After capturing Hong Yuanhua, Fang Jian exchanged a glance with the Ten Directions Commander Xue Jin, then said, "Please allow the Commander to make the arrangements next."

But Xue Jin shook his head and said, "Mountain God, I brought my troops here this time. Master Weisheng asked me to follow your instructions."

"Mountain God, don't be modest. First, you deserve the greatest credit for capturing this monster and obtaining evidence of Mingyue Cave. Second, you hold the Nine Dragon Staff, giving you the power to command the heavenly soldiers and generals." Xue Jin smiled and said, "Mountain God, please feel free to make the arrangements for what to do next, and I will also assist you."

After receiving Xue Jin's promise, Fang Jian was determined and no longer hesitated. He said, "Okay, then order the heavenly soldiers and strongmen to set up camp on Yuquan Peak first."

After saying this, Fang Jian turned to the various celestial soldiers and warriors and gave orders: "Quickly lead the celestial soldiers and warriors to station on Yuquan Peak. Every day, a group of demon-slaying warriors will set up a demon-slaying formation to trap this demon. No mistakes are allowed."

"Yes, sir!" Dozens of Yu Hous clasped their fists towards Fang Jian in response. As seventh-rank Yu Hous, Fang Jian was one level higher than them, and what's more, Fang Jian had the Nine Dragon Staff in his hand.

Then, fifty thousand heavenly soldiers descended from a cloud of fire, landed on Yuquan Peak, and began to set up camp.

Fang Jian and Xue Jin entered the mountain god temple. Xue Jin waved his hand and sent out a ray of fairy light, which made the slightly dilapidated mountain god temple look brand new. Then he set up two thrones and sat down with Fang Jian on the left and right.

"I want to send someone to the demon house in Mingyue Cave to pass on a message and test Master Wuxiang." Fang Jian said.

Xue Jin nodded and said, "Who does the mountain lord want to send?"

Fang Jian smiled slightly and said, "Of course I'll go where I know the way."

After saying this, Fang Jian made a hand gesture, then flicked his finger towards the ground and said, "Come out."

Soon, a cloud of smoke rose from the ground of the mountain temple, and then an old man wearing a light green brocade robe, a tall hat, a short stature, and white hair and beard emerged from the ground.

"Earth Escape Technique." This is a direction chosen for advancement after the Divine Movement Technique has been cultivated to perfection.

It is very difficult for the land gods in the world to be promoted. They may sit in this priesthood for their entire lives. Therefore, most land gods will choose the art of earth escape after they have mastered the art of walking.

After all, if the land god cannot escape underground, wouldn’t he be unworthy of the name “land god”?

"The little god Zhou Ye pays homage to Lord Shanjun and Lord Ten Directions Commander!" The appointment of the Heavenly Court had already been announced, and all lower-level immortal officials could admire the Dharma images of immortals at all levels in the Immortal Official Jade Disc.

So of course the land god recognized Xue Jin and Fang Jian at a glance, and bowed down to them.

"Land God." Fang Jian called out.

Zhou Ye quickly responded, "I'm here."

Fang Jian asked, "Do you know the Demon Lord Wuxiang of Mingyue Cave?"

Zhou Ye replied: "Yes, yes, he often calls me over."

Xue Jin and Fang Jian were not surprised. In the eyes of mortals, the land god was a high and mighty god, but in the eyes of cultivators and monsters with a little cultivation, they would not show too much respect to the land god.

"Now I order you to go to Mingyue Cave and tell him something." Fang Jian said.

Zhou Ye's face changed. As the land god of Mingquan Mountain, he certainly knew what Fang Jian wanted him to do.

Just now, when the heavenly soldiers and strongmen captured Hong Yuanhua, he had been watching from a distance. If Fang Jian had not used the land summoning spell to summon him, he would not have planned to come over.

"...I wonder what Lord Mountain King wants me to do?" The land god asked cautiously with hope in his heart.

Fang Jian smiled and said, "Do you recognize the demon crane chained up on the cliff outside?"

The land god hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't dare lie. "My Lord, this demon is the grandson of the Wuxiang Master, Hong Yuanhua, the second-in-command of the Mingyue Cave Demon Palace."

Fang Jian chuckled and said, "Very good. I order you to go to Mingyue Cave and inform Master Wuxiang of this matter. Tell him that Hong Yuanhua was so audacious that he actually occupied the Divine Mansion and that his demon generals even attacked and killed the Celestial Officials. These are truly heinous crimes. As an elder of the evil demon clan, he must also bear the responsibility for his crimes. He has one day to go to Yuquan Peak alone to apologize for his crime, otherwise he will not be forgiven."

Upon hearing this, the land god felt a pang of pain in his heart. He looked up at Fang Jian and said, "Why didn't the mountain king send his heavenly soldiers to deliver the message?"

"The heavenly soldiers and strong men cannot escape underground, and the journey is too long and they might be blocked by demons. The land god has served here for many years and knows Mingquan Mountain very well, so it's just right to send you there," Fang Jian said.

The land god looked embarrassed and hesitated, not daring to agree.

Seeing him like this, Xue Jin frowned and was about to scold him, but Fang Jian spoke first, "If you can handle this matter well, all those accelerated immortal herbs and elixirs that Hong Yuanhua brought will be given to you."

Upon hearing this, the land god was shocked and looked at Fang Jian in disbelief.

Fang Jian looked at him and smiled, "I have been recognized by the Jade Emperor and promoted from the position of land god to the position of mountain god of Duanjie Mountain. The rewards I have received are self-evident. I will not hesitate to give you even a few magical herbs and medicines."

Seeing Fang Jian's words, the land god gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, even if it costs me my life, I will pass on the mountain king's words."

After saying this, the land god bowed towards Xue Jin and Fang Jian, then a puff of white smoke rose from under his feet and his figure disappeared in an instant.

...

Lan Shaojun quickly entered the Mingyue Cave, bowed to the head monk Wuxiang, and asked, "Ancestor, has anything happened?"

Master Wuxiang nodded and said, "My Swirling Stone Fan Avatar Immortal Technique has been broken, and Yuanhua has been captured by the heavenly soldiers and generals."

"What?!" Lan Shaojun was horrified when he heard that. He immediately shook his clothes and said, "Grandmaster, you must rescue Yuan Hua no matter what."
