After Yihuan delivered the talisman, she returned to the Heavenly Palace from the North Gate. There are four main gates in the Heavenly Palace, namely the east, south, west and north. You can go through any gate if you want.

Like the South Gate of Heaven, the North Gate of Heaven is guarded by heavenly soldiers and generals. When Yihuan approached the towering gate tower of the North Gate of Heaven, a golden light fell directly from above and swept across her body.

Yi Huan shuddered, feeling as if her blood and energy had been frozen the moment the golden light swept across her.

She looked up and saw a black ancient sword hanging above the Beitianmen gate.

She heard from her colleagues that this sword was called the 'Demon-Repelling Sword' and was hung on the North Gate of Heaven by the Great Emperor Zhenwu himself. Any evil demon or monster that approached would be discovered.

No wonder everyone likes to go through the South Gate of Heaven. There is no such magic weapon guarding the South Gate of Heaven, Yihuan thought to himself.

But she still didn't know the deeper reason behind this. The South Gate of Heaven faced the Southern Continent. Where was that? It was the place where Queen Nuwa first created humans, the place where the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were born. It's no exaggeration to say that it was the ancestral land of the human race.

Therefore, in a place like this, the Heavenly Court would naturally not take measures to guard against demons.

'Dong' 'Dong' 'Dong'

Just as Yihuan had just entered the North Gate of Heaven, the sky above his head suddenly shook, followed by the sound of thunder drums coming down from the sky.

Then a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers came in formation, with flags waving and drums beating, marching towards the North Gate of Heaven in a mighty force.

"Yihuan!" A soft call came from the side. Yihuan, who was in a daze, turned her head and saw that the person calling her was her best friend, sister 'Su Mu'.

This Su Mu is also a messenger like her, but she has been an immortal official for more than three thousand years. When Yi Huan just became a messenger and was unfamiliar with the place, Su Mu often talked to her and told her the duties of an immortal official, so the two have a very good relationship.

"Come here quickly." Su Mu waved to Yi Huan from a distance.

Yi Huan nodded, then rushed to Su Mu, "Sister Su, have you been back for a long time?"

Su Mu smiled and said, "It's just the talismans for the six states. I already know the locations of the mountain gods and water gods in various places by heart, so of course it will be quick."

As they spoke, the heavenly soldiers had already arrived in front of the North Gate of Heaven. Then, rays of fairy light flew across the sky, and huge flags fluttered in the wind.

Su Mu and Yi Huan turned their heads to look, and then they heard Su Mu say, "Next time you see the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals marching out, don't stand in front of the Heavenly Gate. Remember?"

Yi Huan nodded and said, "Yeah, I understand. Sister Su, where are they going?"

Su Mu looked at it for a while and said, "These 100,000 heavenly soldiers are all demon-conquering heavenly soldiers and demon-suppressing warriors. It must be that demons have appeared in the lower realm to cause chaos again."

At this moment, thunderclouds suddenly surged above the sky, and then a row of heavenly soldiers, holding flags, and a solemn ceremonial guard swept over.

Su Mu was stunned instantly after just one look. He saw that the flags were majestic, like a forest of feathers, and extremely majestic.

After being surprised, Su Mu quickly counted them. First, there were the ceremonial flags, including four pairs of Fang Tian Ji and twelve pairs of Xiang Jie.

Next are the banners, which include "five pairs of dragon head banners, one pair of Vermillion Bird banners, one pair of Black Tortoise banners, one pair of Azure Dragon banners, one pair of White Tiger banners, two pairs of Buzhou Mountain Leopard Tail banners, five pairs of Feathered Banners, and one pair of Imperial Staffs."

The next is the axe, which includes three pairs of bone spears, three pairs of single dragon spears, and three pairs of double dragon spears.

Finally, there are flags, including one flag each of the twenty-eight constellations, such as the corner flag and the Kangxiu flag, one flag each of the four waters of Jiang, He, Huai, and Ji, one flag each of the Celestial Deer, Celestial Horse, Luan, Lin, Xiong, and Xiong, and one red banner and one black banner.

There are also forty yellow flags, twelve golden dragon flags, four pairs of gate flags, and forty-eight thunder drums.

Watching the flags fluttering by and hearing the rumbling of thunder drums, Yihuan's heart was extremely shocked.

"Is this the ceremonial procession of the Great Heavenly Venerable?" Yi Huan asked with wide eyes.

Su Mu retracted his gaze, then looked at Yi Huan and shook his head, saying, "No, if the Great Celestial Lord were to travel, the procession would be a hundred times larger than this."

After saying this, Su Mu said decisively: "This must be a great emperor coming down to the mortal realm to patrol the sky."

As Su Mu finished speaking, a majestic voice boomed from above: "By order of the Grand Envoy of Taixuan Metropolis, the Holy Mother of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Yuannu, the Northern Continent has been invaded by external sects and true demons. I order the 'Thunder Emperor of the North' to lead 100,000 heavenly soldiers and 72 earthly evil generals to descend upon the mortal world to patrol the heavens and slay the demons. Wherever this order reaches, all quarters must respond. Those who disobey, hide from the demons, or offend the majesty of heaven will be executed first and then reported. This order is issued by the Taixuan Metropolis and the Divine Jade Palace."

"Thunder Emperor of the North! How come another heretic demon appears?" Su Mu exclaimed, and then the two of them saw a magnificent and majestic figure above the nine heavens falling into the central ceremonial guard of the heavenly soldiers and generals.

...

"Haha, God of the Mountain, we meet again. Why did you come here? You made me look for you for a long time." A ray of light fell on the small stone cliff, and then the assistant secretary Taixuan Dushengshi 'Yishan' smiled at Fang Jian.

Fang Jian stepped forward, bowed to Yishan, and said, "Brother Dao, how are you these days?"

Yishan said with a smile on his face, "Very good. You see, I have now reached the Yangshen Dao. This is all thanks to those thousand-year-old fire dragon scales of yours. At that time, someone happened to be asking for them at a high price, and I sold them for three times the price."

Fang Jian took a closer look and found that Yishan had indeed entered the Yangshen realm from the Yuanying realm.

"Congratulations, Brother." Fang Jian congratulated immediately.

Yishan laughed heartily and said, "But I'm still no match for you. Even a Heavenly Lord fell at your hands. You must be quite famous now."

Fang Jian smiled faintly and said, "What does it have to do with me if Lord Dingyuan is not good at educating his children?"
