When Fang Jian was told by the boy Qingyan that the Heavenly Court had begun to act, he no longer hesitated and directly ordered Zhu Yuanzhang to capture Huacheng, and then began to annex Huacheng County step by step.

In order to completely occupy the entire Hwaseong County, make it stable and settled, and make the people of Hwaseong County change their beliefs, it is imperative to do so.

"Is that the statue of the Three Yang Patriarch?"

“It seems so.”

"Oh my god, what are they going to do?"

Originally, the people thought that the city was occupied by rioters, and that the Zhenyang Palace should be the safest place with the immortal master inside. But now they saw the statue of the Sanyang Patriarch being moved out and thrown into the street. This was not simple.

Then the people saw that the immortal masters of Zhenyang Palace, who usually looked high and mighty and had an immortal demeanor, were also detained and taken out by other immortal masters.

Fang Jian walked over here and stood there quietly waiting. As time went by, more and more people gathered around.

After Li Xuanyi and Zhao Yangqing captured all the monks of Zhenyang Palace and sealed their magic power, they ordered their disciples to take them to the street.

"Have they all been caught?" Fang Jian asked.

Li Xuanyi and Zhao Yangqing nodded and said, "We've caught them all. We arrested them one by one according to the names in the disciple registration book. Except for one Yangshen realm cultivator who left a few days ago and hasn't returned yet, no one escaped."

"Okay." Fang Jian nodded, then turned and pointed at the statue of the Three Yang Patriarch on the ground and said to the surrounding people, "General Zhu, who occupied Huacheng, is a very kind man. Has everyone received the grain from the granaries that were opened today?"

The people nodded and said sporadically: "I got it..."

Fang Jian said, "It's good that you got it. You may not know that General Zhu has a younger generation. He has a hobby, which is wood carving. He likes good wood the most."

At this point, Fang Jian said, "These three pieces of wood are excellent. If we take them to the prefectural governor's mansion, they will definitely fetch a good price. I just received news that General Zhu is willing to pay 100 taels of silver and 200 kilograms of rice for a piece of high-quality wood the size of a palm."

After saying this, Fang Jian, fearing that no one would understand what he meant, kicked the statue of Sanyang Patriarch.

But as soon as Fang Jian finished speaking, the Zhenyang Palace disciples whose cultivation had been sealed behind him started shouting.

"Evil villain! How dare you insult the statue of the ancestor?"

"You will die a miserable death."

"Within a few days, you will suffer retribution and die a miserable death."

"The three ancestors will surely bring disaster upon you and scatter your soul."

Fang Jian turned around, looked at the Zhenyang Palace disciples, and said, "If anyone of you says 'The Three Yang Patriarch is a dog,' I will release him and let him go."

"Evil thief! Traitor! Dog thief!"

"You will be punished by heaven."

"Despicable! Shameless!"

The disciples of Zhenyang Palace immediately launched a barrage of curses at Fang Jian. The street outside Zhenyang Palace instantly became noisy. If one had not seen this scene with one's own eyes, one would have thought that hundreds of grown men were cursing in the street.

Fang Jian smiled and didn't care about the insults from the monks of Zhenyang Palace. On the contrary, the more fiercely they insulted him, the happier Fang Jian smiled.

Li Xuanyi and Zhao Yangqing, standing by, shook their heads. Li Xuanyi, in particular, sighed, "Don't the disciples of Zhenyang Palace cultivate their minds when they're practicing?"

Zhao Yangqing also looked at the Zhenyang Palace monks who were madly insulting Fang Jian and shook his head, saying, "It's like they've been possessed by demons."

"It's a demonic cult!" Fang Jian said with certainty, "The Zhenyang Dao Palace is a demonic cult! The Zhenyang Dao Palace has bewitched the minds of the Taoist monks, turning them into ordinary people."

At this point, Fang Jian pointed at the cultivators and said to the surrounding people, "The Zhenyang Dao Palace is a demonic sect, absolutely not the orthodox Taoist sect. They have been captured today, and their demonic nature has been revealed. Please take a close look, fellow villagers."

Then Fang Jian raised his hand and with a palm knife, he cut off a piece of wood from the top of the statue of Master Yin Yang, and then put it on the ground and said: "If you want the one hundred taels of silver and two hundred catties of rice, you can come forward and take this wood.

Then go to the prefectural government office to exchange it."

After Fang Jian finished speaking, he called over Shaoyang Mountain's fifth disciple Zhou Youfang and said to him, "Stand here. Whenever a commoner comes forward to ask for wood, cut him a piece."

Zhou Youfang was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Master, why not just destroy the statue of the Three Yang Patriarch? Why go to so much trouble?"

Fang Jian laughed and said, "If we just destroy it, no one will see it, and it won't do any good in changing people's hearts. If we let these mortals each take a piece to exchange for money and rice, then the so-called Three Yang Patriarch statue will be nothing more than a valuable piece of wood in everyone's mind."

"Once something has value, it is no longer sacred," Fang Jian said with a smile.

Li Xuanyi and Zhao Yangqing, who were standing by, were quite surprised to hear this, but after thinking about it carefully, they realized that it made a lot of sense.

Zhou Youfang was also in a daze for a moment, but then he figured out the meaning and nodded, "Yes, Master Dafang, don't worry, I understand."

This is what Zhao Yangqing asked: "The Three Yang Patriarchs are all Taiyi Golden Immortals. Their Taoist power can directly descend upon Huacheng County."

Fang Jian nodded and said, "Master Zhao's concerns are not unreasonable, but I already have a solution."

After saying this, Fang Jian said to Li Xuanyi and Zhao Yangqing, "Please stay in the city, my two Taoist friends. I will be away for a while and will be back in three days at the latest."

Li Xuanyi and Zhao Yangqing nodded and said, "Okay, please return soon, Master Dafang. Otherwise, if the Zhenyang Dao Palace attacks, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it."

Fang Jian smiled slightly, then transmitted a message to the two of them: "I can tell you two Taoist friends a piece of news, but please don't leak it for the time being: Heaven has sent troops to wipe out the Zhenyang Taoist Palace."
