Upon hearing this, Master Shao Ling immediately nodded and said, "Master Hong Qing, I accept the punishment."

"Okay, then we won't report this case to Taixuandu Province or the Grand Envoy. We can just file it in the Ministry of Thunder." Fang Jian nodded.

Shao Ling Zhenren breathed a sigh of relief. If he had reported this to the Grand Envoy, he might have lost his position as the God of Justice. Although Fang Jian could have dealt with him on the spot or even stripped him of his position as a Heavenly Judge with the Purple Star Mysterious Talisman, fortunately, Fang Jian had no intention of deliberately targeting or making things difficult for him.

Fang Jian's judgment was considered very fair to Master Shao Ling.

Fortunately, there was no conflict between Taoism and Buddhism during this period. If the two families had fought during this period and implicated mortals, his sins would have been more than just this.

Fang Jian enforces the law impartially and selflessly, and this time Master Shao Ling experienced it firsthand.

After Fang Jian passed judgment on Master Shao Ling, he immediately summoned the Thunder Department Heavenly Soldiers, two of whom were in the Yang God Realm.

Zhenren Shaoling is an immortal official in the Heavenly Court and also a judicial god of the Heavenly Court. There is no need to make a big fuss to escort him.

His crime was only punishable by two years of suffering in Lei Ze, and his position as an immortal official was not affected at all. As for injuring a thunder soldier and running away, I believe that Master Shao Ling would not do such a foolish thing, unless his brain was damaged by alcohol.

"Master Hongqing." Two thunder soldiers came before Fang Jian and bowed. "Master Hongqing, may I ask where the criminal is?"

Fang Jian pointed at Shao Ling Zhenren and said, "Shao Ling, the Heavenly Court's judicial deity, drank alcohol while performing his duties and neglected his duties. He also knowingly broke the law, so I sentence Lei Ze to two years in prison."

"This..." The two thunder soldiers looked at Master Shao Ling and were stunned for a moment.

Judge Tian was questioned? This was the first time in history!

Zhenren Shao Ling even covered his face with his hands. As the first judicial god in the history of the Heavenly Court to be held accountable for violating the Heavenly Law, he was afraid that he would soon become famous in the Heavenly Court.

"Take it away." Fang Jian wrote an imperial edict, imprinted the Ziwei Xuanfu on it, and handed it to the two thunder soldiers before saying.

The two Thunder Soldiers took the order, looked at Fang Jian in shock, and then quickly bowed and replied, "Yes."

Then the two thunder soldiers came to Master Shao Ling again and said, "Master Shao, I'm sorry."

Shao Ling Zhenren looked at the two thunder soldiers and asked, "Can you cover your faces?"

The two thunder soldiers were startled, and then one of them said, "Master Shao, please rest assured. You can go ahead and take the two of us to the Thunder Department."

This was considered to save face for Shao Ling. It was extremely normal for a Heavenly Judge to travel with two thunder soldiers.

Shao Ling sighed deeply and said, "Okay, thank you both very much."

"We dare not, we dare not." The two thunder soldiers said hurriedly.

...

Lei Ze, also known as 'Heavenly Prison' or 'Black Prison', is governed by the Thunder Emperor in the central department of Thunder. It is the place where the Heavenly Court imprisons prisoners. Mortals in Lei Ze suffer from the pain of lightning and fire every day. There is no spiritual energy or earth energy in Lei Ze, so it is impossible to practice and replenish magic power. When the magic power is exhausted, they can only rely on their physical bodies to withstand the punishment of lightning and fire.

The person in charge of Lei Ze is the subordinate of the Central Thunder Emperor, Yaozhuang Zhenren Kuang Xiu, whose immortal title is "Lei Ze Du Jian".

When two thunder soldiers escorted Shao Ling Zhenren to the Lei Ze Du Jian Mansion, Yao Zhuang Zhenren Kuang Xiu was also extremely shocked. The Heavenly Judge was thrown into Lei Ze to be tortured. This was something that had never happened to countless generations of Lei Ze Du Jian, but it happened to this Lei Ze Du Jian.

When he saw the imperial edict issued by Fang Jian that Lei Bing handed over, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Master Hongqing is truly fair and selfless, and his law enforcement is ruthless."

You should know that when Fang Jian destroyed the altars and temples on Jianta Mountain, this Shaoling Zhenren and everyone in the Tianyuan Court expressed their support for Fang Jian at the first time.

Later, after Fang Jian suppressed Baotanhua Bodhisattva on Mount Buzhou, this Shaoling Zhenren congratulated Fang Jian together with the star gods, and returned home drunk that night.

Not only was there no personal enmity between the two, but Master Shao Ling also expressed his attitude twice in a row and gave Fang Jian the necessary support.

But it is not true to say that Fang Jian is an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.

Fang Jian's past actions speak volumes; this man strictly enforces the laws of heaven without the slightest mercy.

To use the Queen Mother of the West’s evaluation of Fang Jian, it is: he abides by the laws of heaven and strictly observes the laws of heaven.

However, although such people are admirable, they lack a lot of humanity, Yaozhuang Zhenren thought to himself.

"Master Shao Ling, you will have to work hard for two years." Master Yaozhuang said to Master Shao Ling in front of him, explaining how harsh the environment inside Lei Ze was.

Shao Ling Zhenren shook his head and said, "Needless to say. I am a God of Justice, but I know the law but I broke it. Zhenren Hongqing enforces the law impartially, and I have no resentment in my heart. Please, Lord Supervisor, send me to Lei Ze to be punished."

"Alas." Yaozhuang Zhenren shook his head and sighed, then he raised the flag order 'Five-Direction Thunder and Fire Order' that controlled Lei Ze, and personally sent Shaoling Zhenren to the entrance of Lei Ze, and used the Five-Direction Thunder and Fire Order to open Lei Ze.

An explosive and scorching breath suddenly rushed out from the Thunder Lake, but Master Shao Ling was not afraid at all. He turned around and bowed to Master Yaozhuang and the two thunder soldiers, then turned around and stepped into the Thunder Lake.

A moment later, the entrance to Lei Ze was closed, leaving only some explosive, hot, dry and decadent atmosphere at the scene, but it soon dissipated.
