King Qin Guang issued an order, saying, "You two will be personally responsible for escorting Zhou Ruohua back to Yang to say goodbye. You must return on time without delay."

"I obey the order!" Black and White Impermanence bowed and accepted the order.

Afterwards, Zhou Ruohua was personally escorted by the Black and White Impermanence to the world of the living to say goodbye. It was already broad daylight when he returned to the world of the living.

The Yan Mansion was completely deserted, and all the important people in Yanzhou Prefecture came to the Yan Mansion.

As a colleague of Yan Xiumin, Zheng Li naturally came to Yan's residence, but this time the Black and White Impermanence did not let Zheng Li see them.

Yan Daoqing still couldn't believe that his wife was dead. He fainted twice in the early morning. When he finally woke up, he rushed out of the Yan Mansion and rode his horse out of Yanzhou City and headed straight for Shishan.

Zhou Ruohua's return to the world of the living lasted for two days and two nights. Only after she saw her parents and siblings who had rushed over from Jichuan Prefecture was she taken back to the underworld by the Black and White Impermanence.

After returning to the underworld, Zhou Ruohua was directly arranged to reincarnate. In her next life, she would be born into a wealthy family, live a happy life with many children and grandchildren, and die of natural causes at the age of 88.

...

After dealing with the matters in the underworld, Fang Jian returned to heaven with the Secretary Bai Xingjian and the Archives Editor Qian Fan.

After the historian Qian Fan returned to the Heavenly Palace, he and Fang Jian went back to the Tiangong Academy respectively. As for Fang Jian, he took Bai Xingjian to the Thunder Department.

Department of Thunder, Taiyi Thunder Division.

Prime Minister Jian He had been waiting for Fang Jian for a long time, because after Fairy Xiyue was captured and brought back to Heaven by Fang Jian, she had been imprisoned in the Taiyi Thunder Division.

Compared with dealing with Fairy Xiyue, it is obvious that the order of the underworld is much more important, so after Fang Jian detained Fairy Xiyue in the Taiyi Thunder Division, he went to deal with the affairs of the underworld first.

Now that the affairs of the underworld have been dealt with, it is time to judge Fairy Xiyue.

"Bring it up." After Fang Jian sat down, he said to Jian He, the Prime Minister of Taiyi Thunder Division.

Jian He nodded, then said to the Lei Bing in front of the palace: "Bring the criminal Xiyue."

The thunder soldiers nodded and took the order and left. Soon, four thunder soldiers, two in front and two behind, escorted Fairy Xiyue into the Taiyi Thunder Department Hall.

Fairy Xiyue was tied up with three chains from the Thunder Department at this time, one on her hands, one on her feet, and one on her waist. Not only were her Taoist powers sealed, but after she put on these chains, even walking became extremely difficult for her.

"Xiyue, a Taoist immortal, is a disciple of He Xiangu, one of the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave. In order to gain worshippers in the mortal world, she bribed ghost messengers and judges with treasures, causing the dead to come back to life and prolong their lives. She violated the laws of heaven and ignored the order of the human world. Do you plead guilty?" Jian He first read out the charges against Xiyue Immortal, and then asked in a stern voice.

Xiyue Fairy no longer had the panic she had before. After hearing this, she just said calmly: "I have done these things, but I cannot confess my sins. Monks are compassionate. Those mortals cannot bear to see their loved ones leave, so I gave up my treasure.

"It is a meritorious deed to help their relatives return to life and prolong their lives. Where is the sin?"

Fang Jian said, "Mortals are born, grow old, get sick, and die. Good fortune and misfortune are all predetermined. As a Taoist immortal, you should know this. You have arbitrarily violated this destiny and disrupted the order of yin and yang. This is a sin. Since you admit that you did these things, then you have pleaded guilty."

"This is a merit, not a sin!" Xiyue Fairy said with her head held high and her chest puffed out, "I want to see my master, He Xiangu!"

Fang Jian sneered, "You will see your master, but not now. Now that you have confessed your crime, you must accept the punishment."

Hearing the word 'executed', Fairy Xiyue's expression changed. She looked at Fang Jian and said, "What are you going to do? How dare you?! My master is one of the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave, a super-grade immortal official. How dare you punish me?"

"It's not a punishment, it's a sentence!" Fang Jian stood up, took out the Immortal Official's Jade Disc, and said to Fairy Xiyue, "This god obeys the will of Heaven and upholds the laws of Heaven. I now punish you according to Article 3 of the 'Heavenly Laws: Laws for Loose Immortal Cultivators': Any lone immortal cultivator who bribes an immortal official, violates the Heavenly Laws, and disrupts the order of the Three Realms will be expelled from the immortal register, their immortal roots will be shattered, and they will be forbidden from becoming immortals for three lifetimes."

Upon hearing Fang Jian's verdict, Fairy Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then horrified. She suddenly took a step forward, causing the chains on her body to rattle.

"How dare you remove me from the immortal register? I am a disciple of Taoism, not an immortal official from your heavenly court! I want to see my master!" Fairy Xiyue shouted as she rushed forward.

The thunder soldiers around her grabbed the chains on her body tightly and held her back.

Fang Jian said calmly, "It doesn't matter if you are a Taoist disciple or a Buddhist disciple, as long as you violate the Heavenly Law, there will be no forgiveness."

At this point, Fang Jian looked down at Fairy Xiyue and said, "Do you think the words 'Heavenly Court' are just for show?"

As they spoke, Jian He, the Supreme Immortal of the Taiyi Thunder Division, had already prepared an imperial edict. Fang Jian took it, glanced at it, and then said, "The wandering immortal Xiyue has repeatedly bribed the immortal officials, violating the heavenly rules. I hereby sentence her to be expelled from the immortal register, her immortal roots shattered, and she will be forbidden from becoming an immortal for three lifetimes. After her execution, she will be imprisoned in the Lei Ze Prison for five hundred years."

After saying this, Fang Jian stamped the talisman with his own Immortal Official Jade Disc Seal and handed it to the Taiyi Thunder Commander beside him.

General Lei took the talisman, turned around and led the thunder soldiers to escort Fairy Xiyue to the Northern Emperor's Thunder Division.

At first, Fairy Xiyue kept shouting that she wanted to see her master, then she started to insult Fang Jian and the Thunder Department. When she was taken to the execution platform of the Northern Emperor's Thunder Department, she finally gave in.

"I was wrong! Master Hongqing, I plead guilty and I am willing to make meritorious contributions while serving my sentence!" Fairy Xiyue shouted loudly.

Fang Jian and Jian He, who came to supervise the execution, stood on the high platform and remained indifferent to the pleading voice of Fairy Xiyue.
