Hu Meng continued, "I've been the mountain god for so many years, and I've always been diligent and conscientious, never slacking off. I became the god of Dianxiang Mountain because of my meritorious service in catching evil spirits and ghosts. How could I possibly harbor ghosts?"

"Hehe." Fang Jian looked at Hu Meng and smiled faintly, then gestured towards Chen En, and then raised his hand to point at a seemingly flawless stone wall in the cave.

'boom'

A flash of lightning flew out from Chen En's hand. It was the six-sided golden thunder hammer. After the flash of lightning, there was a loud "boom" sound. The six-sided golden thunder hammer had smashed the stone wall. Accompanied by a woman's scream, a wide side room instantly appeared in everyone's eyes.

Hu Meng's legs went limp and his face turned pale for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses again and was still unwilling to give up his last hope.

Hu Meng pointed at the side room and said, "How...why is there a side room here? I never knew it!"

"Really?" Fang Jian looked at Hu Meng and asked.

Hu Meng nodded repeatedly and said, "I really didn't know there was a side room here. It's her! Yes, she must be hiding in here and raising ghosts. Master Hongqing, this is a demon. Please kill her quickly."

Lan Hongying, who was already frightened, trembled when she heard Hu Meng's words, and looked at Hu Meng in disbelief.

But Hu Meng was desperate to protect himself. He pointed at Lan Hongying and said to Fang Jian and Chen En, "Master Hongqing, this Thunder General, this woman must be a demon. She is hiding here and harboring ghosts. Kill her quickly to prevent any rebellion."

"Shut up!" Fang Jian shouted at Hu Meng.

Hu Meng was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Fang Jian scolding him, "Right or wrong, whether to live or die, all are decided by me. How can I allow you to be so presumptuous here!"

Hu Meng closed his mouth and dared not say another word.

At this time, Fang Jian raised his hand and nodded towards Lan Hongying and the side room, and Chen En immediately led the thunder soldiers into the side room.

Two thunder soldiers first dragged Lan Hongying out, and then one of them said, "Respectful to Master Hongqing, this is a casual cultivator in the Spirit Refining Realm. She does not possess any evil spirits or ghost techniques. Judging from her aura, she must be practicing a very low-level Taoist technique."

"Yeah." Fang Jian nodded, and Lan Hongying was pulled aside to wait.

Then Chen En came out from the side room again and said to Fang Jian, "Master Hongqing, please come in and take a look."

Fang Jian stepped into the side room and saw only a stone couch in it. On the couch, a jade bottle emitting a strong ghostly aura was standing quietly on the couch.

Chen En held the six-sided golden thunder hammer in his hand and said eagerly, "Master Hongqing, do you want to smash it?"

Fang Jian hurriedly stopped Chen En and said, "This is evidence of a crime. Besides, the ghosts inside have left and have not returned yet. You must not act rashly." After that, Fang Jian ordered two thunder soldiers to guard the Hundred Ghosts Bottle, and then led everyone out.

"Hu Meng, what else do you have to say now? There is your magical power and energy on that jade bottle. Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?" Fang Jian asked Hu Meng in a cold voice.

Hu Meng sighed deeply, then lowered his head in despair.

Fang Jian glanced at the distraught Hu Meng, then waved his sleeves and said, "Capture him!"

Heavy thunder chains and thunder locks were tied to Hu Meng's body. Hu Meng did not resist at all, and he was powerless to resist.

Fang Jian then turned around again, looked at Lan Hongying who was sitting there trembling, and asked, "What's your name?"

Lan Hongying's delicate body trembled, and she quickly raised her head and said, "Reply...Reply to the God, my surname is Lan, and my name is 'Hongying'."

"Who is this cultivator? Who is his master?" Fang Jian asked.

Lan Hongying was stunned when she heard Fang Jian's question. After a long while, she said blankly, "God... I... I don't understand what you mean."

At this time, Bai Xingjian said, "Master Hongqing wants to ask you, where are you from, and who is your master?"

Lan Hongying understood this time. She glanced at Hu Meng, then quickly retracted her gaze as if struck by lightning and said, "I... I don't have a master. I used to be a nun at Qingxia Temple."

"Why did the nun from Qingxia Temple come to the cave of the Xiangshan Mountain God? Who taught you your Taoism?" Fang Jian asked coldly, "Answer truthfully!"

Lan Hongying shuddered all over. At this time, Hu Meng, who was tied to the ground, raised his head and gave Lan Hongying a look full of tenderness but warning.

Then Fang Jian kicked Hu Meng in the stomach, causing him to let out a dull cry of pain and his body immediately curled up in pain.

"I'm questioning you here, and you're giving me signals from below. Do you think I'm blind?" Fang Jian said in a cold tone. He then said to the two thunder soldiers guarding Hu Meng, "Drag him into the side room and make him stare at the jade bottle. If he dares to close his eyes, blink, or look away, you will be beaten severely!"

The two Thunder Soldiers were startled upon hearing this, and immediately, with excitement, they bowed and said loudly, "As ordered by the law!"
