Fang Jian said calmly, "There's no point in talking too much. Everything must be done according to the laws of nature."

Madam Jing Luo asked, "What does Master Hongqing want in exchange for releasing them? I am willing to offer all my magical treasures, elixirs, precious materials, and even everything I possess to Xitian Mansion to atone for the sins of Daoist Fellow Yehua and the others."

Fang Jian waved his sleeves and said, "Fellow Daoist Jing Luo, this deity has made it very clear. Everything must be followed according to the Heavenly Laws and Jade Principles."

Madam Jing Luo looked straight at Fang Jian, and after a long pause she said slowly, "Actually, this has nothing to do with the Heavenly Laws and Jade Regulations. This is just a struggle between Heaven and Buddhism. The Heavenly Laws are just a weapon you use to deal with Buddhism."

Fang Jian's gaze fixed, a cold light flashed in his eyes as he looked directly at Madam Jing Luo. Although Madam Jing Luo was also a Golden Immortal like Fang Jian, she trembled all over when she saw Fang Jian's gaze, and then felt cold all over.

Fang Jian said nothing, just staring at Madam Jing Luo, who turned pale and trembled all over. She finally understood that Fang Jian's terrifying power lay not in his outward appearance but in his inner, ruthless divine might.

But Madam Jing Luo did not retreat. Instead, she took a deep breath and said, "Master Hongqing, release Daoist Fellow Yehua and the others. I will use my life to atone for their sins."

"This is too stupid." Fang Jian said secretly in his heart.

Fang Jian sighed slightly, then said to Madam Jing Luo, "It's impossible to let people go. Your life is your own. I won't take it, and it can't atone for the sins of others. Go away."

After saying that, Fang Jian turned around and left, transforming into a beam of fairy light and flying out of the training ground.

Madam Jing Luo was stunned for a moment as she watched Fang Jian leave, then she quickly transformed into a rainbow of light and chased after him.

Finally, outside the gate of Hongde Palace, Madam Jing Luo stood in front of Fang Jian. Fang Jian stopped in time and looked at Madam Jing Luo quietly.

"Master Hongqing, I want to fight you! If I win, you will release Fellow Daoist Yehua and the others. If I lose, you will put me in prison for my crimes." As she spoke, Madam Jingluo summoned her magic weapon, the 'Taiyi Zhenhua Sword'.

Fang Jian was speechless upon hearing this. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, then said to Madam Jing Luo, "Okay!"

"Then let's go outside..." Madam Jing Luo was about to say that they were going outside to fight, and then she saw Fang Jian in front of her raising his hand and holding up a nine-colored jade thing and hitting her with a flash of lightning.

Madam Jing Luo's face changed and she hurriedly raised her sword to block. At this time, she heard a sword chanting in her ears, and then the Taiyi Jin Guang Sword suddenly appeared in Fang Jian's hand, and with a "clang", the Taiyi Zhenhua Sword in her hand was knocked away. Then Madam Jing Luo only heard a muffled "bang" sound from her head, and then her eyes went black, and then her body softened and she knew nothing.

With a soft "thump" sound, Madam Jing Luo fell to the ground with a band on her forehead, and the Taiyi Zhenhua sword in her hand turned into a green light and flew back to her forehead.

Fang Jian held the Taiyi Golden Light Sword in his left hand and the Divine Green Jade Ruyi in his right. He looked at Madam Jing Luo, who had fainted on the ground, and shook his head and laughed, "How naive! How could Lord Youde have such a naive sister?"

At this time, the Generals of Capture and Kill, Destroy Altars, Destroy Temples, Messenger of Letters and Guardian Heavenly General all heard the noise and rushed over. When they saw Madam Jing Luo lying on the ground with blood on her forehead and Fang Jian holding a sword in one hand and a Ruyi in the other, they were all shocked and hurried forward to check on Madam Jing Luo.

"No need to look, he just fainted." Fang Jian put away the Taiyi Golden Light Sword and said lightly.

General Zhuosha looked at Fang Jian, then at Madam Jingluo, and said, "Master Hongqing, this..."

Fang Jian said, "Send her to a small pavilion in a side hall to heal her wounds. When she wakes up, let her leave Xitian Mansion. Also, tell her to practice hard. When she defeats me one day, I will release the monks of Guangfa Temple. But remember, don't tell her where I am."

After saying that, Fang Jian turned around and transformed into a beam of fairy light, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

General Zhuosha and the others looked at Fang Jian in a daze as he left, but they quickly realized what Fang Jian had said just now, that Madam Jing Luo had come to rescue the monks of Guangfa Temple.

"Forget it. It's not our turn to worry about this. Come, let's send Madam to the small pavilion to recuperate first." General Fatan said to several people.

Everyone nodded, then gently helped Madam Jingluo up from the ground and sent her to a small pavilion in the side hall.
