"Fang Jian." Just when Fang Jian's words shook the entire Haori Palace, Di Jun finally spoke.

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty is here."

Di Jun said slowly, "According to the orders of the Four Great Emperors, you hold the Mysterious Purple Star Talisman and govern the laws of Northern Juluzhou. You decide the laws of life and death. This is your authority, and the Demon Court naturally has no right to interfere."

As he spoke, Di Jun continued, "But all things in heaven and earth, all living beings, all have a heart towards the Tao and a virtue of loving life. As the saying goes, 'The Immortal Way values ​​life and is boundless in its salvation.' True Man Hongqing, you are not at fault for enforcing the laws of Heaven. But you should also be cautious in killing. In the matter of Juhu Gorge, you were enforcing the laws of Heaven, and it was common sense to make decisions on the spot. However, the slaughter of over a hundred thousand demons by thunder and fire was excessive. When True Man Hongqing enforces the laws of Heaven in the future, please bear in mind the hardships our demon race has endured in their upbringing and cultivation. If those who have committed no sins, please spare them a chance."

After saying this, Di Jun stood up and bowed on the steps of the palace.

Di Jun's move completely confused Fang Jian. Not only Fang Jian, but even the demon master Kunpeng and the twelve demon gods were horrified.

The demon king, a Daluo Jinxian, and a great king appointed by the Heavenly Court, actually saluted Fang Jian in person.

This is not condescension, this is simply humiliation.

But this was Di Jun's spontaneous behavior, and no one forced him to do so, so Fang Jian was completely confused.

But Fang Jian quickly reacted. He quickly bowed down, made a 90-degree bend, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just expressed my feelings briefly. If I have offended you, please forgive me.

If you speak nonsense and offend the dignity of others, you will be punished by death."

After Fang Jian finished speaking, he remained in a state of bowing and would never stand up without Di Jun's order.

At this time, the twelve demon gods knelt on one knee, clasped their fists towards Emperor Jun and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the supreme ruler of our demon race. How can you belittle yourself?"

Demon Master Kunpeng could no longer sit still. He stood up and bowed to Emperor Jun, saying, "Your Majesty's mercy is unwavering. If the demons of the world knew about this, they would surely be grateful for your kindness."

Demon Master Kunpeng had, after all, attained the Dao Fruit of the Daluo Golden Immortal. Unlike the Twelve Demon Gods, he didn't simply see Di Jun paying respect to a Taiyi Xuanxian, a fourth-rank immortal official in the Heavenly Court. Instead, he saw Di Jun's great compassion.

But after Kunpeng said this, everyone in the Haori Palace suddenly understood. The twelve demon gods immediately looked up at Di Jun in astonishment.

Fang Jian only reacted after hearing Di Jun's words, and said to himself "trouble".

Fang Jian is a man who doesn't stand to being tough, but if you say he is soft-hearted, it depends on the situation.

But in the current situation, Di Jun suddenly appeared so "soft", but he had to eat it, and he had no choice but to eat it. If he didn't eat it, the Heavenly Court would have to eat it.

Because, when Di Jun pleaded with Fang Jian for the sake of the demon clan, he would definitely not hide the secret, but let the Daluo of the Heavenly Court, Taoism, and Buddhism know about it.

Di Jun is a virtual emperor appointed by the Heavenly Court, one of the real Golden Immortals, and the supreme ruler of the demon clan. If Fang Jian does not accept such a great honor, it would not be a blow to Di Jun's face, but to the face of the Heavenly Court.

Would Heaven allow itself to be slapped in the face? Of course not, so if Fang Jian did not accept it, Heaven would take it over and would have to respond to Di Jun, which would make things even more troublesome.

Sure enough, after Kunpeng finished speaking, Di Jun said, "Master Demon, you are too kind. I am the Demon King, and protecting the people of the Demon Clan is my bounden duty."

After saying this, Di Jun turned to Fang Jian and asked, "I wonder if Master Hongqing can grant my request?"

Fang Jian sighed inwardly, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor is benevolent and compassionate, and has graced the world with His mercy. Now, He has disregarded the solemn ceremony of thousands of years to issue an order to me. How dare I disobey His Majesty's order? I only hope that all demons in the world can understand His Majesty's benevolent heart, devote themselves to the Tao, and quickly achieve immortality. They should not cause any more trouble, disrupt the order of heaven and earth, and destroy the peace of all living beings, so as to betray His Majesty's kindness."

Fang Jian's words were very clear. Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, you have condescended to bow to me with compassion and mercy and plead for mercy. I, Fang Jian, dare not disobey your orders. In the future, if there is no solid evidence, I will no longer kill the demons in Northern Juluzhou. But I hope that those demons can be grateful for the kindness of Your Majesty the Demon Emperor and stop "making trouble" in the future. If they make trouble and get caught by me, I will never let them off easily.

How could Di Jun not understand the meaning behind Fang Jian's words? He just smiled faintly. However, his goal had been achieved, which was to stop Fang Jian from killing the monsters indiscriminately.

As for those demon cultivators who have actually committed crimes, he will not protect them.

After Fang Jian responded, Di Jun sat down again and said to Fang Jian, "Master Hongqing, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor." Fang Jian stood up as ordered.

Gufu

Then Emperor Jun said to the twelve demon gods and their demon generals and demon immortals who were kneeling on the ground, "Stand up, everyone."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the demon fairies and demon generals bowed and stood up to express their gratitude.

Then Emperor Jun asked again, "Where is the captain in front of the palace?"

A demon general quickly stepped forward, bowed and said, "I am here."

"Take Long Xian and the other six out of the Abyss, seal the Niwan Palace, and hand them over to Master Hongqing." Di Jun said slowly.

Upon hearing this, the demon general immediately nodded and took the order and left.

Soon, Long Yan and the other six were brought into the hall by the demon general. As soon as they entered the hall, they immediately knelt down and kept confessing their crimes and begging for mercy to Di Jun.

But Di Jun looked at the six people and pointed at Fang Jian and said, "Do you recognize this immortal?"

The six people were stunned when they heard this, and then they raised their heads to look at Fang Jian, but they had never met Fang Jian before, so he just looked familiar.
