Fang Jian nodded and said, "In that case, I will punish you by making you face the wall and reflect on your mistakes for three days."

"Ah?" The messenger was stunned when he heard the punishment, and looked up at Fang Jian in disbelief.

Even General Fatan and General Pomiao were shocked. This punishment...wasn't really a punishment at all...

"Go down." Fang Jian said with a wave of his sleeves.

The messenger was stunned for a long time before he suddenly came to his senses. Finally, he realized that Fang Jian might be willing to forgive him, so he quickly bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu."

After the messenger left, Fang Jian said to the divine general outside the door, "Tell the general who captured and killed to come to Hongde Hall."

After returning to Xitian Mansion, the killer General Luo Tao went straight to his own courtyard and stayed indoors. It seemed that he had suffered a great blow.

But the incident had already happened, and someone had to be seen, so Fang Jian ordered the general to be captured and killed and brought to Hongde Hall to see him.

Not long after, General Zhuosha entered the Hongde Hall hesitantly, looking left and right with his head lowered. He came before Fang Jian and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord Shangshu."

"Are you a thief?" Fang Jian asked with an unhappy look on his face as he watched the actions of catching and killing the general.

General Zhuosha lowered his head and said, "Please forgive me, Lord Shangshu. I... I... I am too ashamed to face you."

"Old Luo," General Fatan said from the side, "it's not a big deal. You're a real man, why are you so shy? Those five witches weren't shy at all."

As soon as these words came out, General Zhuosha retorted, "They are demons, they can be shameless. I am an immortal official in the Heavenly Court!"

"Alright." Fang Jian calmly pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down. You said yourself that you are a Celestial Official. Celestial Officials should act like Celestial Officials. Don't act coyly!"

General Zhuosha was startled when he heard this, and after a while he bowed respectfully and said, "Yes."

After the general was seated, Fang Jian said slowly, "Bring the Five Begonia Immortals to the palace!"

...

Hu Miaoniang, Zuo Rou, Sha Ling'er, Su Mengxian and Luan Xiaoxing were brought to Hongde Palace by ten divine generals. They were still wearing the blood-stained and tattered clothes they had found in the Begonia Forest.

However, their injuries have been healed with the help of the healing elixir from Xitian Mansion. Of course, Hu Miaoniang's arms will definitely not return to her body.

“Kneel down!”

When the five women stood in the hall and looked at Fang Jian, the ten generals behind them immediately hit the knees of the five women with the magic weapons in their hands.

There was a series of "thump" sounds, and the five women tied up with the demon-binding ropes instantly fell to their knees.

Sha Ling'er raised her head, her eyes first swept across the hall, and then quickly fell on the person who was trying to catch and kill the general.

Then, Sha Ling'er said to General Zhuosha with a look of pity on her face, "General Zhuosha, I'm sorry. So much has happened between us these past few days, and I... I've fallen in love with you."

Bang

Upon hearing this, the General Zhuosha slammed his palm on the table and shouted at Sha Linger, "Shut up!"

Sha Ling'er was startled, but she continued to talk: "General Zhusha, I didn't lie to you, I really like you."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Sha Ling'er's eyes, and she looked at the General Zhuosha with affection.

The General was extremely angry, but without Fang Jian's order, he didn't dare to attack Sha Ling'er directly, so he just turned his head to the side.

Sha Linger's words were undoubtedly used to protect herself. She didn't want to die. Once a monster became an immortal, how many of them would give it up easily?

At this moment, Fang Jian spoke up, "Do you think that capturing and killing the general can save you at this point?"

Hearing this, Zuo Rou, who was beside Sha Ling'er, looked at Fang Jian and said softly, "Master Hongqing..."

Fang Jian's eyes turned slightly cold as he looked at Zuo Rou and asked, "Did this god ask you to speak?"

'Bang'

A knife handle from behind hit Zuo Rou's back hard, and Zuo Rou immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Fang Jian looked at the five women and said indifferently, "Your actions have seriously blasphemed the majesty of heaven. You are doomed to die. Even the shattering of your souls is the least of your worries!"

As Fang Jian finished speaking, the expressions of the five women suddenly changed, and then they all looked dejected.

At this time, Fang Jian asked again: "But, should we destroy your body and soul, and scatter them? Or should we kill all of you in your body and soul, and leave your soul to reincarnate?"

Fang Jian looked at the five women and said, "It depends on your choice."

"If you don't want your soul and body to be annihilated and you to never be reborn," Fang Jian held the alchemy pen in his hand and tapped the heads of the five women one by one. Then he said, "You must atone for your actions."

Hearing this, the five women, who had been in despair, suddenly felt a surge of hope. Hu Miao Niang asked, "Master Hong Qing, please tell us how we can atone for our sins?"

Fang Jian asked, "Who ordered you to kidnap and kill the general, do all those things, and spread the spiritual light?"

Hearing this, Hu Miaoniang gritted her teeth and said, "Replying to Master Hongqing, it's Elder Kong Xiu from the Bukong Temple."

"He is no longer the elder of Bukong Temple, but the Buddhist monk Kongxiu." Fang Jian said, "I want the five of you to record another spiritual light image, and explain clearly how the monk Kongxiu instructed you to do these things. You must use your memory as evidence, and sincerely repent in the spiritual light image at the end. Then, I will forgive your sin of destroying gods and allow your souls to be reincarnated after death. Are you willing?"

Hearing this, how could Hu Miaoniang and the other four not be unwilling? They all bowed and said, "We are willing!"
