It was dawn and Dong Jin was still asleep. Dong Yong held the Seventh Fairy's hand tightly, his eyes full of reluctance.

"It's time for me to go." The Seventh Fairy stroked Dong Yong's cheek, tears in her mouth, and spoke in a very gentle tone.

Dong Yong looked at the Seventh Fairy infatuatedly and murmured, "Madam, now that you are gone, will my wife and I be separated forever?"

The Seventh Fairy did not answer, but said with great sorrow, "Take good care of father and Jin'er."

After saying this, the Seventh Fairy gently pushed Dong Yong's hands away, then turned around, a ray of light rose from under her feet, and in an instant she flew up into the sky and disappeared.

Dong Yong looked at the sky where the Seven Fairies left, where a white cloud stopped, but he could no longer see the figure of his beloved wife.

Dong Yong took two steps back weakly, then his legs went limp and he collapsed on the threshold.

...

Fang Jian stood on the white clouds, his eyes fixed on the Seven Fairies with red eyes, and said, "Let's go to the Southern Heaven Palace first, and then I'll take you back to the Heavenly Palace."

"Yes." The Seventh Fairy calmed down and said respectfully to Fang Jian.

Afterwards, Fang Jian brought the seven fairies on a cloud to the Tianjun Palace of the Southern Continent. When the Southern Tianjun Palace learned that the Taoist Master Fang Jian of Hongqing had arrived, the Generals who Destroyed Altars, the Generals who Destroyed Temples, the Envoys who Transferred Letters, as well as various divine generals and scribes all came out to greet him in a grand manner. The scene was extremely grand.

But facing the warm welcome from the gods of Nantianfu, Fang Jian simply said to them calmly, "I want to see Xuanling Tianjun."

Can you meet the Heavenly Sovereign of a large continent whenever you want? For Fang Jian, yes!

Inside the Nantian Mansion's main hall, Fang Jian bowed to the Xuanling Heavenly Monarch and said, "This subordinate pays homage to the Xuanling Heavenly Monarch."

Xuan Ling Tianjun smiled faintly, raised his hand and said, "Master Hong Qing, there is no need to be so polite."

Fang Jian stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am investigating the matter of the gods of Chaohu Dragon Palace violating the Heavenly Law. A Heavenly General from the Southern Heavenly Palace is also implicated. Please summon this Heavenly General."

Xuanling Tianjun asked, "Master Hongqing is talking about capturing and killing General Wei Heng, right?"

"That's right." Fang Jian nodded.

Xuanling Tianjun said, "The general Wei Heng who was captured and killed recommended you privately. The Minister of the Southern Heaven Prefecture, Bai Zhen, neglected his duties and neglected his personnel, causing the sinful dragons in Chaohu to wreak havoc on the people. They have been apprehended by this Tianjun. Zhenren Hongqing can take these two away directly."

Fang Jian was a little surprised when he heard this. This Xuan Ling Tianjun was decisive, but it was also good this way, as it saved him a lot of trouble.

Fang Jian then clasped his fists and said, "Since that's the case, I would like to thank you, Lord. I also ask you to have these two escorted to the Ministry of Thunder."

Xuanling Tianjun smiled and said, "Master Hongqing, won't you sit for a while before leaving?"

Fang Jian also smiled and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Tian. I have plenty of time. I will come to Nantian Mansion often in the future."

The faces of the surrounding heavenly generals and divine generals suddenly fell. After looking at each other, they felt that the road ahead was bleak.

Xuanling Tianjun didn't say anything, but just nodded and called out: "Where are the generals who destroy the altar and the generals who destroy the temple?"

General Fatan and General Pomiao both stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your humble servants are here."

Xuanling Tianjun said, "I want you two to immediately go to the Black Prison of Tianjun Mansion and bring out Bai Zhen and Wei Heng. Take them to the Ministry of Thunder to be tried for their crimes."

"Obey the order of the law!" The two generals from the altar and the ruined temple saluted, then turned and left.

At this time, Xuanling Tianjun raised his hand and waved. Two beams of fairy jade light flew in front of Fang Jian. Xuanling Tianjun said, "These are the fairy official jade discs of the two of you. Please take them with you, Master Hongqing."

Fang Jian put away the Immortal Official Jade Disc and bowed again, saying, "Yes, thank you, Lord Tianjun."

Xuan Ling Tianjun nodded slightly, then glanced at the Seven Fairies who had been silent and motionless behind Fang Jian, and nodded slightly to the latter.

Afterwards, Fang Jian bid farewell to Xuanling Tianjun, and left Nantianfu with the two generals, Destroying Altars and Destroying Temples, and returned to Heaven.

...

But when Fang Jian just stepped into the South Heaven Gate, he saw a tall and majestic super-grade immortal official with the level of Golden Immortal standing in front of him, wearing a crimson immortal robe.

When the immortal official saw Fang Jian, he immediately stepped forward and called out, "Master Hongqing."

Fang Jian was slightly startled, then stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your humble servant greets the Supreme God. I wonder what instructions you have for me, the Supreme God?"

The first-rank immortal official smiled and said, "I am Yu Zhen, the Right Celestial Monarch of Lingxiao Palace."

The Right Lord of Lingxiao Palace is a super-grade immortal official who guards the Lingxiao Palace all year round. To put it simply, he is the door god of the Lingxiao Palace.

To put it more simply, he is the immortal official who guards the gate of Lingxiao Palace.

There is not only the Right Heavenly Lord in the Lingxiao Palace, but also the Left Heavenly Lord. The Left and Right Heavenly Lords are of the same rank as the Heavenly Lords of the Heavenly Lord Palaces of the Four Continents.

In other words, those who guard the Jade Emperor in heaven are all super-grade immortal officials with the level of Golden Immortals.

But right now the Jade Emperor is in seclusion to eliminate the calamity, so the only ones who can send Yu Zhen here to find him are the Four Imperial Gods.

"Your humble servant pays homage to the Right Heavenly Lord." Fang Jian bowed again.

Yu Zhen said with a smile, "Master Hongqing, I am here to await your arrival by order of the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole of the Central Sky."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian bowed respectfully and asked, "I wonder what orders the Great Emperor Ziwei has for you?"

Yu Zhen said, "The Great Emperor Ziwei has ordered you to bring the seven fairies to the Lingxiao Palace for an audience."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian turned around and looked at the Seventh Fairy in surprise. At this moment, there was also a hint of doubt in the Seventh Fairy's eyes.

Although he didn't know what the Purple Star Emperor was going to do, he still had to obey the orders of the Northern Pole Purple Star Emperor. So he said to the two generals of the Southern Heaven Palace, the Altar Destroyer and the Temple Destroyer, "First, take the criminal to the Taiyi Thunder Division of the Thunder Department to await trial."

Upon hearing this, the two generals, Detan and Pomiao, immediately bowed and said, "Yes."

Afterwards, the two of them took Master Bai Zhen and Wei Heng to the Ministry of Thunder first, while Fang Jian took the Seven Fairies and followed Yu Zhen all the way to the Lingxiao Palace.

An hour later, everyone arrived outside the majestic and vast Lingxiao Palace, which dominated the whole world.

On the imperial steps outside the main hall, Yu Zhen turned and said to Fang Jian, "Master Hongqing, please wait a moment."

"Yes." Fang Jian responded in a clear voice, and the Seventh Fairy didn't even dare to breathe.

Yu Zhen then stepped into the Lingxiao Palace. Shortly after, a resounding voice like thunder rang out from within the hall: "The Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole of the Central Heaven has decreed that Fang Jian, the Minister of Taixuan Affairs and the Heavenly Court's Judicial God, and Xiaoqi, the former Fenglian Fairy of the Taiyuan Shangqing Palace, enter the palace for an audience."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately bowed and saluted, saying loudly, "Your Majesty, Fang Jian accepts your order."

The Seventh Fairy also hurriedly bowed and said, "Your humble servant, Xiaoqi, obeys your command."

After the two received the order, they saw two heavenly generals wearing golden armor with divine light, showing a hundred-foot-tall Dharma body, and with the cultivation level of Xuanxian slowly walking out of the Lingxiao Palace.

Fang Jian looked up and saw that he had met one of the two heavenly generals once before. It was Song Kuang, the left guard general in front of the Lingxiao Palace.

It seems that the other one is the right guard general in front of Lingxiao Palace.

But now is not the time to reminisce. After the two heavenly generals came out, they stood on the left and right outside the Lingxiao Palace, holding vermilion black banners.

Afterwards, Fang Jian and the Seven Fairies entered the Lingxiao Palace one after the other, with lowered brows and respectful posture.
