When everyone heard the name Hong Yuanhua, their faces suddenly darkened.

"This traitor!" Master Wuxiang cursed in his heart. Seeing the demon lords looking at him, he could only respond with a helpless look.

Fang Jian held the Thai Emperor's Qi Brick in his hand and looked at Master Lingxu who was standing beside him.

Master Lingxu was calm and composed. He said to the boy, "Since you are a general of the Mountain God's Mansion, please come in."

After a while, Hong Yuanhua stepped into the Shenyun Palace. He ignored the demon lords around him and bowed to Fang Jian, who was at the head of the group. He said, "I am Hong Yuanhua, your subordinate. I have been ordered to come here."

"Very good." Fang Jian nodded towards Hong Yuanhua, then spoke to the crowd, "Although I am a Celestial Official, I hold the power over Broken Boundary Mountain. Countless creatures on Broken Boundary Mountain are under my rule. Now, even cultivators from Xihua Province, who grew up on this land, have come to serve in my Divine Palace. So, can you join the Xihua Province Council?"

When King Chongshou saw Hong Yuanhua standing in the hall, he glanced at Master Wuxiang with his cold eyes, then snorted softly, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Ever since Hong Yuanhua came to Chaohe Cave to deliver the Mountain God's Order last time, he has been very dissatisfied. Well, in the end, your Mingquan Mountain Demon Mansion was fine, but our four major demon mansions were suppressed by the Taisu Tongming Talisman!

If he hadn't been afraid of the gold brick in Fang Jian's hand, the King would have wanted to kill Hong Yuanhua on the spot.

Hearing Fang Jian's question, Master Lingxu said calmly, "I still need to ask everyone's opinion on this."

"Oh?" Fang Jian's gaze swept across the hall, finally landing on Fairy Qianyin. "What are everyone's opinions? Do you agree that I should join the Xihua State Council?"

After saying that, Fang Jian deliberately raised the Thai King's Brick in his hand, and the implication was very obvious.

Moreover, Fang Jian was staring at Fairy Qianyin when he spoke, which could be said to be very specific.

Fairy Qianyin immediately shouted angrily, "Lord of the Broken Boundary Mountain, this is a shameful threat!"

Fang Jian looked at her, his expression unchanged as he said, "Shameful threats? You're wrong! I, Yu Youqing, the Master of the Siming Court of the Taixuan Division, was ambushed by demons in Xihua Province. Ultimately, my body perished, and only my spirit escaped back to Heaven. My birth register was also snatched away by the demons! If it had been a million years ago, Heaven would have already destroyed the demon world in Xihua Province. How could you, like me, be so scheming and running around in circles here!?"

"The Heavenly Court has just established the Xihua Province Protectorate, and you're setting up a Xihua Province Council? Are you playing house? That's right, I'm here to target this council. If you're not satisfied, then kill me now, or hand over the Four-Eyed Demon King and the birth register!"

"As long as you hand over the Four-Eyed Demon King and the birth register, the 300,000 heavenly soldiers and generals will immediately roll up their banners and disarm and return to heaven. Who would want to beat around the bush with you?"

Fang Jian said this, looking at the demon lords present with a mocking look, "I know what you are planning. You need to understand that the reason you can come up with these little ideas is because the Heavenly Court is willing and patient to reason with you."

After Fang Jian finished speaking, he slapped the Thai Emperor's Qi Brick into his palm and said, "As the God of Broken Boundary Mountain, and with the demon cultivators of Xihua Province serving under me, can I join the Xihua Province Council? I have three breaths to express my opinion!"

"I agree!" Master Lingxu was the first to nod.

The demon lords below were slightly startled, but then they quickly reacted and nodded in unison, "Agree!"

Led by Master Lingxu, the demon lords all agreed to Fang Jian joining the Xihuazhou Council. However, they did not stop there. Instead, King Liejiao took the lead and said, "Now that the Xihuazhou Council has been established, we must elect a Palace Master. I suggest that Master Lingxu be appointed as the Palace Master, who will oversee all the regulations of the Council."

"Agree!" This time, the demon lords responded even faster and expressed their agreement again.

"Haha." Master Lingxu turned his head and smiled, looking at Fang Jian.

Fang Jian also nodded and said, "I agree that Master Lingxu will be the Palace Master."

"Okay, then let's start the first meeting of the Xihua State Council." Master Lingxu said hurriedly.

Fang Jian waved towards Hong Yuanhua who was standing below him and said, "General Patrol, stand behind me."

"Yes, sir!" Hong Yuanhua clasped his fists in agreement, then took a step forward, walked up to the platform in a few clangs, put one hand on his waist, stared ahead, and stood majestically behind Fang Jian.

At this moment, Master Lingxu only heard: "The Lord of Broken Boundary Mountain sent an imperial decree last time, saying that the veins of Broken Boundary Mountain should be sorted out. Is this true?"

Fang Jian nodded and said, "That's true. The early Dragon Head divination has already begun."

Master Lingxu nodded and said, "This is the problem. Broken Boundary Mountain is a massive mountain range that stretches across the entirety of Xihua Province. The flow of its veins is related to the very foundations of the billions of lives in Xihua Province. We must treat it with extreme caution."

Fang Jian nodded and said, "Master Lingxu is right. Broken Boundary Mountain doesn't belong to a single family or surname, nor does it belong to me, the Mountain God. It belongs to all the spirits of Xihua Province. This time, combing through the earth veins won't change their course. It's just to investigate the earth's mechanism, sort out the veins, and reshape the atmosphere of the sacred mountain."

At this moment, the Fierce Dragon King spoke up, "Shan Jun, that being said, given the current situation in Xihua Province, we can't rest easy. After all, this matter involves so many people, and the reason all the demon lords from the Nine Caves have gathered here is precisely because of this matter."

Fang Jian said seriously, "You are right. I, Fang Jian, am not an unreasonable person. I am also reasonable. I came to Shenyun Mountain to attend the meeting today to explain this matter to you all."

"It's hard to explain this kind of thing," said the Great King Chongshou. "We have no objection to the Mountain God's plan to sort out the veins of Broken Boundary Mountain. This is also his duty. But as Fellow Daoist Lie Jiao said, the situation in Xihua Province is very delicate right now, and we can't help but be worried."
