Taiyuan Daozu was also silent. She knew that Fang Jian’s current situation was all due to his own efforts, but this kind of thing could not be explained. The more you explained, the more people would think that this was the truth.

Daozu Taiyuan finally let go of Fang Jian. Fang Jian quickly took the opportunity to leave Taiyuan Daozu's arms and sat up, but saw Taiyuan Daozu's eyes full of guilt as he said, "Jian'er, I'm sorry. I really want to recognize you."

Seeing the renowned Taiyuan Daozu being so cautious in front of him, Fang Jian's heart softened, and he said in a slightly softer tone, "Mother, I don't blame you."

After saying this, Fang Jian stood up and knelt before Taiyuan Daozu, saying, "Mother, as the Emperor of Heaven, I must prioritize the Great Celestial Venerable's trust and the sentient beings of the Three Realms. I cannot serve you day and night. Please forgive me."

After the words fell, Fang Jian kowtowed three times to Tai Yuan Daozu again. Tai Yuan Daozu quickly bent down to help Fang Jian up, then looked at him and smiled, "Mother knew that Jian'er couldn't stay here with me anymore. Mother, I will send you back to Daluo Heaven right now."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, mother. I bid you farewell."

Then Taiyuan Daozu raised his hand, but immediately put it down again, and began to make a seal with his hands. However, when the seal was about to be completed, Taiyuan Daozu untied the seal and made it again. He repeated this for more than ten times, but his eyes were always fixed on Fang Jian.

"Mother?" Fang Jian called out. As the Taoist Patriarch, sending him back to Daluo Heaven should be accomplished with just a wave of his hand.

Daozu Taiyuan pursed her lips lightly, then smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I'll take you back right away."

After saying this, Daozu Taiyuan ended the time-delaying seal-making movements, raised his sleeve and flicked it lightly, and then a mysterious light covered Fang Jian's body, instantly sending him back to the present Daluo Heaven, the Taisu Palace Dongzhen Hall.

Duanjie Mountain, Hongqing Palace, and Qingqiong Hall in the northern continent of Juluzhou.

At this time, the Qingqiong Palace was in great chaos. Hong Yuanhua, Lu Fengxian and other immortal officials from the Divine Palace stood in front of the door of the Qingqiong Palace and looked at each other. In the hall in front of them, there was chaos and chairs and tables were collapsed.

I saw a handsome young man running desperately around the pillars in the hall, and behind him was Cen Biqing, the current "God Lord" of the Northern Julu Continent Divine Palace.

Cen Biqing's face was grim, her eyes were filled with anger and disappointment, and beneath her cold countenance was hidden a raging rage.

I saw Cen Biqing holding an iron whip and chasing the young man in front of him and beating him fiercely. The young man was Cen Biqing's apprentice Xu Hongyuan.

In the blink of an eye, Cen Biqing caught up with Xu Hongyuan again, raised his hand and hit Xu Hongyuan on the back with an iron whip. Xu Hongyuan screamed and jumped more than ten feet high on the spot.

"Stop right there, you beast!" Cen Biqing cursed angrily.

Xu Hongyuan didn't dare to stop. He saw the opportunity and ran towards the palace door, trying to escape from Qingqiong Palace.

But Hong Yuanhua and Lu Fengxian, who had been guarding here under Cen Biqing's orders, saw Xu Hongyuan rushing over and quickly stopped him.

Xu Hongyuan saw Cen Biqing rushing towards him from behind, and he quickly pleaded with Hong Yuanhua and Lu Fengxian, "Brothers, please let me out. I'll treat you to a drink later."

Lu Fengxian smiled and said, "We dare not disobey the decree of Lord Qing. It's okay, little brother. It's just a beating. Just bear with it."

"That's easy to say." Xu Hongyuan said as he tried to escape to the side, but suddenly found that both his arms had been grabbed by Hong Yuanhua and Lu Fengxian. "Fuck, big brothers, let go."

Hong Yuanhua smiled and said, "I dare not neglect the Divine Lord's orders."

At this time, Cen Biqing had already walked forward and looked at the captured Xu Hongyuan, and shouted angrily: "Hold him down!"

Hong Yuanhua and Lu Fengxian immediately obeyed the order and pinned Xu Hongyuan to the ground. At this time, Cen Biqing said to the three generals of the Mountain Patrol, Mountain Guard, and Mountain Division of the Mountain God Palace nearby: "Hold down his legs."

The three generals also took orders and stepped forward, pinning Xu Hongyuan's frantically struggling legs to the ground.

Then Cen Biqing wielded the iron whip in his hand and hit Xu Hongyuan's buttocks mercilessly like raindrops, making Xu Hongyuan howl like a ghost.

"I'll show you! I'll show you those things!"

"I have taught you for so many years, and all I have done is teach you a dog?"

"Asshole!"

Cen Biqing scolded and beat him, and Xu Hongyuan shouted, "Master, please stop beating me. I will never watch those things again."

But Cen Biqing didn't want to listen to his promises at all. The iron whip in her hand became heavier and heavier, and soon the clothes on Xu Hongyuan's buttocks were soaked with blood.

Hong Yuanhua, who saw this scene, quickly advised: "God, I believe that Fellow Daoist Xu has already realized his mistake. Just teach him a lesson."

Lu Fengxian also said: "Yes, Lord God, please stop fighting. Fellow Daoist Xu is bleeding."

The patrol generals and others around him also began to persuade Cen Biqing, and Cen Biqing finally stopped and asked Xu Hongyuan, "Tell me, where did you get all those things?"

Xu Hongyuan groaned and said, "It was bought from Xiangxiang Pavilion in Yaochi Tianjie. Master, I was wrong. I will never look at those things again."

Upon hearing this, Cen Biqing threw away the iron whip in his hand and immediately flew out of Qingqiong Palace. Then he climbed up into the sky and headed towards Yaochi Tianjie in anger.

Hong Yuanhua and others stared blankly at Cen Biqing who had gone to heaven. They were all stunned and looked at each other in confusion.

Xu Hongyuan got up from the ground, holding his buttocks, and asked hurriedly, "Where is Master?"

Lu Fengxian said, "It seems like he went to heaven."

Xu Hongyuan's face changed and he said, "Oh no! My master has a bad temper. Something must be wrong. Let's go to Yaochi Tianjie."

When Lu Fengxian heard this, his expression immediately became serious. He exchanged a glance with Hong Yuanhua, then grabbed Xu Hongyuan's arm and said, "Let's go."

Afterwards, Lu Fengxian and Xu Hongyuan also rode on the clouds and went straight into the sky.
