Fang Jian scanned it with his editor and was immediately shocked. These five immortals were all Golden Immortals. The leader was holding a green gourd in his hand. It was the light emitted by the green gourd that took away the formless demon.

The man put the formless demon into the gourd, then hung the gourd around his waist. He then glanced at Fang Jian, turned around, and prepared to leave with the other four.

"Stop!" Fang Jian shouted.

The five people stopped and turned to look at Fang Jian.

Fang Jian flew forward, extended his hand to the leader, and said, "Hand over the gourd."

The leader said, "The gourd is mine."

"Leave the external demon in the gourd to me." Fang Jian said calmly.

The leader smiled, bowed slightly, and asked Fang Jian, "May I ask which Heavenly General you are?"

Fang Jian said, "The God of Justice of the Heavenly Court, Fang Jian."

The five people's faces changed, but they quickly returned to normal. The leader bowed and said, "So you are Master Hongqing. Excuse me, I am Chen Ti, the abbot of Baiju Temple."

After Chen Ti introduced himself and saluted, the four people behind him also saluted and said, "Master Yang Jin of Longtai Temple."

"Fang Meng, the abbot of Yunhe Temple."

"Lu Qing, the master of Tuixia Temple."

"The abbot of Jiuhe Temple is Feng Ye."

Fang Jian also bowed in return, then said to Chen Ti, "I have come here specifically to slay this demon. I was about to destroy it with my heavenly thunder, but unexpectedly, you took it away. Please release it quickly so I can slay it."

Chen Ti glanced at the other four people, then shook his head and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to obey Master Hongqing's order."

Fang Jian's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, and his tone became less gentle: "Why?"

Chen Ti said, "That's right. This demon killed a master of our Zhenyang Dao League three years ago. The five of us have been ordered to hunt this demon for three years. This time, we are going to bring him back and hand him over to the leader of the alliance for disposal!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately asked perceptively, "Zhenyang Dao League? How come I've never heard of it before?"

Chen Ti smiled and said, "Master Hongqing is busy with official duties, so he hasn't heard of it. Our Zhenyang Taoist Alliance was established nine years ago, with Yangyan Temple as its main hub, and its headquarters located in Mount Luhu. Our leader is Master Yinyang, the abbot of Yangyan Temple. Currently, the Zhenyang Taoist Alliance has over sixty affiliated Taoist temples. Besides our leader, Master Yinyang, who is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, we also have twenty-seven Golden Immortals, forty-three Taiyi Xuanxians, and over a hundred Xuanxians and True Immortals. Our disciples are spread all over Dongsheng Shenzhou."

When Fang Jian heard this, his expression became slightly serious. He immediately thought that the Taoist sect had developed such a huge force without anyone noticing.

Although Buddhism left a large vacuum of believers after withdrawing from Dongsheng Shenzhou, Taoism developed too rapidly in just ten years.

However, Fang Jian cannot interfere in such matters without authorization and must report to the Queen Mother of the West.

So he silently memorized the True Yang Dao League in his heart, then looked at Chen Ti and the other two and said, "I don't care if this Wu Xiang Demon killed anyone from your Dao League, but now you must release it and let me kill it."

Chen Ti frowned upon hearing this and said, "Master Hongqing, even if we capture this demon and take it back, it will inevitably die. Why are you so persistent?"

Fang Jian's figure, standing in the air, slowly floated backwards. Then, Fang Jian said, "I'll say it again. You'd better let it out and let me kill it."

At this time, Fang Meng, the head of Yunhe Monastery, said, "Master Hongqing, it doesn't matter who kills this demon. Why don't you just give us five a favor?"

Tuixia Monastery Master Lu Qing also bowed and said, "Please help us, Master Hongqing, so that we can return and report to our fellow Taoists in the Dao League."

Fang Jian looked at the five people and said, "The affairs of your Dao League have nothing to do with me. This god is determined to annihilate this demon. None of you dare to interfere. I will say this one last time: release the Wuxiang Demon!"

"Hmm?" Chen Ti and the other four immediately became dissatisfied when they saw that Fang Jian was so difficult to convince.

The five people frowned, and the protective fairy light around them began to become bright and dazzling.

Fang Jian looked at the five people's reactions and sneered, "It seems that you want to go against me? Then you must think clearly. Going against me is going against Heaven, going against Heaven..."

Fang Jian said sternly, "But it's a capital crime!"

Chen Ti laughed heartily, looking at Fang Jian and saying, "Master Hongqing is wrong. Exorcising demons is also the duty of disciples of our Dao sect, and it is not exclusive to the Heavenly Court. Could it be that our exorcism has also violated the Heavenly Law?"

As Chen Ti finished speaking, a cold light flashed in Fang Jian's eyes.

Then, a golden light fell from the top of his head and directly illuminated Chen Ti. It was the Dingyuan golden light of the Dingyuan Pearl. Fang Jian had not taken him back just now, but had been hiding in the clouds.

Dingyuan golden light fell, and Chen Ti's body and soul were directly fixed. The next moment, the Fractal God-Destroying Pestle suddenly flew out from between Fang Jian's eyebrows, and with a "bang", it broke the Golden Immortal-level protective golden light around Chen Ti and directly smashed his body.

"Swish" followed by a flash of the Golden Sun Demon-Slaying Sword, and Chen Ti's head flew up. Then Fang Jian raised his hand and grabbed Chen Ti's head. Fang Jian held it in his right hand, and the green gourd on his waist was held in his left hand.

Chen Ti's body was shattered, but his spirit and soul were still illuminated by the Dingyuan golden light and unable to escape. At this moment, he and the other four people were looking at Fang Jian in astonishment.

"I said you violated the Heavenly Law, and you violated the Heavenly Law. Now, I sentence you to destruction, both soul and body." Fang Jian said lightly.

Then he had a thought, and the Fractal God-Destroying Pestle was instantly shot out, instantly destroying Chen Ti's soul in the Dingyuan golden light.

A Taoist Golden Immortal died just like that!
