Although King Wuluo and others had been executed, Fang Jian did not relax.

"Although the seven Wuluo have been executed, we still have no clue about the person behind the scenes." Fang Jian said to Yan Da, the Left Minister of the Jade Palace, when he was sending him back to the Heavenly Palace.

Upon hearing this, Yan Da pondered for a moment and said, "Has Master Hongqing ever considered that the person behind this is related to Dingqing Prefecture?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately turned to Yan Da and said, "Sir, are you talking about Patriarch Hongyun?"

"Yes." Yan Da nodded and said, "Old Ancestor Hongyun has captured the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. Although he is very powerful, he is far from enough to fight against the entire Heavenly Court with his own strength."

Fang Jian said, "He wants to use this to pit the demon race against the Heavenly Court, and then share the pressure from him?"

"That's right." Yan Da nodded and said, "It's very likely."

When Fang Jian heard what Yan Da said, he felt that it made a lot of sense. If the Demon Court could turn against the Heavenly Court, the trouble it would bring to the Heavenly Court would be much greater than what Hong Yun alone could bring.

Thinking of this, Fang Jian immediately had an idea and knew which direction to start from next.

"Thank you for the reminder, sir." Fang Jian bowed to Yan Da.

Yan Da helped Fang Jian up with a smile, then said, "I'm just guessing. I'm afraid Master Hongqing will have to find out the truth himself."

Fang Jian nodded and said, "The Four Great Emperors sent me to Northern Julu Continent precisely for this matter, and this is also my duty."

"Okay, then I wish Master Hongqing to find out the culprit behind this as soon as possible and give Master Jianyang justice." Yan Da said with a bow.

Fang Jian nodded solemnly and said, "That's how it should be!"

After Fang Jian returned to the Compassionate Court in the Great Compassion Valley, he discovered that Lou Cangye and several immortals from the Luyan Cave on the south slope of the mountain were standing in the small courtyard in front of the main hall.

"Lord God." Lou Cangye came forward when he saw Fang Jian.

The Luyan Cave Xuanxians also hurried forward and bowed from a distance, saying, "Greetings to Lord Hongqing."

Fang Jian raised his hand slightly and said, "No need to be so polite, fellow Taoists. What can I do for you?"

Yan He stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, Hongqing Divine Lord, yesterday, while we were cleaning out a cave belonging to the Lynx Demon Lord, we discovered a magic seal."

"Oh?" Fang Jian's eyes flashed when he heard that, and he asked, "What seal?"

Yan He and the others exchanged a glance, then said to Fang Jian, "Lord God, the seal has fallen on a piece of purple gold. Imprisoned by the Lynx Demon Lord's magical power, we cannot move it. However, we dare not break it by force, fearing that it may contain some secrets from the Lynx Demon King's life that may help Lord God find the person behind this. Therefore, we have come to report this to Lord God first."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian glanced at Yan He and the others, then said calmly, "If that's the case, I'll go and take a look. You lead the way."

"Yes." Everyone immediately bowed in response.

At this time, Lou Cangye stepped forward and called out, "God."

Fang Jian looked at Lou Cangye and saw that his eyes were full of vigilance, and he obviously did not trust Yan He and others.

Fang Jian smiled faintly and said to Lou Cangye, "Just guard this place and don't worry about me."

Lou Cangye looked at Fang Jian's expression, thought for a moment, and swallowed his words. He then bowed and said, "Yes, Lord."

...

Chaos in Lingzhou, Fenggouyuan.

Gu Xin

Five beams of fairy light came from far away at an extremely fast speed and quickly flew over Fenggouyuan.

When the immortal light dissipated, the figures of Fang Jian, Yan He and three others suddenly appeared in the sky above Fenggouyuan.

"Lord Hongqing is right here." Yan He pointed at Fenggouyuan below and said to Fang Jian.

Fang Jian looked down at Fenggouyuan and saw a huge valley plain below him. Surrounding this plain were mountains, with rushing rivers and continuous mountain ranges.

"This plain is definitely not naturally formed." Fang Jian's eyes fixed and he pointed at Fenggouyuan below.

Yan He behind him said, "This place is called Fenggouyuan. It was formed a million years ago. Strong winds often appear here, but they mainly wreak havoc on this plain and never extend beyond it. Over time, the soil and rocks on this plain have been washed by the strong winds, becoming extremely hard and solid, hence the name 'Fenggouyuan'."

"What caused the strong wind?" Fang Jian asked.

Yan He was startled when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "This...we don't know."

Fang Jian frowned slightly. Gangfeng was not an ordinary wind. This wind was condensed from Gangqi. It was extremely sharp and fierce. Even Xuanxian had to avoid it when he saw it.

In this small Fenggouyuan, strong winds are generated from time to time. This is no small matter.

"Where is the cave?" Fang Jian asked again.

Yan He immediately pointed to a straight cliff on the left edge of Fenggouyuan below and said, "It's right below that mountain."

"Let's go in and take a look." After Fang Jian said that, his figure turned into a ray of fairy light and flew down.

Upon seeing this, Yan He and the others followed Fang Jian and transformed into immortal light, flying towards the cave.

After more than ten breaths, Fang Jian flew into the cave first. Without saying a word, he immediately summoned the Dingyuan Pearl and the Taiyi Golden Light Sword. The Dingyuan Pearl emitted a golden light and flew above Fang Jian's head, while the Taiyi Golden Light Sword was held in Fang Jian's hand.

Just three or four breaths after Fang Jian sacrificed his magic weapon, Yan He and others also flew behind Fang Jian.

Fang Jian glanced at them, then turned and looked inside the cave.

This cave is very deep, but it is not damp or dark inside at all. Instead, it is very dry. The walls of the cave are inlaid with pearls. These pearls emit bright white light, illuminating the entire cave.

Fang Jian and his group went straight to the depths of the cave. It must be said that this cave was very deep. It took Fang Jian and his four companions a cup of tea before they arrived at a stone chamber in the deepest part of the cave.

"My Lord God, it's right there." Yan He pointed to a glowing stone niche in the stone chamber and said.

Fang Jian immediately stepped into the stone chamber and came to the stone niche to look inside.

There was indeed a square piece of purple gold placed in the stone niche, and the purple gold was emitting rays of blue-gold divine light.

And above the purple gold, there stood a magic seal quietly. This magic seal was imprisoned by an extremely powerful magic power, and the magic power that imprisoned the magic seal was exactly the magic power of Taiyi Xuanxian Taoism.

Fang Jian raised his hand and activated the "Innate Righteous Law Mixed Thunder Scroll". Lightning flashed on his right hand, and more powerful magic power gathered in Fang Jian's hand.

When Fang Jian pressed his right hand on the magic power of the binding seal, the entire stone chamber suddenly trembled violently, and then Fang Jian heard a few screams from behind him.

Fang Jian turned his head and saw that Yan He and the other three were directly knocked out of the stone chamber by an extremely powerful magic force.

The stone door of the stone chamber fell down with a loud bang, and strange divine runes appeared on the stone door. The next moment, identical divine runes appeared on all the stone walls above, below, left and right in the stone chamber.

These talismans burst out with brilliant light, and their power communicated and connected with each other, sealing the entire stone chamber in just a moment!
