"Stand up." Emperor Junsheng opened his mouth and spoke slowly.

Fang Jian immediately bowed again and said, "Your servant Fang Jian, I pay my respects to the Great Emperor Taiyi Qingxiao Demon Emperor."

Fang Jian then stood up straight, with no intention of going to pay his respects to the demon master Kunpeng again.

Because the Heavenly Court had not yet officially issued an edict to confer the title on the Demon Master Kunpeng, Fang Jian did not need to perform the rituals of a subject towards Kunpeng.

But Kunpeng didn't care. As a Daluo Jinxian, if he got angry with Fang Jian over such a small matter, then all his cultivation would be wasted.

However, even though I don't get angry, I still have to deal with it.

So when Fang Jian just stood up, Kunpeng asked, "How come Lord Hongqing has time to come to my Demon Court?"

At this point, Kunpeng continued, "Remember when my Demon Court envoy went to summon him last time, Lord Hongqing was not so easy to talk to."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Master, Fang Jian is a fourth-rank immortal official of the Heavenly Court. He holds the Purple Star Mysterious Talisman and governs the Heavenly Principles and Jade Laws. He is not to be proclaimed to the outside world."

This translates to: I, Fang Jian, am a legitimate fourth-rank immortal official in the Heavenly Court, and I also hold the power over the Purple Star Mysterious Talisman and the Heavenly Principle Jade Law. Who are you to summon me? You have no right to know, right?

Kunpeng was not angry when he heard this. He just smiled faintly and asked, "Then why did Lord Hongqing come to my Demon Court today?"

Fang Jian immediately bowed to Di Jun and said, "Your Majesty, I have come to request a few men."

"Oh?" Di Jun said with a smile, "Who do I have here? Is it worth Fang Jian coming here in person to ask for it?"

After saying this, Di Jun even made a joke: "Could it be that Master Hongqing fell in love with a certain female immortal from my Demon Court at first sight, and therefore came to ask me for it?"

Fang Jian didn't respond to Di Jun's joke at all. He simply bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor, the Heavenly Law stipulates that immortal officials are not allowed to marry. As a Heavenly Judge, how dare I break the law?"

"Puchi." Just as Fang Jian finished saying this, a light laugh was heard in the hall.

Fang Jian just frowned and ignored it, but the others in the hall looked in the direction of the laughter.

It turned out to be Tang Yu. After Tang Yu laughed, she immediately realized that she had made a mistake, so she stuck out her tongue and immediately apologized to Emperor Jun: "I have been disrespectful in front of the palace. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Di Jun just glanced at Tang Yu calmly, then said, "Get off."

Tang Yu bowed respectfully and said, "I obey the order." Then he walked to the bottom of Di Jun and stood respectfully.

At this time, Di Jun turned to Fang Jian and asked, "Who does Master Hongqing want?"

Fang Jian produced the spiritual image of King Wuluo's memories and said, "Seven demon lords from Luanling Province—Wuluo, Chayi, Longzhen, Heiyou, and Linx—rebelled and conspired to kill Master Jianyang, the Second-Rank Immortal Official of the Heavenly Court and the Head of the Heavenly Court. Here is evidence of King Wuluo's soul and memories. Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor, please review it."

Di Junwen's expression turned serious, and then he said, "Present it."

Then Tang Yu immediately walked down the steps, came to Fang Jian, took over the spiritual light, and then presented it to Di Jun.

The spiritual light slowly rose up and soon spread out over the hall. Then, the whole process of King Wuluo and his seven men intercepting and killing Master Jianyang was displayed in front of everyone in the hall.

After reading it, Di Jun's eyes slightly stern, and the spiritual light immediately retracted and flew back to Fang Jian.

Then Di Jun said, "Master Hongqing, don't worry. The six people except Wuluo have been apprehended and are currently being held in the Abyss Realm. Master Hongqing can bring them back at any time."

Guqi

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately bowed in thanks and said, "Your Highness, I thank the Great Emperor Taiyi Qingxiao Demon."

Di Jun nodded slightly, then changed the subject and said, "Master Hongqing, someone has accused you of indiscriminately slaughtering innocent demon cultivators in Luanlingzhou. Is this true?"

Fang Jian immediately shook his head and said, "Replying to the Demon Emperor, this is absolutely not the case."

"What about the matter of more than 100,000 demon cultivators in Juhu Gorge?" Demon Master Kunpeng questioned Fang Jian at this moment.

Fang Jian looked at the demon master Kunpeng and said, "The demons in Juhu Gorge refused to obey the Heaven's authority and assisted me in my capture of King Wuluo. After I captured King Wuluo, they hid in Juhu Gorge and tried to resist. I received the order from the Four Great Emperors to take charge of the Northern

The laws of the Julu Continent will never allow such blatant defiance of the Heavenly Court, so the demons of Juhu Gorge will be destroyed with thunder and fire."

Even though Fang Jian had very legitimate reasons, everyone in the hall except Di Jun and Kun Peng felt uncomfortable.

The reason is very simple. The people who were killed were your own people. Even though you normally wouldn't look at them straight in the eye, you feel uncomfortable seeing them being killed by Fang Jian.

At this time, Ying Zhao, one of the twelve demon gods and auspicious beast, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask the Lord Hongqing."

Di Jun nodded and said, "Yes."

Ying Zhao received permission and immediately asked Fang Jian, "Lord Hongqing, how did you know they were going to enter the cave to resist? What if they just wanted to escape? Moreover, among those demon cultivators, there are many underage demons who have just entered the Qi training realm and haven't even fully awakened their spiritual intelligence. You just destroyed them all with thunder and fire. Such a cruel method, not even a true demon of the outer path would do it, right?"

Fang Jian looked at Ying Zhao and asked, "May I ask who this fellow Taoist is?"

Ying Zhao bowed and said, "I am the leader of the Twelve Demon Gods, Ying Zhao."

"So it's the Yingzhao Demon God." Fang Jian bowed and said, "Yingzhao Demon God always looks at things from the perspective of someone who has seen the event in hindsight. You must know that everything has a cause and effect. May I ask Yingzhao Demon God, why did I go to Luanlingzhou?"
