Luo Tao watched the sky boat, which was larger than half of the divine palace, slowly descending, and immediately led all the gods to bow and stand solemnly.

Although we don't know which god from heaven is coming, the one who can bring so many heavenly soldiers with him and make such a grand display must be an immortal official of super rank or above, perhaps a heavenly general.

The colorful clouds were heavy and turned into a high platform in the clouds to support the Tianzhou. Then the flags on the Tianzhou were fluttering in the wind. A long staircase formed by clouds extended from the side of the Tianzhou to the clouds below.

Then ten thousand heavenly soldiers formed into five teams, wearing golden armor and holding swords, spears and magic weapons, and walked down from the heavenly boat in an orderly manner.

Ten thousand heavenly soldiers formed a square formation in the sky outside the divine palace, with swords and spears like a forest, battle flags flying, and an extremely strong aura of awe and murderous intent.

The gods behind Luo Tao were all silent. Although these gods were recruited by Luo Tao in the Haolan Realm, they had already become Luo Tao's confidants over the years, and had seen the gods from heaven descend more than once.

However, this was the first time these gods and generals had seen such a grand ceremony. Especially when they saw that these 10,000 heavenly soldiers were all true immortals like them, they were extremely terrified.

This fear came from the fear of the heavenly soldiers, because Luo Tao told them that there were millions of heavenly soldiers in heaven.

It was hard for them to imagine what it meant to have millions of True Immortal Realm Heavenly Soldiers. Just the sight of these ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers was enough to terrify them.

As for the millions of heavenly soldiers in the True Immortal Realm, they could not imagine what kind of force could withstand such a powerful force.

Following the heavenly soldiers came Ke Mengqing, wearing armor and a divine robe. When Luo Tao saw this scene, he immediately understood that this cultivator in the Xuanxian realm was the commander of these ten thousand heavenly soldiers.

But Luo Tao soon discovered that the divine robe on Ke Mengqing was the robe of a fourth-rank immortal official, so he did not step forward to salute because he was a first-rank immortal official.

After Ke Mengqing stepped off the Sky Boat, he immediately came before Luo Tao, bowed, and said, "I am Ke Mengqing, the Guard of the Southern Heaven Gate Demon Suppression Army, and I pay my respects to the Divine Lord."

Luo Tao also bowed in return, and said with a smile: "Friend Ke, you have worked hard on your journey. I wonder what important matter has brought you to the Haolan Realm with your troops?"

Ke Mengqing smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. This time, I am not leading the descent to the mortal realm. Instead, it is the Grand Envoy of Tianshu Province who has come in person."

Hearing Ke Mengqing's words, Luo Tao was startled. Then he said with horror, "Great Master? Master Hongqing?"

Luo Tao had naturally received the imperial edict on the reform of the Heavenly Court a long time ago, so he knew that the current chief envoy of the Tianshu Province was none other than the Immortal Hongqing Fang Jian.

After the shock, Luo Tao hurriedly looked up at the Tianzhou, only to see Fang Jian wearing a Lingxiao jade-belted robe, with the Taiyi golden sword hanging from his waist. He walked out of the Tianzhou with Mei Xianzhang in an awe-inspiring and elegant manner, and was slowly walking down the cloud steps.

"Grand Master!" Luo Tao immediately stepped forward, came to Fang Jian and bowed, saying, "Luo Tao greets the Grand Master. Luo Tao has failed the Grand Master's trust and is truly ashamed!"

Luo Tao bowed to Fang Jian with shame on his face, but Fang Jian just smiled faintly, reached out to help Luo Tao up and said, "Let's go back to the Divine Palace. If you have any difficulties, please tell me."

"I obey the law." Luo Tao bowed again.

A cup of tea later, in the main hall of the Divine Palace, Fang Jian sat at the head of the table, Mei Xianzhang stood beside him, while Ke Mengqing, Luo Tao and the other gods from the Haolan Realm Divine Palace sat on both sides of the hall.

After a while, Fang Jian said to Luo Tao, "What is the current situation in the Haolan Realm? Please tell me in detail."

"Yes." Luo Tao nodded in agreement, and then reported to Fang Jian all the situations in the Haolan Realm since he took office.

After reporting, Luo Tao once again walked to the center of the hall to apologize, saying, "I have failed the Grand Master's trust. For decades since I took office as the Lord of the Haolan Realm, I have become a hindrance to a sect in the lower realm. I am incompetent, and I beg the Grand Master to punish me."

Fang Jian smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to blame yourself. What happened in the Haolan Realm is not something you can reverse on your own, and it's not your fault. Over the past few decades, you've been able to stick to your original intention and consistently select immortal officials, allowing the grace and power of my Heavenly Court to spread throughout the Haolan Realm. You've done a very good job."

After saying this, Fang Jian said to Luo Tao, "Don't act like a child. Please return to your seat."

Luo Tao was deeply moved when he heard this. He immediately bowed his head again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace in not blaming me." After paying his respects, he sat down again.

After Luo Tao sat down again, Fang Jian spoke, "I came to the Haolan Realm precisely for the Heavenly Master's Mansion. While calculating the mysteries of the heavens in the Great World of Yanfu, I discovered that there were unusual events in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, which were ominous, not auspicious. Therefore, I came here to completely resolve this hidden danger in the Heavenly Master's Mansion."

Hearing Fang Jian's words, Luo Tao's face suddenly lit up with excitement, and he quickly asked, "How will the Grand Master resolve the hidden dangers in the Heavenly Master's Mansion? I will do my utmost to assist the Grand Master in achieving his goal."

Fang Jian smiled calmly and said, "Don't be impatient, wait a little longer."

Luo Tao was slightly startled. Wait? Wait for what? Shouldn't things like this be dealt with quickly and decisively?

Fang Jian naturally knew that he should resolve the situation with drastic measures, but before doing so, he was waiting for a person, or rather a thing, something that would allow him to clearly see the anomaly behind the Tianshi Mansion.

That was the 'Hongqing Divine Talisman' that he left to Liu Zhiyan, a disciple of Tianshi Mansion, when he left Haolan Realm.

Thinking of this, Fang Jian said to Mei Xianzhang beside him, "Zhang'er, go to the lower realm and act according to the instructions in this talisman."

After saying this, Fang Jian took out a talisman and handed it to Mei Xianzhang. Mei Xianzhang took it and said, "Yes, Master."

Fang Jian nodded and said, "Go ahead, but be cautious and be careful."
