Upon hearing this, Zheng Han knew he still had a chance to survive, so he dared not hide anything. "I was originally a white fox on Jinting Mountain. I cultivated for three hundred years before transforming into a human."
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Zhixuan said calmly, "Jinting Mountain is in Nanchao, a thousand miles away from here. Having obtained the opportunity to cultivate into human form, my journey has indeed become much faster."
Zheng Han's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Most of the people in this group are cultivators, so they're not easy to fool.
"Yes, I know I have committed a grave offense by possessing a mortal's body, but please, Gods, be my witness: I have never harmed anyone."
"I know."
Jiang Shumiao said slowly, "Otherwise, I would have already skinned you and made a padded jacket for my mother."
As expected, it's a god that eats demons.
Zheng Han felt a sudden tightness in his skin, as if he was about to be skinned alive and stripped of his bones, reduced to his original form. He was so frightened that he stammered.
“My lord, have mercy! This little demon had no choice. The gods do not tolerate demons, and the celestial realm has even issued a decree to exterminate demons. With nowhere to live, the demons could only hide in the mortal world. The mortal body I am inhabiting is originally from Nanchao. Because I committed a murder, my family sent me to Xixian to avoid trouble. At that time, to escape the pursuit of the Taoist priest, I possessed his body. Knowing that this matter was detrimental to my virtue, I only wish to use this body to bring blessings to the people and atone for my sins.”
Ling Quchen said, "You are using Zheng Han's identity. He was originally an evil person, but now, because of you, he has accumulated a lot of merit. When he dies in the future and goes to the underworld, it will be difficult to judge his merits and demerits. Do you know that this action has already disrupted the rules of the underworld?"
Zheng Han turned pale and trembled, unable to speak.
Zhang Daowei's eyes showed some pity, "Moreover, you have possessed a mortal body and are already tainted by karma."
Wen Zhixuan didn't speak, but gave Jiang Shumiao a meaningful look.
Based on his understanding of the child, he guessed she was about to have a sudden outburst of kindness.
Fengdu is her friend, and she is not afraid of the Heavenly Dao.
He figured she probably didn't care much about the rules.
Jiang Shumiao had long since realized that this fox demon had no blood on its hands, but rather that the owner of this body had committed many evil deeds.
From a moral standpoint, his possession of a mortal body is a sin.
However, from a moral standpoint, he was an honest and upright official who brought benefits to the region and thus made great contributions.
Jiang Shumiao pondered for a moment and said, "Zheng Han is utterly wicked and destined for a short life. He will be punished in the underworld. I will erase all the merits you have accumulated for him and put his fate back on track. However, your possession of a mortal body violates the laws of heaven, and in addition, you are bound by the laws of the human world. Therefore, these merits cannot be returned to you. In this way, it will not be considered as disrupting the rules of the underworld."
Zheng Han was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty. This humble demon is willing to obey Your Majesty's commands."
Jiang Shumiao then asked, "Where is Zheng Han's soul?"
