"Master Hongqing, please spare my life."
"Master Hongqing, please spare my life."
"We were forced to come here by the Ten Demon Kings."
"We are willing to submit to the majesty of heaven and will never rebel again."
"I will submit to the power of heaven and never rebel!"
Fang Jian stood on the cloud, looking quietly at the 640,000 little demons below.
The ghost soldiers in the distance had already gathered all the ghosts and sealed them on the ghost car. The Ghost King of Lingchuan immediately ordered: "Return to the underworld quickly."
"My Lord Ghost King, why are you in such a hurry?" The ghost general beside him asked the Ghost King of Lingchuan.
The Ghost King of Lingchuan glanced towards the northern mountain range of Banjie Mountain and said, "Go back early, you might have to come back again."
"That shouldn't be the case," the ghost general said. "If Master Hongqing wanted to kill those little demons, he would have killed them along with the big demons long ago. Why would he leave them alone?"
Upon hearing this, the Ghost King of Lingchuan immediately said to the Ghost General, "You have a point, but we should return to the underworld as soon as possible. I am worried about so many demon spirits."
When the ghost general heard this, he immediately said to the Ghost King of Lingchuan, "Ghost King is wise. I understand."
As the fifty thousand ghost soldiers returned to the underworld, the huge Ghost Gate slammed shut. Then the dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and Banjie Mountain returned to its state of the living world again. Of course, if it weren't for the corpses and rivers of blood all over the mountain.
"You are accomplices to the rebellion and should be killed on the spot." Fang Jian stood on the cloud and said to the hundreds of thousands of little demons below.
When the little demons heard this, they all kowtowed and begged Fang Jian for mercy.
"Quiet!" Tang Yuzhen shouted from the side.
Following Tang Yu's shocking shout, the little demons below trembled suddenly, then shut their mouths and fell silent.
At this time, Fang Jian said again: "But since I am the Minister of the Western Heaven Prefecture, I am like the father of all the people in the Western Heaven Prefecture. Now that the main culprits and their accomplices in the rebellion on Banjie Mountain have been killed, your crime of coercion should be treated leniently."
"While the death penalty may be avoided, the punishment of life imprisonment cannot be escaped." Fang Jian looked at the little demons and said, "Each of you will have your life span reduced by thirty years and be forced to do hard labor in Xitian Prefecture for fifty years to forgive your sins."
After hearing Fang Jian's verdict, all the little demons present immediately felt like they had survived a calamity, and then all of them knelt down and kowtowed to Fang Jian to express their gratitude.
Fang Jian looked at the little demons below who were constantly kowtowing in gratitude and spoke again, "You must follow the instructions of the divine general and gather at the Ancient Hill Monastery. You must not be late. Those who are late will be killed!"
"Yes." Six hundred and forty thousand little demons responded in unison, their voices so deafening that they shook the earth.
Afterwards, Fang Jian arranged for a divine general to lead these little demons into the country of Shaluo and headed straight towards the Guqiu Temple.
"Withdraw the camp at Fanqing Peak and return to Xitian Prefecture." Fang Jian said to General Fatan and General Pomiao.
"I obey the order." The two generals, Destroying the Altar and Destroying the Temple, responded respectfully.
...
"The battle at Banjie Mountain is over." Pilushi Buddha said in a deep voice, "We were one move short of victory. We lost."
Mahavairocana Buddha had recovered as normal by now. Upon hearing this, he said calmly, "There's no need to be so resolute, my friend. This is only the first encounter. There will always be opportunities to turn defeat into victory in the future."
Pilushi Buddha said: "Although that is what I said, now that the ten demon kings are dead, the demon race of the entire Xiniu Hezhou has lost the power to oppose the Western Heaven Palace."
Upon hearing Vairocana Buddha's words, Mahavairocana Buddha's eyes turned cold, and he said in a stern tone, "From now on, it will be difficult for you to be a chess piece."
The Buddha Amoghavajra of the North raised his head and immediately spoke, "The evil spirits of the Western Niu He Continent devour people and kill them, causing them unbearable suffering. The mortal world is plagued by grievances and karma. We, the disciples of the Buddhist sect, should exorcise these evil spirits and save all living beings from the sea of suffering."
"Good." Mahavairocana Buddha clasped his hands together and said, "Xitian Palace's Hongqing Zhenren has long issued an imperial decree, ordering all Buddhist temples in Xiniuhezhou to eliminate demonic cultivators. Now that demons are rampant and harming lives, we Buddhist disciples should obey the Xitian Palace's decree, enforce justice on behalf of Heaven, and eliminate the demons."
"Amitabha." Vairocana Buddha chanted the Buddha's name loudly and said, "Well done, well done. Just as you said."
Afterwards, Vairocana Buddha, Vairocana Buddha and Amoghasiddhi Buddha of the North issued a decree and sent it to the major Buddhist temples in Xiniu Hezhou, ordering them to wipe out all the demon cultivators within the jurisdiction of the Buddhist temples, to enforce justice on behalf of heaven, and to bring peace to the lives of all living beings without any mistakes.
...
At the same time, in the Baituo Palace in the Western Paradise.
The Demon King Peng was brought into the Hongde Hall, where Fang Jian sat high on the throne. The five heavenly generals, including the General of Capturing and Killing, the General of Destroying Altars, the General of Destroying Temples, the General of Passing Letters, and the Heavenly General Guarding the Palace, stood on the right side of the hall, looking at the Demon King Peng with majestic eyes.
The redemption man stood on the left side of the big point, holding the "Redemption Jade Book" in his hand, and staring quietly at the Demon King Peng.
"Kneel down." The two divine generals behind him shouted at the Demon King Peng.
Demon King Peng raised his head and looked at Fang Jian in the hall, then at the five heavenly generals on his right. This time, unlike King Yuxiong, he didn't try to "die rather than kneel." Instead, he knelt directly in the hall, bowed with both hands, and said, "Greetings to Master Hongqing."
Fang Jian looked at the Demon King Peng and said, "Demon King Peng, you and the Demon King Jiao, the Lion King, the Monkey King, the Ape King, the Heaven-reaching King, the Heaven-flipping King, the Heaven-supporting King, the Heaven-shaking King, the Heaven-shaking King, and the other demons gathered at the Demon Boundary Mountain and conspired to rebel against the Heavenly Court. Do you plead guilty?"
Demon King Peng lowered his head and remained silent. Seeing this, Tang Yu immediately shouted, "Demon King Peng, the Minister is asking you a question."
Demon King Peng raised his head and looked at Fang Jian, and asked, "Master Hongqing, if I confess my crime, can I be spared from death?"
Fang Jian ignored Peng Demon King's question and looked at him and said, "Peng Demon King, you conspired with Jiao Demon King and other demons to rebel against the Heavenly Court. Do you admit your guilt?"
