With the recommendation of all the immortals and gods, Emperor Gou Chen officially appointed Erlang Shen as the 'General Commander of Expeditions', and established a government in Jambu Continent with exclusive authority to control and control the True Lord of Auxiliary Heaven, the Six Marshals, the Four Gods, the Star Lords of the Heavenly Planes, the Three Spirit Gods, the Thirty-six Heavenly Lords, the Central Heavenly Generals and all the heavenly soldiers and generals, to conquer the Buddhist and Xuanjiao sects in Jambu Continent on behalf of God.
After Erlang Shen received the order, he immediately began to select the generals. The other four True Lords of Futian and the six great marshals were all listed, as well as the thirty-six central heavenly generals, the seventy-two earthly generals and other central heavenly generals.
After selecting the generals, Erlang Shen ordered the Four Gods of the Four Directions, the Star Gods of the Zhoutian, the Three Spirit Gods, and the Thirty-six Heavenly Gods to obey his orders at any time and be dispatched at will.
Amid the deafening cheers of nearly a thousand gods and immortals in heaven, the court meeting came to an end.
After the court meeting ended, Erlang Shen immediately led the Futian Zhenjun, the six marshals and all the appointed heavenly generals to the Southern Continent to set up a government.
Although the Heavenly Court has not yet officially issued an edict on when to send troops to the Southern Continent, the "General's Office of the Expedition" must be established first. Otherwise, when the heavenly soldiers and generals arrive, it will be a big trouble if no generals have been sent to lead them.
Erlang Shen and the others were walking in a hurry, and it was obvious that time was very tight, and Fang Jian was also very pressed for time.
Because he is the chief director of Taixuandu Province, once the imperial edict to dispatch troops from Emperor Gou Chen reaches Taixuandu Province, he will immediately dispatch heavenly soldiers and generals to the Southern Continent.
During this period of time, he had to check the combat readiness of all the heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as their magic weapons, armor, talismans, elixirs, and all other matters related to the war, without any negligence.
So after Fang Jian retired from the court, he gave up the idea of ​​returning to the Tianjun Mansion in Xiniu Hezhou and rushed back to Taixuandu Province as soon as possible.
Although he still serves as the Lord of the Western Heaven Palace, that is because Xiniu Hezhou still needs Fang Jian's reputation to intimidate people, so he cannot be dismissed from his post. However, Fang Jian's official position will be in the Heavenly Palace in the future.
Back at the Right Hall of Taixuan Province, which was Fang Jian's main hall, the 'Wuying Hall', the martial arts immortal officials waiting in the hall stood up straight when they saw the newly appointed director and the famous Master Hongqing, and did not dare to relax at all.
As Fang Jian walked to his jade table and sat down, all the martial arts immortal officials in the hall immediately bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Chief Director."
Fang Jian raised his head and took a look, then he remembered that he had just been in office for two days and had not met these subordinates yet.
Thinking of this, Fang Jian stood up and bowed to everyone in return, then said, "No need to be polite, everyone."
"Thank you, Director." Nearly a hundred martial arts immortal officials in the hall bowed in unison, and then they held their heads high and looked at Fang Jian, as if waiting for Fang Jian's instructions.
Fang Jian smiled faintly and said, "I'm new here and haven't met you all before. Normally, I should have a meeting, but I'm busy with work, so I'll skip it. Although you're all my subordinates, you're also my colleagues. You can call me 'General Manager' by my official title, 'Master Hongqing' by my Taoist name, or even 'Daoist Fellow'. I never use empty words, so you can call me whatever you want. But one thing is for sure: when working under me, you must be diligent, fair, and follow the right path. You must not take any crooked or sideways paths. Remember all of this."
After Fang Jian finished speaking, all the immortal officials in the hall immediately bowed and said in unison: "We will follow the instructions of Master Hongqing."
Fang Jian ordered everyone to stand, then said, "Let's skip these formalities. You've heard the news about the merger of the Heavenly Court and the Taoist sect, right?"
"Understood." Everyone responded in unison.
Fang Jian nodded and said, "That's good to know. We've returned from the meeting at the Lingxiao Palace. The Heavenly Court will soon be sending troops to the Southern Continent. Now, we in Taixuan Province and Tianshu Province must prepare for the upcoming war as soon as possible. We must conduct an inventory of all the information and supplies of the existing Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to ensure that there are no hidden dangers."
After saying that, Fang Jian called out, "Where is Young Director Qu Daoping?"
Qu Daoping, the Junior Director of Taixuandu Province, who was standing at the front, immediately responded and bowed, saying, "I'm here."
Fang Jian is the chief director of Taixuandu Province, and Qu Daoping is the junior director. His status among the martial arts immortal officials in Taixuandu Province is second only to Fang Jian, and he is considered Fang Jian's deputy.
"How many heavenly soldiers are there in the four major military commanderies of the Heavenly Court?" Fang Jian asked.
Qu Daoping replied, "To the Commander-in-Chief, the four major military commanders of the East, West, South, and North each have one million elite celestial soldiers, for a total of four million celestial soldiers."
Fang Jian asked again, "What kind of cultivation is this? What is the realm of the physical body?"
Qu Daoping said: "Now, the four million heavenly soldiers are all at the 'True Immortal Realm' level, and their physical bodies are at the 'Steel Bones' level."
Fang Jian was shocked when he heard this report. Are the Heavenly Soldiers this strong now? They may all be True Immortals, with bones of steel and iron, but now is the end of the Dharma, and a swarm of ants can kill an elephant. Let alone four million Heavenly Soldiers, even if they were 400,000, even the Bull Demon King would be terrified.
"Is there anything missing?" Fang Jian asked Qu Daoping.
Qu Daoping was startled when he heard this and said, "Reporting to the Grand Commander, the order for the Heavenly Soldiers to subdue the Danti Realm was issued by the Grand Envoy himself, and the Tianshu Province was responsible for its execution. There should be no omissions."
"Should." Fang Jian tapped his fingers lightly on the jade table, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Qu Daoping, saying, "Cha, I want 'definitely', not 'should'."
Upon hearing this, Qu Daoping immediately saluted and said, "I obey the order."
Afterwards, Fang Jian gave an order, and the immortal officials of Wuying Palace in Taixuan Province immediately launched a checkpoint operation in the four major demon-slaying captains' departments.
At the beginning, whether it was the Queen Mother of the West or the Emperor Qinghua of the East, they both issued a decree, ordering the Tianshu Province to improve the cultivation and realm of the heavenly soldiers of the four demon-slaying captains.
