As Liu Daye fell into coma, Fang Jian stopped pretending and raised his hand to pull out the black magic sword that was stuck in his body. With a wave of his sword finger, he wiped out all the evil spirit on the sword.
The female snake demon was horrified when she saw this scene. She immediately realized that the person in front of her was definitely not an ordinary person, but a cultivator whose Taoism was far superior to hers, or even... an immortal!
Fang Jian raised his hand and threw the black magic sword that had been free of demonic energy. It immediately flew towards the female snake demon, but he had no intention of killing her.
The female snake demon immediately raised her hand and took the black magic sword into her hand. Because the demonic energy on it had been wiped away by Fang Jian, the female snake demon felt a little uncomfortable when she first caught the magic weapon that belonged to her.
When the female snake demon raised her head and looked at Fang Jian again, she saw that he was holding a folding fan in his hand and gently waved it around. Her magical snake smoke and black barrier was instantly blown away by a breeze.
The female snake demon's face froze upon seeing this, and the hatred on her face was immediately replaced by horror. She only said, "Who are you?"
Fang Jian, holding a black jade fan, said to the demon woman, "It doesn't matter who I am, but you can't kill this mortal."
The female snake demon said with a ferocious face: "He killed my child. Killing someone means paying with your life. It is only right."
"That's not right." Fang Jian said, "You are a snake demon, and your child is a snake. The rules and laws of the human world don't apply to you."
When the female snake demon heard Fang Jian's words, her face darkened and she asked coldly, "What do you mean?"
Fang Jian said: "My meaning is very simple. You need to go to Renjian Xuanpan for this matter."
As mentioned before, the so-called "Xuanpan" refers to those born with extraordinary abilities and achievements, whose names are recorded in the Xuanpu. Those appointed by the True Saints are usually officially appointed. Those appointed through good fortune, their souls and spirits reside in the ranks, judging the laws of heaven through dreams. Those who reside in the records of ghosts and gods, secretly control the laws of heaven, possess hearing and vision, and whose hearts are at par with heaven and whose spirits are in harmony with the underworld, are officially appointed and each has a rank.
For example, Wei Zheng in the past had extraordinary abilities and achievements in his life, and his name was recorded in the Xuanpu. It was a foregone conclusion that he would become a god and an immortal official after his death. However, when he was alive, Taixuandu Province would confer him the title of "remote honor", and he would only be able to receive the "official title" after his death.
Therefore, the Heavenly Court allows these people to "judge" the Heavenly Law, specifically to handle matters that the Heavenly Court cannot handle under the laws of the human world.
Just like what happened this time, the snake demon’s child was beaten to death. The human government certainly cannot handle this kind of case, nor does it have the ability to do so.
The ones who have the ability to take care of this are the immortal officials in heaven, and the human officials who have "remote honors" from heaven. They have the power to take care of such events.
As the most prosperous dynasty in the Southern Continent, the Tang Dynasty has many officials with the title of Taixuandu Province Yaoxun. The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Yu Jiang, is a person who has received the fifth-rank Yaoxun of Taixuandu Province, which means that he can directly become a fifth-rank immortal official after his death.
But when the demon woman heard Fang Jian's words, her face turned cold and she said, "I am a demon, and those Xuanpan are human. How can I get a fair judgment if I seek justice from them?"
Fang Jian said sternly, "They are all people who have been granted remote titles by the Heavenly Court. They will definitely judge the case fairly. If you don't go find them and kill mortals without authorization, you know what awaits you."
"It's nothing more than a violation of Heaven's law." The witch said calmly: "If I don't avenge my son, Heaven will not forgive me!"
After the witch finished speaking, she turned to Fang Jian and said, "I know you are more advanced than me, but if you try to stop me, I will fight you to the death!"
After saying that, the banshee was surrounded by demonic light and was about to rush forward with a magic sword in her hand.
But at this moment, a voice came from not far away: "Snake demon, stop!"
As the light shout was uttered, the banshee paused and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
A moment later, a ray of earth escape light appeared, and then a middle-aged man wearing the robe of a ninth-grade immortal official, with a square face and an upright figure, appeared in front of Fang Jian.
"Snake demon, don't kill it without permission!" the middle-aged man shouted at the demon girl in a stern voice.
The banshee's eyes widened as she stared at the middle-aged man with an expression of disbelief. "I killed without permission? I killed without permission? Land God, look for yourself. It was this mortal who killed my child first!!!"
It turned out that this middle-aged man was the land god of Daliu Village. The land god said to the demon girl with a serious face: "Your child was killed by a mortal. As this Taoist friend said, you can seek justice for your child, but you must not kill people. I cannot sit idly by and watch you kill people here."
Upon hearing this, the banshee couldn't help but laugh out loud, tears of hatred streaming from her eyes. "My child was killed, and I can't avenge him? What kind of bullshit is this?"
The land god said seriously, "Your cave is deep in Longling Mountain, more than three hundred miles away from Daliao Village. Am I right?"
The banshee said calmly, "That's true, but so what?"
The land god said, "But your child came to Daliu Manor from a cave three hundred miles away, and it's a highly poisonous snake. According to common sense, there's nothing wrong with the people of Daliu Manor beating your child to death."
Fang Jian nodded slightly when he heard the words of the land god.
This land god was not speaking for Daliushuang, but was stating a fact: it was perfectly normal for a poisonous snake to be killed if it broke into a densely populated residential area.
But even though this is the truth, a mother will not be able to get over the death of her child because of this.
So even though the land god made it very clear, the banshee completely refused to accept it. "But he is my child! If your child was killed, would you still say such a thing?"
The land god looked directly at the banshee and said, "I understand how you feel, so I can help you find the Xuanpan and see how he decides the matter. How about that?"
