Ying Zhao heard this and said, "Because Master Jianyang was killed by Wuluo and his men in Luanling Prefecture."
Fang Jian nodded and said, "That's right. A second-rank immortal official of my Heavenly Court perished in Chaos Lingzhou, and one of the murderers was the demon master of Juhu Gorge. If the demons of Juhu Gorge are all innocent, does that mean Master Jianyang is also guilty?"
Ying Zhao said, "Master Jianyang is naturally innocent, but the murderer was Wuluo, not the demons of Juhu Gorge. As the demon lord, how could the demons under him know what he was going to do? Divine Lord Hongqing blamed them and exterminated over 100,000 demons in one cave. This is really too much."
Fang Jian sneered, "Even after meeting the Celestial Officials, they still chose to aid the tyrant. Their deaths are unworthy. Let me ask the Demon God Yingzhao, if Wuluo and his men hadn't killed Master Jianyang, would I, Fang Jian, have been so idle in the Celestial Court that I'd go and cause chaos in Lingzhou? Demon God, why don't you blame the chief culprit, Wuluo, but instead accuse me of my crime? What's your logic?"
"As for what you just said, it's purely hindsight. You said they were innocent and unaware, but are they really innocent and unaware? Even if they were innocent and unaware, they should have surrendered immediately when King Wuluo was captured, instead of fleeing into the cave."
"But they immediately fled into the cave abode after King Wuluo was captured. The cultivation world is filled with countless strange and mysterious magic spells and magical weapons. Who can guarantee that Wuluo hasn't left a backup plan in the Juhu Gorge Demon Cave? If we're not careful, the situation could reverse and lead to disaster. Before that happens, do I have to identify over a hundred thousand demons one by one to determine whether they are aware of the situation or are innocent?"
"If I hesitate to make a decision when I should, I will suffer the consequences! If my momentary weakness leads to greater disaster, causing more heavenly soldiers and generals, and all living beings in the world to suffer, that would be the true sin."
"Without the use of thunderbolts, it is difficult to show compassion. Heaven's laws are merciless, and those who defy them will be punished."
"I am not at fault! Even if I am at fault, it should be the Taixuan Province that should blame me and convict me, not the Demon Court, and certainly not you, the Yingzhao Demon God."
After Fang Jian finished speaking, the entire Haori Palace fell into silence.
The demon god Ying Zhao stared at Fang Jian blankly, completely speechless.
Tang Yu, who was standing below Di Jun, widened her eyes and looked at Fang Jian in disbelief.
