Fang Jian sat cross-legged in the Mountain God Temple, his back straight, his eyes fixed on Hong Yuanhua, who had just been sent back by Wu Tongjun and was now kneeling on one knee.
"Do you know why I have to plead for you with the Grand Envoy?" Fang Jian asked Hong Yuanhua.
Hong Yuanhua looked up at Fang Jian, then lowered his head and replied directly, "My Lord, I don't know."
"Since you call yourself my subordinate, you should understand that I need people." Fang Jian said with a smile.
Hong Yuanhua frowned, lowered his head and said nothing.
Fang Jian looked at him and said, "When you were taken to the Heavenly Palace for execution, your entire past was examined, right?"
"Yes." Hong Yuanhua replied.
As long as the demons and monsters who have committed crimes are brought to the Heavenly Court for trial, all the memories and experiences of this life will be checked by the Heavenly Court, and everything you have experienced will be seen clearly.
"Then I'll be frank with you," Fang Jian said, "I became the God of Broken Boundary Mountain to help Master Weisheng find the Four-Eyed Demon King and retrieve the Book of Birth."
Fang Jian looked at him and said, "I believe you have guessed this. The previous mountain god died in a strange way, and now the Heavenly Court has sent me here. Any demon lord with a little bit of common sense can figure out the connection between these things."
Upon hearing this, Hong Yuanhua said, "In my humble opinion, the death of the previous God of Broken Boundary Mountain was definitely not caused by the Mingyue Cave Demon Mansion."
Fang Jian remained noncommittal. He looked at him and said, "Until everything is verified, everyone's suspicion cannot be absolved. Right now, the only innocent places in Xihua Province are Baowei Cave, Shuangyan Cave, Chaohe Cave, and Skull Cave—the four demon abodes that have been imprisoned by the Taisu Tongming Talisman."
"How much do you know about Hong Jing?" Fang Jian asked Hong Yuanhua again.
Hong Yuanhua was a little surprised. Hong Jing? "This person is also from the Chongxiao Tianhe clan. He has been following me since I reached the Spirit Refining Realm. There's nothing special about him."
"Oh?" Fang Jian's eyes flickered as he said, "So you don't know much about him, do you?"
Hong Yuanhua was a little surprised and said, "Shan Jun, this person has always worked under me and has always been very obedient. Moreover, he is a member of my clan, so I don't interfere too much in his affairs."
After saying that, Hong Yuanhua asked, "What happened to him?"
Fang Jian smiled slightly and said, "Just a few hours ago, Hong Jing's soul was taken away by the underworld. He was pardoned by the underworld and promoted to a fourth-rank immortal official of the Ten Palaces of Ghosts."
"What?!" Hong Yuanhua was extremely shocked and surprised when he heard the news.
The appointment of immortal officials in the Heavenly Court has an extremely strict assessment system. Although each department has the power to decide on the appointment of officials and then report to the Grand Envoy and the Jade Emperor, generally no one does so.
Hong Yuanhua did not understand the appointment procedure for immortal officials, but he knew that this was not in line with common sense.
What’s more important is that Hong Jing was captured by Fang Jian, but the underworld took him away directly from Fang Jian, which clearly showed that they did not give Fang Jian any face.
"This matter..." Hong Yuanhua murmured, "I really don't understand it."
Fang Jian said, "I didn't understand it either, so I pleaded directly with the Grand Envoy to keep you here."
Hong Yuanhua asked doubtfully, "But I don't know much about Hong Jing. What can I do?"
"For the time being, you will be my patrol general." Fang Jian said, "You are a Yangshen Daoist, so being a patrol general in the Mountain God Temple will be no problem."
"Yes." Hong Yuanhua replied with his head down.
Fang Jian looked at him and said, "Whatever grudges we had before, I hope you'll let them go. Now you're a patrol general under my throne, the Broken Boundary Mountain God. If you can help me with the affairs of Xihua Province, I'll promote you, and you'll be pardoned and free. This will be a good thing for both of us, but if you can't distinguish between the primary and the secondary, no one will plead for you next time."
Upon hearing this, Hong Yuanhua immediately bowed and said, "Don't worry, my lord. From now on, I will obey your orders."
After this incident, Hong Yuanhua was completely enlightened. Even though he was the heir of the Mingyue Cave Demon Palace, if anything really happened, Master Wuxiang would abandon him.
But the Heavenly Court spared his life. Not only did the Heavenly Court spare his life, it also controlled his life and death.
If that's the case, why not just serve the Heavenly Court? He used to limit himself to the demon clan, but now his vision has broadened a lot. The demon clan is also a creature under the rule of the Heavenly Court. Why should I hang myself on the demon clan tree?
This is truly the case of 'the thought of joining the army suddenly opens up the world.'
...
King Chongshou sat in the cave, watching the beautiful beauties dancing in front of him with an expressionless face.
The delicate bodies of the beauties danced gracefully to the music, but everyone's face was filled with extreme caution.
The king was in a very bad mood, and this was something everyone in the demon palace knew.
The king's favorite concubine married someone else, and the marriage was arranged by the supreme being in heaven.
The concubines were very confused. What did the Jade Emperor have to do with whether the monsters could get married or not?
Although Yu Ji was the only one favored by the King, she did not take advantage of her favor. Instead, when her sisters made mistakes, she took the initiative to plead with the King for them.
Now that such people are gone, the enchantresses are trembling with fear in everything they do, and they dare not even speak too loudly.
Amidst the sounds of music and dance, a young demon girl at the Nascent Soul stage walked in with her head lowered. She came before the Great King and reported in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Master of the Mingyue Cave Demon Mansion, Master Wuxiang, wishes to see you outside the mansion."
As soon as the little demon girl finished her report, the King of Chongshou suddenly turned around and looked at her, "Who?"
