When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately looked at the Emperor of Fengdu and said, "Since you have come to the underworld, I will definitely be in charge of handling this case."
The Emperor of Fengdu looked at Fang Jian without showing any sign of weakness and said, "Emperor Hongqing, I am the Emperor of Fengdu, the ruler of the underworld. As the leader of the Four Emperors of Lingxiao, it is inappropriate for you to interfere in this matter."
This is telling Fang Jian that I am the King of Fengdu. Although you are the leader of the Four Emperors of Lingxiao, you cannot micromanage things like this, right?
Fang Jian heard this and said calmly, "It's too late for you to say these things, my fellow Daoist. I have already mobilized the heavenly soldiers."
The Emperor of Fengdu's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Why did the Emperor Hongqing do this? For such a small case, he sent heavenly soldiers to attack the underworld? The underworld didn't rebel, did it?"
Fang Jian glanced at the Emperor of Fengdu and said in surprise, "How could you think so? Am I crazy to mobilize the heavenly soldiers to attack the underworld? I'm talking about the Tushan tribe."
"Tushan tribe?" Fengdu Emperor frowned. At this time, a Yin spirit beside Fengdu Emperor quickly said, "Tushan tribe is a fox demon tribe in Tushan."
Fengdu Emperor suddenly realized something, then looked at Fang Jian and asked, "What is the connection between this case and the Tushan tribe?"
"Fellow Daoist, please take a look for yourself." Fang Jian sent the spiritual light and shadow to the Emperor of Fengdu.
The Emperor of Fengdu took the spiritual light and took a look at it. He immediately understood what was going on. "Emperor Hongqing, where did you get this?"
Fang Jian said, "It was presented to this emperor by the Dao Sect."
After hearing this, the Emperor of Fengdu snorted coldly and said, "When the gods of the underworld went to search Qingcheng Mountain, the Taoist sect did not present this evidence! It is clear that they are deliberately deceiving the underworld."
Fang Jian said, "This is the spiritual light that the Dao Sect obtained when they later reversed the time and space of Qingcheng Mountain. Besides, you can't blame the Dao Sect for such a thing."
After that, Fang Jian stood up and said, "I'll leave the underworld to you. I'm going to the Tushan tribe in the human world. The case has fallen into my hands, and it's impossible for you to not let me take care of it."
The Emperor of Fengdu said, "If Emperor Hongqing wants to bypass the higher authorities in everything, then what is the point of establishing so many divine offices and chief divine officials?"
Fang Jian turned around and said, "If this case hadn't fallen into my hands, and the Heavenly Court successfully reviewed it, wouldn't the Tushan Ghost King have been executed? If an unjust case is allowed to continue like this, and the real perpetrators go unpunished, then what's the point of your existence as the King of Fengdu, the Ten Kings of Hell, the Six Heavens of Luofeng, and the Four Great Judges?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Fengdu slammed his desk and stood up, saying, "Emperor Hongqing, you cannot be so contemptuous of these righteous gods of the underworld who have loyally served the underworld and heaven and benefited all beings in the three realms for trillions of years!"
Seeing the Emperor of Fengdu slamming his hands on the table, Fang Jian angrily said, "Emperor of Fengdu! Is this how you talk to the Emperor who is in charge of the affairs of the Heavenly Court?"
The Emperor of Fengdu said, "You are the Emperor, and I am also the Emperor. We are of equal rank. You simply have more power than I do. I am not the Five Ghost Emperors. Even if you possess the Heavenly Dao Treasure Scroll, the Heavenly Fate Sword, and even control all the authority in Heaven, you can only punish me according to my faults. However, my throne and duties can only be handled by the Jade Emperor. This case is indeed a problem in the underworld. As the Emperor of Fengdu, I have the right to make the decision and investigate."
Fang Jian could not refute this point. The status of emperors like the Five Ghost Emperors, the Five Thunder Emperors and the Fengdu Emperor could not be compared.
During the catastrophe, Dou Mu Yuanjun had to rely on the identity of the Jade Emperor to deal with some emperors, and the Dongji Qinghua Emperor also voluntarily resigned from the throne.
Fang Jian has the right to punish emperors like Fengdu Emperor, Zhenwu Emperor, Wenchang Emperor, and Three Officials Emperor, but if he wants to move their thrones, only the Jade Emperor has this authority.
"Okay," Fang Jian said. "Since you've said so, I can temporarily refrain from interfering in the affairs of the Underworld, but you should leave the Tushan Tribe alone. Also, I, Fang Jian, am no stranger to temper. Before I became an emperor, I was able to punish a local Ghost Emperor. Now that I'm the leader of the Four Emperors of Lingxiao, if I'm dissatisfied with your handling of this case, then don't say I didn't warn you!"
"Even if I can't touch your throne, it doesn't mean I can't touch you. Reform of the underworld is imperative, no one can hide, no one can escape." Fang Jian said in a shocking voice, and all the ghost gods, ghost kings, ghost generals and ghost soldiers in the hall were frightened and silent.
The Emperor of Fengdu's face turned ashen, and he didn't say a word for a long while. Finally, he just looked at Fang Jian and said, "Emperor Hongqing, you have three innate spiritual treasures, which can indeed be used in battle, but can you solve all problems by force?"
Fang Jian waved his hand and said, "Solve most of the problems first. The remaining small problems can be solved without my intervention."
The Emperor of Fengdu was so angry that he laughed, "How is this different from being a tyrant?"
"There is a difference." Fang Jian said, "The tyrant's butcher knife cuts downwards, while mine cuts upwards."
The Emperor of Fengdu's face darkened, and he said, "Emperor Hongqing, forgive me for being blunt, but what you said is all nonsense."
"Whether it's right or wrong, all beings in the three realms will give a fair judgment. I'm going to the Tushan tribe. Goodbye." Fang Jian bowed to the Emperor of Fengdu.
Although the Emperor of Fengdu looked very unhappy, he still walked forward and followed Fang Jian to send him out of Fengdu City.
"There's no need to see me off, fellow Taoist." Outside Fengdu City, Fang Jian said to the Emperor of Fengdu.
The Emperor of Fengdu bowed his head with a dark face and said, "I respectfully bid farewell to the Emperor Hongqing."
"Fellow Daoist, please stay." Fang Jian nodded and said, then took Hei Hai out of the underworld and opened the exit of the underworld directly under Tushan.
Looking at the towering Tushan Mountains before him, Fang Jian said to Hei Haier, "Send an edict to Tang Yu to lead 100,000 heavenly soldiers here immediately to blockade Tushan and the Tushan tribe! Don't let even an ant escape!"
