Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Fang Jian stepped onto the Immortal Execution Platform step by step. Yan Jingyao, Yan Jingfa, Yan Jingci, and Yan Jingdao stood on both sides of the platform. Eighty-three Golden Immortals and Heavenly Generals lined up in order on the platform.
At this moment, the eyes of the Heavenly Court, Taoism, Buddhism, the demon clan and even the Daotian Tower headquarters were all looking here.
When Fang Jian stepped onto the Immortal Execution Platform, Yan Jingyao immediately stepped forward with a scroll of legal decree in both hands and handed it to Fang Jian.
This scroll of legal decree was left behind by Master Wenshi, and it contained the decree issued by the Taixuandu Province to condemn Old Ancestor Hongyun and Daotian Tower.
Fang Jian took the decree, slowly opened it and read it carefully again, but still felt dissatisfied.
"It's too wordy." Fang Jian thought to himself. The edict contained a long and eloquent paragraph praising the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor, the Four Great Emperors, and the Great Envoy. Then it enumerated the sins of the Red Cloud Ancestor and the Daotian Tower, and finally convicted them. No matter how many times Fang Jian read it, he still felt it was too wordy.
After thinking it over, Fang Jian looked at the imperial edict, read ten lines at a glance, and began to simplify the entire imperial edict in his mind at a very fast speed.
So in the eyes of everyone, Fang Jian paused for a moment after opening the edict, and then began to read it.
"The Great Way is the highest virtue, opening up the universe, creating the world, establishing the Way and spreading the Dharma, manifesting virtue and transforming things, all worth ten thousand yuan."
"The Way of Heaven is extremely benevolent. It nurtures all living things, encompasses the universe, establishes the Heavenly Court, and benefits the three realms. Ghosts and monsters bow down, demons hide, and all beings are brought to peace and nurture."
"The Great Celestial Venerable, who dispels calamities and averts disasters, whose virtue reaches all spirits, bestows mercy upon the universe, holds the reins of power, and responds to the will of Heaven. His destiny is to renew the world."
"The Four Great Emperors, rulers of all things, move the stars, nurture all spirits, protect the heavens, and shine brightly. They respectfully obey the will of heaven and act in accordance with the Way."
"The Great Lord's messenger, personally upholding the laws of Heaven, commanding the Thunder Troops, showering divine might upon all, purging evil spirits, with a majestic and awe-inspiring appearance, the Way is righteous and pure, commanding both civil and military affairs, upholding the laws and preserving the order, the Mysterious Sun Mother, supreme and eternal."
"Here is a Daotian Tower that has hidden itself from the world, defying the Heavenly Court, trampling upon Heaven's laws, and bringing disaster to all living beings. The Celestial Court's immortal officials, obeying Heaven's orders, punish the rebellion and violence, and bring peace to all living beings."
"Now, by the command of the Jade Emperor, the Four Great Emperors, and the Grand Envoy of Taixuan Province, the Heavenly God of Justice is commanding Fangjin to construct the Immortal Execution Platform on Jueyun Ridge in Xihua Prefecture. He will slay the Daotian Tower rebels Hongyun, Gao Shu, Kaifang, and their followers, who are causing chaos in Dingqing Prefecture, and exterminate their souls. They will be banished from this world and will never be reincarnated, as ordered."
After reading it, Fang Jian closed the scroll and placed it back in Yan Jingyao's hands.
After Yan Jingyao took the imperial edict, he bowed and withdrew. He had not read the imperial edict yet, so he did not know that the content of the edict had been simplified by Fang Jian.
At this moment, Fang Jian raised his head and said loudly, "Daotian Tower rebelled against the Heavenly Court, murdered immortal officials, and brought chaos to the human world. Their crimes are unforgivable. This deity obeys the orders of the Jade Emperor, the Four Great Emperors, and the Great Lord, and is here to enforce the laws of Heaven."
After saying that, Fang Jian shouted, "Bring the bandit leaders Hong Yun, Gao Shu, and Kai Fang!"
...
In the Heavenly Palace, inside the Taixuan Hall.
The first group of people who returned have already been rewarded, and some of them have left the Taixuan Palace and gone to the residence arranged by the Heavenly Court to rest temporarily.
Therefore, in the Taixuan Palace now, there are only the Nine-Sky Mysterious Woman, the Yisheng True Lord, the Tianyou True Lord, the Five-Directions Thunder Emperor, the Sun Star Lord, the Tianhan Golden Dragon, Yin Xi, Guan Yu and the first-rank immortal officials of the Taixuan Province.
There is a huge light curtain on the Taixuan Palace. It was the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman who directly reproduced what happened at Jueyun Ridge in the Taixuan Palace.
When Wenshi Zhenren Yin Xi heard the imperial edict recited by Fang Jian, he was stunned, and then his eyes turned to Youyuan Zhenren who was standing beside him.
True Man Youyuan was also startled, then immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Excellency, I wish to impeach True Man Hongqing."
Hearing this, the Lady of the Nine Heavens, whose gaze was fixed on the light curtain, said calmly, "What do you want to impeach him for?"
True Man Youyuan said, "I would like to impeach True Man Hongqing for arbitrarily modifying the laws of the Taixuan Metropolitan Province. This is a crime of rebellion. I ask the Grand Master to issue an imperial decree to punish him."
The Lady of the Nine Heavens asked, "Isn't his modification good?"
Master Youyuan said, "My Lord, this isn't a question of good or bad. Fang Jian, a fourth-rank official, dared to tamper with the imperial decree of the Taixuan Province. He is incredibly audacious and has no regard for the laws of heaven. Severe punishment will serve as a warning to others."
After Master Youyuan finished speaking, Master Li Ye, the Grand Historian of the Great Xuan Dynasty, and Master Guangting, the Grand Lieutenant of the Great Xuan Dynasty, immediately stepped forward and echoed, "We second this motion."
But the other real people remained calm. Xunzi, the inspector of Taixuan Province, did not say anything when he saw this, but instead cast his gaze slightly towards the Queen Mother of the West.
Upon hearing this, Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu finally turned her gaze towards the three people of You Yuan Zhen Ren, then slowly nodded and said, "In that case, when he returns to Heaven, I will reprimand him in person."
"Face-to-face punishment?" Youyuan Zhenren and the other two were stunned when they heard this, and then they couldn't believe their ears.
"Great Lord..." Master Youyuan wanted to say more.
The Queen Mother of the West simply waved her sleeves and said calmly, "Step back." Her tone was intimidating without anger.
Master Youyuan's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to say another word. He immediately bowed and said, "Yes."
As True Man Youyuan and his two companions reluctantly retreated to the vassal camp, within the light curtain, Old Ancestor Hongyun, Gao Shu, and Kai Fang were also escorted to the Immortal Execution Platform by six Heavenly Generals.
But when everyone in the hall saw the first ancestor Hongyun being taken to the beheading platform, everyone was stunned, even the Queen Mother of the West was slightly startled.
Only to see the Red Cloud Ancestor in the light curtain, his mind was in a trance. Whether it was his primordial spirit or his three souls and seven spirits, all his faces were filled with extreme pain. Moreover, the Red Cloud Ancestor's spirit had completely collapsed, and he kept muttering to himself.
