Indeed, it is a bit difficult to let a land god with low magic power deal with the demon cultivators, and the Heavenly Rules do not demand too much of them in this regard. For low-grade immortal officials on land such as City Gods, Mountain Gods, and Land Gods, the Heavenly Rules allow them to protect themselves behind closed doors when they encounter danger, but they must report the situation to the Heavenly Monarch's Palace or other high-level god palaces.
Fang Jian finally asked Jiang Piao, "Fellow Daoist, where is the City God Temple that governs this area?"
Jiang Piao heard this and said, "Oh, in Songjiang Prefecture."
After Fang Jian got the answer, he took Hei Haier away. On the way back to Duozi Village, Fang Jian said to Hei Haier, "Go to the City God Temple in Songjiang Prefecture and ask him to send a ghost-catching general and his ghost soldiers to Duozi Village to obey your orders."
Hei Haier couldn't help but ask, "Master, now you have to reveal your identity."
Fang Jian laughed and said, "Why bother with so much trouble? Have you forgotten that you are also an immortal official?"
Upon hearing this, Hei Haier suddenly remembered that he was also a fourth-rank immortal official. Although he did not have a specific divine position, he was still a fourth-rank immortal official after all, so it should be no problem for him to mobilize the ghost-catching generals and ghost soldiers of the City God Temple.
"Yes, sir, I'll set off now." The black boy bowed to Fang Jian, then turned around and turned into a golden light and flew straight towards Songjiang Prefecture.
When Fang Jian returned to the Jinyiwei base in Duozi Village alone, he found that the lights were on and the pacification envoy Guo Shi was pacing outside his tent.
Fang Jian disappeared and flew into the tent, then said, "Is that Fellow Daoist Guo outside?"
As he spoke, Fang Jian opened the tent and walked out. He immediately saw Guo Shi with a serious expression on his face. "Fellow Daoist Guo, what happened?"
Guo Shi looked behind Fang Jian and asked, "Daoyou Dafang, where is your boy?"
Fang Jian said calmly, "I asked him to go do something and he will be back soon."
Guo Shi nodded, then bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Fellow Daoist Dafang, something strange has happened in the camp. Please follow me."
As soon as Guo Shi opened his mouth, Fang Jian's divine sense had already enveloped the entire base, and then he discovered that there was not a single "good person" in the entire base except him and Guo Shi.
When Fang Jian and Guo Shi entered the large tent, they looked up and saw three rows of Jinyiwei lying neatly in the middle of the tent. They were all lying on the ground, their faces pale.
Bai, his eyes were stiff, as if he was extremely weak.
There were ten people in each row, and exactly thirty people were lying on the ground. These were all the Jinyiwei flags stationed with Guo Shi in Duozi Village.
Fang Jian came to a small Jinyiwei flag, touched him behind the ear with his sword finger, and said, "He is weak and has lost his soul. Who did this?"
Guo Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know." He looked up at Fang Jian and said, "Besides demonic cultivators, only immortals can take away the souls of my men right under the nose of a Yangshen realm cultivator like me."
"But if the demon cultivators get close to our base, you and I will definitely be able to sense the demonic energy," Fang Jian said.
Guo Shi nodded and said, "Yes, so it couldn't have been done by a demon cultivator. It must have been done by a Taoist friend who had achieved immortality."
Fang Jian didn't answer, but continued to check on the Jinyiwei flags. At this time, Guo Shi stared at Fang Jian's back and asked, "I can't see through your Taoism, fellow Daoist Dafang. I guess you must be an immortal, right? Also, what is your boy doing? When will he be back?"
Fang Jian laughed when he heard this and said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Guo, this was definitely not my doing."
"Fellow Daoist, please forgive me." Guo Shi said, "It's not that I don't trust you, but I am responsible for these thirty lives. These are thirty families, with countless wives, children and elders behind them."
Fang Jian raised his hand to stop Guo Shi from speaking, then raised his head and smiled, "I think you are not greedy for wealth and glory, but greedy for human love."
"Guo Shi looked surprised and asked, "What do you mean, fellow Taoist?"
Fang Jian waved his hand, then looked at the Jinyiwei flags and said, "They can still live for another month. We need to recover their souls within a month."
Guo Shi bowed to Fang Jian and said, "If this is truly not your doing, then please forgive my suspicion and I beg you to lend me a helping hand."
Fang Jian smiled faintly and said, "This is a simple matter. As long as their souls still exist in this world, it won't be difficult to find them. However, we need to confirm one thing right now."
Guo Shi understood something and nodded, saying, "Capture all the demon cultivators around Diaoer Mountain and see if they are responsible."
With Fang Jian's help, Guo Shi quickly captured the two remaining demon cultivators around Diaoer Mountain, but unfortunately, the loss of the souls of these Jinyiwei flags had nothing to do with these demon cultivators.
After sending the two demon cultivators to the Demon Saving Division of Dongyue Prefecture, Guo Shi transferred another 100 Jinyiwei reinforcements from the Dongzhenfu Division and set up their base in Songjiang Prefecture. He also placed the 30 dispirited Jinyiwei flags in Songjiang Prefecture and let them be looked after by the 100 Jinyiwei reinforcements who came later.
After settling all this, Guo Shi returned to Duozi Village alone. At this time, Fang Jian and Heihaier had already flown to the cliff of the hanging coffins on Diaoer Mountain with the ghost-catching general and ghost soldiers from the Songjiang Prefecture City God Temple, and began to subdue the souls of the baby girls who had turned into evil spirits.
Guo Shi was very surprised that Fang Jian could mobilize the ghost soldiers and generals of the City God Temple, but as a result, his doubts about Fang Jian were basically dispelled.
After all, an immortal who can have a say in the immortal officials of the heavenly court is unlikely to be a person who can capture people's souls and commit great evil.
