"King Yuxiong." Fang Jian looked at King Yuxiong and said, "This god will give you one chance. If you are willing to turn from evil to good and repent of your past sins, this god can forgive your sins."
"I'm not guilty." King Yuxiong looked at Fang Jian and said, "It's you, Fang Jian, and the Western Heavenly Palace who are guilty! It's the unjust laws of heaven!"
Hearing King Yuxiong's words, Fang Jian frowned slightly and immediately asked King Yuxiong, "What benefits did the Buddhist sect give you? Arhat status or Bodhisattva status? That made you so willing to be their pawn?"
"Ha!" King Yuxiong sneered and looked at Fang Jian and said, "We are just seeking justice for those demons from Shaluo Country who were unjustly killed by you. This has nothing to do with Buddhism."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian laughed and said, "If you really are like this, then I actually admire you. But do you think I don't know if you don't admit it? You, the ten demon kings, are just using the demon cultivators who were suppressed in Sha Luo Country as an excuse, using those millions of demon cultivators as bargaining chips to gain your own status!"
"Please don't say those hypocritical words about being selfless, fearless, and the three demands." Fang Jian waved his hand, then stared at King Yuxiong and said, "I'm asking you one last time. Are you willing to abandon evil and join the good?"
King Yuxiong said without hesitation: "That's not called abandoning darkness and joining the light, that's called abandoning the light and joining darkness!"
"How dare you." Tang Yu shouted at the side, "How dare you, a bastard, talk nonsense!"
Fang Jian shook his head at Tang Yu, who then put away his anger and sat down. Then Fang Jian said to the Yu Monkey King, "Okay, this god gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it."
After saying this, Fang Jian took out three elixirs and placed them on a jade table beside him. He then said to Zhou Ji, "Here are the elixirs. Heal his leg and then take him back to wait for the exchange on August 15th."
"I obey the order." Zhou Ji immediately stood up and saluted.
Fang Jian then stood up and said to the eight great saints, "Fellow Daoists, please follow me."
Upon hearing this, the eight great sages immediately turned around and followed Fang Jian.
...
Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and today is the day agreed with Ban Jieshan to exchange hostages.
Fang Jian ordered his men to bring King Yuxiong here early, and then ordered General Fatan and General Pomiao to lead the divine generals to guard Fanqing Peak. Then he took Tang Yu and a hundred divine generals to escort King Yuxiong to Jishuijian.
But Tang Yu was a little confused along the way, and asked Fang Jian: "Sir Shangshu, where did the eight great saints go?"
Fang Jian smiled slightly when he heard this, and when he turned around, he found that King Yuxun also looked up at him after hearing Tang Yu's words, so he said, "I don't know, maybe he went to visit relatives."
Tang Yu seemed to be lost in thought after hearing this. He just glanced at Fang Jian and said nothing more.
The Yuxiong King behind him was speechless. Taiyi Jinxian visiting relatives? Do you think I'm stupid? There must be some conspiracy.
King Yuxun has learned from fragmentary information that the other nine demon kings of Banjie Mountain have captured all the immortal officials of the Amo Kingdom and want to use them in exchange for him.
Today is the date of the exchange, so when King Yuxiong discovered that the Eight Great Sages were not in the exchange team and had disappeared, he knew that Fang Jian must be planning something bad again.
Soon, Fang Jian and his party arrived at the Yishuijian, which is located in the center of Banjie Mountain and Fanqing Peak. It is surrounded by mountains on the east and west, with gurgling water flowing from the north and south. It has beautiful scenery and the sound of birds singing and flowers blooming.
There is a wooden bridge in the middle of the Dishui River, and the specific location where the two sides exchange is on this wooden bridge.
When Fang Jian and his companions arrived at the Dishui Stream, they found that the nine demon kings were already waiting on the wooden bridge. Behind the nine demon kings were demon cultivators all over the mountains and the immortal officials of the Amo Kingdom who were escorted to the shore.
Seeing that Fang Jian only brought one heavenly general and more than a hundred divine generals, the nine demon kings were stunned for a moment, with some doubts in their eyes.
But when they saw Fang Jian and others fall onto the wooden bridge, they quickly reacted and thought to themselves, "What conspiracy does this bastard Fang Jian have?"
"Oh, you're all here." Fang Jian looked at the nine demon kings in front of him and smiled. "This Yishuijian is a great place, with beautiful scenery, clear water and green mountains."
After hearing Fang Jian's words, the Jiao Demon King stepped forward and said directly, "Stop talking nonsense. Where is the Yuxiong King?"
Fang Jian smiled faintly and said to the Jiao Demon King: "You don't even give me this little bit of face. Well, then let's stop talking nonsense. The Yu Monkey King is here."
Fang Jian waved his hand, and four divine generals immediately came forward, escorting the Yuxiong King. The Jiao Demon King took a closer look and said, "Remove the chains and seals from him."
"Hey!" Fang Jian raised his hand and said, "Don't be impatient."
Fang Jian glanced at the immortal officials on the table behind the wooden bridge and said, "I want to examine someone too."
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Demon King turned around and took a look, then nodded and said, "Okay, send someone over to check it out."
Fang Jian said, "I'll come and check it myself."
"Huh?" Hearing Fang Jian's words, the nine demon kings instantly became alert, and all of them looked at Fang Jian with burning eyes.
Good boy, you came here in person? Wouldn't it be great if we could just capture you right away?
All of a sudden, the nine demon kings began to discuss frantically whether they should take this opportunity to capture Fang Jian directly.
The three Buddhas who were paying close attention to the situation in the Yishuijian River also became excited at this moment, thinking that this was an excellent opportunity.
"Agree to let him personally check it out. If you are sure, take this opportunity to capture him directly." The order of Vairocana Buddha was quickly given to the nine demon kings.
After the nine demon kings received the order from Vairocana Buddha in their spirit platform, they immediately followed it.
"Okay." The Jiao Demon King said to Fang Jian, "Since Master Hongqing wants to personally examine it, then we will welcome you. Please come in."
