Outside the Immortal Palace of the Haolan Realm Divine Mansion, the six chief priests of the Tianshi Mansion, Wang Zhonghu, Yuan Zhongying, Peng Zhongkai, Huang Zhongwu, Ding Zhongyuan, and Zhao Zhongxin, stood side by side at the front. Behind them were thirty-four Xuanxians of the Tianshi Mansion and two hundred and six True Immortal disciples of the first generation.
They also held the Taoist flag of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and waved the titles of the Four Heavenly Masters. Led by the six chief priests, they continuously shouted in unison, "We respectfully invite the Great Heavenly Master back to the mansion!"
The sound of hundreds of people shouting together was still very loud, and it spread throughout the entire divine palace.
But Ke Mengqing had already led 10,000 heavenly soldiers to guard outside the Shenfu Immortal Palace to prevent the people from the Tianshi Mansion from attacking the Shenfu Immortal Palace.
Mei Xianzhang, who was sent by Fang Jian to help Ke Mengqing defend the Immortal Palace, stood on the jade steps in front of the palace gate with a plum branch in his hand, looking quietly at the monks from the Tianshi Mansion who were shouting and demonstrating outside.
Amidst the shouts of the Tianshifu monks outside, Ke Mengqing approached Mei Xianzhang and smiled at her, "What's wrong? Have you never seen such a scene before?"
"..." Mei Xianzhang smiled and said, "If we're just talking about the number of people, I've seen even larger scenes than this. Back when I passed the imperial examination in the mortal world, I had an audience with the emperor in the Golden Palace. Tens of thousands of civil and military officials gathered outside the Hanyuan Hall in the Daming Palace to pay homage to the emperor. That scene was much larger than this."
Ke Mengqing was startled when he heard this and asked, "Did you take the imperial examination in the human world? How were your results?"
"Not very good, just a third place in the imperial examination." Mei Xianzhang said with a smile.
"Tanhua Lang!" Ke Mengqing was slightly surprised. This is the third place in the first class. The first place is Zhuangyuan, the second place is Bangyan, and the third place is Tanhua Lang.
Ke Mengqing exclaimed in admiration, "Incredible! I never thought that Master Hongqing's disciple was also a top scholar."
Mei Xianzhang smiled subtly, then pointed at the cultivators from the Tianshi Mansion outside and said, "Uncle Ke, these people won't cause any trouble, right?"
Ke Mengqing turned his head and glanced at the monks outside the Tianshi Mansion, then asked Mei Xianzhang, "Do you know your master?"
Mei Xianzhang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Well... I didn't spend much time with him."
Ke Mengqing understood what Mei Xianzhang meant. Since they didn't spend much time together, that meant they didn't know each other well.
Ke Mengqing smiled faintly and said to Mei Xianzhang, "Don't worry, with your master here, no one can turn the tables."
At this moment, a captain came to Ke Mengqing and reported, "Sir, they are about to break through the gate."
Ke Mengqing turned his head and saw that the monks from the Tianshi Mansion were shouting slogans and walking towards the gate of the Tianshi Mansion Temple.
Ke Mengqing's expression darkened immediately, and he said, "Pass the order down! Anyone who dares to come within ten steps of the Jade Steps of the Divine Palace will be killed!"
"Yes." The captain bowed and turned to pass on the order.
While Ke Mengqing was dealing with the monks from the Tianshi Mansion outside the Divine Palace, Liu Yu, Zhang Huan and Qiu Yang were brought before Fang Jian in the center of the main hall of the Divine Palace, but their restraints had been removed.
When Liu Yu raised his head and looked at Fang Jian who was sitting high in the hall, he couldn't help but feel dazed. He suddenly remembered the time when Fang Jian was in charge of the authority of Tianshi Mansion and led them to fight against the heretics and demons.
"Master Hongqing," Liu Yu called out in a clear voice, "It's been ages since we last met. How have you been lately?"
Fang Jian smiled faintly, looked at Liu Yu and said, "I am fine, how is my wife?"
"Okay." Liu Yu nodded and said, "My son has grown up and married. It's time for me to enjoy my old age..."
Fang Jian sneered, "Enjoy your old age? I'm afraid you're being insincere, aren't you?"
"..." Liu Yu paused for a moment, then forced a laugh and said, "Master Hongqing, you really shouldn't interfere in the affairs of my Tianshi Mansion."
Fang Jian didn't argue with Liu Yu about this meaningless matter. Instead, he cast his gaze on Zhang Huan, who looked defiant, and said, "When I left the Haolan Realm, you were just a child, spoiled in your mother's arms. I never thought you'd become such a prominent figure now."
"Hmph." Zhang Huan snorted coldly and said, "Master Hongqing, you have indeed helped my Tianshi Mansion to rebuild, but today
You really went too far.”
"Asshole!" Hearing this, Luo Tao on the side suddenly shouted, "Even the Four Heavenly Masters wouldn't speak like this in front of Master Hongqing. Who do you think you are? How dare you speak so rudely!"
"You!!!" Zhang Huan was stunned. He had never imagined that the Divine Lord Luo Tao, who had always been so polite and kind to him, would actually dare to scold him like that?
A look of shame and anger appeared on his cheeks. Zhang Huan was about to shout back, but suddenly he saw Fang Jian's gaze fall on his wife Qiu Yang again.
Fang Jian looked at Qiu Yang with a cold gaze and said, "Are you going to reveal yourself, or am I going to help you reveal yourself?"
The next moment, all eyes in the hall fell on Qiu Yang, even Liu Yu and Zhang Huan looked at Qiu Yang.
Qiu Yang was extremely flustered when facing the gazes of her husband and mother-in-law, but she still had some hope.
Then Qiu Yang looked at Fang Jian with his head held high and chest puffed out, saying, "Master Hongqing, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Hearing Qiu Yang's words, Zhang Huan immediately walked up to her and said, "Master Hongqing, Qiu Yang is my wife. I won't allow anyone to hurt her."
But Fang Jian sneered and said to Qiu Yang, "In this way, I will let you die with a clear conscience."
As soon as he finished speaking, a divine light appeared between Fang Jian's eyebrows, and in an instant, the Eight Scenes Divine Light was released from between Fang Jian's eyebrows, shining directly on Qiu Yang's body.
The next moment, Qiu Yang let out a cry of surprise, and all the restrictions on his magical powers were broken, revealing his true form in an instant.
