"Demon Master Kunpeng." Fang Jian muttered to himself, then said to Yuan Xinyan, "I'm not a demon immortal. He's not qualified to let me receive the imperial edict."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xinyan raised her eyebrows and said sternly, "The Demon Master is a super-rank official of the Heavenly Court. How can he not be qualified?"
Fang Jian sneered and said, "Super-rank official? Never mind that he is just a nominal super-rank official. Even if a true emperor were here, he wouldn't dare to speak to me like that."
As Fang Jian finished speaking, a golden light suddenly flashed between his eyebrows. After the golden light flew out, it instantly turned into a purple talisman that floated in the air.
As soon as the purple talisman appeared, an immense divine power instantly enveloped the main hall inside and outside.
The majesty of heaven was awe-inspiring and all-encompassing. Yuan Xinyan felt his heart stagnate, and then a feeling of fear arose from the depths of his soul.
She stared at the purple imperial edict in horror, and heard Fang Jian say, "This deity, following the order of the Four Great Emperors, has descended to Northern Juluzhou with the Mysterious Purple Star Talisman to preside over the laws of heaven, to administer punishments and execute those on behalf of heaven. Who are you? Holding a copy of the fictitious imperial edict to seal off officials, you expect me to accept it?"
After saying this, Fang Jian glanced at Yuan Xinyan calmly and said, "Go back and tell the demon master that I, Fang Jian, am a fourth-rank immortal official of the Heavenly Court, entrusted with the administration of the laws of Heaven. I am not his follower to be summoned and dismissed at will. Tell him to crawl as far as he can. Do you understand?"
"What did you say?" Even though she was frightened by the might of the Purple Star Mysterious Talisman, upon hearing Fang Jian being so rude to Kunpeng, Yuan Xinyan immediately glared at Fang Jian and shouted in a timid tone.
At this time, the Grass-Headed God beside him reminded Fang Jian, "Lord God, the demon master has great magical powers. He can swim in the sea and fly in the sky. He cannot crawl."
Fang Jian nodded in sudden realization upon hearing this, then looked at Yuan Xinyan and said, "Then let him fly as far as he can!"
"You!!!" Yuan Xinyan shouted angrily, and finally she could no longer suppress her anger.
She roared, and then a fairy light flashed around her, and a purple jade dragon-carved sword immediately appeared in her hand.
As the purple jade dragon-carved sword appeared in Yuan Xinyan's hand, Fang Jian's mind turned, and the Purple Star Mysterious Talisman immediately turned into golden light and flew back to Fang Jian's brow.
Fang Jian, however, sat steadily on the sandalwood chair, looking at the furious Yuan Xinyan with a half-smile and said, "You want to kill me?"
As he spoke, Fang Jian leaned forward slightly, and said in a 'kind' voice, "Assaulting a Celestial Official is a capital crime punishable by physical and spiritual destruction. You will be executed on the Immortal Execution Platform."
When Yuan Xinyan heard Fang Jian's words, she felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her, and she immediately calmed down.
She glanced coldly at Fang Jian, who was sitting there without any fear, but a trace of cold sweat broke out on her back.
She almost forgot that the man in front of her was the ruthless man who had seized the magic weapon of Vairocana Tathagata and suppressed Bodhisattva Baotanhua.
Yuan Xinyan stopped herself at the last moment and immediately put away her talisman, the purple jade dragon-carved sword. She then put away the imperial edict and bowed to Fang Jian, saying, "Since Lord Hongqing refuses to obey my edict, I will report the truth to His Majesty the Demon Emperor and the Supreme Demon Master upon my return to the Demon Court."
"Whatever." Fang Jian brushed off his robe lightly, then turned his head to look at the Grass Head God standing beside him, and gave him a voice message.
The grass-headed god was slightly startled, but soon bowed and replied, "Yes, Lord God." Then he left the main hall.
Fang Jian then said to Yuan Xinyan, "Since you are leaving, please bring some gifts for the Demon Master to congratulate him on his attainment of Daluo."
Yuan Xinyan was a little bit incredulous when she heard this. She thought she had heard it wrong. Otherwise, why would Fang Jian, who was so rude just now, suddenly want to give a gift to the demon master?
But when the grass-headed god came back with a sandalwood box, he handed the box to Fang Jian.
After Fang Jian took the wooden box, he pinched his fingers and activated lightning, then sealed the opening of the box with a lightning seal. He then waved it over to Yuan Xinyan and said, "This is a little specialty I obtained in Luanling Province. I'm offering it to the Buddha. Please help me give it to the Demon Master as a gift as a congratulations."
Yuan Xinyan was stunned for a while before she came to her senses and reached out to catch the wooden box.
The wooden box was not big, and it looked like it could hold ten scriptures, but Yuan Xinyan clearly felt that the things inside the wooden box were definitely not scriptures.
However, Fang Jian had sealed the opening of the wooden box with a thunder seal, so her spiritual thoughts could not penetrate it, and so she could not find out what was inside.
However, since it was a gift from Fang Jian to the Demon Master, she had to keep it carefully.
After Yuan Xinyan put away the wooden box, she bowed to Fang Jian and said, "In that case, I will pass the gift on. I will take my leave now."
Fang Jian nodded slightly, then turned to the grass-headed god and said, "Please send this... Oh, the Minister of the Demon Master's Mansion off for me."
The Grass Head God bowed and accepted the order, saying, "Yes."
...
Not long after Yuan Xinyan left, Fang Jian hadn't even finished his cup of spiritual tea when a grass-headed deity guarding the gate of the Mercy Temple hurried into the main hall and said to Fang Jian, "Your Majesty, the elder of the Huanzhou Sect, Lord Dao'an, requests an audience."
"Lord Dao'an?" Fang Jian was slightly surprised when he heard this. This was a rare thing.
Compared with Ding Xinglan, Lord Dao'an is the direct descendant of Master Lingxu, but he survived in the end because of Ding Xinglan's protection.
This Lord Dao'an did not like to practice self-cultivation, but he liked human civilization very much. He often dressed himself like a scholar in the human world.
Such an outlier among the demon clan naturally had little interaction with Fang Jian.
So when Fang Jian heard that Lord Dao'an wanted to see him, he was naturally very surprised.
"Let him in." Fang Jian said.
