When Xu Jiong and Yuan Dao returned to the main hall of Qingyuan Heavenly Palace to report, Fang Jian was holding the Heavenly Jade Slip in his hand and looking at it. Jiuzhen Tianjun was also sitting at the top and talking with Master Taihua.
"Greetings to the Heavenly Emperor." The two of them came to the center of the hall and bowed.
Jiuzhen Tianjun withdrew his gaze, then looked at the two of them and asked, "Where is Fan Heng?"
Fang Jian also put away the Heavenly Law Jade Slip and looked at the two of them.
Xu Jiong then said, "Your Majesty, when we arrived at the Gucang Temple on Jianda Mountain, the temple was already closed and the ordination ceremony was in progress."
"Where is Fan Heng?" Jiuzhen Tianjun asked again.
Xu Jiong said, "We asked the monk at the gate of Gucang Temple, and he only said that Fan Heng had never been to Gucang Temple. We then asked him to ask the abbot or elders to come out and answer the questions, but the monk only said that the abbot and elders were ordaining a new brother. We dared not take any action on our own, so we returned to report this and ask the Heavenly Lord to make his decision."
After hearing this, Jiuzhen Tianjun frowned slightly and was about to speak, but Fang Jian interrupted him.
"Have you seen Fan Heng?" Fang Jian asked the two of them.
When Jiuzhen Tianjun saw Fang Jian spoke before him, he clicked his tongue and listened quietly.
Xu Jiong and Yuan Dao shook their heads upon hearing this, and Yuan Dao said, "I haven't seen it."
Fang Jian asked, "Did you see Fan Heng go to Gucang Temple in the Heavenly Eye Mirror?"
"Yes." The two nodded.
Fang Jian pointed at the Heavenly Principle Jade Slip in his hand and asked, "So you went outside the Gucang Temple and asked a few questions, a monk at the mountain gate answered a few questions, and then you came back?"
The two of them changed their expressions slightly, but still nodded and said, "Yes."
Fang Jian stood up abruptly, his eyes turning icy cold. "I told you to capture Fan Heng! I didn't tell you to go for an outing!"
"Replying to Master Hongqing, the abbot of Gucang Temple is a disciple of Bodhisattva Baotanhua..."
But before Xu Jiong could finish his words, Fang Jian interrupted him: "Who are you?"
"?" Xu Jiong was stunned and asked doubtfully, "What does Master Hongqing mean?"
Fang Jian said coldly: "Let me ask you, who are you?"
"I..." Xu Jiong was stunned and had no idea how to answer.
At this time, Master Taihua in the back said, "They are the messenger from Dongtian Prefecture and the general who attacked the altar."
Xu Jiong and Yuan Dao finally reacted, their faces stiffened, and then they lowered their heads slightly.
Fang Jian waved his hand and said, "They are not anymore."
Xu Jiong and Yuan Dao suddenly looked up, only to see Fang Jian looking at them and saying, "You two, hand over the Immortal Official Jade Disc."
The two of them looked at each other with dissatisfaction, their expressions suddenly changed, their eyes darkened, and they looked at Fang Jian with great dissatisfaction.
"Hand over the Immortal Official Jade Disc." Fang Jian said again.
Xu Jiong and Yuan Dao finally became angry. Yuan Dao said, "Master Hongqing, we are second-rank immortal officials in the Heavenly Court. You don't have this authority!"
Fang Jian said coldly, "I now suspect that you, as immortal officials, are secretly interacting with the Buddhist sect. Before I investigate thoroughly, you must hand over the Immortal Official Jade Disc."
Xu Jiong laughed angrily and asked, "Which article in the Immortal Official Law says that immortal officials cannot interact with Buddhists?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian picked up the Heavenly Principle Jade Slip in his hand, wiped it with his magic power, and said, "Don't you have it? Then I'll write one now. Okay, now that I have it, you two should hand over the Immortal Official Jade Slip."
The two of them stared with their eyes wide open. This was so absurd that Yuan Dao roared, "Your own writing can also count?"
Fang Jian ignored the two of them and turned to Jiuzhen Tianjun and said, "Tianjun, does what I wrote count?"
"Yes." Jiuzhen Tianjun was fully aware of the authority of the Heavenly Court. He raised his hand, pointed at Xu Jiong and Yuan Dao, and said, "The Heavenly Judges of the Heavenly Court do have this power. If Zhenren Hongqing demands that I hand over the Immortal Official Jade Disc now in the name of the Heavenly Law, I must do so."
Xu Jiong and Yuan Dao were shocked for a moment. They had hardly any contact with the Heavenly Court. They were sent to the East Heavenly Palace to take up positions shortly after becoming immortals, so they were not really clear about the authority of the Heavenly Court.
But the two were still preparing to resist, when Xu Jiong said, "We are innocent!"
Yuan Dao also said, "We have served in Dongtian Prefecture for over three thousand years and have made countless contributions, both great and small. Why are we being stripped of our positions just because of this incident?"
'boom'
Just as the two men finished speaking, two lightning bolts as thick as buckets suddenly fell from the hall and hit the two men directly. In an instant, their bodies froze, their skin and flesh were burnt, and they fell to the ground with black smoke coming out.
Fang Jian retracted his right palm, glanced at Xu Jiong and Yuan Dao who were knocked unconscious by his sword fire thunder, then clenched his palm and summoned the Heavenly Law Golden Talisman.
The Jiuzhen Tianjun at the top still had a calm expression, while Master Taihua smiled bitterly and shook his head.
After a while, the golden talisman of Heavenly Law in Fang Jian's hand flashed with golden light, and a mysterious meaning flashed through it, and then disappeared.
Fang Jian stood with his hands behind his back, while General Po Miao beside him was really restless. The General Fan Heng was suspected of fleeing for fear of punishment, and the envoy and General Fa Tan were arrested for dereliction of duty. Now he was the only one left among the four great generals of Dongtian Prefecture. How could he sit still?
About thirty breaths after Fang Jian had sacrificed the Heavenly Law Golden Talisman, bursts of thunder erupted outside Dongtian Mansion. Then, a resounding voice reached everyone's ears: "From the Divine Thunder Jade Mansion, General Lei Zhenzi, the Nine Heavenly Thunder Lord, has led 30,000 thunder soldiers to assist at the order of Judge Tian. May I ask where Judge Tian is?"
When Jiuzhen Tianjun heard Lei Zhenzi's voice, he immediately said to the general of the personal guards, "Quickly go and invite General Jiutian Leigong into the palace."
"Obey the order." The general of the royal guard immediately walked out of the hall.
A moment later, the general of the personal guards came in, leading a mighty immortal official with a face as blue as indigo, hair like cinnabar, eyes as bright as fire, fangs protruding from his lips, a long thunder god mouth, a body two meters tall, and a body the color of water.
