"My two superiors, that's all he said." Zhou Ye stood in the Mountain God Temple with his back bowed, and spoke cautiously to Xue Jin and Fang Jian.
Fang Jian looked at him and asked, "Are you okay with your injury?"
Zhou Ye was startled when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "It's okay, thank you for your concern, Master Wuxiang only wanted to teach me a lesson, not to kill me. This injury will heal after a few days of recuperation."
Fang Jian nodded and said, "That's good. Thank you for your hard work. The immortal herbs that Hong Yuanhua brought are all in this god's abode."
After saying that, Fang Jian waved his sleeves, and more than a dozen mature immortal herbs that were over three hundred years old flew out of the mountain god's abode in an instant.
Zhou Ye quickly reached out to catch them all, feeling the powerful power of the magic herb in his arms, his face full of excitement.
"Thank you for the gift, Mountain Lord!" Zhou Ye put all the magical herbs into his sleeves, then bowed respectfully.
Fang Jian waved his hand and said, "You can go back first. Come back to the Mountain God Mansion when your injury is healed. From now on, you will be at my service."
When Zhou Ye heard this, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He now had a backer!
So he hurriedly bowed his head to thank him, then bowed to Xue Jin, and then left using the earth escape technique.
After Zhou Ye left, Xue Jin, the Ten Directions Commander, said, "Wu Xiang is so rude, and he even wants to unite the four demon masters to fight against us. What's the plan, Shan Jun?"
Fang Jian smiled and said, "We have the initiative. Since he refuses to drink my toast, we can only serve him a penalty drink."
Fang Jian had just finished speaking when a guard came in and reported, "Deployment Commander, Mountain Lord, a demon cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage has descended from the mountain. He claims to be from the Demon Palace on Mingquan Mountain and is delivering gifts on the orders of Master Wuxiang."
"Oh?" Xue Jin was slightly surprised when he heard that, and then looked at Yu Hou: "You're here so soon?"
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Go and bring him over."
"Yes, sir." Yu Hou clasped his fists and accepted the order, then turned and left.
A moment later, Yu Hou led a young man in white into the mountain god temple. The young man was at the Nascent Soul stage and had a strong demonic aura about him.
All demon cultivators will only shed their demonic aura after becoming immortals. As long as they haven't become immortals, the demonic aura will never be completely shed unless they take the Qingyang Immortal Grass.
However, it is difficult for the Chongxiao Tianhe clan to cultivate the Qingyang Immortal Grass on their own. Even Hong Yuanhua has not taken it yet, so how could it be his turn to take it when he is in the Nascent Soul stage?
"I am the little demon Jin Kaihe, and I am here on the orders of our ancestor, Master Wuxiang, to present a piece of Qingyang Immortal Grass to respectfully welcome the Mountain Lord to take up his post at Duanjie Mountain." Jin Kaihe took out a jade box from his storage bag and presented it with both hands.
Yu Hou, who was standing aside, wanted to step forward to take it, but Fang Jian raised his hand. Seeing this, Yu Hou immediately stepped back.
"When will Wuxiang come to Yuquan Peak to apologize?" Fang Jian asked.
When Jin Kaihe heard this, his expression froze, but he reacted very quickly and replied immediately: "Shan Jun, the ancestor only asked me to come and deliver the gift, and didn't give any other instructions."
What I mean is that I am only responsible for delivering gifts. Don’t ask me about other things because I don’t know.
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately raised his hand and pointed at Jin Kaihe: "Catch him."
'boom'
As soon as Fang Jian finished speaking, Xue Jin, the commander of the Ten Directions, immediately used his own might to suppress Jin Kaihe. In an instant, Jin Kaihe was pinned to the ground by Xue Jin's True Immortal might, unable to move at all.
The fallen jade box containing the Qingyang Immortal Grass flew into the air, but was caught by Fang Jian's magic power.
"Seal his Daoxing and tie him up." Four heavenly soldiers walked in from outside the hall, and Fang Jian pointed at Jin Kaihe who was spitting blood on the ground and said.
The four heavenly soldiers immediately took the order, pulled out iron chains and golden locks, tied up Jin Kaihe, and then attached the demon-suppressing talisman on Jin Kaihe's body, completely sealing his magic power.
Jin Kaihe's face turned pale as he opened his mouth and shouted, "When two countries are at war, envoys are not executed. Besides, my Mingquan Mountain Demon Mansion has not rebelled against the Heavenly Court. Why are you arresting me?"
Fang Jian said coldly, "Hong Yuanhua occupied the Divine Mansion and attacked and killed the immortal officials. If this isn't an act of rebellion against Heaven, what is it? As long as you, the Mingquan Mountain Demon Mansion, are not cleared of this crime, you will remain guilty. Why can't I arrest you? Heavenly soldiers, take my orders, take this man down and tie him up beneath the green pines at the cliffside."
"Yes, sir!" the heavenly soldiers responded in unison.
Jin Kaihe shouted hurriedly, "Then return my magic grass! I came here with the good intentions of the old ancestor, to congratulate the mountain king on his appointment. But the mountain king couldn't tell good from evil and arrested people indiscriminately. Humph, please return the magic grass!"
Fang Jian, holding the jade box, said, "This is stolen property! Stolen property should be taken back by the Mountain God's Mansion."
"Despicable! Shameless!" Jin Kaihe shouted loudly with his face flushed with excitement.
Seeing him dare to insult the immortal official, the heavenly soldiers nearby raised their iron whips to strike him, but were stopped by Fang Jian: "Wait a minute, although he is a member of the Mingquan Mountain demon tribe, he is also a demon cultivator with Taoism skills. You can't insult him willfully."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the heavenly soldier immediately put away his iron whip and responded.
After hearing Fang Jian's words, Jin Kaihe finally stopped cursing and said, "My ancestors have invited King Chongshou, King Tianyin, King Ruichen, and King Xiongming. The envoys and the mountain king had better think carefully and not push them too far."
"Wow, that's really scary!" Fang Jian replied calmly, then waved his sleeves and said, "Take him away."
As Jin Kaihe was led away, Xue Jin asked, "Are they just detaining him like that?"
"Well, I've withheld it. Master Wuxiang is so arrogant. If we don't respond immediately, where will the dignity of our Heavenly Court be?" Fang Jian said slowly.
Xue Jin said, "But Master Wuxiang will send more people."
Fang Jian heard this and said with a smile on his face, "That's great! I'll capture as many as you can. If his entire clan comes, I'll capture the whole clan. This way, we can put an end to the Mingquan Mountain Demon Mansion without bloodshed."
