Thirty golden lights flew into the sky, and then the pressure of thirty golden immortals enveloped the sky above Luhu Mountain.
These Golden Immortals looked up and saw rumbling thunder and flashing lightning in the sky. Against the backdrop of thunder and lightning, a young immortal official wearing a Qingxia Yudou Qilin robe was standing on the cloud, quietly watching the people in the Zhenyang Taoist Palace below.
The thirty Golden Immortals of the Zhenyang Dao Palace looked up at the young immortal official, their expressions changing in unison, "Master Hongqing?!"
Fang Jian bowed to the crowd below, then spoke, "The Zhenyang Dao Palace is suing Tianfa Guan Jian for abusing his power, arresting Zhenyang Dao Palace disciples without cause, and colluding with the Dongtian Prefecture's altar-breaking and temple-destroying generals to damage the Zhenyang Dao Palace's branch altars and temples. This deity has come to investigate this case on the orders of the Grand Envoy and the Master of Xunqing Academy."
"..." The thirty Golden Immortals looked at each other in bewilderment. They had thought of all kinds of possible situations, but they had never expected the situation before them.
Let the official judge of Tianfa investigate the guilt of the official judge of Tianfa. This... Great Master, how can you be so confused!
"Huh?" Fang Jian looked at the awkward and confused expressions on everyone's faces and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you? Don't you want to welcome me?"
Yuan Wuwo immediately reacted and bowed, saying, "It turns out to be Master Hongqing. Master Hongqing, thank you for your hard work. Please come into the mountain and talk to the hall."
"Okay." Fang Jian nodded slightly, then retracted his thunder technique, flew up and transformed into a beam of fairy light, falling towards Mount Luhu.
Yuan Wuwo immediately said to Lan Yan, "Go and report to the Grandmaster quickly."
Lan Yan nodded, then immediately turned into a golden light and fell towards the outside of the ancestral hall.
The other twenty-nine Golden Immortals followed Fang Jian to the outside of the Zhenyang Palace on Mount Luhu, and Yuan Wuwo led the way in welcoming Fang Jian into the Zhenyang Palace.
"Master Hongqing, please take a seat." Yuan Wuwo, together with Master Qianyuan, Master Kunyuan and others, pointed to the top seat in Zhenyang Hall and said.
Fang Jian glanced at the location and said bluntly, "Okay."
Then he just stepped forward and his body flew to the first seat and sat down cross-legged.
After he sat down, he twisted his body a bit and said in surprise, "Huh? There's no formation, barrier, or any other traps?"
"..." The twenty-nine Golden Immortals present all looked gloomy, and Fairy Yusu said with dissatisfaction, "Why do you say that, Master Hongqing?"
Fang Jian glanced at Fairy Yusu and immediately asked, "What is your name, fellow Taoist?"
"Yusu." Fairy Yusu said lightly with a bow.
Fang Jian nodded, then smiled at the people in front of him and said, "Fellow Daoist Yusu is indeed as pure as jade and as clean as white!"
Fairy Yusu raised her eyebrows. Fang Jian was clearly mocking her as a childish little girl who had never seen the world. She was about to lose her temper, but was immediately stopped by Yang Jin behind her.
"Don't act without the master's explicit order." Yang Jin said in a low voice.
Fairy Yusu frowned, but did not take any drastic action. She just glanced at Fang Jian lightly and turned her head away.
Fang Jian smiled faintly, then raised his hand and said to everyone, "Please sit down and relax. You're welcome."
"..." As soon as these words were spoken, the Golden Immortals present were speechless again. This is clearly the main hall of our Zhenyang Taoist Palace, why does it seem like we are guests in your home?
Then everyone immediately flew to their respective seats and sat down. Then, Master Qianyuan spoke first and asked, "Master Hongqing, may I ask how you will deal with the abuse of power by Master Hongqing?"
Fang Jian took out the case file and asked, "Was this complaint against Master Hongqing filed by the Zhenyang Dao Palace? Or was it filed by some of you?"
Yuan Wuwo asked in surprise, "Excuse me, Master Hongqing, is there any difference?"
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Of course there is a difference. If it was the Zhenyang Dao Palace who committed the crime, I will hold the Zhenyang Dao Palace responsible. If it was some of you who committed the crime, then I will only hold the responsibility for these people. This will make it easier to have a list when we settle accounts in the future, right?"
After Fang Jian finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone looked at Fang Jian in astonishment, as if they had heard it wrongly.
"Hahaha." Fang Jian saw the expressions of the crowd and laughed out loud: "Don't be nervous, everyone. This god is just joking to ease the tense atmosphere! As a judge of heaven, how could this god do such a thing? So everyone, please be careful.
Don’t be shy.”
"If you have any opinions about me, please raise them in person. I never offend anyone because of words, and I will humbly accept criticism from others."
"As the old saying goes: Anyone who stabs this god in the face will be imprisoned in Lei Ze for a period of between one hundred and one thousand years."
"Please feel free to speak your mind."
After Fang Jian finished speaking, the entire hall was still silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Fang Jian was very confused and asked, "Fellow Daoists, why are you all silent?"
Master Kunyuan looked at Fang Jian with a melancholy expression and said, "Master Hongqing, we have nothing to say."
"No way?!" Fang Jian looked very confused and pointed at the case file in his hand and said, "How can there be nothing to say? Doesn't it say a lot?"
Seeing that the Zhenyang Dao Palace was constantly being suppressed by Fang Jian, Yuan Wuwo immediately stood up and said, "Master Hongqing, this is different. We are accusing you of abusing your power and detaining my disciples without any evidence."
Fang Jian said, "Where has this God abused his authority?"
Yuan Wuwo asked, "Master Hongqing, on what basis can you, relying on the evidence of Qu Can, arrest all the disciples of my Xingcheng branch and bring them back to the Thunder Department to be imprisoned?"
"They are all suspects." Fang Jian said.
Yuan Wuwo asked, "Where's the evidence? Honestly, Master Hongqing, it's been so long, where's the evidence against the others?"
"We're checking." Fang Jian said.
Yuan Wuwo asked, "Did you find out?"
"Until everything comes to light, the progress of evidence must be kept secret." Fang Jian said.
Yuan Wuwo sneered and said, "So you haven't found anything yet?"
"We're checking." Fang Jian said calmly.
"Have you found any evidence of the crime?" Yuan Wuwo continued to ask.
"Keep it secret!" Fang Jian reiterated.
“…”
Seeing that the two were about to fall into a vicious cycle, the people on the sidelines said hurriedly: "Master Hongqing, Brother Yuandao, wait a minute."
Fang Jian and Yuan Wuwo simultaneously looked at Master Qianyuan, who said, "Master Hongqing, we understand that finding evidence will take time. However, the Heavenly Court is the ruler of the Three Realms, and the Heavenly Court upholds the laws of Heaven to uphold justice. Since there's no evidence, I think we might as well release Mingsu and the others first. We can arrest them later when we find evidence."
Fang Jian glanced at Master Qianyuan, then nodded and said, "Let me think about it."
"Thank you, Master Hongqing." Master Qianyuan said hurriedly with a bow.
Fang Jian then raised the case file in his hand and said, "Then let's discuss the charges against me in detail."
Everyone's expressions froze immediately. They understood that the main course was about to be served.
