When Wu Ze heard Wen Zhenru's words, his eyes lit up. He had come to serve under the Yuanhe Jiedu Mansion for the sake of profit. Now that he had a better place and a better future, why not go?
Thinking of this, Wu Ze immediately took over Wen Zhenru's imperial edict, then bowed and said, "Thank you, Judge Tian. Wu Ze accepts your order."
Wen Zhenru nodded, then said to Kang Heng beside him, "Whatever robbery jades there are in the Jiedu Mansion, distribute them all to these independent cultivators."
Upon hearing this, Kang Heng immediately nodded and accepted the order.
Then Wen Zhenru said to Wu Ze, "You have taken the Jieyu Jade. You can leave or stay. If you want to leave, just practice diligently and don't do evil. If you want to stay, go and serve the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. You will have a bright future in the future."
Wu Ze couldn't help but be moved when he heard this. He didn't expect that the harsh and cold Judge Tian would have such a friendly side. Wu Ze bowed again to express his gratitude, then returned to the 50,000 wandering cultivators and told them everything Wen Zhenru said.
Soon, the training ground was filled with the voices of the wandering cultivators shouting "Long live the Heavenly Court!" Wen Zhenru did not delay any longer and spent another day to settle the affairs of Yuanhe Jiedu Mansion and Yuanhe Immortal City. Then he led 10,000 heavenly soldiers and left Yuanhe Immortal City with all the precious materials confiscated from the Jiedu Mansion.
The 50,000 independent cultivators who had received the robbery jade, led by Wu Ze, sent off Wen Zhenru and others, and then set off on their own to Beishubu Continent.
...
Half a month later, Wen Zhenru finally arrived at Tianji Mountain, the headquarters of the Shuxian Sect, with 10,000 heavenly soldiers escorting 110,000 captives.
The head of the Shuxian Sect came to welcome him personally. All the great elders, elders, and disciples of the first generation of the Shuxian Sect were present. Except for the fact that Patriarch Tianshu was not there, it could be said that the event was quite grand.
"Where is Tianshu Heavenly King?" After the greetings, Wen Zhenru asked Pang Lingzi.
Pang Lingzi smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Heavenly King is waiting for the Heavenly Judge on Feiyun Terrace."
Wen Zhenru asked again, "Why don't you come to the mountain gate to welcome me in person? Do you look down on me?"
Pang Lingzi was stunned. He didn't expect Wen Zhenru to speak so directly and without any effort to save face.
It's not wrong to say that they look down on you. After all, you are just a cultivator in the celestial realm. Even if you are a celestial judge, you are not worthy of a Daluo Jinxian coming to greet you at the mountain gate.
But Pang Lingzi couldn't say such words, so he could only smile and say, "What are you saying, Judge Tian? The Heavenly King doesn't care about worldly affairs. I am the head of the Pivot Immortal Sect, so it's natural for me to come and welcome Judge Tian."
Wen Zhenru raised her eyebrows and said, "Ignore worldly affairs? If you don't care about worldly affairs, then why don't you ask for the title of Heavenly King? If you want to be crowned, but you don't want to care about worldly affairs, then why bother? I don't support idle people in the Heavenly Court."
Pang Lingzi's face was slightly grim. He bowed to Wen Zhenru and said, "Judge Tian is wrong. My ancestor sought the title of Heavenly King because he wanted to guard the Southern Shubu Continent for the Heavenly Court. He never sought any fame or reputation."
Wen Zhenru said: "You know a person's face but not his heart."
There was really no more to say after this point. It was the first time Pang Lingzi had met such a person, and he felt quite tormented and speechless.
Pang Lingzi said solemnly, "Why does the Heavenly Judge say this? My ancestor was conferred the title of 'Heavenly King' by the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Judge insulted him like this. Isn't this slandering the Heavenly Official? Doesn't this violate Heavenly Law?"
Wen Zhenru said, "Then prove that the Tianshu Heavenly King's request for the title from the Heavenly Court was truly solely for the purpose of guarding the Southern Shu Continent for the Heavenly Court, and that he had no other intentions? Do you dare to make the Tianshu Heavenly King swear an oath with his Daoist heart?"
Of course Pang Lingzi didn't dare, because Tianshu Patriarch's request for the title itself had no good intentions. Guarding Nanshu Continent for the Heavenly Court? That was just an excuse he came up with on the spur of the moment.
So Pang Lingzi didn't want to pretend anymore and asked directly, "Tianjianzhan, you came to my Shuxian Sect this time to find my Tianwang, didn't you?"
Wen Zhenru said, "I have been ordered to come to the Shuxian Sect to rectify the Heavenly Law. If your Heavenly King does anything wrong, he will inevitably be punished by the Heavenly Law."
Pang Lingzi said, "My Heavenly King is a Daluo Golden Immortal, transcendent and above the world. How could he possibly violate the laws of Heaven?"
This sentence contains a warning: My king is a Daluo Jinxian, please don't go too far, otherwise...
Wen Zhenru said, "Really? I don't believe it!"
Pang Lingzi's breath was stiffened. This Heavenly Judge was really stubborn. The welcoming ceremony had turned into such an embarrassing situation. Pang Lingzi couldn't help but feel angry.
Pang Lingzi's words were filled with anger. He looked at Wen Zhenru and said, "Judge Tian, what exactly do you want to do?"
Wen Zhenru said, "I didn't mean to do anything. I just wanted to ask why Tianshu Tianwang didn't come to greet me personally."
Since Pang Lingzi was done pretending, he stopped and said directly, "The Heavenly King doesn't want to come. It's against the rules and not in keeping with one's status for a Daluo Jinxian to greet a celestial immortal."
Wen Zhenru laughed when she heard this and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? So that's how it is. Now I understand. Where are we going to eat next?"
Pang Lingzi: “..........”
Pang Lingzi then adjusted his hard face, forced a smile, and said, "A banquet has been set up on Feiyun Terrace. Judge Tian, please come and join us."
Wen Zhenru pointed to the ten thousand heavenly soldiers behind him and said, "I still have ten thousand heavenly soldiers here."
Pang Lingzi nodded and said, "Everything has been arranged. Please rest assured, Judge Tian."
Wen Zhenru finally nodded in satisfaction, then raised his hand and said, "Please allow Sect Leader Pang and the others to lead the way."
Pang Lingzi and the elders and disciples behind him all had ashen faces, wishing they could slap Wen Zhenru to death right away, but they could only think about it. Before Patriarch Tianshu spoke, they didn't dare to make any move.
