Fairy Xiyue was shocked, but after the shock subsided, she hurriedly said, "Master Hongqing, my master is He Xiangu, one of the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave! Please, for my master's sake, don't bother with me..."
After saying this, Fairy Xiyue revealed a pitiful and sad expression.
Fang Jian said calmly, "So you're He Xiangu's disciple. However, you've bribed the immortal officials of the underworld and arbitrarily helped extend the lifespan of mortals. This has already violated the laws of heaven and underworld. Not only you, but even your master, He Xiangu, will be implicated. Now, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it at the Three Realms Inspection Office."
...
The underworld, the Yangpan Palace.
The Soul-Catching Judge is an official under the jurisdiction of King Qin Guang of the First Hall. His job is to assist Judge Cui in managing the life and death of living people and arranging ghost officials to capture the souls of living people.
There are three judges in the Soul-Catching Court. The first is Judge Zhao Yin, the second is Judge Wu Ze, and the third is Judge Sun Yu.
At this time, the three judges were sitting in their respective offices, busy checking the lifespans of the living in the world, and then registering those mortals whose lifespans were about to end, and assigning them to ghost messengers to go and capture their souls on schedule.
At this moment, a ghost messenger hurried into the Yangpan Hall and came to the room where Judge Wu of Wuzhe was working. He said, "Judge Wu, King Qinguang has summoned you to the First Hall to see the emperor immediately."
Judge Wu raised his head upon hearing this, his brows slightly furrowed, somewhat puzzled. Normally, if there was nothing important, the ten Yama Kings would not summon an audience at this time.
And even if he wanted to see someone, it would be impossible for him to see only him.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhe felt a surge of uneasiness in his heart. He was already very uneasy yesterday because he had collected the Penglai grass and solved a murder case. Now, when he heard that King Qin Guang had summoned him, the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
At this moment, the ghost messenger spoke again, "Judge Wu, King Qin Guang orders you to appear before him immediately in the First Hall."
Judge Wu came to his senses and was in a state of panic. However, he could not think carefully at this moment. He could only stand up immediately and said to the ghost messenger, "I'll go right away."
When Judge Wu followed the ghost messenger to the first hall, he found that the judgment of ghosts from the mortal world had been suspended. Instead, all the gods of the underworld, from King Qin Guang to the four great judges, were sitting upright or standing solemnly in the hall.
Judge Wu was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, then he immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I am Wu Zhe, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to King Qin Guang."
But the voice that he imagined asking him to "stand up" did not sound, and Judge Wu continued to salute. The atmosphere in the entire First Hall had become extremely stagnant, and Judge Wu himself began to sweat coldly.
At this moment, a few shouts suddenly sounded behind him. Judge Wu glanced towards the entrance of the first hall out of the corner of his eye, and saw the two main gods of the underworld, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, escorting two ghost officials into the hall.
The two ghost officials were wearing shackles and staggering, and they were still begging for forgiveness.
The moment Judge Wu saw the faces of the two ghost officials clearly, he was struck by lightning, his face turned pale, and his body began to tremble violently.
Because the two ghost officials with shackles and chains were Han Gao and Jiang Tong!
