"Master Hongqing, please spare my life."
"Master Hongqing, please spare my life."
"We are really forced by the ten demon kings and have to come here."
"We are willing to obey the power of God and never rebel in the future."
"I am willing to obey the power of God and never rebel!"
Fang Jian stood on top of the clouds, looking quietly at the 640,000 little demons below.
The Yin soldiers in the distance had gathered all the ghosts and sealed them on the ghost carriage. The Lingchuan Ghost King immediately ordered: "Return to the underworld quickly."
"Master Ghost King, why are you in such a hurry?" The ghost general on the side asked the Lingchuan Ghost King.
Lingchuan Ghost King glanced at the Beishan Mountains of Banjie Mountain, and then said: "Go back early, maybe we will come back again."
"Probably not." The ghost general said: "If Master Hongqing wanted to kill those little demons, he would have killed them with these big demons a long time ago. Why would he leave them alone?"
Hearing this, the Ghost King of Lingchuan immediately said to the Ghost General: "What you said makes sense, but it is better to return to the underworld as soon as possible. I am not worried about so many demons and immortal souls."
When the ghost general heard this, he immediately said to the ghost king of Lingchuan: "The ghost king is wise, and my subordinates understand."
As the 50,000 Yin soldiers returned to the underworld, the huge gate of hell was suddenly closed. Then the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and Banjie Mountain once again restored the scenery of the Yang world. Of course, if there were not corpses and rivers of blood all over the mountains and plains.
"You are rebellious and should have been killed on the spot." Fang Jian stood on the clouds and looked at the hundreds of thousands of little demons below.
When the little demons heard this, they all kowtowed and begged Fang Jian for mercy.
"Quiet!" Tang Yu shouted loudly from the side.
Following Tang Yu's loud shout, the little demons below suddenly trembled, then closed their mouths and became quiet.
At this time, Fang Jian said again: "But since I am the Minister of Xitian Mansion, I am like the father of all living beings in Xitian Mansion. I have killed all the evil leaders and associates of the demons who rebelled in Banjie Mountain. You are guilty of coercion and obedience." It deserves to be taken lightly.”
"But the crime of death can be avoided, but the crime of living cannot be escaped." Fang Jian looked at these little demons and said: "Each of you will be punished with a shortened life span of thirty years, and will be charged with hard labor in the West Tianfu for fifty years, in order to forgive your sins."
Hearing Fang Jian's verdict, all the little demons present immediately felt like they were going to survive a disaster, and then all the little demons knelt down and kowtowed to Fang Jian to thank him.
Fang Jian looked at the little demons below who kept kowtowing to express gratitude, and said again: "You must follow the guidance of the general and go to the Ancient Qiu Temple to gather. There must be no mistakes. Anyone who is late will be killed!"
"Yes." The 640,000 little demons responded in unison, the sound deafening and shaking the heaven and earth.
Then Fang Jian arranged for a divine general to lead these little demons into the country of Shaluo, all the way to the Guqiu Temple.
"Withdraw the camp at Fanqing Peak and return to Xitian Mansion." Fang Jian said to General Cutting the Tan and General Destroying the Temple.
"Follow the decree of the law." The two generals who cut down the altar and destroyed the temple respectfully responded.
"The battle at Banjie Mountain is over." Vairocana Buddha said solemnly: "We missed one move and lost."
The Great Sun Tathagata has returned to normal at this moment. Hearing the words, he said calmly: "Fellow Taoist, there is no need to be like this. This is just the first confrontation. There will be opportunities to turn defeat into victory in the future."
Vairocana Buddha said: "Although I say so, but now that the ten demon kings are dead, the entire Xiniu Hezhou demon clan has lost the power to oppose Xitian Mansion."
After hearing the words of Vairocana Buddha, the Great Sun Tathagata's eyes turned cold and he said in a solemn tone: "It will be difficult to be a pawn from now on."
The Buddhist monk Buddha of the North raised his head and immediately said: "The monsters of Xiniu Hezhou cannibalize people and suck their blood, harming all living beings. All living beings suffer unspeakably, and there are many injustices in the world. It is my duty, as a Buddhist disciple, to subjugate and eliminate demons and save all sentient beings from the sea of suffering."
"Good." The Great Sun Tathagata clasped his hands together and said, "Master Hongqing of Xitian Mansion has long ago issued an order to all Buddhist temples in Xiniu Hezhou to exterminate evil cultivators. Now that evildoers are prevalent and harming living beings, I, the Buddhist disciples, should abide by the order of Xitian Mansion and save heaven." Follow the path and destroy evildoers.”
"Amitabha." Vairocana Buddha recited the Buddha's name and said: "It's good, it's good, just as the Taoist friend said."
Subsequently, the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha, Vairocana Buddha, and the Northern Buddha Buddha issued decrees and spread them to the major Buddhist temples in Hezhou, Xiniu, ordering them to exterminate all demon cultivators within the jurisdiction of the Buddhist temples, do justice for heaven, stabilize living beings, and not allow any error.
At the same time, in the Baituo Palace of Xitian Mansion.
Demon King Peng was brought to the Hongde Hall. Fang Jian was sitting high in the hall, and the five generals including the Capture and Killing General, the altar-cutting general, the temple-breaking general, the ultimatum envoy, and the palace-guarding general stood on the right side of the hall, looking at them with majestic eyes. Peng Demon King.
The Jieshulang stood on the left side of Da Dian, holding the 'Jade Book of Jieshu' in his hand, looking at the Peng Demon King quietly.
"Kneel down." The two god generals behind him shouted to Demon King Peng.
Demon King Peng raised his head and looked at the Fang Jian in the hall, and then looked at the five heavenly generals on the right. This time he did not say 'I would rather die than kneel' like King Yu Tao, but knelt down directly. In the main hall, he bowed his hands and said, "Greetings to Master Hongqing."
Fang Jian looked at the Peng Demon King and said: "Peng Demon King, you and the Jiao Demon King, the Lion Camel King, the Macaque King, the Yu Tao King, the Tongtian King, the Fantian King, the Qingtian King, the Zhentian King, the Shakian King and others gather in the demon world. Shan, you conspired to rebel and fight against Heaven, can you plead guilty?"
Demon King Peng lowered his head and remained silent. When Tang Yu saw this, he immediately shouted: "Demon King Peng, Master Shangshu is asking you something."
Demon King Peng raised his head, looked at Fang Jian, and asked, "Master Hongqing, if I plead guilty, can I avoid death?"
Fang Jian did not pay attention to Demon King Peng's question, but looked at him and said: "Demon King Peng, you conspired with Demon King Jiao and other demons to rebel and fight against the heaven. Can you plead guilty?"
Demon King Peng's face froze, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and thought a thousand times.
"Can you plead guilty!" Fang Jian asked again, and this time Fang Jian's tone was full of divine power.
Demon King Peng's heart trembled, then he no longer hesitated and said immediately: "I plead guilty, Master Hongqing, I plead guilty!"
After Demon King Peng confessed, he collapsed on the ground. He knew the consequences of confessing, and he would definitely die.
But if he doesn't plead guilty, Fang Jian has enough means to make him plead guilty. Not only will he suffer a lot, but his end will be several times more miserable than now, so Demon King Peng confessed his crime simply.
"Okay." Fang Jian looked at Demon King Peng and said, "If you want to survive, you need to reveal the person behind this."
Having said this, Fang Jian leaned forward slightly and said, "Who is instigating you to rebel against Heaven?"
Demon King Peng was overjoyed when he heard this, and he immediately opened his mouth and said, "It's Pi...!" But Demon King Peng just said two words, and suddenly shouted, then he fell to the ground on his back, and his whole body began to shake violently. Struggling and twitching.
When Fang Jian saw this, he immediately stood up and said: "Remove the seal on him!"
With Demon King Peng acting like this, it was obvious that the person behind the scenes had a back-up plan on him, so Fang Jian asked the general to lift Demon King Peng's seal so that Demon King Peng could regain his Taoist power to fight against the "back-up man".
But when the two divine generals quickly stepped forward to remove the seal from Demon King Peng, they saw a red light flashing from the center of Demon King Peng's eyebrows.
Then Peng Demon King's whole body instantly turned into flying ashes and disappeared into smoke, and his soul could not escape the disaster and was directly annihilated.
Seeing this scene, Fang Jian stood there blankly. Suddenly something seemed to sound, and he hurriedly released the souls of Demon King Jiao and others from his sleeves.
The moment the nine souls of the Dragon Demon King came out, they let out a scream, and then the nine souls disappeared in the red light.
The scene that happened in front of them shocked everyone in Hongde Hall. Fang Jian put his hand on his forehead and sat back on the sandalwood chair.
"Neglect!" Fang Jian shook his head and said, "You shouldn't have interrogated in such a hurry."
The person behind the scenes has left a back-up plan on the top ten demon kings. As soon as the information about the identity of the person behind the scenes is triggered, the back-up plan will be activated immediately to make them flee.
"well!"
Fang Jian sighed, and then said to Tang Yu: "Capture and kill the general, have the bodies of the other nine demon kings been recovered?"
Tang Yu nodded and said: "Master Qizhenshu, you have already restrained yourself."
"Go and see if it's still there." Fang Jian said.
Tang Yu immediately left the Hongde Hall, and soon after Tang Yu returned to the Hongde Hall again, "Your Excellency, the Minister of Qi, is here."
Fang Jian breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, for this battle on Banjie Mountain, I will write a memorial to the chief envoy. Later, the bodies of the nine demon kings will also be sent to the heaven together with the memorial."
"Follow the law." Tang Yu bowed and said.
Three hours later, Tang Yu took Fang Jian's memorial and a hundred divine generals to transport the bodies of the nine demon kings into the heaven from the West Tianmen.
But Tang Yu left quickly and came back quickly. When Fang Jian saw Tang Yu returning to Xitian Mansion so quickly, he suddenly asked in confusion: "Why did you come back so fast?"
Tang Yu reported to Fang Jian: "Master Shangshu, after my subordinates presented the memorial and the corpses of the nine demon kings to the chief envoy, he ordered me to return to Xitian Mansion immediately with the decree."
After speaking, Tang Yu took out a decree from his sleeve and said: "The great master sends the decree, and Fang Jian receives the decree."
Fang Jian immediately stood up and walked up the steps of the palace, and bowed to the decree in Tang Yu's hand: "Your Majesty, Fang Jian, accepts the decree."
Tang Yu immediately opened the law and recited: "Take Fang Jian, the Minister of the West Tianfu, and return to the Heavenly Court immediately to see you in Taixuan Hall!"
After Tang Yu finished reciting, he immediately put away the decree and handed it to Fang Jian. Then he said with a smile: "Master Shangshu, the chief envoy Xuan you will go back to heaven in person to see you."
After receiving the decree, Fang Jian stood up, pondered for a moment and then said to Tang Yu: "I understand, then while I am going to the Heavenly Court to see you, you will be in charge of all affairs of the Xitian Mansion for the time being. If anything happens, you will be in charge." We can discuss with everyone and choose a temporary solution."
When Tang Yu heard this, he immediately bowed with a serious look on his face: "Follow the law and decree."
Immediately afterwards, Fang Jian said to the ultimatum envoy: "The shadow of the spiritual light will be printed as soon as possible and spread to all parts of Xiniu Hezhou as quickly as possible."
Upon hearing this, the messenger immediately bowed and said, "I will obey the law."
Then Fang Jian left Xitian Mansion, rode on the Third Prince and entered the Xitian Gate, and then rode all the way to the thirty-sixth level of the sky, then galloped through the clouds and clouds, and headed straight to Taixuan Capital Province.
