There are only seven great emperors in heaven: Emperor Ziwei, Emperor Changsheng of Anji, Emperor Houtu, Emperor Gouchen, Xuannv of Jiutian, Prince of the East, and Queen Mother of the West.
All the other emperors were ordinary emperors, and the four Fang Jian were granted the title of ordinary emperors. However, they held the four swords of Lingxiao and were given all the major powers in heaven, so they were above all the emperors from the beginning. .
You must know that except for the original Dongji Qinghua Emperor and Thunder Emperor, other emperors have almost no real power, including the five elders of the five directions.
The current 'Four Emperors of Lingxiao' are in charge of power, and their position is naturally below the great emperor and above all emperors.
Upon hearing Fang Jian's question, Demon Lord Chixiao from the demon sect immediately turned to Fang Jian and said, "Emperor Hongqing, when the Taoist sect held His Majesty the Jade Emperor hostage, our demonic sect came to attack the Taoist sect."
Fang Jian rolled his sleeves and said, "Now that this matter is over, the Demon Cult can return to the Demon Realm."
"This" Demon Lord Chixiao hesitated for a moment and said: "Emperor Hongqing, our demon sect Chidan is loyal and wants to come to the great world of Jambu to assist His Majesty the Jade Emperor."
Loyalty to the Jade Emperor is like a basket, anything can be put in it.
Fang Jian said calmly: "If you want to assist His Majesty the Jade Emperor, I will make arrangements for you in the future. However, the Heavenly Court has not issued an edict for the Demon Sect to enter the world of Jambu, so you have crossed the boundary by opening a boundary passage without authorization!"
"Emperor Hongqing." The Chaos Yuan Demon said at this time: "Although our demon sect has no edict, it is still loyal."
"Since you are loyal, then return to the demon world." Fang Jian said calmly.
The Chaos Yuan Demon glanced at the Scarlet Xiao Demon Lord, and the Scarlet Xiao Demon Lord immediately bowed and said, "To the Emperor Hongqing, the demon sect's army has entered the boundless ocean of the great world of Jambu. It is difficult to retreat in a hurry. Can you please allow some time?" .”
"How long?" Fang Jian asked.
Demon Lord Chixiao pretended to make some calculations, and then said: "It will take about two to three months."
"February, March?!" Hearing this, Taoist Lord Taiyi from the Taoist sect opposite couldn't help it, "Where are you on your outing?"
Demon Lord Chixiao said calmly: "In the midst of calamities, everything is not easy. I would like to invite fellow Taoists from the Taoist sect, Haihan."
"The Devil's Cult has always had ulterior motives from its birth to its entry into the world." Old Mother Lishan said.
Demon Lord Chixiao smiled and said: "What is it about that gate holding His Majesty the Jade Emperor hostage?"
Mother Lishan was blocked and came back. This sentence could not be refuted, because Fang Jian had already determined it just now, and refuting it meant that the Taoist family confessed on the outside but was dissatisfied on the inside.
So Old Mother Lishan turned around and bowed to the Jade Emperor, saying: "So our Taoist sect is willing to take the blame and perform meritorious service to resist the invasion of the world by the great Luo."
Demon Lord Chixiao was about to speak when suddenly there was a loud noise between heaven and earth, and then a black cloud rose from the immeasurable sea, instantly covering one-third of the sky in the great world of Jambudvipa.
Although Daluotian was not affected, the great powers present here have already felt the tremors of the great world of Jambudur outside Daluotian.
The expressions of everyone in the Lingxiao Palace changed, especially the Taoists, who looked at the people in the Demon Sect with gloomy expressions.
At this moment, the demon sect members could only look at their noses and their minds, and uncharacteristically did not mock the Taoist sect. This was all because a pair of cold and stern eyes had fallen on them.
"Where are the clairvoyance and the gentle ears?" Fang Jian shouted in a serious tone.
Thousand-clairvoyance and Shunfeng'er immediately walked into the Lingxiao Palace from outside the palace, bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Thousand-clairvoyance (Shunfeng'er) pays homage to Emperor Hongqing."
Fang Jian asked: "What happened in the lower world?"
The clairvoyant eye reported: "Reporting to Emperor Hongqing, on the battlefield of Fuming Island in the Infinite Sea, the Demon Sect launched an attack on the Dao Sect, and the World-Calling Furnace broke the Liangyi Dust Formation."
Shunfeng Er said: "All the Taoist sects on Fuming Island fell, and no one was spared. The power of the great furnace that broke the Liangyi dust formation shattered Fuming Island, setting off a huge roar that submerged tens of thousands of islands in the immeasurable sea. The four major dragon palaces of the East China Sea, the North Sea, the South China Sea, and the West China Sea have all been affected."
Fang Jian asked: "Did the Demon Cult take the initiative to attack the Taoist sect?"
The clairvoyant said: "Qi Chu Hongqing Emperor, that's right."
With Fang Jian's current Taoism, he naturally knew what happened in the Infinite Sea, but the reason why he called in the Clairvoyant and Shunfeng Er to inquire was to tell those in the Lingxiao Palace who didn't know.
Therefore, after the report from Clairvoyance and Shunfeng Er, the Taoist Daluo Jinling Holy Mother immediately raised her hands and said: "Emperor Hongqing, the demon sect actually launched a war during the Great Court Meeting in Heaven. Not only did it kill my Taoist disciples, it also caused disasters that affected all living beings in the world. Please Hongqing." The emperor will punish you severely!"
After the words of Holy Mother Jinling fell, Old Mother Lishan, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, Holy Mother Wudang, Taiyi Daojun, Chisongzi, Guangchengzi and other great figures all stood up and worshiped: "Please punish me severely, Emperor Hongqing!"
Seeing this scene, everyone in the demon sect could no longer pretend to be dead. Demon Lord Chixiao, Ancestor Minghe, Demon Dali Luo, and Demon Dafa Luo all stood up and worshiped Fang Jian: "Emperor Hongqing, my demon sect is now with the Taoist sect. We are still in a hostile situation, so it is reasonable to launch an attack.”
Red Sky Demon Lord said: "It's just that it is not what we want to affect all living beings in the world. I ask the Lord Hongqing to issue an edict. I am willing to rush to the boundless sea in person to capture the demon sect's garrison overhaul who launched the attack without permission and bring him to heaven to punish him."
The Scarlet Sky Demon Lord wanted to shift all the responsibility to the real demon they left in the infinite sea to take charge of the overall situation. To put it simply, he wanted to find the scapegoat to take the blame.
Fang Jian looked at Demon Lord Chixiao, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Seeing Fang Jian's smile, the Daomen of the Taoist sect were convinced that the Demon Sect had no good fruits to eat, but they had lost so much money all at once. Such a virtuous disciple also made Daluo of the Dao Sect present extremely distressed.
Only when everyone in the Demon Sect saw the smile on Fang Jian's face, they thought he had agreed to Demon Lord Chixiao's words. Just when they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw Fang Jian put away his smile and said: "Everyone in the Demon Sect, stay here Do not move in the palace, anyone who dares to do so will be punished for treason."
Hearing Fang Jian's words, the faces of the demon sect members suddenly changed, and then they felt a great pressure falling on their heads. The Chaos Yuan Demon's eyes condensed, and he turned around to see Dou Mu Yuanjun, Emperor Ziwei, The qi machines of the three Hunyuan Wuji Luo Jinxian of the Ancient Buddha on Ran Deng were locked on him.
At the same time, the three great Luo Jinxian from Heaven, Taoism, and Buddhism also locked onto the Great Luo Jinxian of the Demon Sect. At this moment, everyone in the Demon Sect suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Because of the Dharma-ending age, Buddhism has been affected by the entry of the demonic sect into the world and has lost so many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and people with great achievements. Moreover, these people lost by Buddhism have also added a wave of luck to the demonic sect.
The Taoist sect is also in a state of hostility with the Demon Sect because of the battle in Wulianghai, and the Demonic Sect has just killed the Daoist sect Luo Yunzhongzi. It can be said that the two families now have great hatred.
And now if they are abandoned by the Heavenly Court again, it is very likely that the Demon Sect will be wiped out in this calamity, and their long-planned plan to join the world will come to nothing.
Thinking of this, the Chaos Yuan Demon immediately said: "Emperor Hongqing, this time it is indeed my demon sect's fault. Please punish me, Emperor Hongqing."
Hearing the words of the Chaos Yuan Demon, headed by Emperor Ziwei, all the qi machines of the Heavenly Court were immediately withdrawn and no longer locked onto the Demon Cult members.
Feeling this, the Da Luo of the Demon Sect immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Heaven did not open its mouth, Taoism and Buddhism would not dare to directly break their faces and start a war at the Da Luo level.
Fang Jian nodded slightly, that's right. Be obedient and it would be good for everyone.
So Fang Jian immediately spoke: "The cultivators of the Infinite Giant Sea Demon Cult are starting a war and causing trouble to the common people. I want to send a powerful person to kill them."
Fang Jian did not hold Da Luo of the Demon Cult accountable. It was not that Fang Jian did not dare, but it was not necessary now. All he needed to do now was to warn and punish the Demon Cult. If Da Luo was involved, the calamity situation would become even more complicated. more complicated.
After hearing Fang Jian's words, the Daomen of the Taoist sect immediately said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Hongqing, our Taoist sect is willing to obey the order and go to slay the evil sect of the Wulianghai Demon Sect."
At this time, the Buddhist Guanshiyin Bodhisattva stood up and said: "Emperor Hongqing, the poor monk is willing to go."
Fang Jian looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was dressed in white and had a majestic appearance, and then nodded and said, "Then there is Bodhisattva Lao."
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva smiled, bowed, and then flew out of the Lingxiao Palace.
After a stick of incense, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva entered the Lingxiao Palace with lotus steps. She was dressed in the holy and solemn light of Buddha. She came to the center of the Lingxiao Palace, bowed her head and said: "I would like to report to the Hongqing Emperor that the evil sect of the evil sect has been punished."
Fang Jian asked: "How bad is the evil? What punishment will be given?"
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said: "There are more than one hundred thousand people, and their souls in the form of gods are burned with the fire of red lotus karma, and they will never be reincarnated."
"Good, please return to your seat, Bodhisattva." Fang Jian nodded.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's face was full of compassion, and he slowly flew onto the throne on fairy clouds. As a Bodhisattva, it is very reasonable for him to kill the devil with such ruthless hands.
After Guanshiyin Bodhisattva returned to his throne, Fang Jian looked at the demon sect members. Although the demon sect members were in pain inside, they pretended to be indifferent on the surface.
But only Guanshiyin knew that the Demon Sect suffered very heavy losses this time. In order to ensure the success of the sneak attack on the Taoist sect during the Great Court Meeting, the Demon Sect arranged for nearly a hundred Taiyi Golden Immortal-level real demons to be on Fuming Island.
However, there were three Hunyuan Wuji Luo Jinxian watching in the Lingxiao Palace. Chaos Yuan Demon and the others were unable to make any movement at all, and it was impossible to even pass on the message.
"After the Great Court Meeting, the boundary passage must be destroyed. The Demon Cult will return to the Demon Realm and concentrate on dealing with the calamity. If you really want to assist His Majesty the Jade Emperor, you can submit a memorial to the Heavenly Court after the calamity is over." Fang Jian said.
Demon Lord Chixiao no longer had any unnecessary words at this time, and only bowed and said: "I sincerely obey the decree of Emperor Hongqing."
Fang Jian was looking at the Chaos Yuan Demon at this time, and the Chaos Yuan Demon was also looking at Fang Jian.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Fang Jian's mind, and finally he asked: "Fellow Taoist Yuan Chen, what do you think of the Zhuwuyi Sect?"
The Chaos Yuan Demon smiled faintly and said: "There are countless Taoist sects in this world. There are four major sects: Taoism, Buddhism, Mysticism, and Demonism. They should not be able to accommodate the various sects."
Fang Jian nodded. This only temporarily ascertained the attitude of the Demon Sect. Fang Jian's requirement for the Demon Sect is that they be neutral, and they are not expected to resist the Zhuwu Sect.
Of course, the demon sect is also very useful to Fang Jian and Tianting. Fang Jian opposes the demonic nature of the demon sect, but he will never completely destroy the demon sect. Firstly, the Demonic Sect has a certain destiny and luck in entering the world, so it is difficult to completely destroy the Demonic Sect. Secondly, Heaven will need the Demonic Sect to check and balance Taoism and Buddhism in the future.
But in fact, Fang Jian didn't know much about the Zhuwu sect. He only got the information from the Taoist sect's few words combined with the scattered secrets.
Thinking of this, Fang Jian turned around and bowed to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, I am not sure about the dispute between what is and what is not. Please make your decision."
Hearing this, the Jade Emperor said: "Emperor Hongqing, since I have ordered you to take charge of the Heavenly Treasures and the authority of the Heavenly Court, then you will discuss this matter with the Five Emperors. Starting tomorrow, I will no longer go to court. From now on, calamities will be measured." All court meetings and affairs are under the control of the four emperors of Lingxiao."
Hearing this, Fang Jian and the others were slightly startled, and it took them a while to react. Then the four of them bowed before the Jade Emperor's gaze and said, "I sincerely obey His Majesty's decree."
