Chapter 38: Guarding the Heavenly Prison
At this time, in the Jinqueyun Palace, the Lingxiao Palace.
The Jade Emperor was also startled by the sudden noise, and he immediately summoned the Thousand-Li Eyes and the Wind-Hearing Ears to investigate what had happened.
Thousand-Li Eyes and Swift-Hearing Ears used their magical powers and in a short while, they found out the cause of the matter.
"Your Majesty, I have been ordered to listen to the source of the sound. It is outside the Bingde Palace of the Fourteenth Heaven. There is a fox demon causing trouble. The fox demon has now been killed by Yao Tianjun of the Thunder Department. The Tianjun is coming to the Lingxiao Palace to report this to Your Majesty."
When Qiu Yin heard the word "fox demon", his heart skipped a beat and he knew something was wrong.
He suddenly looked up at Yang Jian who was standing in the front row, and found that Yang Jian had a calm and indifferent expression, as if he didn't care at all.
Then he turned his head and looked at Wude Xingjun.
Then he saw that Wude Star Lord was looking at him anxiously.
The two of them obviously thought of the same thing.
Soon, Taoist Qiu Hongji reported that Yao Tianjun had arrived outside the Tongming Palace.
The Jade Emperor immediately ordered Yao Tianjun to come in and asked about the origins of the fox demon.
Yao Tianjun said: "Your Majesty, this fox demon was originally a demon king in the lower world. Because he refined the souls of the dead into lamp oil, his methods were cruel and violated the heavenly rules. He was captured by the Meishan brothers under the command of the God of Justice and brought back to the heavenly palace seven days ago and imprisoned in the heavenly prison."
"Today at the hour of Mao, the fox demon took advantage of the opportunity when Guansuo Xingjun came to the Lingxiao Palace to attend the court meeting and bewitched the celestial commander in charge of the prison, and released all the monsters on the first three floors of the prison."
"I went to the Fourteenth Heaven alone and used the evil magic of burning souls to die together with Master Guang'an of Bingde Hall. The noise just now was caused by the fox demon before it died."
The Jade Emperor was somewhat puzzled: "It has only been an hour since the fox demon escaped from the prison. How did the Heavenly Monarch know so clearly?"
Yao Tianjun said: "Your Majesty, the fox demon was worried that he had not been able to kill his enemy, so before he died, he projected part of his memory into the air. What I just said was not only seen by me, but also by the heavenly soldiers and generals guarding Bingde Hall."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor frowned slightly and asked again, "What is this for?"
Yao Tianjun said: "Before Immortal Guang'an ascended to heaven, he left a school of thought in the mortal world. His disciples learned a blood refining method that can use the essence, blood and souls of monsters as raw materials to refine elixirs. This act is against the harmony of heaven and violates the laws of heaven. The fox demon must be trying to seek justice in this way."
"His Majesty."
Yang Jian suddenly stood up and said, "I am also investigating the matter of the fox demon. The reason why she was willing to kill Master Guang'an even if her soul was torn apart was because Master Guang'an's disciples sent the best of the elixirs they made to Master Guang'an for him to take. The fox demon's parents were among them."
The Jade Emperor's face darkened and he flew into a rage: "How dare that evil creature bring such filthy evil things into Heaven?!"
Yang Jian said, "It's not just Guang'an Xianguan, nor is it just this fox demon. During my investigation, I found that this blood refining technique has spread widely, and many immortals are involved. This matter is related to the majesty of our heavenly court and the stability of the three realms. I implore your majesty to order a thorough investigation of this matter."
With a buzzing sound, the usually quiet and solemn Lingxiao Palace was filled with screams like a frying pan.
Some of the immortals seemed to know about this, and their eyes flickered.
Some looked confused and knew nothing about it.
Even more people were filled with indignation and disbelief, and they all requested an imperial decree to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Yang Jian pretended not to hear anything. He slowly took out a memorial that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
The Jade Emperor took the memorial and flipped through it. The more he read, the angrier he became. He slammed the memorial on the table with a "bang" and said sternly, "Yang Jian, I'm handing this matter over to you! Whoever is involved will be severely punished and will not be tolerated!"
"My little god obeys your command."
After receiving the order, Yang Jian did not retreat, but continued: "Your Majesty, I want to investigate the Guansuo Star Lord Qiu Yin's corpse eating and sitting, which led to the lax management of the Heavenly Prison and the chaos of the demons. Qiu Yin's right to guard the Heavenly Prison should be taken away, and he should be punished to guard the remote and cold place of Northern Juluzhou for a hundred years to serve as a warning to others."
The gods were not surprised by this.
It would be strange if Yang Jian did not step forward to report Qiu Yin after he made such a big mistake .
"Your Majesty, I..."
Qiu Yin was about to say something, but stopped.
He really wanted to say that Yang Jian was the one behind all this, but he had no evidence.
He wanted to explain that he had already noticed the unusual movements of the monsters in the prison and had set up the prison network with the Star Lord Wude in advance.
But saying this would only make him look even more incompetent, and might even drag down the Lord of Wude!
After a long pause, Qiu Yin finally managed to utter five words with difficulty: "I am willing to be punished."
After saying this, he drooped down completely, as if all the energy in his heart had been drained away.
"In that case, let's follow the advice of the God of Justice!"
The Jade Emperor thought for a moment and then said, "Yang Jian, since you said Qiu Yin failed to guard the prison, I will leave it to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the immortals were shocked, and they looked at Yang Jian with a little more fear and dread.
Yang Jian stepped forward to receive the decree and thanked the emperor , but his expression remained cold and indifferent, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
…
After the court meeting ended, Qiu Yin did not even return to the Tianlao Palace, but directly received the imperial edict and went to Uttarakuru.
The heavenly soldiers and generals in the Heavenly Prison did not know what had happened in the Lingxiao Palace until Yang Jian led the Meishan brothers and three hundred grass-headed gods to the Heavenly Prison Palace.
"I don't believe it! The general has been guarding the prison for so many years, why would he be banished to the mortal world just because of such a small matter!"
"You must be the one behind this! You framed the general! I'm going to find the general!"
"Even if you are the God of Justice, so what! I will not obey anyone except the general!"
…
The heavenly soldiers and generals were shocked and angry, and started making a fuss on the spot.
Li Anran was originally standing at the back of the team. Upon seeing this, he silently took a few steps back to distance himself from them.
Qiu Yin is finished.
Yang Jian is now both a county magistrate and a governor.
Offending Yang Jian is no different from seeking death!
These heavenly soldiers have followed Qiu Yin for so many years and have been staying in the heavenly prison, so they have become arrogant and lazy.
Now, you still dare to play the game of inciting public anger in front of Yang Jian. Isn't this just handing a knife into Yang Jian's hand?
really.
Yang Jian did not indulge them. He glanced at them coldly, and an extremely terrifying aura pressed down on them.
Plop, plop, plop, plop…
The heavenly soldiers and generals who had been shouting non-stop just now fell to the ground one after another.
They just felt like an invisible mountain was pressing down on them, ready to crush them.
Unbearable pain came from all over the body.
They all have a wisp of soul on the List of Gods, immortal and indestructible, but that doesn’t mean they won’t feel pain!
And so many years of comfortable life have already tempered their character.
After just a few breaths, they could no longer hold on and began to cry and beg.
Yang Jian ignored them and walked up to Li Anran. He said straight to the point, "General Li, from today on, the Heavenly Prison will be under the jurisdiction of our Heavenly Palace of Justice. General, are you willing to serve as the warden and guard the Heavenly Prison for me?"
