Chapter 78: Lonely Courage
"Master! Master!"
As soon as Roaring Sky Dog entered the Temple of Justice, he shouted excitedly.
Normally he doesn't have the courage to do this.
But today, he had just descended to earth with the prison god and captured all the evil spirits that escaped from the eighteen levels of hell. He had made a great contribution and was full of confidence.
When walking, he runs and jumps at the same time.
Li Anran followed the two Xiaotian dogs and entered the inner hall of the Temple of the God of Justice.
Yang Jian was still reviewing documents at his desk.
Two stacks of files half a person's height filled the entire desk, and just looking at them made one's scalp tingle.
Compared to him, the leisurely god of prison, Yang Jian, the god of justice, is definitely the busiest immortal in the Three Realms and can be called a model worker in heaven.
Twelve hours a day, no rest.
Fortunately, he is a god, otherwise if he continued to do this, he would end up dying from overwork sooner or later.
However, such diligence and hard work did not bring Yang Jian even a little good reputation.
On the contrary, after he ruthlessly rectified the heavenly rules, cleared up old cases, and demoted a large number of gods, the Temple of Justice had become one of the most gloomy and terrifying places in the entire heaven, and he had become the most unpopular person in heaven.
Well, on par with the Temple of Heavenly God of Justice is the Heavenly Prison. The second least popular person is Li Anran, the "henchman" who relied on Yang Jian to rise to power.
"Second Master." Li Anran bowed respectfully.
Roaring Sky Dog had already come close to Yang Jian's legs, nodding and bowing, with a fawning look on his face, asking for credit.
He talked at length about how powerful its ability to track people across thousands of miles was, and how it helped Li Anran capture those evil spirits one by one.
It was not until Li Anran came in that Xiaotian Dog quickly praised Li Anran a few more times, and did not forget to raise an eyebrow at Li Anran, taking credit for speaking well of Li Anran.
"Okay, Xiaotian Dog, you've worked hard on this trip. Go take a rest over there first."
Yang Jian patted Roaring Sky Dog's head with helplessness but a little bit of doting, signaling it to step aside first.
Yang Jian only said a few simple words, but Xiaotian Dog was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, as if he had gained some great benefit.
"Brother Li, is the trip going smoothly?" Yang Jian asked.
"With Roaring Sky Dog, we have captured all the evil spirits that escaped from the Eighteen Layers of Hell."
Li Anran handed over the gourd filled with evil spirits with both hands and said, "However, we encountered some other troubles during this process."
Roaring Sky Dog couldn't help but add, "Yes, we encountered a mink spirit called the Great Sage of Yellow Wind! Master, you don't know how abominable that evil creature is. It even dared to imitate your dress and appearance. The Prison God and I beat it up! In the end, it even tried to escape, but I caught it in one bite."
Li Anran: “…”Is this the point?
Li Anran couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, but considering that Roaring Sky Dog had just successfully transformed, his mouth was faster than his brain, so it was not his fault that he couldn't grasp the key points.
Yang Jian looked at Li Anran with a puzzled and questioning look.
Li Anran waved his right hand, and a pile of gold, silver and treasures appeared on the ground.
Afterwards, the Yellow Wind Monster, who was tied up tightly and had transformed into his original form, was thrown out.
"Second Master, that Yellow Wind Great Sage colluded with eight evil spirits and asked them to help him plunder gold and silver treasures. From the tone of his voice, it seems to be related to Lingshan."
Li Anran only concealed the fact that he already knew about the Yellow Wind Monster in advance, and recounted in detail what happened after he encountered the Yellow Wind Monster.
This included the fact that he deliberately did not give the One-Horned Old Ghost and the Yellow Wind Monster the opportunity to reveal their identities and show off their background.
Roaring Sky Dog: “???”
Roaring Sky Dog was confused, and said in big words, "What are you talking about? How come I don't know?"
Yang Jian nodded slightly, affirming Li Anran's approach: "When it comes to Lingshan, we should be more cautious."
The third eye on his forehead suddenly opened, and a silver light shone on the Yellow Wind Monster.
After more than ten seconds, Yang Jian retracted the silver light and said, "Brother Li, you are right. This evildoer is indeed closely related to Lingshan. It should have consumed some Buddhist treasures recently, and there is still undigested Buddhist light and energy in its body."
Li Anran asked: "Second Master, what should we do next?"
Yang Jian said in a deep voice: "Let's just pretend we don't know this and do what we have to do! Since it dares to violate the Heavenly Law, don't blame the Heavenly Law for being ruthless!"
Li Anran was a little surprised.
Regarding the previous incident with the green-haired lion monster, Yang Jian was adamant and insisted on asking Manjusri Bodhisattva to come to the heaven.
Li Anran just thought that it was because it involved the Three Holy Mothers and offended Yang Jian's reverse scale.
Unexpectedly, the incident of the Yellow Wind Monster had nothing to do with the Three Holy Mothers, and Yang Jian still determined to investigate it to the end.
Li Anran couldn't help but ask, "Second Master, what if this Yellow Wind Monster is another Green-haired Lion Monster or Golden-winged Peng Eagle?"
"No."
Yang Jian only uttered three words calmly.
His tone was calm, yet it revealed an unquestionable firmness.
During this period of time, in order to rectify the rules of heaven, he offended almost all the immortals in heaven.
Even those fellow disciples who had fought side by side with him during the Conferred God Catastrophe showed no mercy!
Lingshan is no exception!
Yang Jian said, "Brother Li, which evil spirits are colluding with the Yellow Wind Monster? Point them out to me, and then go back to the Heavenly Prison. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. After I have interrogated them, I will have the boss and the others send them to you."
He obviously wanted to get Li Anran away as much as possible.
"Yes." Li Anran picked out the One-horned Ghost King and eight other evil ghosts according to Yang Jian's instructions, and then left the Temple of Justice and returned to Heaven.
Li Anran really admires Yang Jian in his heart.
By acting like this, he was almost single-handedly confronting the entire Three Realms.
Regardless of success or failure, there is no end in sight.
Li Anran would never do such a thing under any circumstances.
All he could do was to lend a helping hand when Yang Jian was in trouble, so that Yang Jian would not end up in a miserable situation.
After about three hours, Yang Jian finished the interrogation and asked Zhi Jian to escort the Yellow Wind Monster, the One-horned Ghost King and the other eight to the Heavenly Prison.
Generally speaking, evil ghosts like the One-Horned Ghost King who have not reached the realm of True Immortal are not qualified to be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
However, because they were involved in the matter of Huang Fengguai, a powerful monster with an ambiguous relationship with Lingshan, they were treated as witnesses and temporarily imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
As for the other evil spirits, Yang Jian sent people to take them back to the Eighteen Levels of Hell to continue being punished and atone for their sins.
Li Anran did not ask Zhi Jian about the result of Yang Jian's interrogation, and just assumed that he did not know about this matter.
Open the Book of Punishments and check the life story of the Yellow Wind Monster.
Yang Jian’s attitude was firm, but he was not optimistic about this matter!
The Jade Emperor will most likely choose to make the Yellow Wind Monster drink three cups of wine as punishment and then return him to Lingshan.
He should take advantage of the fact that the Yellow Wind Monster is imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison to get whatever benefits he can as soon as possible!
