It’s more than just “a little interesting”
Jianchou was almost amused by the temperament of this judge, but putting aside the absurd feeling that suddenly arose in his heart, he felt that Zhang Tang was a very clear-headed man, and his ability to bet on both sides and to seek benefits and avoid harm was first-rate.
Because of his past involvement with her, and under her "threat", he helped her a lot today. Jianchou was the eldest sister of Yashan after all, and one of the great powers of the Nineteen Continents, and could represent the Nineteen Continents to some extent, so Zhang Tang was showing goodwill to the Nineteen Continents.
But he did not go directly to the Nineteenth Continent.
After killing King Chujiang swiftly and decisively, he actually chose to return to Bafang City. His words clearly implied that he would not switch sides before the situation became clear, unless the Nineteen Continents really had the ability to capture the City of the Dead and enter Bafang City.
In this way, if Jiyu wins, or if Jiyu shows signs of defeat, and the collusion with the enemy is not exposed, then Zhang Tang will still be the chief judge of Jiyu's First Yama Palace; if Jiuzhou wins, or if Jiyu shows signs of defeat, it will not be too late for him to turn to the light, after all, he had helped Jianchou before, and there is no reason for Jiuzhou not to accept his defection, so although he may not become a judge in the end, his life will not be in danger.
What are the words about civil servants and killing
Just an excuse.
This clerk doesn't want to get involved in this mess at all!
"Fellow Daoist Jianchou really has a wide circle of friends. He even made friends with the notorious cruel officials of Daxia in the past. This is really admirable."
Xie Buchen's rare sarcastic voice rang out.
Jianchou pulled himself away from his complicated thoughts and looked at him, and saw Xie Buchen looking at him indifferently, with a hint of calm thought in his eyes.
So she laughed.
"Thank you for your praise, Taoist friend. Whether the official is cruel or not is not something I can care about, but there is a saying that never changes. The enemy of my enemy should be my friend; the enemy of my enemy should be my ally. Why should Taoist friend Xie admire me? I should be the one thanking Taoist friend Xie."
There is an undercurrent again.
There was a faint feeling of tit-for-tat, as if they were back to the time when they first explored the hidden world of Qingfeng Temple together. Every word contained wit and coldness that only the two of them could understand and feel.
Lu Xiang looked at the two of them coldly, and once again there was a little more inquiry in her eyes.
Qu Zhengfeng casually pointed at the body of King Chujiang at his feet and said, "Fellow Judge Jianchou seems to act erratically, but he is actually very methodical. A person who can clearly weigh his own interests would never kill someone suddenly with just a sentence of 'I have been patient for a long time', and dare to return to the Eight Directions Hell Palace afterwards. I think he did not kill someone on impulse, but was ordered to kill someone. In this case, there is no need to worry about his safety. Let's plan and figure out what to do next."
Killing on orders
This inference was undoubtedly incredible. If anyone else heard it, they would be in disbelief. But among the few people who were sober and present, Jianchou nodded in agreement, Xie Buchen looked calm, and Lu Xiangleng seemed to be thinking about something. No one refuted it.
Obviously, even if what everyone was thinking was not "killing on orders", it was not far off.
There was no doubt about what happened next.
The feud between Jianchou and Xie Buchen was not a one-day thing, and the feud between Zhang Tang and Xie Buchen was not something that could be resolved just by thinking about it. There was indeed a mess waiting for everyone to clean up right now, so they all tacitly put aside all the turbulent undercurrents and first dealt with the situation in the hall.
Kong Yin, the elder of the Wuchang clan, had fainted when Xie Buchen restrained him. He was a bully who only feared the strong and was completely useless. Jianchou woke him up from his coma, frightened him with a little trick, and forced him to submit, asking him to keep his mouth shut about what happened today.
Xie Buchen, Lu Xiangleng, Jianchou and Qu Zhengfeng acted separately.
With such a serious incident as the death of Lord Yama, and having already received the Lower String of Orders to close the watchtower, Xie Buchen and Lu Xiangleng certainly could not stay here any longer, so they quietly left the hall before anyone noticed, and returned to the Nineteen Continents outside the Ghost Gate to report the situation.
Jianchou and Qu Zhengfeng had other plans.
The two of them were highly skilled and courageous, and they believed that Zhang Tang had the ability to handle the matter, so they were not in a hurry to leave. They just changed back into the appearance of Lian Zhao and Xiao Mou, lay down and pretended to be seriously injured or fainted.
After two moments, the judge who was originally guarding outside the hall finally realized something was wrong. When he came in and took a look, he was frightened by the scene inside. His legs went weak and he knelt down! He finally crawled to the side of the corpse of King Chujiang. When he recognized the face clearly, he screamed in fear.
Things got serious immediately.
The entire lookout station was alarmed and people were in a panic. Jianchou and Qu Zhengfeng were carried away in a hurry. After they "woken up", they were naturally interrogated a lot, but the two had anticipated this situation and answered without a single mistake.
When asked what had happened, they only said that after they entered, the two monks from the Nineteenth Continent suddenly attacked them, subdued them and injured them. Before they passed out, they only vaguely heard that the Grand Judge Zhang Tang had come, and they had no idea what had happened after that.
After all, the two of them were nothing, so after three times no one asked anymore.
On the contrary, the elder Kong Yin, who was threatened by them, seemed extremely painful when facing all kinds of interrogations. He only vaguely revealed his suspicion of Zhang Tang to the interrogators, but did not say it directly. In this way, he was able to maintain this turbulent undercurrent and make the ten major ghost clans and the eight hell palaces suspicious of each other.
After all, Zhang Tang, the chief judge of His Royal Highness Prince Qin Guang, came to the Ghost Gate Lookout Tower and happened to run into a fight inside. He left as if nothing had happened after Prince Chu Jiang died. It was weird no matter how you looked at it!
Who could not doubt him
But the only thing they were afraid of was his identity as the judge of the Qin Guangwang Palace. Everyone had to think: With his cultivation level, how could he kill the King of Chujiang? Was it related to the two missing Nineteen Continents cultivators? Was it someone else pretending to be him? Or, was there some other more shocking possibility...
All in all, at this point, things have nothing to do with "Lian Zhao" and "Xiao Mou".
Jianchou and Qu Zhengfeng discussed it and decided to act separately.
Qu Zhengfeng held the lower string and ordered Jue to stay at the Ghost Gate Watchtower to prevent any accidents; Jianchou saw that the time was ripe and decided to take advantage of the Wuchang clan's recruitment of ghost soldiers to go to the Eighteen Levels of Hell again and bring out the monks Yashan and Xinghai who were waiting in the Eighteen Levels of Hell.
During this period, disputes continued at the gates of hell.
The Nineteen Continents and the Extreme Territory had several battles again, with both sides winning and losing. This stalemate has lasted for a long time, and everyone has gotten used to it in recent days.
Only Fu Chaosheng felt bored.
"boom!"
When a man was on the battlefield in front of the gates of hell, he lightly flicked his finger forward, and a green glow the size of a grain of rice flew out from his fingertips and fell into the tide-like formation of ghost soldiers from the extreme region.
Instantly it was like falling into a frying pan!
With the place where the firefly landed as the center, all the ghost soldiers standing within a ten-foot radius were instantly engulfed by the spreading green light, and they let out shrill howls!
After a moment, it turned into wisps of blood smoke and disappeared into thin air!
Extraordinary means!
Brutal killing!
In the past few days, Fu Chaosheng has fully demonstrated his unfathomable power to the other cultivators in the Nineteen Continents.
At this moment, it is even more eye-catching!
Although the situation on the battlefield was chaotic, the ghost soldiers within a radius of ten feet were cleared out in an instant, and it was still such a horrifying scene.
The countless miserable howls of the ghost soldiers were truly chilling.
Next to the Central Region cultivators, Zhang Yuandai, the head of the Demon Sealing Sword Sect, took a look from afar and frowned. He felt that the "fellow Taoist" of Yashan, who had a mysterious origin, was too cruel in his methods of killing. Seeing such a tragic scene, his face did not show any emotion at all.
Even bystanders like them felt it was too cold-blooded.
Zhang Yuandai shook his head and said, "After all, he is not of my kind..."
Standing next to him was the head of the Northern Region Yin Sect, Xuan Yue Xian Ji. Although his voice was not loud, she heard it clearly. She smiled and said, "Now we are all working together to fight against the Extreme Region. I'm afraid it's not right for Sect Leader Zhang to think this way? You should be careful with your words."
Zhang Yuandai's heart shuddered. Although he didn't think that he had said anything wrong, after all, Fairy Xuanyue was quite majestic, and her status was much higher than his, and she was also a female cultivator, so he didn't argue and just kept silent.
Seeing this, the people around him stopped talking.
But only they themselves know what is in everyone's mind.
In front of the Ghost Gate, there is Gobi Desert all around, and the center is extremely flat.
The two sides fought on this plain, back and forth, but neither side tried their best. No matter how hard the Nineteen Continents attacked, the Extreme Territory would not reveal its full strength, but would rather sacrifice the ghost soldiers on the battlefield.
The small-scale battle lasted for two hours.
Fu Chaosheng could clearly feel that with each battle, both sides had gradually figured out each other's strengths. The Jiyu side had begun to increase the number of troops invested in the battle, and the wave of ghost soldiers attacking today was obviously several times stronger than in the past.
But that wasn't what he cared about.
After Jiyu retreated, he walked back alone through the crowd.
The brocade bag hanging around his waist was embroidered with a black carp blowing bubbles. It seemed to have sensed his rare gloomy and irritable mood, and said quietly: "I have foresighted you to not open your eyes to look at the universe at any time. There is a saying in the human race that when you are old, you should use your eyes carefully. What if you damage them by looking too carefully? According to the lifespan of your mayfly race, one day is a lifetime. How many lifetimes have you lived? Save your time."1

explain
Making noise again!
Fu Chaosheng actually didn’t know how to describe his current mood.
Maybe it’s because Jianchou is not here
Although the people of Yashan seemed to be quite nice, he was now in the Nineteen Continents Formation. Not only did he have to communicate with the monks of Yashan, he would also frequently interact with other monks, and the feeling of getting along with them became uncomfortable.
These people are hard to compare with his old friends.
Whether it was his vision, his temperament, or his words and deeds, he probably knew Jianchou the earliest and cared about her the most, so when he met her people, he would inevitably use her as a standard to measure them, and thus felt that no one was as good as him.
Fu Chaosheng had seen many ugly things in the world.
He felt uncomfortable among people.
Then he walked in the crowd and said to the dead fish, "No matter what, I want to get out of the customs!"
"Exit, what do you mean?"
A voice suddenly interrupted from behind him, sounding unserious but also full of surprise. It was the Fudaoshanren who had caught up with him holding a chicken leg and just happened to hear him talking.
"You, no, isn't the demon here?"
Fu Chaosheng knew who it was without even looking back.
After all, the casual voice, casual words, and the smell of chicken legs wafting over were too obvious.
He didn't want to explain much.
He appeared here only because he wanted to explore the secret of reincarnation and solve the fate of the mayfly clan of "born in the morning and dying in the evening". More importantly, he promised Jianchou that he would help her find out what Xie Buchen was doing.
But now that Xie Buchen is not here, he certainly doesn't have to stay here!
Makes sense!
So he just said to Fu Dao Shanren: "I have to leave the pass, I have to leave."
"ah?"
Fudaoshanren had no idea what the logic was in his words. He couldn't understand what he was saying at all and was dumbfounded.
Fu Chaosheng turned around and was about to leave.
Who would have thought that at this moment, a cry of surprise rang out from the front, with a kind of overjoyed excitement, very loud: "He's back! Fellow Daoist Kunwu Xie is back!!!"
Fang raised his foot, but suddenly froze.
"… "
I have nothing to say and suddenly I want to kill someone.
