332: Chapter 152: Gao Jianli_3 332: Chapter 152: Gao Jianli_3 “Clearly, you still haven’t reflected enough.
Continue your reflection.”
Fang Tuojie suddenly shouted, his hands continuously gesturing in the void, and in an instant, numerous Dharma Seals flew out, landing within the mountains.
As these Dharma Seals descended, the roaring from within the mountains persisted, but the words being roared were no longer intelligible.
Moreover, each time a Dharma Seal landed, the roar of the Demon Head in the distance became much weaker.
With the last Dharma Seal in place, the roaring ceased completely.
Fang Tuojie waved his hands once again, and from the sleeves on both his sides, a long, white talisman, like a couplet, flew out.
They expanded in the air and in the blink of an eye, landed on the distant mountains, forming an X-shaped seal over them.
After sealing the mountains, Fang Tuojie spun around and returned inside the tower.
Cao Zhen, full of curiosity, asked the turning Fang Tuojie, “You’ve sealed him back in?
What kind of Demon Head is he, that even the Grand Preceptor can’t kill him and can only seal him?”
Hearing this, Fang Tuojie replied with a solemn face, “Who says my master can’t kill him?
Not to mention my master, even I am more than capable of doing so.”
Cao Zhen was immediately confused, “If you are capable of killing him, then why go through the hassle of sealing him?” Generally speaking, one would think of sealing the other party with a formation only if they are too strong to kill.
“Because my master has said that everything should be judged by laws.
This world must be bound by laws, otherwise it will descend into chaos,” Fang Tuojie pointed towards the distant mountains as he explained.
“This Demon Head, who calls himself Elder Yin Pan, once suppressed Blood River.”
“Suppressed Blood River?” Cao Zhen’s expression changed, “Was he once part of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, and then rebelled?”
“Not quite,” Fang Tuojie shook his head, “The reason he suppressed that Blood River back then was because the magical technique he practiced required the Demonic Beasts within the Blood River, so he suppressed it.
Although he had violated the Dynasty’s laws before, regardless of the reasons, he indeed suppressed the Blood River, and the suppression lasted for a thousand years.
It was because he stayed within the Blood River that the surrounding lands were safe for a thousand years.
He can be considered as having protected the Dynasty’s subjects.
Therefore, according to the law, his meritorious deeds and past offenses offset each other.
He doesn’t deserve death, but we also can’t simply release him.
Hence, my master suppressed him here to let him properly reflect.”
“This…” Cao Zhen found this difficult to comprehend and asked, “Then, with the Qiankun small epoch approaching, who will fall asleep first, you or him?”
Without any hesitation, Fang Tuojie responded, “Naturally, it will be me who falls asleep first.”
“You’ll fall asleep first?
Then if nobody is suppressing him while you are asleep, and he runs out again, what happens?
By then, everyone inside Set Soil City will be unfortunate.
You heard how much resentment he harbors earlier, aren’t you afraid that he’ll come out and kill everyone?” Cao Zhen couldn’t understand, “Why can’t you just directly kill him?”
“Of course, I also wish to kill him, but my master said that everything should rely on the laws.
If this Demon Head does as you say, once I wake up, no matter where he flees to the ends of the earth, I will apprehend him and hand him over to the Department of Punishment for trial.”
Fang Tuojie looked at Cao Zhen with certainty in his voice, “Since my master has tasked me with imprisoning him, there must be my master’s considerations.
I believe my master cannot be wrong, and moreover, I have even greater faith that my master will have left measures in place.
Even if I fall asleep, my master will definitely not let this Demon Head wreak havoc on the people of this land.”
Hearing this, Cao Zhen sighed lightly, clearly, all the Grand Preceptor’s disciples held him in extreme adoration, to the point of being thoroughly indoctrinated beyond any further persuasion.
It was futile for Cao Zhen to try to convince Fang Tuojie with any more words.
Therefore, there was no need to say more.
He raised his hand to Fang Tuojie in a gesture of farewell, “Since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave now.
Our Hundred Peaks Sect still needs to visit the Capital City.”
Fang Tuojie nodded slightly and said, “If that’s the case, I won’t keep you any longer.
But wait a moment, I’ll write you a letter.
Although my master certainly already knows everything,
taking this letter to my master, however, is somewhat, well, somewhat essential.”
“Then thank you, Brother Fang,” Cao Zhen flashed an understanding look instantly, Fang Tuojie meant that while the Grand Preceptor might know, if he himself wrote a separate letter speaking favorable words, the Grand Preceptor might bestow more rewards, more benefits, when the time came.
This truly is a kind person.
Fang Tuojie quickly finished writing a letter, sealed it with fire mastic, handed it to Cao Zhen, and then continued, “Be extra cautious on your way, especially since you also have to take the white-haired witch from the Red Refinery Demonic Sect to the Capital City.
The people of the Red Refinery Demonic Sect will surely not let their people be easily escorted to the Capital City.
It’s very possible that they will take action on the way; you must be careful, exceptionally careful.”
“Wait a minute…” Cao Zhen was suddenly confused, “Didn’t you say when we came before that if we brought the white-haired witch to the Immortal Reception House, someone would naturally take her in?
Why are we being asked to take her with us again?”
“Yes, I said someone from the Immortal Reception House would take her in, but I never said someone could judge her.
As the Garrisoned Immortal of this place, I don’t have the authority to judge her.
No one in the city has the power to judge her; only the Department of Punishment has the right to judge people.
She must naturally be escorted to the Capital City and handed over to the Department of Punishment.”
