Faced with the threat from Palace Master Zhou Jue, I pretended to be calm and said, "Palace Master, what happened that night was just a misunderstanding. My disciples from Ji Zang Temple went to Qingqiu just to eliminate demons, and they accidentally interacted with your Lord.

There was some friction under my hands.

As the speaker of Jizo Temple, I will definitely go to your door in person to apologize to you. You should not make the matter too big.

Otherwise, everyone will look ugly when the time comes. We are all underworld, so harmony is the most important thing."

Sect Master Zhou Jue stared at me with his only remaining eye and said coldly: "Some friction?

Ksitigarbha Temple and Tianshi Sect united together, with thousands of disciples, and they fought head-on with my army. Not only did they let King Fox go, but they also caused me to lose nearly 30% of my subordinates, and I was also seriously injured.

You call this some friction? Misunderstanding?

What kind of monster are you trying to get rid of? It can’t be me!”

"Hey, Sir, you are really good at joking. You are the leader of the Six Heavens of Luo Feng. How can you be a demon?

Besides, considering the situation of Jizo Temple and Tianshimen, even if you have the heart, you don’t have the strength, let alone hurt you, sir.

It's really just a misunderstanding. I think the situation that night was complicated, and the monster must have been causing trouble, causing you to misunderstand."

"Monster, what monster?

You all went out in force, but did you catch him?"

I shook my head.

"The monster is cunning, but my disciple is really incompetent.

But don’t worry, sir, if we capture that evildoer in Ksitigarbha, I will personally escort him to Zhou Jue Palace so that you can be punished.”

Palace Master Zhou Jue stared into my eyes and sneered.

"Hahahaha, what a Beidi..."

As he said that, he actually moved his hand towards me. I subconsciously used the Five Talisman Sutra to resist, but due to the injuries on my body, it seemed very difficult at this time, and cold sweat broke out on my head.

"Sir, what do you mean? This is Beidi Mansion."

Palace Master Zhou Jue was in a stalemate with me for a few seconds, then stopped and turned around.

"Haha, Beidi, your body is getting weaker day by day."

My heart trembled at this moment, and I immediately realized that he was deliberately testing me, and now he could see the serious injuries on my body.

So he already knew that I was the one fighting him that night.

Then he said something coldly.

"Let's meet in Fengdu City."

Then he left with his people, Leng Ningxiang walked at the end, and then turned around and smiled at me.

"There is something good to watch this time, my Beidi."

Soon afterwards, I received the interrogation document from Fengdu City. Palace Master Zhou Jue had reported the matter to the Emperor of Fengdu, who decided to summon me to Fengdu City for trial the next day.

I was restless that night, thinking that Lord Zhou Jue already knew about my injuries. If I used this as evidence, I might not be able to defend myself.

I could lie and say that the conflict between the disciples of the Ksitigarbha Temple and the Tianshi Sect was due to misunderstanding and conspiracy, but the fact that I pretended to be a monster was not clear.

Even if Princess Shengyue said something nice, she probably wouldn't be able to get through it.

Therefore, before I went to Fengdu City for trial, I had already prepared for the worst. If I couldn't hide it anymore, I would bear all the blame alone.

We must not involve Dizang Temple and Tianshimen, let alone expose the positions of Huang Shuai and others.

The next day I entered the main hall of Fengdu City. This was the second time I met Emperor Fengdu for a trial. The first time was when I rescued Huang Shuai from the Hell with Nie Jingnu.

At this time, I saw the various Great Yin Si standing on both sides of the hall, Shen Tu, the other two ghost emperors, and the four palace lords of Luo Feng and Liutian besides the palace lord Zhou Jue were all present.

Emperor Fengdu was sitting on the throne, while Palace Master Zhou Jue and I were standing in the middle of the hall.

At this time, Palace Master Zhou Jue was smiling, because he had already reported everything to Emperor Fengdu in advance, and now he only had to wait for the outcome of the trial.

Emperor Fengdu took the big seal and slapped it on the table

, that big seal was the Dragon Seal, and he asked me at this time: "Northern Emperor Yang Xinchen, I want to ask you, are you the messenger of the Dizang Temple?"

"yes."

"Do you have a close relationship with the Celestial Masters in the underworld?"

"yes."

"On the night Lord Zhou Jue attacked the rebels in Qingqiu, did the disciples from the Tianshi Sect and Dizang Temple appear in Qingqiu?"

"yes."

"Last question, are you colluding with the Qingqiu rebels and intending to help the Fox King escape?"

"no!"

At this time, Palace Master Zhou Jue looked at me with disdain, but did not speak. He felt that Emperor Fengdu had his own judgment.

After that, Emperor Fengdu carefully read the documents recorded by the judge, pondered for a moment, and said: "The disciples of Ksitigarbha Temple and the Tianshi Sect accidentally injured the underworld's underworld in the process of eliminating demons. This is considered a major mistake of spiritual cultivators.

Beidi, as the leader of Ksitigarbha Monastery, you also have a great responsibility. I will fine you Ksitigarbha Monastery and Tianshi Sect to pay 800 taels of gold to Zhou Jue Palace. You should take this as a warning in the future.

As for the loss of our imperial army in Fengdu City, since your original intention of exterminating the demons was good, I will not pursue it."

After hearing this result, I was stunned, and so was Palace Master Zhou Jue.

With Emperor Fengdu's intention, I only need to pay a price of eight hundred taels of gold to settle this matter.

Nie Jingnu saved a lot of money for me when she was in charge of Beidi Mansion. These eight hundred taels of gold are nothing at all.

Palace Master Zhou Jue was stunned for a long time, and then said anxiously: "Great Emperor, this matter is not that simple!"

It seemed that Palace Master Zhou Jue had already told Emperor Fengdu that he suspected me of pretending to be a monster, but Emperor Fengdu completely forgot about it during the trial.

When you interrogated me just now, you just made a show of it. It seems that the generous gift I gave to Princess Shengyue must have worked.

However, Palace Master Zhou Jue lost an eye because of the Qingqiu incident. Now she saw that the emperor intended to protect me, but she still refused to give up.

In front of all the underworld officials, I objected to the outcome of the trial and revealed my suspicion that I was pretending to be a monster and deliberately setting a trap for his underworld army.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Emperor Fengdu showed a troubled expression.

He favored me because of Princess Shengyue's words, but now in front of so many underworlds, if there is real evidence, it is impossible for him to confuse right and wrong.

Palace Master Zhou Jue did not hesitate to oppose the emperor, which shows that he also knew this very well.

He was determined today to make me pay for destroying his eye.
