Chapter 351: Severe Punishment to Correct the Atmosphere

Di Jiang frowned. As the number of people in the formation gradually decreased, the pressure he faced became more and more intense. If it continued, he might not be able to escape the end of being arrested.

Looking around, Di Jiang became more and more anxious, and his eyes couldn't help but focus on Xi and Chang Xi.

Among the people in Heaven present, these two were the only ones with noble status and little achievements. If they were held hostage, they would have the possibility of escaping.

Qi, Taiyi, Xihe, and Chang Xi naturally noticed it and said angrily:

"I don't know what it means."

"Seeking death"

"presumptuous!"

"How brave!"

In an instant, the Donghuang Bell rang again, and the time and space in the formation became silent. The chains flying around condensed in the air and no longer moved at all.

Di Jiang flew backwards, blood was spilled, and his body was covered with cracks.

A giant hand fell from the sky, held Di Jiang tightly, and squeezed it gently, and the sound of broken bones continued to be heard.

The next moment, the exclamations of Hou Tu and others were heard in the formation:

"Brother!"

Qi was extremely angry at Di Jiang's boldness and had no intention of watching this farce anymore. A sharp light flashed in his eyes and he shouted coldly:

"Heavenly soldiers and generals will obey orders and use all their strength to capture the thieves, regardless of life or death."

"Got the order!"

Jie Yin Zhunti could not bear to close his eyes again and muttered something in his mouth, but no sound came out.

Yinglong and Qiming Changgeng no longer held back, and directly inserted themselves into the crowd. Their attacks were extremely ruthless and merciless.

On the other hand, the few people left in the field are now restricted in every way. They are willing to compete, but they are restricted by the chains flying in the sky, and they are also concerned about the identity of the other party's heaven.

All of a sudden, both the Ancestral Witch and Yuanzi from Hongyun Town were retreating steadily.

Holding the White Jade Festival in his hand, he waved it down towards the only remaining purple-robed Taoist on Hongyun's side. The unparalleled clear light streaked across the sky, passed through the crowd, and fell into the ground.

A deep valley suddenly appeared on the ground, and the body of the purple-robed Taoist was frozen on the spot. Everyone in the scene, whether they belonged to the Heavenly Court, the Wu Clan, Hongyun Town Yuanzi, etc., all focused their gazes on him.

I saw a breeze blowing by, and tiny spots of light kept flying out from the purple-robed Taoist's body. In this gentle breeze, his figure gradually disappeared.

After the breeze, there was no trace of the purple-robed Taoist in the formation, and not even the true spirit was left behind.

Thunder exploded in the sky and rain of blood fell, indicating that another innate god had passed away.

Hongyun's eyes were full of shock and anger, and she cried sadly:

"Zixu...!"

But before he could finish speaking, the next clear light arrived, and its target was none other than Hong Yun.

Zhen Yuanzi had no time to persuade, so he could only grit his teeth and offer the Book of Earth as a sacrifice. The fetal membrane of the Earth appeared in front of everyone again, crumbling under the clear light of the White Jade Festival.

Qi's brows suddenly furrowed and he said:

"Heavenly soldiers and generals obey orders and set up a formation to seal the law and forbidden ways. The earth's membrane is very important. Directly seal the treasure book and do not damage the earth's membrane."

"Got the order!"

The inscriptions on countless chains changed, constantly entangled in the protection formed by the Book of the Earth, and the membrane of the earth was gradually peeled away from the Book of the Earth.

Within the barrier, Zhen Yuanzi looked at the red clouds in front of him, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, even mixed with a little relief, and he pretended to be relaxed:

"It seems that you and I can't escape today. I just didn't know that you and I have caused such a disaster and now fall into the hands of heaven. I'm afraid we won't be able to leave easily."

Hongyun looked guilty, and faced Zhen Yuanzi, who was pretending to be relaxed, and said softly:

"I have dragged down Brother Tao this time. Since you and I got along, I have been very sorry to Brother Tao. The kindness and karma caused by this, if there is an afterlife, I will repay it to Brother Tao."

Hongyun thought that since the experience, she had always pulled Zhen Yuanzi into whirlpools, whether it was the fairy court back then, today, or the tribulations in the past.

He may be invited by friends, or he may be involved in various things out of loyalty, and the results may be good or bad, but Zhen Yuanzi is always by his side.

He clearly knew that Zhen Yuanzi liked to meditate, but he would eventually be involved. In the past, there were many near misses, and there were often gains, but today, he was really in danger.

Thinking of this, Hongyun's face became more and more guilty, while Zhen Yuanzi just felt that the book of the earth was constantly losing control, and said with a smile:

"I have been dragged down to this in this life. I will not dare to interact with you in the next life."

Hongyun was suddenly stunned. When she was at a loss, she saw Zhen Yuanzi continue to speak:

"But fortunately, I don't regret it. Although my past experiences were full of hardships, they were also very wonderful. Now it seems that it is a kind of practice."

Hongyun felt better after hearing this, but she still responded:

"You also know that I am a drag and a restraint on you. If so, you can't get rid of it easily. Just watch, I will be entangled with you not only in this life, but also in the next life."

"Even if you despise such a friend, I can't bear to part with you. I owe you my life in this life, and I must pay it back in the next life."

After the words fell, Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi looked at each other and laughed endlessly. But in the laughter of the two people, there was no connection between Di Shu and Zhen Yuanzi.

A ray of sunshine shone on Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi, and the two finally came to their senses. Zhen Yuanzi looked around and saw that all the friends who had gathered before had been pierced through the loquat bones, sealing off the six consciousnesses of the soul.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were tied tightly, and all of them were injured. Dijiang's aura was the weakest, and specially refined steel nails penetrated their joints, making them unable to exert any strength at all.

Qi looked at the two of them coldly and said calmly:

"Looking at the way you are laughing, it seems that you have already anticipated your own fate. If this is the case, are you still going to fight like a trapped beast?"

Hongyun shook his head and said calmly:

"We have made a big mistake. We resisted arrest before. The current situation is all our own fault. How can we bother His Majesty the Emperor and fellow Taoists?"

"I have no intention of continuing to struggle. I just pray to His Majesty the Emperor to rest assured and arrest them. However, this incident was caused by me. I hope Your Majesty will be lenient and spare them in the future."

"This matter only needs to be held accountable to me. Don't implicate others. I will bear all the consequences myself."

A trace of disdain flashed in Qi's eyes, and he said bluntly:

"The matter of the earth's fetal membrane is very involved and affects countless sentient beings in the wild. How can you bear it? Can you afford it?"

"At this time, if you want one person to be solely responsible for the crime, please don't involve others. Then have you ever thought about how many people are involved if the earth's fetal membranes are different?"

"As a cultivator, you are innately sacred. Have you ever devoted yourself to the great path? As a friend of the same path, can you be indebted to your friends?"

"Practitioners do not focus on cultivation, but instead travel around to visit friends. This is undisciplined and unprincipled."

"You have many friends, but you don't want to work together. Instead, you are involved in one whirlpool, contaminated by the evil of cause and effect, and your friends are trapped in trouble. This is depravity and injustice."

"Knowing small righteousness but forgetting the great love for all living beings, coveting external things without being cautious, acting recklessly without thinking about the consequences, this is acting recklessly without knowing oneself."

"How can such a person who is so ignorant, reckless, dishonest, depraved and unjust and unaware of himself bear the cause and effect that fills the sky and makes all living beings cry?"

Hongyun was stunned when he heard this, until the heavenly soldiers locked him down, then he smiled sadly and said:

"So that's it. I really harmed others and myself. The suffering I'm going through today was already destined in the past, but I can't live up to those Taoist friends after all."

Zhen Yuanzi was also held tightly by the chain, but after hearing Hongyun's words, he still looked over with concern. He wanted to persuade him, but was interrupted by Hongyun:

"Fellow Taoist Zhen Yuanzi, there is no need to persuade me. Perhaps as Taoist friend said before, if there is an afterlife, it is better not to get involved so as not to be dragged down by me again."

"But if I make such a mistake, I'm afraid I won't be reborn in the future. This is very good, this is very good!"

Hongyun burst out laughing when he said this. Many heavenly soldiers and generals just glanced at him indifferently. Then they held the magic talisman, sealed his six senses, and turned around to walk towards Zhen Yuanzi.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

When Zhen Yuanzi saw this, he just smiled helplessly and did not resist at all. How could the words he just prayed for not be talking about him?

Knowing that his friend was on the wrong road, he did not stop him in the slightest. Instead, he allowed him to ride the horse without restraint.

He knew clearly that the earth's fetal membrane had a great influence in the primitive world and was related to all sentient beings, but he still acted wantonly and followed the evil path.

Knowing that he has done something wrong, he still resists, knowingly doing it over and over again.

For such a person, how can Zhen Yuanzi defend himself? How can one have the face to resist?

As the last spiritual talisman was attached to his seven orifices, Zhen Yuanzi Yuanshen suddenly became dizzy and fell into darkness.

But Qi paid no attention to this. At this moment, Qi was already on his way back to heaven with Taiyi and the others.

In the Heavenly Court, Emperor Jun and Fuxi never stopped. This time the fetal membrane of the earth was damaged, which had a serious impact on the ancient world and caused many hardships to all sentient beings.

Nowadays, the Heavenly Court rules over the prehistoric times. As the supreme beings in the Heavenly Court, the two of them naturally cannot relax.

Even compared to Qi, Taiyi and the others who went to capture Hongyun and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Emperor Jun Fuxi was actually more tired.

Every penny of it needs to be carefully considered by them, whether it is to save all sentient beings at this time or to restore vitality to the ancient times in the future, they have to consider it.

Government orders were issued one after another, and then spread widely throughout the wilderness, intimidating various tribes and ordering them not to take additional actions, and to dispatch supplies in order to reduce the loss of life.

Troubled times require the use of heavy codes. At this time of chaos in the wilderness, the heaven must restrain all tribes and do not let them take this opportunity to invade the heaven and earth.

Otherwise, the man-made disasters after the catastrophe will probably cause greater losses to all sentient beings than this natural disaster.

Di Jun held his forehead slightly, feeling a headache. Faced with the message from Qi, he directly replied:

"This matter is extremely bad, and everything should be dealt with seriously. The Twelve Ancestral Witches are eager to save people. Although it is understandable, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided."

"As punishment, his muscles and bones will be cut off, his flesh and limbs will be broken, and he will be bound to a copper pillar. He will receive eighty-one thunderbolts every day. Every ten days, he will receive five hundred arrows piercing his heart. The pain of the sun and moon will be eclipsed, and crows will peck at him." The bitterness of eating will only stop when the one-yuan meeting expires.”

"Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi, together with their selfish desires and greed for treasures, caused great disasters. Even after the Heavenly Court issued an order, they still did not change their behavior. They knowingly committed the crime and despised the power of Heaven. They will be punished by one level and be punished to correct their morals!"

"Zhen Yuanzi holds the book in his hand and is fully aware of his responsibility, but he never makes any move. He makes mistakes again and again. The crime is still serious and requires additional punishment. After the same punishment as the Wu clan, he will be punished again."

"Jie Ying Zhunti, although he has a plan, he is also a victim. He is afraid, but he does not seek the protection of the power of heaven and instead does dangerous things."

"This disaster has nothing to do with it, and it is not what he wanted. However, there must be punishment. Punishment, ten sticks, fines, ten thousand feet of red clouds, thousands of bottles of spiritual dew, and thousands of golden flowers."

"If you are unable to pay the fine, you can use a staff of thirty as a warning to others!"

Emperor Jun used every stroke with great force, which showed that he was in a bad mood now, and the severity of his punishment made even Fuxi extremely shocked.

Taking advantage of the fact that the order had not yet taken effect, Fuxi quickly spoke to persuade:

"Emperor Jun, the people involved this time are all in the realm of quasi-sages and Hunyuan Dao, and many of them have innate divine beings. If it is so cruel, the impact will be too great."

"Especially Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi, these two are famous in the ancient times. They are both the mainstays of Xuanmen and the pillars of gods."

"The same is true for the twelve ancestral witches. The witch clan is now on the ancient land, and its influence is so wide that no one in the world can surpass it."

"It would be too much to punish him on a copper pillar, especially if the method is so harsh, and the original intention is to rescue and lead Zhunti two people. This will inevitably arouse criticism."

"And you must not forget that the Wu Clan is another protagonist of the catastrophe you and I choose. Their strength is far inferior to that of Heaven. If they go through this ordeal, how can they have a chance to recover?"

Di Jun shook his head and rejected Fuxi's advice, but calmly said:

"If the methods were not cruel, how could those innately holy and spiritual people take these countless living beings in their eyes?"

"The Shintoists pastor the people on behalf of heaven and earth, and the practitioners seek transcendence. But look at today's prehistoric times. How can today's practitioners and gods look free and compassionate?"

"The power of God is untouchable. If you and I let it go easily this time, then if something like this happens again, how will you and I deal with it?"

"How should future generations deal with those who inherit the aspirations of heaven? This is a precedent, and we should deal with everything seriously to correct the unhealthy trends in the past."

"If you and I are harsher in our methods, the people in the future will be more relaxed. If we are a little more lenient, we can make them grateful and enjoy the name of tolerance."

"The road that today's court travels is a grand road opened for future generations. Whether it is wide or narrow, whether it is straight or not, whether it is flat or not, is all between you and me."

"Instead of letting future generations be limited by what happened today, why don't you and I bear some notoriety so that future generations can feel more relaxed."

"Now that we are the Emperor of Heaven, even saints would not dare to look down upon us. All honors come from all sentient beings."

"If you and I don't clear the way for all sentient beings, who will have the slightest pity for them?"
