Reporting to the Heavenly Court and Turning the Tables

Zhunti then addressed the Jade Emperor and the Human Path, saying, "Your Majesty, gentlemen, this demon has violated the Immortal Dao, and we should punish him severely. We beg you all to forgive him!"

"Zhunti, do you know what crime you have committed?" Taiyi Golden Immortal Wen Zhong snorted coldly. He was the kind of person Zhunti disliked the most, so they had always been at odds. Now that Zhunti had done something wrong, how could he not teach him a good lesson?

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, I don't know what law I've broken. I'm just a member of the Chan Sect. Do you think members of the Chan Sect should be severely punished for making mistakes? If so, then I suggest you reform the Chan Sect, otherwise Chan Sect will eventually go astray," Zhunti replied with a smile.

Wen Zhong was speechless at his words, and laughed angrily, "Hahaha, hahaha, Zhunti, you're really something! Good, good, today I'll see whether my punishment is heavier or yours!"

Enraged, Wen Zhong ordered the heavenly soldiers to Zhunti away, and then ordered them to take Luo Hou away and imprison him as well.

Upon Zhunti that he was being taken to prison, Zhunti was terrified and hurriedly said, "Wait! I am a disciple of the Chan Sect, and I am going to the Heavenly Court to be judged. You cannot arrest me!"

"Zhunti, you have violated the Heavenly Laws and should be imprisoned! Do you know that the Heavenly Court has Heavenly Laws? Do you know the Heavenly Rules? Do you know why I am so angry? Do you know why I have imprisoned you?" Wen Zhong sneered.

"Whatever the reason, you cannot arrest me today. I am a member of the Chan Sect," Zhunti.

"Hehe, Zhunti, I think you'd better come with me obediently! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!" Wen Zhong shouted, and immediately more than a dozen heavenly soldiers rushed in front of Zhunti and grabbed him. Zhunti shouted, "No, you can't do this, or you will be punished!"

"Heh, Zhunti, you're really delusional. I have the Three Purities Sage behind me, do you think they'd deal with me over such a trivial matter? I advise you to save your breath!"

After Wen Zhong finished speaking, he left with Zhunti.

Seeing Wen Zhong take Zhunti away, everyone shook their heads, secretly marveling at how extraordinary Wen Zhong truly was!

"Alas, what a pity. Zhunti such a talented person, yet he doesn't know how to cherish him and instead keeps causing trouble. Now look what's happened; he's finally been captured by Wen Zhong," Guanyin sighed softly.

"Bodhisattva, you don't need to feel sorry for Zhunti. Although Zhunti is Zhunti, he has some weaknesses, namely his personality," Nüwa said with a smile.

"Oh? Lady Nüwa, tell me, what is Zhunti's weakness?" Wen Zhong asked, intrigued by Nüwa's words.

"Zhunti is power-hungry. His greatest hobby is money. He loves gold and silver jewelry, fine wine and delicacies, and most of all, beautiful girls. So this is where Zhunti's weakness lies," Nüwa explained.

"The Lady Nüwa is indeed powerful," Wen Zhong praised.

"Not at all, not at all, Your Majesty is truly amazing," Nüwa said modestly.

"Alright! Now that Zhunti has been captured by Wen Zhong, let's continue with the Peach of Immortality Banquet!" the Jade Emperor said with a smile.

"Alright, let's continue!" Nüwa said.

After Luo Hou was imprisoned in the Heavenly Court, his life was miserable. During his time in prison, he suffered endless torture, being whipped and forced to kneel every day, and sometimes even struck by heavenly lightning. Not only that, his injuries worsened, and eventually he even fell into a coma.

On this day, while Luo Hou was being whipped by heavenly soldiers and generals in the prison, someone suddenly ran into the prison, shouting, "Stop! Stop! Luo Hou has been captured!"

Upon hearing this, the heavenly soldiers and generals immediately stopped beating Luo Hou. Seeing this, Luo Hou opened his eyes and found his arms covered in blood. Looking at him like this, the heavenly soldiers and generals felt a little sorry for him, but they knew that if they didn't teach him a lesson today, wouldn't he bully them in the future?

"Luo Hou, you're awake?" At this moment, a celestial soldier ran to Luo Hou's side and asked with concern.

"Thank you!" Luo Hou said weakly to the man. Upon seeing this, the man sighed inwardly. Looking at Luo Hou, their eyes were filled with pity, but also some disappointment. After all, they really hoped that Luo Hou would be beaten to death, so that they would have one less competitor. They did not want Luo Hou to live; they only wanted him to die.

"Cough cough cough, I, I'm fine now, thank you everyone!" Luo Hou said after coughing for a while.

"You should rest well! We'll head out now." With that, the man walked outside. The other heavenly soldiers and generals also left the prison.

At this moment, the man walked to the prison gate and locked it.

"Alas, what a pity for such a talented person as Luo Hou." The man sighed and left.

Inside the prison, Luo Hou saw that he was locked up and knew that they had given up on him. Luo Hou was filled with sorrow, and a look of desolation appeared on his face. He knew that he was finished, completely finished. He knew that this time he had truly fallen, fallen into the hands of Wen Zhong, the Lord of Heavenly Court.

At this moment, he also felt a sense of despair, knowing that his life was about to end.

Just then, a powerful Law Power suddenly shot into the sky. Luo Hou looked up in surprise and saw a huge black hole appear in the sky.

"Huh? What is this... what is this thing? Why do I feel a familiar power from this thing? Could this be...?" Luo Hou saw the familiar power coming from the black hole, and suddenly he thought of someone, "It's him?" he murmured.

He suddenly realized that the power in this black hole belonged to that mysterious person. He knew that the mysterious person's name was Wen Zhong, and his strength was unfathomable. He was the number one expert under the tutelage of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and also the ruler of the Heavenly Court.

Thinking of this, Luo Hou was shocked. He didn't understand what he had done wrong, or how he had offended such a person.

"Luo Hou, I won't let you die so easily. I'll make you suffer all the cruelest tortures in the world before you die. Just wait to die!" Luo Hou said through gritted teeth.

At this moment, a voice rang out from outside the prison, "Luo Hou, don't struggle anymore, you can't escape, you've already been captured, you can't run away, just accept your fate!" A majestic voice rang out from outside the prison.

"You... you, Wen Zhong, what exactly are you trying to do?" Upon hearing the voice, Luo Hou's face showed a hint of fear. He saw Wen Zhong slowly emerging from the black hole, and a strong sense of unease rose in his heart.
