"Your Majesty, please enlighten me."

Following Granny Yang's voice.

Lin Youxian's beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light as she slowly said, "First of all, Ye Xiaofan is a demon sealer, possessing the ability to subdue demons."

"Secondly, the true purpose of the Third Prince of the Demon Dragon Kingdom, Long Jingtian, coming to my Netherworld City was not merely to pursue Shi Yu."

"His true purpose is probably to disrupt the millennium ritual of my Other Shore Demon Kingdom!"

Granny Yang paused for a moment, then said, "So, if someone else killed Long Jingtian, then he actually did a good thing for my Other Shore Demon Kingdom?"

"Your Majesty wants to let him go, so you're having Ye Xiaofan take the blame, right?"

But Lin Youxian shook her head again and said, "No!"

Granny Yang was even more astonished and somewhat confused, not knowing His Majesty's intentions.

The other Saint-level expert beside him was also astonished.

Lin Youxian's alluring face was breathtaking as she slowly said, "If this wasn't Ye Chen's doing, then the one who truly killed Long Jingtian was essentially toying with me. How could I possibly let such a person go?"

"His methods are so skillful that I dare not let him go."

"But since he did this, and Ye Xiaofan is the ninth generation of the Demon Sealing Master, I may be able to make use of him."

Granny Yang thought to herself, "As expected of Her Majesty the Empress."

She had cultivated for thousands of years, yet she couldn't keep up with His Majesty's train of thought.

She then asked, "Your Majesty, how should we utilize it?"

Lin Youxian's eyes flashed, and she said, "I plan to send Ye Xiaofan to subdue the Second Prince of the Demon Dragon Kingdom, and make him a puppet loyal to me."

"In the short term, this can protect the Millennium Festival from threats from the Demon Dragon Kingdom. In the long term, it can also make the Second Prince of the Demon Dragon Kingdom my spy within the Demon Dragon Kingdom."

Granny Yang was startled, and the old man beside her also trembled.

They were all astonished that Lin Youxian had such a plan.

Such a scheme was beyond their wildest imagination.

After a moment, Granny Yang said admiringly, "Your Majesty is wise beyond my reach. This plan is quite ingenious, but will Ye Xiaofan listen to Your Majesty?"

Lin Youxian sneered and said, "He has no choice but to listen. No one can escape the control that I, Lin Youxian, want to control."

Beside Granny Yang was a powerful demon of saint-level transformed from a locust tree, known as Old Man Locust.

At this moment, he understood Lin Youxian's intention and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that the Demon Sealing lineage possesses unfathomable abilities and is the nemesis of the demon race. The power of the Demon Sealing lineage's contract is also extremely powerful. Your Majesty should be careful."

At this point, he added, "If you absolutely must control him, I don't recommend using the contract slave seal, lest he break it. You can consider other methods."

Lin Youxian nodded and said, "Elder Huai, what you've thought of, I've also considered. As for the so-called Lord of Demon Sealing, some slave seals containing contracts are probably ineffective."

"I intend to use the Ten Thousand Year Soul Curse, a unique spell of my Other Shore Clan!"

"Anyone who falls under this curse will have their life and soul under my control."

"If Ye Xiaofan disobeys me, I will immediately activate the Ten Thousand Year Soul Curse to annihilate him, body and soul."

Lin Youxian spoke slowly.

Even though things have changed, as a clever empress, Lin Youxian can still steer things in a direction that benefits her.

Using the Ten Thousand Year Soul Curse seems somewhat cruel.

But Lin Youxian will not show mercy to her enemies!

Of course, if the person who killed the Third Prince was not Ye Chen, then...

Lin Youxian will definitely find that person.

Overall, this is a three-birds-with-one-stone strategy.

Firstly, this method can be used to resolve the crisis from the Demon Dragon Kingdom.

Secondly, she wanted Ye Xiaofan to subdue the second prince of the Demon Dragon Kingdom and make him obey her.

This has significant strategic importance for her future plans.

Third, it can also lull the real culprit into a false sense of security, making him lower his guard.

This also made it easier for her to find him.

The two Saint-level experts were unaware of Lin Youxian's third intention, but they were still shocked by the scheme.

Granny Yang looked at Lin Youxian and said, "Your Majesty, since that's the case, why not have the executioners stop? If Ye Xiaofan dies, the plan will fall through."

Lin Youxian sneered and said, "No rush. How could a dignified ninth-generation demon-sealing master be easily tortured to death?"

Granny Yang was speechless.

Lin Youxian, however, used her position to settle personal scores.

No matter how extraordinary Ye Xiaofan's identity is, or how useful he is to her.

But it is an undeniable fact that he wanted to subdue her and planned to collude with the four kings.

Lin Youxian held a grudge against him and would never let him off easily.

Thinking of this, Lin Youxian used her divine sense to send a telepathic message to the people executing Ye Chen, ordering them, "Continue beating him, add some heat, beat him hard."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

...

Time passed day by day.

Gu Jian followed the duties of the Grand General and did what he was supposed to do.

Aside from secretly investigating matters related to Ye Chen.

Gu Jian would also contact Hua Mudan after shielding the array's secrets.

Feeling very pleased with herself for having helped Gu Jian so much, Hua Mudan even suggested that Gu Jian should leave Youming City quietly.

Lin Youxian is so cunning.

Staying in the Underworld City is dangerous.

But Gu Jian flatly refused, telling her that he had an important plan.

Hua Mudan was very curious about Gu Jian's plan.

But Gu Jian didn't tell her, which made Hua Mudan very depressed.

In the following time, Gu Jian took Tu Xiaowu into the seed space.

Earn longevity points by playing "games".

Mo Qiao, Na Wa, and Mo Yue were also brought into the seed space by Gu Jian.

Gu Jian took it all in stride, since Mo Qiao, Na Wa, and Mo Yue were all his servants.

But I need longevity points.

In their spare time, it's only right to ask them to help them accumulate some longevity points.

However, after each game, Mo Qiao, Na Wa, and Mo Yue would all blush very much.

Gu Jian was quite pleased with himself for this.

I have a feeling that the demonic energy within me is growing stronger.

But Gu Jian didn't mind.

He originally wanted to be a demon king in a chaotic world.

Gu Jian also had a very good attitude towards Ye Chen's matter.

It would be best if Lin Youxian could execute Ye Chen.

If I can't kill him, I'll just do it myself.

Time passed day by day.

News of Ye Chen's death has not yet spread.

But Gu Jian discovered that Lin Youxian had stopped investigating the death of the Third Prince.

It was as if she had already decided that Ye Chen was the final murderer.

There are ten days left until the millennium celebration.

Long Jinghong, the second prince of the Demon Dragon Kingdom, arrived in the Netherworld City.

Empress Lin Youxian personally delivered the dying Ye Chen to Long Jinghong and told him...

Ye Xiaofan is the murderer!

Gu Jian saw this happening but made no comment.

After returning to the General's Mansion that evening, Feng Yantong took the initiative to ask to go into the Seed Space with Gu Jian.

"Jian'er, don't you feel that something is wrong with this?"
