Fang Jian asked, "Is this a threat to you?"

"Almost." Su Yan said, "It can be considered a threat, but not necessarily."

Fang Jian looked at Su Yan, who continued, "It's more like a desperate plan by parents who have lost their child to die together."

"And..." Su Yan said, "Xu Bao has the potential to become an immortal, which means he is not a person who has done many evil things. As an immortal official in the Heavenly Court, I should be compassionate and do my best to help the people under my jurisdiction."

Fang Jian asked, "What is the Earth God's plan?"

Su Yan said, "I'm trying to think of a way. Besides the Ten Kings of Hell, is there any other way to bring the little snake demon back to life without violating the Heavenly Law?"

The tea was ready. Su Yan brewed a cup of tea for Fang Jian and handed it to him.

Fang Jian took a sip of the spiritual tea from the teacup. The taste was certainly not as good as the spiritual tea he drank in heaven, but in the eyes of a land god, this spiritual tea was already very precious.

"The worst case scenario is that if this matter is not handled properly and Daliuszhuang is destroyed by the couple, I will also be implicated and will inevitably be arrested and interrogated by the Heavenly Court." Su Yan said.

Fang Jian said, "Then we can report this to the Southern Heaven Prefecture and ask them to send down a divine general to exterminate the two demons Xu Bao and Jiang Lan in advance."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan said, "Demons are also living beings in the Three Realms. We must not kill them so indiscriminately. Moreover, while exterminating the two demons may seem simple, the long-term impact will be detrimental to the Heavenly Court. Humans and demons are both living beings under the rule of the Heavenly Court. How can we just exterminate them at will and show favoritism?"

"..." Fang Jian opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing came out.

Su Yan noticed Fang Jian's hesitation and asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you disagree with what I said?"

"No, I agree." Fang Jian said, "You are absolutely right."

After saying this, Fang Jian put down the teacup in his hand and said, "The Earth God generously invited me to drink tea, so I can't be ungrateful."

"Oh?" Su Yan was slightly startled. Just as he was about to wave his hand to decline, he suddenly realized something. He immediately looked at Fang Jian and asked, "Could it be that fellow Daoist has a way to alleviate my worries?"

Fang Jian smiled and said, "There is a way, but it is not guaranteed to succeed. It depends on the opportunities of you and the other two fellow Taoists."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan immediately stood up, bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Please enlighten me, fellow Taoist."

Fang Jian asked, "Do you know the Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor?"

Su Yan said solemnly, "Of course I know. This person is the deity in charge of the underworld in my Heavenly Court."

As soon as Su Yan finished speaking, he looked at Fang Jian and asked, "What do you mean, fellow Daoist? Ask the Emperor of Fengdu to decree that the little snake demon be resurrected?"

The Great Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu is in charge of the underworld, and his status is only second to the Great Emperor of Dongyue. If there is a decree from the Great Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu, wouldn’t it be just a matter of a word to bring the little snake demon back to life?

"No, no." Su Yan immediately waved his hand and said, "I'm just a small land god. I can't even see the Ten Kings of Hell, let alone the Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor? What's more, the Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor is currently attending the Peach Festival, so I can't see him at all."

Fang Jian smiled faintly and said, "Although you can't see the Ten Kings of Hell and the Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor, you can go to the Southern Heaven Palace."

"Huh?" Su Yan was stunned when he heard this, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, I can go to Nantian Mansion."

As the immediate superior of the immortal officials on land in their state, he can go to Nantianfu.

Su Yan immediately understood Fang Jian's intention. Fang Jian wanted him to take Jiang Lan and Xu Bao to ask for an imperial decree from the Southern Continent's Tianjun Mansion. If there was an imperial decree from the Southern Continent's Tianjun Mansion as a guarantee...

"However, the Nantian Prefecture does not have the power to issue a decree to allow people to return to the world of the living, right? The Underworld and the Nantian Prefecture are not subordinate to each other." Su Yan said.

Fang Jian shook his head and said, "That's not what I mean. Fengdu contains a 'yang body'. As long as one has the original spirit and soul, this yang body can be used to return to the living. If there is a decree from the Southern Heaven Palace to go and invite a yang body, and then merge the little snake demon's soul with this yang body, the purpose of returning to the living can also be achieved."

When he took the Ming Emperor's soul from Ziqi Star, he used the yang body he took from Fengdu to bring him back to life.

It's difficult to return someone to the living through the procedures of the underworld, but isn't it simple to invite a living body to come and return to the living? And it won't violate the laws of heaven. Of course, the premise is that the Southern Heaven Palace is willing to issue a decree.

However, Su Yan was already very excited at this moment, "This is a good idea, this is a good idea!"

As Su Yan spoke, he bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist. I'll give you these spiritual teas as a token of my gratitude."

After saying this, Su Yan apologized to Fang Jian again, "There's no time to lose. I need to take the two demons to Nantian Mansion immediately. Fellow Daoist, I'll have to excuse myself for now."

Fang Jian chuckled and said, "Just let the Earth God get back to his business. There's plenty of time for tea, so one day won't be too much of a waste."

Su Yan apologized again and again before bidding farewell to Fang Jian and using his earth-escaping technique to fly towards Longying Mountain.

Fang Jian waved his sleeves to put the spiritual tea away, and then a fairy light flashed around him. The next moment, he flew up to the sky and arrived at the Tianjun Palace in the Southern Continent.
