Gu Jian asked, "Has anything significant happened in the Demon Kingdom of the Other Shore recently?"
Ji Baihe felt that the strategist was unfathomable.
With her intelligence, she was somewhat unable to keep up with the strategist's pace.
Ji Baihe's eyes sparkled with a lively light, and then she said, "Strategist, yes. Every thousand years, the Demon Kingdom of the Other Shore holds an important sacrifice and ceremony, which is called the Millennium Sacrifice."
“Every millennium festival has the potential to summon a powerful holy demon from ancient times.”
"Currently, half of the holy demons in the Other Shore Demon Kingdom were summoned through the Millennium Sacrifice."
"oh?"
Gu Jian was surprised; it was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.
Through a certain ceremony, the holy demon is summoned.
Gu Jian looked at Hua Baihe and said, "Baihe, tell me in detail about the Millennium Sacrifice. Tell me everything you know."
"Yes, strategist..."
Hua Baihe nodded and began to speak at length.
After about two and a half incense sticks' worth of time, Hua Baihe finally finished telling the story related to the Millennium Festival.
This is an important ceremony to be held three months from now, which will be presided over by Empress Lin Youxian herself.
This is a unique ceremony inherited from the Demon Kingdom of the Other Shore.
The otherworldly realm of demons existed before the demons descended upon the world.
The ceremony was also extremely cruel.
It requires the sacrifice of more than 100,000 living beings, whether human, demon, or monster.
The stronger the capability, the better the effect.
On one hand, the eight demon kings were recruiting soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, a thousand-year sacrifice requiring more than 100,000 lives was to be held.
Gu Jian had a feeling that this matter was not simple.
Or is there some kind of connection between the two?
At this moment, Ji Baihe's voice rang out again, "By the way, strategist, there is one more thing, but I don't know if I should tell you."
Gu Jian asked in surprise, "What is it?"
Ji Baihe smiled and said, "This matter is related to Lin Shiyu, the younger sister of Empress Lin Youxian of the Other Shore."
Gu Jian asked Ji Baihe in surprise, "Empress Lin Youxian has a younger sister?"
Ji Baihe chuckled and said, "That's right, she's my younger sister, and my biological younger sister at that. Lin Shiyu is not only the younger sister of Empress Lin Youxian, but also the head of the Eight Kings. She is the most beautiful demoness in the Other Shore Demon Kingdom besides the Empress."
At this point, Ji Baihe glanced at Gu Jian and smiled, "It's just that she has unique tastes, especially fond of human poetry."
"Before this millennium ceremony, about ten days from today, she will hold a poetry gathering in the City of the Underworld."
"Anyone with talent, whether a demon cultivator or a demonic cultivator, can participate."
"Whoever wins first place in the poetry competition will gain her favor and become her intimate guest."
"I wonder if the strategist would be interested?"
"Hmm?" Gu Jian felt that the style of the scene was a bit strange.
They were discussing serious business.
Why does it suddenly feel like you're turning into a pimp?
Gu Jian knew what the so-called "guests who have entered his inner circle" meant.
It's nothing more than inviting someone behind a curtain, having a drink, and touching hands.
Then, when passion strikes, they entwine and moan and groan.
So, this vixen named Lin Shiyu is truly free-spirited!
What an adorable fairy!
Gu Jian smiled and asked, "What benefits are there in being her lover?"
Ji Baihe smiled and said, "Strategist, it is said that Lin Shiyu will also introduce the winner of the poetry competition to the Netherworld Queen."
Introduce him to the Underworld Queen?
Gu Jian's heart stirred upon hearing this.
At this moment, Gu Jian couldn't help but think of his good junior brother, Ye Chen.
Before transmigrating, I had read countless online novels.
Gu Jian knew that those destined for greatness possessed extraordinary luck.
He could easily win the heart of the female lead.
Under normal circumstances.
Gu Jian felt that if he didn't interfere, Ye Chen would most likely win the poetry competition and become Lin Shiyu's lover, following the development of the plot.
After Lin Shiyu introduces him to the Netherworld Queen, he will likely use the halo of the chosen one to subdue the Netherworld Queen.
"Ye Chen, he looks like a lecherous man."
"Given his personality, he will most likely compete for first place in this poetry competition."
"In that case, I'll participate too."
Gu Jian stated that it was definitely not for the sake of having sex with the Empress's sister.
It was simply a slap in the face to Ye Chen.
Incidentally, he cut off the opportunity that originally belonged to him.
Furthermore, no matter how talented a person is, their poetic talent cannot compare to that of the countless poets throughout China's five thousand years of history.
Gu Jian claimed that he could easily defeat him.
Having made up his mind, Gu Jian then turned to Ji Baihe and said, "Baihe, since that's the case, I'll go too."
"Strategist, I knew you'd be interested."
Ji Baihe chuckled and then suggested, "However, the strategist is too famous in my Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. If you participate in this poetry gathering, it would be best not to use your own name, and the same goes for your identity."
Gu Jian nodded. It seemed that neither Li Bai's name nor his own name could be used.
It doesn't matter.
He smiled and said, "That's simple. As for my identity, I'll just be the retainer you recruited."
"As for the name..."
Gu Jian thought for a moment and said, "Let's call him... Du Dafu."
Du Dafu?!
Ji Baihe was immediately surprised.
It was the first time she had heard this name, and she found it quite strange.
However, for some reason, just by silently reciting the name once, a surge of talent seemed to emanate from her.
Long Jun was immediately surprised and asked, "Master, why is he called Du Dafu? Is this a powerful name?"
