Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

"I didn't expect you to be such a good person, actually thinking of helping Huangfu Longdou resolve his inner conflict..."

"I'm not that kind-hearted. I just wanted him to be able to do one thing for me before he died!"

Li Moxuan raised an eyebrow at Cao Yanbing, "What, isn't my General Who Conquers the West going to give me a report on his work?"

"You have so many men in the Western Expeditionary Army, do you still need me to report to you?"

"Really? Cao Yanbing, you don't want to go back to delivering food to support your family, do you?"

Cao Yanbing's face darkened. This guy always uses this to threaten him, and the key is that he has no way to retaliate. The salary he offers is indeed high!

I received a lot of wages when I came back this time. It seems much more worthwhile to work for him than to deliver food myself!

After organizing his vocabulary, Cao Yanbing still felt his mind was a mess. "I don't know how to report it either, but as long as it's progressing smoothly, you don't need to worry!"

"You..."

Li Moxuan was speechless. "Forget it, no wonder Fengzha and the others always say you're just a brute. Your brain isn't even as good as Yuchi Lietang's..."

"How could that be? I just prefer things to be simple and straightforward. Why waste so much breath when a fight can solve everything?"

"Let's not talk about this anymore..."

Li Moxuan patted the table. "Come sit down, want to have a drink together?"

"forget it!"

Cao Yanbing waved his hand, "I don't really like drinking..."

"You don't believe me when I say your brain isn't as good as Yuchi Lietang's..."

Li Moxuan poured himself two cups of tea. "Alcohol is forbidden in the Prison Abyss, so this is just tea. Of course, there are exceptions..."

For example, I just helped Huangfu Long resolve his inner conflict...

"I can rest assured that!"

Cao Yanbing sat down opposite Li Moxuan, picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Heh, this tea is much better than Xia Ling's. How about you give me two jin?"

"Just go to the shop and pick it up yourself later! Just tell them my name..."

After a pause, Li Moxuan put down his teacup. "Cao Yanbing, are you really not planning to let your guardian spirits continue to serve you?"

"Um……"

Cao Yanbing leaned back in his chair, tilting his head back. "Only Xu Chu and Dian Wei are still willing to obey my orders. As for the other generals..."

"They all followed me to realize the Cao family's ambition of hegemony, but now I have disappointed them!"

He took a deep breath. "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions. I don't want to force them to continue working for me. But you..."

Cao Yanbing opened his eyes again, sat up straight, and rested his hands on the table.

"When do you plan to oust that Grand Emperor? Do you intend to follow that old man's example and have your son do this kind of thing?"

"The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is. Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't I preparing right now?"

Cao Yanbing was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened. "Who are you calling a eunuch?"

Li Moxuan sighed, "It's just an idiom. Why are you, an illiterate person, taking it so personally?"

"really?"

Cao Yanbing felt he had been tricked, but having no evidence, he simply ended the topic.

When will your Formless Gate be repaired?

"Look, you're in such a hurry again..."

"I……"

Cao Yanbing's face flushed red, looking somewhat angry. He just couldn't understand how he could always be outmaneuvered by this guy. Could it be that he hadn't read enough books?

"Okay, I was just kidding!"

Li Moxuan took a sip of tea. "If we repair the Wuxiang Sect now, the credit will only go to Da Yutian to solidify his position, so it's not the right time yet, understand?"

Take the Great Wall, for example. Everyone knows that it was built by order of Qin Shi Huang, but many people don't know who was in charge of its construction unless they actively search for information.

Even if people know who was in charge of building it, many still attribute the credit for the Great Wall to Qin Shi Huang, for the same reason.

Repairing the Wuxiang Gate is the top priority for restoring the balance between the human and underworld realms. If the Wuxiang Gate is repaired, Li Moxuan can't possibly say that he has nothing to do with Da Yutian, can he?

“Cao Yanbing…”

Li Moxuan glanced back at the direction of the prison cell. "You're asking this because you're in a hurry to send your parents to reincarnation?"

"I'm not in a hurry. How long has our family been together? Xiao Liang hasn't even had enough time with them yet!"

"Then why are you asking this?"

Li Moxuan quietly sipped his tea. "You know, as long as a spirit doesn't suffer fatal damage or become an evil spirit, it can live on forever. That's practically immortality!"

"Not to mention that your parents can still retain their memories from their previous lives, so why are they in such a hurry to reincarnate?"

Cao Yanbing shook his head. "They asked me to ask, but they didn't tell me why I needed to ask..."

He looked up at Li Moxuan and said, "You're so smart, can you tell me why they're asking this?"

"I may be smart, but I can't read minds. You'd better figure it out yourself. I have a ton of things to do right now..."

Li Moxuan leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples; he did indeed have a lot of things to do.

For example, having the Great Emperor step down and establish a new dynasty, sending Gavin and the others back to their respective eras, helping the Heavenly Fox rebuild the Wasteland of the Wild Gods, and dealing with this group of Spirit Masters...

As for the affairs of the underworld, Li Moxuan had already handed them over to Yuan Xichen. With the help of the newly recruited Fang Wencheng and Du Shuze, his job was much easier.

Besides them, Fan Tianyin is also learning from Yang Qianhong how to help handle these matters...

"Yanbing, let's go!"

Cao Yanming and Tang Xiaoxiao walked out of the cell and nodded to Li Moxuan, "Thank you for letting us see him one last time!"

"You're welcome, you helped me out too!"

"Then we'll be going now!"

Cao Yanbing led his parents away from this floor. "Dad, Mom, come on, I got paid! I'll take you to Zhenxiu Pavilion for a good meal!"

"Great, my son has made something of himself!"

After they left, Li Moxuan pushed open the cell door and walked into Huangfu Longdou's cell. "How did the conversation go?"

Huangfu Longdou breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on his face. "Thank you for helping me resolve this!"

He knew that without Li Moxuan's permission, he would never have the chance to see his former comrades and brothers again...

"You saved Shui'er in the Forest of the Void Gods back then, so consider this repayment of your favor!"

He paused, then continued, "Besides that, I actually want to ask you for a favor, but you'll die after I do it. I don't know if you..."

"No need to say anything!"

Huangfu Longdou raised his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "I was going to die anyway. Now that my heart is at peace, I have nothing left to hold me back in this world!"

"I'll help you with this. If you can make a lasting contribution before you die, that's much better than dying a pathetic death in a dark prison cell..."

Chapter 275: My lord, times have changed.

"What? My...my beloved minister, I may now visit my subjects in the Prison Abyss?"

Da Yutian looked at Li Moxuan with a look of surprise. He had always wanted to go to the Zhenyu Tianyuan to see the Spirit Master who had returned with him, but Li Moxuan always refused with various reasons.

Having witnessed Kan's beheading before his eyes, Da Yutian was traumatized and had no choice but to go along with Li Moxuan's wishes.

Li Moxuan chuckled softly, "What are you saying, Great Emperor? The beings of the Underworld are all your subjects, while those are merely sinners..."

"Oh right, right, they are criminals..."

Da Yutian sensed something was amiss, swallowed hard, and mustered his courage to ask, "Then, why would you, my dear minister, suggest that I meet with those officials... no, those criminals?"

"Hasn't the Great Emperor always wanted to see them?"

Without batting an eye, Li Moxuan fabricated a lie, "These criminals will all be executed at noon the day after tomorrow, and the Great Emperor will never see them again..."

"What?! Slay...slay?!"

Seemingly realizing he had spoken too loudly, Da Yutian quickly covered his mouth, his face showing undisguised shock.

He forced a smile and said, "My dear minister, isn't this a bit too hasty?"

If he were to kill them all, he would lose all his foundation and have no chance of ever recovering...

"Ok?"

Li Moxuan asked expressionlessly, "Does the Great Emperor think I'm being too hasty?"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that..."

The Great Emperor hurriedly waved his hand, "Then, let's do as you say, and kill them at noon the day after tomorrow!"

"Then please rest, Your Majesty! I'll get back to work!"

"it is good……"

Li Moxuan left Da Yutian inside the hall and walked out alone. As soon as he stepped out of the hall, he ran into Mu Li, whose face was slightly pale.

"Muli? What brings you here?"

Muli tried to keep her expression normal, and with a smile, she picked up a lunchbox. "Brother Moxuan, this is what General Cao ordered for you at the Zhenxiu Pavilion. He said he's treating you to dinner..."

"This Cao Yanbing, didn't he even ask who owns the Zhenxiu Pavilion? Do I need him to invite me?"

Although Li Moxuan was a little speechless, he still accepted the lunchbox. "Thanks, Muli. I'll take it back to Zichen Palace to eat. If you're going back to Youmeng Residence, we're going the same way. Want to come along?"

"No need, Brother Moxuan..."

Muli smiled and waved her hand in refusal, explaining, "I made plans with Shui'er and the others to go shopping together..."

shop?

Li Moxuan looked up at the sky; the moon was already high in the sky. "Going shopping so late at night, you guys are really strange..."

He turned around and waved goodbye to Muli, "In that case, I'll head back now, bye!"

"OK Bye Bye!"
