Doomsday Game.

Chu Yan left and went to the palace to accept the summons of Her Majesty the Empress.

Yu Qingxuan and Wu Er stayed at the Demon Slayer Division headquarters to help Chu Yan accept the kindness of their predecessors.

All the demon inner pills above level three in the Demon Slayer Division headquarters and the four major branches will be silently transferred to them, and then secretly put back to their respective warehouses after Chu Yan uses them up.

Other demon slayers basically don't use the power of demon souls, so absorbing the power of demon souls in the inner pills will not cause the quality of these demon pills to decline.

They can still be used to refine extraordinary magic tools and extraordinary elixirs, and even help alchemists save the step of purifying the power of demon souls. If you think about it carefully, it's a good thing.

So the bigwigs of the Demon Slayer Division quickly agreed to Chu Yan's request and felt that they had made a profit.

It's really a good deal to ask Chu Yan to help solve the problem with just this small request!

...

At this time in the palace, the empress's lesson to the civil and military officials finally ended.

The responsibility has been investigated, and now it is time to reward according to merit.

That's why she specially summoned Chu Yan to the palace to meet the emperor.

This time it was in the Zhengtian Hall in the center of the palace, where civil and military officials attended court.

Before entering the palace, Chu Yan first met Princess Jingyang. She was still wearing simple and luxurious casual clothes, heroic and looked like she had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Highness, how can you come to pick me up again? I am really flattered!"

Chu Yan smiled and didn't look serious. Rather than being respectful, it's better to say that he was a street urchin who flirted with beautiful women.

The palace guards around him just pretended not to see it, watching his nose with their eyes and their hearts with their noses. No one dared to jump out to remind him to pay attention to etiquette in front of the princess.

Ji Hanyue was not angry, but looked at Chu Yan seriously for a long while, then bowed and congratulated:

"I just want to congratulate Lord Chu on his great success! Congratulations, Lord Chu, you have made great contributions and successfully proved your ability. No one will dare to question you anymore."

Chu Yan smiled and retorted with a smile, "Your Highness, you are wrong. If you want to congratulate, you should congratulate both of us. This is our common mission. The success of this operation belongs to you and me, and it cannot be attributed to me alone."

Ji Hanyue smiled, her tone was a little gentler, and she said half-jokingly:

"Lord Chu's mouth is really likable. He must be very good at deceiving girls. No wonder he thinks about having three wives and four concubines all day long."

Oh! This girl still remembers this. Isn't she petty?

"Your Highness, I am sincere and just want to reveal my true thoughts to you. Your Highness doesn't want to see me being a hypocrite who pretends to be someone to deceive your husband, right?"

Ji Hanyue was speechless. She found that she really couldn't win against this bitch.

He was not only irritating, but also used his sincerity to irritate her. His honesty made her want to bite him.

She could only yell and turn away: "If you mention these two words to me again, I will fight you!"

Chu Yan laughed even more wildly: "I understand! You are shy! My heart is beating fast! It's really... just TM immature!"

The princess who was walking away quickly in front of her staggered, and then walked faster, faintly a little angry.

Chu Yan hurriedly caught up and followed her all the way to Zhengtian Palace.

At this point, Chu Yan also put away his cynical attitude, became a little more serious, tidied his clothes, and then walked in seriously to meet Her Majesty the Empress.

At this time, there were no civil and military officials in the Zhengtian Palace. There were only the Empress Ji Qingyi and a group of maids and eunuchs. Even the Emperor was not there.

As soon as Chu Yan came in to pay his respects, the Empress began to praise him repeatedly and asked him what reward he wanted.

Chu Yan looked calm and said that he did not need any reward. He just did what was within his duties.

This made the Empress favor him even more. Only Princess Jingyang rolled her eyes and cursed him for being so pretentious.

As expected, after the Empress finished praising him, Chu Yan began to report his work seriously.

The first thing was that the seniors of the Demon Slayer Division got rid of him.

He was also very skillful in making excuses. First, he took the initiative to confess to the Empress that the Demon Slayer Division had also discovered the demon spies, and then explained that these demon spies had actually been discovered by the top leaders of the Demon Slayer Division and were secretly monitored in order to catch the superiors behind the scenes.

As a result, he encountered his actions, which was a coincidence.

In the end, he did not keep making excuses, but took the initiative to admit mistakes on behalf of all the staff of the Demon Slayer Division, saying that they did not do a good job of review and supervision at the beginning, which allowed the demons to sneak in. They, the top leaders of the Demon Slayer Division, have an unshirkable responsibility, and ask Her Majesty the Empress to punish them.

In his words, Chu Yan was like he counted himself as a member of the Demon Slayer Division., as if he was also responsible for it, and he could not escape the punishment of the Majesty.

In this case, the empress could not punish him anymore, and could only warn the Demon Slayer Division to strictly review the process in the future and not give the demons any chance to take advantage of it.

Chu Yan agreed repeatedly, and then said that he had a second important matter to report, and hinted to the empress to dismiss the attendants.

Seeing him making such a commotion again, the empress knew that he might have another important plan, so she asked all the eunuchs and maids around to withdraw.

After there was no one else in the hall, Chu Yan turned around and looked at Princess Jingyang.

This scene seemed familiar.

Her Highness the Princess immediately got angry, gnashing her teeth and glaring:

Bastard! You're here again? Are you deliberately trying to piss me off? !

Chu Yan teased her for a moment, then immediately turned around to report:

"Your Majesty, the second thing I want to say is that I suspect that the demons and spies we eliminated last night may not be all of them..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of the mother and daughter again.

Chu Yan then took Yu Qingxuan's analysis and repeated it. After listening to it, the empress and the princess fell into deep thought. After thinking it over again and again, they both felt that it made sense.

"It's rare that you are so thoughtful, my dear. This is indeed very likely! So let's assume that this conjecture is true. I wonder what you are going to do next?"

Chu Yan was in high spirits, planning and talking freely:

"Your Majesty, I think those demon undercovers who moved ahead will definitely not give up the results they created before. They should think that they are safe now and will relax their vigilance after we win this victory. We can make good use of this."

"We can loosen up in the open and tighten up in the dark, and search all suspicious people in secret."

"People who have recently left the imperial capital and returned, or people who come to the imperial capital later, can be listed as key targets for investigation."

"Also, we can..."

...

Chu Yan said several ideas in a row, which were basically no problem. They were all methods that normal people could think of under known conditions.

After he finished speaking, the empress also decisively made the decision. While agreeing, she also gave him more power.

But she suddenly took out a gorgeous and simple dragon-patterned sword from the storage space and threw it directly to Chu Yan:

"Just do it, my dear Chu, this is the fourth-level sacred weapon Dragon Power King Sword, which represents the authority of this emperor. When you draw the sword, it means I am here. I will kill the royal family and corrupt officials. When you handle cases with this sword, you can kill first and report later. No one dares to stop you!"

Chu Yan caught this extraordinary sword that was so gorgeous that it looked like a work of art. After a moment of hesitation, the smile on his mouth could not be suppressed:

Hahahaha! Isn't this the Shangfang Sword?

Brother, I am completely awesome!

Kill first and report later, the special need of the emperor's power!

I wonder who will dare to challenge me in the future!

Hehehehe!

Princess Jingyang, who was standing aside, looked at his face full of evil smiles, shining eyes, and his appearance of not letting go. She couldn't help but cover her forehead, thinking that the imperial capital was about to usher in a devil.

She couldn't help but mourn for the civil and military officials.

The next moment, the empress spoke again, this time to her:

"Hanyue, you did a great job this time. In the future, continue to assist Lord Chu and help him catch more demons and spies to protect the safety of the imperial capital."

Princess Jingyang was embarrassed, but she could only respectfully accept the order:

"Your son obeys my order!"
