These are Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia, who are the eternal elders. Not only do they hold high-level positions in the Demon Palace, but the families behind them also have an extraordinary status in the Demon Palace.
It is no exaggeration to say... they are actually one of the leaders of the Demon Palace.
But even so, when they met Lin Bai, whose cultivation level was lower than theirs, they were still shocked by the "emperor's son" aura on him.
This does not come from fear of strength, but from fear of the "Holy King" a hundred thousand years ago.
To put it simply...Lin Bai was influenced by the Holy Lord from a hundred thousand years ago. The Holy Lord left too many legends as the "Emperor's Son", which made all the warriors in the Nine Nether Demon Palace have no idea about the "Emperor's Son".
The identity has generated strong awe and worship.
Even the eternal elder is like this.
After all, before Yao Daogu, Zhao Fengxia and others became the Eternal Elders, they were all talented warriors of the Nine Nether Demon Palace. Influenced by the culture of the Demon Palace, their awe for the "Sage of the Holy Lord and Emperor" has already been engraved in their bones.
Lin Bai sat on the edge of the suspended island, looking at the busy figures of warriors in the Demon Palace headquarters below.
No words, no movements, no reactions, just like an ancient god, looking at his territory and his people indifferently.
Only the fact that he was high up in the sky and the oncoming hunting wind stirred Lin Bai's hair and clothes showed that he was not a statue, but a living person.
After waiting for about half an hour, Taoist disciple Yu Youcai and goddess Li Guxian came quickly and boarded the palace.
Li Guxian walked quickly and noticed that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, so she first looked at Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia in the pavilion.
These two people obviously also looked at Li Guxian.
"What's going on?"
Li Guxian deliberately slowed down and took the time to send a message to the two elders Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia.
"Did you say anything?"
She felt that Lin Bai's mood was a little abnormal, like the dead calm before the storm.
"No."
"We have nothing."
Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia also hurriedly sent messages to reply, briefly telling Li Guxian everything that happened after they arrived at the imperial palace.
After Li Guxian knew what happened, she already had a plan in mind and slowly approached.
He stopped ten steps away from Lin Bai, cupped his hands and saluted:
"I've met the emperor."
After hearing Li Guxian's voice, Lin Bai, who had been silent, finally reacted again.
He silently stood up from the edge, glanced at Li Guxian first, and then walked back to the flower sea pavilion.
"Since Goddess Li Guxian is here, let's talk about it."
"What's going on in the Southern Territory?"
Lin Bai was sitting in the pavilion. Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia quickly stood up and did not dare to sit at the same table as Lin Bai.
Yao Daogu, Zhao Fengxia, and Li Guxian stood side by side in front of Lin Bai.
They stood and Lin Bai sat.
It's like waiting for your subordinates to report their work.
Mr. Wen and Daozi Yuyou stood outside the pavilion, silently paying attention to what was going on inside the pavilion.
There was no hint of joy, anger or cunning on Li Guxian's pretty face, and she replied with a bright smile:
"Emperor, how could I know about the affairs of the Southern Territory?"
She defended herself first, and then added: "The Demon Palace did receive a request for help from the Qitian Sect, and also knew that the Southern Region had broken through the Qitian Sect's defense line and had invaded the Eastern Region."
"But this is just the news we have received."
After listening to Li Guxian's explanation, Lin Baixuan turned his eyes to Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia.
The two elders followed Lin Bai's gaze and quickly replied:
"Yes."
"As Goddess Li Guxian said, we just received the news that the Southern Territory has invaded the Eastern Territory."
Zhao Fengxia smoothed Wu Liu's long beard and sighed softly: "Logically speaking, although our Jiuyou Demon Palace and Qitian Sect had some grudges in the past, now we are facing the invasion of foreign enemies, and we should provide help."
"But at present, our Demon Palace must focus on regaining the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, so we are unable to provide support at all."
Lin Bai stared at Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia and said, "Is this a resolution passed by the Council of Elders?"
"Don't support the Qitian Sect's territory?"
Yao Daogu nodded and said: "Yes, after receiving the news of Qitian Sect's request for help from the territory, under the auspices of Elder Luo Yuanjing, the Council of Elders passed a resolution."
Lin Bai nodded and did not continue to ask any more questions.
Instead, he looked at Li Guxian again, his face still maintaining a cold look:
"Isn't this really the trick of Goddess Li Guxian?"
Goddess Li Guxian seemed to be amused by Lin Bai, she covered her mouth and laughed:
"How can Senior Brother Di Zi know that he is using the methods of a little girl?"
Lin Bai sighed softly, then looked at the vast world outside the imperial palace, and whispered:
"The matters on the border between the Eastern Region and the Northern Region have just ended. The eyes of Wansheng Mountain, Chu Kingdom, and Qitian Sect will immediately fall on the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"We all know that given the current situation of the Demon Palace, facing the gaze of the three most prosperous sects is also a huge pressure."
"At this time, there are only two ways to solve the dilemma."
"First, either get rid of the three most prosperous sects. Obviously the Demon Palace cannot do that."
"Then there is only the second way, which is to divert the attention of the three most prosperous sects from the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"How do you distract yourself?"
Lin Bai stared at Li Guxian and did not continue talking.
In fact, when he heard that the Southern Territory was invading the Eastern Territory, Lin Bai already had many questions in his mind.
Why did the Southern Territory suddenly invade the Eastern Territory?
Why did it happen at this juncture? The Eastern Territory had just ended its war with the Northern Territory, and the Southern Territory immediately launched an attack.
This is not the right time.
This motive is also wrong.
If Lin Bai was a warrior from the Southern Territory and wanted to invade the Eastern Territory, the best time would be to suddenly launch a surprise attack when the Eastern Territory and the Northern Territory were confronting each other on the border, and when most of the warriors from the Eastern Territory were focusing on the border.
.
This is the best way.
Of course, it does not rule out that the Qitian Sect was on guard at that time, and the Southern Territory believed that the probability of a successful sneak attack was low.
There was a second doubt that troubled Lin Bai.
That's why after Li Guxian left the border of the Eastern Territory, the Southern Territory suddenly invaded the Eastern Territory.
Within a few days after Li Guxian left Yongye Pass, Nanyu took action, which had to make Lin Bai suspicious.
Did Li Guxian do something to cause the Southern Territory to suddenly attack when she left Yongye Pass?
Li Guxian smiled bitterly and said: "Senior brother Dizi really misunderstood. My daughter did not push for the Southern Territory to invade the Eastern Territory."
"This is entirely the result of a sudden attack in the Southern Region."
Lin Bai chuckled and did not press hard, but asked: "In that case, with the eyes and knowledge of Goddess Li Guxian, what do you think is the purpose of the Southern Territory's invasion of the Eastern Territory?"
"The Southern Territory is different from the Northern Territory."
"The Northern Territory is affected by the geographical environment, so they have to try to invade the Eastern Territory to obtain a better living environment and resources for the Northern Territory warriors."
"The Southern Territory does not seem to be as urgent as the Northern Territory. The resources and living environment in the Southern Territory are pretty good. They have no reason to invade the Eastern Territory."
After hearing Lin Bai's question, Li Guxian thought for a moment, then pursed her red lips and smiled:
“Senior Brother Dizi’s ideas are all from the perspective of a ‘warrior’.”
