Chapter 5996 Flying Sword Devil Sect Son, Luo Qiu!
, the fastest update to The Shocking Sword Emperor!
Returning to the Tianshui Sect palace, there were still not many Tianshui Sect disciples inside.
Ancestor Pan Qing and the elders, as well as Bai Yifei, Qiao Mo and others are still outside looking for clues to the treasure key.
Lin Bai did not notify them first, but returned directly to his house.
The crow stood on the branch of the laurel tree, looking at Lin Bai with a pair of eyes, "How is it? Have you reached an agreement with the royal family?"
"It's almost settled. The royal family wants 30%." Lin Bai replied truthfully.
"Thirty percent, isn't that more than what I want? I don't accept it, why should the royal family want 30%, and I want 30% too." The crow jumped onto Lin Bai's shoulder and started shouting noisily.
Lin Bai was very worried, "Don't cause trouble. If we don't give 30% to the royal family, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave the imperial capital."
The royal family already knew about the treasure key, and when Lin Bai took the key from Mingyuefang, the Zhaoxing Division also arrived in time... In this way, it was impossible to hide it.
Sooner or later, the royal family will find out about Lin Bai. If Lin Bai is not willing to cooperate with the royal family, I am afraid that Lin Bai will not be able to leave the imperial capital.
"Show me that sword."
Lin Bai said to the crow.
Crow curled his lips, although he was still a little unhappy, but still took out the sword and handed it to Lin Bai.
Lin Baizi looked at the sword carefully... This sword is not very long, it is considered a short sword type.
The whole body is engraved with complicated and old-fashioned patterns, and it is filled with the atmosphere of vicissitudes of time.
Lin Bai turned the sword over and over several times, looking for the "numeric marking" that Emperor Chu said.
Finally, Lin Bai found the word "" written in ancient seal script on the sword grid.
"..." Lin Bai murmured, "Is this the number corresponding to the map?"
"The treasure key is numbered '', so there should also be a map with the number ''."
"If you find this map and take this key, you can open the treasure No. 1 left behind by the Nine Nether Demon Palace?"
Lin Bai checked it carefully several times. Except for the word "" written in ancient seal script, there were no words left on the sword.
"Let's call him...'Hao Jian' for now." Lin Bai smiled.
It is unknown what material the Nine Nether Demon Palace is made of, and it is extremely difficult to destroy.
But at the same time, it does not have very strong power, and it can barely be regarded as a top-quality Taoist weapon.
"Leave this sword to me for safekeeping first. If you find the map, we will go hunting for treasure together." Lin Bai said to Crow.
"No problem." Crow agreed without thinking, "Do you have any information about the map?"
Lin Bai shook his head blankly... At this time, a brand new problem appeared. He had the key but the door was not found. This was very embarrassing.
You need to find the corresponding "map" to open treasure No. 1, one of the nine treasures left in the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
"Although I don't have any clues about the map...but I think they should have it." Lin Bai grinned.
"Who?" Crow asked hurriedly.
"Who else could it be? Jiuyou Demon Palace." Lin Bai smiled.
Lin Bai knew very little about the treasures of the Nine Nether Demon Palace. If the twenty-first prince had not been kidnapped by the Nine Nether Demon Palace this time, Lin Bai would not even know that the Nine Nether Demon Palace had left nine treasures.
Previous rumors of treasures left behind in the Nine Nether Demon Palace have always been blocked by the top sects in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm.
Even if there are rumors spread to the outside world, outsiders will think they are market rumors and cannot believe them.
Now this is the first time Lin Bai has come into contact with the treasures of Jiuyou Demon Palace.
Lin Bai put the sword in his storage bag, "First tell His Highness Prince Chen about the sword and let the royal family try to find the map of the sword."
"At the same time... I also have to find a way to find out some information from the Nine Nether Demon Palace to see if the Nine Nether Demon Palace knows any clues about the map."
"But... even if Jiuyou Demon Palace knows the clues about the map, he will definitely not tell me easily..."
"So we still have to think of a way to make Jiuyou Demon Palace take the initiative to speak out."
After Lin Bai thought about it for a while, he went straight to Prince Chen's Mansion and informed His Highness Prince Chen of the news of the agreement with Emperor Chu.
When His Highness King Chen heard that Lin Bai had reached an agreement with Emperor Chu, he was obviously relieved and had a smile on his face.
Lin Bai also informed His Highness King Chen about the sword and the map.
His Highness King Chen promised to help find the map and would notify Lin Bai immediately once there was any news.
After coming out of Prince Chen's Mansion and returning to the Tianshui Sect Palace, it happened that Patriarch Pan Qing and others had also returned.
Lin Bai called everyone from the Tianshui Sect to the meeting hall, "The Holy Son suddenly called us over, but do you have any important instructions?"
Ancestor Pan Qing, several elders, Bai Yifei, Zhou Xinjun, Qiao Mo, Qin Yao and others all looked at Lin Bai.
"You don't have to work so hard to find that sword." Lin Bai said to everyone.
"Why is this?" Everyone was confused. Is Lin Bai going to give up looking for the sword?
"I have already obtained the sword." Lin Bai said with a smile.
What!... Everyone present took a breath and looked at Lin Bai with wide eyes.
They searched hard in the imperial capital for many days, but there was no news about the treasure key.
But Lin Bai was so impeccable that he actually said he had found the treasure key?
"Senior Brother Shengzi, is this true?" Bai Yifei couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it's true." Lin Baiyan replied firmly.
Bai Yifei, Zhou Xinjun, Qiao Mo, Qin Yao and others couldn't help but show joy on their faces.
Even the ancestor Pan Qing looked a little moved, with excitement hidden in his eyes.
Lin Bai said: "Don't be too happy, I'm going to tell you some bad news."
What news?... Everyone is at a loss. Getting the key to the treasure is a happy thing. Why is there still bad news?
Lin Bai said to his ancestor Pan Qing: "Although I have the key to the treasure, the royal family already knows about it."
"Already the royal family knows about it?" Ancestor Pan Qing and everyone in the Tianshui Sect suddenly stiffened their expressions.
It would undoubtedly be best if Lin Bai got the key to the treasure quietly.
But now that the royal family knows it, it is obvious that the royal family will not just watch Tianshui Sect find the treasure of Jiuyou Demon Palace and take this opportunity to grow and become a powerful force capable of carving up the Chu Kingdom's territory.
After all...a hundred thousand years ago, the Tianshui Sect was suppressed by the Chu State because it was too powerful and wanted to divide the world with the Chu State.
This suppression lasted for a hundred thousand years.
"So I felt that the Tianshui Sect could not afford the treasures of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, so I decided to cooperate with the royal family..." Lin Bai said about the cooperation with the royal family.
When they heard that they wanted to cooperate with the royal family, everyone in the Tianshui Sect was still very unhappy on the surface. After all, no one would be willing to give such a big piece of cake to the Chu royal family.
But everyone in the Tianshui Sect also knew very well... Lin Bai's move was a helpless move. If he didn't do this, the Tianshui Sect would not only receive no benefits, but would even run the risk of annihilating the sect.
