While chatting with Qin Yao, Qiao Mo, and Ye Guyu, Lin Bai gradually narrowed his eyes and outlined the situation in the entire Eastern Region of the Demon Realm in his mind.
The warriors of the Northern Territory are ready to take action, and the Seven Nights Sect, Qitian Sect, and Wansheng Mountain are also coming to get a share of the pie.
The huge Chu State is like a beacon standing in the darkness, attracting monsters and monsters to come closer.
So where do all these problems arise?... Lin Bai kept thinking in his mind.
Finally, he came to a conclusion... There is no prince in Chu!
Perhaps this is the most "foolish" thing about Emperor Chu of Chu State today, that is, in his later years, he has not yet determined the position of crown prince.
Lin Bai also re-realized the importance of the position of prince.
If the current state of Chu has already established a prince, and before the Emperor of Chu is about to abdicate, the obstacles for the prince have been cleared, and after the birthday of the prince, the prince will successfully ascend the throne.
The current situation would not have occurred at all.
The main reason for the current situation is the internal instability of the Chu royal family.
The main reason is...there is no prince!
The reason for all this is the "foolishness" of Emperor Chu.
Thousands of years ago, the eldest prince was killed. Although Emperor Chu was heartbroken, he sent Tianji Pavilion, the royal family, and the Zhaoxing Division to jointly investigate.
But in the end it came to nothing.
Lin Bai has never experienced those things, but he can see that the fall of a prince is not that simple!
Emperor Chu finally ended the investigation into the cause of death of the eldest prince with a silent attitude, which led to the subsequent irreversible tragedy.
Immediately after the death of the second prince, Emperor Chu still chose to remain silent, chose not to let it go, and chose to avoid it.
Later, the twelfth prince was framed and died unjustly in prison.
Perhaps it was because of the death of the twelfth prince that Emperor Chu suddenly woke up and could no longer sit idly by.
That's why he used the death of the twelfth prince to demote the people he valued out of the imperial capital and away from the quagmire of the imperial capital.
This demoted prince... is His Highness King Chen.
It seems that His Highness King Chen was demoted, but in fact it was Emperor Chu who protected him.
But what's the use?
It protected His Highness King Chen, but also made His Highness Chen lose the qualification to mediate in the imperial capital.
Even before his birthday, Emperor Chu recalled His Highness King Chen, but in the end... His Highness King Chen was no longer a match for the third prince.
Now... Emperor Chu has tacitly allowed me to investigate the death of the eldest prince and the second prince. Is this making up for the mistakes he has made?
Lin Bai took a deep breath, and many thoughts came to mind... and he truly saw through the disguise of Emperor Chu and the royal family.
Today's Emperor of Chu, do you think he is wise?
He was indeed wise. At least during the ten thousand years he was in power, although he did not expand the mountains and rivers or open up new territories, at least there was peace inside and outside the territory, and strong enemies outside the country had no intrusion.
Even the King of Liang, who respected himself as a soldier, did not dare to show his butcher knife easily.
Do you think he is stupid?
He was indeed stupid, so he shouldn't have let the death of the eldest prince go unchecked.
If at the moment the eldest prince died, Emperor Chu would have ordered a strict investigation to the end and would never give up.
Then maybe the tragedy that follows will not happen, the second prince will not die, the twelfth prince will not die, and His Highness Prince Chen will not be demoted.
What makes him even more stupid is... even though he knew that he was already in his old age, he still had not established a prince.
So much so that the third prince wielded the butcher's knife, causing a commotion in the imperial capital.
Five princes seized the throne, the imperial capital was in chaos, the court was unstable, the vassal king was self-reliant, and powerful enemies from outside the country were waiting for him.
Until now... less than a year before his birthday, the position of prince has not yet been established.
"Huh..." Lin Bai took a long breath and murmured in his heart: "The more I think about it, the more confused I become, and the more confused I become, the more annoyed I become..."
Lin Bai raised his forehead and shook his head, truly feeling what it means to move the whole body with a single move.
If this Chu Emperor's birthday is handled well, then the world will be at peace.
If it is not handled well... it is very likely that in the next thousand or even thousands of years, Chu will be shrouded in the flames of war.
"You are so wise, yet so foolish..." Lin Bai murmured in his heart, "I hope you can really have everything in your hands, just like I saw!"
Just at this time.
In the arena inside the competition venue, after several competitions, Ye Guyu and several acquaintances finally appeared on the stage.
"Look, it's Senior Brother Yi Zi'en." Ye Guyu jumped up from his chair excitedly.
Lin Bai also suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart, raised his head and looked at the ring.
Qiao Mo and Qin Yao also smiled and focused their gazes on the arena.
On the ring, the graceful Yi Zien was smiling. After landing on the ring, he raised his hands and saluted all around, "May I ask if any of my friends from the Nanshan clan in the Northern Territory have ever been here?"
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many warriors. When they looked at the ring, they exclaimed:
"It's Yi Zien!"
"A disciple of Tianshui Sect?"
"One of the seven sects of the Five Families of Chu State, a master disciple of the Tianshui Sect!"
"Hehe, I really came to the right place today, I didn't expect to see the geniuses from five families and seven sects take action!"
"It is said that the Tianshui Sect suffered at the hands of the Nanshan Clan in the Northern Territory a few days ago, and today it seems that they are here to take revenge!"
Seeing the fate of the disciples of the five families and seven sects of the Chu State, the warriors in each private room in the competition ground became energetic.
"Young man from Tianshui Sect, didn't you lose badly enough last time?"
"Are you still asking for trouble?"
"Hahaha."
In a certain private room in the competition venue, the sound of ridicule suddenly came from the venue, echoing throughout the venue.
Everyone looked around and saw dozens of beast-skin warriors walking out of a private room in the middle area of the competition tower, approximately on the 51st floor.
This was the first time Lin Bai saw a warrior from the Northern Territory, so he couldn't help but take a second look.
I saw this group of warriors with red and black skin, obviously suffering from frostbite all year round.
The skin is dry and cracked, but the muscles all over the body are bulging, full of primitive wild power.
They wore robes made of animal skins, revealing most of their strong muscle lines.
The hair is scattered and draped over the shoulders, forehead, wrists, and neck. There are decorations made of animal bones.
The warriors in the Northern Territory look like warriors from the prehistoric era, and there is a clear difference between the silk and satin worn by the warriors in the Eastern Territory.
When Yi Zien saw this group of people, he immediately laughed and said, "Last time I had a discussion with you brothers and it was quite beneficial, so I would like to have a discussion with you this time and ask for your advice."
Among the group of warriors wearing animal skins, a muscular and older man grinned, "Hey, we can spar. Have you prepared the immortal jade?"
"That's natural." Yi Zi'en smiled softly, "Still the old rules, one hundred immortal jade per game!"
"Okay!" The big man shouted overjoyed, "I'll meet you!"
While he was talking, the big man swept down from the 51st floor, fell from the sky, and landed on the ring.
Lin Bai, Qiao Mo, Ye Guyu, and Qin Yao all raised their spirits and looked at the arena attentively.
