After His Highness King Chen was attacked in Qingshui Bay, the island was destroyed. At his own request, His Highness King Chen came to Zizhu Island and lived with Emperor Wuyan and the old monk of the Ku Chan Sect.
Fortunately, the old monk and Emperor Wuyan were both monks and did not care about secular etiquette, so they allowed His Highness King Chen to live in the house.
In a purple bamboo forest on the island.
Emperor Wuyan sat cross-legged on the ground, twirling Buddhist beads in his hands, eyes slightly closed, and silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.
His Highness Prince Chen was sitting on the stone table nearby, holding a glass of wine, looking at Di Wuyan with a smile, and chatting to Di Wuyan wordlessly: "I said... can't you just ignore me?"
"I've said so much and you don't say a word to me?"
"Fortunately, I have known you before, otherwise, I would have thought you were mute."
His Royal Highness Prince Chen was smiling. Emperor Wuyan closed his eyes to rest and paid no attention to His Highness Prince Chen.
His Highness King Chen took a sip of wine and continued to say to Emperor Wuyan: "I feel that the Chu State is going to be in chaos, either before or after my father's ten thousandth birthday. There will be great chaos in the Chu State."
.”
"The King of Liang is proud of his troops, the court is full of smoke, the third prince is extremely vicious, and now even the Nine Nether Demon Palace dares to show up in the Chu Kingdom in broad daylight."
"All of this is enough to show that... the Chu Kingdom is about to be in chaos."
Having said this, His Highness King Chen felt a little sad and said: "But I have thought about it for a long time, but I still haven't figured out where this chaos will start and where it will end."
"Chu is like a very deep pool. If you sit by the pool and fish, even if a fish bites the hook, as long as you don't drag the fish out of the water, you will never know what kind of fish you are catching.
A small fish, or a crocodile.”
"If you catch a small fish, that's the best. You can have a big meal."
"But if we catch a crocodile, I'm afraid...it will be like us back then!"
Ding!
When His Highness Prince Chen mentioned us back then, Di Wuyan's eyelashes trembled in his slightly closed eyes.
At this time.
His Highness Prince Chen heard footsteps coming from the purple bamboo forest. He smiled slightly and said to Di Wuyan: "Xiaojiu is here."
Immediately, His Highness Prince Chen turned around and saw a young girl walking over on a winding path in the purple bamboo forest.
"How come I haven't been to this island before?"
"Such a good place and such good soil are actually used to grow purple bamboo. If it is used to grow flowers, it will definitely be better."
The girl walked up to His Highness Prince Chen, frowned and looked around with resentment.
"Xiaojiu, long time no see." His Highness Prince Chen shouted with a smile.
"Bah! You are Xiaojiu, and your whole family is Xiaojiu." The girl spat: "I am now the sect leader of Tianshui Sect, and one of the sect leaders of the five families and seven sects. Don't think that you are the leader of the current dynasty.
Prince, you can yell at me and show some respect to me."
This girl is clearly Chu Xi.
His Highness King Chen seemed to be a little drunk, he lay on the table and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I really didn't expect that the little slug that used to be the only one who followed me crying and asking for sweets actually became the Chu State."
The five sect leaders of the seven sects that dominate the territory!"
"Time flies so fast, and the sea changes."
"Thousands of years, too much time, too many changes."
There was a hint of sadness in His Highness King Chen's eyes.
Emperor Wuyan still closed his eyes and recited the scriptures.
A trace of sadness also appeared on Chu Xi's face.
Not long after, Chu Xi came back to his senses and said to His Highness King Chen: "We captured three remnants of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, two of them are in the Taiyi Daoguo realm, and should be the 27 White Bone Sects of the Chu Kingdom.
The other elder is a woman. Lin Bai said that this person is one of the 108 young master-level warriors in the Nine Nether Demon Palace. She is called the 'Blood Spirit Young Master' in the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"These three people are definitely not ordinary people in the Nine Nether Demon Palace. It is another great achievement for you to bring them back to the Chu Kingdom."
"These three people are currently under the control of Tianshui Sect. When you leave, continue to take them away together."
After saying that, Chu Xi glanced at Di Wuyan again, turned around and left without saying anything.
His Highness King Chen looked at Chu Xi's retreating figure, a wry smile appeared on his lips, but did not stop him.
"I have to leave, probably tomorrow." His Highness King Chen said to Di Wuyan.
Di Wuyan still didn't care.
His Highness King Chen asked: "Are you coming to see me off? Just like when I went to the fiefdom?"
Di Wuyan said nothing.
His Highness Prince Chen nodded and sat alone next to Di Wuyan, drinking wine.
His eyes were full of sadness and loneliness.
…
Tianshui Sect, Mingyue Island.
After many days of training, the sect sent many healing pills to help Lin Bai's injuries heal quickly.
On this day, Chen Yule, Huang Qingyun, Shui Modan and Yi Song came to visit.
"You are here to say goodbye?"
Lin Bai looked at the four people with a smile, and probably guessed their purpose.
Originally, half a month ago, they should have left Tianshui Sect and returned to their respective sects and families.
But because of the matter of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, it had to be postponed.
Now that the remnants of the Nine Nether Demon Palace have been captured and the rest are dead, they will naturally leave the sect.
Chen Yule nodded and said, "The elder said we will leave tomorrow."
Yi Song said: "That's almost it. The sect has sent us messages over and over again. If we don't go back, I'm afraid Tianxian Sect will have to send strong men to Tianshui Sect to ask for people."
Huang Qingyun covered her mouth and smiled, holding a spiritual fruit in Shui Modan's hand and eating it happily.
Yi Song said: "We are here today, firstly to say goodbye, and secondly to remind you."
Lin Bai asked in confusion: "Remind me of what?"
Yi Song said: "The Heaven and Earth Sect will challenge the Tianshui Sect and compete in martial arts in three months. Calculating the time now, there are still more than two months left. Soon, you will go to the Heaven and Earth Sect."
"Let us remind you that during this trip you will... narrowly escape death."
Chen Yule said bluntly: "If I can't go, I won't go."
Lin Bai smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you think it's a narrow escape? I've already agreed, and I won't go if I don't want to go. If it spreads, won't it make the world laugh?"
Chen Yule said: "What's wrong with a few jokes? It's better than losing your life, right?"
Lin Bai frowned and said, "You guys look down on me so much? Do you think I will definitely die at the Gate of Heaven and Earth?"
Yi Song chuckled and said: "Brother Lin, among warriors of the same level, there is no one in the entire Chu Kingdom who can defeat you."
"But you must also understand that Tiandimen is hosting the Hongmen Banquet."
"As long as you go, no matter what the outcome of the martial arts competition is, they will not let you leave the Gate of Heaven and Earth."
"They will find many excuses to kill you."
"Didn't Li Lingtian lose his life like this in the Gate of Heaven and Earth back then?"
Yi Song mentioned Li Lingtian, making Lin Bai take a deep breath and frown slightly.
