"Why don't Lord Wolf believe it? I don't have any troops ambushing you outside."
Daozi Yao Qian hurriedly explained again, but Lin Bai raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Whether there are ambushes or masters is your business and has nothing to do with me."
Lin Bai said calmly: "If Jiuyou Demon Palace wants to get back the treasure key, you, a mere Taoist, may not be qualified to negotiate terms with me."
"Go back and tell you who is really in charge of the Nine Nether Demon Palace in the imperial capital, and ask him to prepare the bargaining chips and then come to me to negotiate terms."
"Farewell."
After Lin Bai finished speaking, he walked straight out of the Longyan Inn.
The waiter narrowed his eyes and took a step forward to stop Lin Bai, but was stopped by Taoist Yao Qian.
Daozi Yao Qian just looked at Lin Bai, walked out of Longyan Inn, and left this neighborhood.
Just after Lin Bai left, more than twenty strong men suddenly appeared in the old Longyan Inn and gathered around Daozi Yao Qian.
"Daozi, just let him go like this?"
"The key to the treasure is in his hands, why not just kill him and get the key back?"
Among these more than twenty powerful men, those with the lowest cultivation levels all have the middle-grade Taiyi Daoguo realm.
And there are even two warriors from the Daluo Daoguo realm inside.
Daozi Yao Qian kept saying that there was no ambush in the Longyan Inn, but now it seems... this guy didn't tell the truth.
Daozi Yao Qian heard the questioning voices around him and shook his head silently, "Lin Bai is right. He dared to come here because he was sure that we did not dare to kill him."
"If he dies, it will definitely cause an uproar in the imperial capital, which will be extremely detrimental to our Jiuyou Demon Palace."
"Besides... even if we kill Lin Bai and take away the key to the treasure."
"But once Lin Bai died, the city was in turmoil, and we couldn't take the treasure key out of the imperial capital!"
Daozi Yao Qian took a deep breath and said, "Today I came to demonstrate to Lin Bai. If Lin Bai was an ordinary character, he would have been scared to death and handed over the key obediently."
"I didn't expect... Lin Bai does have some courage and is not such an easy character to fool."
"This matter needs long-term consideration!"
Daozi Yao Qian rubbed his brows helplessly and sighed repeatedly, "Everyone, please leave now. If necessary, I will summon you."
"I'll take my leave." These powerful men from the Nine Nether Demon Palace are hidden throughout the imperial capital, and will only come to meet them when summoned.
Since Daozi Yao Qian decided not to take action against Lin Bai today, it would be useless for them to stay here.
After drinking everyone away, Daozi Yao Qian and the waiter walked out of Longyan Inn at the same time and walked towards the prosperous area of the imperial capital.
Along the way, both of them were careful and made several detours on purpose.
And as they passed through several dark alleys, they instantly disguised themselves, changed their bodies, appearance, and voices, and blended into the market again.
After going back and forth several times, it was already dusk before they knew it, and they arrived outside a luxurious house in the imperial capital.
They did not report it... but directly opened the magic circle, climbed over the wall, and entered the courtyard.
After the two figures climbed over the wall, they didn't notice... in the darkness of the alleyway in the distance, a pair of eyes were watching their actions.
"I really didn't expect these two boys to be so alert." A strange laughing voice came, "Hey, Lin Bai, it's a good thing you called me, otherwise, you will definitely be thrown away by them."
The figure in the darkness was clearly Lin Bai who left the Longyan Inn.
After Lin Bai left the Longyan Inn, he went directly back to the Tianshui Sect Palace. At the same time, he summoned the crow and asked him to quietly follow Daozi Yao Qian.
Lin Bai knew that after he left the Longyan Inn, Taoist disciple Yao Qian would definitely send warriors to watch his every move, so he returned to the Tianshui Sect palace and let the crows watch Yao Qian.
After Lin Bai disguised himself in the Tianshui Sect's palace, he quietly left the palace and came to fight with Crow.
One person and one bird followed Daozi Yao Qian secretly, watching him walk through the streets and alleys, watching him change his body and appearance, and watching him be as cunning as a fox.
Just as the crow said...if it weren't for the crow at his side, Lin Bai would have almost lost his Taoist son Yao Qian several times.
"It seems that this is one of their bases in the imperial capital."
Lin Bai raised his head and saw a high-walled courtyard in front of him. The courtyard was deep and luxurious.
"I really didn't expect that the Jiuyou Demon Palace's stronghold in the imperial capital would be so eye-catching." Lin Bai squinted his eyes. He originally thought that the Jiuyou Demon Palace's stronghold in the imperial capital would be a slum similar to the Longyan Inn.
.
Only then did he agree with the shady identity of Jiuyou Demon Palace.
But I didn't expect that... the real stronghold of the Nine Nether Demon Palace would be such a magnificent and luxurious house.
This house, in the imperial capital, is at least a place where only the royal family and nobles are qualified to live, right?
Lin Bai walked around the house, came to the main entrance, and looked up.
The plaque on the door reads: Huaxianyuan.
"It looks like it is the private residence of a certain dignitary in the imperial capital..." Lin Bai murmured in his heart.
In the imperial capital, many high-ranking officials and nobles purchased private residences that were unknown to the public.
These private houses have many uses, such as for vacations, growing flowers, raising women, etc.
In the imperial capital, whenever you see an extremely luxurious and magnificent house, it does not indicate whose government office it belongs to. Instead, the name of the house is "courtyard", "garden", "other courtyard", "small building", etc.
Eighty percent of them were private residences of dignitaries in the imperial capital.
Even if Zhao Xingsi saw this kind of house, he would not dare to enter and search it easily unless he had the Jade Order of Emperor Chu in his hand.
"This villa looks very grand. I wonder if there are any treasures in it." Crow's eyes looked at the house and shone slightly.
"Go in and take a look, will you know soon?" Lin Bai smiled, jumped up, and landed on the high wall, where he was immediately blocked by the magic circle.
But Lin Bai had already planned to use the Heaven-Swallowing Dao Technique to break through the restriction. Then he cut a gap in the magic circle and used the "Void Divine Escape Technique" to plunder the inside of the house.
Although the house is brightly lit, there are not many servants and maids.
In the huge house, the silence is eerie.
Although there are no servants or maids, the magic circle is running extremely well. You can encounter a magic circle almost every few steps.
Fortunately, the thing that Lin Bai was not afraid of the most was the magic circle.
The courtyard here is called "Flower Fairy Garden". There is no doubt that the most abundant flowers in the courtyard are all kinds of rare and colorful flowers.
Especially the back garden of the house is a mountain of flowers, which is imprisoned by a magic circle, making the flower mountain look like spring all year round, and it is in full bloom at this moment.
On the flower mountain, a vague female voice was pruning branches in the sea of flowers.
Daozi Yao Qian and the waiter walked outside the sea of flowers, bowed their hands and said, "I have seen the goddess."
The woman asked: "How?"
Taoist disciple Yao Qian looked ugly, "As the goddess said, Lin Bai is not easy to deal with."
The woman smiled, "If he were easy to deal with, he wouldn't be Lin Bai, let alone the Wolf Marquis of Chu!"
The woman replied while pruning the flowers and plants, but just after she finished speaking, she suddenly straightened up and asked, "Did anyone notice you when you came?"
Daozi Yao Qian shook his head and said: "No, we have extra information. We disguised ourselves several times and sneaked into the market. Even the Zhaoxing Division couldn't find us."
The woman snorted coldly, "Idiot, everyone has followed you to find Huaxianyuan, and you actually said that they can't find you!"
What!... Daozi Yao Qian and the waiter were shocked.
