After the handover with Prince Yu was completed, Lin Bai and His Royal Highness Prince Chen turned around and left the Supervisory Department.
"Master Langhou, although you are the Langhou of Chu State, you are also the sword-bearer of the Zhaoxing Division." On the way back, Zhu Mo said to Lin Bai: "Since you are the sword-bearer of the Zhaoxing Division, Lord Langhou from
I have visited Purgatory in the future, will Lord Wolf need to visit the ninth floor of Purgatory this time?"
Lin Bai held the title of "Wolf Marquis" in Chu State, but this was only a false position without any authority.
But Lin Bai's other identity is "the sword bearer of the Zhaoxing Division". This is not a false position, but a real authority.
Inspecting Purgatory is also within the scope of responsibilities of the commander of the Zhaoxing Division.
Lin Bai knew that Zhu Mo had good intentions and wanted him to get familiar with Purgatory.
Lin Bai was also particularly interested in purgatory. Just when he was about to answer, he suddenly covered his mouth and coughed, and spread his palms, which were covered with blood.
When His Highness Prince Chen took a look, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly supported Lin Bai, "Brother Lin, are you okay?"
Lin Bai waved his hand, "It's okay."
Prince Chen's expression darkened and he glared at Zhu Mo, "Zhu Mo, Brother Lin is seriously injured at this moment. He should go back and have a good rest."
"Inspecting Purgatory, there will be plenty of opportunities after Brother Lin's injury improves."
"Send Mr. Langhou back to rest."
"In addition, ask people to go to the treasury of Prince Chen's Mansion to fetch the best healing elixirs and deliver them to the Tianshui Sect's palace."
When Zhu Mo heard this, he quickly shut up and said nothing.
After everyone left Purgatory, Zhu Mo ordered the Blood Dragon Legion warriors to send Lin Bai back to the Tianshui Sect palace for repairs.
Tianshui Sect Palace.
Chu Xi and Zhang Bailiu ancestors had already returned and were waiting in the palace for the return of Lin Bai and the Tianshui Sect disciples who participated in this operation.
After receiving Lin Bai's order, the disciples of the Tianshui Sect evacuated one after another and quietly returned to the Tianshui Sect's palace from all directions.
"are you back?"
"Are you all back?"
Zhang Bailiu and ancestor Pan Qing both eagerly asked the returning Tianshui Sect disciples.
The disciples of the Tianshui Sect also contributed a lot this time, dispatching more than 40 Taiyi Daoguo realm warriors and a Daluo Daoguo realm warrior.
Ancestor Pan Qing fought against the strong men of the Worm Valley in Southern Xinjiang, and was also injured. He was sitting on a chair with a pale face at the moment, but he was still asking how many people had returned.
After all... these disciples are the mainstays of Tianshui Sect who have been carefully cultivated for many years. Losing one of them will be a great trauma to Tianshui Sect.
"Everyone who can come back should have come back." Bai Yifei looked pale and said to his ancestors Pan Qing and Zhang Bailiu.
Zhang Bailiu said coldly: "Count the number of people immediately."
"Look around you. Are there any acquaintances who haven't come back yet? If they haven't come back, have you seen them...dying on the battlefield?"
Zhang Bailiu couldn't bear to ask a group of seriously injured warriors in the courtyard.
"Zhang Jinling didn't come back."
"She died, I saw it with my own eyes..."
"..."
"Lin Qianyu didn't come back either."
"He also died. He died at the hands of a poison expert. I saw with my own eyes that he inhaled a puff of dark green smoke and then bleed from all his orifices. Even his soul could not escape."
"..."
Many Tianshui Sect disciples looked around, looking for warriors they knew.
If you ask about people who have not returned yet, if someone sees them, they will immediately inform you of their whereabouts.
After some precise calculations, Tianshui Sect dispatched a total of forty-seven Taiyi Daoguo realm warriors this time, twenty-one returned, and twenty-six died in battle!
"Ancestor, twenty-six people died in battle!"
Bai Yifei informed his ancestor Zhang Bailiu of the statistics.
Zhang Bailiu also witnessed them counting each other with his own eyes. When he heard this number, he felt dazed and his face turned pale rapidly.
Tianshui Sect has been in decline for many years, and has long since failed to live up to its prosperity.
Compared to the Tiandi Sect, Wentian Sect, Tianxian Sect and other sects, which lost more than twenty Taiyi Daoguo realm warriors, for them, the trauma was not serious.
However, there are only a few Taiyi Daoguo realm warriors left in the Tianshui Sect, with only more than a hundred people. At this moment, more than twenty people have been lost, and the sect's underlying power has directly weakened by one-fifth.
This price made Zhang Bailiu extremely heartbroken.
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Bailiu closed his eyes sadly, looked up to the sky and took a long breath, "Everyone, please go down and rest and heal your injuries."
Although Zhang Bailiu was heartbroken, he knew that this was the price that had to be paid.
No victory comes without a price.
Qiao Mo's face turned pale, "Ancestor, where is Senior Brother Shengzi?"
After hearing Qiao Mo's question, everyone realized that there was no trace of Lin Bai in the palace.
Bai Yifei, Zhou Xinjun, Yi Zien and others all raised their heads, waiting for Zhang Bailiu's answer.
Zhang Bailiu said calmly: "You don't have to worry, news has come from the Zhaoxing Division that the Holy Son took Xia Jingzhi to purgatory."
“Will be back soon.”
At this time.
Several warriors from the Blood Dragon Legion helped Lin Bai into the Tianshui Sect's palace. The disciples of the Tianshui Sect hurriedly stepped forward to catch Lin Bai and helped him sit down in the meeting hall.
"Holy Son, are you okay?" Zhang Bailiu asked with a frown.
Lin Bai shook his head, his face was pale and bloodless, and he glanced at the more than 20 seriously injured warriors standing in the courtyard, "Is this the only number of people who have returned?"
Zhang Bailiu informed Lin Bai of the battle situation, "Yes, the Tianshui Sect suffered heavy casualties this time. A total of forty-seven people went into battle, and only twenty-one came back."
"Everyone who came back was seriously injured and their lives were hanging by a thread."
After hearing this number, Lin Bai finally understood why Zhang Bailiu looked so ugly.
Lin Bai also felt pain in his heart, "I am sorry for them."
Zhang Bailiu shook his head and said: "The Holy Son does not need to blame himself or feel guilty. He just hopes that their death will be worthy of their death and not in vain."
Lin Bai understood the meaning of Zhang Bailiu's words. What he meant was... Tianshui Sect paid such a high price, and His Highness King Chen should give corresponding reward.
Lin Bai said to Zhang Bailiu: "If this is done, Tianshui Sect will naturally get a lot of benefits."
Zhang Bailiu asked: "Is the Holy Son confident that he can hit the target with one hit? Will he move to the Third Prince?"
"Haha." Lin Bai smiled softly and said to Zhang Bailiu: "It doesn't matter whether we move to the third prince or not now."
Zhang Bailiu frowned deeply, "What does the Holy Son mean by this? Isn't it that we paid such a high price to move to the Third Prince to support His Highness Prince Chen on the throne?"
Lin Bai shook his head, "No, no, no, Tianshui Sect just wants to make a comeback, not to support His Highness King Chen to ascend the throne."
"Ancestor, am I right?"
Zhang Bailiu heard Lin Bai's words, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Yes, Tianshui Sect really wants to make a comeback. As for who should be the Emperor of Chu, we don't have much of an opinion."
"Whoever can help Tianshui Sect make a comeback will have no problem becoming the Emperor of Chu."
Zhang Bailiu replied simply and simply.
Lin Bai took a deep breath, "Then the Tianshui Sect's goal... has been achieved."
