Emperor Chu sat on the dragon chair and rubbed his brow, looking worried.
Except for Kuchan Temple, the five families and seven sects of the Chu State were indifferent to worldly affairs. The other five major families and the six major sects looked as docile as sheep in front of the Chu State, but in fact they were evil wolves under the sheep's skin.
When Lin Bai represented the Tianshui Sect, he went to the Heaven and Earth Gate to participate in a martial arts competition. The Tianshui Sect was worried that the Heaven and Earth Gate would take this opportunity to kill Lin Bai, so Lin Bai invited Xiao Cangsheng, who was known as the best master in the Chu Kingdom, to go with him.
The reason why Xiao Cangsheng agreed to the Tianshui Sect's request was partly because of the sect leader Chu Xi, and partly because of the Emperor Chu's permission to secretly investigate the secrets of the Heaven and Earth Sect.
Emperor Chu also discovered that the five families and seven sects of Chu State had hidden many secrets over the years.
But what can you do... When the five families and seven sects of the Chu State declared their allegiance to the Chu State, all the Chu emperors of the Chu State promised that as long as the five families and the seven sects did not have the intention to rebel, the Zhaoxing Division would never infiltrate the five families and the seven sects.
Therefore, Zhao Xingsi did not deliberately monitor and investigate the background of the five families and seven sects of Chu State.
When Tiandimen saw Xiao Cangsheng gone, the top management of Tiandimen chose to hide it.
So much so that Lin Bai made a big fuss within the Heaven and Earth Gate, killing so many talented people who had worked so hard to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Gate, but the Heaven and Earth Gate still failed to set an example.
It was just that after Lin Bai and Xiao Cangsheng left the Heaven and Earth Gate, the elders of the Heaven and Earth Gate went to hunt them down, but the core ancestors of the Heaven and Earth Gate never took action.
If things were going according to previous seasons, the people who followed Lin Bai to the Gate of Heaven and Earth were not Xiao Cangsheng, but other warriors.
I am afraid that Lin Bai and others will be killed by the ancestors of the Heaven and Earth Gate if they cannot get out of the Gate of Heaven and Earth.
It is precisely because Tiandimen endured humiliation and survived that Xiao Cangsheng did not find out much useful information.
This is just a problem with the Heaven and Earth Gate.
During the birthday of Emperor Chu, Zhao Xingsi found out that the Holy Lotus Palace was tracking down the treasures of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
He also intended to take away the key to the treasure from the royal family, which made Emperor Chu even more furious. If His Highness Prince Chen had not interceded with Lin Bai, he would have severely punished the Holy Lotus Palace.
Not only the Heaven and Earth Gate and the Holy Lotus Palace, the Tianxian Sect and the Chen family are also uneasy, but they hide it better.
"Then let's fulfill Lord Langhou's wish and knock on the gate of heaven and earth, and take this opportunity to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!"
"These are troubled times. Let the five families and seven sects of Chu State be in peace!"
Emperor Chu took a deep breath and slowly made a decision.
Even though most people in the think tank held objections, Emperor Chu made his mind up and decided to knock on the gate of heaven and earth.
But it is just beating and beating, and it does not lead to sending troops to encircle and suppress the gate of heaven and earth.
…
"Thank you, father-in-law, for sending me off. I have left the palace now. I have other things to do. I can go back by myself later."
As soon as he walked out of the palace, Lin Bai planned to say goodbye to your father-in-law.
Your father-in-law also knew that Lin Bai must have got some new tasks after meeting Emperor Chu, so he didn't want to embarrass Lin Bai, so he let him go.
After leaving the palace, Lin Bai walked in the bustling streets of the imperial capital, heading towards Prince Chen's Mansion.
He had just come out of seclusion today, so he went to see Emperor Chu without stopping, and now he naturally wanted to see His Highness King Chen.
After all, Emperor Chu had just ordered Lin Bai to assist His Royal Highness King Chen in entertaining the sect leaders who came to the imperial capital to question him.
The imperial capital is extremely large, and even with Lin Bai's pace, it would take some time to reach Prince Chen's Mansion.
But just as Lin Bai was walking through a street, a young monk was sitting on the side of the street, eating vegetarian food.
When Lin Bai passed by, he raised his head and looked at Lin Bai with a smile.
But still he said nothing.
Lin Bai was walking when he suddenly felt a gaze coming towards him.
In fact, with Lin Bai's current status, whenever he walks on the street, many warriors in the imperial capital can recognize his identity.
In the past, many people would spy on him secretly.
But this time, he felt different.
This gaze is gentle and pure, like a newborn baby that has not received any pollution from this world.
He couldn't help but stop and looked around to find the source of his gaze.
Not long after, he saw a monk sitting in a stall eating vegetarian food.
"Di Wuyan!"
Lin Bai was stunned for a moment.
The man sitting at the street food stall eating vegetarian food at this moment has a tall figure, a handsome face, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, bright eyes and white teeth. If he were not a monk, he would definitely be one of the most handsome men in the world.
Perhaps precisely because he is a monk, he naturally carries an otherworldly aura and the faint reverberation of Buddhist sandalwood.
This was not the first time that Lin Bai saw Di Wuyan.
Di Wuyan was once at the top of the list of Taoist gods in Chu State, and among the saint sons of the five families and seven sects of Chu State, he was always at the top.
When Lin Bai came to the imperial capital, he occasionally met Di Wuyan, but he was still an outsider and did not have much contact with Lin Bai.
Lin Bai and Di Wuyan's real acquaintance should have been at the ceremony where Lin Bai took over as the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect.
Ever since the Tianshui Sect fell into decline, it has been ten thousand years since they established a holy son.
In the end, as Lin Bai and the Tianshui Sect signed a deal, the Tianshui Sect once again established a Holy Son after thousands of years. The succession ceremony of the Holy Son was naturally extremely complicated.
The five families, seven sects and the royal family of Chu State all received invitations and sent warriors to attend.
Emperor Wuyan was the holy son of the Ku Chan Sect, one of the five and seven sects of the Chu Kingdom. He and several eminent monks of the Ku Chan Sect came to the Tianshui Sect to celebrate Lin Bai.
Lin Bai and Di Wuyan's eyes met. Di Wuyan smiled, put his hands together and saluted Lin Bai.
Then Emperor Wuyan slowly made a "please" gesture, indicating Lin Bai to sit down.
Lin Bai hesitated for a while, then smiled and sat on the stall.
Di Wuyan remained silent and smiled, borrowing the tea bowl on the stall to pour Lin Bai a cup of tea.
But he still didn't speak.
"Should I call you the Seventh Prince? Or should I call you Master Di Wuyan?"
After waiting for a long time, Di Wuyan didn't speak, so Lin Bai couldn't help but ask.
When Di Wuyan heard this, his eyes glazed over for a moment, and then the smile on his face changed from the happy smile when he saw Lin Bai to a bitter smile.
Although he didn't speak, Lin Bai had already guessed what he meant.
The seventh prince is dead, a thousand years ago.
The only person who is alive now is Emperor Wuyan, the Holy Son of Kuchan Sect.
Lin Bai understood in his mind and did not bother about this matter. He smiled again and asked: "Master Wuyan, I have a question. Although it is a bit offensive, please don't take it off."
Di Wuyan looked calm and turned to look at Lin Bai, gesturing for him to ask.
Lin Bai then asked: "Are you born unable to speak? Or are you practicing some kind of skill?"
