Emperor Chu gave the solution, and the sect leaders present looked stagnant.
"There are only two ways now!"
"First, go to the Northern Territory for peace negotiations now, and wait for the lion of the Northern Territory to open his mouth and return your Holy Son."
"The second way is to fight the Northern Territory first, and after you have convinced them, slowly negotiate with them and ask them to release the Holy Son of your sect!"
"Everyone...you can think about this issue carefully."
Emperor Chu looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "It's still a long time tonight. You have plenty of time to think carefully."
Hear the words.
All the sect leaders lowered their heads and frowned in thought.
Lin Bai played with the wine glass on his fingers and was also thinking about Emperor Chu's words.
He believed that Emperor Chu was right. Now that he went to negotiate with the Northern Territory, the Northern Territory would definitely open its mouth. What they asked for were precious resources that the major sects were unwilling to give up.
Even if some sects and families are willing to give up some precious resources in exchange for the Holy Son.
But after getting the precious resources, will the Northern Territory release the Son?
This is also a big problem.
The method given by Emperor Chu was much simpler. As long as the Northern Territory was defeated, the Northern Territory could sit down and negotiate in peace.
At that time, the Eastern Territory only needs to pay a small price to exchange for all the Holy Sons.
"If it looks like this...the North Territory kidnapped the Holy Son, but it did the Chu State a big favor?"
Lin Bai frowned, with a wry smile on his lips.
If the Northern Territory did not abduct these saint sons, but directly invaded the Chu State and the Seven Nights Sect, maybe the Qitian Sect territory and the Wansheng Mountain territory would not have time to support the Chu State and the Seven Nights Divine Sect.
The Northern Territory can also have unexpected effects.
But now... the Holy Son has been kidnapped, and Emperor Chu's lobbying has actually connected the entire Eastern Region of the Demon Realm.
But the premise of all this is that Lin Bai has helped Chu State solve the hidden trouble.
Destroyed the plan of Jiuyou Demon Palace.
If they follow the plan of Jiuyou Demon Palace, they plan to publicly execute Meng Qixian, Nie Shang, Yi Heze, and Lu Qingjun after the sect leaders arrive in the imperial capital, and in turn threaten the Wansheng Mountain territory and the Qitian Sect territory with the Chu State.
break.
This resulted in the Chu State being isolated and helpless.
If their plan succeeds, even if Wansheng Mountain and Qitian Sect use their hegemony to threaten, they may not be able to make the top sects surrender. It will only arouse the anger of the top sects. In this way, there will be another conflict in the territory of Qitian Sect and Wansheng Mountain.
There will be chaos.
The entire Eastern Territory was in chaos, and an opportunity came for the Northern Territory and the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
If the plan of the Nine Nether Demon Palace is really followed, the Northern Territory and the Nine Nether Demon Palace will most likely divide the territory of the Eastern Territory.
But now... all of this has become a thing of the past.
Before the Jiuyou Demon Palace project even started, Lin Bai rescued Meng Qinxian, Nie Shang, Yi Heze, and Lu Qingjun, causing their plan to abort and the Chu State to regain the initiative.
"Is this why Chu State is so anxious to hold the Star Catching Platform Banquet?"
At this time, Lin Bai suddenly figured out that this might be the reason why Chu State was anxious to hold a banquet on the Star Reaching Platform.
I am just worried about the follow-up plans of Jiuyou Demon Palace.
The Chu State must tie these top sects and heyday sects to the warships of the Chu State and the Seven Nights Divine Sect before the Nine Nether Demon Palace strikes again.
The banquet at the Star Reaching Platform was held in a hurry, but it did not give the Nine Nether Demon Palace and the Northern Territory any chance to take advantage of it.
On the star-catching platform, the night breeze was slightly cold.
All the sect leaders looked extremely gloomy. They frowned in thought from time to time, and exchanged opinions with the sect elders from time to time.
For about half an hour, no one spoke.
Two hours later.
A sect leader took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, Emperor Chu, there is no problem in launching a war, but...if the war starts, will the Northern Territory use our sect's holy son as a threat?"
"Of course it will." Emperor Chu replied without thinking too much: "The kidnapped Holy Son of the Eastern Region has become a trump card in the hands of the Northern Territory, and they will naturally use the Holy Son to blackmail you!"
"But you also need to remember."
"We must grit our teeth and not let go of the Northern Territory until we gain an absolute advantage in the war."
"Once we let go, Northern Territory will make further progress."
"On the contrary, you grit your teeth and don't dare to act rashly in the Northern Territory."
Emperor Chu laughed twice and continued: "Think about it carefully...the reason why you have so many worries is because the Holy Son is in their hands."
"If the Holy Son is killed by them, do you still have any worries?"
After hearing this, many sect leaders nodded in agreement.
If the Holy Son is not dead, the greatest benefit will be in the hands of the Northern Territory.
If the Holy Son had been killed by the Northern Territory, then the sect that had lost the Holy Son would have no worries and would even go crazy to take revenge on the Northern Territory.
Northern Territory is not that stupid.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Northern Territory will never kill the Holy Son of the Eastern Territory and completely break up with the Eastern Territory Sect.
"Then let's..."
Having said this, many sect leaders have already made their choices.
They looked at each other, their eyes gradually becoming firm.
But at this moment.
"Whether what His Majesty the Emperor Chu said is true or false, it is just speculation."
"We have no idea what the Nine Nether Demon Palace and the Northern Territory are thinking about."
"How about... let us listen to the thoughts of Jiuyou Demon Palace and Beiyu?"
After the sound came, everyone looked for the sound, and finally landed on the Phoenix Valley Sect Master.
The sect leader of Phoenix Valley is not an old man, but a graceful young man.
He was wearing a moon-white robe, with long beautiful hair draped over his shoulders, and a coquettish and evil look on his face.
Especially his face is long and slender, his complexion is fair, and his every frown and smile are full of charm.
But he happened to be a man.
If it is a woman, she must be a stunning beauty who will bring disaster to the country and the people.
"Master of Phoenix Valley..."
Lin Bai remembered the rumors he heard mentioned by Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang before. It was said that Ji Ruoci, the saint of Phoenix Valley, became a saint because she had affairs with many powerful figures in the sect.
The most outrageous rumor is that...Ji Ruoci was originally the forbidden concubine of the current sect master of Phoenix Valley.
But what exactly happened, outsiders have no way of knowing.
"What do fellow Taoists from Phoenix Valley mean by this?"
After hearing the words of the Phoenix Valley Sect Master, many sect leaders showed surprise.
What does it mean to listen to the thoughts of the Nine Nether Demon Palace and the Northern Territory warriors?
The Phoenix Valley Sect Master immediately gave the answer and said with a smile: "Everyone, to be honest, before I arrived at the Imperial Capital, the Nine Nether Demon Palace and the Northern Territory warriors sent envoys to see me."
"And after I arrived in the imperial capital, the envoys from the Nine Nether Demon Palace and the Northern Territory also followed me."
"Now we are waiting under the star-catching platform."
"If you guys can't come up with a result after discussing for a while, why not listen to what they have to say?"
