I heard that Lin Bai did not answer the question directly, but asked why the Li family did not respond to the call of the Qiye Shenzong.
Even if the Seven Nights Divine Sect is in decline, he is still the leader of the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory and has the right to call on the power of all sects and families in the entire Seven Nights Divine Sect territory.
After the Seven Nights Divine Sect defined the Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley as traitors, the Seven Nights Divine Sect immediately issued an edict to all the sects and families in the entire territory, requiring all sects and families to unite to encircle and suppress the Chunyang Sect and the Phoenix Valley.
Phoenix Valley.
But so far, from Lin Bai's perspective, the Li family of Yong'en City should not have complied with the call of the Seven Nights Divine Sect.
That's why Lin Bai asked this question.
When asked suddenly by Lin Bai, the head of the Li family couldn't help but show a little panic in his expression.
He was in a dilemma for a while, then he simply gritted his teeth and told the truth.
"My lords, now that the matter has come to this, we can only tell you the truth."
The head of the Li family seemed to have made some kind of decision to show off to Lin Bai and Chu Zimo.
"The two adults are from the territory of the Chu State. I'm afraid they don't know much about the affairs of our Seven Nights Divine Sect."
"The Seven Nights Divine Sect has lost the prestige of the most prosperous sect in the territory. They no longer have the right to command the top sects and small and medium-sized families in the territory."
"As for why the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect responded to the call of the Seven Nights Sect, there are only two reasons."
"The first reason is because the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect have to rise up to resist. If the Northern Territory and the Jiuyou Demon Palace succeed, their two major territories will be wiped out."
"The second reason is because of... Lord Langhou of Chu State... no, it should be said to be because of Lord Qin."
"Prince Qin has been friends with Meng Qinxian, the saint of Fantian Sect, and Nie Shang, the saint of Baitian Sect for many years. It is said that he also has a lot of friendship with Yi Gu, the direct descendant of Qiye Shenzong, so these two sects will respond to Qiye
Shenzong’s call.”
When Lin Bai heard this, his expression was gloomy and he didn't say much.
The words of the head of the Li family may be true or false, but there is no way to tell.
Maybe it's because the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect know the truth about the death of lips and teeth, or maybe it's because of Lin Bai. There are many reasons and it's hard to tell.
The head of the Li family bit his cheek and sighed softly and said: "Although our Li family is considered a big family in Yong'en City, if it is placed on the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, it can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized family."
"Small and medium-sized families have very little say in the territory."
Small and medium-sized families are a general term for sects and families that are second only to the top sects.
As long as they have not reached the level of top sects, all sects and families can be called small and medium-sized families.
Although they are weak, they cannot be bullied by others.
Within a territory, there is only one prosperous sect, and there are no more than seven or eight top sects at most. Most sects and families belong to small and medium-sized families.
They are the backbone of a territory.
Their power cannot be underestimated, and even if hundreds of small and medium-sized families unite, they are enough to compete with the power of top sects.
The head of the Li family paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, and whispered slowly: "We, the Li family, cannot control the grievances and wars in the territory of the Seven Nights Sect. We can only pray that in the war, we can have a glimmer of hope for the family."
"The current situation of the Seven Nights Divine Sect is not very clear, and we do not dare to team up easily."
Lin Bai also understood the concerns of the head of the Li family.
The situation in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect is indeed extremely complicated.
On the surface, it is an internal fight within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, but in fact it is a war between the Northern Territory and the Nine Nether Demon Palace, as well as a war between the Eastern Territory and the Northern Territory.
The implications are extremely complex.
The head of the Li family looked at Lin Bai with complex and cold eyes, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry to be blunt... with the power of the Seven Nights Sect, Fantian Sect, Worshiping Heaven Sect and other sects, there is no way they can compete with Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley."
"In other words... we can't fight the forces behind them!"
"If the Seven Nights Divine Sect does not have other external aid, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to help the Seven Nights Divine Sect."
Chu Zimo laughed mockingly when he heard this, and said angrily: "I finally understand why there is internal fighting in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect. If there is such disunity within the territory, isn't it telling others that they can invade?"
Lin Bai remained silent and felt that what Chu Zi Mo said was reasonable.
It seems that the situation of the Seven Nights Divine Sect is more complicated than Lin Bai imagined.
Not only the high-level forces in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, but also the Seven Nights Divine Sect, Fantian Sect, Baitian Sect and other sects are facing serious internal conflicts.
Even the small and medium-sized families within the Seven Nights Divine Sect have different ideas.
How could there be no accidents in such a territory?
Chu Zimo stared at the head of the Li family and said: "Our territory of Chu State is much simpler. Don't look at the royal children in our Chu State's territory who have seized power and fought hard to separate us. But once a foreign enemy invades... our Chu State's territory
The warriors will share the same hatred with the enemy and drive away the foreign enemies."
"This is the difference between the Chu Kingdom's territory and the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory."
To be precise... it's because of different cultural inheritance... Lin Bai said slowly in his heart.
The Chu State's territory has a much deeper foundation than both the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory and the Qitian Sect's territory.
The Chu State has been established for more than 300,000 years. In the past time, the Chu State has used various methods to educate the people.
This made the interior of the entire Chu State territory monolithic.
Even though there were constant internal battles among the top brass of Chu State, after hundreds of thousands of years of brainwashing and rule, not only did the royal family have a certain resonance, but even the warriors in Chu State's territory felt the same way.
As Chu Zimo said... When there is no invasion from foreign enemies, it doesn't matter how much trouble there is in the territory of Chu State.
But once a foreign enemy invades, Chu's territory will inevitably become monolithic.
It is not an exaggeration to say that all trees and grass are soldiers.
The head of the Li family also had his own explanation when faced with Chu Zimo's cynicism.
"Haha, what the Lord said is absolutely true."
"But this is the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, not the territory of Chu State."
"My Li family is not a big family, so I have to think about the future of the family."
The head of the Li family had a frown on his face. Perhaps he never dreamed that... during the years he had been the head of the family, the Seven Nights Sect would undergo such huge changes.
Chu Zimo pouted, not wanting to argue with them too much, so he simply sat back and continued drinking.
He left the negotiation entirely to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai held the wine glass, took a deep breath, and asked, "What are the Li family waiting for?"
The head of the Li family frowned and asked Lin Bai, "We want to know what the attitude of Chu State is?"
There is nothing bad to say about Chu State’s attitude.
Lin Bai told the truth bluntly: "Whether it is towards the Northern Territory or towards the Nine Nether Demon Palace, Chu State's attitude is very simple... Anyone who invades our territory will be punished no matter how far away!"
