"It's possible that an insect is sealed in the Purple Edge Stone, but it's also possible that a person is sealed inside?"
"Is it right?"
Lin Bai held the wine glass and looked at Hua Qianshu with a meaningful smile on his face, trying to get some clues from the subtle expression changes on Hua Qianshu's face.
But Hua Qianshu obviously would not show it easily. He just smiled in cooperation and had no reaction.
"I am becoming more and more interested in Jiuyou City. Maybe I will stay here for a while longer."
Since he couldn't get relevant clues from Hua Qianshu's mouth, Lin Bai had no choice but to find it himself.
"Maybe Prince Qin really has to stay in Jiuyou City for a while." Hua Qianshu also said with a smile.
Lin Bai chuckled twice, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you know why Jiuyou City invited me back as a guest?"
Hua Qianshu frowned when he heard this, "I don't know."
"To be honest, even I am very curious."
Judging from the expression on Hua Qianshu's face, it seemed that he was not telling lies or hiding anything.
He really didn't know why Jiuyou Demon Palace invited Lin Bai to Jiuyou City.
Moreover, the invitation to Lin Bai as a guest was not at any branch in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, but directly with the chief helm.
You must know that Jiuyou City, the commander-in-chief of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, has been searched for countless years by the warriors from the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm but has not been able to find it. How could Lin Bai be brought here casually to such a secret place?
Even though Ji Canghai had previously said with certainty that the Jiuyou Demon Palace would make a comeback after this battle, such a secret Jiuyou City could not be exposed casually.
Hua Qianshu added a few words: "About half a year ago, an order suddenly came from Jiuyou City, that is... if there is a chance, find a way to bring Brother Lin back."
"This order is sent directly to the high-level warriors in Jiuyou City, as well as the major helmsmen in the demon world."
"Besides, if the headquarter wants to survive, we can't kill Prince Qin."
Hua Qianshu looked into Jiuyou City and said: "Since it is news coming from inside the Demon Palace, I believe it should be a decision made by the Council of Elders after deliberation."
"Council of Elders?" Lin Bai looked at Hua Qianshu curiously.
Hua Qianshu chuckled and said, "It's okay to tell Brother Lin these things. As long as Brother Lin stays in Jiuyou City for a few more days, he will naturally know about the existence of the Council of Elders."
"The nominal manager of Jiuyou City is the Palace Master of Jiuyou Demon Palace."
"But the Palace Master is usually like a divine dragon who never sees the end. Even we have never seen the Palace Master."
"Therefore, on weekdays, matters inside and outside the Jiuyou Demon Palace and daily affairs in Jiuyou City are handled by the Council of Elders."
"There are three types of elders in the Council of Elders!"
"The first type of core elder. There is no distinction between elders of this level and there should be about several hundred core elders."
"When the Council of Elders makes a decision and the order is issued, the core elders of the Council of Elders will begin to implement it."
"For example...Senior Ji Canghai and my father are both core elders of the Council of Elders. They are responsible for completing the tasks assigned by the Council of Elders."
Lin Bai nodded in sudden realization. No wonder when he entered Jiuyou City, the warrior guarding the city gate was so respectful after seeing Ji Canghai.
"Senior Ji Canghai is the chief helmsman of the Nine Nether Demon Palace in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, so your father..." Lin Bai asked Hua Qianshu.
Hua Qianshu nodded and said: "Yes, my father is the chief helmsman of Jiuyou Demon Palace within the territory of Halloween Mountain."
Lin Bai took a deep breath and looked astonished.
The Jiuyou Demon Palace has a general rudder in the territory of the four most powerful forces in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm.
At present, Lin Bai has met three chief helmsmen.
Ji Canghai, the chief helmsman of the Kuhai Branch in the Qiye Shenzong territory, Xuanqing Yaodao, the chief helmsman of the Chu Kingdom territory, and Mei Zongzhu, the current chief helmsman of the Wansheng Mountain territory, the Meihua Villa.
Only the chief helmsman of Qitian Sect's territory was left, whom Lin Bai had not met yet.
The power status of the chief rudders in the four major territories is not very small, and the chief rudders are also the core elders of the Elder Council of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
Hua Qianshu continued: "The second type of elder in the Council of Elders is called the Eternal Elder."
"There are hundreds of core elders in the Council of Elders, but the number of eternal elders is very few."
"I don't know exactly how many."
"I once asked my father, but my father did not tell me the detailed quantity or name."
"But according to my speculation, the number of eternal elders is very small, probably within twenty people."
"The Eternal Elder's status is above the core elders, and he can be regarded as one of the real leaders in the Nine Nether Demon Palace!"
"..."
"Finally, there are the three holy elders of the Council of Elders."
"These three holy elders are not only unpredictable in their cultivation, but they are also responsible for coordinating the entire Jiuyou Demon Palace."
"At the beginning of every Elders' Council, if the Palace Master is not present, then a Holy Elder must be present, otherwise any decision made at the Elders' Council will be invalid."
"..."
Hua Qianshu did not hesitate to tell Lin Bai the news. In fact, he knew very well that the existence of the Council of Elders was no longer a secret in Jiuyou City.
As long as Lin Bai stayed in Jiuyou City for a few more days, with Lin Bai's curiosity, sooner or later he would find out about the existence of the Council of Elders.
Rather than letting Lin Bai carefully find clues, Hua Qianshu might as well tell Lin Bai the news directly, thereby also building up a friendship with Lin Bai.
Lin Bai asked curiously: "Then what is the relationship between the Council of Elders and the Nine Great Temples?"
"Haha." Hua Qianshu chuckled: "Of course it does matter, but it doesn't matter."
"Brother Lin is very curious about the Nine Temples, right?"
Lin Bai nodded and said: "That's natural. I'm naturally extremely curious about the nine temples of the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
Hua Qianshu looked at the nine extremely tall stone pillars in Jiuyou City and the palace on the top of the stone pillars, and said, "Those are the nine great temples."
Before entering Jiuyou City, Lin Bai noticed the nine stone pillars and guessed that they were the locations of the nine major temples.
Hua Qianshu said: "If the Nine Nether Demon Palace is compared to a territory, then the Nine Great Temples are equivalent to the top sects in this territory. In fact, this is the relationship."
"The warriors of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, whether they are the warriors in the Nine Nether City, or the warriors in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm."
"They have two paths to promotion."
"The first one is to make great contributions to the Demon Palace. The Demon Palace will naturally reward them with many treasures and opportunities, allowing them to improve their cultivation."
"The second one is specifically for those talented warriors."
"For example, if an ordinary warrior in the sub-rudder is found to be talented, he will be recommended by the sub-ruler to go to the main helm to take the assessment."
"After the chief helmsman passes the examination, he will be secretly sent to Jiuyou City."
"After arriving in Jiuyou City, they will continue to take the assessment of the nine major temples. If they pass the assessment of that temple, they will join that temple."
"..."
Lin Bai was stunned for a moment and nodded repeatedly.
