Lin Bai sat on the stone throne and discovered that in such an occasion, the matter discussed was obviously closely related to him, but he was not even qualified to speak.
Saint Elder Luo Yuanjing, who had always maintained a kind smile, heard the argument in the hall getting more and more heated, and perhaps thought the time was ripe, he deliberately coughed twice.
"Ahem."
Two soft coughs were heard, and the dark hall, which was originally like a vegetable market, quickly became quiet, and both parties involved in the heated debate retreated to their seats and sat down.
For a moment, the entire dark hall fell silent.
Just this small detail allowed Lin Bai to see the extraordinary status of this holy elder in the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
He almost didn't have to shout to stop. Just two coughs quickly silenced the arguing senior officials of Jiuyou Demon Palace.
It is enough to show how important this person is and how high his status is in the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
"Elder Yao Daogu proposed that little friend Lin Bai join Jiuyou Demon Palace, which is understandable."
"After all, whether it is the Stone Throne or the Supreme Prime Minister, if little friend Lin Bai joins the Nine Nether Demon Palace, it will only be good for the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
Saint Elder Luo Yuanjing spoke calmly, first confirming Yao Daogu's idea.
"Holy Elder is wise." Yao Daogu bowed his hands gratefully: "I made this suggestion entirely for the sake of the Demon Palace, and there is absolutely no second intention."
"I understand." Saint Elder Luo Yuanjing knew Yao Daogu's original intention, and it would be a good thing if he could win over Lin Bai to join the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
However, Holy Elder Luo Yuanjing suddenly changed the subject, "But what Elder Liang Zhenbao said is indeed reasonable. If little friend Lin Bai joins the Jiuyou Demon Palace with bad intentions, I am afraid it will ruin the Demon Palace's long-term plan."
"This matter does still need to be considered in the long term."
"Holy Elder is wise." Liang Zhenbao also responded with his hands raised.
The elders of the Nine Nether Demon Palace who were present seemed to be used to this situation. The holy elders seemed to like to give sweet dates a slap in the face.
They definitely don't lean completely toward either side.
Unless the situation has reached the point where it is inevitable.
"Haha." Holy Elder Luo Yuanjing laughed twice, "We are having a lively discussion here, but it seems that we have never asked little friend Lin Bai for his opinion."
He suddenly turned to face Lin Bai and asked with a smile: "Little friend Lin Bai, the current situation has been explained very clearly. I wonder what little friend Lin Bai thinks?"
What do you think?... Lin Bai frowned.
Why does it sound like Jiuyou Demon Palace is buying and selling by force?
Just because he got the Stone Throne and the Nine Nether Demon Palace was unwilling to give up the Stone Throne, there were only two choices before the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
First, either win over Lin Bai and let him join the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
This is the idea proposed by Yao Daogu.
But besides this, there is a second option, and this option is to kill Lin Bai.
Although Lin Bai's cultivation is not weak and his martial arts talent is extraordinary, after all, he is only at the top level of Taiyi Daoguo realm.
As long as the Jiuyou Demon Palace is willing to bear the reputation of "killing the genius", then even if Lin Bai has extraordinary means, he will not be able to get out of the Jiuyou City.
Therefore, Yao Daogu took the lead in proposing to win over Lin Bai, which was actually a good thing for Lin Bai. At least it could temporarily prevent Jiuyou Demon Palace from making dangerous moves.
But it is absolutely impossible for Lin Bai to join the Nine Nether Demon Palace. After all, Lin Bai is a warrior from the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, the King of Qin of the Chu State, and the Holy Son of the Tianshui Sect.
They are still rival sects of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
Even if Lin Bai is willing to join the Jiuyou Demon Palace, given Lin Bai's status in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, he will be wary of him at all times in the Jiuyou Demon Palace.
It won't be taken seriously at all.
As for the "position of Son of God" promised by Yao Daogu, it could be a false position, and Lin Bai would not be given any power.
Due to emotions and reasons, Lin Bai thought about it and couldn't seem to think of any reason to join the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
He then smiled and said: "Seniors, I am originally the King of Qin of the Chu State and the Holy Son of the Tianshui Sect. How could I join the Nine Nether Demon Palace?"
"And the reason why I came here this time is because senior Ji Canghai forced me to do so. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for this junior to come to Jiuyou Demon Palace."
Lin Bai sternly refused.
The reason why Lin Bai spoke so resolutely was because he actually wanted to see the follow-up attitude of Jiuyou Demon Palace and how they planned to deal with him.
as expected.
After hearing Lin Bai's stern refusal to join the Nine Nether Demon Palace, the entire dark hall was silent, and the atmosphere instantly solidified. Some of the elders even exuded bursts of murderous aura.
The goddess Li Guxian of the Ninth Temple's face darkened when she heard this, and her eyes seemed to be worried about Lin Bai.
Ji Canghai and others remained calm and silent. They were not shocked by Lin Bai's words of rejection, but seemed to be expecting them.
At this time.
Among the elders sitting in the second row in the dark hall, someone stood up and said, "Little friend Lin Bai, you have to think carefully before answering."
"The place where you are now is the Jiuyou City of my Nine Nether Demon Palace, and it is the headquarters of my Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"This place has been kept highly confidential all year round. If little friend Lin Bai is unwilling to join the Jiuyou Demon Palace, then I am afraid that little friend Lin Bai will never be able to leave Jiuyou City again."
This elder's words were nothing more than threatening Lin Bai.
If you don't join the Nine Nether Demon Palace, in order to ensure that the location of the headquarters is not leaked, the Nine Nether Demon Palace can only imprison Lin Bai, or directly get rid of Lin Bai.
Another elder also stood up at the same time and said: "What good is King Qin of Chu State? The iron laws of Chu State are so strict, it is better to have fun in the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"As for the Tianshui Sect, let alone it. A top sect is not taken seriously by our Jiuyou Demon Palace at all. As long as we are willing, the Tianshui Sect can disappear from the world tomorrow."
"Being a holy son of the Tianshui Sect is not as comfortable as being a divine son of the Nine Nether Demon Palace?"
"Little friend Lin Bai, you still need to think carefully before speaking."
The elder spoke with full of contempt, directly devaluing Chu State and Tianshui Sect as worthless.
Another elder also said: "Little friend Lin Bai, the Stone Throne has chosen you. You must have seen the power of this treasure."
"Since he has chosen you, this is a great opportunity."
"If you have this precious treasure to help you, your future martial arts path will definitely be smoother."
Another elder also followed up and said: "Little friend Lin Bai, don't underestimate our Nine Nether Demon Palace. Even if the outside world claims that we have been destroyed for a hundred thousand years, but even now... the strength of the Nine Nether Demon Palace is not as strong as that of the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm.
How far behind any peak power is."
After Lin Bai sternly refused to join the Nine Nether Demon Palace, one after another the elders spoke out, either with heartfelt admonitions or alarmist threats.
Anyway, he looked like he was going to force Lin Bai to join the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
