The cause of the incident was that Lin Bai secretly went to the Northern Territory to rescue the Holy Son and Saint from the Eastern Territory. The First Son of God had no knowledge of this matter, which made him feel a little unhappy.
He thought he was being isolated.
As a result, he didn't dare to show his teeth to Lin Bai, and the Second God Son and the Third God Son were not afraid of him at all, so he could only vent his anger on Daozi Yu You.
It happened that after Lin Bai heard the news, under the instruction of the Third Son of God, he asked Taoist Yu You to inform Elder He Gongji about the matter.
Elder He Gongji was asked to come forward to deal with the First Son of God, but in fact it was to force Elder He Gongji to take sides and distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
The outcome of the matter did not disappoint Lin Bai.
Elder He Gongji really made his choice. In order to show his loyalty, he even flogged the First Son of God in public, until his back was bruised and bruised.
The First Son of God must be reported to the Demon Palace for being so humiliated.
Shi Renshan, the Master of the First Son of God, the Master of the First Temple, and the Eternal Elder of the Council of Elders, was furious after hearing the news.
He came straight towards Yongyeguan.
"How many people are here, Elder Shi Renshan?"
After Lin Bai thought about it for a while, he asked curiously.
Although the Third Son of God didn’t understand what Lin Bai meant, he gave an accurate answer after thinking about it seriously:
"According to the news from the Demon Palace, Elder Shi Renshan is not going alone. He is accompanied by several masters from the First Temple of the Nine Nether Demon Palace!"
"They are probably all warriors in the Hunyuan Dao Fruit and Chaos Dao Fruit realms!"
"It seems that the person who came here is really evil!" Lin Bai took a deep breath, and when he heard Shi Renshan coming with several strong men from the realm of Chaos Dao Fruit, he immediately had a premonition that something was not good.
The Third Son of God was a little nervous and asked: "Emperor, what should we plan?"
What are your plans?... After Lin Bai thought about it seriously, he shook his head and said, "Do nothing!"
"Ah?" The Third Son of God was stunned.
Elder Shi Renshan came here with several warriors from the realm of Chaos and Hunyuan Daoguo. It was obvious that the people who came here were evil.
According to usual practice, Lin Bai should take some precautions or make some preparations at this moment.
If nothing is prepared, if Elder Shi Renshan arrives at Yongye Pass and suddenly takes action against Lin Bai, then they will definitely become the target of public criticism.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "You are just too anxious."
"Look, isn't Elder He Gongji also unprepared?"
The Third Son of God frowned, not quite understanding what Lin Bai meant by his words.
Elder Shi Renshan went to Yongye Pass. Does this have anything to do with Elder He Gongji?
Lin Bai whispered: "Elder Shi Renshan is, after all, the master of the first temple of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, and one of the eternal elders of the Council of Elders!"
"If he comes in person, he must be doing something bad!"
"Since I have learned about this news, how could Elder He Gongji not know about it?"
Lin Bai smiled and said: "If Elder He Gongji already knows that Elder Shi Renshan has gone to Yongye Pass, he should come to me to discuss it now."
"But Elder He Gongji didn't take any action. Obviously, he had already guessed that Elder Shi Renshan would come to Yongye Pass."
"Moreover, Elder He Gongji is very likely to have made corresponding back-up preparations!"
Having said this, Lin Bai sighed softly: "In the final analysis, this matter is a power struggle between high-level warriors of the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"Although we are all the sons of gods and emperors of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, and are nominally the center of power belonging to the Nine Nether Demon Palace, in fact, we don't hold much power!"
"Elder He Gongji and Elder Shi Renshan are different. They are the elders who truly hold real power in the Nine Nether Demon Palace!"
Elder Shi Renshan, the master of the first temple of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, and the eternal elder of the Council of Elders.
Elder He Gongji, the eternal elder of Jiuyou Demon Palace, the supreme commander of Jiuyou Demon Palace on the front line!
From the Elders Council that Lin Bai had attended before, Lin Bai could already see that many warriors followed the advice of Elder Shi Renshan.
The fact that Elder He Gongji can become the supreme commander of Jiuyou Demon Palace on the front line is enough to show that his strength and methods are extraordinary.
These two people can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people in the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
In Lin Bai's eyes... Elder He Gongji, who single-handedly led the chaos in the territory of the Seven Nights Sect, and single-handedly led the decline of the Seven Nights Sect, one of the four most powerful forces in the Eastern Region, was definitely not an impulsive and brainless person.
Since he dared to whip the First Son of God, he must have guessed the thunderous wrath of Elder Shi Renshan, and he must have made corresponding preparations!
Lin Bai had guessed Elder He Gongji's preparation, so he felt confident at this moment!
The Third Son of God suddenly nodded in realization: "Yes, although behind this matter is a confrontation between the Emperor's Son and the First Son of God, the person who handles this matter on the surface is still Elder He Gongji."
"Even if Elder Shi Renshan arrives at Yongye Pass and wants to raise an army to hold him accountable, he should not come to the emperor immediately. Instead, he should go to Elder He Gongji."
"Since Elder He Gongji dares to whip the First Son of God, he must have already prepared a retreat and countermeasures."
The Third Son of God thought that Lin Bai's analysis was very reasonable, and his tense heartstrings gradually relaxed a little.
Just then.
A warrior from the Nine Nether Demon Palace rushed over: "I've seen the Emperor's Son, I've seen the Third Son of God."
"The emperor's son."
"Elder He Gongji invites you to come over and discuss important matters."
I'm really afraid of what will happen!... Lin Bai gave a bitter smile.
The Third Son of God said: "At this moment, Elder He Gongji comes to see the Emperor, either to discuss the martial arts competition in the Northern Territory, or to discuss how to deal with Elder Shi Renshan."
"Emperor, you must be careful."
Lin Bai nodded and asked the warrior to lead the way, and he headed to He Gongji's residence.
Since He Gongji did not invite the Third Son of God and others, the Third Son of God, Mr. Wen and others who were with Lin Bai did not go with him.
In the dark stone room of Elder He Gongji's residence.
Elder He Gongji, who was dressed in a gray robe, sat behind the bill, leaning against the back of the chair, holding a scroll in his hand, and carefully scanning the contents of the book.
Lin Bai didn't knock on the door, but after arriving at the door, he opened the door and walked in.
Seeing that Elder He Gongji ignored him, Lin Bai also smiled softly and sat on a chair casually, ignoring Elder He Gongji.
Lin Bai could also see that it seemed that Elder He Gongji was still angry about the previous incident, and seemed to resent Lin Bai.
After the two were silent for a long time in the room, Elder He Gongji finally ran out of patience and threw the book in his hand on the desk, staring at Lin Bai with a pair of gloomy eyes.
"Why!"
A long sigh came from the mouth of Elder He Gongji.
Lin Bai sat on a chair and looked at him calmly, still without saying anything.
"how?"
"Are you mute now?"
Elder He Gongji frowned, looked at Lin Bai and asked.
Lin Bai smiled silently and spread his hands: "Elder He Gongji, you ordered someone to call me over. I still don't know what is going on. What do you want me to say?"
Elder He Gongji said with a gloomy face: "Didn't the Third Son of God inform you about Elder Shi Renshan going to Yongye Pass?"
Lin Bai nodded and said, "I informed you, but what does this have to do with me?"
Elder He Gongji frowned and asked, "Are you really stupid? Or are you pretending to be stupid?"
Lin Bai took a deep breath and said: "The competition between the geniuses of the Eastern Region and the Northern Region is about to begin. I think Elder Shi Renshan is here to supervise the battle."
"After all, this battle is extremely important to Jiuyou Demon Palace, and there is no room for any mistakes."
"It is reasonable for the Demon Palace to send Elder Shi Renshan here!"
Lin Bai smiled and did not reveal the matter.
Elder He Gongji's face darkened and he said, "You should know that Elder Shi Renshan came to Yongye Pass not just for this matter."
"It's more because of the whipping of the First Son of God."
"Speaking of this matter..." Lin Bai sat up straight, looked at Elder He Gongji with a smile and said, "Speaking of this matter, I have to sigh, the elder is really a hero!"
"There are many warriors inside and outside the Demon Palace who are displeased with the First God Son, but no one dares to go against him. Only heroes like the elder dare to whip the First God Son in public and give him a good start!"
He Gongji saw that Lin Bai was still making jokes, and immediately became angry:
"Stop coming!"
"If you hadn't forced me to do so, how could I have risked offending Shi Renshan and whipped the First Son of God!"
Lin Bai was confused and asked: "What did I force the elder to do?"
Elder He Gongji stared at Lin Bai with his eyes fixed on him, feeling extremely angry in his heart: "What else do you want to do?"
"Isn't my statement enough?"
"I came to you today just to discuss with you how to deal with Elder Shi Renshan. Why are you still here playing riddles with me?"
Lin Bai remained unmoved, but smiled and said: "It's not that I want to play riddles with the elder, but the elder has been playing riddles with me."
"The elders obviously already have a way to deal with Elder Shi Renshan, so why do you need to pretend to pry into my thoughts here?"
"how?"
Lin Bai raised his eyebrows and asked with a sneer: "Does the elder want to see my determination? Does he want to see if I have the ability to compete with the First Son of God or even Elder Shi Renshan?"
"Want to see if you're on the wrong team?"
Elder He Gongji's expression suddenly solidified. He did not expect that Lin Bai had already seen what he was thinking in his heart.
It was indeed just as Lin Bai had guessed!
There was already a way to deal with Elder Shi Renshan.
And when he called Lin Bai here today, he was also testing Lin Bai.
After learning from Lin Bai that Shi Renshan went to Yongye Pass, what kind of reaction did Lin Bai have? And what kind of countermeasures should be taken.
Therefore, he informed the Third Son of God in advance that Elder Shi Renshan was going to Yongye Pass, and secretly instructed the Third Son of God to inform Lin Bai of the news.
Then he ordered people to invite Lin Bai over.
From the time when the Third Son of God informed Lin Bai of the news to when Lin Bai arrived at the residence of Elder He Gongji, it took no more than half an hour.
In such a short period of time, it is enough to show Lin Bai's adaptability.
The time was too short, and there was not enough time for Lin Bai to think and study.
If the time is too long, He Gongji’s judgment on Lin Bai will be lost.
Therefore, the timing was extremely clever. Just after the Third Son of God informed Lin Bai of the news, he immediately invited Lin Bai over.
During this period of time, it was enough for Lin Bai to think carefully and come up with countermeasures.
If Lin Bai arrived at the residence of Elder He Gongji with a look of panic and nervousness on his face, like a headless fly, Elder He Gongji would definitely be extremely disappointed.
Because he knew very well that if Shi Renshan scared Lin Bai out of his wits just by going to Yongye Pass, then Lin Bai would never be able to become the true son of the emperor!
On the contrary, He Gongji didn't expect that after Lin Bai arrived, he didn't tell him any good ideas. Instead, he kept playing Tai Chi with He Gongji.
After some probing by He Gongji, Lin Bai finally expressed his thoughts. It turned out that he had already guessed that Elder He Gongji had already come up with a countermeasure.
After the two old foxes made their conversation clear, the nervousness and uneasiness on Elder He Gongji's face disappeared.
He showed a sinister smile, leaned back on the chair, and looked at Lin Bai indifferently:
"I didn't expect that the emperor had already guessed that I had a plan in mind?"
Lin Bai chuckled and said: "If Elder He Gongji didn't even have this ability, he wouldn't have single-handedly led the defeat of the Seven Nights Sect."
"Haha." He Gongji didn't know if he had received Lin Bai's praise, which made him feel a sense of accomplishment:
"On the school grounds that day, as long as you nod slightly and I use a few heavy blows, I can kill the First Son of God silently with my staff."
"But at that time, you didn't give me an accurate reply!"
That day at the school grounds, Elder He Gongji whipped the First God Son in public and blocked all the muscles and cultivation of the First God Son.
At that time, the First Son of God was like a useless person. He Gongji cast a questioning look at Lin Bai. As long as he saw Lin Bai nodding, the First Son of God would be a dead person that day.
"The death of the First Son of God will bring great benefits to me, but it will also bring no benefit to you or the Demon Palace!"
"There is no need to lose a far-sighted and supreme Taoist realm warrior for the sake of a dispensable person!"
Lin Bai chuckled and said: "Even if I want to kill the First Son of God, I don't need Elder He Gongji to take action. I will naturally have a way to deal with him!"
He Gongji felt warm in his heart when he heard this. He could tell that Lin Bai did not give him instructions to kill the First Son of God that day, but was more thinking about him.
If He Gongji took action to kill the First Son of God, Shi Renshan would definitely not give up and would even point his sword at He Gongji.
Lin Bai whispered: "Elder Shi Renshan currently has a high prestige within the Demon Palace. Of these two masters and apprentices, one is a role model for many warriors in the Nine Nether Demon Palace, and the other is very famous among the eternal elders of the Elders Council!"
"Killing them will only set you on fire!"
Elder He Gongji seemed to understand the meaning of Lin Bai's words, so he nodded slightly and said, "Then what is the emperor's plan?"
Lin Bai said: "It is not too late to deal with them by weakening their edge and dispersing their trust."
