"I didn't expect that I had just returned to the Demon Palace. I thought I could rest for two days, but now I have to start running around again."
Lin Bai, wearing a moon-white robe, stood on the bow of Yunzhou, looking at the magnificent mountain scenery ahead.
Dressed in a robe as white as snow, with a slightly melancholy expression on his face that had completely faded away from youthfulness, Lin Bai looked like a weathered young rich man at this moment.
Daozi Yuyou was still wearing a long black gauze dress, with deep eyes and a serious smile, standing calmly on the right side of Lin Bai.
Mr. Wen was dressed like an old servant of the family, wearing an ordinary black robe, and his wrinkled face was filled with a naive smile.
Daozi Yuyou whispered: "The First Son of God and Elder He Gongji have just returned to the Demon Palace, but they show no signs of going out."
"If we leave now, will they do something behind our back?"
This is something that Daozi Yuyou is more worried about.
In the competition between the Eastern Region and the Northern Region's geniuses, the First Son of God disappointingly lost the competition, and his original popularity and prestige in the Nine Nether Demon Palace was greatly reduced.
At this moment, the first thing he needs to do when he returns to the Nine Nether Demon Palace is to win back people's hearts.
But at this moment, Lin Bai suddenly wanted to go out again.
If Lin Bai stayed in the Demon Palace, defeated the warriors from the Northern Territory, and gained the glory of the competition between geniuses, he would surely be able to unite a group of people loyal to him in the Demon Palace.
Lin Bai shook his head and said with a smile: "A force like the Demon Palace that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years generally has a big drawback!"
Daozi Yu You and Mr. Wen paused when they heard this, and then both looked at Lin Bai, waiting for Lin Bai's subsequent answer.
Lin Bai continued: "The inheritance has been passed down for too long, which has resulted in the various forces within the sect being intertwined and extremely complicated."
"Just like the current Demon Palace."
"Some people support the First Son of God, and some people support me."
"Although the people we support are different, most of them hold the same idea, that is, we hope that after one of us becomes the person in power, we can bring them enough benefits!"
When he was still in Jiuyou City, Lin Bai had not yet joined the Jiuyou Demon Palace. Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia rushed to the doctor as if they were ill and wanted to support Lin Bai to the throne of the emperor.
He also created a theory of "reincarnation of the Holy Lord", making it easier for Lin Bai's identity to be recognized by the warriors of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
In fact, it was precisely because of the saying of "the reincarnation of the Holy Lord" that many Jiuyou Demon Palace warriors had high hopes for Lin Bai and felt a sense of belonging.
Perhaps they valued Lin Bai's potential, but Lin Bai believed that they did not want to see the First Son of God become the Son of the Emperor and the future leader of the Demon Palace.
That's why after they discovered Lin Bai, they worked so hard to support Lin Bai as the emperor's son.
As for how much benefit Lin Bai's becoming the emperor's son would bring to them, they have not thought much about it for the time being, but it is at least better than the first son of God becoming the person in power.
Of course, behind this there is naturally the mysterious Lord of the Demon Palace who is pushing and acquiescing, otherwise Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia would not dare to act so wantonly.
Lin Bai said to Daozi Yuyou: "So, whether I am in the Demon Palace or not, He Gongji and Yao Daogu will naturally be at odds!"
"As for the First Son of God, there is nothing to fear."
"After I deal with the matter in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, if he still wants to provoke me regardless of life and death, then I don't mind getting rid of him directly!"
After the competition between the geniuses from the Eastern Region and the Northern Region, Lin Bai saw the true strength of many warriors.
Among them is the First Son of God.
Judging from the situation in the martial arts competition, although the strength of the First Son of God is good, it has not yet reached the level of Xiao Junfeng and Lin Bai.
Lin Bai already had a plan in his heart. If the opportunity was right, it would not be impossible to get rid of the First Son of God.
But definitely not now.
If Lin Bai fights with the First Son of God now, it will inevitably cause turmoil within the Demon Palace, which is not suitable for the current strategy of the Demon Palace.
"Instead of worrying about the Demon Palace, it's better to worry more about how to deal with the Seven Nights Divine Sect, Fantian Sect, and Worshiping Heaven Sect!"
"I'm so troubled by this!"
Lin Bai found a chair and sat casually on the bedside, placing his hand on his forehead and rubbing his eyebrows.
Daozi Yuyou brought a cup of tea and said calmly:
"Qiye Shen Sect, Fantian Sect, and Tianbai Sect all have some friendship with Senior Brother Dizi, so it shouldn't be difficult to handle it."
Lin Bai did not answer, but Mr. Wen said:
"Haha, isn't it difficult?"
"That's the hardest thing."
"Although the emperor has a close relationship with Yi Gu, the leader of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, Meng Qinxian, the saint son of the Fantian Sect, and Nie Shang, the saint son of the Baitian Sect, after all, this is related to the vital interests of each major sect."
"These friendships can only provide an opportunity for communication and negotiation, and it is difficult to influence their choices."
Lin Bai nodded, quite agreeing with Mr. Wen's statement.
"Forget it for now, let's go to Baima City first."
Lin Bai ordered Mr. Wen to control Yunzhou and head towards Baima City.
After the Qiye Shenzong was destroyed, the fire warriors who escaped took root in Baima City.
Lin Bai planned to go to Baima City first to meet the senior officials of Qiye Shen Sect, and then go to Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect.
After all, when he met with the Seven Nights Divine Sect, Lin Bai reached a preliminary agreement with Yi Gu and his sisters, and this trip was to implement these things.
…
Since Lin Bai, Mr. Wen and others' Yunzhou had concealed its whereabouts along the way to avoid being discovered by the Demon Slayer Alliance, it took a lot of time to arrive at Baima City.
Baima City was originally located at the border between Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley, a relatively awkward boundary.
Originally this place was a sparsely populated border town, but as the Seven Nights Divine Sect took root here, there were more and more warriors, and it gradually developed into an important border city.
Lin Bai, Mr. Wen, and Daozi Yuyou did not enter Baima City with great fanfare, but pretended to be ordinary warriors and walked into the market in Baima City.
"Robbery! Robbery!!"
"Killing! Killing!"
Just after walking out of Baima City, Lin Bai, Mr. Wen and others immediately heard bursts of shouting coming from the noisy market.
And a smell of blood filled the air. They turned to look at the dark alley not far away, where several men in black quickly killed a young man and took away all his belongings.
But the warriors around him just glanced at it, lost their curiosity, and left quickly as if nothing had happened.
But soon, some warriors wearing the uniforms of the Seven Nights Divine Sect came to the alley to investigate the situation and closely investigated the surrounding criminals.
After Lin Bai glanced at it, he also withdrew his gaze.
Mr. Wen said: "The Seven Nights Divine Sect fled here. Although there are many warriors to maintain order, more and more warriors are pouring into Baima City, causing a mixture of fish and dragons, making it difficult to manage."
Lin Bai added: "Especially since the Seven Nights Divine Sect has just experienced a great defeat, the people's hearts are weakening, and it is not conducive to management."
"Forget it, never mind."
"Go to the city lord's mansion to meet Yi Gu."
After walking through the noisy and crowded streets of Baima City, Lin Bai, Mr. Wen, Dao Zi Yuyou and others came to the cleaner, tidier and extravagant streets of Baima City.
This place is the city lord's palace of Baima City.
Most of the senior management and core personnel of the Seven Nights Sect live in this neighborhood.
Daozi Yuyou came to the city lord's mansion, glanced at the closed city lord's mansion, and said:
"Shall I knock on the door?"
"No need."
Lin Bai and Mr. Wen shook their heads almost at the same time, and both raised their heads to look at the sky.
"Someone already knows we're coming."
As soon as Lin Bai's voice fell, he saw a rickety figure appear out of thin air in the sky above the City Lord's Mansion.
The figure was relatively short, with a stooped back and a strong aura of death all over his body, like a dying man.
"Haha, my friend, it's been hard coming all the way. Come and have a drink at the bar."
He smiled and looked at Lin Bai and the other three people in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
"That's exactly what I meant!"
Lin Bai smiled and agreed.
The next moment.
Lin Bai, Mr. Wen, and Dao Zi Yuyou suddenly disappeared out of thin air in front of the City Lord's Mansion, penetrated the magic circle of the City Lord's Mansion, and appeared in a garden.
In the pavilion in the center of the garden, the stooped old man was holding a cane and looking at Lin Bai and Wen with a smile.
Lin Bai walked over with a smile on his face and entered the pavilion.
The rickety old man with a cane had a slightly stiff smile on his face. After looking at Lin Bai in shock, he looked at Mr. Wen again.
He intuitively sensed that Mr. Wen's cultivation strength far exceeded that of Lin Bai, but it seemed that Lin Bai was the dominant one among the three.
He couldn't help but guess Lin Bai's identity and asked with a smile:
"Where do you come from, little friend? Why do you come to Baima City?"
Lin Bai, who had just walked into the pavilion, heard the old man's question. Before Lin Bai could answer, Old Wen took the initiative to introduce:
"We come from the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"This is the emperor's son of our Nine Nether Demon Palace!"
Upon hearing this, the rickety old man's eyes quickly filled with a little surprise, and there was also hatred and anger deep in his eyes.
"So... Your Excellency is the King of Qin of the Chu Kingdom who is famous in the Eastern Region, and the Emperor of the Demon Palace!"
"Lin Bai?"
Lin Bai cupped his hands and said, "Junior Lin Bai, pay my respects to my senior."
"Hmph." The rickety old man snorted coldly: "It's quite polite."
"What are you doing here from the Nine Nether Demon Palace in our White Horse City?"
Lin Bai said: "Of course we have important matters to discuss when we come here, but I don't know if senior can make the decision for the Seven Nights Divine Sect?"
The rickety old man was stunned for a moment, and then replied coldly: "Just wait, I'll ask Yi Gu and the others to come over."
After finishing speaking, the rickety old man sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, holding his cane and saying nothing.
Not long after.
The contemporary leader of the Seven Nights Sect, Yi Gu, quickly walked through the corridor side by side with a beautiful woman and came to the pavilion.
"Uncle, call me."
After Yi Gu came over, since Lin Bai, Mr. Wen and others all had their backs to Lin Bai, Yi Gu greeted the rickety old man first.
Then, they looked at Lin Bai and the others. Yi Gu intuitively thought that Lin Bai's back looked familiar.
The rickety old man nodded and looked at Lin Bai.
Only then did Yi Gu and the woman's eyes fall on Lin Bai, and they looked at it carefully.
Lin Bai also slowly turned around at this moment, smiled and said to Yi Gu: "Brother Yi, Miss Yi Jinyi, you are well."
The woman who followed Yi Gu was surprisingly his eldest sister Yi Jinyi, the eldest among the seven eldest ladies of the Seven Nights Sect.
Originally, Yi Jinyi was already married, but because the Seven Nights Sect suffered such a disaster and Yi Gu was relatively young, he had to return to the Seven Nights Sect to help manage the overall situation.
At present, in Baima City, the people who really call the shots in the Seven Nights Divine Sect, apart from the high-level warriors who still exist in the Seven Nights Divine Sect, are Yi Gu and Yi Jinyi.
"Brother Lin."
When Yi Gu saw Lin Bai, his face naturally showed joy. He originally planned to step forward and give Lin Bai a hug, but found that the rickety old man's face did not look good, so he stopped.
"Emperor Lin Bai."
Yi Jinyi smiled and bowed.
The rickety old man said to Yi Gu and Yi Jinse: "Emperor Lin Bai has come all the way to discuss important matters with you."
"Then you should discuss it carefully with Emperor Lin Bai and see what he wants to do!"
After saying this, the rickety old man did not leave, but sat next to him in the pavilion.
Yi Gu asked Lin Bai and the others to sit down. He also sat opposite Lin Bai and asked with a smile:
"Brother Lin, what's the matter with coming here this time?"
Lin Bai looked at Yi Gu's appearance and said with a smile: "You are really becoming more and more like a overlord now."
Yi Gu shook his head and said: "What kind of overlord? The current Qiye Shenzong just wants to live in peace and harmony."
"By the way, I would also like to congratulate Brother Lin for winning the competition between the geniuses from the Eastern Region and the Northern Region."
"I have seen the photos of that battle. It was indeed a shocking battle."
"This battle will definitely be recorded in the history of the demon world."
Lin Bai shook his head, brought the topic back to the topic, and said:
"This time I came to the Seven Nights Divine Sect because I wanted to talk to the senior officials of the Seven Nights Divine Sect about the affairs of this territory!"
"You also know... the matters in the Eastern Region and the Northern Region are over for the time being. I returned to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect just for this matter."
"I came to Qiye Shenzong this time for this very reason!"
Hearing this, the rickety old man and the eldest sister Yi Jinyi both cheered up. Obviously, they knew very well that Lin Bai was here on behalf of the Seven Nights Sect.
Yi Jinyi smiled gently and said: "Emperor Lin Bai, since we have to talk about business, before that, we must first determine in what capacity you are here?"
"The last time you came to Baima City, you came to visit as a friend of Yi Gu."
"Then this time..."
Lin Bai took a deep breath and said solemnly: "As the contemporary emperor of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, I am here to visit and discuss with you."
After hearing that they were about to talk business, Yi Gu gradually became less talkative, with Yi Jinyi taking the lead throughout the whole process.
Yi Jinyi smiled and said: "Since Brother Lin comes as the emperor's son of the Demon Palace, then what he said represents the Demon Palace."
Lin Bai nodded and said, "Miss Yi Jinyi can understand this."
The smile on Yi Jinyi's face gradually solidified, and he sighed helplessly:
"Since Emperor Lin Bai has arrived, do you think the Demon Palace already has a way to deal with us?"
"So...how does the Demon Palace plan to deal with our Seven Nights Sect?"
