Due to Lin Bai's special relationship with Nie Shang and Meng Qinxian, this secret "negotiation" went extremely smoothly.
At the same time, Nie Shang and Meng Qinxian also felt that there was no need to keep hiding these things from Lin Bai. After all, after the wedding, even if Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect did not announce their thoughts to the public, all the warriors in the demon world would be able to guess it.
So it shouldn't matter at all whether it's kept confidential or not.
On the contrary, if you say it openly, you may be able to get the most beneficial value in exchange.
After listening to Nie Shang and Meng Qinxian telling Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect their thoughts, the two of them obviously also looked at Lin Bai, as if they were also waiting for Lin Bai to tell him about Jiuyou Demon Palace.
"Oh."
Lin Bai took a sip from the wine glass and slowly said:
"You should also know that Jiuyou Demon Palace has been preparing hard for tens of thousands of years to rebuild the mountain gate."
"They won't stop."
After hearing this, Nie Shang picked up the topic and continued:
"If the Nine Nether Demon Palace is just to rebuild the mountain gate, then your goal has been accomplished."
"As long as the Jiuyou Demon Palace is willing to stop, both the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect are willing to recognize the status of the Jiuyou Demon Palace in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm."
"And recognize the territory now occupied by the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
Lin Bai shook his head and glanced at Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang one after another. He was ready to tell the truth:
"Both the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect know that this is a rare opportunity. The Eastern Region of the Demon Realm is in chaos. The eyes of the Western Region, the Southern Region, and the Northern Region have attracted the attention of Chu State, Wansheng Mountain, and the Qitian Sect."
"This is the best opportunity to seize the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."
"You are all ready. Could it be that the Demon Palace is not ready?"
When he said this, he paused to give Nie Shang and Meng Qinxian time to think and breathe, and then continued:
"For this purpose, the Demon Palace has specially opened two treasures left behind by the Holy Lord 100,000 years ago."
Treasure! Treasure of the Nine Nether Demon Palace!... Hearing these words, Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang couldn't help but widen their eyes with astonishment.
This is the effect Lin Bai wants. Only by telling some truth and increasing the bargaining chip in the hands of Jiuyou Demon Palace can the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect be afraid.
Blindly showing weakness and blindly hiding strength will only make others think that Jiuyou Demon Palace is weak and promising.
Only at the right time and on the right occasion can you show some depth and strength to truly intimidate the enemy.
Lin Bai waited until the expressions on Nie Shang and Meng Qinxian's faces softened slightly, then said slowly:
"You should also know very well what the treasures left behind in the Nine Nether Demon Palace represent?"
"The former Qiye Shen Sect and Qitian Sect were only the top sects in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm. They were not even close to the top sects."
"But after they destroyed the Nine Nether Demon Palace a hundred thousand years ago, they reaped huge benefits. Each of them obtained a treasure from the Nine Nether Demon Palace, which made them a powerful force!"
"One treasure can bring a top sect to the level of peak power, and now two magic palaces have been opened!"
The treasures of the Nine Nether Demon Palace are not only widely spread in the demon world, but also have great prestige in all the heavens and worlds.
Especially when the Qitian Sect and the Qiye Shen Sect obtained one of the treasures, they became powerful forces, and it also greatly publicized the secrets of the Jiuyou Demon Palace's treasures.
Lin Bai told this matter to tell Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect that not only were they preparing, Jiuyou Demon Palace was also prepared.
In fact, once the "negotiation" reaches this point, it can basically be declared over.
Because Lin Bai, Meng Qinxian Nie Shang and others all achieved their goals and knew each other's and the sect's thoughts.
Lin Bai learned that the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect were preparing to seize the territory of the Seven Nights Sect and had already started taking action. He could no longer persuade them to turn back.
Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang took advantage of this opportunity to inquire about the attitude and background of Jiuyou Demon Palace.
Lin Bai told them the truth, which shocked them and made them a little frightened.
Lin Bai picked up the wine glass and said with a wry smile: "Come on, Brother Nie, Brother Meng, drink this glass, maybe we will meet again in the future, it will be on the battlefield."
When Nie Shang and Meng Qinxian heard this, their expressions suddenly became dull. Their expressions were ugly and they raised their glasses and drank with Lin Bai.
After finishing the cup, Nie Shang frowned, squinted his eyes, and said in a contemplative manner:
"Perhaps we can find another way to end this matter without going to war."
Nie Shang drank several glasses of strong wine without hesitation, and the alcohol seemed to be getting to his head. He laughed loudly and said:
"How?"
"Should we follow the example of the Northern Territory and the Eastern Territory and hold a competition between geniuses?"
"Brother Nie, let me tell you the truth, I am no match for Brother Lin."
Meng Qinxian grinned, showing two rows of big white teeth. At the same time, he also said to Lin Bai:
"Brother Lin, it's not that I have to be your enemy, but the sect has already made a decision, and I can't oppose it."
"Besides, as the Holy Son of Fantian Sect, I also believe that this is a rare opportunity for Fantian Sect, and I will give it a try no matter what."
He suddenly remembered something, his smile became even stronger, he poured a glass of wine for Lin Bai and said:
"If we meet on the battlefield in the future, if I am not Brother Lin's opponent and unfortunately I am defeated by Brother Lin, please be kind to Brother Lin!"
He said these words half jokingly and half sincerely. Lin Bai also smiled and nodded:
"Then if I unfortunately fall into the hands of the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect, I also ask Brother Nie and Brother Meng to show mercy."
"That's nature, that's nature! Hahaha."
Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang each picked up their wine glasses and drank with Lin Bai.
By now, Nie Shang also knew that it was useless to talk more, and this war seemed to be inevitable.
However, Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect still have advantages.
And their only advantage is... the reconstruction of the mountain gate of the Nine Nether Demon Palace has made the warriors in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm uneasy and extremely resistant.
There are many forces within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect that are targeting the Nine Nether Demon Palace, including Fantian Sect, Worshiping Heaven Sect, Demon Slayer Alliance, Phoenix Valley, and Chunyang Sect.
It is no exaggeration to say that... the Nine Nether Demon Palace is now an enemy of the top forces in the entire Seven Nights Divine Sect territory.
The three of them chatted until late at night, when the bright moon gradually set in the west, and then the banquet ended.
Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang both had to prepare in advance. After all, it was already past midnight and today was their respective big day!
When Lin Bai returned to his residence in the Nine Nether Demon Palace, the sky was already turning white. He didn't bother to rest, and after using his cultivation to dispel the alcoholism, he directly found the Second Son of God.
"I want to see Elder Duanmu Pengsheng!"
Without saying a word, the Second Son of God took Lin Bai to the remote courtyard, opened the door again, and let Lin Bai enter the space secret treasure of Elder Duanmu Pengsheng.
Elder Duanmu Pengsheng was still hovering and sitting cross-legged in mid-air in Senluo Palace. It wasn't until Lin Bai came up to him that he asked:
"Have you already met Nie Shang and Meng Qinxian?"
"Then you should already know the thoughts of Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect, right?"
Lin Bai took two deep breaths and said with a helpless expression: "I can't persuade you to come back. It seems that war is inevitable!"
War is inevitable!
This sentence already explains the attitude of Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect. They want to join forces to fight for the territory of Qiye Shenzong.
At present, after the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect join forces, the first targets to be eliminated are definitely not the Chunyang Sect and the Phoenix Valley, nor the Demon Slayer Alliance and the Qinglian Sect.
On the contrary, Chunyang Sect, Phoenix Valley, Demon Slayer Alliance and Qinglian Sect can all be attracted by Fantian Sect as allies.
Their first target after joining forces must be the Nine Nether Demon Palace, which is despised by everyone in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm!
The Nine Nether Demon Palace is the most mysterious, the most powerful, and the sect that has the most enemies. Dealing with them will get the support and response of many people.
Saint Elder Duan Mupeng's expression did not change much after hearing this, as if everything was expected.
"Understood."
"Then what does the emperor want to do next?"
After Lin Bai thought for a while, he expressed his inner thoughts:
"The Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect have already embarked on this path, so it is absolutely impossible to turn back easily."
"I have already judged that 'war is inevitable', so I don't want to waste any more words."
"But in the secret conversation just now, I revealed to Nie Shang and Meng Qinxian that the Nine Nether Demon Palace has opened two treasures to win the final victory in this war!"
