While listening to Li Guxian's words, Lin Bai was also thinking.
As Li Guxian said, Lin Bai has no way to retreat since today.
Even if he wanted to retreat, countless people would support his back and force him to move forward.
The first is the Holy Son of Wansheng Mountain, Wang Zhengyang and Chu Junyou, the Crown Prince of Chu. The reason why they are willing to support the comeback of Jiuyou Demon Palace, putting aside other great magical warriors, is that a large part of the reason is that Lin Bai is currently the emperor's son of Jiuyou Demon Palace.
They once clearly told Lin Bai that since the comeback of Jiuyou Demon Palace could no longer be stopped, they hoped that someone who made them familiar with them and knew their nature and background would become the future ruler of Jiuyou Demon Palace.
Because they know Lin Bai's roots and know that after Lin Bai becomes the future palace lord of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, they will definitely not do anything randomly.
Even if Lin Bai becomes the ruler of the Demon Palace and acts indiscriminately, he can still justify his advice based on their relationship with Lin Bai.
If the "First Son of God" is made the ruler of the Demon Palace, then the problem will be too big.
Although Wansheng Mountain and Chu State don’t know much about the “No. 1 Son of God”, they can also see that this person is the kind of person who doesn’t have a brain to do things. Once he becomes the ruler of the Demon Palace, he doesn’t know how much trouble he will cause.
The second is the Qiye Divine Sect and Phoenix Valley within the territory of the Qiye Divine Sect. These two major sects hope that Lin Bai will become the ruler of the Demon Palace. After all, this is directly related to their life and death.
Lin Bai once made a promise to them. As long as he was still in the Demon Palace for one day, the promise he made would not betray his oath.
Many forces bet on Lin Bai. Even at this moment, Lin Bai all withdrew from the Jiuyou Demon Palace, Wansheng Mountain, Chu State, Qiye Divine Sect, and Phoenix Valley will definitely jump out to object immediately.
It may even cause chain reactions and lead to immeasurable disasters.
The palace master of Jiuyou Demon Palace chuckled and said, "The Goddess Li Guxian is right. The emperor's son is currently infected with too many causes and effects, and many people will not want to see the emperor's son withdraw from the Demon Palace."
"But the emperor doesn't have to be so psychologically stressed."
"I can hold on for a while now, and at least a thousand years, there will be no big problems with my life span."
"Of course, it is not ruled out that I think the Emperor's son is more suitable to be the ruler of the Demon Palace, and he actively proposes to abdicate."
Lin Bai smiled and nodded. The Lord of the Jiuyou Demon Palace knew very well that Lin Bai did not want to stay in the Demon Realm.
Whether it is staying in Chu State or Jiuyou Demon Palace, this is not Lin Bai’s real idea.
Therefore, the Lord of the Jiuyou Demon Palace clearly informed Lin Bai that even if one day he wanted to leave the Demon Realm for a period of time, it would be OK for a thousand years.
The palace master of Jiuyou Demon Palace nodded repeatedly and said, "Since that's the case, the matter of Chunyang Sect is over. The emperor's son and the goddess Li Guxian will return to the headquarters of the Demon Palace in Huanglong Qianzhou first."
"Elder Luo Yuanjing Holy is scheduled for the 'name renaming ceremony' as soon as possible and announce it to the world as soon as possible."
"We don't have much time, and we will try to implement everything within half a year."
After arranging the name change of the "Seven Nights Divine Sect Territory", Jiuyou Demon Palace continued:
"After the matter between Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley is over, Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect will inevitably take action."
"Before returning to the headquarters of the Demon Palace, Goddess Li Guxian must arrange front-line matters to prevent the Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect from suddenly attacking the Jiuyou Demon Palace."
Li Guxian nodded slightly and said:
"I have arranged the troops of Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect to come to the rear of the territory of the Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect."
"The army of Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley need not take action. Just stationed on their borders is enough to put them under great pressure."
"Once Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley are going to take action against our Jiuyou Demon Palace, the army of Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley can break through their mountain gates within one month."
"If I were the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect, I would definitely not be able to do such a brainless thing."
The Holy Elder Luo Yuanjing suddenly laughed and reminded Li Guxian:
"What if there are no brains among the people in power in their sect?"
"We have to be careful, too."
"There is another thing. The Demon Elimination Alliance has always been doing things in the territory of the Qiye Divine Sect."
"Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect are likely to win over the Demon Elimination Alliance to fight against the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"We have to be careful of this."
Li Guxian was silent when she heard this. Obviously, she was also thinking about the matter of the Demon Elimination Alliance.
The palace master of the Jiuyou Demon Palace said loudly: "The Demon Elimination Alliance is just a group of mobs, and it is harmless."
"As long as you check and balance the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect, the Demon Elimination Alliance will naturally be defeated without any attack."
Li Guxian nodded and said:
"As the Palace Master said, our current focus should be on the Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect."
"But these two major sects did not take the initiative to attack, so it was difficult for us to take the initiative to launch a battle of destruction against them."
"I hope that Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect can return to the wrong path, so that we will put in a lot of effort."
The high-level meeting of the Jiuyou Demon Palace was soon over, and news from all parties began to summarize. The situation in the territory of the Qiye Divine Sect is gradually becoming clearer.
After the meeting, Lin Bai and Li Guxian walked out of the Yunzhou secret room and returned to the plywood.
It is very troublesome for the army of millions of people in Jiuyou Demon Palace to move on a large scale.
Even though the teleportation array was prepared along the way, it was still a waste of time to send all the troops back to Huanglong Qianzhou.
Lin Bai asked: "Will the army of Jiuyou Demon Palace return to Huanglong Qianzhou?"
Li Guxian shook her head and said, "No."
"Senior Brother Emperor, which dynasty army have you seen that put millions of troops by your side?"
"Even within the imperial capital of Chu, there are only nine armies of Zhaoxing Department and the imperial guards."
"The army of the eight kings of Chu State without transfer orders cannot enter the territory of the 'Eighteen Imperial Powers' without permission."
"This is to ensure that these troops stationed near the imperial capital do not suddenly rebel."
She smiled and looked at the army of Jiuyou Demon Palace that was slowly moving forward, and laughed in a low voice:
"The same is true for the army of Jiuyou Demon Palace. It will not be directly dispatched back to Huanglong Qianzhou."
"They will go to other territory to scatter and station."
"But at present, they need to go to the borders occupied by the Jiuyou Demon Palace to be responsible for resisting the Fentian Sect and the Baitian Sect."
"In addition... Yongyeguan will also start changing defenses."
Lin Bai is naturally not as proficient and experienced as Li Guxian when it comes to placing troops.
However, Lin Bai was still curious and asked, "Has the Jiuyou Demon Palace also stationed troops in Yongye Pass?"
Li Guxian nodded and said, "When the Emperor's Senior Brother was in Yongye Pass before, he should have seen that it was the 'Jiuyou Guard' who was stationed in Yongye Pass."
"But later, after the war between Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley broke out, I dispatched the 'Jiuyou Guard' back and adapted it into the 'Jiuyou Army'."
"The army currently guarding Yongye Pass is the 'Tiangong Guard', one of the eighteen guards under the Jiuyou Demon Palace."
"They were originally responsible for guarding the mountain gate area, but the Lord of the Demon Palace and the Holy Elder have appeared in the headquarters of the Demon Palace."
"There are two warriors in the realm of great supernatural powers that appeared publicly, and the other sluts naturally dare not act rashly, so I dispatched the Heavenly Palace Guard to Yongye Pass!"
Even though Lin Bai is not very clear about the overall strength of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, he also knows the name of "Eighteen Guards of the Demon Palace".
The "Eighteen Guards of the Demon Palace" are the most powerful armed forces within the Jiuyou Demon Palace. They are responsible for pursuing traitors, guarding the frontiers, protecting the core senior leaders inside and outside the sect, etc.
When necessary, they will immediately form an army and be responsible for fighting outside!
Li Guxian smiled and said to Lin Bai: "By the way, among the 'Eighteen Guards of the Demon Palace', there is also a guard specifically belonging to the Emperor's Senior Brother, which is specifically designed to protect the safety of the Emperor's Senior Brother."
"Although they are not many, each of them is a top expert."
"This guard is the 'Dragon Guard'."
Lin Bai thought about it carefully. Many times when the surrounding space broke, he could capture the figures of many high-level warriors standing in the void.
I think this group of people is the so-called "Dragon Guard", which is specially designed to protect Lin Bai's safety.
Li Guxian glanced at Mr. Wen and Daozi Yu You, and chuckled: "At present, Mr. Wen should be the leader of the Dragon Guard."
"Daozi Yu You should also be considered a member of the Dragon Guard."
Old Wen smiled and nodded when he heard this, and said nothing.
Daozi Yu You also agreed upon hearing this.
Lin Bai smiled bitterly and said, "How come the 'Dragon Guard' is not much different from the numbers of some Chu troops."
Li Guxian smiled and said, "This is normal. When the Nine Nether Demon Palace crossed the eastern realm of the Demon Realm by 100,000 years ago, what did the Emperor's Senior Brother think he was relying on?"
"Are there many powerful people in the Jiuyou Demon Palace?"
"Or it is the Jiuyou Demon Palace well-trained?"
"Actually, it's not... The fundamental reason why the Jiuyou Demon Palace really rose 100,000 years ago was because of the construction of a system."
"This system is not nepotism, not nepotism, not blindly relying on talent and martial spirit to judge the level of a warrior."
"After this system was formulated, many warriors with low talent were highly valued in front of the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord promised them to give them great gifts."
"As long as this happens, the Demon Palace will naturally become stronger, because it allows many lower-level warriors to see hope of being promoted to higher-level warriors."
"Although the Demon Palace failed 100,000 years ago, many systems left by the Demon Palace have been improved and inherited."
Li Guxian paused at this point and said to Lin Bai:
"For example, the 'Thousand State System' formulated by the Demon Palace divides one thousand states into eleven sects or families to manage."
"And the Demon Palace only needs to manage this family or sect."
"This system is still inherited by the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm until now."
"In addition to the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, the Southern Region, the Western Region, and the Northern Region have no such system at all. Their sense of boundaries is very blurred, so it is easy to have some quarrels."
Li Guxian's remarks made Lin Bai nod continuously. Many things left over from the Jiuyou Demon Palace 100,000 years ago are indeed still used by the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm.
This seems to be the difference between "nepotism" and "grasp people with merit".
Even if the Chu State today has the shadow of the Jiuyou Demon Palace 100,000 years ago, it is just that the Chu State is not as good as the Jiuyou Demon Palace.
The Chu State is still the royal family. Although there are six divisions in the court, it actually does not have any real power.
However, the "Thousand State System" formulated by the Jiuyou Demon Palace 100,000 years ago is indeed very convenient for the key areas of the prosperous power.
Especially with such a vast territory in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, it is not that easy to take over a territory.
...
After leaving the territory of Chunyang Sect, Li Guxian ordered the army to station in his designated territory.
The more than 5 million troops were separated, divided into five armies, and headed towards different territories.
Lin Bai and Li Guxian returned to Huanglong Qianzhou with some personal guards, as well as the supreme Taoist fruit of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, and the Chaos Taoist fruit realm warriors.
After entering the Qianzhou of Huanglong, Lin Bai and Li Guxian's emotions were slightly relaxed, after all, this place was already within the area of the Jiuyou Demon Palace.
Li Guxian asked with a smile: "Senior Brother Emperor, if nothing unexpected happens next, we will stay in Huanglong Qianzhou until the celebration of the Jiuyou Demon Palace arrives."
"Does Senior Brother Emperor have any other arrangements?"
Lin Bai shook his head and said, "I have been practicing with the 'Da Luo Golden Pill' during this period. I feel like I am going to break through the mid-stage of the Da Luo Dao Fruit Realm."
"I plan to practice hard for a few days after returning to the sect, and strive to break through the level of cultivation as soon as possible."
"Apart from that, there seems to be no other arrangements."
For a long time, Lin Bai used the "Da Luo Jindan" day and night, and used the refining elixirs with one mind and two minds.
Finally, a few days ago, his cultivation level gradually increased to the peak of the Daluo Dao Fruit Realm, only one step away from the middle level.
Since the matter between Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley has come to an end, Lin Bai can cultivate in the Demon Palace for two days next.
Li Guxian chuckled and said, "It's good that this is the case. I'm running around during this period, and the senior brother of the Emperor's son is still tired."
Just then.
Suddenly, in the air where he headed, a warrior fled in a hurry, and a group of warriors came after him.
"stop!"
"You will definitely die today!"
Lin Bai and Li Guxian both heard the movement and couldn't help but look up.
Li Guxian whispered to Lin Bai: "It's the person from the Demon Palace."
Mr. Wen also added: "The people who escaped and those who chased are all warriors from the Demon Palace."
Through their clothes, it was not difficult for Lin Bai to tell that they were all warriors from the Demon Palace.
But Lin Bai is a little confused. Since he is a warrior in the Demon Palace, why do he kill each other?
"Stop them and ask what's going on?"
Lin Baihai issued an order, and Daozi Yu You took the order and flew out, stepped forward and stopped the young man who fled in a hurry.
"stop!"
Daozi Yu You had a pretty face, stopped the warrior who had fled in panic and asked coldly:
"Who are you? Why are they chasing you?"
The warrior was obviously frightened, and the moment he was stopped by Daozi Yu You, he made a counterattack gesture.
But he quickly calmed down and asked, "Who is Senior? He was also sent by the First Son of God to kill me?"
