After banning three Imperial Guard warriors, Li Guxian ordered Yun Zhou to set off again.
Although it has entered the territory of Huanglong Qianzhou, there are more than a thousand major states here, and it will take some time to reach the headquarters of Jiuyou Demon Palace.
Under Wen Lao Yunzhou's exaggerated speed, Lin Bai and others only spent about half a day to cross hundreds of states and return to the headquarters of the Jiuyou Demon Palace.
Lin Bai and Li Guxian both bowed to the group of high-level warriors at the Supreme Dao Fruit Realm and Chaos Dao Fruit Realm behind them:
"Thank you for your careful protection and hard work along the way. My senior brother and I have remembered your contributions in the book and will be reported to the sect at that time."
"I have returned to the headquarters of Jiuyou Demon Palace. Seniors can go back and rest well."
Many high-level warriors bowed their hands and thanked Lin Bai and Li Guxian and scattered from the cloud boat.
It has to be said that even Lin Bai admires these high-level warriors. Although Li Guxian and Lin Bai's cultivation level are far lower than theirs, they are willing to surrender and respect Lin Bai and Li Guxian.
This may be the best manifestation of the so-called distinction between high and low in the Jiuyou Demon Palace. Even if you are a warrior in the Supreme Dao Fruit realm, you should not be too rash in front of the emperor's son of the Demon Palace.
Of course, it is also because the strength shown by Lin Bai and Li Guxian in the past period of time has indeed been recognized by them, and they are willing to obey the orders of Li Guxian and Lin Bai.
After many high-level warriors of the Nine Nether Demon Palace left, only Lin Bai, Li Guxian, Wen Lao, Daozi Yu You, and the warrior named Zhang Sheng were left on the Yunzhou.
On the way back, Li Guxian and Lin Bai had already figured out the situation of Zhang Sheng and their family.
According to Zhang Sheng, it was because the Zhang family expressed their attitude in the elders' council that they were willing to support Emperor Lin Bai, and thus they were frantically revenge by the First Son of God.
Since Lin Bai and Li Guxian were busy fighting outside for a long time, the first son of god mainly stayed in the Demon Palace.
After all, the Demon Palace has just rebuilt the mountain gate, and there are still warriors in charge of the matter.
The first son of god is mainly responsible for the placement and defense of warriors inside and outside the Demon Palace, so the "immune guards" belonging to the "Eighteen Guards of the Demon Palace" became the jurisdiction of the First Son of god.
The Imperial Guard is one of the "Eighteen Guards of the Demon Palace", and the safety of the Huanglong Qianzhou belongs to the Imperial Guard Warriors.
Therefore, the power of the imperial guards is very great.
Currently, the first son of the God of the Imperial Guards, he uses the power of the Imperial Guards and the warriors to eliminate dissidents in the Demon Palace.
Basically, except for the top families that are attached to the nine temples, all the smaller families have been recaptured by the First Son of God and become lackeys under the First Son of God.
Including the warriors who had pursued Zhang Sheng before, they were all loyal to the First Son of God family.
Simply put...the elders who are participating in the Demon Palace Elders' Council, especially those of small and medium-sized families, are basically all on the side of the First Son of God.
Li Guxian said to Lin Bai: "As for Zhang Sheng and their family affairs, the senior brother of the Emperor doesn't have to worry too much, so the younger sister will naturally handle it."
"After the processing is done, my younger sister will come to the imperial palace to give detailed rewards to the senior brother of the emperor!"
Lin Bai nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll trouble Goddess Li Guxian, I'll go back to the imperial palace to rest first."
Lin Bai is indeed not as proficient as Li Guxian for this conspiracy and tricks to play with people's hearts. Since Li Guxian is willing to take the initiative to help, Lin Bai is happy to see it.
After Li Guxian flew out of the Yunzhou, he headed to the Ninth Temple; Mr. Wen drove the Yunzhou to the Imperial Palace.
Within the mountain gate of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, ten hanging islands are particularly eye-catching, which are the residences of the Emperor's Son and the Ten Sons of God.
Lin Bai's imperial palace was suspended on the other nine islands.
The headquarters of the Jiuyou Demon Palace occupies a complete mountain range, which is extremely large, enough to accommodate millions of warriors.
Lin Bai stood on the cloud boat and looked down at the warriors moving in the mountains below, seeing that there were more warriors than they had seen before.
"It seems that the Demon Palace has recruited new disciples from the outside?"
Lin Bai could immediately see that the Demon Palace had recruited the first batch of disciples to fill the number of disciples of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
"Yes."
After Li Guxian left, the person who was responsible for standing beside Lin Bai to convey various messages became Mr. Wen.
Mr. Wen smiled and replied: "When I was in Jiuyou City, there were more than 50,000 disciples in the Demon Palace. It can be said that the five million residents of Jiuyou City were all disciples of Jiuyou Demon Palace."
"After the reconstruction of the mountain gate in Qianzhou, Huanglong, we recycled the branch established in the territory of Qiye Shenzong, which is the 'Kurhai Branch'."
"The Kuhai Branch originally had nearly one million disciples, so naturally he returned to the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"And during this period, many small and medium-sized families in Huanglong Qianzhou were willing to send their disciples to Jiuyou Demon for training."
"The same is true for small and medium-sized families and sects in other states, and the most outstanding genius in the sect is sent to the Jiuyou Demon Palace."
"This has caused the number of disciples of the Jiuyou Demon Palace to suddenly increase, and it is almost nearly 10 million now."
Lin Bai suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly.
After thinking about it, Mr. Wen reminded Lin Bai: "The Emperor's Son, in fact, the Demon Palace did this not just to expand the number of disciples."
"Whether it is Huanglong Qianzhou or other small and medium-sized families, they will send the geniuses in the sect to the Jiuyou Demon Palace for further study, and their family will send their direct descendants to the Demon Palace for practice."
"While the Demon Palace is cultivating geniuses for them, it is also using the geniuses of their sect to check and balance them!"
Checks and balances?... Through Mr. Wen's explanation, Lin Bai suddenly felt a sudden realization.
The Huanglong Qianzhou owned by the Jiuyou Demon Palace and the state boundaries occupied by the Jiuyou Demon Palace, those small and medium-sized families and sects sent the Tianjiao and the direct clan members to the Jiuyou Demon Palace for practice.
That's because the Nine Nether Demon Palace must have a lot of resources and materials, which can greatly increase their cultivation.
Jiuyou Demon Palace also took advantage of this opportunity to firmly control the geniuses of these sects and the direct lineages of the family.
If their sects and families rebel, or they have made ill-intentioned plans against the Jiuyou Demon Palace, then the Jiuyou Demon Palace will immediately massacre their disciples who are practicing in the Demon Palace.
"This is equivalent to a 'proton'."
"All large, medium and small families and sects have sent all the direct descendants of their families and the geniuses of their sects to the Demon Palace."
"What is this not a 'proton'?"
After Lin Bai thought it through, he asked with a smile: "Will those families and sects agree to do this?"
Mr. Wen immediately smiled and replied, "How could he disagree? They couldn't ask for it?"
"Even the geniuses within their family and sects are fighting for these places."
Ah!?...Lin Bai was a little confused. He was willing to beat him up even though he knew he was going to be a "proton"?
Mr. Wen knew that Lin Bai had misunderstood, so he immediately explained:
"The Emperor's Son, on the surface, you are indeed here to be a 'proton'."
"But our Demon Palace will definitely not claim to let their family and sect's direct descendants be the host."
"We will tell them: The Demon Palace has just rebuilt the mountain gate and is in need of fresh blood. The Demon Palace is willing to use a lot of resources to cultivate disciples, so that all the genius warriors in the sects and families can go to the Demon Palace to practice."
"They only know that they are here to share resources and are here to be disciples of the Demon Palace. How could they think they are here to be the proton?"
Lin Bai suddenly realized and nodded with a bitter smile.
Mr. Wen continued:
"In fact, it's not just Jiuyou Demon Palace that uses this method to check and balance the small and medium-sized family forces under its command."
"The Chongyang Sect, Chu State, Wansheng Mountain and other Dingsheng Sects and top sects also use the same method."
"They will regularly give some 'disciple quotas' for small and medium-sized families and sects, and let these small and medium-sized families and sects hold a competition, select the most outstanding top three or top ten, and go to top sects or Dingsheng sects to practice."
"It is said that I went to practice, but in fact I am going to be a proton."
Hearing Mr. Wen's words, Lin Bai couldn't help but immediately remembered himself. He had participated in similar warrior competitions many times in the Mangu Continent and after coming to the Demon Realm.
"It turns out... the quota issued by these sects is to select protons."
"We were still happy to participate, and we were beaten to death, and we insisted on joining the other party's sect!"
"I finally understand."
"The world is dangerous!"
Take Jiuyou Demon Palace as an example. They distributed past "disciple quotas" to each small and medium-sized family. Those small and medium-sized families thought they were valued by Jiuyou Demon Palace, so they were willing to select several suitable geniuses to practice.
They thought they had found a big advantage, but it was difficult for them to know that this was actually the method of checking and balanced by the Jiuyou Demon Palace.
"Power tricks are really terrible."
Lin Bai shook his head. Yun Zhou had already arrived at the bottom of the Imperial Palace. Old Wen began to control Yun Zhou to ascend to the suspended island of the Imperial Palace.
...
Since there is a forbidden air magic array in the headquarters of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, no warrior can control the air without hesitation.
All flying magic weapons dock outside the mountain gate and will not enter the mountain gate.
So when they saw a cloud boat slowly speeding past the mountains, many warriors from the Jiuyou Demon Palace inside and outside the mountain gate raised their heads and looked at the cloud boat and whispered:
"Yunzhou Magical Weapon?"
"How could there be a magic weapon in Yunzhou entering the mountain gate?"
"It seems that this must be a magic weapon for a high-level warrior, otherwise it would never be possible to enter the mountain gate."
Yunzhou went forward, and warriors followed him with their eyes. Until they saw Yunzhou coming to the bottom of the Imperial Palace Island and began to climb up, these warriors then widened their eyes and exclaimed:
"It's the Emperor's son's Yun Zhou!"
"Is the emperor back?"
Many warriors gathered, gathered their eyes and looked at the island of the Imperial Palace, and saw several figures of warriors walking down from the cloud boat.
The first thing to do was a young man in a white robe, followed by a beautiful woman in a black dress and an old servant.
After approaching the imperial palace, the huge cloud boat was also put into the long sleeves by the old servant and disappeared.
The next moment, the magic circles on the island of the Imperial Palace were all running, and the entire Imperial Palace was shining brightly, as if welcoming his master back.
After nightfall, the Imperial Palace Island hanging in the air emitted a faint light, as if it were stars falling from the sky. As long as all the warriors looked up, they could tell that they could see the Imperial Palace no matter where they were in the Jiuyou Demon Palace Mountains.
Similarly, as long as Lin Bai in the Imperial Palace bows his head, he can take the entire mountain range of the Jiuyou Demon Palace into his eyes.
After all, the imperial palace is located at a very high position, between heaven and earth. When you look up, you can pick the stars and look down at the sentient beings on the earth.
...
After returning to the imperial palace, Mr. Wen and Daozi Yu You began to inspect the magic arrays of the entire imperial palace and quickly cleaned up dust everywhere.
After all, it has been a while since I left the Jiuyou Demon Palace. Except for Lin Bai and Wen Lao Daozi Yu You, no one else dared to come to the imperial palace without permission.
Fortunately, the imperial palace has the blessing of the magic circle, so it will not be covered with dust, but it also needs to be cleaned up briefly.
These things were naturally left to Mr. Wen and Yu You, Daozi.
Lin Bai took out a pot of wine from the storage bag, sat on the edge of the Imperial Palace Island, and looked at the setting sun in the sky as blood.
Until the sun set, Lin Bai looked at the mountains where the Jiuyou Demon Palace was located, and saw bright lights, countless luminous plants and ores illuminating the entire mountain range.
It is bright and the place where it is hazy, obviously when it is hazy, there are guidance from the masters of architecture when creating the layout of this mountain range, making the entire mountain look particularly pleasing to the eye.
"This really tastes like a Dingsheng Sect."
Lin Bai glanced at him and couldn't help laughing.
Although he had not been to many mountain gates of Dingsheng Sect, he had also been to the imperial palace of Chu.
As the imperial city where the power of Chu is concentrated, even if Lin Bai walks in, he will be shocked to his heart.
The overall mountains of Jiuyou Demon Palace are in full swing, surrounded by green waters and green mountains, and the ultimate landscape.
The ancient roads in the mountains are winding and secluded, covering an active and wide area, and it doesn’t seem crowded if you live in millions of people.
It is similar to other sects, and the Jiuyou Demon Palace also divides the outer gate area, inner gate area, core area, etc. within the mountains.
The outer disciples live in the outer sect area, the inner disciples live in the inner sect area, and the core disciples live in the core area.
The outer door area, the inner door area, and the core area are progressing layer by layer with the outer edge of the mountain range, the middle section of the mountain range, and the depths of the mountain range.
In the core area, there are seventy-two majestic peaks that penetrate directly into the sky. Where is the most core area of the Jiuyou Demon Palace?
The place where the elders' council is held every once in a while is the "Wentian Peak", one of the seventy-two peaks.
The other peaks of the Seventy-Two Peaks also have their own uses, and none of them is in a vacant state.
Lin Bai sat on the island of the Imperial Palace and drank a pot of wine. After a while of night wind, he turned around and returned to the Imperial Palace to rest:
"I'm going to stay in seclusion for a while. If there is nothing big, don't let anyone disturb me."
Lin Bai gave instructions to Mr. Wen and Yu You, and then went straight to the residence to start retreating.
