Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

"Brother Lin, it's too dangerous for you to do this!"

After Li Guxian and the warriors from the Nine Nether Demon Palace left, Nie Shang stared at Lin Bai with a gloomy face and said.

"You are completely gambling with your own life, you are dancing on the edge of a knife!"

Nie Shang said with a cold expression, "Indeed, you have the Supreme Appearance and are the target of all the major forces in the demon world vying to win over and pursue you, but you also need to know..."

"The supreme form is a double-edged sword."

"Some people want to win you over, and some people want to get rid of you!"

Nie Shang said seriously: "Given your current relationship with the Chu State, your engagement with Princess Shenxian, and your inextricable connections with Princess Chu Tinghan of Prince Liang's Mansion, you can no longer rely on the Emperor of Chu State. The city has escaped.”

"Seeing that other forces are unable to win over you, they will most likely get rid of you before you grow up!"

"You shouldn't be here!"

Hearing Nie Shang's words, Meng Qinxian nodded in agreement.

There will never be a shortage of geniuses in the world of demons. Even geniuses like Lin Bai who have the supreme appearance have not appeared at all in the past years.

But in the end, how many people can reach the top?

Meng Qinxian whispered to Lin Bai, "I heard that in the ancient sect, there are also geniuses with supreme appearance like Brother Lin, but they will never show up in the demon world easily."

"This is because... once they show up, they are likely to become the target of public criticism!"

Meng Qinxian also warned: "Brother Lin, you have been a little too public recently."

The power of Xiaoyaosan gradually dissipated, and Lin Bai also recovered some strength.

The spiritual power flowed throughout his body along the meridians. He tried to use the spiritual power to shake out the dragon-suppressing nail, but in the end it was to no avail.

The dragon-suppressing nail was like a tarsal maggot, stuck firmly in Lin Bai's body.

The spiritual power that had just flowed was instantly shattered and dissipated by the Dragon Suppressing Nail.

Lin Bai lost control of his spiritual power again.

But the power of Xiaoyaosan has also dissipated a lot, and he was able to regain the power of normal speech.

"If I don't come, you will definitely die!"

Lin Bai leaned against the wall and whispered.

He had already thought about it. If he didn't come, Zhao Xingsi and the Forbidden Army would attack Li Guxian's princess palace. When she learned that she was unable to escape, she would kill her and drag Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang went to hell together.

Lin Bai came alone to give Li Guxian a chance to escape.

Only if Li Guxian knew that she still had a chance to escape, she would not choose to die together.

Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang were both stunned when they heard this. They hesitated for a long time and did not say anything.

I would like to ask all the warriors in the world, who is willing to die?

"Brother Meng and Brother Nie, don't worry. I thought Li Guxian was stupid, but in fact I was wrong."

"She is a very smart woman, she knows how to choose!"

Lin Bai couldn't help but laugh.

Li Guxian's behavior in Kezhou was like a weak woman with no brains.

But now after Lin Bai tore through Li Guxian's veil, he discovered that she had a very shrewd mind under the veil.

If that's the case, then things are much simpler.

It is very difficult to find a way out from the hands of a fool or a reckless man.

Because these fools and reckless men think about many things without thinking through their heads, and they will kill Lin Bai in a rage.

But from a smart person, it would be too easy to find a way out of her hands.

Smart people tend to look forward and backward. They euphemistically call it "thorough thinking."

They have detailed plans and think comprehensively in everything they do.

With Li Guxian's intelligence, it was not difficult for her to see that Lin Bai was her only way to survive.

As long as she still wants to live, she will definitely agree to Lin Bai's deal.

"And... Li Guxian is a woman obsessed with status and power."

"It's often this kind of woman who won't give up her life easily."

A sneer gradually appeared at the corner of Lin Bai's mouth, as if he had seen through Li Guxian.

"I really didn't expect...under her veil, there is such a person."

Lin Bai took a deep breath.

I met Li Guxian again today, and after breaking her veil, I didn't expect that she was completely different from before.

~~~

Leave the underground palace.

Mu Cang and Daozi Yao Qian followed Li Guxian back to the study room of the princess's mansion.

Li Guxian sat on the chair, holding her forehead and frowning, with a miserable look on her face.

She didn't speak for a long time. Daozi Yao Qian and Mu Cang looked at each other and gave their own suggestions.

Mu Cang said: "According to the opportunity set by the Demon Palace, we should have publicly executed Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang after the sect leaders arrived in the imperial capital, forcing them to completely break with the Chu State."

"Now Lord Wolf suddenly intervenes and completely messes up all our plans."

"I suggest... that Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang be executed today. If necessary, Lin Bai can be executed directly!"

"If this happens, there will definitely be chaos in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm!"

Hearing this, Li Guxian did not express her position and still closed her eyes and ignored Mu Cang.

Daozi Yao Qian couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

I thought to myself... You Mu Cang will be dead as soon as you are old. You don't have much life anyway.

But we are different.

Li Guxian is the goddess of Jiuyou Demon Palace, and he, Yao Qian, is the Taoist disciple of Jiuyou Demon Palace. Both of them have extremely brilliant futures.

Wouldn't it be a pity to die here?

After thinking for a while, Daozi Yao Qian said, "My Lady Goddess, I think that since the plan has been exposed, we should take a long-term approach."

Mu Cang said coldly: "Daozi, are you afraid?"

Daozi Yao Qian replied coldly: "I'm not afraid, I just don't want to cause unnecessary casualties."

"Even if we kill Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang right now, we still won't be able to achieve the effect we want."

"Besides, Lin Bai has a special status. If he dies, the entire Eastern Demon Realm will be in chaos."

Mu Cang said sarcastically: "Daozi is just afraid of death. Killing Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang now will not achieve the effect we want, but it will still cause shock in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm!"

"As long as the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm is in chaos, we will have a chance!"

Daozi Yao Qian sneered: "That's an opportunity for the Nine Nether Demon Palace, not yours!"

Mu Cang glanced sideways, his eyes were cold, and said: "What do you mean!"

Daozi Yao Qian said: "You know very well what I mean."

"One more thing...Mu Cang, you are just a deacon in the Demon Palace. I warn you to be careful what you say."

"I am the Taoist!"

Taoist Yao Qian glared at Mu Cang and assumed the attitude of a Taoist, forcing Mu Cang to surrender.

"You!" Mu Cang was frustrated again, gritting his teeth but unable to say a word.

Li Guxian finally spoke at this time, and said: "Deacon Mu Cang, I know you are right, but I need to think carefully about this matter to make up for it."

Hearing that his proposal was approved by Li Guxian, Mu Cang showed a smile on his face and said: "The goddess has a great reputation."

Li Guxian said: "Yao Qian Daozi doesn't seem to be satisfied with our decision. You go out first and let me persuade Daozi Yao Qian."

"Yes." Mu Cang nodded in agreement and immediately exited the study.
