Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

"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.

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, with a naive smile on his wrinkled face.

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 what Daozi Yuyou is more worried about.

The First Son of God disappointingly lost the competition between the geniuses from the Eastern Region and the Northern Region. His popularity and prestige in the Nine Nether Demon Palace were greatly reduced.

At this moment, the first thing he has 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 stays in the Demon Palace, by defeating the Northern Territory warriors and gaining the glory of the genius competition, he will 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 follow-up 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."

"For example, 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 have 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, so Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia rushed to the doctor to help Lin Bai become the emperor's son.

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 worried about 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 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 friendship with Yi Gu, the leader of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, Meng Qinxian, the saint son of Fantian Sect, and Nie Shang, the saint son of 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, 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 to meet the senior officials of Qiye Shen Sect before going 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, Wen Lao and others' cloud boats were hiding their whereabouts along the way to avoid being discovered by the Demon-Slaying Alliance, they wasted a lot of time to reach Baima City.

Baima City was originally located at the border of Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley, a rather awkward boundary.

Originally, this place was a sparsely populated border town, but as the Seven Nights Divine Sect took root here, more and more warriors came, and it gradually developed into a major city on the border.

Lin Bai, Wen Lao, and Daozi Yu You did not enter Baima City with a big fanfare, but disguised themselves as ordinary warriors and walked into the streets of Baima City.

"Robbery! Robbery!!"

"Murder! Murder!"

As soon as they walked out of Baima City, Lin Bai, Wen Lao and others immediately heard bursts of shouting coming from the noisy streets.

And a bloody smell filled the air. They turned their heads and looked at the dark alley not far away. There were several men in black who quickly killed a young man and took away all his belongings.

But the warriors around just took a look and lost their curiosity, as if nothing had happened, and left quickly.

But soon, some warriors wearing the uniforms of the Seven Nights Divine Sect came to the alley to investigate the situation and strictly checked the surrounding criminals.

After Lin Bai glanced, he also retracted his gaze.

Wen Lao said: "The Seven Nights Divine Sect fled here. Although there are many warriors to maintain order, more and more warriors have poured into Baima City, resulting in a mixed crowd and difficult to manage."

Lin Bai said again: "Especially since the Seven Nights Divine Sect has just experienced a great defeat, people's hearts are being scattered, which is even more difficult to manage."

"Forget it, never mind."

"Go to the City Lord's Mansion to see Yi Gu."

Walking through the noisy and crowded streets of Baima City, Lin Bai, Wen Lao, Daozi Yuyou and others came to the relatively clean and luxurious streets of Baima City.

This place is the City Lord's Mansion of Baima City.

Most of the high-ranking and core members of the Seven Nights Divine Sect live in this neighborhood.

Daozi Yuyou came to the City Lord's Mansion, took a look at the tightly closed City Lord's Mansion, and said:

"Shall I knock on the door?"

"No need."

Lin Bai and Old Wen shook their heads almost at the same time, and looked up at the sky together.

"Someone already knows we are here."

As soon as Lin Bai finished speaking, he saw a hunched figure appearing out of thin air in the sky above the City Lord's Mansion.

The figure was relatively short, with a hunched back, and a strong aura of death all over his body, like a dying person.

"Haha, friends, you've come all the way here, come and have a drink of water."

He smiled and looked at Lin Bai and the other two in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

"That's what I meant!"

Lin Bai smiled and agreed.

The next moment.

Lin Bai, Old Wen, and Daozi Yuyou suddenly disappeared 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 hunchbacked old man was leaning on a cane, smiling at Lin Bai, Old Wen and the other two.

Lin Bai walked over with a smile and entered the pavilion.

The hunchbacked old man with a cane had a slightly stiff smile on his face. He looked at Lin Bai in shock, and then looked at Old Wen.

He intuitively sensed that Old Wen's cultivation strength was far superior to Lin Bai, but it seemed that Lin Bai was the main one among the three.

He couldn't help but guess Lin Bai's identity and background, so he asked with a smile:

"Where are you from? What are you doing in 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 are from the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

"This is the emperor's son of our Nine Nether Demon Palace!"

Hearing this, the hunchbacked old man's eyes quickly filled with a little surprise, and hatred and anger also emerged in the depths of his eyes.

"So... you are the famous King Qin of Chu State and the son of the Demon Palace!"

"Lin Bai?"

Lin Bai bowed and said, "Junior Lin Bai, I pay my respects to you, senior."

"Hmph." The hunchbacked old man snorted coldly, "You are quite polite."

"What are you three doing in Baima City from Jiuyou Demon Palace?"

Lin Bai said, "We are here to discuss important matters, but I wonder if you can make a decision for the Seven Nights Divine Sect?"

The hunchbacked old man was stunned for a moment, and then replied coldly, "Wait, I will let Yi Gu and the others come."

After that, the hunchbacked old man sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, leaning on his cane, without saying a word.

Not long after.

The current leader of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, Yi Gu, walked side by side with a beautiful woman and quickly crossed the corridor and came to the pavilion.

"Uncle, you called me."

After Yi Gu came over, since Lin Bai and Wen Lao and others were facing away from Lin Bai, Yi Gu greeted the hunchbacked old man first.

Then, they looked at Lin Bai and the other two. Yi Gu intuitively felt that Lin Bai's back looked familiar.

The hunchbacked old man nodded and looked at Lin Bai.

Yi Gu and the woman's eyes fell on Lin Bai and looked at him carefully.

Lin Bai also turned around slowly at this moment and said to Yi Gu with a smile: "Brother Yi, Miss Yi Jinyi, how are you?"

The woman who followed Yi Gu was his eldest sister Yi Jinyi, the eldest of the seven young ladies of the Seven Nights Divine Sect.

Originally, Yi Jinyi had already married, but because the Seven Nights Divine Sect suffered such a disaster and Yi Gu was relatively young, he had to return to the Seven Nights Divine Sect to help preside over the overall situation.

Currently, in Baima City, the real people in charge of the Qiye Divine Sect, apart from the high-level warriors who still exist in the Qiye Divine Sect, are Yi Gu and Yi Jinyi.

"Brother Lin."

When Yi Gu saw Lin Bai, his face naturally showed joy. He was about to go forward and give Lin Bai a hug, but he found that the hunchbacked old man's face was not very good, so he interrupted the action.

"Emperor Lin Bai."

Yi Jinyi smiled and bowed.

The hunchbacked old man said to Yi Gu and Yi Jinse: "Emperor Lin Bai came from afar, saying that he has important matters to discuss with you."

"Then you should discuss it with Emperor Lin Bai and see what he wants to do!"

After saying that, the hunchbacked old man did not leave, but sat next to him in the pavilion.

Yi Gu invited Lin Bai and the other two to sit down. He also sat opposite Lin Bai and asked with a smile:

"Brother Lin, what is the matter with you 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 local overlord now."

Yi Gu shook his head and said: "What local overlord? The current Qiye Divine Sect just wants to seek a place to recuperate."

"By the way, I also want to congratulate Brother Lin on his victory in the Tianjiao competition between the East Region and the North Region."

"I have seen the video of that battle. It is indeed a shocking battle."

"This This battle will surely be recorded in the history of the demon world. "

Lin Bai shook his head, brought the topic back to the main point, and said:

"I came to the Seven Nights Divine Sect this time to discuss the affairs of this territory with the top leaders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect!"

"You also know... the affairs of the East Region and the North Region are temporarily over, and I returned to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect for this matter."

"I came to the Seven Nights Divine Sect this time for this matter!"

Hearing this, the hunchbacked old man and the eldest sister Yi Jinyi both perked up. Obviously, they all knew that Lin Bai came here on behalf of the Seven Nights Divine Sect.

Yi Jinyi smiled gently and said, "Emperor Lin Bai, since we are going to talk about business, before that, we must first confirm what identity you are here in?"

"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, "I came to visit as the current emperor of the Nine Nether Demon Palace to discuss with you."

After hearing that they were going to talk about business, Yi Gu gradually spoke less, and Yi Jinyi was the main person throughout the whole process.

Yi Jinyi smiled and said, "Since Brother Lin came as the emperor of the Demon Palace, then what he said represents the Demon Palace."

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Miss Yi Jinyi can understand it this way."

The smile on Yi Jinyi's face gradually solidified, and she sighed helplessly:

"Since Emperor Lin Bai is here, I think the Demon Palace has a way to deal with us?"

"Then...how does the Demon Palace plan to deal with our Seven Nights Divine Sect?"
