Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

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 continue to hide 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 secret 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 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're not going to 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 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! The treasure of Jiuyou Demon Palace! ...Hearing this, Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang could not help but widen their eyes with astonishment.

This is the effect Lin Bai wants. Only by telling the truth and increasing the bargaining chips in the hands of Jiuyou Demon Palace can the Fantian Sect and the Tianbai Sect be afraid.

Blindly showing weakness and blindly hiding strength will only make others think that Jiuyou Demon Palace is weak and promising.

At the right time and on the right occasion, only by showing a little bit of background and strength can the enemy be truly intimidated.

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 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 also told them truthfully, which shocked them a lot 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:

"What can I do?"

"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 Lin Bai a glass of wine 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, I ask Brother Lin to show mercy!"

He said these words half jokingly and half sincerely. Lin Bai also smiled and nodded:

"If I unfortunately fall into the hands of Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect, please show mercy to me, Brother Nie and Brother Meng."

"Of course, of course! Hahaha."

Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang each picked up a wine glass and drank with Lin Bai.

At this point, Nie Shang also knew that it was useless to say more, and this war seemed inevitable.

However, Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect still have advantages.

And their only advantage is... Jiuyou Demon Palace rebuilt the mountain gate, which made the warriors in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm feel uneasy and extremely resistant.

There are many forces targeting Jiuyou Demon Palace within the territory of Qiye Shenzong, including Fantian Sect, Baitian Sect, Demon Elimination Alliance, Phoenix Valley, and Chunyang Sect.

It is no exaggeration to say... At present, Jiuyou Demon Palace is the enemy of the top forces in the entire territory of Qiye Shenzong.

The three chatted until late at night, and when the bright moon gradually set in the west, the banquet ended.

Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang must prepare in advance. After all, it is already past midnight, and today is their respective big day!

When Lin Bai returned to his residence in Jiuyou Demon Palace, the sky was already pale. He did not care about resting. After using his cultivation to dispel the alcohol, he went straight to the second son of God.

"I want to see Elder Duanmu Pengsheng!"

The second son of God did not say anything. He took Lin Bai to the remote courtyard and opened the door again, allowing Lin Bai to enter Elder Duanmu Pengsheng's space secret treasure.

Elder Duanmu Pengsheng was still hovering cross-legged in the air of Senluo Palace. He did not ask until Lin Bai walked in front of him:

"Have you met Nie Shang and Meng Qinxian?"

"Then you should have known the ideas of Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect, right?"

Lin Bai took two deep breaths and said helplessly: "It's impossible to persuade them to come back. It seems that war is inevitable!"

War is inevitable!

This sentence has already explained the attitude of Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect. They want to join forces to fight for the territory of Qiye Shenzong.

After Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect join forces, the first target to be eliminated must not be Chunyang Sect and Fenghuang Valley, nor can it be the Demon Elimination Alliance and Qinglian Sect.

On the contrary, Chunyang Sect and Fenghuang Valley, Demon Elimination Alliance and Qinglian Sect can all be pulled in by Fantian Sect as allies.

Their first target after joining forces must be the Jiuyou Demon Palace, which is despised by all warriors in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm!

Jiuyou Demon Palace is the most mysterious, powerful and enemy-making sect. Dealing with them will get a lot of support and response.

Saint Elder Duanmu Peng's face did not change after hearing this, as if everything was expected.

"I understand."

"What does the prince want to do next?"

After a brief thought, Lin Bai expressed his inner thoughts:

"Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect have already embarked on this path, so they will never turn back easily."

"I have already determined that 'war is inevitable', so I don't plan to waste my words."

"However, 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 achieve the final victory in this war!"

"Nie Shang and Meng Qinxian will definitely report this matter to their sect elders. I think... this matter is enough to make them afraid."

"Even if they have made sufficient preparations, they will still be afraid and dare not easily open the Nine Nether Demon Palace. Total war!"

"This will buy some time for the Demon Palace, so that the goddess Li Guxian will have time and opportunity to deal with the Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley first!"

After he finished speaking, his eyes moved slightly, and he pondered for a while and continued:

"It is no surprise that judging from the current situation in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, the combination of the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect has become a giant-level existence in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."

"They are stronger than any top sect in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect. It is obviously not a wise move for the Demon Palace to go to war with the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect before dealing with all the hidden dangers!"

Elder Duanmu Pengsheng opened his eyes slightly, and a sharp light flowed under his eyelids, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

Lin Bai continued:

"Compared to the alliance between Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect, although Chunyang Sect and Fenghuang Valley are also in an alliance, they have experienced war before, and the foundation and strong people within the sect have been consumed."

"Although the Demon-Slaying Alliance is composed of the ancestors of small and medium-sized families and sects in other territories, although it seems to be united, in fact, the temporary alliance is not too solid."

"We only need to give the Demon-Slaying Alliance a heavy blow at the right time, and their alliance will collapse!"

"I believe that the goddess Li Guxian's view on the Demon-Slaying Alliance is the same as mine!"

"In addition, there is the Qinglian Sect. They have been watching the fire from the other side of the river and silently paying attention to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect. 's situation changed, but he did not intervene in the war. "

"I think... it is better to deal with the Chunyang Sect, Phoenix Valley, and the Demon-Slaying Alliance than to deal with the Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect first!"

Lin Bai took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with brilliance, and paused for a moment before continuing:

"What I can do here is to delay the Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect first, and create time for the goddess Li Guxian to deal with the Phoenix Valley, the Chunyang Sect, and the Demon-Slaying Alliance."

"As long as the Demon Palace can defeat the Phoenix Valley, the Chunyang Sect, and the Demon-Slaying Alliance, it will not be too late to fight the Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect."

"As for the Qinglian Sect, they want to see a situation where both sides suffer losses, but if the Jiuyou Demon Palace wins in the end, they will also know that the situation is over, and they will naturally surrender. "

After listening to all of Lin Bai's analysis, Saint Elder Duanmu Peng nodded in agreement:

"I support the ideas and theories of the prince."

"I believe that the Palace Master and Goddess Li Guxian will also support the prince's ideas."

"So our focus now is not to deal with Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect, but to deal with Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley!"

He paused here, as if thinking about something, and continued after a moment:

"Goddess Li Guxian should be ready!"

Lin Bai showed a curious look on his face and asked, "I really want to know what Goddess Li Guxian wants to do?"

Saint Elder Duanmu Peng replied calmly:

"Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley seem peaceful on the surface, but in reality In fact, there are also multiple factions within the two major sects. "

"For example, within the Chunyang Sect, the vassal families headed by the Ma family still hope to continue to serve the Demon Palace, while the warriors led by the lineage of the Chunyang Sect's master need independence. "

"The situation inside the Phoenix Valley is not much different."

"According to the original plan of the goddess Li Guxian, she wanted to provoke a fight between the internal forces of the Chunyang Sect and the Phoenix Valley, and erode the top leaders of their sects bit by bit."

"But according to the current situation, there is not enough time for us to slowly wear them down."

"So..."

The pair of dark and cold eyes under the eyelids of the Saint Elder Duanmu Peng suddenly glanced at Lin Bai, and he said what Lin Bai said.

"War is inevitable!"

Does it mean that the goddess Li Guxian is going to use tough measures against the Chunyang Sect and the Phoenix Valley? Not planning to continue the talks?... Lin Bai has already guessed Li Guxian's thoughts in his heart.

"When will she take action?"

"Today!"

The Saint Elder Duanmu Peng gave Lin Bai an extremely firm answer in a cold and gloomy tone.

Today?

Today is the day when Meng Qinxian marries Nie He and Nie Shang marries Meng Chungu, and it is also the day when Li Guxian takes action against Chunyang Sect and Fenghuang Valley?

After thinking for a while, Saint Elder Duanmu Peng said:

"Once the goddess Li Guxian takes action, the high-level officials of Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley who are attending the wedding banquet in Fantian Sect will definitely know the news immediately."

"So how can the emperor's son capture the saint of Chunyang Sect Shen Haoyue and the saint of Phoenix Valley Ji Ruoci alive."

"For the Demon Palace, you have done a great deed again."

Lin Bai frowned and asked, "Do you have to capture them alive?"

Saint Elder Duanmu Peng replied, "These saints are more useful if they are alive."

"On the contrary."

"If they are dead, they will have no value. They will just be a corpse on the side of the road!"

"Same reason."

"The emperor's son is the same. If the emperor's son falls into the hands of other forces, he will be more useful alive than dead!"

The living saints can be used by hostile forces to deter people, and can also be used to negotiate transactions! ... Lin Bai understood Duanmu Peng's words.

"If there is a chance, I will capture them alive!"

Lin Bai gave a firm answer. (End of this chapter)
