Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

However, Lin Bai also learned about the origin of Phoenix Valley and Jiuyou Demon Palace from the narration of the Phoenix Valley Sect Master.

"It turns out that the founder of Phoenix Valley was one of the warriors who followed the Holy Lord to conquer the world. However, it seems that the founder of Phoenix Valley was not the top fighting force in the Nine Nether Demon Palace at that time."

"It should be a figure second only to the Holy Lord and the Nine Divine Sons. Otherwise, if the founder of Phoenix Valley has reached the level of the Nine Divine Sons, he should not leave the Nine Nether Demon Palace easily."

After his thoughts gradually dispersed, Lin Bai connected the cause and effect:

"The founder of the Phoenix Valley should have realized that the Nine Nether Demon Palace was an enemy and would end badly, so he thought of leaving the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

"Perhaps at that time, the Nine Nether Demon Palace also saw that there was something wrong with the state of the 'Saint Lord', because the Holy Lord was in a 'half-crazy' state in his later years, so the Nine Nether Demon Palace also deliberately left some back-up preparations for itself. ”

"In this way, the founder of Phoenix Valley intended to leave, and Jiuyou Demon Palace facilitated the move and agreed to the request of the founder of Phoenix Valley."

"And also gave them the Feng Shui treasure land of the 'Phoenix Valley' in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect as the mountain gate territory."

"Things may be a little different from what I imagined, but the difference is definitely not too big."

What happened one hundred thousand years ago was, after all, too long ago. Even for a warrior at the Tao realm, it was considered a relatively long history.

In the past years, the loss of some classics and the different opinions from the outside world have made it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

All of this was Lin Bai's speculation, but he felt that his speculation should be close to the truth.

Lin Bai didn't want to dwell on this kind of thing, and he didn't want to waste time looking for any evidence. After all, the most important thing now was to deal with the current matter.

"When did the leader of the Phoenix Valley say that these things are not good? At this time, he suddenly mentioned the connection between the Phoenix Valley and the Nine Nether Demon Palace. What does this mean?"

Lin Bai didn't believe that the leader of the Phoenix Valley talked about it casually, he must have done it intentionally.

So what is his purpose?

"Is Phoenix Valley seeing that Jiuyou Demon Palace is going to kill Chunyang Sect? Phoenix Valley is worried that they will become the next Chunyang Sect?"

"So now you are specifically mentioning the relationship between Phoenix Valley and Jiuyou Demon Palace to show your favor to me?"

"Um."

"This is a sign of goodwill to me."

Lin Bai gradually understood the Phoenix Valley Sect Master's intention, and his thoughts rippled in his heart:

"Goddess Li Guxian continuously assassinated a large number of powerful figures in the Chunyang Sect in the Chunyang Sect, and these people were once famous in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect and had great reputation in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."

"Although the death of a few high-level warriors will greatly damage the Chunyang Sect's vitality, it is far from being destroyed."

"But the death of such a very famous warrior will cause different opinions among the warriors in the world. They will deliberately favor the power and sect of Chunyang Sect. They will also think that Chunyang Sect is no longer able to resist the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

"That's the effect I wanted."

When Lin Bai thought of this, an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He picked up the wine glass and cleverly hid the smile.

"This is like when two armies are confronting each other, and the commanders and generals in the opponent's army are assassinated one by one."

"Although the soldiers are still intact and still capable of fighting, the assassination of the commander-in-chief and general will give people a feeling that 'the situation is over'!"

"And the Chunyang Sect will soon discover... that they cannot blindly let the Nine Nether Demon Palace assassinate high-level warriors. This will make them lose military morale and lose the hearts of the people."

"But the Chunyang Sect is not the Chu State, and it is not a force that founded the country based on the army. If it were Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue, they would immediately understand what Li Guxian was doing."

"The Chunyang Sect will discover the intentions of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, but it will be very slow and it will take some time."

"In the time it took Chunyang Sect to react, it was Li Guxian who created the opportunity for me, which gave me the ability to convince Phoenix Valley!"

This is basically the strategy that Lin Bai and Li Guxian discussed after they conspired. This is why Li Guxian and Lin Bai need to cooperate with each other in their actions in Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley respectively.

Because a senior member of the Chunyang Sect was assassinated, the news spread, morale was lost, and the allies were frightened.

The time between Chunyang Sect's reaction and response was Lin Bai's best opportunity to take action.

…

In the palace surrounded by hanging ink gauze curtains, the master of the Phoenix Valley removed the dancing girl and started chatting with Lin Bai with a smile.

After Lin Bai understood what the Phoenix Valley Sect Master meant, he replied with a slight smile on his face:

"That's natural."

"In the final analysis, whether it is Phoenix Valley or Chunyang Sect, they are both sub-rudders of the Demon Palace."

"We are of the same blood, we are all brothers!"

When the feminine Phoenix Valley Sect Master heard this, the smile on his face froze slightly.

His eyes moved shrewdly, thinking deeply about the meaning of Lin Bai's words.

"What's this?"

"Is this telling me that... Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley are both branches of the Demon Palace, and they are both born from the same lineage, but now Jiuyou Demon Palace is killing Chunyang Sect?"

"Is this reminding me that even if we are of the same lineage, if we disobey the wishes of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, we will still show no mercy?"

"The fate of Chunyang Sect today will be the fate of Phoenix Valley tomorrow?"

The leader of the Phoenix Valley couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He understood the implication of Lin Bai's words.

They keep saying that they are born from the same lineage, but Jiuyou Demon Palace is now constantly assassinating the top leaders of Chunyang Sect. How does this look like they are born from the same lineage?

The Phoenix Valley Sect Master quickly calmed down his surging thoughts, remained focused and calm, and thought about the next countermeasures.

"Speaking of which, the Demon Palace rebuilt the gate in Huanglong Qianzhou. I, Phoenix Valley, have not gone to congratulate it yet."

"It just so happened that Emperor Lin Bai came to Phoenix Valley this time, so I prepared some small gifts to help the Demon Palace rebuild the mountain gate."

"I would also like to trouble Emperor Lin Bai to work harder and bring these things back to the Demon Palace!"

Lin Bai raised his eyebrows when he heard this and smiled secretly in his heart.

This is showing weakness.

When the Nine Nether Demon Palace rebuilt the mountain gate, it caused great commotion and was opposed by warriors all over the world.

Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley were already rebelling, so it was naturally impossible for them to congratulate the Demon Palace for rebuilding the mountain gate.

But now they took the initiative to send a congratulatory gift, not to mention what the congratulatory gift from Phoenix Valley was, but the fact that they had this intention was enough to show that they were showing weakness.

"The noise Li Guxian made in Chunyang Sect is really useful."

"It's also because we planned well and made the right move at the right time. It just so happened that I came to Phoenix Valley at the right time."

"Phoenix Valley now has to bow its head and show weakness."

"Not to mention whether Phoenix Valley's show of weakness by lowering its head is sincere or fake, but as long as they take this action, it will be easy to handle."

Lin Bai held the wine glass and turned to look at the Phoenix Valley Sect Master, and said with a smile:

"The Demon Palace has been waiting for the congratulatory gift from Phoenix Valley, but... I wonder if the congratulatory gift from Phoenix Valley includes the surrender of Phoenix Valley?"

The Phoenix Valley Sect Master immediately fell silent upon hearing this, and did not answer Lin Bai's words for a long time.

Lin Bai ignored the Phoenix Valley Sect Master and immediately said with full force:

"Since the Phoenix Valley and the Jiuyou Demon Palace are of the same lineage, over the past hundred thousand years, the Phoenix Valley has received many benefits from the Demon Palace, so that it can secure its position as the top force in the Phoenix Valley."

"Now that the Demon Palace has reappeared in the world, as a branch of the Demon Palace, shouldn't we return to the Demon Palace's command?"

Lin Bai looked at the Phoenix Valley Sect Master and asked with a smile: "Sir, what do you think?"

The leader of Phoenix Valley nodded with a smile, looking at the elders of Phoenix Valley intentionally or unintentionally.

I saw that the elders of Phoenix Valley also lowered their heads, stopped talking, and had gloomy faces, not knowing what they were thinking.

The leader of the Phoenix Valley took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice:

"I, Phoenix Valley, have never publicly announced my departure from the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

"We, Phoenix Valley, have always been an integral part of the Nine Nether Demon Palace. What does Emperor Lin Bai mean by these words?"

He started to act like a hooligan, and operated normally... Lin Bai laughed in his heart, understanding that the master of the Phoenix Valley started to act like a rogue and muddy.

"Phoenix Valley has indeed never announced its departure from the Nine Nether Demon Palace, but Phoenix Valley has also never announced its return to the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

The leader of the Phoenix Valley thought for a moment with a gloomy expression and replied:

"We believe that given the current situation in the Demon Palace, it may be more beneficial to the Demon Palace if we stay in the dark."

"It's okay to wait until the situation in the Demon Palace has completely stabilized before we announce our return."

"If the Demon Palace cannot settle down, at least there will be Phoenix Valley as a visible guarantee, and the Demon Palace will not be encircled by many forces and end up in the same miserable state as it was a hundred thousand years ago."

"Emperor Lin Bai, what do you think?"

What you say is better than what you sing! ... Lin Bai chuckled twice, full of contempt and disdain for what the Phoenix Valley Sect Master said.

From a literal point of view, there is nothing wrong with what the Phoenix Valley Sect Master did, and he was considering everything for the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

If the Demon Palace cannot be stabilized, it will be opposed by the warriors from all over the Demon Realm, and may even be encircled and suppressed, and unfortunately it will be destroyed again.

At that time, Phoenix Valley will definitely stand up and secretly protect the warriors of Jiuyou Demon Palace from the massacre a hundred thousand years ago.

This is definitely a good thing.

Having another escape route would also be good for the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

But these words have another meaning...that is, Phoenix Valley can always pay attention to the situation. It is like a grass on the wall, which way the wind blows, it will fall that way.

If the situation is favorable to the Nine Nether Demon Palace, then Phoenix Valley will naturally return to the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

If the situation is not favorable to the Nine Nether Demon Palace, Phoenix Valley might even add insult to injury.

Lin Bai chuckled and said, "It seems that I misunderstood the sect leader."

"With these words from the sect leader, I will feel relieved."

"Come on, come on, have a drink!"

He didn't say any more, but invited the Phoenix Valley Sect Master to have a drink.

When the Phoenix Valley Sect Leader heard this, he looked happy, thinking that he had fooled Lin Bai.

He couldn't help but feel happy: "In this way, we can take a good look at the situation."

"Let's also take a look at Chunyang Sect's actions and see if Chunyang Sect has any follow-up measures."

"If Chunyang Sect really has no power to fight back against Jiuyou Demon Palace, then we will take advantage of the situation and return to Jiuyou Demon Palace. If Chunyang Sect still has the power to resist, Jiuyou Demon Palace will not be able to capture Chunyang Zong, maybe our alliance can still be maintained!”

"Time!"

"It takes time now!"

The leader of Phoenix Valley smiled and started drinking with Lin Bai.

After having a drink, Lin Bai looked at the scenery of Phoenix Valley outside and couldn't help but smile:

"I first arrived in Phoenix Valley, and the beautiful scenery here really dazzled me. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to stay in Phoenix Valley for a while?"

"Of course."

The leader of Phoenix Valley agreed immediately. He hoped that Lin Bai would stay in Phoenix Valley until the situation in the territory of Qiye Divine Sect stabilized.

After all, Lin Bai's status in Jiuyou Demon Palace was extraordinary. If Jiuyou Demon Palace wanted to attack Phoenix Valley, Phoenix Valley could take Lin Bai down and use Lin Bai as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Jiuyou Demon Palace.

So when he heard that Lin Bai wanted to stay, the leader of Phoenix Valley agreed 100 times and immediately arranged accommodation for Lin Bai and the warriors of Jiuyou Demon Palace.

After the banquet, Lin Bai and the warriors of Jiuyou Demon Palace temporarily lived in Phoenix Valley under the arrangement of the leader of Phoenix Valley.

And Phoenix Valley did arrange a picturesque mountain for Lin Bai and others to live.

When he came to the mountain where he lived, Lin Bai looked out at the outside world. Phoenix Valley was shrouded in clouds and mist, white cranes were flying, and the splendid mountains and rivers seemed to reflect the prosperous times.

After arriving at the residence, Elder Wen drove out all the warriors from Phoenix Valley and set up an "interference array" in the residence to ensure that Phoenix Valley would not use other means to eavesdrop on the conversation between Lin Bai and Elder Wen.

After Elder Wen made all the arrangements, he walked behind Lin Bai.

Lin Bai closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows, whispering to Elder Wen:

"When will the masters of the Nine Nether Demon Palace enter the territory of Phoenix Valley?"

In the previous discussion with Li Guxian, Li Guxian said... that some of the strong men should be sent to the territory of Phoenix Valley to support Lin Bai's plan in Phoenix Valley.

At the banquet just now, the leader of Phoenix Valley spoke without leaking a single word, and every word he said was for the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

Lin Bai really couldn't find a way to refute the leader of Phoenix Valley, so he could only use external forces to suppress him at this moment.

Elder Wen said softly: "After all, the number of strong men arranged by the goddess Li Guxian is extremely large. It is not easy for a large number of strong men to pass through."

"And at present, the void around the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, especially the void of Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect, is originally monitored by masters from their two major sects."

"So it is not easy to come here using the void."

"These warriors can only come to the Phoenix Valley territory through the teleportation array within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, or other means."

"This takes a certain amount of time."

Lin Bai turned back to Elder Wen and asked curiously:

"How many strong men did Li Guxian draw over?"

He knew that Li Guxian had drawn some strong men to Phoenix Valley to support Lin Bai, but the specific number was not clearly revealed at the meeting at that time.

After the meeting, Li Guxian returned to the real world, and after careful thinking and calculation, she began to draw masters.

So Lin Bai did not know the number of masters in the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

However, the masters who were drawn out to support Lin Bai later contacted Elder Wen, and Elder Wen initially grasped their number and strength.

Elder Wen thought carefully and answered with a firm and confident voice:

"Seven warriors in the Supreme Dao Fruit Realm, fifteen warriors in the Chaos Dao Fruit Realm, and twenty-one warriors in the Hunyuan Dao Fruit Realm."

"The warriors in the Daluo Dao Fruit Realm and the Taiyi Dao Fruit Realm are estimated to be two to three hundred in total."

"The 'Nightmare Legion' formed by Dao Realm warriors has been dispatched to three battalions, about 30,000 people."

After hearing the number of strong men dispatched by Li Guxian, Lin Bai's expression gradually lost control and his mouth opened a little bit.

The foundation of the Nine Nether Demon Palace is stronger than Lin Bai imagined! Seven warriors in the Supreme Dao Fruit Realm can be dispatched to Phoenix Valley!
