Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

"I suspect that the Nine Nether Demon Palace is behind everything that happened when the Northern Territory invaded the Eastern Territory."

"In other words...it was the Nine Nether Demon Palace who instigated the Northern Territory to invade the Eastern Territory!"

After combining the information told by Emperor Chu, many confusions in Lin Bai's mind were solved one by one.

Now he spoke out his thoughts.

Emperor Chu frowned when he heard this, as if he was deep in thought, silent.

From time to time in the darkness, voices would fall into Emperor Chu's ears. After combining the analysis of the secret think tank, he asked Lin Bai:

"What difference does this make?"

"They are all planning to invade the Eastern Region anyway. Who is taking the lead and who is instigating it? What's the difference?"

Lin Bai shook his head with a wry smile and replied firmly: "Then the difference is huge."

"Have you ever thought about it, your Majesty, if the plan of the warriors from the Northern Territory and the Nine Nether Demon Palace succeeds, and they really defeat the coalition forces in the Eastern Territory and destroy the Chu State and the Seven Nights Sect, then how will they distribute the territory they get?"

As soon as Lin Bai said this, Emperor Chu immediately began to think deeply.

The think tanks in the darkness in the Golden Palace also turned their heads, thinking about the deep meaning of Lin Bai's words.

Whether it was the think tank or Emperor Chu, they never thought that the Eastern Region would lose, so they did not do this.

Now that they heard Lin Bai suddenly mention it, they immediately reacted.

Yes, if the Eastern Territory loses, how will the Northern Territory and Jiuyou Demon Palace plan to distribute the Eastern Territory?

"go on."

Emperor Chu thought for a while, and the think tank was also silent. He frowned and motioned for Lin Bai to continue.

"That's the difference!"

"If the warriors from the Northern Territory dominate all this, then after occupying the Eastern Territory of the Demon Realm, they will definitely divide the Eastern Territory equally with the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

"But if the Nine Nether Demon Palace is leading all of this, then given the character of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, they probably won't be willing to share the Eastern Territory equally with the Northern Territory warriors."

"Furthermore... the top leaders of the Nine Nether Demon Palace are so smart. They naturally understand that even if they gather all the power of the Northern Territory and the Nine Nether Demon Palace, they may not be able to overthrow the four most prosperous sects in the Eastern Territory."

"So...if the Nine Nether Demon Palace is leading all of this behind the scenes, then their target may not be the entire Eastern Territory, but one of the territories governed by the four most prosperous sects in the Eastern Territory."

One word awakens the dreamer.

After listening to Lin Bai's words, Emperor Chu felt suddenly enlightened.

The think tanks in the darkness in the Golden Palace seemed to be awakened and hurriedly reported their analysis to Emperor Chu.

"The Seven Nights Divine Sect and the State of Chu."

"These are two prosperous sects in the territory bordering the Northern Territory and the Eastern Territory, and they may eventually become the targets of the Northern Territory and the Nine Nether Demon Palace!"

After combining the analysis from the think tank, Emperor Chu immediately said to Lin Bai.

The previous idea of ​​Emperor Chu and the think tank was that the Northern Territory would capture the Eastern Territory, and the Eastern Territory would gather the strength of warriors to fight the Northern Territory.

But now... Lin Bai told them that if the Nine Nether Demon Palace dominated everything, then the target of the Nine Nether Demon Palace would most likely not be the Eastern Territory, but a certain territory within the Eastern Territory.

Then things are simple.

The territory bordering the Northern Territory naturally became the most suitable choice for the Northern Territory and the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

Qiye Shenzong and Chu State.

"But what does this have to do with them kidnapping the Holy Son and the Ancestor?"

Emperor Chu asked again puzzled.

Lin Bai laughed and was not in a hurry to speak.

Emperor Chu's face became more and more gloomy, because he had already figured out the plans of Beiyu and Jiuyou Demon Palace.

Lin Bai paused and said: "When the Northern Territory invades the Eastern Territory, the warriors from the Eastern Territory will inevitably fight against the Northern Territory with the same hatred. Even if some sects and families in the Eastern Territory have rebellious intentions, they will turn against the general trend. Can’t afford the waves.”

"When the two major realms clash, as His Majesty the Emperor of Chu said, the Eastern Region will surely win."

"But if during the full-scale invasion of the Northern Territory, the Qitian Sect territory and the Wansheng Mountain territory, which are not bordering the Northern Territory, refuse to provide help to the Chu State and the Seven Nights Divine Sect, will your Majesty's victory rate still be 60%?"

Emperor Chu frowned and thought.

The four most powerful forces in the Eastern Region and the top sects have already made alliances with each other.

If there is an invasion from outside, all the sects and families in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm must share the same hatred and defeat the enemy together to ensure that the Eastern Region will never be invaded by the other three major territories.

This covenant is also one of the greatest confidences that Emperor Chu has when facing the Northern Territory.

But now Lin Bai said... If there is an invasion from the Northern Territory, the sects in Wansheng Mountain and Qitian Sect will not lend a helping hand. They will just let Chu State and Qiye Shenzong face the coalition of Northern Territory warriors alone.

Then the situation is different.

No matter how weak the Northern Territory is, it is still a large realm.

It cannot be said that there is no hope at all for the Chu State and the Seven Nights Divine Sect to defeat the power of a realm. It can only be said that the hope is relatively slim.

Before Emperor Chu could speak, Lin Bai continued to speak: "Jiuyou Demon Palace has spread the news that the sect leader who has kidnapped the Holy Son and the ancestor has come to the imperial capital!"

"When the time comes, they will ask Chu State for the Holy Son and let Chu State take responsibility for this matter!"

"Of course, with the strength of the Chu State, it is natural that it is not afraid of these top sects. Even if all the top sects in the demon world rush forward, they may not be able to destroy the Chu State."

"But has your Majesty ever thought about it... In this way, the covenant in the Eastern Region will almost exist in name only."

"Both the Chu State and the Seven Nights Divine Sect will be isolated and helpless."

Emperor Chu still didn't speak, silent.

Lin Bai continued: "If I were a warrior from the Northern Territory, after I capture these saint sons, I will immediately send people to negotiate with their sects!"

Emperor Chu asked: "What are you talking about?"

Lin Bai said: "As long as they don't interfere, I promise not to harm their Holy Son and Ancestor. And we will only target the Chu State and the Seven Nights Sect, and will never offend their territory!"

"You can even promise them some benefits and give them part of the territory after victory!"

Emperor Chu sneered twice when he heard this and nodded: "Your analysis is very reasonable."

"There was a famous saying... If you don't know the answer to a question, don't ask the question."

"Now that you've mentioned the problem, you must have a way to deal with it, right?"

"Say it."

Emperor Chu saw that Lin Bai already had a countermeasure, so he asked directly.

This is all thanks to the fact that on the way here, your father-in-law reminded Emperor Chu of his intention to summon Lin Bai to the palace, so that Lin Bai could think of a countermeasure in advance.

If it hadn't been for your father-in-law's reminder, now that Emperor Chu smelled it, Lin Bai could only be speechless.

"My countermeasure is... to strike first!"

"How to strike first?"

Emperor Chu asked puzzledly.

Lin Bai's face darkened, a bright light appeared in his eyes, and he said: "Before those sect leaders and family heads arrived in the imperial capital, it was announced in the name of the Chu State... The Chu State had found out that it was the Northern Territory that abducted the Holy Son and the top sect. Ancestor."

"In this way, we can divert trouble from the east."

"The sect masters and family heads who originally came to the imperial capital to ask for an explanation will all go towards the Northern Territory with the anger in their hearts."

"At the same time, Chu State must express its attitude, formally select the Northern Territory, and send military troops to the border."

"Only by adopting an attitude of not giving up until the Holy Son and the Ancestor are taken back can the chaos in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm be quelled."
