Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Half a year has passed since Lin Bai closed himself off from the outside world.

These six months can be said to be the most peaceful six months since Lin Bai came to the Demon Realm.

Lin Bai even felt that it would be great if he didn't have to practice for the next six months.

"Finally a breakthrough."

Lin Bai opened his eyes from the jade bed, weighed the "Daluo Golden Pill" in the storage bag, and couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

"I used up more than half of the one hundred Daluo Golden Pills before I could break through to the middle stage of the Daluo Dao Fruit Realm!"

"this……"

Not to mention others, even Lin Bai felt speechless about this.

Because according to the calculations of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, even if these one hundred Daluo Golden Pills cannot break through to the Hunyuan Daoguo realm, they can at least reach the great perfection of the Daluo Daoguo realm.

At present, Lin Ye has eaten half of it, and his cultivation has barely broken through to the middle stage of Daluo Daoguo realm, and he is still a long way from the late stage of Daluo Daoguo realm.

"There are still quite a few Daluo Golden Cores left, but I feel like I can't break through to the late Daluo Dao Fruit realm."

"I wonder if the Nine Nether Demon Palace's promise to 'send me to the Hunyuan Daoguo' still counts?"

Before, Lin Bai had made many contributions to the Jiuyou Demon Palace and accumulated a lot of merits. Later, after discussions between the Demon Palace Master and several holy elders, it was decided to directly provide Lin Bai with resources for him to cultivate to the Hunyuan Daoguo realm.

"If this matter still counts, I can continue to ask for more after I have used up the Daluo Dao Fruit."

Lin Bai stretched and grinned.

Just at this moment.

Elder Wen, who was guarding the Imperial Palace, seemed to sense that Lin Bai had come out of retreat, or at least was sure that Lin Bai was no longer in cultivation, so he hurried to the door of the secret room and said:

"Emperor's son."

"The Demon Palace's name-changing ceremony has been arranged, and all forces in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm have already set off for the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

"So the Palace Master asked me to tell you not to retreat any more in the near future, and you need to go to the Seven Nights Divine Sect and invite the Sect Master over."

"When the name change ceremony is held, they will need to come forward and make the decision to abdicate."

Hearing the voice of Elder Wen coming from outside the secret room, Lin Bai secretly calculated the time and found that nearly half a year had passed.

"good."

"I see."

Lin Bai stood up and walked out of the secret room. After half a year, he saw the sun in the Nine Nether Demon Palace again.

"During my retreat, there must have been a big commotion outside."

Elder Wen and Daozi Yu You were standing at the door, greeting them with a smile.

Lin Bai said as he walked out, smiling.

Elder Wen chuckled and nodded, "The prince is truly as good at predicting things as a god. Just as the prince said, the Demon Palace has been extremely lively in the past six months."

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm a master of prediction, but I guessed what Li Guxian was going to do."

Elder Wen smiled and replied, "In the past six months, Goddess Li Guxian and the First Son of God have had many disputes in the Council of Elders."

"At the beginning, the First Son of God had the upper hand, but in the following months, Goddess Li Guxian began to suppress the First Son of God."

Lin Bai walked out of the secret room and asked with a smile:

"Tell me more about it."

Lin Bai was also very curious about what methods Li Guxian would use to deal with the First Son of God.

It's not just Lin Bai, the First Son of God is also very bad in this regard.

It’s just that behind the First Son of God there is an old monster called “Shi Ren Shan” who is very experienced and is directing him.

After all, Shi Renshan is an old monster who has been practicing for tens of thousands of years. Even if he reads a book and meets one person every day during these ten thousand years, he can read ten thousand books and meet ten thousand people in ten thousand years.

The experience he gained was the accumulation of past years.

But Li Guxian is completely different.

This has to start with Li Guxian's background. She was not a warrior born and raised in the Jiuyou Demon Palace, but came from the State of Chu.

Li Guxian was not only a warrior of the Chu State, but also a member of the royal family of the Chu State, which was dominated by "power politics".

Her mother was Princess Leping, a member of the royal family of the State of Chu. Although she was a girl, she was able to learn a lot from being in the royal family.

Li Guxian might have been born with great talent in this area, so she can display it with ease at this moment.

When Elder Wen heard that Lin Bai wanted to know the details, he was already prepared. He smiled and nodded and replied:

"A lot of things happened in the past six months, most of which were trivial things."

"There are only three things that may interest the Emperor's son."

Mr. Wen said:

"The first thing is that five months ago, a disciple reported to the Law Enforcement Hall that... Zhang Yi, who was recommended by the First Son of God, was enriching himself in the Pill Pavilion. He sold a large number of pills to his concubine at a low price, and then the concubine sold them to warriors in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm at a high price to make a profit from the difference."

"Son of the Emperor, this 'Zhang Yi' is the sworn brother of the First Son of God."

Lin Bai suddenly raised his eyebrows and became interested.

Elder Wen continued, "When he was in Jiuyou City, the First Son of God was a generous person. Because of his high status, many warriors rushed to curry favor with him."

"He then became sworn brothers with eight of them, and Zhang Yi was one of them!"

Lin Bai nodded in sudden realization and asked, "Then how did the Council of Elders resolve the issue?"

Elder Wen smiled and said, "At the beginning, Zhang Yi and the First Son of God both argued that it was a false accusation."

"Later, it was Goddess Li Guxian who produced evidence, which convinced Zhang Yi and the First Son of God."

"Saint Elder Luo Yuanjing made a ruling on the spot to execute Zhang Yi as a warning to others."

Lin Bai nodded slightly, not feeling surprised.

After all, the Jiuyou Demon Palace has just rebuilt its mountain gate, and many warriors inside the gate are ready to make some moves after coming to the outside world.

The Eastern Region of the Demon Realm is naturally more prosperous and bustling than the underground Jiuyou City, and it also attracts more warriors.

For example, the capital of Chu State is known as the number one "gold-consuming den" in the demon world. No matter how wealthy you are, as long as you are willing to spend, you can eat well in the capital of Chu State.

With more attractions from the outside world, more money is naturally needed, and it is inevitable that many high-ranking warriors in the Jiuyou Demon Palace will have evil thoughts.

The reason why Saint Elder Luo Yuanjing made such a decisive judgment was that he must have wanted to make an example of someone and use this incident to intimidate the warriors inside the Demon Palace.

"The second incident happened three months ago, which is also quite funny."

When Old Wen talked about the second thing, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle. Even Daozi Yu You turned his face away, with a slight blush on his cheeks.

Seeing the two's appearance, Lin Bai became more curious and asked hurriedly:

"What is it?"

Mr. Wen put away his smile and answered seriously:

"The First Son of God relied on his position in the Demon Palace and the support of Elder Shi Renshan to act recklessly inside and outside the Demon Palace. He had forcibly occupied the female cultivators of the Demon Palace many times."

"Among them, there are many female cultivators who already have Taoist partners, and... and..."

Old Wen opened his mouth several times, but seemed unable to say these unspeakable things. However, he finally thought about reporting to Lin Bai, so he spoke out boldly.

"And when he raped the female cultivator, her Taoist partner was watching beside him!"

"Haha!" Lin Bai sneered twice when he heard this:

"How did the Demon Palace deal with it?"

Elder Wen replied, "No one reported this matter to the Elders' Pavilion, but it became a hot topic in the Demon Palace and almost everyone knew about it."

"The Council of Elders heard the increasing discussions inside and outside the Demon Palace, so they had to punish the First Son of God and severely reprimanded him."

Lin Bai frowned slightly in dissatisfaction and asked curiously, "Did he just scold her harshly?"

"Is this the end?"

Elder Wen nodded and said, "Yes."

He added an explanation: "Most of those female cultivators who were forcibly taken had no family to rely on, and their status in the Demon Palace was just that of ordinary female cultivators."

When he said this, he seemed to take into consideration Daozi Yuyou who was right beside him, and glanced at Daozi Yuyou before continuing:

"Son of the Emperor, in the world of martial arts, the strong are respected. Female cultivators without a backer have always had a hard time."

"Not to mention ordinary female cultivators like them, even female cultivators at the level of Saint Son or Dao Son in the Demon Palace will be looked down upon at certain times."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai turned his head to glance at Daozi Yuyou and saw that she was lowering her head. I wonder what she was thinking about?

“Is anyone bullying you?”

Daozi Yuyou heard the voice, then he raised his head, shook his head slightly and smiled:

"No."

Lin Bai nodded with satisfaction and replied: "If someone bullies you, just tell me. I have nothing to do every day and I am bored."

Although Lin Bai answered casually, Daozi Yu You felt warm in his heart when he heard it, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Elder Wen continued, "Those female cultivators have no backers, so no one in the Council of Elders speaks for them."

"Many Demon Palace elders believed that there was no need to offend the First Son of God for the sake of a few ordinary female cultivators, so this matter was resolved."

Lin Bai thought about it carefully and realized that no one reported this matter to the Law Enforcement Hall, but it spread directly among the warriors inside the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

Then it was obvious that someone did this deliberately.

Lin Bai only needed to think carefully to guess who did it, and then he continued to ask:

"Didn't Goddess Li Guxian hold on tightly?"

Elder Wen shook his head and said, "No, Goddess Li Guxian did not say a word about this matter in the Council of Elders."

"Neither did they express their desire to hold the First Son of God accountable, nor did they express their desire for the sect to severely punish the First Son of God."

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Li Guxian also knows very well that it is unlikely to become the first son of God through this matter."

"Let's talk about the third thing."

After thinking for a while, Mr. Wen replied:

"The third thing is that I heard recently that the Nine Nether Demon Palace was going to change the name of 'Seven Nights Divine Sect Territory' to 'Nine Nether Demon Palace Territory'. After the news spread, it caused a violent reaction from the Demon Extermination Alliance."

"They have been harassing the Demon Palace both inside and outside the sect, causing the Demon Palace great annoyance."

"Especially in the past few days, even two warriors at the Taiyi Daoguo realm died in their hands."

"In response to this, Goddess Li Guxian asked the First Son of God how to deal with this matter at the Council of Elders."

"What do you think about solving the problem of the Demon Extermination Alliance?"

After finishing speaking, Elder Wen immediately informed Lin Bai of the First Son of God's opinion on the matter:

"But the First Son of God said...the Demon-Slaying Alliance is formed by the coalition of many forces, and the Demon Palace needs to pay great attention to it."

"He even hopes that the Demon Palace can give him an army so that he can destroy the Demon-Slaying Alliance."

Lin Bai sneered when he heard this.

Both the Demon Palace Master and Li Guxian believed that the Demon-Slaying Alliance was just a group of rabble who took advantage of the chaos in the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory to reap benefits.

Perhaps there are indeed a few high-level warriors within the Demon-Slaying Alliance, but they have no mountain gate within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, so where should they be eliminated?

The First Son of God said this obviously because Lin Bai and Li Guxian had just made great achievements outside, and he felt a sense of crisis, so he took the initiative to volunteer to deal with the Demon-Exterminating Alliance.

There was no need for Elder Wen to tell him the outcome of this matter, Lin Bai could guess that this matter was opposed by the Saint Elder Luo Yuanjing.

After all, if you hand over millions of troops to the hands of the First Son of God, it is estimated that no one will come back alive.

At this moment, Elder Wen expressed the opinion of the Council of Elders:

"The Council of Elders believes that it is not appropriate to deal with the Demon-Slaying Alliance at this time, and we should focus more on the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect."

"Therefore, the Demon Palace army is still led by Li Guxian."

After hearing this, Lin Baizong finally understood why Mr. Wen had chosen these three things to tell him.

He couldn't help but sincerely admire Li Guxian's methods:

“That’s amazing.”

"The first incident proves that the First Son of God is nepotistic and has no justice at all."

"The second thing proves that the First God Clan indulges in selfish desires and has no morals or conduct."

"The third incident proves that the First Son of God is short-sighted and incapable of great use."

"It seems that Li Guxian's moves didn't bring any benefits, but they hit the First Son of God's weak spot."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Wen nodded repeatedly. It was not difficult for both him and Lin Bai to see that Li Guxian must be behind this.

"These are just three of the many things that have happened in the past six months. There are many more things. If you want to know more, I have prepared records for you to check at any time."

As he spoke, Mr. Wen handed a small notebook to Lin Bai.

"No need."

“I’m too lazy to look.”

Lin Bai simply shook his head and rejected Mr. Wen's idea.

Arriving at the edge of the Imperial Palace Island, Lin Bai saw that the Nine Nether Demon Palace mountains were now decorated with lights and colorful clouds, and the sky was full of red clouds, as if people were in high spirits as if they were celebrating a happy event.

Some of the invited families and sects were relatively close to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect and have now arrived at the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

But at present, the envoy teams from the Chu State, Wansheng Mountain, Qitian Sect, and the top sects and families in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm are still on the way.

Lin Bai asked curiously, "When is the Demon Palace's name-changing ceremony?"

After thinking for a while, Elder Wen replied, "It will take about three months."

Lin Bai nodded and asked, "So I need to go to the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory now and ask the current leader of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, Yi Gu, to come over?"

Elder Wen replied, "Yes, according to the rules, since the Seven Nights Divine Sect wants to abdicate, we must give them enough face."

"So the prince needs to go and greet them personally to show the Demon Palace's respect for the Seven Nights Divine Sect."
