Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Lin Bai and Jiuyou Demon Palace were both well aware that the time before the name change ceremony was the only chance for Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect.

Before the name change, with the decline of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, this territory became an ownerless land. As long as you have the strength, anyone can fight for it.

After the name change, it changed from "Seven Nights Divine Sect's Territory" to "Nine Nether Demon Palace's Territory", which means that this territory belongs to someone with an owner.

If the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect continue to act recklessly, it would be tantamount to "rebellion". Fighting without a justification and betraying their oaths will doom the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect to failure.

Elder Wen quickly prepared the cloud boat. Lin Bai and his Taoist disciple Yu You boarded the cloud boat and slowly left the area of ​​the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

Since warriors are prohibited from flying in the air in the mountain gate area of ​​the Jiuyou Demon Palace, and flying magic weapons are also prohibited from flying in the air, when everyone saw the cloud boat slowly appear in the sky above the mountain gate area, they all looked up.

"It's the Emperor's son's cloud boat."

"It seems that the emperor's son has set off to the Seven Nights Divine Sect to pick up the current leader of the Seven Nights Divine Sect!"

By now, many envoys from families and sects have arrived at the Jiuyou Demon Palace and are resting inside the palace gate.

Many of them looked up at the Yunzhou that was slowly leaving the mountain gate of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, and many of them were whispering.

"It is said that the battle between the Demon Palace Emperor and the First God's Son is in full swing. I wonder who will be the final winner."

"No, isn't it? I heard that there was a fierce fight between the goddess Li Guxian of the Ninth Temple and the First Son of God."

"There is not much difference. Goddess Li Guxian is Emperor Lin Bai's woman."

"We have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of the Demon Palace, so we can just sit back and watch the fight."

Accompanied by the voices of many people's rumors, Yun Zhou slowly left the Jiuyou Demon Palace area and headed towards the Qiye Divine Sect.

…

The capital territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect is actually not far from Huanglong Qianzhou where the Nine Nether Demon Palace is currently located.

Relying on the speed of the cloud boat, in about seven or eight days, after crossing several teleportation arrays, Lin Bai and others entered the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect's capital and arrived near the mountain gate.

The spies from the Nine Nether Demon Palace along the way had already obtained Lin Bai's route, and went to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect early to inform them of Lin Bai's upcoming visit.

Therefore, when Lin Bai's cloud boat arrived at the mountain gate of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, Yi Gu, Yi Jinyun and many other contemporary elders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect had already greeted them at the mountain gate.

Lin Bai walked down from the cloud boat with his Taoist Yu You and Elder Wen. He bowed to Yi Gu from a distance and said with a smile:

"Brother Yi, we meet again."

"Lin Bai greets all the seniors of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."

Although the Seven Nights Divine Sect experienced a great war and lost many high-level warriors, there are still many loyal high-level warriors within the Seven Nights Divine Sect.

Most of these high-level warriors have reached the level of Hunyuan Daoguo and Hunchun Daoguo.

Although Lin Bai holds an extraordinary status in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm and the Nine Nether Demon Palace, his cultivation is not that high after all. When he sees these warriors whose cultivation is far superior to his, he still behaves with courtesy.

"Brother Lin, how are you?"

Yi Gu's expression looked a little ugly. He forced a smile with difficulty and said to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai also understood Yi Gu's current situation. After all, he knew very well the purpose of Lin Bai's visit, which was to invite the Qiye Divine Sect to go to the Jiuyou Demon Palace to participate in the name-changing celebration.

"Why."

Lin Bai sighed twice, walked to Yi Gu's side, and whispered:

"Brother Yi, I think you should know the purpose of my visit."

Yi Gu smiled palely, nodded and replied:

"On behalf of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, Lin Bai would like to thank the elders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."

"I also apologize to all the elders."

"After all, this is a war that has swept the world. Many things are beyond our control."

Many elders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect nodded to show that they understood, but they also hoped that Lin Bai could keep his previous promise.

"Emperor Lin Bai, let's talk in the reception hall."

Lin Bai could see that these elders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect seemed to have many things to tell Lin Bai.

Upon hearing this, Yi Gu lowered his head and said nothing.

Lin Bai nodded and walked side by side with Yi Gu, heading into the Qiye Divine Sect.

As they walked forward, Yi Jinyun walked silently behind Lin Bai and whispered to him:

"Lin Lang, I heard that the Nine Nether Demon Palace is not very safe?"

Lin Lang? ... Hearing this name, Lin Bai smiled bitterly in his heart and replied:

“Why do you think so?”

After having a relationship with Yi Jinyun, she initially called Lin Bai "husband", but Lin Bai could never accept this title, so she changed to another way of addressing him.

Yi Jinyun whispered to Lin Bai, "The Seven Nights Divine Sect has heard a lot of rumors recently. It is said that the First Son of God has raised the issue at the Council of Elders... saying that as a son of the Emperor, you are just a show-off but do nothing. They think you are not worthy of being a son of the Demon Palace and intend to incite the Council of Elders to remove you."

After hearing this, Lin Bai walked forward while looking at Old Wen standing beside him.

With Elder Wen's magical powers and means, he could naturally hear Lin Bai and Yi Jinyun's whispers clearly.

However, out of respect for Lin Bai, Mr. Wen did not use his magical powers or any other means to eavesdrop on the conversation between Lin Bai and Yi Jinyun.

At this moment, as Lin Bai looked over, Elder Wen asked with a puzzled look on his face:

"What's wrong?"

"Emperor's son?"

Lin Bai then realized that Elder Wen had not heard his conversation with Yi Jinyun, so he explained:

"The First Son of God wants to depose me?"

Mr. Wen smiled suddenly and said:

"Yes."

"The First Son of God did propose a similar idea at the Council of Elders. Especially as the renaming ceremony is getting closer, the First Son of God's intention is becoming stronger and stronger."

“But no matter how many times the First Son of God made requests, they were all vetoed by Saint Elders Luo Yuanjing and Duanmu Peng.”

Lin Bai informed Yi Jinyun of Elder Wen's answer and explained two sentences:

"The First Son of God originally disobeyed me, and it was only natural that he proposed to remove me from office at the Council of Elders."

Yi Jinyun reminded:

"During this period of time, within the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory... no, now it should be said that within the 'Nine Nether Demon Palace's territory, there has been a rumor that you are about to be dismissed."

“So there is a great sense of crisis within the Seven Nights Divine Sect. They are worried that if you are dismissed by the Demon Palace, then the promises and benefits that were promised to the Seven Nights Divine Sect may not be fulfilled.”

“That’s why the elders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect invited you to the Guest Reception Hall to discuss the situation.”

Lin Bai suddenly realized and finally understood why the elders in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect looked so solemn.

It seems that the news that has been circulating within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect recently has made the Seven Nights Divine Sect feel extremely uneasy.

After all, once Lin Bai was dismissed, all the interests and benefits that Lin Bai had promised to the Qiye Divine Sect would be lost.

Therefore, the Qiye Divine Sect must know Lin Bai’s intentions and plans in advance.

…

Arriving at the reception hall, Lin Bai and many elders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect sat down as hosts and guests.

Yi Gu, the current leader of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, sat in the main seat above, while other high-ranking elders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, such as Yi Jinyi and Yi Jinse, sat on the left.

The guests Lin Bai, Daozi Yu You, Wen Lao, and Yi Jinyun sat on the right.

One of the seven young ladies of the Qiye Divine Sect, the eldest sister, Yi Jinyi, smiled implicitly and said to Lin Bai:

"Prince Lin Bai has come from afar. Our Seven Nights Divine Sect has already arranged a banquet. Please honor us with your presence."

Lin Bai smiled and nodded:

"Thank you for the hospitality from the Seven Nights Divine Sect. I am grateful to you."

After a peaceful greeting between the two sides, the eldest sister Yi Jinyi's eyebrows slowly frowned, and she hesitated for a while before speaking:

"Emperor Lin Bai, at this point, the Seven Nights Divine Sect is about to go to the Nine Nether Demon Palace to announce its abdication, so there are some things we have to say in advance."

"I am a woman, and I speak directly. If I have offended Emperor Lin Bai, please do not take it personally."

Lin Bai glanced at Yi Jinyun who was sitting next to him with a smile on his face, and said with a chuckle:

"Since I have married Miss Yi Jinyun, our Seven Nights Divine Sect and the Nine Nether Demon Palace are one family."

"According to the rules and seniority of your Yi family, I should still call you sister."

"Since it's the eldest sister who has something to say, how can I, as the younger brother, be angry?"

Lin Bai cleverly pulled Yi Jinyun in. After saying these words, not only did he increase Yi Jinyun's importance within the Qiye Divine Sect's territory, but he also told Qiye Divine Sect and others implicitly that he would always give face for the sake of my wife Yi Jinyun.

Upon hearing this, Yi Jinyun's pretty face turned slightly red and she lowered her head slightly.

In fact, when the seating arrangement was being arranged just now, Yi Jinyun took the initiative to sit next to Lin Bai, which touched Lin Bai's heart deeply.

After all, it can be seen from Yi Jinyun's actions that she has regarded herself as Lin Bai's woman, and she also knows that she no longer belongs to the Seven Nights Divine Sect, but to the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

In this way, everyone prospers together and suffers together.

If Lin Bai was wronged, then Yi Jinyun would certainly not have an easy time either.

In the world of martial arts, relying on a large sect or family is extremely important for any martial artist.

Moreover, Lin Bai took the initiative to mention this matter because he wanted to inform the Qiye Divine Sect that as long as he and Yi Jinyun were engaged, he would not ignore the Qiye Divine Sect.

The eldest sister Yi Jinyi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. The tense expression on her face relaxed a little, and then she spoke:

"Then I'll speak frankly."

"I heard that recently the First Son of God has repeatedly proposed to remove Emperor Lin Bai from office at the Council of Elders."

"I wonder if this is true?"

Because of Yi Jinyun's secret reminder just now, Lin Bai also knew the intention of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, so he repeated Wen Lao's answer:

"It is true."

"The First Son of God originally disobeyed me, so it was reasonable for him to remove me from office at the Council of Elders."

"But this matter has already been vetoed by the Saint Elders."

"The First Son of God still failed."

Lin Bai had just finished answering, and before Yi Jinyi could reply, he heard the elders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect start to interrogate him one by one:

“Although the Demon Palace Saint Elder has great authority, he can veto the decision made by the Demon Palace Elder Council with one vote.”

"But we heard that the First Son of God has a lot of 'voting power' in the Council of Elders."

“When the First Son of God proposed to remove Emperor Lin Bai, he almost got the support of two or three hundred elders in the Council of Elders.”

"And there are only a small number of people who are willing to support Lin Baidizi. It can almost be said that there is no one supporting him!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai was about to make a response and tell the elders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect that it was because he had been fighting outside for a long period of time in the past.

But before Lin Bai could answer, another elder of the Seven Nights Divine Sect continued the conversation:

"It is certainly a good thing that Emperor Lin Bai has received the support of the Saint Elder of the Demon Palace."

“But can’t we also see from the side that the only people in the Demon Palace willing to support Emperor Lin Bai are the Saint Elder and the Palace Master?”

"Emperor Lin Bai did not receive support from the warriors within the Demon Palace."

"It is said that if one day the Saint Elder and the Palace Master change their minds and are no longer willing to support Lin Bai, then Lin Bai will immediately lose his position as the Emperor's Son, right?"

Lin Bai opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

Then another elder of the Seven Nights Divine Sect said:

"The reason why our Qiye Divine Sect is willing to submit to the Jiuyou Demon Palace is because Emperor Lin Bai made a promise to us."

"We are willing to give up the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, but Emperor Lin Bai needs to ensure that we own the territories of the fifteen thousand states near the capital."

"We agree to these conditions on the premise that... Lin Bai is still the prince of the Demon Palace."

"But if one day Lin Bai is no longer the prince of the Demon Palace, who should we find to fulfill these promises?"

Facing the continuous questioning from the many elders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, Lin Bai's face gradually became ugly.

Yi Jinyun noticed that Lin Bai's expression was not right, and his expression immediately darkened. He reached out and gently held Lin Bai's hand.

Lin Bai took a deep breath and smiled at Yi Jinyun to reassure her.

He asked the elders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, "Then I wonder what the Seven Nights Divine Sect wants me to do?"

The elders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect laughed bitterly and replied, "It's not that we are asking Emperor Lin Bai to do something. Rather, Emperor Lin Bai is the son of the Demon Palace. What do you want to do?"

Another Seven Nights Divine Sect elder sighed bitterly, "Emperor Lin Bai, it's not that we don't want to believe you, but now the news that you are about to be dismissed is spreading throughout the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."

"We were also panicked after hearing the news."

At this moment, Yi Gu, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't help but speak:

"Brother Lin, I know your character. You don't care much about these false names and status."

"But now the Seven Nights Divine Sect and you are on the same side. If Brother Lin cannot guarantee his position as the Emperor's Son, then our Seven Nights Divine Sect will also pay a huge price for this."

"The Qiye Divine Sect can no longer afford to fail, so... I hope Brother Lin can calm down the rumors inside and outside the territory as soon as possible!"

"After all, people's words are scary!"
