"I suspect that the Qinglian Sect will be detrimental to Prince Qin!"
As soon as these words came out, Chu Tinghan and Princess Shenxian both cheered up and looked at Chu Tingxue in surprise.
Chu Zimo's eyes widened and he asked: "Second sister, is this impossible? After all, we received a request for help from the Seven Nights Divine Sect and came to help put down the rebellion in the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory."
"Even if Qinglian Sect doesn't help us, it won't embarrass us, right?"
Lin Bai was also a little surprised by this.
He has no grudges against the Qinglian Sect in the past and in the recent past, and he has never offended them.
How could they be disadvantageous to themselves?
And just like what Chu Zimo said... Chu's army came to help the Seven Nights Divine Sect quell the rebellion. Even if the Qinglian Sect was unwilling to help, it would not embarrass them.
"If I think about it too much, that would be for the best."
"But if I guess correctly, then things will be in trouble."
Chu Tingxue said with a gloomy face: "I have three inferences about this."
"First."
"The Qinglian Sect and our Chu State have never dealt with each other and have some grievances."
"Once upon a time, the Qinglian Sect wanted to invade the territory of Chu State and included the Demonic Dragon Mountain Range and the nine thousand states in front of it within the territory of the Qingye Divine Sect, the Qinglian Sect."
"But they failed back then."
"The army led by my father was beaten to the point of running away."
"The State of Chu even issued a letter to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, requesting the Chu State's army to enter the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect and destroy the Qinglian Sect."
"After hearing this, the Qinglian Sect sent an envoy to the imperial capital to beg for mercy."
"In order to teach the Qinglian Sect a lesson, the Chu State did not destroy their sect, but it gave them a great shame and humiliation."
"As for the great shame and humiliation, you should have guessed it."
"Back then... the head of the Qinglian Sect sent his sect's saint to Mingyuefang, the imperial capital, to become an oiran."
"This incident was a huge blow to the Qinglian Sect. It once made the Qinglian Sect the laughing stock of the Seven Nights Sect. It was only after this battle that the Qinglian Sect showed signs of decline."
After hearing Chu Tingxue's analysis, Lin Bai suddenly remembered that Chu State and Qinglian Sect still had this grudge.
Although it was the Qinglian Sect who took the initiative and the Chu army had to fight back, the subsequent handling did indeed cause the Qinglian Sect to lose face.
The saint from her sect was sent to the imperial capital to become an oiran.
This is a great shame and humiliation for any sect.
"second."
"The contemporary saint of Qinglian Sect also died in the imperial capital."
"The Qinglian Sect must have a grudge against the Chu State."
"Before, in the imperial capital, they did not dare to have any violence with Prince Qin and Zimo, but now in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect and within their mountain gate, no one can predict what kind of actions they will make."
Lin Bai remembered again that the contemporary saint of Qinglian Sect died in Mingyuefang in the imperial capital.
It was also because of this that the head of the Qinglian Sect begged His Majesty the Chu Emperor for mercy and released the previous-generation saint who was working as an oiran in Mingyuefang.
But Lin Bai thought about it carefully... wasn't the person who killed the contemporary saint of Qinglian Sect the warrior of Jiuyou Demon Palace?
In this case, how can Qinglian Sect help Jiuyou Demon Palace?
Um?
Not right either.
Lin Bai suddenly remembered the words of the third prince... When the interests of the sect are threatened, the life of a saint son and a saint is not so important.
If faced with huge interests, the Qinglian Sect might temporarily put aside their grudges and seek huge benefits for the sect first.
Especially the current Qinglian Sect, which has been in decline since its defeat at the hands of Chu State many years ago.
They desperately need a huge victory to turn around.
"third."
"The situation in the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory is obviously a situation of all-out war."
"The Qinglian Sect knows very well that they cannot avoid it."
"But why are they still standing still?"
"Do you have any ulterior motives?"
Chu Tingxue was indeed a proud daughter trained by Prince Liang. She could clearly analyze the attitude of the Qinglian Sect in just a few words.
Chu Zimo frowned and asked: "Second sister, what is the Qinglian Sect planning?"
Chu Tingxue chuckled and said, "I don't know."
"But they only have two plans."
"First, when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured."
"They may be waiting for the coalition forces of the Seven Nights Sect, Fantian Sect, Baitian Sect, and the coalition forces of Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley to defeat both sides before they step out and reap the benefits."
Chu Zimo's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement: "Yes, if I were the Qinglian Sect, I would do the same."
"Let Qiye Shenzong and Phoenix Valley fight first, and I will be the oriole."
"Anyway, the current war in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect cannot burn the territory of the Qinglian Sect for the time being."
Lin Bai and Chu Zimo both agreed with this statement.
Even Lin Bai thought so. He just thought that the Qinglian Sect was watching the fire from the other side, observing the situation and trying to get some benefits from the chaos.
"but……"
Chu Tingxue continued: "If the Qinglian Sect wants to be an oriole, then it doesn't matter. What I'm most afraid of is..."
She hesitated to speak.
Chu Tinghan and Princess Shenxian both looked at Chu Tingxue.
Lin Bai and Chu Zimo were also waiting for her follow-up words.
Chu Tingxue's tone suddenly turned cold: "The most fearful thing is... they have already been instigated by Jiuyou Demon Palace and Beiyu to rebel, but they have been holding back for a long time. It is very likely that they are waiting for our Chu army."
hiss……
One word awakens the dreamer.
Chu Tingxue's words were like a bolt of lightning hitting Lin Bai's body, making his heart suddenly brighten.
Many things that I couldn't figure out were all gone at this moment.
Lin Bai speculated that the Qinglian Sect might be observing the situation before choosing to stand still, but he never thought that... the Qinglian Sect was waiting for the Chu army.
Chu Zimo was shocked and said: "Is this impossible?"
"It's possible." Lin Bai replied for Chu Tingxue: "Once the war begins, Jiuyou Demon Palace and Beiyu will know very well that the Seven Nights Divine Sect will definitely not be their opponent."
"The Seven Nights Divine Sect will definitely ask for help from Chu State."
"If the Chu army wants to enter the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, it must enter the territory of the Qinglian Sect."
"But... His Royal Highness, along the way, we didn't seem to encounter the people from the Nine Nether Demon Palace and the Northern Territory."
"We didn't even encounter any obstacles."
Lin Bai took a deep breath and his eyes sparkled: "Didn't Jiuyou Demon Palace and Beiyu ever think about...the Chu State sending troops to ask for help?"
"If they had thought of it, how could they not have deployed manpower on the border?"
"You don't need too many manpower, you just need to stop us, but they didn't do that."
Lin Bai took a deep breath and continued: "Nine Nether Demon Palace and Beiyu are not fools. The reason why they are willing to expose their backs to us is because they have laid a trap."
"This trap is most likely the Qinglian Sect that has been standing still!"
Hearing Lin Bai's words, Chu Tingxue pursed her red lips and smiled, nodding her head repeatedly: "So just now I asked you whether you encountered any danger after entering the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, and it turned out that there was no danger at all. This... seems too abnormal.
