"I hope the sect you selected will be called the 'Nine Nether Demon Palace'."
Before Wang Zhengyang could finish speaking, Lin Bai interrupted with a smile.
Then under the gazes of Wang Zhengyang, Qi Lingyu, and His Highness the Crown Prince, Lin Bai added:
"Isn't it obvious?"
"The Demon Palace chose to rebuild the mountain gate in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect and spent so much effort and price. Isn't it just to get this territory?"
Lin Bai took a deep breath and said seriously: "Although I have not received accurate instructions from the higher-ups of the Demon Palace, I feel that the Demon Palace is determined to win the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."
"If the decision made by the three of them is not to support the Nine Nether Demon Palace, but to support other sects and forces, this will inevitably intensify the Nine Nether Demon Palace's desire to resist!"
"If you push the Devil's Palace into a hurry, you might end up losing everything!"
Wang Zhengyang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Qi Lingyu all nodded when they heard this.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately expressed his position: "If we consider the strength and the sect's heritage, the Nine Nether Demon Palace is more than enough to rule the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, but the problem is... after all, the Nine Nether Demon Palace is unpopular with the people now."
"If we openly support the Nine Nether Demon Palace to become the overlord of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, it is very likely to trigger a riot in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm."
Qi Lingyu also nodded in agreement: "That's right. From the perspective of popular support and prestige, Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect are more suitable to rule the territory of the Seven Nights Sect!"
Before they could finish their discussion, Lin Bai immediately said: "There is no need for the three major sects of Chu State, Qitian Sect, and Wansheng Mountain to come forward to express their support for the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"We just need you three major sects not to interfere in the affairs of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."
"As for the matters within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, we, the Nine Nether Demon Palace, can handle it ourselves."
When Wang Zhengyang heard this, he suddenly asked: "So how long will it take for the Nine Nether Demon Palace to stabilize the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect?"
This was also the question asked by His Highness the Crown Prince before, and Lin Bai also answered truthfully:
"Half a year!"
Wang Zhengyang took a deep breath, glanced at His Royal Highness, nodded and said, "Okay, then give Jiuyou Demon Palace half a year."
"If the Nine Nether Demon Palace does not stabilize the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect in half a year, then our three major sects will come forward by then!"
"When the time comes, I hope Brother Lin won't blame us."
Lin Bai did not answer, but nodded. He also had some thoughts in his heart.
Since Li Guxian asked him to answer "half a year", then Li Guxian naturally has the means and confidence.
With the current foundation and strength of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, is half a year really enough to stabilize the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect?
This made Lin Bai a little unsure.
After all, conquering a territory or a world requires an army and strong men, domineering means and absolute power.
But if you want to rule a territory, domineering methods and absolute power are somewhat insufficient.
Domination and conquest are two completely different concepts.
Wang Zhengyang added: "After half a year, if the Nine Nether Demon Palace successfully calms down the chaos in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, then our Wansheng Mountain will recognize that the Nine Nether Demon Palace has become the most powerful force in the eastern region of the Demon Realm and rules the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."
Qi Lingyu also said: "The same goes for Qitian Sect."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded: "I just hope to see the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect stabilize. If the Nine Nether Demon Palace can do that, that would naturally be the best."
"The State of Chu is also willing to admit that the Nine Nether Demon Palace has become the most powerful force in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm!"
Half a year... Lin Bai silently muttered these two words in his heart without any expression on his face.
Based on his understanding of the situation in the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory, he really couldn't think of any good way to stabilize the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory in just half a year.
If you want to stabilize the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, you must first do the following:
First, let the fire warriors of the Seven Nights Sect, that is, the warriors mainly led by Yi Gu and other senior members of the Seven Nights Sect, give up the idea of restoration.
Just saying this is extremely difficult to do.
Second, let Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect declare their surrender to Jiuyou Demon Palace.
Although these two sects do not have any deep hatred towards the Nine Nether Demon Palace, they are definitely not the kind of sects that can bow their heads at will.
Moreover, the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect currently plan to take advantage of the chaos to seize the territory of the Seven Nights Sect, and they will never surrender so easily.
Third, let Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect remain surrendered.
Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect were originally vassal forces belonging to the Nine Nether Demon Palace and were subordinate to the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
But now Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect believe that they have made great contributions to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, and they want to negotiate terms with the Nine Nether Demon Palace to get rid of the control of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
To put it simply...it means that my wings are stiff and I want to rebel.
Fourth, the warriors from other realms wandering within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, such as the Demon Slayer Alliance and other forces, must either be incorporated into them, wiped out entirely, or driven out of the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect.
This is not easy either.
The warriors from other realms who came to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect were all top masters.
It is absolutely not easy for a force composed of top experts to annihilate, incorporate, and drive them out of the territory.
Fifth, regain the Qinglian Sect.
As one of the five top sects in the Seven Nights Divine Sect, the Qinglian Sect currently maintains a neutral attitude.
It may be the easiest to regain them. As long as Fantian Sect, Baitian Sect, Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley all surrender, then Qinglian Sect will surrender without a fight.
In addition to recovering the Qinglian Sect, Lin Bai believed that the other four difficulties could not be achieved in half a year.
"It depends on Li Guxian's methods."
"She has returned to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."
Lin Bai lowered his eyes, rubbed his chin, and murmured to himself: "I just don't know how Li Guxian can stabilize the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect in half a year."
…
The four of them sat in the Chu State Pavilion and basically finished discussing the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect.
After getting an answer that was satisfactory to all parties, the four people all felt a sense of relief on their faces.
Wang Zhengyang took a sip of wine and asked His Royal Highness: "Has the Northern Territory not withdrawn its troops yet?"
Chu Guozhao's Criminal Division closely monitors the movements in the Northern Territory, and His Highness the Crown Prince is also well aware of the control of the border areas.
"No."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled slightly, this was also within his speculation: "But this is also within my expectation."
"Even if the Northern Territory is defeated, they will not retreat so easily. At least they will need to delay it for a while!"
"After all, now that the Northern Territory's geniuses have failed in the competition, many Northern Territory warriors are unconvinced. The four most prosperous sects in the Northern Territory need time to appease the anger of the Northern Territory warriors."
A helpless wry smile appeared on his face: "The Northern Territory can evacuate warriors from the border within half a year. I think it is already very fast."
Indeed!... Lin Bai also agreed with His Highness the Crown Prince's statement.
There are now tens of millions of warriors from the Northern Territory gathered on the border of the Northern Territory.
Moreover, these tens of millions of warriors all come from different forces, different places, and different territories in the Northern Territory.
It is not easy to bring all the forces together, and it is even more difficult to get them to return to their respective territories.
After all, “It’s easy to invite God but hard to send away.”
That's why His Highness the Crown Prince believes that it is a good thing that the Northern Territory warriors can withdraw their troops within half a year.
It is simply impossible for the northern warriors to withdraw their troops in just a few days.
Lin Bai asked: "Have the warriors from the three ancient forces not come forward to urge the withdrawal of troops from the Northern Territory?"
He remembered that he had asked He Gongji and Li Guxian to put pressure on the three ancient forces to force the Northern Territory to withdraw their troops as soon as possible.
"The seniors of the three ancient forces are still on the border."
His Royal Highness the Prince first explained the location of the three powerful ancient forces, and also explained:
"Even if the seniors of the three ancient forces urge them to withdraw their troops, they can still find some reasons to delay for a while."
Lin Bai was relieved to hear that the seniors of the three ancient forces were still on the border.
After all, the competition between the geniuses in the Northern Territory and the Eastern Territory is hosted by three ancient forces, and they have the power to maintain the results of the competition.
Now that they have determined that the Eastern Region has won, the Northern Region must follow the rules of the competition and withdraw unconditionally.
This is also the meaning of the existence of the three ancient forces.
As long as they are still on the border, the Northern Territory warriors will not dare to take action against the Eastern Territory even if they are dissatisfied.
Wang Zhengyang let out a long breath: "In any case, this battle has finally come to an end."
"As long as the Northern Territory retreats and as long as the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect is stabilized, the Eastern Territory of the Demon Realm will return to peace again."
Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly laughed: "Return to peace? Not necessarily?"
Wang Zhengyang's expression stiffened a little, and he nodded silently: "The next step is the magic medicine war, but these things are not matters for us to intervene in, and we don't need to take care of them."
The magic medicine war!... Lin Bai suddenly thought of Jiuyou City and the burial soil.
The magical medicine in the burial soil will mature within the next ten years. Currently, all other interface great magical powers who have arrived in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm are still in a wait-and-see attitude.
The miracle drug war hasn't quite begun yet.
But within the next ten years, a top-notch contest between those with great supernatural powers will inevitably break out in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm.
But as Wang Zhengyang said... it was a war between the great supernatural powers, and it had nothing to do with them, and they couldn't get involved.
After all, for those with "great supernatural powers", they are already considered the ceiling of combat power in today's demonic and spiritual world.
In ancient times, people who could be called "Earth Immortal" level experts were definitely not something that Lin Bai and others could interfere at will.
The four of them discussed many things in secret in the Chu pavilion, and the banquet gradually came to the latter part of the night.
His Royal Highness the Prince suddenly received the order and said with a smile: "We have already negotiated with our elders."
"Then let's finish it."
The instructions received by His Highness the Crown Prince came from the summons from Prince Liang and Prince Zhao, indicating that they were almost done.
Lin Bai had already guessed...the negotiations for tonight's celebration banquet were divided into two parts.
One part is the current negotiations between the leaders of Chu State, Jiuyou Demon Palace, Qitian Sect, Wansheng Mountain and other sects.
Their negotiations will directly affect the subsequent situation in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm.
The other part is the negotiations at the level of the Son of Chu, Jiuyou Demon Palace, Qitian Sect, Wansheng Mountain, etc.
That is, Lin Bai, Wang Zhengyang, Qi Lingyu, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Although their negotiations cannot completely affect the subsequent situation in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, they have a very high status in their respective forces and have a very important say.
They can influence the decisions and future plans among the current leaders of the four major sects.
So this is also important.
After hearing His Highness the Crown Prince say that the negotiations had been settled, Wang Zhengyang, Qi Lingyu and others put down their wine glasses and slowly stood up.
"Now that we've reached an agreement, let's withdraw." Wang Zhengyang stood up and said with a smile:
"The issues on the borders of the Eastern Region and the Northern Region have been temporarily resolved, but the issues on our All Saints Mountain and the borders of the Western Region have not yet been resolved."
"We should leave the Chu State border and return to Wansheng Mountain within these two days."
Qi Lingyu also nodded silently and said: "I also want to return to Qitian Sect. After all, Qitian Sect's territory and the warriors of the Southern Territory are also confronting each other."
"But according to our speculation, as long as the battle between the Eastern Region and the Northern Region does not start, then the Western Region and the Southern Region will naturally withdraw."
The prince nodded and said: "If Qitian Sect and Wansheng Mountain encounter trouble on the border, Chu State is willing to send troops to help."
"This is also the offensive and defensive alliance we agreed on before."
Wang Zhengyang and Qi Lingyu both nodded and said that if they needed help, they would come for help.
As for the Nine Nether Demon Palace, they currently do not have the time or energy to assist Wansheng Mountain and Qitian Sect. They must start ensuring the stability of the Seven Nights Sect's territory.
His Royal Highness unlocked the magic circle in the pavilion and asked Wang Zhengyang, Lin Bai, and Qi Lingyu to return to their respective pavilions.
About half an hour later, Elder He Gongji and Elder Shi Renshan both came back with gloomy expressions.
But no one in the Nine Nether Demon Palace said a word.
Before dawn, Prince Liang returned to the pavilion of Chu State and announced with a smile that the celebration banquet was over.
The powerful men of Wansheng Mountain and Qitian Sect said that they would leave the Chu State border and return to their respective territories in the next two days.
…
At dawn.
He Gongji and Elder Shi Renshan led the Jiuyou Demon Palace warriors and successfully walked out of Tianya Pass.
It wasn't until they returned to Yongye Pass that everyone in the Nine Nether Demon Palace heaved a long sigh of relief. The Second Son of God said coldly:
"I thought this would be a Hongmen Banquet, and the Chu State would take the opportunity to kill us at Tianya Pass."
The Third Son of God teased: "The Hongmen Banquet? When you were drinking and having fun with the maid arranged by Chu State, you didn't seem to feel that this was a Hongmen Banquet?"
The Second Son of God's old face darkened: "Aren't you the same? Don't you have your arms around the maid of Chu?"
The Third Son of God spread his hands indifferently: "Because I know this can never be a Hongmen Banquet."
"If you think about it carefully, you will know that the emperor has just made great contributions to the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, and he is the first minister to do so."
"Even if the Chu State is a fool, they would not dare to take action against us at this critical moment."
"This will make Chu lose a lot of people's support. They are not that stupid."
While the Second Son of God and the Third Son of God were walking and chatting, Elder He Gongji, who returned to Yongye Pass, said to Lin Bai:
"Emperor, shall we exchange the information we have obtained?"
"That's exactly what I meant."
Lin Bai nodded in agreement, and everyone came to the meeting hall of Yongye Pass.
