Lin Bai looked at Li Guxian with great interest, with a faint smile on his lips, as if he was looking forward to what she would say next.
When Li Guxian faced Lin Bai's gaze, she did not feel fear or flinch. Instead, she continued:
"First of all, we need to make sure that the goals of the Emperor's son and our Jiuyou Demon Palace are the same!"
Lin Bai thought for a moment and said, "That depends on what the goal of the Nine Nether Demon Palace is."
Li Guxian chuckled and said: "I don't know the future goals of the Demon Palace, but I understand the current goals very well."
"The Demonic Palace is now being rebuilt outside the mountain gate, and is in urgent need of a treasured land where it can rest and thrive!"
"Obviously, the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect has become an unclaimed land, which is the best choice for the Demon Palace."
Lin Bai nodded and asked: "So the goal of the Demon Palace is to rule the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect? To become one of the four most powerful forces in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm?"
It is no surprise that it is the most powerful force that rules the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect. Other than that, no other force can do it.
Li Guxian smiled and said: "Yes, so our goal is the same as the emperor's?"
Lin Bai had a lot of thoughts in his mind at that moment, and many things and figures emerged in his mind.
Among them are Yi Gu, the saint son of the Qiye Shen Sect, Meng Qinxian, the saint son of the Fantian Sect, Nie Shang, the saint son of the Baitian Sect, and others.
If the Nine Nether Demon Palace wants to become the overlord of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, it must deal with these three sects, and even need them to surrender to the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
But it just so happens that... Yi Gu is the contemporary leader of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a blood feud with the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
The two major sects, Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect, are ready to make a move. They have already planned to plot the territory of the Seven Nights Sect.
Lin Bai had already vaguely guessed... Li Guxian's request to him might be to persuade Fantian Sect, Baitian Sect, and Qiye Shen Sect to surrender.
After all, if a war breaks out... it will be impossible to defeat Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect in a short period of time.
And the time left for the Nine Nether Demon Palace is actually not very much.
Lin Bai asked curiously: "What do you want me to do?"
Li Guxian saw Lin Bai's contemplative look and immediately smiled and said, "Didn't Senior Brother Dizi have already guessed it?"
"The five forces currently within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."
"Qiye Shenzong, Fantian Sect, and Tianbaizong all have good relations with Senior Brother Dizi. We hope that Senior Brother Dizi can come forward and talk to them."
"Let's see if we can successfully make them surrender without fighting!"
She paused again at this point: "As for the Demon Slayer Alliance, Chunyang Sect, Phoenix Valley and other forces, just leave it to me to deal with them."
Sure enough!...Lin Bai guessed Li Guxian's idea correctly and asked him to come forward to have detailed discussions with Fantian Sect, Worshiping Heaven Sect, and Qiye Shen Sect.
Lin Bai was also thinking about the feasibility of this matter in his heart.
There is no need to say more about the Seven Nights Divine Sect.
Before Lin Bai went to Yongye Pass, he had met Yi Gu of the Seven Nights Sect and learned some things from him.
At present, the senior leaders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect feel that the situation is over, and restoring the sect's glory has become a rhetorical slogan, and it is difficult to take action.
The current Seven Nights Divine Sect just wants to get a piece of territory so that it can settle down and prevent the entire sect from perishing.
After all, the current territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect is borrowed from the Qinglian Sect and is not owned by them.
"If the Seven Nights Divine Sect and Yi Gu want to be in the city, they will definitely want to get a piece of territory as a place for the sect to rest and live!"
Lin Bai roughly guessed the thoughts of Yi Gu, the Seven Nights Divine Sect.
But where should this peaceful place be divided?
This is another big problem.
It is definitely unrealistic to separate the territories from the Fantian Sect, Worshiping Heaven Sect, Qinglian Sect, Phoenix Valley, Chunyang Sect and other sects.
None of his major sects would be willing.
And how big does this territory need to be?
Should it be given to only one small big state, or to several thousand states?
The Seven Nights Divine Sect will never accept the request of several big states or several thousand states. Their request... must be in line with the top sects.
Even if the Seven Nights Divine Sect cannot continue to become a powerful force, it can still maintain a top sect if it wants to.
That would be troublesome.
The territory and territories required by top sects are extremely huge, starting from the size of hundreds of thousands of states.
The current division of forces in the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory was determined through battles over the past hundreds of thousands of years.
These are the territories that the forefathers and ancestors of the major sects fought through bloody battles. How could they be willing to divide them among the Seven Nights Divine Sect?
And it is even more impossible to divide the territory of Jiuyou Demon Palace.
After all, the territory controlled by Jiuyou Demon Palace is not very large now, and it cannot be divided anymore.
"trouble!"
Just the issue of the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect made Lin Bai feel extremely troublesome!
Secondly, there are Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect.
As a veteran sect within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, it has been a top sect for more than tens of thousands of years, and the accumulated heritage and sect powerhouses have reached their peak state.
If the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect join forces, it is not impossible to fight against the Hesheng Sect.
To get him to surrender to the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect would be more difficult than to persuade the Seven Nights Sect to surrender.
Let me ask...are Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect willing to pay homage to Jiuyou Demon Palace?
They obviously don't want to!
Not to mention that the Jiuyou Demon Palace is now notorious in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm. Their sect’s power alone makes them qualified to compete for the throne of the most prosperous sect. How can they be willing to stay under others for a long time?
"The Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect are even more troublesome!!"
Lin Bai couldn't help but shook his head and said to Li Guxian: "What you want me to do is very troublesome."
Li Guxian smiled bitterly and said: "Senior Brother Dizi, don't you think it's troublesome to deal with the Demon Slayer Alliance, Chunyang Sect, and Phoenix Valley?"
"Chun Yang Sect and Phoenix Valley have already made complete preparations to separate themselves from the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"Although I have provoked some fights within them during these times, most of them ended in failure."
"It hasn't shaken their resolve yet."
Lin Bai raised his eyebrows: "Do you still fail?"
Li Guxian shrugged and said helplessly: "Everyone will fail. Failure on some small things is much better than failure on big things."
"At least for the failure of small things, I can still accept the price of its failure."
She continued: "As for the Demon Slayer Alliance, I heard that Senior Brother Dizi met the warriors of the Demon Slayer Alliance before he returned to the Demon Palace."
"Then Senior Brother Dizi should know that this Demon Slayer Alliance is not a simple one. It is a force formed by the ancestors and elders of various large, medium and small family clans in the Eastern Region of the Demon World."
"The leader behind them is even more mysterious."
When it came to the Demon Slayer Alliance, Lin Bai thought for a while and then expressed his guess:
"In the process of contacting the Demon Slayer Alliance, I learned that they have a complete reward and punishment system!"
"This is obviously unrealistic."
"To formulate a complete reward and punishment system, it will inevitably require a large amount of resources and foundation to support it."
"Since the Demon Slayer Alliance is a force brought together by various small, medium and large families and sects in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, and their families and sects are not within the territory of the Seven Nights Sect, it is absolutely impossible to support such a huge reward and punishment system!"
"So I suspect that behind the Demon Slayer Alliance, there may be local forces from the Seven Nights Sect supporting it."
"But which local force it is, I don't know."
"Maybe it's Chunyang Sect, maybe it's Phoenix Valley, maybe it's Qinglian Sect, maybe it's Fantian Sect, it's all possible."
To this, Li Guxian also nodded her head in deep agreement:
"I've also suspected this."
"Perhaps it will be the five top forces of the Seven Nights Sect supporting you, and perhaps there will be shadows of foreign forces as well!"
Foreign forces?... Lin Bai raised his eyebrows and asked with certainty: "Northern Territory?"
Li Guxian smiled and said: "Senior Brother Dizi, don't underestimate the warriors in the Northern Territory. Don't think that they are all fools."
"There are many smart people in the Northern Territory. Since they want to plot the Eastern Territory, it will not be as simple as it seems on the surface!"
"Including the competition between the Eastern Region and the Northern Region on the border. Although the Eastern Region won, the Northern Region was not so easy to admit defeat."
"It's just that the victory of the Eastern Region will make it easier for us to use our methods. After all, we are the victor!"
According to Li Guxian's speculation, she suspected that the resource supplier behind the Demon Slayer Alliance was a warrior from the Northern Territory.
Lin Bai thought about it carefully and could not rule out this possibility.
On the contrary, Lin Bai thought that Li Guxian considered things very comprehensively and could often consider things that Lin Bai could not think of at all.
After some analysis, Li Guxian said: "So, the pressure on my side is completely less than the pressure on Brother Dizi when he faces the Heaven-Worship Sect, Fantian Sect, and Seven Nights Sect."
"Of course."
"I will deal with Chunyang Sect, Phoenix Valley, and the Demon Slayer Alliance; Senior Brother Dizi will deal with Fantian Sect, Worshiping Heaven Sect, and Qiye Shen Sect."
"The warriors inside the Demon Palace are not idle either. They are ready for war at any time!"
"After all, the Demon Palace is bound to win the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect. If it can be ended through peace talks, that would naturally be the best."
"But if we can't reach an agreement, then we will have no choice but to go to war!"
Lin Bai suddenly narrowed his eyes. Li Guxian suddenly mentioned the war, which was obviously a reminder to him.
If Lin Bai cannot make the Baitian Sect, Fantian Sect, and Qiye Shen Sect surrender smoothly, then a war will begin in the Jiuyou Demon Palace.
Lin Bai frowned and asked: "If the Nine Nether Demon Palace declares war on the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, is it possible that the Fantian Sect, the Worshiping Sect, the Chunyang Sect, the Phoenix Valley, the Demon Slayer Alliance and other forces will be forced to jump over the wall and make them jump over the wall?
What about uniting together?”
"You can't rule out the possibility, right?"
"After all, the Demon Palace is now isolated and helpless. Wansheng Mountain and the State of Chu will never send troops to help the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"As for the five top forces within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect plus a Demon Slayer Alliance, if they are willing to share the same hatred, it will be difficult for the Demon Palace to deal with them, right?"
Lin Bai raised another possibility.
And this possibility is not a lie, but there is a real chance that it will happen.
Although the Nine Nether Demon Palace has rebuilt its mountain gate, it is still in a state of isolation and helplessness.
Although Wansheng Mountain, Chu State, and Qitian Sect all acquiesced to the fact that Jiuyou Demon Palace rebuilt the mountain gate, they did not establish an "offensive and defensive alliance" contract with Jiuyou Demon Palace.
Moreover, the reputation of Jiuyou Demon Palace in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm is very poor, and it is an existence that is despised by almost everyone.
If the Demon Palace declares war on the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, the Fantian Sect, Worshiping Heaven Sect, Chunyang Sect, Phoenix Valley and other forces are likely to form an alliance to drive out the Nine Nether Demon Palace first and then slowly carve up the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect.
Because on the surface, it seems that the Nine Nether Demon Palace is the enemy of the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory, the intruder, and their biggest opponent.
Moreover, it is still the most threatening opponent to them. If possible, they must first eliminate the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
Li Guxian smiled and nodded: "Senior brother Dizi is really thoughtful and can take this into consideration."
"So, it is best that we can complete this matter through peace talks."
"Even if we can't get all the forces to surrender, at least we have to win over a few allies."
Lin Bai understood what Li Guxian meant. To put it simply... win over as many people as you can.
"But... what if in the end, none of us win over each other?"
Lin Bai asked again: "Does the Demon Palace have an emergency plan for this?"
Li Guxian looked solemn and said: "Of course there is a plan, but we don't expect it to go any further."
In other words, even if both Lin Bai and Li Guxian failed in the end and the Demon Palace declared war on the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect and conquered this territory with blood and screams in the form of a crusade, the Demon Palace would still have a certain degree of confidence.
Hearing that the Demon Palace had an emergency plan for this, Lin Bai didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, I'm going to visit the three major sects including Qiye Shen Sect, Fantian Sect, and Baitian Sect."
"But I can't guarantee that it will work out."
"I even think... the possibility of failure is very high!"
Li Guxian nodded and said: "No matter whether we can succeed or not, we need to try our best."
"Otherwise, once a war breaks out, this war will last for who knows how many years."
Lin Bai nodded and said: "Then I'll set off immediately. Anyway, there aren't many things in the Demon Palace that I need to deal with at the moment."
Li Guxian nodded and said: "This is best, then we will wait for the good news from Brother Dizi."
"If during the interview with Fantian Sect, Worshiping Heaven Sect, or Qiye Shen Sect, they make any request, if Senior Brother Dizi feels that it is not too much, they can agree to it."
"Of course, if it's something too extreme, then we have to talk about it again."
Lin Bai nodded slightly to agree, and discussed with Yao Daogu, Zhao Fengxia and Li Guxian.
Then Lin Bai took Mr. Wen and Daozi Yuyou to visit the three holy elders in the Demon Palace, explained the reason, and only left the Demon Palace after getting the permission of the saint elders.
When he left this time, Lin Bai did not take the Second God Son, the Third God Son, and a large number of high-level warriors from the Nine Nether Demon Palace, but only left with Mr. Wen and Daoist disciple Yu You.
There was no big fanfare on the road, but traces were hidden to avoid being caught by the Demon Slayer Alliance and entangled endlessly.
As for the internal affairs of the Demon Palace, they are naturally handled by the three Holy Elders and the Council of Elders. If anything goes wrong, the Master of the Demon Palace will inevitably come forward.
Although the Master of the Demon Palace does not appear in the Demon Palace all year round, when he is in Jiuyou City, he has his sanctuary.
Ordinary Jiuyou Demon Palace warriors may think that the Demon Palace Master does not care about the Demon Palace, but in fact, every choice made by the Demon Palace can only be executed with the approval of the Demon Palace Master.
Now that the Jiuyou Demon Palace has rebuilt the mountain gate, it must be within the headquarters of the Demon Palace, and there is also the sanctuary of the Palace Master. His spiritual thoughts must be lingering around here!
Even the conversation between Lin Bai and Li Guxian in the Imperial Palace may have been under the watchful eye of the Lord of the Demon Palace.
