"Originally, my sister and Lord Shenxian came here in person, but the geniuses from Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect suddenly came to visit today, so they had to fool them!"
"And we have received the order to withdraw our troops. After attending the wedding of the Holy Son of the Fantian Sect and the Holy Son of the Baitian Sect, we will withdraw from the territory of the Seven Nights Sect."
"Brother-in-law, with the news that Meng Qinxian, the Holy Son of the Fantian Sect, and the Holy Son of the Baitian Sect are getting married on the same day, your Jiuyou Demon Palace should also have received invitations, right?"
Chu Zimo's small mouth revealed a lot of news, which made Lin Bai a little stunned for a while.
Chu State finally ordered its troops to withdraw?
Originally, Chu Zimo, Chu Tinghan, Chu Tingxue, and Princess Shenxian led nearly 20 to 30 million troops from Prince Liang's Mansion and Prince Hong's Mansion into the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, just to rescue the Seven Nights Divine Sect.
Unfortunately, before they could reach the capital of the Seven Nights Sect, the Seven Nights Sect was quickly destroyed by the Chunyang Sect and the Phoenix Valley.
The fire warriors of the Seven Nights Divine Sect had to flee.
The Qiye Shenzong was destroyed, so there was no need for the reinforcements from Chu to move forward.
But for some unknown reason, the Chu State did not order the reinforcements to retreat. Instead, they asked them to find a place to station themselves within the Seven Nights Sect and wait for subsequent orders.
According to Lin Bai's previous calculations... Chu State's aid to the Seven Nights Sect this time has two purposes.
The first goal is that they are really here to aid the Seven Nights Sect.
As a prosperous sect that had signed an "Offensive and Defensive Alliance", facing the Seven Nights Divine Sect's request for help, Wansheng Mountain, Chu State, and Qitian Sect had no reason to refuse.
Therefore, Lin Bai believed that...in the first moment, Chu State, Wansheng Mountain, and Qitian Sect all sincerely wanted to help the Seven Nights Sect overcome the difficulties, so they each sent troops and missions into the territory of the Seven Nights Sect.
For the Chu State, when they saw that it was hopeless to aid the Seven Nights Sect, they had to start their second goal.
That is to take the opportunity to seize the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect.
After the collapse of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, there was no visible power, and the entire territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect was considered a lordless land.
Since it is an unclaimed land, everyone can occupy it.
The State of Chu then ordered the troops from Prince Hong's Mansion and Prince Liang's Mansion to be stationed in the territory of the Qiye Shenzong, waiting for follow-up orders.
If there is serious chaos within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, then Chu State will take this opportunity to take over the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect.
pity.
Chu State may not have considered that it was at this moment that a sudden army from the Northern Territory arrived in front of Yongye Pass and Tianya Pass.
When it comes to expanding its territory, Chu State pays more attention to whether it can defend its territory.
Regarding the civil strife in the Eastern Region, Chu State was more worried about the invasion of foreign enemies.
I believe that in the Golden Palace of Emperor Chu at that time, Emperor Chu's think tanks must have carefully thought and discussed, and finally decided to deal with external factors first before approaching the idea of opening up territories.
As a result, Emperor Chu ordered the reinforcements of the Seven Nights Sect to stay in place and wait for follow-up orders. At this time, Chu State focused all its attention on the border.
After the last battle on the frontier, Lin Bai defeated Xiao Junfeng and almost became famous in one battle.
Not only did he become the most dazzling genius in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, but Lin Bai also fought as the emperor's son of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, which also allowed the Nine Nether Demon Palace to be recognized by many warriors from the Eastern Region, eliminating their grudges.
And under the watchful eyes of the three ancient sects, since the Northern Territory was defeated, it would be impossible to invade the Eastern Territory again in a short time.
At least not yet.
Chu State was able to free up its hands to clean up the chaos in the Eastern Region.
But at the same time, without the pressure from the Northern Territory, Wansheng Mountain and Qitian Sect can also free up their hands.
Naturally, Wansheng Mountain and Qitian Sect could see what the Chu State was thinking, so Lin Bai speculated that before the celebration banquet, the senior officials of Wansheng Mountain and Qitian Sect and the Holy Son must have secretly negotiated with Chu State in Tianya Pass.
The State of Chu wants to annex the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, so Wansheng Mountain and the Qitian Sect naturally do not want to see the State of Chu getting bigger and bigger.
Judging from what happened at the celebration banquet later, it seems that Chu's idea was unanimously opposed by Wansheng Mountain and Qitian Sect, and ultimately it was ineffective.
Chu State realized that the idea of quietly annexing the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect was completely unrealistic.
That's why the scene at the Tianya Pass "Celebration Banquet" appeared. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reached an agreement with the Nine Nether Demon Palace, giving the Nine Nether Demon Palace half a year to regain the Seven Nights Sect. If not, Chu State would step in.
Since the State of Chu has temporarily given up the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, there is no reason why the reinforcements remaining here should not be withdrawn.
Even if Chu State is unwilling to withdraw, Jiuyou Demon Palace will ask Chu State to withdraw its reinforcements.
So now Chu Zimo's Prince Liang's Mansion Army and Princess Shen Xian's Prince Hong's Mansion Army have received withdrawal orders from Chu State at the same time.
Lin Bai's mind flashed with thoughts, and he finally connected the events that happened during this period together.
"That's outrageous."
"A small decision can have such a powerful reaction!"
When Lin Bai recalled these things, he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear. He felt like they were walking on thin ice. If they did any small thing wrong, it would very likely lead to disaster.
"My two sisters are here."
While Chu Zimo and Lin Bai were chatting, sounds piercing the sky came from the clouds in the distance.
Under the protection of teams of soldiers, the figures of Chu Tinghan, Chu Tingxue, and Princess Shenxian appeared above the clouds.
Lin Bai could see the expressions of the three women from a distance. Except for Chu Tingxue who had a slight smile on her face, Princess Shenxian and Chu Tinghan both had cold faces and their eyes were as sharp as swords.
They also saw Lin Bai from a distance, but after only one glance, they set their sights on Yi Jinyun on the Yunzhou.
Swish, swish, swish... The escorted soldiers did not approach Yunzhou, but tightly controlled the surroundings. Chu Tinghan, Chu Tingxue, and Princess Shenxian landed directly on Yunzhou.
"Congratulations, Prince Qin, on your beauty!"
Chu Tinghan had just landed, gritting his teeth, he squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
Her eyes kept wandering around Yi Jinyun's body, her eyes constantly showing frost.
Yi Jinyun tried his best to maintain a kind smile on his face, but faced with the pressure of the daughter of the military king, he also felt strong pressure.
They obviously knew each other, even if they were not familiar with each other, they had met several times since Emperor Chu's birthday.
Princess Shenxian, who was wearing a white dress and a beautiful face, had her red lips slightly closed, her eyes were leisurely and sad, but in the end she did not speak.
After Chu Tinghan and Princess Shenxian arrived, Chu Zimo laughed evilly twice, cast a "Brother-in-law, I wish you good luck" look at Lin Bai, and then silently hid aside.
"Everyone, long time no see."
Lin Bai said with a smile.
It has been almost more than a year since Lin Bai was abducted by the warriors of Jiuyou Demon Palace and taken to Jiuyou City.
After a year of separation, this was the first time he saw Chu Tinghan, Princess Shenxian and others.
The last time he returned to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, Lin Bai wanted to visit them, but found that they suddenly left the army and disappeared.
Later, Lin Bai had to go to Yongye Pass, so he never saw him again.
Lin Bai gestured left and right, and Old Wen wisely dismissed all the warriors around him.
Including Yi Gu, Yi Jinse, Yi Jinyun and others, they all retreated to the cabin.
On the entire Yunzhou plywood, only Chu Tinghan, Chu Tingxue, Princess Shenxian, Chu Zimo, and Lin Bai were left.
After everyone dispersed, Princess Shenxian stepped forward with two steps, her eyebrows furrowed, and she asked in confusion:
"What's going on?"
Lin Bai sighed bitterly: "Can't you see this? It's a forced political marriage."
The murderous intent in Chu Tinghan's eyes still did not dissipate. After hearing this, Princess Shenxian nodded thoughtfully.
Chu Tingxue said with a smile: "Whether it was because the First Son of God spoke abruptly at the Tianya Pass celebration banquet, which led to Jiuyou Demon Palace and Chu State reaching a verbal agreement to regain the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect within half a year..."
"The sudden invasion of the Qitian Sect's territory by the Southern Territory has made the Jiuyou Demon Palace feel anxious and pressured, and it is eager to stabilize the Qiye Shen Sect's territory."
"But if we want to stabilize the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, we must first regain the other forces within the territory."
"Then the Nine Nether Demon Palace must have reached some kind of agreement with the Seven Nights Divine Sect, allowing the Seven Nights Divine Sect to surrender to the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"but……"
When Chu Tingxue said this, she chuckled and said: "After all, the agreement with Jiuyou Demon Palace was completed by Brother Lin."
"The Seven Nights Divine Sect must not dare to trust Brother Lin at all, so they had to come up with the idea of marriage and completely tie Lin Bai to their ship."
"This is a very simple political method, and it is also the most effective political method!"
Lin Bai glanced at Chu Tingxue twice. He also felt a little afraid of this woman.
After all, in Lin Bai's mind, one of the two smartest women in the entire Eastern Demon Realm is Li Guxian of Jiuyou Demon Palace, who single-handedly directed the drama of rebuilding the mountain gate of Jiuyou Demon Palace; the other is this
Chu Tingxue was good at arranging troops and attacking cities and territories.
Both of these women are extremely smart, but their intelligence is in different fields.
Li Guxian was in charge of the layout, while Chu Tingxue was in charge of conquering the city.
"Princess Tingxue is really smart as ice and snow!"
Lin Bai nodded, acquiescing to Chu Tingxue's conjecture.
After hearing this, the murderous look on Chu Tinghan's face dissipated slightly. He walked to Lin Bai in a few steps and said:
"Does it have to be this way?"
"Is there no other better way? Do we have to get married?"
Lin Bai smiled and asked: "Then do you think there is any better way?"
"This..." Chu Tinghan was speechless for a moment. He turned to look at his sister and asked her if there was any other better way.
Chu Tingxue is so smart. Even if he has other ideas in his mind, he doesn't dare to say more at the moment, otherwise he doesn't know how much trouble will be caused.
So when she faced her sister Chu Tinghan's gaze, she could only smile bitterly and shake her head.
Chu Tinghan sighed helplessly when he saw this.
Princess Shenxian did not dwell too much on this matter, but instead asked: "We will return to the Kingdom of Chu after attending the wedding banquet of the Holy Son of Fantian Sect, Meng Qinxian, and the Holy Son of Beitian Sect, Nie Shang.
"
"Prince Qin, will you go back with us?"
Go back?... Lin Bai sighed melancholy, recalling the scenes in Tianya Pass, he shook his head sadly.
"I can't go back."
Lin Bai sighed: "Now all the warriors in the demon world know that I am the emperor's son of the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"Even if I don't recognize this identity, people in the world still see me this way."
"Now I am following you back to the Chu State. Of course, under the protection of the Chu State, I cannot make any mistakes. But once I leave the protection of the Chu State, I don't know how many people will still scold me."
Princess Shenxian and Chu Tinghan were both a little sad when they heard this, and Chu Tinghan said angrily:
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have let you go alone to support the Seven Nights Sect in the first place. If you follow our army, these things will never happen!"
Won't it appear?...Although Lin Bai did not refute Chu Tinghan's words, he also had other thoughts in his heart.
Judging from the fact that Lin Bai has been staying in Jiuyou Demon Palace for more than a year now, he has already discovered... that abducting Lin Bai from Jiuyou Demon Palace is definitely a very important part of Li Guxian's plan.
And making Lin Bai the emperor's son is a link in the Demon Palace's long-term plan.
Because Li Guxian had already calculated that once the Nine Nether Demon Palace rebuilt the mountain gate, based on the demonized image of the Nine Nether Demon Palace by the Eastern Territory warriors over the past 100,000 years, it would be strongly resisted by the entire Eastern Territory warriors.
At this time, someone needs to step forward and make the Nine Nether Demon Palace appear in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm with a new look.
And this person must have a very high prestige in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, be deeply supported by the warriors of the Eastern Demon Realm, and be extremely famous.
The best thing is that it can also be related to Wansheng Mountain, Chu State, Qitian Sect, Qiye Shen Sect, and the top sects in the Eastern Region.
Only the appearance of such a person can ease the resistance in the hearts of the warriors from the Eastern Region after hearing that the Nine Nether Demon Palace rebuilt the mountain gate.
There are not many people who can meet these conditions in the entire Demon Realm Eastern Region, and Lin Bai happens to be one of them.
But the people who can do these things are either the saints of the top sects in the Eastern Region of the Demon World, or they are the geniuses of the most prosperous sects, and there is no way they can easily join the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
On the contrary, Lin Bai, a warrior who came from the lower world and did not belong to the demon world at all, managed to achieve such great fame in the demon world.
This obviously became the best choice for Jiuyou Demon Palace.
Later, when Li Guxian was in the imperial capital, she suddenly discovered that Lin Bai actually possessed the abilities of the Holy Lord of Nine Nether Demon Palace a hundred thousand years ago.
This series of developments made Jiuyou Demon Palace firm in its thoughts and wanted to draw Lin Bai into the Demon Palace.
Even if Lin Bai is unwilling to join the Demon Palace, Jiuyou Demon Palace will use strong methods to force Lin Bai to join the Demon Palace.
So...according to Lin Bai's inference, even if he had not gone to support the Seven Nights Divine Sect alone, the Nine Nether Demon Palace would have found other ways to take Lin Bai away from the reinforcements.
After all, Jiuyou Demon Palace also knew very well that Lin Bai had left the imperial capital of Chu and out of the sight of the powerful presence of the Chu royal family. This was the best time.
