The Holy Son of Fantian Sect, Meng Qinxian, and his newlywed wife Nie He, and the Holy Son of Baitian Sect and his newlywed wife Meng Chungu came to the guest seats one after another to toast.
Not long after, they arrived at the seat of Jiuyou Demon Palace, and Chu Zimo also wisely left early and returned to the seat of Chu Kingdom.
"Brother Lin."
"Nie He, I have met Brother Lin."
Meng Qinxian, the holy son of Fantian Sect, came over with his newlywed wife Nie He, smiled and said hello.
Nie He, who was wearing a phoenix crown, smiled softly, bowed slightly and saluted:
"Nie He has met Brother Lin, heard about Brother Lin for a long time, and finally got to meet him today. He is truly lucky."
When Nie He looked at Lin Bai, his eyes were filled with excitement and excitement.
Especially after the great war between the Eastern Territory and the Northern Territory, Lin Bai's name spread almost throughout the entire Eastern Territory of the Demon Realm.
In this world where "martial arts are respected and strength is respected", Lin Bai became the dream lover of countless women almost overnight.
Although Nie He was a core disciple of the Baitian Sect, during ordinary times, he could only take a look at Lin Bai from a distance and was not qualified to come up and talk to him.
And now she has become the newlywed wife of Meng Qinxian, the holy son of Fantian Sect. Because of the good relationship between Meng Qinxian and Lin Bai, they were able to get acquainted with her.
Lin Bai held the wine glass and said with a smile: "A virtuous couple does not need to be polite."
"Brother Meng, congratulations."
Lin Bai raised his glass and drank it down with the newlyweds Meng Qinxian.
Meng Qinxian said to Lin Bai again: "There are many guests coming and going today. I'm afraid I've neglected Brother Lin a little. Please don't be offended."
"If Brother Lin is not busy, you can stay in Fantian Sect for a few more days. After I have taken care of the things at hand, I can have a drink with Lin Bai!"
Lin Bai smiled and shook his head and said: "The scenery inside Fantian Sect's mountain gate is picturesque. I would like to stay here for a few more days and have some fun."
"But after your wedding, I'm afraid you won't be as peaceful as before."
The smile on Meng Qinxian's face was slightly unnatural, and he squeezed the wine glass gently, looking helpless.
Lin Bai patted Meng Qinxian on the shoulder and chuckled: "You don't have to be so melancholy. At least you and I will still have time to drink in the future."
"Go ahead, there are still many guests, so you don't need to come and take care of me."
Meng Qinxian nodded, and after chatting with Lin Bai for a few words, he took his newlywed wife to toast the next guest.
As soon as the saint son of Fantian Sect, Meng Qinxian, left, the saint son of Baitian Sect, Nie Shang, came over with his newlywed wife, Meng Chungu.
After Nie Shang's introduction, Uncle Meng Chun smiled and saluted Lin Bai: "I have met Emperor Lin Bai. Brother Lin is unparalleled in the world. He is really admirable."
"A virtuous couple does not need to be polite." Lin Bai said the same thing as always, and said to Nie Shang with a smile:
"Brother Nie, congratulations."
Nie Shang also had a happy smile on his face, drank two more drinks with Lin Bai, and then went to entertain other guests.
After the two newlyweds had finished toasting, Chu Zimo also dealt with it for a while, then came to Lin Bai's seat and chatted with Lin Bai.
Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang will definitely be very busy today. After all, the goal of this "political engagement" is not a banquet, but to contact more small and medium-sized families.
So after toasting with the Nine Nether Demon Palace, Seven Nights Divine Sect, Chunyang Sect, Phoenix Valley and other sects, their focus fell on those small and medium-sized family seats.
Whether it was Meng Qinxian or Nie Shang, they stayed longer in the seats of small and medium-sized families and sects than in the seats of Jiuyou Demon Palace and Chunyang Sect.
Chu Zimo sat next to Lin Bai, looked at the actions of Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang, and asked with a smile:
"Brother-in-law, how many small and medium-sized families and sects do you think they can win over?"
Lin Bai drank wine and chuckled:
"Not sure."
"But definitely no less."
"After all, many top forces and sects in the Seven Nights Divine Sect are now wooing small and medium-sized families and sects."
"And these small and medium-sized families and sects also understand that this is one of the few opportunities they have."
"For example, the old man just before the wedding banquet started was very anxious to jump out and confront me. He just wanted to earn some reputation for his family and sect."
Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect put on such a big show, they must have some agenda. The highlight of today's wedding banquet is Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect to win over people's hearts.
Most of the small and medium-sized families who came to attend the wedding banquet had a good impression of the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect.
Therefore, Lin Bai judged that Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect were likely to strengthen their power again after this wedding banquet.
Just then.
Chu Zimo suddenly noticed that at the seats of Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley, there would be warriors running back and forth from time to time, saying something in the ears of Shen Haoyue and Ji Ruoci.
As more and more warriors came with the message, the faces of the Holy Son of Chunyang Sect Shen Haoyue and the Saint of Phoenix Valley Ji Ruoci became increasingly ugly.
Chu Zimo noticed this change in details and asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, what do you think Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley are plotting? Why are there warriors passing messages back and forth to them?"
"Looking at them, it seems like something bad happened."
"Brother-in-law, look, the faces of the two of them are getting uglier and uglier. From the smiles on their faces at the beginning, to the smiles solidifying later, and now their faces are completely livid."
Hearing Chu Zimo's reminder, Lin Bai also raised his head and glanced at the seats of Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley.
He saw Shen Haoyue and Ji Ruoci sitting on the seats with gloomy faces and saying nothing, just as Chu Zimo said.
He didn't drink or eat, he had a cold face, and there seemed to be some panic deep in his eyes.
"It started over there?"
Seeing the changes in the expressions of the two saints and saints, it was not difficult for Lin Bai to guess that Jiuyou Demon Palace's plan against Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley had begun.
Before coming to the Fantian Sect to attend the wedding banquet, Lin Bai learned from the Palace Master and the Holy Elder Duan Mupeng that at the same time as the Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect were getting married, Li Guxian would also pay close attention to the Chunyang Sect and the Phoenix Valley.
Take action.
"I don't know what method Li Guxian used?"
Lin Bai was also very curious about what method Li Guxian planned to use to regain Chunyangzhou and Phoenix Valley.
"Based on the current situation, the best way is to suppress it with force!"
"Could it be said that Jiuyou Demon Palace has begun to attack Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley?"
Lin Bai held the wine glass and remained silent.
Then, Lin Bai secretly winked at Mr. Wen behind him and said via voice:
"Mr. Wen, go and find out some news."
"At the same time, let our warriors from the Demon Palace prepare to leave."
Mr. Wen nodded in agreement and quietly walked out of the main hall.
Not long after.
Mr. Wen came back again, leaned over Lin Bai's ear and said, "Your Majesty, Goddess Li Guxian has started."
"Goddess Li Guxian used the Ma family of Chunyang Sect as her pillar and provoked internal fighting in Chunyang Sect."
"Today, the ancestor of the Ma family personally came forward to launch a mutiny to seize the position of the leader of the Chunyang Sect and control the power of the Chunyang Sect."
"Under the arrangement of Goddess Li Guxian, the Nine Nether Demon Palace fully supports the Ma family to become the ruling family of Chunyang Sect!"
Lin Bai nodded silently, probably guessing what Li Guxian was thinking.
He squinted his eyes and muttered to himself:
"Whether it is Chunyang Sect or Phoenix Valley, although it is a subordinate sect of Jiuyou Demon Palace, it is like a separate rudder."
"But after all, they have been rooted in the territory of the Seven Nights Sect for many years, and they have a rich foundation and many masters."
"It is absolutely impossible to kill both Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley in one go."
"And to destroy a top power, the time, manpower and financial resources required are extremely terrifying."
"If the war lasts for several years or decades, this is definitely not the outcome that Jiuyou Demon Palace wants to see."
"More importantly... once the Nine Nether Demon Palace is contained by Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley in a frontal war, it will give the Fantian Sect, Baitian Sect, Demon Slayer Alliance and other forces an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"This is not something Jiuyou Demon Palace wants to see."
"The best way is to fight quickly!"
Lin Bai's mind was filled with thoughts as he analyzed the plans of Li Guxian and Jiuyou Demon Palace.
"Then if you want to win a quick victory, don't have the idea of destroying Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley."
"It was revealed before that Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley were divided into two major factions."
"One faction belongs to the autonomous faction. They advocate independence and formally break away from the control of Jiuyou Demon Palace and become a completely independent sect."
"One faction is the Demon Palace faction. They advocate submission to the Nine Nether Demon Palace. After all, when Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley were first established, they were subordinate branches of the Nine Nether Demon Palace!"
"Li Guxian's plan is most likely to... support these Chunyang Sect and the Demon Palace factions in the Phoenix Valley, help them defeat their independent factions, and let the Jiuyou Demon Palace regain control of the Chunyang Sect and the Phoenix Valley."
"Although there are risks in doing so, and these demon palace factions may rebel at any time, this is currently a good way to end the war as quickly as possible."
"First end the war between Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley, so that the situation in the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory will gradually stabilize. After the Jiuyou Demon Palace is free, we can slowly deal with Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley!"
Lin Bai thought of the "Ma family" within the Chunyang Sect. At that time, he deliberately provoked internal fighting between the Ma family and the Chunyang Sect, so he asked the Nine Nether Demon Palace to grant the Ma family's prodigy Ma Leiyu the identity of the Chunyang Sect's holy son. .
But later, the Chunyang Sect saw Lin Bai's intention and spent a huge price to let Shen Haoyue reshape his body, restore his cultivation, and become the Holy Son of the Chunyang Sect again.
Li Guxian's plan was similar to Lin Bai's, except that Li Guxian was more brutal and domineering, directly driving the masters of the Nine Nether Demon Palace to strongly support the rise of the Ma family, allowing the Ma family, which was originally a vassal family of the Chunyang Sect, to have the same power as the Chunyang Sect in an instant. Yangzong's power to challenge the family's strength.
Furthermore, the Ma family launched an infighting mutiny within the Chunyang Sect and officially attacked the ruling family of the Chunyang Sect.
When Lin Bai learned from Mr. Wen that the Nine Nether Demon Palace had started taking action, he also understood why Ji Ruoci and Shen Haoyue's faces were so ugly.
"Let the Demon Palace warriors prepare to leave!"
Lin Bai silently sent a message to Mr. Wen: "Let the Holy Elders also prepare to evacuate!"
As soon as his order was passed out, he saw the Holy Son of Chunyang Sect, Shen Haoyue, and the Saint of Phoenix Valley, Ji Ruoci, who were sitting opposite, also getting up one after another, leading the strong men from their respective sects to go straight to the Holy Son of Fantian Sect, Meng Qinxian and He left to pay homage to Nie Shang, the holy son of the Tianzong.
Shen Haoyue and Ji Ruoci came to Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang who were toasting, and said with an apologetic smile:
"Brother Meng, Brother Nie, I'm really sorry. Miss Ji Ruoci and I have important matters to attend to, so we have to leave first."
"Congratulations to both of you on your wedding and your son."
Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang were both stunned when they heard this. The wedding banquet has not officially ended yet, so why did both Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley leave early?
Meng Qinxian frowned and asked: "Brother Shen? Miss Ji Ruoci? Could it be that my Fantian Sect has neglected you two and made you angry?"
"Or...Brother Shen, you still hold grudges against you and are still unwilling to let them go?"
Meng Qinxian grinned: "Hey, we were all too young and energetic at that time, so there were inevitably some frictions and disputes."
"If Brother Shen leaves because of this, then Meng is willing to drink and apologize."
It has to be said that after experiencing these things, Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang have grown a lot to a certain extent.
There used to be some grudges between Meng Qinxian and Shen Haoyue.
Back when he was in the imperial capital of Chu, after Lin Bai made friends with Meng Qinxian, he could tell that Meng Qinxian was extremely disdainful of Shen Haoyue.
Shen Haoyue chuckled and said, "You and I are no longer three years old, so there are still so many grievances that we can't let go of."
"It's just that something really happened now and we have to leave."
Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang looked at each other and could see that something was wrong with Shen Haoyue and Ji Ruoci's expressions. They also guessed that something might have happened, but the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect had not received the news yet.
"In that case, I will send Brother Shen and Miss Ji Ruoci away."
"No need."
Shen Haoyue, the Holy Son of Chunyang Sect, and Ji Ruoci, the Saint of Phoenix Valley, bowed their hands, declined Meng Qinxian's intention to escort them, and then turned around and walked out of the main hall.
After watching the masters from Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley leave, Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang stood side by side, staring at their backs.
Nie Shang whispered: "Something big must have happened, otherwise, Shen Haoyue and Ji Ruoci would not be so anxious to leave."
Meng Qinxian nodded and said: "I will ask the warriors of Fantian Sect to find out."
The two of them had just sent away Shen Haoyue, the Holy Son of Chunyang Sect, and Ji Ruoci, the Saint of Phoenix Valley, when they saw Lin Bai coming over with the warriors from the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
Lin Bai was followed by Mr. Wen, Daozi Yuyou, the Second Divine Son, and all the Jiuyou Demon Palace warriors present at the wedding banquet.
With this look, he obviously meant to leave.
Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang suddenly narrowed their eyes. Shen Haoyue and Ji Ruoci had just left, so Lin Bai was leaving too?
"Brother Meng, Brother Nie, something suddenly happened, so I won't stay for the wedding ceremony."
Lin Bai came over and said hello with a smile.
Meng Qinxian frowned: "Brother Lin and the seniors from Jiuyou Demon Palace are leaving too? Why are you so anxious?"
Lin Bai chuckled and said, "Something suddenly happened, and the Demon Palace asked me to return immediately."
Upon seeing this, Nie Shang suggested, "Then I'll give Brother Lin a ride?"
Lin Bai shook his head and said: "No need, there are a lot of things going on today, you should stay and deal with the things here."
"Farewell."
After saying that, Lin Bai left the main hall with many warriors from the Nine Nether Demon Palace and went straight to the outside world.
Although Lin Bai left, Yi Jinyun did not follow Lin Bai away, but returned to the seat of the Seven Nights Divine Sect.
Yi Gu suddenly asked in confusion: "Second sister, why did Brother Lin leave so suddenly?"
Yi Jinyun's face was a little gloomy and he whispered: "I don't know."
"I originally wanted to leave with him, but he said... this trip was dangerous, so he asked me to follow the Seven Nights Divine Sect back to the capital territory first, and then pick me up after he had finished handling the matter."
