However, Lin Bai also learned about the origin of Phoenix Valley and Jiuyou Demon Palace from the narration of the master of Phoenix Valley.
"It turns out that the founder of Phoenix Valley was one of the warriors who followed the Holy Lord to conquer the world. However, it seems that the founder of Phoenix Valley was not considered the top fighting force in the Nine Nether Demon Palace at that time."
"It should be a figure second only to the Holy Lord and the Nine Divine Sons. Otherwise, if the founder of Phoenix Valley has reached the level of the Nine Divine Sons, he should not leave the Nine Nether Demon Palace easily."
After his thoughts gradually dispersed, Lin Bai connected the cause and effect:
"The founder of the Phoenix Valley should have realized that the Nine Nether Demon Palace was an enemy and would end badly, so he thought of leaving the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"Maybe at that time, the Nine Nether Demon Palace also saw that there was something wrong with the state of the 'Saint Lord', because the Holy Lord was in a 'half-crazy' state in his later years, so the Nine Nether Demon Palace also deliberately left some backup preparations for itself.
.”
"In this way, the founder of Phoenix Valley intended to leave, and Jiuyou Demon Palace facilitated the move and agreed to the request of the founder of Phoenix Valley."
"And also gave them the Feng Shui treasure land of the 'Phoenix Valley' in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect as the mountain gate territory."
"Things may be a little different from what I imagined, but the difference is definitely not too big."
What happened one hundred thousand years ago is, after all, too long ago. Even for a Taoist warrior, it is considered a relatively long history.
In the past years, the loss of some classics and the different opinions from the outside world have made it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
All this was Lin Bai's speculation, but he felt that his speculation should be close to the truth.
Lin Bai didn't want to dwell on this kind of thing, and he didn't want to waste time looking for any evidence. After all, the most important thing now was to deal with the current matter.
"When did the leader of the Phoenix Valley say that these things are not good? At this time, he suddenly mentioned the connection between the Phoenix Valley and the Nine Nether Demon Palace. What does this mean?"
Lin Bai didn't believe that the leader of the Phoenix Valley talked about it casually, he must have done it intentionally.
So what is his purpose?
"Is Phoenix Valley seeing that Jiuyou Demon Palace is going to kill Chunyang Sect? Phoenix Valley is worried that they will become the next Chunyang Sect?"
"So now you are specifically mentioning the relationship between Phoenix Valley and Jiuyou Demon Palace to show your favor to me?"
"Um."
"This is a sign of goodwill to me."
Lin Bai gradually understood the Phoenix Valley Sect Master's intention, and his thoughts rippled in his heart:
"Goddess Li Guxian continuously assassinated a large number of powerful figures in the Chunyang Sect in the Chunyang Sect, and these people were once famous in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect and had great reputation in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."
"Although the death of a few high-level warriors will greatly damage the vitality of Chunyang Sect, it is far from being destroyed."
"But the death of such a very famous warrior will cause different opinions among the warriors in the world. They will intentionally favor the power and sect of Chunyang Sect, and they will also think that Chunyang Sect is no longer able to resist the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"This is the effect I want."
When Lin Bai thought of this, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he picked up the wine glass to hide the smile skillfully.
"This is like when two armies are confronting each other, and the commander-in-chief and general of the other side's army are assassinated one by one."
"Although the soldiers are still intact and still capable of fighting, the assassination of the commander-in-chief and general will give people a feeling that 'the situation is over'!"
"And the Chunyang Sect will soon find out... we cannot blindly let the Nine Nether Demon Palace assassinate high-level warriors. This will make them lose their military morale and the people's support."
"But Chunyang Sect is not the Chu State, and it is not a force based on the army. If it were Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue, they would immediately understand what Li Guxian was doing."
"The Chunyang Sect will discover the intentions of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, but it will be very slow and it will take some time."
"In the time it took Chunyang Sect to react, it was Li Guxian who created the opportunity for me, which gave me the ability to convince Phoenix Valley!"
This is basically the strategy that Lin Bai and Li Guxian discussed after they conspired. This is why Li Guxian and Lin Bai need to cooperate with each other in their actions in Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley respectively.
Because the top leaders of the Chunyang Sect were assassinated, the news spread, morale was lost, and the allies were frightened.
The time between Chunyang Sect's reaction and response is Lin Bai's best opportunity to take action.
…
In the palace surrounded by hanging ink gauze curtains, the master of the Phoenix Valley removed the dancing girl and started chatting with Lin Bai with a smile.
After Lin Bai understood what the Phoenix Valley Sect Leader meant, he replied with a slight smile on his face:
"That's natural."
"In the final analysis, both Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect are the branches of the Demon Palace."
"We are of the same blood, we are all brothers!"
When the feminine Phoenix Valley Sect Master heard this, the smile on his face froze slightly.
His eyes moved shrewdly, thinking deeply about the profound meaning of Lin Bai's words.
"What's this?"
"Is this telling me that... Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley are both branches of the Demon Palace, and they are both born from the same lineage, but now Jiuyou Demon Palace is trying to kill Chunyang Sect?"
"Is this reminding me that even if we are of the same lineage, if we disobey the wishes of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, we will still show no mercy?"
"The fate of Chunyang Sect today will be the fate of Phoenix Valley tomorrow?"
The leader of the Phoenix Valley couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He understood the implication of Lin Bai's words.
They keep saying that they are born from the same lineage, but the Jiuyou Demon Palace is now constantly assassinating the top leaders of Chunyang Sect. How does this look like they are born from the same lineage?
The Phoenix Valley Sect Master quickly calmed down his surging thoughts, remained focused and calm, and thought about the next countermeasures.
"Speaking of which, the Demon Palace rebuilt the mountain gate in Huanglong Qianzhou. I, Phoenix Valley, have not gone to congratulate it yet."
"It just so happened that Emperor Lin Bai came to Phoenix Valley this time, so I prepared some small gifts to help the Demon Palace rebuild the mountain gate."
"I would also like to trouble Emperor Lin Bai to work harder and bring these things back to the Demon Palace!"
Lin Bai raised his eyebrows when he heard this and smiled secretly in his heart.
This is showing weakness.
When the Nine Nether Demon Palace rebuilt the mountain gate, it caused great commotion and was opposed by warriors all over the world.
Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley were already rebelling, so it was naturally impossible for them to congratulate the Demon Palace for rebuilding the mountain gate.
But now they took the initiative to bring up a congratulatory gift, not to mention what the congratulatory gift from Phoenix Valley was, but the fact that they had this intention was enough to show that they were showing weakness.
"The noise Li Guxian created in Chunyang Sect is really useful."
"It's also because we planned well and made the right move at the right time. It just so happened that I came to Phoenix Valley at the right time."
"Phoenix Valley now has to bow its head and show weakness."
"Not to mention whether Phoenix Valley's show of weakness by lowering its head is sincere or fake, but as long as they take this action, it will be easy to handle."
Lin Bai turned to look at the Phoenix Valley Sect Master while holding the wine glass, and said with a smile:
"The Demon Palace has been waiting for the congratulatory gift from Phoenix Valley, but... I wonder if the congratulatory gift from Phoenix Valley includes the surrender of Phoenix Valley?"
The leader of the Phoenix Valley suddenly fell silent upon hearing this, and did not answer Lin Bai's words for a long time.
Lin Bai ignored the Phoenix Valley Sect Master and immediately said with all his firepower:
"Since Phoenix Valley and Jiuyou Demon Palace are of the same lineage, over the past hundred thousand years, Phoenix Valley has received many benefits from the Demon Palace, so that it can secure its position as the top force in Phoenix Valley."
"Now that the Demon Palace has reappeared in the world, as a branch of the Demon Palace, shouldn't we return to the Demon Palace's command?"
Lin Bai looked at the Phoenix Valley Sect Master and asked with a smile: "Sir, what do you think?"
The leader of Phoenix Valley nodded with a smile, looking at the elders of Phoenix Valley intentionally or unintentionally.
I saw that the elders of Phoenix Valley also lowered their heads, stopped talking, and had gloomy faces, not knowing what they were thinking.
The leader of the Phoenix Valley took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice:
"We, Phoenix Valley, have never publicly announced our departure from the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"We, Phoenix Valley, have always been an integral part of the Nine Nether Demon Palace. What does Emperor Lin Bai mean by these words?"
He started to act like a hooligan, and operated normally... Lin Bai laughed in his heart, understanding that the master of the Phoenix Valley started to act like a rogue and muddy.
"Phoenix Valley has indeed never announced its departure from the Nine Nether Demon Palace, but Phoenix Valley has also never announced its return to the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
The leader of the Phoenix Valley thought for a moment with a gloomy expression and replied:
"We believe that given the current situation in the Demon Palace, it may be more beneficial to the Demon Palace if we stay in the dark."
"It's okay to wait until the situation in the Demon Palace has completely stabilized before we announce our return."
"If the Demonic Palace cannot settle down, at least there is Phoenix Valley as a visible guarantee, and the Demonic Palace will not be encircled and suppressed by many forces and end up in the same miserable situation as it was a hundred thousand years ago."
"Emperor Lin Bai, what do you think?"
What he said was better than what he sang!... Lin Bai chuckled twice, full of contempt and disdain for what the Phoenix Valley Sect Master said.
From a literal point of view, there is nothing wrong with what the Phoenix Valley Sect Master did, and he was considering everything for the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
If the Demon Palace cannot be stabilized and is opposed by warriors from all over the Demon Realm, it may even be encircled and suppressed, and unfortunately it will be destroyed again.
At that time, Phoenix Valley will definitely stand up and secretly protect the warriors of Jiuyou Demon Palace from the massacre a hundred thousand years ago.
This is definitely a good thing.
Having another escape route would also be good for the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
But these words have another meaning...that is, Phoenix Valley can always pay attention to the situation. It is like a grass on the wall, which way the wind blows, it will fall that way.
If the situation is favorable to the Nine Nether Demon Palace, then Phoenix Valley will naturally return to the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
If the situation is not favorable to the Nine Nether Demon Palace, Phoenix Valley might even add insult to injury.
Lin Bai chuckled and said, "It seems that I misunderstood the sect master."
"With these words from the sect leader, I will feel relieved."
"Come on, come on, have a drink!"
He didn't say any more, but invited the Phoenix Valley Sect Master to have a drink.
When the Phoenix Valley Sect Master heard this, he looked happy, thinking that he had fooled Lin Bai.
He couldn't help but feel happy: "In this way, we can take a good look at the situation."
"Let's also take a look at Chunyang Sect's actions and see if Chunyang Sect has any follow-up measures."
"If Chunyang Sect really has no power to fight back against Jiuyou Demon Palace, then we will take advantage of the situation and return to Jiuyou Demon Palace. If Chunyang Sect still has the power to resist, Jiuyou Demon Palace will not be able to capture Chunyang
Zong, maybe our alliance can still be maintained!"
"Time!"
"It takes time now!"
The leader of Phoenix Valley smiled and drank with Lin Bai.
After having a drink, Lin Bai looked at the scenery of Phoenix Valley outside and couldn't help but smile:
"When I first arrived in Phoenix Valley, I was really dazzled by the beautiful scenery here. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to stay in Phoenix Valley for a while?"
"Of course."
The master of Phoenix Valley agreed immediately. He hoped that Lin Bai would live in Phoenix Valley until the situation in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect was stabilized.
After all, Lin Bai's status in Jiuyou Demon Palace is extraordinary. If Jiuyou Demon Palace wants to attack Phoenix Valley, Phoenix Valley can take Lin Bai down and use Lin Bai as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Jiuyou Demon Palace.
Therefore, when he heard that Lin Bai wanted to live there, the Phoenix Valley Sect Master agreed immediately and immediately arranged a place for Lin Bai and the warriors of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
After the banquet, Lin Bai and the warriors from the Nine Nether Demon Palace temporarily lived in the Phoenix Valley under the arrangement of the master of the Phoenix Valley.
And Phoenix Valley did arrange a picturesque mountain peak for Lin Bai and others to live.
Arriving at the mountain peak where he lived, Lin Bai took a look at the outside world. In the Phoenix Valley, clouds covered the fog, white cranes flew, and the splendid mountains and rivers seemed to reflect the prosperous age.
After arriving at the residence, Mr. Wen drove all the Phoenix Valley warriors out and set up an "interference array" in the residence to ensure that Phoenix Valley would not use other means to eavesdrop on the conversation between Lin Bai and Mr. Wen.
After Mr. Wen made arrangements, he walked behind Lin Bai.
Lin Bai closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows, and whispered to Mr. Wen:
"When will the masters of the Nine Nether Demon Palace enter the territory of Phoenix Valley?"
In previous discussions with Li Guxian, Li Guxian had said...that a group of strong men would go to the Phoenix Valley territory in order to coordinate Lin Bai's plan in the Phoenix Valley.
At the banquet just now, the master of the Phoenix Valley spoke impeccably, and every word he spoke was considered for the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
Lin Bai really couldn't find a way to refute the Phoenix Valley Sect Leader, so he could only use external force to suppress him at this moment.
Mr. Wen said softly: "After all, the number of powerful people arranged by Goddess Li Guxian is extremely large. It is not easy for large-scale powerful people to cross the border."
"And currently, in the void surrounding the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, especially in the void of Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect, there are originally experts from their two sects monitoring it."
"So it's not easy to use the void to come."
"These warriors can only come to the Phoenix Valley territory through the teleportation array within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, or through other means."
"This will take some time."
Lin Bai turned back to Mr. Wen and asked curiously:
"How many powerful people did Li Guxian mobilize?"
He knew that Li Guxian had mobilized some powerful people to come to Phoenix Valley to support Lin Bai, but the specific number was not clearly revealed in the meeting at that time.
After the meeting, Li Guxian returned to the real world. After careful thinking and calculation, she began to recruit experts.
Therefore, Lin Bai did not know much about the number of masters in the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
However, the experts who were mobilized to support Lin Bai later got in touch with Mr. Wen, and Mr. Wen initially grasped their number and strength.
Mr. Wen thought carefully and replied in a firm and confident voice:
"Seven warriors of the Supreme Dao Fruit Realm, fifteen warriors of the Chaos Dao Fruit Realm, and twenty-one warriors of the Hunyuan Dao Fruit Realm."
"There are estimated to be two to three hundred warriors in the Daluo Daoguo realm and Taiyi Daoguo realm warriors in total."
"The 'Nightmare Legion' formed by Dao realm warriors has mobilized three battalions, approximately 30,000 people."
After hearing the number of strong men selected by Li Guxian, Lin Bai's expression gradually lost control and his mouth opened a little bit.
The foundation of the Nine Nether Demon Palace is stronger than Lin Bai imagined! The Supreme Daoguo Realm warriors can mobilize seven people to come to Phoenix Valley!
