Chapter 7391 Local forces!
Where do the Demon Slayer Alliance’s foundation and resources come from?
This is something that makes Lin Bai puzzled.
The Demon Slayer Alliance has a complete and detailed bounty system, which requires huge resources and foundation to support it.
Similar to the bounty system, the Nine Nether Demon Palace also exists, in order to encourage and stimulate the disciples to kill the enemy bravely.
However, Jiuyou Demon Palace has enough foundation, and the contribution points obtained by its disciples from bravely killing enemies can be smoothly exchanged for needed items and resources.
But where do the Demon Slayer Alliance’s foundation and resources come from?
Could it be that the families and sects behind these warriors from other realms provided them?
But this is unlikely.
These families and sects sent strong men to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, originally to take advantage of the situation, and it was impossible to move the treasure troves of the entire family and sect here.
Lin Bai's thoughts slowly dispersed, his brows became tighter and tighter, and he touched his chin in contemplation!
"Are there local forces in the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory secretly supporting the Demon Slayer Alliance?"
"The local force of the Seven Nights Divine Sect has extremely deep foundation and resources, and the leader of the Demon Slayer Alliance is obviously hiding his identity by wearing a demon mask."
"His true identity is probably one of the strong men of this local force!"
"Then who will this local force be?"
"Fan Tian Sect or Worshiping Heaven Sect? Chunyang Sect or Phoenix Valley? Or is it the Qinglian Sect that has always remained neutral?"
After thinking about it, Lin Bai felt it was possible.
The Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect originally wanted to seize the opportunity to seize the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect. They secretly supported the Nine Nether Demon Palace and made the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect increasingly chaotic. They also specifically targeted the Nine Nether Demon Palace, which is reasonable.
Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley have long been dissatisfied with being subordinate to Jiuyou Demon Palace, and have already turned against them.
It is also possible that they secretly recruit other powerful people from other areas who have come to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect to fight against the Nine Nether Demon Palace and increase their strength.
The Qinglian Sect does not rule out this possibility. After all, they have not participated in any battles so far, and the sect's background has not been exposed at all. They can devote enough resources and knowledge to support the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
"The Seven Nights Divine Sect is not excluded either."
"Although the Seven Nights Divine Sect has been destroyed, the warriors who escaped also brought with them most of their knowledge."
"But their chances are minimal."
"After all, this group of wolves and tigers from the Demon Slayer Alliance warriors originally came for this territory."
"This will naturally make you the enemy of the Seven Nights Sect!"
Since he couldn't think clearly, Lin Bai decided to try asking, maybe he could get some information.
Lin Bai asked curiously: "Where do your resources come from?"
The spirit of the Hunyuan Daoguo realm warrior suddenly tightened, he shook his head hurriedly, and said repeatedly:
"I don't know."
After he finished speaking, he was afraid that Lin Bai would become angry and kill his soul with one palm, so he added:
"I really don't know."
"There is a unique communication method within the Demon Slayer Alliance. You only need to set up a magic circle to contact the headquarters."
"We complete tasks, obtain contribution points, and redeem treasures in the same way!"
"After we exchange the treasures, they will send people to deliver the treasures to the nearest city and let us go there to collect them."
This is troublesome! ... Lin Bai shook his head and felt a little headache.
There is no way to trace the operation of the Demon Slayer Alliance. Even if we trace the locations where these warriors received their treasures, we can only capture a few of the soldiers they interacted with. There is no way to trace the forces behind the Demon Slayer Alliance.
"It seems that this Demon Slayer Alliance is really not that simple!"
Lin Bai sighed softly in his heart and asked again:
"Do you have anything else to add?"
The spirit of the Hunyuan Daoguo warrior suddenly changed, and he hurriedly told some news about the Demon Slayer Alliance.
But these news were neither painful nor unpleasant, and could not attract Lin Bai's attention.
Lin Bai moved his lips slightly a few times, but did not make any sound. He secretly transmitted the message to Mr. Wen.
After hearing Lin Bai's message, Mr. Wen nodded slightly and silently walked to the soul of the Hunyuan Daoguo warrior.
"Emperor Lin Bai!"
"I have said what I have to say, and you promised to let me go."
"Emperor Lin Bai..."
Before he could finish his shout, Mr. Wen had already walked up to Shenhun and stretched out his hand to give him a firm squeeze.
He almost crushed the soul of the Hunyuan Daoguo warrior to pieces.
Fortunately, Mr. Wen deliberately controlled the power and did not directly crush the soul. He only weakened the power of the soul a lot again.
Weakened enough...enough for Lin Bai to use the soul-searching secret technique!
"For warriors with a higher level of cultivation than me, the negative impact of using the soul-searching secret method is greater."
“And it’s easier to be counterattacked!”
"But there is no problem now. Mr. Wen has already killed this soul, so there should be no problem in searching for the soul."
Lin Bai was thinking in his heart as he stood up from the chair and walked towards the soul that had no ability to react.
The next moment, under the gazes of Mr. Wen, the Second God Son, the Third God Son, Daozi Yu You, and many high-level warriors from the Nine Nether Demon Palace, Lin Bai slowly stretched out his palm.
A burst of dark light suddenly filled his palm, covering the whole palm.
The dark palm slowly grasped the top of the soul's head, and the secret soul-searching method was activated immediately.
The memories of this Hunyuan Daoguo realm warrior's life flashed through Lin Bai's mind quickly like comic strips.
"This is..."
"The power of the Holy King!"
The second and third divine sons, Taoist disciple Yu You, and many high-level warriors from the Nine Nether Demon Palace present were stunned when they saw this.
As high-level warriors of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, as the Son of God and the Son of Dao in the nine major temples of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, they were naturally familiar with the Holy Lord's classics.
They knew very well that a large part of the reason why the Nine Nether Demon Palace expanded so powerfully in a short period of time to dominate the eastern region of the demon world a hundred thousand years ago was that the Holy Lord had a strange ability.
The Holy Lord's ability allows him to directly read the memory of any warrior, and obtain inherited Taoism, information, secret knowledge, and everything he wants from their memory.
With the ability of the Holy Lord, the Jiuyou Demon Palace, which was not very powerful at the time, was able to obtain a large number of magical passages, wonderful knowledge, various magical circles, pills, etc. in a short period of time.
In just a few hundred years, the Nine Nether Demon Palace expanded enough to compete with the most powerful forces, and finally almost unified the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm.
Originally, both the Second Son of God and the Third Son of God felt that this was a deliberate exaggeration of the power of the Holy Lord in the classics, highlighting the power of the Holy Lord.
A bit misnamed.
But now...witnessing Lin Bai use this ability with his own eyes made the Second God Son, the Third God Son, and all the Nine Nether Demon Palace warriors present stunned.
It turns out that this power really exists!
Even Mr. Wen, who was Lin Bai's old servant, couldn't help but change his face slightly. This was the first time that Lin Bai showed such power in front of him.
Under the stunned gazes of all the warriors present, Lin Bai spent about a moment watching the life of this Hunyuan Daoguo warrior.
Naturally, he also got his identity, the techniques he practiced, the treasures he owned, etc.
Lin Bai also confirmed from this...the Hunyuan Daoguo warrior did not lie just now.
It is true that he comes from the territory of Halloween Mountain, from the Yuan family of Halloween Mountain, and it is true that he has never met the leader of the Demon Slayer Alliance.
The leader of the Demon Slayer Alliance does indeed wear a demon mask.
In addition, Lin Bai was completely uninterested in the cultivation techniques inherited by their Yuan family and simply threw them behind him. "Sure enough."
"The soul-searching secret method is also useful for the body of the soul."
The reason why Lin Bai wanted to use the soul-searching secret method here was to determine whether this secret method was useful for the soul.
After all, Lin Bai had never made such an attempt before.
When Lin Bai let go of the soul and the black light on his palm disappeared, the soul disappeared in an instant.
"Collapsed?"
"Dead!"
"Sure enough, the body of the soul is still too fragile, even the soul of the Hunyuan Dao Fruit is still very fragile!"
"But that's right, after all, this soul was almost crushed to death by Mr. Wen just now!"
Faced with the demise of the Hunyuan Dao Fruit Soul, Lin Bai felt a little surprised. He knew that the soul was very fragile, but he did not expect that the warrior soul in the Hunyuan Dao Fruit realm was also so fragile.
Lin Bai then turned to look at the injured group of Jiuyou Guards, and said lightly:
"Your team has suffered heavy losses and is no longer suitable for patrolling this territory. Go back and reorganize."
The seriously injured Nine Nether Guard warriors knelt down on one knee and responded:
"Thank you, Emperor!"
"We have already asked for help from the headquarters, and other brothers from the Nine Nether Guards will come to take over our work later."
Lin Bai nodded and ordered Yunzhou to continue sailing.
The Nine Nether Demon Palace dispatched the Nine Nether Guards to quickly build outposts in the surrounding areas. This was obviously a wise move.
If not, the Demon Slayer Alliance warriors might have arrived at the door, and the Nine Nether Demon Palace would not even know about it yet.
……
After experiencing this incident, if you go forward, you will directly enter the area covered by the forces of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
Along the way, you can see many Jiuyou guards patrolling the territory, but they did not encounter any danger.
Two or three days later, after crossing several major states again, Yunzhou, where Lin Bai and others were, finally returned to the headquarters of Jiuyou Demon Palace within Huanglong Qianzhou.
The First Son of God and He Gongji set off much earlier than Lin Bai and others, and had already returned to the headquarters.
After emerging from the underground of Jiuyou City, Jiuyou Demon Palace did not significantly change its internal system.
Under the current situation where the master of the Nine Nether Demon Palace is unrealistic all year round, the top management of the Nine Nether Demon Palace is still controlled by three holy elders, and the Elders Council discusses and makes major decisions.
The geniuses cultivated within the Demon Palace are still in the form of the Nine Temples.
Yunzhou slowly approached the headquarters of the Demon Palace. Lin Bai saw at a glance a total of ten islands floating in the sky above the headquarters of the Jiuyou Demon Palace.
Nine low and one high.
Those nine islands suspended in mid-air are clearly the nine major temples representing the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
The highest floating island represents the emperor's son of the Nine Nether Demon Palace!
The imperial palace where the emperor's son lived was also on that island.
"It has been many years since you all left the Demon Palace. I think this is the first time you have returned to the new headquarters of the Demon Palace."
"You still need to get familiar with it!"
These words are spoken to the Second Son of God and the Third Son of God.
They are not only the sons of the Second Temple and the Third Temple, but their family also has a considerable status in the Nine Nether Demon Palace. They also need time to become familiar with the new Demon Palace.
Lin Bai took Mr. Wen and Daozi Yuyou directly from the Yunzhou and headed straight for the imperial palace.
"Farewell to the Emperor!"
After bowing to send Lin Bai, Mr. Wen and others away, the Second God Son and the Third God Son entered the Jiuyou Demon Palace one after another, looking for their families and residences.
The Second Son of God and the Third Son of God were sent to the Northern Territory many years ago, and this is also the first time they have returned to the new headquarters of the Demon Palace.
……
On the island, there are huge palace complexes.
Lin Bai just glanced at it and judged that this place was similar to the imperial palace in Jiuyou City.
As Lin Bai walked towards the interior of the imperial palace, he ordered Mr. Wen: "Mr. Wen, I want to know all the news in the Southern Territory!"
Mr. Wen originally followed Lin Bai's footsteps. When he heard this, he immediately stopped and responded: "I will make arrangements now."
Lin Bai then said to Daozi Yuyou: "Go and call Li Guxian over and tell her that I want to see her."
Daozi Yu You then stopped. After receiving the order, he immediately left the imperial palace and went to look for Li Guxian.
On the Imperial Palace.
There is a sea of flowers on the southwest side. Lin Bai is sitting on the edge of the suspended island among the flowers, looking down at the busy Jiuyou Demon Palace warriors below.
About half an hour later, Mr. Wen arrived at the imperial palace first with Eternal Elders Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia.
Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia were the first eternal elders in the Nine Nether Demon Palace to support Lin Bai becoming the emperor's son.
Behind them, each also represents a force from the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
Of course, Lin Bai did not delve too deeply into these things, nor did he want to understand them too much.
"Your Majesty, Elders Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia are here."
Mr. Wen responded respectfully.
Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia stood a hundred meters away from Lin Bai, looking at the lonely figure sitting on the edge from a distance.
For some reason, the two of them suddenly felt a sense of awe.
This is not awe for the level of cultivation, but awe for his identity.
It was as if Lin Bai at this moment was the real emperor of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
In other words... now Lin Bai has accepted the identity of the emperor's son of Jiuyou Demon Palace, and has begun to exercise the power of the emperor's son, and at the same time gained the majesty of the emperor's son.
It stands to reason that if Lin Bai was still a little resistant to the emperor of Jiuyou Demon Palace when he was still in Jiuyou City, Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia would never be in awe of Lin Bai.
But at this moment, they looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces became a little complicated.
Lin Bai sat on the edge of the suspended island and did not take the initiative to greet Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia, and there was an immediate silence between them.
After Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia secretly exchanged opinions, they both bowed and clasped their fists in salute:
"I have met the emperor's son."
After hearing the sound, although Lin Bai did not turn around, he made some response:
"You two elders don't need to be polite."
"Sit down first and wait until Goddess Li Guxian arrives."
In this sea of flowers, there are special pavilions, stone benches and other items for entertaining guests or enjoying the scenery.
Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia didn't say much when they saw this. After saying yes, they walked to the stone bench and sat down, waiting patiently.
After the two sat down, they also secretly looked at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai was sitting on the edge of the suspended island, his hair and robes were fluttering in the strong wind, but his figure was as steady as a mountain.
Zhao Fengxia sighed softly and whispered to Yao Daogu: "Now he is more like an emperor's son!"
