Chapter 7392: Will "God" bleed too?
Rao is Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia, who are the eternal elders. Not only do they hold high-level positions in the Demon Palace, but the families behind them also have an extraordinary status in the Demon Palace.
It is no exaggeration to say... they are actually one of the leaders of the Demon Palace.
But even so, when they met Lin Bai, whose cultivation level was lower than theirs, they were still shocked by the "emperor's son" aura on him.
This does not come from fear of strength, but from fear of the "Holy King" a hundred thousand years ago.
To put it simply... Lin Bai had the honor of the Saint King from a hundred thousand years ago. The Saint King at that time left too many legends as the "Emperor's Son", which made all the warriors in the Nine Nether Demon Palace have no idea about the "Emperor's Son". The identity has generated strong awe and worship.
Even the eternal elders are like this.
After all, before Yao Daogu, Zhao Fengxia and others became the eternal elders, they were all talented warriors of the Nine Nether Demon Palace. Influenced by the culture of the Demon Palace, their awe for the "Sage of the Holy Lord and Emperor" has already been engraved in their bones.
Lin Bai sat on the edge of the suspended island, looking at the busy figures of warriors in the Demon Palace headquarters below.
No words, no movements, no reactions, just like an ancient god, looking at his territory and his people indifferently.
Only the strong hunting wind that was high up in the sky and coming towards him stirred Lin Bai's hair and clothes, indicating that he was not a statue, but a living person.
After waiting for about half an hour, Taoist disciple Yu Youcai and goddess Li Guxian came quickly and boarded the palace.
Li Guxian walked quickly and noticed that the atmosphere was a little subtle, so she first looked at Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia in the pavilion.
These two people obviously also looked at Li Guxian.
"What's going on?"
Li Guxian deliberately slowed down and took the time to send a message to the two elders Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia.
"Did you say something?"
She felt that Lin Bai's mood was a little abnormal, like the dead calm before the storm.
"No."
"We have nothing."
Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia also hurriedly sent messages to reply, briefly telling Li Guxian everything that happened after they arrived at the imperial palace.
After Li Guxian knew what happened, she already had a plan in mind and slowly approached.
He stopped ten steps away from Lin Bai, raised his hands and saluted:
"I have met the emperor's son."
After hearing Li Guxian's voice, Lin Bai, who had been silent, finally reacted again.
He silently stood up from the edge, glanced at Li Guxian first, and then walked back to the flower sea pavilion.
"Since Goddess Li Guxian is here, let's talk about it."
"What's going on in the Southern Region?"
Lin Bai was sitting in the pavilion. Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia quickly stood up and did not dare to sit at the same table as Lin Bai.
Yao Daogu, Zhao Fengxia, and Li Guxian stood side by side in front of Lin Bai.
They stood and Lin Bai sat.
It's like waiting for subordinates to report their work.
Mr. Wen and Daozi Yuyou stood outside the pavilion, silently paying attention to what was going on inside the pavilion.
There was no hint of joy, anger or cunning on Li Guxian's pretty face, and she replied with a bright smile:
"Emperor, how do I know about the Southern Territory?"
She defended herself first, and then added: "The Demon Palace did receive a request for help from the Qitian Sect, and also knew that the Southern Region had broken through the Qitian Sect's defense line and had invaded the Eastern Region."
"But this is just the news we have learned."
After listening to Li Guxian's explanation, Lin Baixuan even looked at Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia.
The two elders followed Lin Bai's gaze and quickly replied:
"Yes."
"As Goddess Li Guxian said, we have just received the news that the Southern Territory has invaded the Eastern Territory."
Zhao Fengxia smoothed Wu Liu's long beard and sighed softly: "Logically speaking, although our Jiuyou Demon Palace and Qitian Sect had some grievances in the past, now we are facing the invasion of foreign enemies, and we should provide help."
< br>
"But at present, our Demon Palace must focus on regaining the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, so we are unable to support it at all."
Lin Bai stared at Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia and said, "Is this a resolution passed by the Council of Elders?"
"Don't support the Qitian Sect's territory?"
Yao Daogu nodded and said: "Yes, after receiving the news of Qitian Sect's request for help from the territory, under the auspices of Elder Luo Yuanjing, the Council of Elders passed a resolution."
Lin Bai nodded and did not continue to ask further.
Instead, he looked at Li Guxian again, his face still maintaining a cold look:
"Isn't this really the method of Goddess Li Guxian?"
Goddess Li Guxian seemed to be amused by Lin Bai, she covered her mouth and laughed:
"How can Senior Brother Di Zi know that this is the trick of a little girl?"
Lin Bai sighed softly, then looked at the vast world outside the imperial palace, and whispered:
"The matters on the border between the Eastern Region and the Northern Region have just ended, and the eyes of Wansheng Mountain, Chu Kingdom, and Qitian Sect will immediately fall on Jiuyou Demon Palace."
"We all know that based on the current situation of the Demon Palace, facing the gaze of the three most prosperous sects is also a huge pressure."
"At this time, there are only two ways to solve the dilemma."
"First, either get rid of the three most prosperous sects. Obviously the Demon Palace cannot do that."
"Then there is only the second way, which is to divert the attention of the three most prosperous sects from the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
“How do you take your attention away?”
Lin Bai stared at Li Guxian and did not continue talking.
In fact, when he heard that the Southern Territory was invading the Eastern Territory, Lin Bai already had many questions in his mind.
Why did the Southern Territory suddenly invade the Eastern Territory?
Why did it happen at this juncture? The Eastern Territory had just ended its war with the Northern Territory, and the Southern Territory immediately launched an attack.
This is not the right time.
This motive is also wrong.
If Lin Bai was a warrior from the Southern Territory and wanted to invade the Eastern Territory, the best time would be to suddenly launch a surprise attack when the Eastern Territory and the Northern Territory were confronting each other on the border, and when most of the warriors from the Eastern Territory focused their attention on the border. .
This is the best way.
Of course, it does not rule out that the Qitian Sect was on guard at that time, and the Southern Territory believed that the probability of a successful sneak attack was low.
There is a second doubt that troubles Lin Bai.
That's why after Li Guxian left the Eastern Territory border, the Southern Territory suddenly invaded the Eastern Territory.
Within a few days after Li Guxian left Yongye Pass, Nanyu took action, which had to make Lin Bai suspicious.
Did Li Guxian do something to cause the Southern Territory to suddenly attack when she left Yongye Pass?
Li Guxian smiled bitterly and said: "Senior brother Dizi really misunderstood. My daughter did not push for the Southern Territory to invade the Eastern Territory."
"This is entirely the result of the sudden attack by the Southern Territory." Lin Bai chuckled and did not press hard, but asked: "In that case, with the eyes and knowledge of Goddess Li Guxian, do you think the Southern Territory invaded the Eastern Territory? What is the purpose of a domain? ”
"The Southern Territory is different from the Northern Territory."
"The Northern Territory is affected by the geographical environment. They have to try to invade the Eastern Territory to obtain a better living environment and resources for the Northern Territory warriors."
"The Southern Territory does not seem to be as urgent as the Northern Territory. The resources and living environment in the Southern Territory are pretty good. They have no reason to invade the Eastern Territory."
After hearing Lin Bai's question, Li Guxian thought for a moment, then pursed her red lips and smiled:
“Senior Brother Dizi’s ideas are all from the perspective of a ‘warrior’.”
"But there is nothing wrong with this angle."
"For a warrior, a better cultivation land and better resources for breakthrough cultivation are indeed very attractive to warriors."
"It is also the main factor that triggers many warrior wars."
"But..."
Li Guxian paused for a moment when she said this, then suddenly changed the topic and said slowly:
"But for sects, families, and dynasties, we cannot start from this perspective."
"For example, some magical elixirs are of no use to high-level warriors, but they are of great benefit to low-level warriors."
"These families, sects, and dynasties often like to expand their territory and integrate richer resources into their own power."
"Many of these resources are not valued by warriors at the level of Brother Dizi, but they are of great benefit to those warriors at the Divine Pill Realm, Feitian Realm, Dao Realm, etc."
She slowly explained: "Senior Brother Di Zi should understand very well that for any sect, family, or dynasty, the talented warriors who represent the fresh blood and the high-level warriors who represent the pillars are indispensable."
"The lack of resources to train young warriors will cause sects, families, and dynasties to be in a state of insecurity."
"The lack of high-level warriors at the pillar level will make it impossible for sects, families, and dynasties to protect themselves."
After she first explained the motives of the Southern Territory, she then said to Lin Bai:
"The Qitian Sect's territory can be considered a relatively fertile area in the Eastern Region, and it still has a lot of resources."
"These resources are enough to make the warriors of the Southern Region excited."
"Maybe high-level warriors at the pillar level look down upon these resources, but for cultivating young warriors within families, sects, and dynasties, these resources are very important."
Li Guxian's explanation gave Southern Territory a formal and suitable reason for the invasion.
"At this time, there were obvious twists and turns and civil strife in the Eastern Territory. The territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect as an 'offensive and defensive alliance' was destroyed, allowing the Southern Territory, Western Territory, and Northern Territory to see the dawn of hope!"
"Let them know...the Hengsheng Sect is not invincible!"
She said to Lin Bai: "Senior Brother Dizi has traveled extensively and has seen a lot. You should have heard this sentence..."
"That is... don't let others know that 'gods' can bleed, because a 'god' who can bleed is no longer a god. He is just a high-level warrior with relatively strong cultivation."
Listening to Li Guxian's long explanation, he not only succeeded in confusing Lin Bairao, but also seemed to be recognized by Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia.
The two of them nodded repeatedly.
It even made Lin Bai's inner thoughts waver a little, and he had a confused look on his face.
According to Lin Bai's previous thoughts... Li Guxian took the initiative to provoke the Southern Territory, attracting the attention of Wansheng Mountain, Chu State, and Qitian Sect in turn, so that they could not concentrate on the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
Give Jiuyou Demon Palace enough time and energy to stabilize the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect.
After all, once the Southern Territory invades the Eastern Territory, even with the full support of Wansheng Mountain and Chu State, the battle cannot be completed in just a few months.
The Nine Nether Demon Palace will have enough time to rule the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect.
And now the explanation given by Li Guxian is... This has nothing to do with her and the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
It's just that the Southern Territory covets the resources within the Qitian Sect's territory, and it just so happens that the destruction of the Seven Nights Sect has given the Southern Territory and the Western Territory hope.
Because they saw... As the most prosperous sect in the Eastern Region, it is not invincible.
They can also be defeated!
The most important thing is that the destruction of the Seven Nights Divine Sect made the Southern Territory see that the most prosperous sect in the Eastern Territory was not as powerful as the legend said, which gave the Southern Territory the intention to invade.
This is the first reason raised by Li Guxian!
There is a second reason, which is that there are flaws and loopholes in the "offensive and defensive alliance" in the Eastern Region.
The four most powerful forces in the Eastern Region, Chu Kingdom, Qi Tian Sect, Wansheng Mountain, and Qiye Shen Sect, had formulated an "offensive and defensive alliance" a long time ago.
It means... if any party encounters an invasion from a foreign enemy, the other three major forces will need to lend a helping hand.
But now, the Seven Nights Divine Sect was suddenly destroyed, and one of the four most powerful forces in the Eastern Region disappeared, leaving a flaw in this offensive and defensive alliance.
All the attention of Wansheng Mountain and Chu State was attracted by the Northern Territory. Even if Qitian Sect could get help, it would not be much.
The Southern Territory thought this was a good opportunity, so they invaded.
"So...Li Guxian and Jiuyou Demon Palace really didn't do anything about this matter."
"Is it entirely because the Southern Territory saw the flaw in the Eastern Territory and is boldly invading?"
Lin Bai frowned and thought deeply. He couldn't help but feel a headache and shook his head.
He also somewhat believed Li Guxian's statement: "I have to say that the sudden destruction of the Seven Nights Sect and the demise of a powerful force had a huge chain reaction."
However, Lin Bai quickly restrained his thoughts and carefully considered the meaning of Li Guxian's words.
"This is just Li Guxian's one-sided statement, and it doesn't count."
"The best way is to get some news from the Southern Territory. Only by combining the news from both sides can we draw the best conclusion!"
"Hey."
When he thought of this, Lin Bai couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I thought Jiuyou Demon Palace and Li Guxian were behind this matter. If they admit it, I really want to reduce the casualties to as low as lowest.”
"End this matter at the right time."
"But if it weren't for Li Guxian and Jiuyou Demon Palace's push, there would be no possibility of reversing the matter."
In the pavilion, Yao Daogu and Zhao Fengxia rarely interrupted, and Li Guxian always reported to Lin Bai.
After Lin Bai's thoughts dispersed for a while, he glanced at Li Guxian and Yao Daogu:
"What is the current situation in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect?"
Li Guxian replied: "Currently, the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect is divided into five forces!"
"The first party is our Jiuyou Demon Palace."
"The second party is the alliance between the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect."
"The third party, the alliance between Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect."
"The fourth party, the Qinglian Sect, which remains neutral."
"The fifth party is the Demon Slayer Alliance taking advantage of the situation!"
"As for the reinforcements from the Chu State that are still in the territory of the Qiye Shenzong, that is, the troops led by Chu Zimo, Chu Tinghan, Chu Tingxue, Princess Shenxian and others, I have not divided them."
After she finished speaking, she said to Lin Bai: "Senior Brother Dizi is back. Maybe there are some things that need Senior Brother Dizi to come forward to handle things safely!"
