"That's right."
"After all, I don't think I have much authority within the Demon Palace."
Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang mentioned that Lin Bai was undermined by the No. 1 God Son, but Lin Bai did not deny it.
After all, before this, Lin Bai had no intention of fighting for power and profit within the Demon Palace, and he had never even used the power of the "Emperor's Son" several times.
Since there is no power at all, Lin Bai does not think that the number one son of god has underestimated him. It can only be said that Lin Bai gave up these powers independently.
Lin Bai, Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang sat in the tavern to make a cup of tea. The three of them had no idea what happened to the Jiuyou Demon Palace and the Fantian Sect and other sects.
Let’s talk about their own difficulties first.
Lin Bai probably figured out the situation of Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect.
Now they are in a dilemma. They want to fight but are afraid that they will not win. If they don’t fight, they can’t give up so easily.
After all, the atmosphere of warriors within their sect has been mobilized. If they have not even fought in a battle and then the warriors within the sect must have strong opposition.
If the war has to be started, it will be difficult to completely defeat the Jiuyou Demon Palace based on the current situation of the Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect.
Unless it is the Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect who can pull Qinglian Sect into the water and ask them to sneak attack the rear of Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley, and withdraw the troops of Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley on the frontier, creating a chance for a head-on battle with the Jiuyou Demon Palace.
After some chat and drinking, Lin Bai finally brought the topic back to the topic and said:
"Brother Meng, Brother Nie, you two are here today. Could it be that just to ask me for a drink?"
"Just say anything, otherwise the elders of your sect and the elders of the Demon Palace would think something had happened to us."
After hearing Lin Bai's voice, Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang looked at each other, and both of them looked as if they were sighing and wanting to speak.
"Are you here to make peace?"
"Or come to declare war?"
Seeing that the two of them did not answer, Lin Bai took the initiative to say:
"The situation is very clear now. The name change ceremony of Jiuyou Demon Palace is about to be. Once the name change is successful, there will be no "Seven Nights Divine Sect Territory" in the eastern region of the Demon Realm from now on, only "Nine You Demon Palace Territory". "
"All top sects and families in the territory, as well as small and medium-sized families and sects, must announce their surrender to the Demon Palace."
"If someone does not surrender, it is equivalent to openly declaring war with the Jiuyou Demon Palace. The Jiuyou Demon Palace can legitimately deal with these rebellious sects and families."
“That is,…”
Lin Bai deliberately paused when he said this, stared at Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang and said:
"If the Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect want to take action, before the name change celebration begins, it will be your best and last chance."
"After all, the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect is still a 'borderless land', and everyone can come and compete for it."
"But once the name change is successful, the Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect take action again, it is equivalent to a blatant rebellion."
"The Jiuyou Demon Palace can call on all families and sects inside and outside the territory to jointly attack the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect."
"Of course."
"You can also take a gamble, thinking that the Jiuyou Demon Palace's ability to call is not enough, and no sect or family will respond."
"But with the power of the Nine Nether Demon Palace itself, it should be enough to deal with the Pantian Sect and the Baitian Sect."
After hearing Lin Bai's analysis, Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang nodded in agreement.
At the same time, Nie Shang also whispered: "Once the Jiuyou Demon Palace is renamed successfully, and calling on families and sects in the territory to deal with us, no one will not respond."
"After all, we all understand the principle of 'a whale falls into all things'."
"With Jiuyou Demon Palace taking the lead in dealing with the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect, there must be many small and medium-sized families rushing to get a share of the pie."
Lin Bai spread his hands and asked Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang:
"So, what do Brother Meng and Brother Nie think now?"
Meng Qinxian took a sip of wine, took a breath, and said to Lin Bai with some complaints:
"Hiss!!"
"Brother Lin, you don't seem to be trying to persuade him to surrender at all?"
"Do you also want to see the Jiuyou Demon Palace fight with the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect?"
Lin Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head and said:
"I want to persuade me to surrender, but I also know that you don't keep your word with me."
"Can you surrender if I ask you to surrender?"
"On the contrary."
"If you surrender, will the Demon Palace really accept your surrender?"
"We don't have the final say."
Meng Qinxian took a deep breath, took two more sips of wine, and said to Lin Bai and Nie Shang:
"Brother Lin, since that's the case, I'll tell the truth."
"From my heart, I hope to fight. After all, this is a rare opportunity for the Fantian Sect."
"If you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that the Fantian Sect will stick to the rules in the next tens of thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years."
"It is never possible to turn over the rule of the Jiuyou Demon Palace."
Lin Bai nodded slightly while drinking:
"I agree."
"If I were the elder of the Fantian Sect, I would think this is the best opportunity!"
As soon as Meng Qinxian finished speaking, Nie Shang frowned and said with a calm expression:
"I don't agree to the fight."
"From the current situation of the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect, once the fight begins, the Jiuyou Demon Palace, Phoenix Valley, Chunyang Sect, Fantian Sect, Baitian Sect, and the five major forces will inevitably suffer from both defeats!"
Nie Shang said to Lin Bai very seriously:
"Brother Lin, don't treat us as easy as Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect."
"The foundation of Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect is definitely more than that of Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect."
Lin Bai smiled and nodded in agreement when he heard this, and said to Nie Shang:
"I agree."
"Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect have been in the territory of Qiye Shen Sect for tens of thousands of years, and have not experienced much war or influence from external forces during this period."
"You have a very rich foundation and the sect is in a state of prosperity. If you fight, even if the Demon Palace can win in the end, it will definitely be a miserable victory!"
Nie Shang nodded slightly and said to Lin Bai:
"So after our five major forces fight, when both sides suffer losses, it is very likely that others will get a bargain."
"For example, the Demon Elimination Alliance, the Qinglian Sect!"
When Nie Shang said this, he snorted twice and said:
"We sent someone to negotiate with the Qinglian Sect. The Qinglian Sect said that the sect was consumed severely and had no intention of interfering in the internal war in the territory of the Qiye Shenzong on the ground."
"But you and I know that when the Chu reinforcements entered the territory of the Qiye Shenzong, although the Qinglian Sect sent troops to suppress them, they did not hurt their muscles."
"They are still saving enough strength and are waiting for the major change of Qiye Divine Sect."
"The other is the Demon Elimination Alliance!"
"Haha." When mentioning the Demon Elimination Alliance, Nie Shang smiled coldly and continued:
"We have also contacted the Demon Elimination Alliance, and they promised to assist us in dealing with the Jiuyou Demon Palace."
"But... these warriors are not of our race, and their hearts will be different."
"I always promised to help us, but I never sent troops to fight!"
"They probably plan to wait until we fight with Jiuyou Demon Palace to lose both sides and jump out to share the benefits."
"There is still a force, maybe Brother Lin doesn't know!"
Nie Shang changed his mind and looked like he wanted to take Lin Bai. He looked at Lin Bai and asked.
After thinking about it, Lin Bai replied to Nie Shang:
"Refugees from the territory of Qitianzong."
"Is it right?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Nie Shang took a deep breath, nodded slowly and said:
"The territory of Qiye Shenzong was trapped in a 'borderless land'. Many refugees who fled from the Qitianzong territory entered the territory of Qiye Shenzong when no one was disciplined."
"This group of people has gathered together and gradually formed a considerable force."
"Brother Lin, do you know how many refugees come from Qitian Sect in the territory of Qiye Shen Sect now?"
Lin Bai really didn't know about this, so he looked at Nie Shang curiously and asked:
"How many?"
Nie Shang replied simply and clearly:
"The number of all warriors combined is about one billion creatures."
"There are many high-level warriors among them."
"Brother Lin should know that when these small and medium-sized families and sects fight each other, they are not afraid of them."
"But once these small and medium-sized families and sects are united, things will be troublesome. They can instantly get the level of dozens of high-level warriors."
"Once our five forces suffer both losses, this group of refugees from Qitian Sect will surely jump out and get a share!"
When Nie Shang analyzed this, he took a deep breath and said:
"In other words, the Qinglian Sect, the Demon Elimination Alliance, and the Qitian Sect refugees are waiting for another fierce internal struggle within the territory of the Qiye Divine Sect, and then they will be profitable."
Lin Bai nodded repeatedly, raised his wine glass and touched Nie Shang for a while, and said:
"I agree with Brother Nie."
After saying that, Lin Bai and Meng Qinxian met again:
"Brother Meng, I agree with you."
Meng Qinxian drank the glass of wine and said angrily:
"Brother Lin, why do I feel like you are messing with water?"
"You agree with my view of starting a war, and you also agree with Brother Nie's view of ceasefire. Who do you support?"
Lin Bai shrugged indifferently and replied casually:
"It doesn't matter who I agree with or oppose against you."
"And I can only tell you what the attitude of the Demon Palace is."
Nie Shang and Meng Qinxian suddenly became serious and stared at Lin Bai. They really hoped to hear the current attitude of the Demon Palace.
Lin Bai continued, "The attitude of the Demon Palace is... If you want to fight, then we will fight."
"If you don't fight, then stop now."
"As for the Demon Palace will settle the score after decades or hundreds of years after the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm has settled, I don't know."
"After all, Brother Nie said just now that in terms of background and strength, both Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect are not as good as the Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect."
"Will the Jiuyou Demon Palace let the two powerful neighbors survive safely? This is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences."
"For example, there is a saying that goes very well, 'Why can others snore on the side of the bed?'. The elite disciples of the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect are 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00
After hearing this, Nie Shang hesitated for a moment and asked Lin Bai:
"If the situation in the eastern region of the Demon Realm stabilizes hundreds of years later, and Brother Lin is still in charge of the Demon Palace at that time, will Brother Lin use troops to the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect?"
Lin Bai poured himself a glass of wine and said to Nie Shang with a smile:
"If Brother Nie wants to get something from me, then I may disappoint Brother Nie."
"I've been suffocated by my 'promises'."
Nie Shang chuckled and said:
"That means that Brother Lin is indeed a person who values promises, so he is so upset."
"If it is for those warriors who are full of sarcasm, a 'a promise' is equivalent to farting them."
Lin Bai shook his head, thought about it for a while and said:
"I can't give Brother Nie an accurate reply, but I can remind Brother Nie."
"If I take charge of the Demon Palace, I will not launch a war to eliminate the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect, but the premise is... The Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect must remove at least half of their disciples."
"Or it may not be allowed to publicly recruit disciples within three thousand years."
Lin Bai's words are equivalent to "reducing the vassal states".
Including the time when Jiuyou Demon Palace defeated Chunyang Sect, there were similar conditions. Chunyang Sect will not be allowed to recruit disciples for a long time in the future.
In other words, the number of disciples that Chunyang Sect currently has is the number of disciples they will have for many years in the future, and no new disciples are allowed.
The two most important things of a sect are the top strong men. They are the pillars of the sect, which determines the sect's status in the martial arts world.
Another thing is the disciples of fresh "blood", who represent the potential of the future sect and a large number of middle-level personnel.
Once you lose the opportunity to recruit new disciples, after hundreds or thousands of years, warriors will inevitably die, either because of fighting in the wild, or because of exhaustion of life span. Anyway, the disciples in their sect will decrease day by day.
This is the "reducing of the vassal states".
As Lin Bai said, the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect are so powerful, the Jiuyou Demon Palace will definitely not keep the Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect for reasons, posing an unstable threat to itself.
The most terrifying enemies are not those who have rebelled.
The most terrifying enemy is the kind of enemy who can rebel at any time as long as he wants to rebel.
The Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect obviously belong to the second type. As long as they are willing to rebel, they can rebel immediately!
Therefore, to weaken the strength of the Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect, that is something that the Jiuyou Demon Palace must find a way to do.
Nie Shang took a deep breath with a frown, picked up the wine glass and smiled bitterly:
"I used to think that being a 'Holy Son' is an extremely honorable and extremely respectful thing."
"Where you go, people will regard me as a guest of honor, and everyone will respect me very much."
"Tsk..., why does it look like this 'Holy Son' is like a hot potato?"
"If I were given another chance, I would rather not be a saint son and be an ordinary core disciple. When I was tired of practicing, I would go on a trip to the mountains and rivers all day long."
When Lin Bai heard this, he laughed in agreement.
"I agree." Meng Qinxian looked a little drunk and said while patting Nie Shang's sword hilt.
"Give me another chance to start over, and I will never compete for the position of this Holy Son!"
Meng Qinxian said to Nie Shang and Lin Bai: "Brother Nie, Brother Lin, you may not know that I was fighting for the position of this saint son in the Fantian Sect back then." (End of this chapter)
