#7468 - Dirty and tiring work!

Daozi Yao Qian listened to Li Guxian's analysis and secretly analyzed the advantages that Lin Bai and the First Son of God respectively had.

The first was the First Son of God. When Lin Bai and Li Guxian were fighting outside, the First Son of God, with the reminder and help of Shi Renshan, began to use the power in his hands to suppress the resistance forces within the sect.

As a result, the support rate for the First Son of God among the warriors and geniuses within the Demon Palace is extremely high.

The reason is very simple. The First Son of God is a warrior who was born and raised in the Jiuyou Demon Palace. He was originally born in Jiuyou City.

The many geniuses in the Nine Nether Demon Palace watched him ascend to the throne of the First Son of God step by step.

Compared to Lin Bai, the First Son of God is more likely to be recognized by the warriors of the Demon Palace.

Although Lin Bai is currently the emperor's son, he is ultimately an outsider.

Secondly, during the time when the First Son of God was rebuilding the mountain gate in the Demon Palace, he used the power of the "Royal Guards" to eliminate dissidents, forcing many small and medium-sized families with "voting rights" in the Council of Elders to submit to him.

For example, the Zhang family, to which Zhang Sheng belongs, is a family that was unwilling to submit to the First Son of God, and has been eliminated by the First Son of God using various means.

This is the advantage that the First Son of God has in the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

As for Lin Bai, after this period of development, he has also gained a lot of support.

At least judging from the current situation, among the three holy elders, Luo Yuanjing and Duanmu Peng are more inclined to support Lin Bai.

The Lord of the Demon Palace is also willing to support Lin Bai.

It’s just that Saint Elder Luo Yuanjing, Saint Elder Duanmu Peng and the Palace Master of the Demon Palace are all the ones in power in the Demon Palace.

It is impossible for them to personally support Lin Bai, as this would cause many warriors in the Demon Palace to think that the Saint Elder and the Palace Master were deliberately favoring Lin Bai.

In addition, there is the support of various external forces.

For example, external forces such as Wansheng Mountain, Chu State, Qitian Sect, Phoenix Valley, and Seven Nights Divine Sect have all clearly expressed their support for Lin Bai to become the emperor's son.

But they are external forces after all. Once they interfere too much in the affairs of the Demon Palace, they will inevitably be opposed by those within the Demon Palace.

The significance of their existence is more of a "deterrent effect" and they are also Lin Bai's last trump card.

Once Lin Bai and the First Son of God lose the battle within the Demon Palace and Lin Bai is about to lose his position as the Emperor's Son, these external forces will inevitably put pressure on the Demon Palace.

If the Demon Palace insists on dismissing Lin Bai, the Chu State, All Saints Mountain, Qitian Sect, Phoenix Valley, and Seven Nights Divine Sect, which have made an agreement with Lin Bai, will definitely not give up. They may even send troops directly to force Lin Bai to take back the Emperor's son from the Demon Palace!

This is the role of deterrence and trump cards.

Simply put, the First Son of God has the support of the geniuses and middle-level people with influence within the Demon Palace, while Lin Bai has the support of high-level people and external forces.

Judging from a comprehensive perspective, it seems that Lin Bai has the advantage. After all, the Demon Palace Master, the two holy elders and external forces all support Lin Bai.

However, the support Lin Bai received could not be easily revealed, and their role could not be specifically demonstrated.

Unless he wanted to start a war, Lin Bai could directly ask the Chu State, Wansheng Mountain, Qitian Sect, Qiye Divine Sect, Phoenix Valley and other sects to send troops to help.

The First Son of God is completely different. He has the support of the middle-level forces and geniuses in the Demon Palace, and possesses great authority above the Council of Elders.

Any conditions and resolutions proposed by Li Guxian in the Elders' Council during this period will not be passed if they are not approved by the First Son of God.

This is the authority held by the First Son of God.

"But... Senior Brother Dizi is avoiding me blindly. This is not a solution."

"The stronger the power of the First Son of God becomes, the more disadvantageous it will be to Senior Brother Emperor."

Daozi Yao Qian felt that this was too euphemistic, so he sighed and said through gritted teeth:

"Your Highness, the Goddess, there are no outsiders here, so I will just speak simply and directly."

"The greater the power of the First Son of God, the more disadvantageous it will be to Senior Brother Emperor, and even more disadvantageous to our family!"

"We can't just sit there and watch as the power of our Yao family is gradually being eroded by the First Son of God."

"Since we support Senior Brother Di Zi, then Senior Brother Di Zi should set an example. Otherwise, our Yao family will never sit and wait for the First Son of God to devour our family."

"So please ask Her Highness the Goddess to persuade Senior Brother Di Zi and let him think of a solution."

After listening patiently, Li Guxian looked at Daozi Yao Qian with a bit of surprise and said:

"Who said Senior Brother Dizi didn't do anything?"

Daozi Yao Qian was extremely shocked and gave a bitter smile, then asked:

"What did Senior Brother Dizi do?"

Li Guxian pointed at her nose with the rolled-up book and said with a smile:

"Isn't this the one who sent me to handle these things?"

"ah?"

Daozi Yao Qian was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

"In other words, Her Highness the Goddess is now handling matters inside and outside the sect on behalf of Senior Brother Di Zi?"

"Brother Emperor ordered the Goddess to deal with the First Son of God?"

Li Guxian smiled and nodded gently, then raised her hand and looked towards the imperial palace floating above the nine great temples:

"There are some things that he, as the emperor's son, cannot do personally, so he must have others do these dirty and tiring tasks."

Daozi Yao Qian was stunned in surprise. He didn't quite understand the deep meaning of Li Guxian's words, so he asked:

"What is it that Senior Brother Dizi is not convenient to do?"

Li Guxian smiled softly and said to Daozi Yao Qian:

“For example, if we want to attack the middle-level families in the Demon Palace, if the means we use are too bloody and violent, many middle-level families will inevitably be afraid of Senior Brother Di Zi, which will be detrimental to Senior Brother Di Zi’s future rule over the Demon Palace.”

“For example, if a large number of those genius warriors who are loyal to the First Son of God were to die, it would certainly make all the warriors in the Demon Palace feel insecure, thinking that Senior Brother Di Zi would kill his fellow disciples in order to consolidate his own position.”

“These are dirty jobs.”

Li Guxian chuckled, paused and continued:

"Our Senior Brother the Emperor's Son, if you want him to fight, he should go and duel with the First Son of God."

"Even the ten first sons of God are no match for him."

"He might even kill all the geniuses and warriors in the Demon Palace!"

"This is the character of our Senior Brother the Emperor."

Li Guxian stared at Daozi Yao Qian seriously and said, "The way he handles trouble is to kill the person who caused the trouble!"

Daozi Yao Qian thought about it seriously, then said with a smile: "This does seem like something that Senior Brother Dizi would be able to do."

Li Guxian sighed and said, "But this is not conducive to the current situation of the Demon Palace."

"So someone has to do the dirty work!"

Daozi Yao Qian suddenly understood what Li Guxian wanted to do, and asked with a smile:

"So Her Highness the Goddess was specifically ordered by Senior Brother Emperor to do these dirty and tiring jobs?"

Li Guxian laughed again:

“How could Senior Brother Di Zi give orders personally? But those of us who are loyal to him naturally have to think about these things for him.”

Daozi Yao Qian suddenly realized. He now understood that Lin Bai had never asked Li Guxian to do these things.

Lin Bai didn't need to give any instructions. He just needed to announce his retreat after returning to the Demon Palace.

Just leave the rest to Li Guxian.

Under such circumstances, Lin Bai and Li Guxian completed perfect cooperation.

The two didn't communicate anything, but they started doing their own things tacitly.

"I can deal with the First Son of God in the Council of Elders, but there are some things I am not very good at."

"For example...fighting and direct confrontation are things I am not good at."

Li Guxian looked at Taoist Yao Qian meaningfully, without pointing out anything, but it seemed as if she had said everything.

Daozi Yao Qian finally understood at this moment and comprehended the implicit meaning of Li Guxian's words.

"Understood."

"Your Highness the Goddess only needs to deal with the First Son of God in the Council of Elders. As for the other 'dirty work', I am willing to serve Senior Brother Emperor."

“If Her Highness the Goddess thinks that there are certain geniuses or warriors on the First Son of God’s side who are too annoying, just give me the order and I will naturally deal with them.”

“Same reason.”

“If Her Highness the Goddess thinks that any of the small or medium-sized families on the side of the First God Son are too annoying, just give the order and the Yao family will naturally come forward to deal with them!”

After getting Daozi Yao Qian's answer, Li Guxian snapped his fingers in satisfaction and said with a smile:

"This is what I am doing in the Demon Palace now."

"First, we need to know who is the enemy and who is the friend."

After Li Guxian confirmed that Daozi Yao Qian had joined their camp, she told him her plan in detail:

"I have repeatedly expressed my opinions in the Elders' Council these days. Don't you think I don't know that my opinions will be rejected by the First Son of God and his people?"

"Of course I understand."

"But I still want to do it!"

Daozi Yao Qian suddenly understood something. These days, Li Guxian had been repeatedly humiliated in the Council of Elders. Any opinions and suggestions he put forward were opposed by the Council of Elders.

But even so, Li Guxian still tirelessly put forward suggestions, and many people are wondering why Li Guxian does this.

"Your Highness the Goddess, are you trying to lure out all the people from the First Son of God?"

"Find out how many people support the First Son of God? How many people support Emperor Lin Bai? And how many people remain neutral?"

Li Guxian sighed:

"yes."

“There’s nothing we can do about it.”

"Senior Brother Di Zi and I have been away from the Demon Palace for too long. We don't know much about what happened inside the Demon Palace."

"This is one of the quickest ways to distinguish between friend and foe."

"Find out the enemy's formation, and then defeat them one by one."

Daozi Yao Qian asked curiously:

"Now that we know who we are and who we are enemies, what will Your Highness the Goddess do next?"

Li Guxian chuckled and said:

“Nothing.”

"Waiting for you to come find me!"

Daozi Yaoqian was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "We?"

As soon as these words came out, a maid walked over quickly from outside the Goddess's palace and reported:

"Your Highness, the Goddess, the Holy Son Hua Qianshu comes to ask for an audience."

Li Guxian raised her eyebrows to Daozi Yao Qian and said with a smile:

"Look, it's not just your Yao family that can't wait any longer, other families are starting to get tired of waiting as well."

“So, I guess a lot of people will come to see me in the next few days.”

After explaining to Daozi Yao Qian, Li Guxian said to the goddess:

"Please come in, Saint Hua Qianshu."

Not long.

Hua Qianshu, the saint son of "Meihua Villa", one of the eight top sects in the Wansheng Mountain territory, walked in.

When he saw Daozi Yao Qian sitting on the steps in front of the Goddess Palace, he was obviously stunned for a moment:

"Meet Her Highness the Goddess."

"Yao Qiandaozi is here too."

"It seems that I came at a wrong time today. Since Her Highness the Goddess is entertaining guests, I will come another day."

Before Li Guxian could reply, she heard Daozi Yao Qian say with a smile:

"No need."

"Brother Hua, I think your purpose for coming here today is not much different from my purpose for coming here."

Hua Qianshu, who was about to say goodbye, was slightly stunned, and then he seemed to understand something, and said:

"So, the Yao family can't wait any longer?"

Whether it is the Yao family or Plum Blossom Villa, they are both one of the "big families" within the Jiuyou Demon Palace.

Plum Blossom Villa originally belonged to one of the eight top sects in All Saints Mountain, and their status in the Demon Palace is also extremely high.

Seeing this, Hua Qianshu sighed, "Your Highness the Goddess, I wonder how long Senior Brother Dizi will be in seclusion this time?"

"When will you be released?"

Ever since Li Guxian suffered repeated defeats in the Council of Elders, many families and elders have gone to the Imperial Palace to pay a visit to Lin Bai.

But they were all declined by Mr. Wen on the grounds that "Lin Bai was in seclusion", so they had no choice but to come and visit Li Guxian.

“Soon.”

"Senior Brother Dizi will come out of seclusion at the right time."

The right time? ... Hua Qianshu smiled bitterly and asked hurriedly:

"So when is the right time?"

Li Guxian suddenly started to play a riddle with him: "When the time is right, then that is the time."

Hua Qianshu sighed unhappily and sat down next to Daozi Yao Qian on the steps of the Goddess' Palace.

When Daozi Yao Qian saw Hua Qianshu's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh, because he seemed to see himself just now in Hua Qianshu.

Next.

One after another, many warriors at the levels of Prince, Spiritual Son, Saint Son, and Taoist Son came to visit Li Guxian on behalf of their respective families.

As expected... the entire staircase in front of the Goddess Palace was filled with warriors of all kinds.

When Li Guxian saw their appearance, a slight smile appeared on her red lips. She secretly calculated the number of people and nodded with satisfaction.

"Although it is still far less powerful than the First Son of God, it is barely enough."

"Whatever."

"It's enough to show weakness. Next we have to fight against the Qing Dynasty!"

Li Guxian was still a little disappointed because the geniuses she most wanted to wait for did not come.

For example, the Lu family behind the Son of God of the Fifth Temple, and the Li family behind Li Siyuan, the Son of God of the Eighth Temple.

The families backed by the temple are the truly important families among the thirty-six major families in the Demon Palace. Getting their support is more advantageous than waiting for the support of a hundred small and medium-sized families!
