#7472 - Pressure from all sides!

Lin Bai roughly understood what the Seven Nights Divine Sect was worried about.

Judging from the current situation, since Lin Bai and Li Guxian were away to conquer Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley some time ago, the First Son of God quickly took control of power within the sect.

Currently, most of the elders in the Council of Elders who have the "right to vote" are people who belong to the First Son of God.

Lin Bai's status and power in the Council of Elders are not high. Apart from the Saint Elder who is willing to support him, other ordinary families and elders are unwilling to come forward to help.

But just getting the support of the Saint Elder is far from enough. After all, the Saint Elder will only exercise the power of "veto" on major issues such as "removing Lin Bai from the position of the emperor's son."

As for other small matters, it is impossible for the Holy Elder to completely favor Lin Bai.

This means that... the First Son of God and Shi Renshan have already taken control of the Council of Elders.

In addition, during this period, the First Son of God and Shi Renshan have been constantly asking the Demon Palace to dismiss Lin Bai and have increased their "public opinion output" to the outside world.

Although Lin Bai and Li Guxian both knew that this was a rumor spread by the First Son of God and Shi Renshan, it was impossible for the Jiuyou Demon Palace to dismiss Lin Bai at the moment.

However, when these rumors spread to the Seven Nights Divine Sect, Phoenix Valley, and external forces willing to support Lin Bai, they began to have wild thoughts.

Especially for those forces that have extremely close interests with Lin Bai, they are even more panicked.

"I see."

"I will give a clear explanation to the Seven Nights Divine Sect on this matter."

After Lin Bai thought through the whole cause and effect, he took a deep breath, and his scattered emotions gradually dissipated. His eyes revealed determination and a hint of murderous intent.

At this moment, Lin Bai must first stabilize the Seven Nights Divine Sect and ensure that the Seven Nights Divine Sect can smoothly hand over its territory to the Nine Nether Demon Palace. Nothing too wrong can happen before the name change ceremony.

Although the elders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect were slightly relieved after hearing this, they still asked with some concern:

"Emperor Lin Bai, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just that these few empty words are hard to convince people."

"I wonder if Emperor Lin Bai can come up with real evidence so that we can be completely assured?"

Feeling that the sharp words of the elders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect had softened, Lin Bai thought for a moment and said:

"Within three years after the Nine Nether Demon Palace's renaming ceremony, I will make all the rumors inside and outside the territory disappear."

"If the First Son of God does not repent, I will make him disappear from the world within five years."

"This includes all the families and sects in the Nine Nether Demon Palace that support the First Son of God. If they don't obey, then we will destroy them all together!"

Hiss! ... Hearing the decision made by Lin Bai, not only the elders of the Seven Nights Divine Sect took a deep breath.

Even Elder Wen and Taoist Yu You, who were standing behind Lin Bai, changed their expressions. This statement undoubtedly meant that Lin Bai was officially going to go to war with the First Son of God.

Even... Lin Bai has already had the idea of ​​getting rid of the First Son of God!

“Emperor Lin Bai, don’t blame us, the Seven Nights Divine Sect. We have placed all our bets on Emperor Lin Bai.”

Lin Bai smiled lightly, nodded and said:

"I know."

"Dealing with the First Son of God is not only for you, but also for myself."

"Now that I have joined this 'battle for the emperor's son', there is no way I can retreat unscathed."

"Once I lose the title of 'Emperor' and the protection of the Demon Palace, the First Son of God and Shi Renshan will not let me go."

"Rather than that, I might as well take action in advance."

After Lin Bai said this, he paused for a moment and chuckled again:

"Lin is not very good at the art of political manipulation."

"But when it comes to the art of killing, I am quite good at it."

Several elders in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect had no objection when they heard this. They looked at Yi Gu and Yi Jinyi, indicating that they had no problem.

Yi Jinyi, Yi Guyou and Lin Bai chatted about some details and trivial matters, and then Lin Bai suggested:

"In that case, there won't be any problems with the Seven Nights Divine Sect, so let's set off for the Nine Nether Demon Palace today."

"After all, the 'Name Changing Ceremony' scheduled by the Demon Palace is not far away, so we still have to go back and prepare in advance."

The many elders of the Qiye Divine Sect and Yi Gu had no objection.

Lin Bai rested for a night in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, giving the Seven Nights Divine Sect enough time to prepare.

…

at night.

Lin Bai stood in the bedroom specially arranged for him by the Qiye Divine Sect, looking up at the bright moon hanging on the top of the mountain.

The pure white and cold moonlight sprinkled on his body, and Lin Bai was in a daze.

Yi Jinyun walked behind Lin Ye with a fur coat, gently put it on him, and said softly:

"Husband, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Lin Bai chuckled when he heard this:

"It's not that you've caused me trouble, but there are always troubles in this world."

"Why."

"I'm just unlucky."

"I have only been in the Demon Realm for a little over ten years, and I have already encountered such a chaos in the Demon Realm."

"All warriors are unable to devote themselves to training wholeheartedly and have to be dragged into this dilemma."

Lin Bai just carefully recalled what happened to him after he came to the Demon Realm.

From the moment he arrived in Chu, he became the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect, and after he made friends with His Royal Highness Prince Chen, the situation began to change.

He began to get involved in the high-level struggles in the Demonic Realm Chu State.

In this level of fighting power, even warriors at the Daluo Daoguo and Hunyuan Daoguo realms can only act as "chess pieces".

It was not until the time when he was in the capital of the Chu State, before the birthday of the Chu Emperor, that Lin Bai revealed his "Supreme Appearance" in front of all the warriors in the world.

The entire situation began to change into a situation that Lin Bai could no longer control.

If he could gain the favor of His Royal Highness Prince Chen and become the Holy Son of the Tianshui Sect, Lin Bai could still barely control the situation.

At that time, as long as Lin Bai wanted, he could get away anytime and anywhere.

But what really changed Lin Bai's fate drastically was the revelation of his "Supreme Appearance".

After revealing his "Supreme Appearance" outside the imperial capital, Lin Bai attracted the attention of all the prosperous and top sects in the demon world.

In order to win him over, the State of Chu made an exception and granted him a kingdom, and even arranged for the marriage of Princess Chenxian, the only daughter of Prince Jianghong, to Lin Bai.

After the civil war broke out in the Seven Nights Divine Sect, the Jiuyou Demon Palace tried every means to abduct Lin Bai to Jiuyou City, and used various means to force Lin Bai to become the emperor of the Jiuyou Demon Palace.

From that time on, Lin Bai found that he had lost control of the situation and was caught up in the "world situation" of the demon world, unable to escape.

"It feels like a drowning person struggling desperately in the turbulent river of 'the world situation', trying to break free, but finding himself sinking deeper and deeper."

Lin Bai sighed softly, turned around and looked at Yi Jinyun, and suddenly chuckled:

"Li Guxian is right. I have no way out."

"Even if I don't want to be the prince of the Demon Palace, many people will push me to be the prince of the Demon Palace!"

"I don't want to fight, but someone is always forcing me to fight!"

"In that case, I will fight for them!"

Yi Jinyun said with guilt:

"Most of the opponents that my husband will face next are the top warriors in the demon world."

"In this situation, I can't help you much, I can only try to stop causing you trouble."

Lin Bai chuckled and said:

"You'd better not interfere, otherwise you will be implicated."

After he finished speaking, he sighed softly and frowned slightly.

Yi Jinyun frowned and asked, "My husband, it seems like there is something in your heart that you can't tell?"

Lin Bai smiled slightly and didn't say anything else.

There were some things he could not tell Yi Jinyun.

For example, the identity of the "Sky-Swallowing Clan".

"After I came to the demon world, I was very careful in everything I did, just to avoid attracting too much attention and exposing my true identity."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Even after I entered the upper echelons of the Chu State, or became the prince of the Demon Palace, I deliberately stayed away from those high-level fights to avoid being discovered."

"It's not that I don't want to fight with the First Son of God, it's that I don't want to expose my identity."

"I am not sure now... If I really attract the Giant God Clan, can the Nine Nether Demon Palace protect me?"

Since joining the Jiuyou Demon Palace, Lin Bai has been cautious in everything he does. The only time he exposed himself too much was during the competition between the East Region and the North Region.

But this matter was also endorsed by the Demon Palace Master. With the Demon Palace Master watching in secret, he firmly believed that the secret would not be exposed.

Apart from this, Lin Bai did not act overly ostentatious and always kept a restrained attitude.

Now that the First Son of God and Shi Renshan are getting closer and closer, Lin Bai is getting a little angry.

If Lin Bai had not been worried about his identity being exposed and attracting the giant gods, he would have openly challenged the First Son of God long ago.

…

The next morning.

The Seven Nights Divine Sect was fully prepared. The current Sect Master Yi Gu and several other high-level warriors of the Seven Nights Divine Sect accompanied Lin Ye and others to the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

The eight mighty cloud boats were heading towards Huanglong Qianzhou where the Jiuyou Demon Palace was located. When they had just traveled about halfway, Lin Bai saw a group of people waiting in the wilderness forest ahead.

The five cloud boats hovering in the air were particularly eye-catching, especially the flags hung on them. A phoenix flapping its wings looked lifelike, as if it was about to break free from the flag and fly into the sky at any time.

The leader of Phoenix Valley was wearing a fiery red robe and had a feminine look as he stared at the Demon Palace Cloud Boat and the Seven Nights Divine Sect Cloud Boat slowly approaching from the front.

"Master, the Demon Palace Emperor and Seven Nights Divine Sect Master Yi Gu are here."

“Yes.”

The corners of the Phoenix Valley Sect Master's feminine face suddenly curled up, revealing a smile.

The elders standing beside the Phoenix Valley Sect Master whispered:

"Sect Master, in the past few months, the entire territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect has been in an uproar, saying that the Nine Nether Demon Palace has dismissed Emperor Lin Bai."

"If Emperor Lin Bai is dismissed, will the Nine Nether Demon Palace still keep its promise to our Phoenix Valley?"

Another elder asked worriedly:

"Master Sect Leader, what do you think... could this be a plan between the Nine Nether Demon Palace and Lin Bai, designed to lure us into a trap?"

"The Nine Nether Demon Palace deliberately let Lin Bai make a promise to us as the prince of the Demon Palace, and then dismissed Lin Bai from the position of prince."

"In this way, the Nine Nether Demon Palace can not only retake our Phoenix Valley, but also after Lin Bai is dismissed, the Demon Palace's promises to our Phoenix Valley will no longer be counted."

"Could this be a good strategy discussed by the Demon Palace?"

The smile on the face of the Phoenix Valley Sect Master gradually froze, his eyes suddenly turned gloomy, and there seemed to be an unsolvable haze on his face.

"We can't rule out this possibility, Master, we have to be on guard!"

The elder reminded earnestly.

The leader of Phoenix Valley took a deep breath and whispered, "It may not be a conspiracy set up by Lin Bai and Jiuyou Demon Palace."

“It’s just that this prince of the Demon Palace is indeed an expert in both training and killing enemies in battle.”

"But when it comes to scheming for power, he does lack something."

"Besides, the First God's Son has Shi Renshan, an old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years, who is giving him advice. It is natural that Emperor Lin Bai cannot be his opponent."

"Besides, Shi Renshan holds an extraordinary position in the Demon Palace, and the 'Shi Family' behind him holds a pivotal position among the many families in the Demon Palace."

"The First Son of God has basically taken advantage of everything, and how can Lin Bai, a son of the emperor who was 'airdropped' here, be their opponent?"

The Phoenix Valley elder said worriedly:

"But Master, this is not a solution."

"Rumors and drunkenness are terrible."

"Maybe one day, the Nine Nether Demon Palace will accomplish this matter. Then we in Phoenix Valley will be in trouble."

The leader of Phoenix Valley smiled gently and said to the elders around him:

"Aren't we waiting here for Emperor Lin Bai?"

"We are here to give him advice."

"Otherwise, what are we doing here waiting for him?"

Upon hearing this, the elders laughed bitterly, then an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on their faces, and a slight smile appeared on their faces.

The Demon Palace's cloud boat and the Seven Nights Divine Sect's cloud boat came closer. Lin Bai saw the Phoenix Valley's cloud boat from afar, so he came to the bow early to look at the Phoenix Valley Sect Master.

He saw the leader of Phoenix Valley from a distance and whispered:

"Did you see it?"

"Not only is your Qiye Divine Sect panicking, but Phoenix Valley is also losing its patience."

Yi Gu, who was standing next to Lin Bai, saw the leader of Phoenix Valley and gave a bitter smile:

"How come Phoenix Valley also has some deals with Brother Lin?"

Lin Bai sighed bitterly, "I was the one who negotiated the surrender of Phoenix Valley on behalf of the Demon Palace."

"I also made some promises to them on behalf of the Demon Palace."

"I guess they are more panicked than you are now."

"After all, Phoenix Valley has a 'criminal record'. Once I lose my position as the prince of the Demon Palace, according to the vengeful character of the First Son of God, Phoenix Valley will be liquidated by the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

Lin Bai saw the Phoenix Valley Sect Master and several elders waiting here, and he immediately guessed their intention.

"Let's go."

"You can't hide from it."

"Let's go see what Phoenix Valley wants to do?"

Lin Bai ordered Yun Zhou to move closer and did not choose to hide.
