"After all, this is a matter for the Taoist sect. Why do I, the Flying Sword Immortal Sect, care about so many things?"

"I'd better not go investigate Lin Bai, lest I make Master Ling Tianzi unhappy. When I return to the spirit world, I might have to call Master Ling Tianzi to teach him a lesson."

"The gain is not worth the loss!"

The great magical power user of Fei Sword Immortal Sect drank wine, walked towards the depths of the void, and said to himself:

"But since Lin Bai has learned the art of flying sword, he can be regarded as half a descendant of my flying sword sect."

"Speaking of which, he and our Flying Sword Immortal Sect are neither enemies nor friends, so it would be nice to have a romantic relationship."

His voice became smaller and smaller, gradually disappearing into the dark and boundless void.

…

Under the escort of He Gongji, Lin Bai returned to Yongye Pass again. He also told the story of the great supernatural power he had just visited.

Elder He Gongji frowned after hearing this: "A great magical power from the Flying Sword Immortal Sect in the spiritual world?"

"Come here specifically for the emperor's flying sword technique?"

He rubbed his brows and felt a headache: "Hey, the Feijian Immortal Sect is very powerful in the spiritual world, and it is among the best among the ten righteous sects in the spiritual world."

"I will report this matter to the Palace Master and ask him to make the decision."

Li Guxian, who was following Lin Bai, said: "No need to bother, the Feijian Immortal Sect doesn't have any ill intentions yet."

"Besides, I estimate that the Palace Master already knows what is happening here. If something really goes wrong, he will definitely not stand idly by."

Elder He Gongji nodded and smiled: "What Goddess Li Guxian said is absolutely true, but whether the palace master knows what is going on here is one thing, and as the supreme commander of Yongye Pass, whether I report it or not is another matter.

It’s the same thing.”

Li Guxian nodded and did not hesitate any further.

Elder He Gongji said to Lin Bai again: "I happened to see the emperor today, and I also have some things to discuss with him."

"I wonder if disciples have time, so we can go to the meeting hall to discuss it?"

Lin Bai did not refuse and followed Elder He Gongji to the meeting hall. Elder Wen, Li Guxian, the Second God Son, the Third God Son and others also followed.

After arriving at the meeting hall, Elder He Gongji sat in the main seat and was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he waited until Shi Renshan and the First Son of God arrived before starting the discussion.

Elder He Gongji sat in the main seat, Lin Bai sat in the first place on the left, and the second divine son, the third divine son, and the ninth divine goddess sat at the bottom in sequence.

Elder Shi Renshan sits in the first place on the right, and the First Son of God sits at the bottom.

Judging from the current situation, Lin Bai's status in Jiuyou Demon Palace seems to be able to sit at the same table as Shi Renshan, the eternal elder.

When Elder He Gongji saw that all the people had arrived, he said in a deep voice: "The main thing that we have been invited to discuss today is the celebration banquet hosted by Prince Liang of Chu State!"

Celebration banquet?... Lin Bai suddenly recalled that after the Tianjian Peak competition ended that day, Prince Liang publicly invited Jiuyou Demon Palace, Wansheng Mountain, Qitian Sect and other participating sects to attend the celebration banquet.

The time is just three days later.

But now two days have passed, and the celebration banquet is just one day away.

Elder He Gongji said straight to the point: "Now the problem between the Eastern Territory and the Northern Territory has been temporarily solved through this competition."

"Although the Northern Territory has not withdrawn its troops, in a short period of time they are afraid of the pressure from the three ancient forces and will not dare to offend the Eastern Territory easily."

"Prince Liang is holding a celebration banquet now. According to my speculation, one is to truly celebrate the victory and reward the meritorious officials of this competition."

"Second thing...most likely they are coming for our Nine Nether Demon Palace."

Lin Bai nodded in deep agreement. As the saying goes, "internal and external troubles", now that the external troubles have been resolved, it is time to deal with the internal worries.

The Nine Nether Demon Palace caused such a big disturbance in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, destroying the Seven Nights Divine Sect and rebuilding the mountain gate.

Previously, the four most powerful forces in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, Wansheng Mountain, Chu Kingdom, and Qitian Sect were all busy with matters within their respective territories and had no time or energy to take care of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

Now that the situation in the Eastern and Northern Regions has just stabilized, the Chu State will naturally immediately point its finger at the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

This celebration banquet should be a true head-to-head confrontation between the Nine Nether Demon Palace and the three most powerful forces in the Eastern Demon Realm.

"I have reported the matter of this celebration banquet to the Council of Elders in the Demon Palace."

Elder He Gongji leaned back on his chair and said solemnly: "I'm calling you here today just to see what you think."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace fell into deep thought.

Only the First Son of God spoke directly at an inappropriate time: "What else do you think? Now that we have defeated the Northern Territory, if Chu wants to go to war with us, then we will fight him!"

"Is it possible that we are still afraid of them?"

Although Shi Renshan felt that the First God Son was a little impulsive, at this moment he still felt that the First God Son's words were reasonable:

"I think what the First Son of God said is right. After all, this is the first challenge we face outside the rebuilding of the Nine Nether Demon Palace's mountain gate."

"If we shrink from this battle, then the Demon Palace's comeback will not become a huge joke."

This time not only Shi Renshan supported the statement of the First God Son, but even Li Guxian also chose to agree:

"That's right, we must be tough when facing Chu State, Qitian Sect, and Wansheng Mountain."

"But don't be too tough."

"We have to choose the right angle."

Li Guxian looked at He Gongji, then at Lin Bai, and continued:

"We can neither make the Chu State feel that the Nine Nether Demon Palace is too strong and domineering; nor can we make the Chu State feel that the Nine Nether Demon Palace is too weak and make them look down on us too much."

"We are too overbearing. The three most prosperous sects of Chu State and Qitian Sect will think that our Jiuyou Demon Palace is a potential danger."

"If we are too weak, they will look down upon us excessively and think that we are weak and can be bullied."
