Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Lin Bai felt a headache.

After all, the kidnapped Holy Son has become the most critical issue.

Although His Highness the Third Prince once said...the Holy Son is only the Holy Son of the sect, and cannot influence the interests of any sect.

But the Holy Son is extremely important to any sect.

They are all talented people selected with great effort, and they are the result of many years of training.

Some sects even have almost half of their sect's heritage imbued in the Holy Son.

It is absolutely impossible to give up such an important person just because he wants to.

Therefore, almost none of the sect leaders who came to the star-catching stage had a good look on them.

but.

Just as the third prince said...if a sect is asked to choose between the interests of the sect and the Holy Son, then they will naturally put the interests of the sect first.

But according to the current situation... what kind of benefits can make a sect abandon the Holy Son?

Lin Bai's furrowed brows could not relax for a long time.

"Yi Gu, where is your Seven Nights Divine Sect?"

After Lin Bai was silent for a while, he asked the Seven Nights Divine Sect for their opinion.

Yi Gu seemed a little reserved and did not take the initiative to speak from beginning to end.

He also knew very well that with his current status, he was not qualified to participate in Lin Bai's affairs, and the current situation of the Seven Nights Divine Sect was also extremely bad.

But since Lin Bai asked, Yi Gu still told the internal situation of the Seven Nights Sect.

"The situation of the Seven Nights Divine Sect is very complicated."

"Our attitude in our hearts is naturally to fight."

"only……"

Before the grand banquet at the Star Reaching Platform, the Seven Nights Divine Sect Territory also gathered the top sects within the sect together for a discussion.

Although no good results were obtained, it was still an encounter.

Qiye Shenzong knew full well that this battle was inevitable.

But the Seven Nights Divine Sect also has difficulties. Nowadays, their territory is severely divided, and there are endless internal fights within the sect.

It is obviously difficult to unite the forces to start a war with the Northern Territory.

Yi Gu sighed lightly and said, "Brother Lin, you obviously already know something about the situation in our territory."

"Long-term internal fighting and divisions have caused the Seven Nights Sect to gradually lose its prestige in the territory. We cannot use force to force the sects in the territory to surrender like Qitian Sect and Wansheng Mountain."

"If we really do this, perhaps there will be another war within our territory before the decisive battle with the Northern Territory."

"So we can only have friendly discussions and hope that the major sects can put aside their grudges and share the same hatred."

Yi Gu slowly analyzed the situation in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect. Judging from his current vision and gaze, he felt a little like the Holy Son.

He continued: "Now I can only tell you the attitude of all the forces in the Seven Nights Divine Sect!"

"First of all, the Seven Nights Divine Sect is the main combatant."

"If the Northern Territory invades the Eastern Territory, the Seven Nights Divine Sect borders the Northern Territory. Judging from the current situation of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, the Northern Territory will give priority to the Seven Nights Divine Sect to invade."

"So we are eager to stand on a united front with the Chu State. If the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect is invaded, we hope that the Chu State can provide help."

Yi Gu's words were much more straightforward.

He bluntly stated the current predicament of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, and also made it clear... If the Northern Territory invades, he hopes to get help from the Chu State.

"Of course, we will not let Chu State's attack go in vain."

"If we defeat the Northern Territory and the Seven Nights Divine Sect is still there at that time, then we will be very grateful."

"Chu State can take the initiative to offer specific thanks."

After Yi Gu finished speaking to Lin Bai, he then said to Qi Tianzong and Wang Zhengyang: "Not only the Chu Kingdom, but also Qi Tianzong and Wansheng Mountain. If the fate of the Seven Nights Sect's territory is really hanging by a thread, please invite the two sects. , don’t sit idly by and ignore it.”

Qi Lingyu and Wang Zhengyang both nodded slightly, not explicitly agreeing, but not rejecting either.

"This is the attitude of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."

"Next, I will talk about the attitudes of the other five top sects in the territory."

Yi Gu had just said that the Seven Nights Divine Sect had lost its prestige in the territory, and they could not use force to force the sects in the territory to cooperate like the Qitian Sect and Wansheng Mountain did.

They can only negotiate, hoping that the sects within the territory can put aside their grudges and share the same hatred.

Yi Gu whispered: "The first is Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect."

"The saint sons of these two sects are Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang respectively. They are also close friends with Brother Lin."

"Brother Lin should know their personalities very well."

"The Fantian Sect and the Baitian Sect have made it clear that if the Northern Territory invades the territory of the Seven Nights Sect, their two sects will resist until the last person in the sect."

Lin Bai was not surprised that Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect chose to take the main battle.

There are five major sects in the territory of Qiye Shenzong. In addition to Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect, there are also Qinglian Sect, Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley.

Yi Gu said: "Chun Yang Sect and Phoenix Valley, they are in harmony and believe that the Seven Nights Sect cannot be the opponent of the Northern Territory."

"If the Northern Territory invades the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, they hope that the Seven Nights Divine Sect can come forward to negotiate peace, even if it means ceding territory."

"hehe."

Hearing this, Qi Lingyu immediately sneered and said: "Since Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley are willing to cede territory for peace, then I think... if the Seven Nights Sect cannot resist the Northern Territory, then the territories of Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley will be taken over first Cede it out.”

Yi Gu sighed: "That's the problem."

"Brother Qi doesn't know about the territorial divisions within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."

"The mountain gates of Fantian Sect, Worshiping Heaven Sect and Qiye Shen Sect are the closest to the Northern Territory."

"If we want to cede territory, it will most likely be from our three major sects."

"As for Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley, their mountain gate is in the middle of the Seven Nights Sect's territory. No matter how much we cede, we can't cede their territory."

"As for the Qinglian Sect...Brother Lin should know very well that the Qinglian Sect is already on the border of the Seven Nights Sect, bordering the Chu Kingdom."

Hearing what Yi Gu said, Lin Bai immediately understood why Fantian Sect, Baitian Sect, and Qiye Shenzong were determined to resist to the death.

These three major sects are closest to the Northern Territory.

Once the Northern Territory enters the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, the sects that will bear the brunt of facing the enemy are these three major sects.

Their sect leaders also knew very well that even if they eventually had to cede territory for peace, there was a high probability that they would have to cede their territory.

Qinglian Sect borders Chu State, and Lin Bai also knows this.

Once upon a time, the Qinglian Sect invaded the territory of the Chu State, but later the Chu State gave him a good education, and the Qinglian Sect sent the Son to Mingyuefang Moon Palace to be an oiran.

Qinglian Sect is now in a state of collapse.

Fantian Sect, Worshiping Heaven Sect, and Qiye Shen Sect would naturally not be willing.

So they fought to the death without even thinking about it.

As for the Chunyang Sect and the Phoenix Clan who advocated for peace, it was because even if they wanted to cede territory, it would not be possible to cede their territory.

Yi Gu continued: "The situation of Qinglian Sect has not been very good in recent years, and the talents in the sect have withered."

"Brother Lin should know very well."

"Back then, the Qinglian Sect invaded the territory of the Chu State and was beaten to the point of running away. The saints were all sent to Mingyuefang to be oirans."

"This has had a huge impact on the reputation of the Qinglian Sect within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, so much so that the Qinglian Sect has not had many outstanding geniuses these years."
