Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

"Prince Qin, calm down!"

"Please accept your magical powers for the time being."

A line of green light flew out from the main peak of the Ninety-nine Peaks of Qinglian Sect, came to Lin Bai and Chu Zimo, and transformed into an old man with an apologetic smile on his face.

Lin Bai saw that this person was very strange and was not the master of the Qinglian Sect.

"Who are you?"

"Where is the leader of the Qinglian Sect?"

"Why don't you come out to see me?"

Lin Bai stared at the old man in front of him with cold eyes, and his tone began to sound a little unkind.

"I am the great elder of Qinglian Sect."

The old man reported his identity and then said: "The sect master of the humble sect is currently practicing in seclusion and has not yet come out of seclusion, so he cannot come to see Prince Qin and His Highness the Crown Prince!"

In retreat?

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, with a somewhat incredulous look on his face.

Not to mention that as the leader of a top sect, he must devote most of his energy to dealing with the sect's affairs, leaving little time for retreat.

Besides...what kind of pass is it now?

Now is the civil war in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect. As one of the five top sects of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, the leader of the Qinglian Sect suddenly announced his retreat. Isn’t this nonsense?

However, after Shaoqing Lin Bai took a closer look, he came up with a conjecture.

That is because Qinglian Sect has not yet made up its mind on which party to help, so the sect leader will use this excuse to thank guests behind closed doors.

At the same time, he is also secretly paying attention to the changes in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, waiting for the best opportunity.

But after Lin Bai thought about it carefully, he felt it was impossible.

The leader of the Qinglian Sect cannot come out of seclusion. Even if the Nine Nether Demon Palace and the Qiye Shen Sect send people to discuss it, who in the sect will make the decision?

Is it the great elder in front of me?

Although the Great Elder is an indispensable position within the sect, he cannot yet represent the sect leader of the Qinglian Sect.

He couldn't make the decision at all.

In other words... the leader of the Qinglian Sect announced that he would not see outsiders, which was equivalent to acquiescing not to participate in this civil war?

The more Lin Bai thought about it, the deeper his frown deepened.

It is definitely not that simple for the leader of Qinglian Sect to retreat at this moment.

Immediately.

Lin Bai changed the subject and said: "I remember that when the Nine Nether Demon Palace and the warriors from the Northern Territory joined forces to besiege the top sects leaving the imperial capital, they kidnapped most of the saints, saints and sect ancestors."

"But... Qinglian Sect doesn't seem to have been attacked?"

The Great Elder of the Qinglian Sect smiled bitterly and said: "Prince Qin is right. Perhaps it is also because the saint daughter of my Qinglian Sect has died in the imperial capital, and the Nine Nether Demon Palace feels that we are no longer important."

Lin Bai's face darkened, and he nodded with a wry smile.

When the Nine Nether Demon Palace was making trouble in the imperial capital, it assassinated many saints in Mingyuefang, one of whom was the saint of the Qinglian Sect.

It was also by taking this opportunity that the leader of the Qinglian Sect begged Emperor Chu for mercy and released Miss Yunke, who was working as an oiran in Mingyuefang, and allowed him to return to the Qinglian Sect.

"Since you haven't encountered an attack."

"Yunzhou returned to Qinglian Sect successfully."

"So... I have been friends with Miss Yunke from your sect for many years. I wonder if I can meet her now?"

Yunzhou of the Qinglian Sect was not attacked, and Yunzhou returned to the Qinglian Sect smoothly.

Then Miss Yunke should also be in the Qinglian Sect at this moment.

Since I can't meet the leader of Qinglian Sect, it would be good to meet Miss Yun Ke.

After all, Miss Yunke's identity is that of a saint of the previous generation. Even if her identity is unlikely to become a saint of the Qinglian Sect at this moment, her status within the sect will certainly not be too low.

She is also the eldest daughter of the contemporary head of the Qinglian Sect.

"What a coincidence."

The great elder of the Qinglian Sect still smiled apologetically and said, "The saint has also gone into seclusion."

"Ah?" Lin Bai couldn't help being surprised and asked, "Miss Yunke has regained her status as a saint?"

The Great Elder of the Qinglian Sect nodded and said: "Yes, after all, the Saint has paid so much for the sect back then. Now that she has been able to get out of trouble, it is natural to restore her rightful status in the Qinglian Sect."

Lin Bai was silent for a while.

The leader of the Qinglian Sect has gone into seclusion?

Miss Yunke also went into seclusion?

Lin Bai felt a little strange in his heart, but he did not show it. Instead, he turned his head and glanced inside the mountain gate of Qinglian Sect, and saw the disciples, all looking at Lin Bai and others with unkind expressions.

The Great Elder of the Qinglian Sect said: "When Prince Qin and His Highness the Crown Prince come to the Qinglian Sect, they must not be passing by to enjoy the sights. If the two adults have something to discuss, I can reluctantly make the decision."

"Can you make the decision?" Lin Bai raised his eyebrows.

Although the position of Grand Elder has considerable power within the sect, it does not have the right to declare war on behalf of the sect.

For this matter, there must be a sect leader.

But since the great elder said so, Lin Bai didn't want to go on a wasted trip, so he said: "In that case, let's speak out."

"The State of Chu has received a request for assistance from the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect. The army will arrive at the border of the Chu State in the near future. At that time, the Chu State's army will inevitably pass through the territory of the Qinglian Sect."

"We came here first because we wanted to ask about the intentions of the Qinglian Sect?"

Lin Bai paused and continued: "After all, the Qinglian Sect has been watching silently since the Seven Nights Divine Sect's civil war. What exactly does the Qinglian Sect want to do? Please give a clear explanation from the Qinglian Sect."

When the great elder of Qinglian Sect heard this, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and there was a flash of light in the depths of his eyes.

Lin Bai seemed to be here to ask about the Qinglian Sect's intentions, but in fact... his words were so sharp, it was like he was here to declare war.

Especially Lin Bai's last sentence made Qinglian Sect give a clear explanation.

The implication is self-evident.

If the Qinglian Sect wants to help the Nine Nether Demon Palace, then after the Chu army enters the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, I am afraid that the Qinglian Sect will be the first sect to be destroyed.

"Prince Qin is joking."

"Our Qinglian Sect has a small business and is not comparable to other sects. We do not want to interfere in this war."

The Great Elder of the Qinglian Sect said with a wry smile: "As for the Chu State's rush to aid the Seven Nights Divine Sect, after the Chu State's army enters the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, they can just leave. We, the Qinglian Sect, will never stop them in the slightest."

Lin Bai fell silent after hearing this.

Chu Zimo sneered: "If the Qinglian Sect doesn't want to participate in this civil war, then why did it summon so many disciples back to the sect?"

The Great Elder of Qinglian Sect replied: "Your Highness, although we do not want to participate in this war, we also want to protect ourselves."

"The purpose of calling the disciples back in advance is to ensure that the Qinglian Sect can escape unscathed from this war."

Chu Zimo didn't say anything more, but silently glanced at Lin Bai.

"The words of the Great Elder of Qinglian Sect are enough."

"Can I ask the Great Elder of the Qinglian Sect to give us some jade orders so that when the Chu army passes through the territory of the Qinglian Sect, they will not be blocked by the Qinglian Sect and its vassal forces."

Lin Bai said with a smile.

"That's natural." The great elder of Qinglian Sect agreed repeatedly.

Lin Bai suddenly stretched, looked around, and said, "His Royal Highness and I have been running around for a long time, and it will take some time for the army of Chu to arrive. Can I borrow the treasure land to rest for two days?"

Lin Bai suddenly proposed to rest in Qinglian Sect for two days. Not only Chu Zimo was surprised, but even the great elder of Qinglian Sect was a little stunned.
