Tianyaguan Pass.

As always, it was like an iron barrel.

Lin Bai, Wang Zhengyang, Qi Lingyu, Li Guxian, Lu Yunzhe and other masters came. After reporting to the higher authorities, they met the senior officials of Chu State stationed at Tianyaguan Pass in the meeting hall of Yongyeguan Pass.

However, today, there were some changes in the senior officials of Chu State. The twelve military kings of Chu State, Liang Wangye, Zhao Wangye and Shou Wangye, did not sit in the main seat.

On the main seat sat a young man dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, with a noble look. He looked at Lin Bai and Li Guxian who came in with deep and complicated eyes.

"Your Highness!"

As soon as he entered the meeting hall of Tianyaguan Pass, Lin Bai saw the young man sitting in the main seat.

This person was the former His Highness Chen Wang, and now the Crown Prince of Chu State, Chu Junyou.

The prince of Chu sat in the main seat, his handsome face was slightly pale, and his eyes were not as bright as they were in the past, but rather a little gloomy.

He was exhausted, and his eyes and expressions were quite complicated as he looked at Lin Bai and Li Guxian.

There was disappointment and helplessness on his face.

When Lin Bai and Li Guxian came in, they were obviously stunned for a moment. Lin Bai smiled bitterly twice, and Li Guxian quickly regained her composure.

In addition to His Royal Highness the Prince sitting in the main seat, there were also three military kings guarding the border of Chu State, as well as generals of all sizes in the meeting hall.

There were also the Tianjiao warriors representing the five families and seven sects of Chu State, such as Huang Qingyun, Yi Song, Di Wuyan, Chen Yule and others.

What surprised Lin Bai was that... he actually saw a man with a broken arm in the crowd, and it was Bai Yifei.

The scene suddenly froze, and everyone met and was speechless for a while.

The Crown Prince did not speak, and the others did not dare to speak easily. Finally, after a while, he said: "Everyone has come from afar, please sit down!"

When he spoke, his voice was still full of fatigue and lowness, like a traveler who had just finished a long journey.

Everyone sat down.

Wang Zhengyang and Qi Lingyu also saw that the situation was solemn, but this was a private matter between the Crown Prince and Lin Bai, Li Guxian and others, so they could not easily interrupt.

After sitting down, there was no speech, just sitting quietly.

"Brother Wang..." Qi Lingyu could not help but send a voice message: "How about we go down and rest first? Let them have a good chat first?"

Wang Zhengyang also had this intention. Just as he was about to resign and leave, the Crown Prince looked at Lin Bai and Li Guxian and spoke.

"Brother Lin, how are you?"

The Crown Prince spoke, with a little smile in his tired tone, feeling like meeting old friends.

"Your Highness, how are you?" Lin Bai was also very surprised. He didn't receive any news about when His Highness arrived at Tianya Pass.

If he had known that His Highness had arrived at Tianya Pass, he and Li Guxian would have made preparations earlier, and they wouldn't have been so embarrassed after meeting each other now.

"When did His Highness arrive at Tianya Pass?" Lin Bai asked.

His Highness said, "Since I received the news that you appeared in the border from Tianya Pass, I immediately set off from the imperial capital and arrived at Tianya Pass two or three days ago!"

"Brother Lin, if I had known that this would be the outcome today, I would not have let you leave the imperial capital!"

Lin Bai could hear that His Highness did not want to keep him in seclusion in the imperial capital, but today's outcome was a little difficult for him to accept.

The comrades who fought side by side with him in the past, like-minded friends who helped him become a meritorious official of His Highness, are now standing on the opposite side of him.

Maybe they will face each other with swords and fight to the death.

Lin Bai smiled bitterly and said, "Too many things happened that I couldn't help myself."

"I can understand." His Royal Highness nodded slightly, indicating that he could understand Lin Bai's experience and the choice he had to make.

Just like him back then.

He didn't want to fight for the position of the crown prince, nor did he want to be the emperor of Chu, but there were always some things that pushed him to move forward.

He had to fight for the throne and do those things.

He couldn't help himself.

His Royal Highness then looked at Li Guxian, who was sitting next to Lin Bai, with a little smile on his face: "Should I call you Princess Leping now? Or should I call you the goddess Li Guxian of the Nine Nether Demon Palace?"

Li Guxian took a deep breath and smiled: "As long as His Royal Highness likes, you can call me whatever you want."

His Royal Highness was suddenly stunned. Some memories in his mind were turned over. He looked a little melancholy. He opened his mouth but didn't say a word.

Li Guxian was originally a warrior from the royal family of Chu. Logically, she shouldn't betray the royal family.

Moreover, Li Guxian and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a good relationship. When they were in Kezhou, Li Guxian and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince joined forces to pacify the Blood God Cult.

And it was with the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that Li Guxian had the opportunity to return to the capital of Chu from Kezhou and successfully inherited the title of his mother, Princess Leping.

"Let's talk about business first."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little sad and had to bring the topic back. He looked at Li Guxian, Wang Zhengyang, Qi Lingyu and Lin Bai in turn.

"I already know why you all came."

"For the competition between the East Region and the North Region, Chu is willing to do its best."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said: "Now you can choose the Tianjiao in Tianya Pass to fight. I have already discussed with them. No matter who you choose, they will go all out!"

While he was speaking, he pointed to the geniuses of the five families and seven sects of Chu State, namely Yi Song, Chen Yule, Huang Qingyun, Di Wuyan, Bai Yifei and others.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince continued: "It is naturally a good thing to be able to solve the problem on the border without bloodshed. Chu State is unwilling to engage in a direct war with the Northern Territory unless it is absolutely necessary!"

Li Guxian answered first: "We have decided that the Holy Son of Wansheng Mountain Wang Zhengyang, the Holy Son of Qitian Sect Qi Lingyu, the Emperor of Jiuyou Demon Palace Lin Bai, and the First Son of God of Jiuyou Demon Palace will fight!"

"In addition, we need to trouble the Saint Huang Qingyun of the Holy Lotus Palace to fight together!"

Li Guxian did not hesitate and told her the list of names she had chosen, and at the same time invited Huang Qingyun.

Hearing that Li Guxian's final choice was Huang Qingyun of the Holy Lotus Palace, Yi Song, Chen Yule, Di Wuyan and others all looked a little discouraged.

This battle is destined to be recorded in the history of the Demon Realm. If they can fight on behalf of the Eastern Territory, they will surely be famous all over the world.

Moreover, they did not think that their cultivation strength was much weaker than that of the Northern Territory's Tianjiao. If they went to battle, they would have a chance of winning.

But in the end, Li Guxian did not choose them, which made them a little discouraged.

Huang Qingyun was stunned when she heard this. The expression on her face had changed several times, with happiness, emotion, indifference, ruthlessness, pain, helplessness... It was as if this was not an expression made by one person, but there was someone else in her body trying to seize control of her body.

"Okay." Finally, Huang Qingyun answered coldly.
