Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

In the boundless dark void, figures were hiding in the shadows, near or far.

They saw He Gongji leading Lin Bai into the void from afar, but after just a few more glances, no one came to stop them.

He Gongji ignored them, grabbed Lin Bai's shoulders, used his magical powers to fly forward, looking for the next space node.

"Emperor's son, this place is not peaceful, let's go back to a safe area first."

Lin Bai did not refuse and followed He Gongji.

In the past few months, he had been running around in the Northern Territory for a long time, and he was exhausted.

Moreover, there are so many high-level warriors gathered around the Xuanjing Clan now. If you are not careful, it is very likely that the war will escalate into a "fairy war". It is wise to leave this area first.

With He Gongji, a supreme Daoguo realm warrior accompanying him, Lin Bai did not encounter any danger in the void, and no warrior dared to stop Lin Bai and He Gongji.

As for Elder Wen and other Nine Nether Demon Palace warriors who followed Lin Bai back from the Northern Territory, there were other high-level warriors to guide them, so He Gongji didn't need to worry about it.

He Gongji's main goal was to bring Lin Bai back to the Eastern Territory smoothly.

After traveling in the void for a while, Lin Bai sensed that the powerful aura of high-level warriors lingering in the void gradually dissipated, and came to a void area where cold and darkness existed forever.

At this time.

He Gongji seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed in the void, and suddenly broke the void, revealing the real world.

This is a space node, and this space node is already in the Eastern Territory of the Demon Realm.

He Gongji broke through the void and took Lin Bai out to the Eastern Territory.

The outside world was clear, with a cloudless blue sky above his head and a green jungle with no end in sight under his feet.

And now Lin Bai and He Gongji are on a high mountain in this jungle.

In addition to Lin Bai and He Gongji, there are many other warriors waiting here.

The army belonging to the Chu State, hiding in the forest, has completely put this mountain range under martial law.

Even the highest commander of the Chu State army on the border, Prince Liang, personally sat on the top of this mountain.

Prince Liang personally stood on the top of the mountain and watched Lin Bai and He Gongji walk out of the void.

Lin Bai first nodded to Prince Liang, and then quickly looked at other places around.

In an instant, the surrounding voids broke one after another, and figures walked out of the void.

"This is a space node!"

"Then most of the warriors returning from the North Region will choose to return to the East Region at this space node."

Lin Bai murmured in a low voice.

Elder He Gongji said softly: "Emperor, this space node is marked in the 'Ancient Book of the Void' recorded in our Nine Nether Demon Palace, and we have already sent warriors to stabilize this space node to ensure that it can continue to be used."

When the Nine Nether Demon Palace was powerful 100,000 years ago, it was almost a super power that could unify the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm.

They can't be considered a prosperous force, but a super force, so powerful that there is almost no sect or family in the Demon Realm that can fight against them!

In the end, they had to "raise the power of all warriors in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm" to destroy the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

When the Nine Nether Demon Palace was powerful, it never stopped exploring the void, and they recorded everything they found in the void.

This is the so-called "Ancient Book of the Void", which marks the space nodes they found in the Demon Realm.

But space nodes do not exist forever. They will change with the passage of time and some unknown reasons, causing different changes in space nodes.

Therefore, if you want to keep a space node usable for a long time, warriors and array masters need to maintain the space node continuously.

When Prince Liang heard what He Gongji said, he smiled and said, "This time, I have to thank Jiuyou Demon Palace for being willing to give out the specific coordinates of this space node. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Prince Qin and others to escape from the Northern Territory."

He Gongji responded lightly, "Prince Liang is joking. Even if my Jiuyou Demon Palace is unwilling to give out the space node, can't Chu give it out?"

He paused and continued, "But after all, this matter was caused by our Jiuyou Demon Palace. Now that our Demon Palace is willing to send the emperor's son to the Northern Territory to rescue the Saint Son and Saint Daughter of the Eastern Territory, we are also willing to give out the coordinates of the space node to make up for the mistakes we have made."

Prince Liang smiled and did not continue.

At this moment, the space around the top of the mountain broke open one after another, and figures walked out of it.

Lin Bai immediately saw the old woman with the Star Sect Saint Mo Nan, and the strong man with the Moon Sect Saint Li Xuanqiu... and many top strong men in the East Region.

The warriors of the Nine Nether Demon Palace were also led out one after another. After Wen Lao walked out of the void, he came to Lin Bai with a smile.

"Wen Lao, are you okay?"

After the action within the Xuanjing Clan began, Lin Bai sent Wen Lao out to help the Eastern Region Saint Son and Saint Daughter escape from the Xuanjing Clan.

So from the beginning, he was not by Lin Bai's side, and now he has just returned.

At the same time, Lin Bai also handed Leng Xingguang to Wen Lao to take away.

After all, Leng Xingguang is different from other Eastern Region Saint Sons and Saint Daughters. They all have strong men from their own sects and families to protect them.

But the sect "Fengxue Villa" where Leng Xingguang is located obviously does not have the ability to participate in disputes of this level between the Northern Territory and the Eastern Territory.

They did not have enough strong men to protect Leng Xingguang, so Lin Bai could only ask Mr. Wen to protect Leng Xingguang and leave first.

"Haha, although some methods have been used, it is still not a serious problem."

Mr. Wen looked a little pale, but Lin Bai could tell that he was not seriously injured.

Then Lin Bai looked around the top of the mountain. As the saints and saints of the Eastern Region walked out of the void under the protection of the strong men of their families and sects, Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Lin Bai said to Elder He Gongji: "Elder He Gongji, could you please tell them to count the number of saints and saints in the Eastern Territory and make sure that all the saints and saints in the Eastern Territory have come out."

He Gongji nodded slightly and communicated with Prince Liang. Both parties began to count the number and safety of the saints and saints in the Eastern Region.

After careful counting by He Gongji and Prince Liang, except for Mei Lin, the holy son of the Yang Sect, and Dugu Ming, the holy son of the Xuanming Holy Sect, the other saints and saints have successfully returned to the Eastern Region.

"Brother Lin, thank you for the rescue." After the Star Sect saint Mo Nan calmed down, she stepped forward and thanked him.

Now that Mo Nan has returned to the powerful Star Sect, he naturally doesn't have to worry about other things.

After returning to the Eastern Region, Mo Nan naturally had to thank Lin Bai.

"Brother Lin, thank you very much."

"Thank you very much, Prince Qin."

With Mo Nan taking the lead in thanking him, other saints and saints from the Eastern Region also followed suit.

Even the Saints Kong Qiwen, Ling Huojun and others from Qitian Sect who had some grudges against Lin Bai all handed over their hands to express their thanks.

"You don't need to say thank you."

Lin Bai smiled easily: "Since you have returned to the Eastern Region, please go back and have a good rest."

At the same time, the powerful men from various sects who had rescued the Saint Son and Saint Daughter of the Eastern Territory also thanked Prince Liang one after another.

On the contrary, Jiuyou Demon Palace and He Gongji, who contributed the most in this rescue plan, did not receive the gratitude of any powerful person.

He Gongji didn't feel anything wrong with this, he just smiled and didn't take it to heart.

After all, although the Nine Nether Demon Palace has rebuilt the mountain gate, the stereotype of the Demon Realm's Eastern Region warriors towards the Nine Nether Demon Palace has not weakened.

Many sects and families in the Eastern Region still have a hostile attitude toward the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

"You don't need to say thank you."

"I have made arrangements in Tianya Pass. You can take your sect's warriors to have a short rest in Tianya Pass, and then return to your territory one after another."

Prince Liang nodded calmly and arranged for the saints and saints of the sect who had come from afar to rest temporarily in Tianya Pass.

After the Xingzong old woman thanked Prince Liang a few times, she wanted to take Mo Nan away from here.

Before Mo Nan left, he asked Lin Bai: "Brother Lin, what about Mei Lin and Dugu Ming?"

"Are we really going to ignore them?"

Lin Bai was stunned by the question and didn't know how to answer for a while.

After all, although Mei Lin and Dugu Ming took the initiative to leave the team, they were used as bait by Lin Bai.

But after all, they are the Holy Sons who belong to the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, and they are both from the All Saints Mountain territory like Mo Nan and Li Xuanqiu.

The sects that both belong to the Eastern Territory and the All Saints Mountain territory must still be concerned about these two people.

Prince Liang said calmly: "You don't need to take care of these two. Naturally, the strong men of their sect will take care of them!"

"Besides, Prince Qin has already summoned the Zhaoxing Division and said that it was Mei Lin and Dugu Ming who acted recklessly and insisted on their own way, and took the initiative to leave the team. In this case, they can't blame us."

Mo Nan nodded when he heard this and didn't dwell too much on this matter.

His relationship with Dugu Ming and Mei Lin was not good, but because they both belonged to the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm and came from the same territory, he asked them a few more polite questions.

Later, the powerful men from each major sect took the Saint Son and Saint Lady of the Eastern Region back to Tianya Pass to rest temporarily.

They should not be in a hurry to leave Tianya Pass for the time being, but will stay in Tianya Pass for a while to let the saints and saints of the Eastern Region have a good rest.

"The only ones left are Dugu Ming and Mei Lin, right?"

After the other saints and saints from the Eastern Territory left, Lin Bai asked Prince Liang and Elder He Gongji.

Prince Liang nodded slightly: "These two people and the sect behind them will probably suffer."

"The elders of Yang Zong and the ancestors of the Xuanming Holy Sect are strong men who took the initiative to enter the Xuanjing clan and intervene in the Northern Territory. Naturally, the Northern Territory will not give them a good look."

"I'm afraid that not only Mei Lin and Dugu Ming can't leave the Northern Territory, but even the strong men sent by his sect to rescue will have a hard time escaping."

Lin Bai also quite agreed with Prince Liang's answer.

The Xuanjing Clan was originally the frontline bridgehead for warriors from the Northern Territory, and now 80% of the top warriors from the Northern Territory are on the frontier.

Even if the strong men of Yangzong and Xuanming Holy Sect have extraordinary abilities, they will never be able to escape as long as Beiyu is unwilling to let them go.

The North Territory is unwilling to let people go... This sentence suddenly appeared in Lin Bai's mind, and a light flashed in his heart, as if he had caught some inspiration.

But at the next moment, this trace of inspiration suddenly disappeared, and then his brows slowly wrinkled.

I had a hunch that something seemed a little abnormal!

He Gongji saw something wrong with Lin Bai's expression and asked, "What's wrong, Emperor? But was he injured just now?"

"Otherwise, the prince should go back to Yongye Pass to rest, and I can handle the next things."

"I'm not injured." Lin Bai shook his head calmly, but he couldn't relax his frown:

"I just think...isn't this a little too smooth!"

"Too smooth?" He Gongji was a little confused by Lin Bai's words, including Prince Liang.

Isn't the plan too smooth, isn't it good?

After a while, Lin Bai quickly calmed down and reviewed it in his mind.

From Lin Bai and Wen Lao's departure to the Burial God Clan, to rescuing the Eastern Region Saint Son and Saint Daughter from the Refining God Sect, and then escaping from the Burial God Clan.

Wandering all the way and avoiding the pursuit of the Refining God Sect warriors, there is no doubt about all this.

The reason why they were able to escape the pursuit of the Refining God Sect was entirely because Lin Bai planned well and constantly confused the audience, so that the Refining God Sect could not track them down to their specific location.

And the place where Lin Bai felt suspicious started from the Xuanjing Clan.

"The Xuanjing Clan is the bridgehead of the Northern Territory warriors on the front line, and it is now the gathering place of the top warriors in the Northern Territory!"

"There are probably more than one or two hundred warriors in the Supreme Dao Fruit Realm, Chaos Dao Fruit Realm, and Hunyuan Dao Fruit Realm here!"

"With so many top combat forces in the Demon Realm here, even if we have made proper arrangements and there are Eastern Territory warriors secretly guiding them, it is impossible to break through the blockade of the Northern Territory and return to the Eastern Territory so easily, right?"

"Yes, the doubt is... breaking through the blockade of the Northern Territory!"

"We broke through the blockade of the Northern Territory too easily, so easily that it seems as if the Northern Territory deliberately let us leave the Northern Territory?"

"But..."

Lin Bai's brows tightened, and his doubts grew stronger.

"But why did the Northern Territory do this?"

"Why did they let us escape from the Northern Territory even though they had set up a net of heaven and earth in the Xuanjing Clan?"

"Since they wanted to stop us, why didn't they go all out?"

"What on earth were they thinking?"

"Not only these Northern Territory warriors, but also Bu Junfeng... All my suspicions started with Bu Junfeng."

Lin Bai closed his eyes and felt a little confused when he recalled the time when he encountered Bu Junfeng in the Xuanjing Clan.

Bu Junfeng's strength was not much different from his, and the two were on the same level.

Even if Elder He Gongji secretly helped Lin Bai in the void, Bu Junfeng could not have no power to resist and just watched He Gongji take Lin Bai away from the Xuanjing Clan.

And the way Bu Junfeng behaved was more like... he had no intention of stopping Lin Bai in the Xuanjing Clan at all.

And the provocative words he said when he appeared, such as "The battle of the arrogance will be brought forward today", seemed to be completely confusing!

"What is the Northern Territory planning?"

Lin Bai suddenly became alert.
