Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Not to mention the "nightmare army" composed of Dao realm warriors, let's talk about seven supreme Dao fruit realm warriors, fifteen Chaos Dao fruit realm warriors, and twenty-one Hunyuan Dao fruit realm warriors.

Two hundred Daluo Daoguo realm warriors and Taiyi Daoguo realm warriors, this luxurious lineup is comparable to many top forces.

At least in Lin Bai's concept, the troops deployed by Jiuyou Demon Palace to support Lin Bai were stronger than the overall strength of Tianshui Sect.

"These are just the troops mobilized from the Nine Nether Demon Palace. The main force is still in front of Chunyang Sect."

"How strong are the front troops of the Nine Nether Demon Palace?"

"One hundred thousand years!"

"Nine Nether Demon Palace has been preparing for today's battle for a hundred thousand years!"

"With a hundred thousand years of preparation, Jiuyou Demon Palace has really prepared everything!"

Lin Bai understood that the overall strength and foundation of the Nine Nether Demon Palace was stronger than he imagined.

But then he was also a little curious, how did the Nine Nether Demon Palace cultivate so many masters!

After careful thinking and analysis in Lin Bai's mind, he came to a complete conclusion.

"In the past hundred thousand years, the warriors of Jiuyou Demon Palace basically spent their time in Jiuyou City."

"Nine Nether Demon Palace's system for cultivating strong men is divided into two types."

"The first type is the warriors in Jiuyou City."

"After a hundred thousand years of reproduction and reproduction, there are already several million warriors in Jiuyou City."

"They have been active underground for a long time, and even some warriors have never been able to get out of the underground from birth to death."

"These Jiuyou City warriors who are protected and paid attention to by the Nine Nether Demon Palace have become the most staunch supporters of the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

"Nine Nether Demon Palace will hardly consider the issue of betrayal by Jiu Nether City warriors, because these warriors are the true direct descendants of Jiu Nether Demon Palace!"

"In one hundred thousand years, many geniuses will inevitably be born in Jiuyou City, and many strong men will also be born."

"This is the layout and accumulation of the Nine Nether Demon Palace for a hundred thousand years!"

"Similar to the First Divine Son, the Second Divine Son, the Third Divine Son, Daoist Yu You, and other geniuses, they are all warriors born and raised in Jiuyou City."

"Growing up in Jiuyou City since childhood, they have grown up under the education and protection of Jiuyou Demon Palace. They are absolutely loyal to the Demon Palace!"

"..."

"The second type is the steering from the outside world."

"In order to rebuild the mountain gate, Jiuyou Demon Palace has set up branches all over the Demon Realm. It uses infiltration plans to gradually influence the forces in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm."

"If within the branch, a talent is found that has talent, and after being recommended by the branch, they can go to Jiuyou City to practice."

"It's just that most of these warriors who are recommended by the branch to go to Jiuyou City to practice, never return."

"The reason is also very simple. Before the Demon Palace decides to truly start the 'comeback' plan, any warrior who enters Jiuyou City from the outside will not be allowed to go out."

"To put it simply... the geniuses recommended by the branch to go to Jiuyou City will basically have to live in Jiuyou City for the rest of their lives."

"The representative figure is 'Li Guxian'."

"Li Guxian was originally a warrior who belonged to Kezhou, one of the eighteen imperial states of the Chu Kingdom. His father was a warrior who belonged to the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

"Later, under the arrangement of his father, Li Guxian went to Jiuyou Demon Palace to practice."

"If it weren't for the fact that the Jiuyou Demon Palace decided to launch a ten thousand year plan to bring the Demon Palace back to the world, otherwise, Li Guxian would never have appeared in the Eastern Territory again."

"..."

Thinking of this, Lin Bai's thoughts gradually fell on the system of cultivating geniuses in Jiuyou Demon Palace:

"And within Jiuyou City, the Demon Palace has a complete training system."

"There are detailed correspondences from ordinary warriors to Young Master, Spirit Son, Holy Son, Dao Son, and Divine Son."

"It doesn't matter who you are or what your background is. As long as you are loyal to the Demon Palace and as long as you have enough talent, the Demon Palace will be willing to train you!"

"So for a time, the geniuses of the Demon Palace emerged like a spurt, creating a large number of high-level warriors."

"..."

"Cultivation of talented people naturally requires resources."

"But Jiuyou Demon Palace doesn't have to consider these things at all."

"Because when the Nine Nether Demon Palace was powerful a hundred thousand years ago, nine treasures were left behind."

"Those treasures, even one treasure, are treasures that can turn a third-rate force into a powerful force."

"And after hundreds of thousands of years of searching by the Demon Palace, except for Chu State, Qiye Shen Sect, Wansheng Mountain, and Qitian Sect, who each took away a treasure when they destroyed Jiuyou Demon Palace, the other five treasures were all stolen by the Demon Palace. Found it.”

"These treasures are enough to support the Nine Nether Demon Palace to cultivate geniuses and cultivate a large number of strong men."

Thoughts emerged in Lin Bai's mind one after another, making him truly feel how terrifying and powerful the Nine Nether Demon Palace was!

"No wonder one hundred thousand years have passed and the Nine Nether Demon Palace has not been eradicated in the demon world. Now there are still warriors from the Eastern Region who keep chanting the slogan of wiping out the remnants of the Demon Palace."

"This kind of powerful force is really difficult to exterminate."

"Any back-up preparation they made a hundred thousand years ago is enough for them to reappear in the world!"

"And the forces with this kind of ability can definitely do it in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm today, such as Chu State and Wansheng Mountain!"

Lin Bai couldn't help but fantasize...if the Wansheng Mountain and the Chu State were to be destroyed one day, would they leave behind preparations like the Nine Nether Demon Palace and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback?

The answer is... definitely.

Perhaps Wansheng Mountain and Chu State have already made many back-up preparations, and the difficulty of destroying them is definitely no less difficult than destroying the Nine Nether Demon Palace a hundred thousand years ago.

"The same reason, the Nine Nether Demon Palace with such a foundation and a sect full of masters still needs to be cautious now."

"The pool of water in the demon world is deeper than I imagined!"

After taking two long breaths, Lin Bai gathered his scattered thoughts and asked Wen Lao:

"When can these warriors enter the territory of Phoenix Valley?"

"I mean... enter the capital territory of Phoenix Valley?"

These warriors are all warriors drawn out by Li Guxian to support Lin Bai. They don't have much effect in other territories of Phoenix Valley. Only in the capital territory of Phoenix Valley can they play the greatest effect.

Of course.

Lin Bai also knows that it must be extremely difficult to carry out such a large-scale army and such a large-scale strong crossing, and to hide their whereabouts.

This will take a lot of time.

After careful consideration, Elder Wen replied:

"According to my discussion with them, they think that they may not be able to enter the territory of Phoenix Valley Capital after seven days!"

"No."

As soon as Elder Wen finished speaking, Lin Bai shook his head with a straight face:

"Seven days is too long."

"Where are they now?"

Elder Wen replied: "It is not far from the territory of Phoenix Valley Capital, but it takes a lot of time for large-scale warriors to move."

Lin Bai thought for a while and replied: "Since it is not far from the territory of Phoenix Valley Capital, then tell them that there is no need to deliberately hide their whereabouts."

"Appropriately reveal your whereabouts and let Phoenix Valley know their movements."

"Even...how can Phoenix Valley not find them? They must take the initiative to let Phoenix Valley know their arrival!"

"But don't be too deliberate."

"Pretend to be secretly discovered by Phoenix Valley. Don't deliberately expose yourself, which will make Phoenix Valley suspicious."

Elder Wen nodded and agreed.

Lin Bai continued, "Let them move at full speed and enter the territory of the Phoenix Valley capital within three days."

"After entering the territory of the Phoenix Valley capital, there is no need to move forward rashly, just wander on the border."

"Wait for my order."

"Yes, I will pass the order now." Wen Lao nodded and agreed. After listening to Lin Bai's arrangement, he used the secret method to contact those strong men.

While Wen Lao was passing the order, Lin Bai continued to stand at the window, looking at the magnificent scenery of Phoenix Valley.

His face was still gloomy: "Now Phoenix Valley can only take the initiative to find me."

...

After Phoenix Valley arranged the residence for Lin Bai and the warriors of Jiuyou Demon Palace, the entire sect became quiet again.

But the senior leaders of Phoenix Valley sat together every day, receiving various messages from all directions of Qiye Shenzong.

Analyze the next strategic plan and goals from these messages.

"What is Lin Bai, the emperor, doing?"

On this day, at the new day of the Phoenix Valley senior meeting, the leader of Phoenix Valley suddenly asked about Lin Bai's actions.

Two or three days have passed since Lin Bai lived in Phoenix Valley. During this time, Phoenix Valley has been paying close attention to Lin Bai's movements.

Someone immediately replied: "He didn't do anything. He took his old servant and the maid to travel around Phoenix Valley all day long, and he seemed to be having a lot of fun."

The leader of Phoenix Valley frowned when he heard this. How could this be completely different from what he imagined?

Shouldn't Lin Bai come to Phoenix Valley to represent the target?

Why did he travel around after he came?

Now that the situation in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect is so complicated and time is extremely tight, Lin Bai simply cannot have time to travel around.

"What is he thinking about?"

The leader of Phoenix Valley frowned, thinking hard for a long time but still couldn't figure out what Lin Bai wanted to do.

Suddenly at this time.

A beam of fire suddenly shot out from the clouds outside the meeting hall, fell into the hands of an elder of Phoenix Valley, and turned into a sound transmission note.

After hearing the contents of the sound transmission note, the elder's face changed drastically and he immediately stood up from his chair:

"Master, the Nine Nether Demon Palace is coming towards us."

"What?"

The Master of Phoenix Valley was thinking about Lin Bai's intentions. When he heard this, he looked at the elder with confusion.

The elder immediately replied:

"Just now, news came from the border fortress city 'Tianlong City' on the territory of the Phoenix Valley capital that a large number of strong men suddenly appeared on the border and were heading towards Phoenix Valley at an extremely fast speed."

The Phoenix Valley Sect Master looked shocked and stunned:

"How many troops? How many strong men?"

The elder thought for a while and replied:

"It's not clear."

"They hid their whereabouts all the way and didn't reveal any traces until they entered the border, and then our Phoenix Valley masters discovered some clues."

"According to the news passed back, there are more than five warriors at the Supreme Dao Fruit level in this army, and more than ten warriors at the Chaos Dao Fruit level!"

As soon as these words came out, a thousand waves were immediately stirred up.

In the Phoenix Valley meeting hall, many elders were shocked. The originally silent and majestic meeting hall immediately became noisy like a vegetable market:

"What!"

"There are more than five Supreme Dao Fruits, and more than ten Chaos Dao Fruits!"

"Why do so many high-level warriors suddenly come to the Phoenix Valley territory?"

"What kind of force is this?"

"Needless to say? These must be the men and horses of the Nine Nether Demon Palace. Who else can come up with so many masters besides them!"

"But aren't the frontal troops of the Nine Nether Demon Palace dealing with the Chunyang Sect? Why did they suddenly appear in our Phoenix Valley?"

The leader of the Phoenix Valley sat on the main seat, with a pair of sharp eyes on his gloomy face, scanning the entire audience, and couldn't help but shouted coldly:

"Okay, everyone, be quiet!"

A cold shout made these Phoenix Valley elders slowly calm down, and they all looked back at the main seat.

An elder immediately stood up and said:

"Sir, Sect Leader, there are more than five Supreme Dao Fruits, more than ten Chaos Dao Fruits...and numerous armies composed of Hunyuan, Daluo, and Taiyi Dao Fruits, which cannot be underestimated."

"This is obviously the method of Jiuyou Demon Palace!"

"They must also be people from the Nine Nether Demon Palace!"

The master of the Phoenix Valley had a gloomy face, nodded slightly and said:

"Now I understand why Lin Bai still wanted to travel around after coming to Phoenix Valley."

"They're just waiting for this army to arrive."

"Nine Nether Demon Palace is going to attack us."

An elder jumped up excitedly and shouted in panic:

"Could it be that the Nine Nether Demon Palace is pretending to attack Chunyang Sect, and their real target is our Phoenix Valley?"

"If that's the case, then our Phoenix Valley will be in danger."

"We received the Chunyang Sect's request for help before and sent a large number of high-level warriors to leave the mountain gate."

"In the current Phoenix Valley, it is absolutely impossible to resist the attack of the Nine Nether Demon Palace unless we invite our ancestors!"

Another elder growled through gritted teeth:

"The feigned attack on Chunyang Sect, the real target is our Phoenix Valley, Jiuyou Demon Palace is such a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain!"

"What to do now?"

After another elder thought for a while, he spoke gloomily and put forward a new view:

"Could this be a conspiracy of the Nine Nether Demon Palace?"

As soon as this statement came out, it was immediately opposed by many elders:

"So what if it's a tactic based on suspicion? The key is, can we afford the gamble?"

"If there are more than five Supreme Dao Fruit warriors and more than ten Chaos Dao Fruit warriors, once they launch an offensive, even if they cannot destroy our Phoenix Valley in a short time, they will definitely cause heavy losses to our Phoenix Valley."

"Besides, this is just the cultivation of their warriors. We don't know yet whether they still carry powerful magic weapons."

"If there is a high-level magic weapon in the hands of a warrior in the supreme Daoguo realm, the destructive power will definitely be frightening."

The elder who had just proposed a delaying strategy pursed his lips and said no more, because he also knew...Whether it was a delaying strategy or not, Phoenix Valley did not dare to gamble.

This is not because Phoenix Valley does not have the strength to compete with this army, but once a war begins, a large number of masters will inevitably die.

The death of a large number of masters means that Phoenix Valley will gradually lose the chips in its hands.

"Sect Master, come up with an idea."

"War? Or peace?"

Many elders looked at the Phoenix Valley Sect Master, waiting for him to make a decision.

The leader of Phoenix Valley also felt a splitting headache. He sat on the main seat and held his head, rubbing his brow in pain:

"Don't be anxious, everyone."

"Go and invite Emperor Lin Bai to come over. I have something to discuss with him!"
