Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

When Lin Bai heard the name "Yi Jinse", his mind instinctively recalled the beautiful woman with a very hot temper when he came to Baima City last time.

She seemed to be a sword cultivator.

At that time, she was clamoring to compete with Lin Bai, and finally drew her sword against him.

Fortunately, Lin Bai had no intention of wasting more time in Baima City at that time, so he did not argue with her.

Now the ancestor of the Qiye Divine Sect actually wants to marry her to Lin Bai as a marriage alliance?

"Just now, the Seven Nights Divine Sect ancestor obviously intended for me to choose one myself."

"But Yu You Daozi suddenly added, 'It's best to be clean', so the hunchbacked old man focused his attention on Yi Jinse."

"Does this mean... that some of Yi Gu's other sisters may not have married yet, but have already found someone in their hearts?"

"Only Yi Jinse, a tiger girl and sword geek, is not wanted by anyone?"

After Lin Bai complained in his heart for a few words, he heard the voice of the hunchbacked old man:

"Emperor Lin Bai, what do you think?"

Lin Bai frowned slightly. He was very resistant to the marriage contract, not to mention this kind of "political marriage", which he was even more annoyed with.

He instinctively wanted to refuse, but then he thought that the Seven Nights Divine Sect could only feel a little relieved in this way, and he was also hesitant about whether to agree.

After all, as the hunchbacked old man said, it is difficult to maintain a long-term relationship with just a few verbal agreements.

One more "marriage" means one more guarantee.

Even if Lin Bai becomes the ruler of the Nine Nether Demon Palace in the future, and his attitude towards the Seven Nights Sect suddenly changes, he will still consider the marriage relationship with Yi Jinse and give the Seven Nights Sect a break.

After a little thought, Lin Bai pondered and nodded:

"If this can make the Seven Nights Sect feel at ease, then I have no objection."

The hunchbacked old man nodded and said, "Okay, then it's settled."

"Please prepare for the wedding tomorrow, Emperor Lin Bai."

"The Seven Nights Sect is now in decline and can't invite many guests. The current situation in the demon world is unstable, so keep things simple!"

What! ... Lin Bai was stunned and jumped up in fright: "Get married tomorrow?"

"This..."

According to Lin Bai's idea, he should agree to the Seven Nights Sect's proposal first, and then find an opportunity to cancel the engagement later.

But he didn't expect the hunchbacked old man to be so eager. He agreed today and wanted to get married tomorrow?

The hunchbacked old man smiled and said, "This is not only for our Seven Nights Sect, but also for your Nine Nether Demon Palace."

"Once the news of the marriage between the Demon Palace's son and the Seven Nights Sect's third lady spreads, the entire Seven Nights Sect's territory will know our attitude, and we don't need to publicize anything anymore."

This is the truth... Lin Bai nodded silently.

Once the news of Lin Bai and Yi Jinse's marriage spreads, all forces in the Seven Nights Sect's territory will understand that the Seven Nights Sect has officially surrendered to the Nine Nether Demon Palace and become its vassal.

This is also one of Lin Bai's main goals in coming to Baima City.

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "If we just want to spread the news, we won't get married so soon."

"Once the news is spread, the Nine Nether Demon Palace will naturally take responsibility."

The hunchbacked old man said, "Emperor Lin Bai, don't be nervous. Even if we get married tomorrow, it will only be a formality, and there won't be many guests."

Lin Bai shook his head again and said, "I don't have that much time to stay in Baima City."

"The South Region is invading the territory of the Qitian Sect, and I don't know how long the Qitian Sect can resist."

"The Qitian Sect has asked for help from Wansheng Mountain, the State of Chu, and the Nine Nether Demon Palace, but the Nine Nether Demon Palace is still busy "I am busy with the affairs of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, and I have no time to be distracted."

"After I deal with the affairs of Baima City, I will go to Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect without stopping."

Speaking of this, Lin Bai paused and said: "I can agree to the marriage request of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, but the marriage will definitely not be now."

"To put it bluntly, I don't know what the Seven Nights Divine Sect is planning, and I don't know if the Seven Nights Divine Sect has other requests!"

"We all need time to trust each other more, don't we?"

The hunchbacked old man narrowed his eyes, slowly analyzed what Lin Bai said in his heart, and nodded.

"What the emperor Lin Bai said is also reasonable."

"Well."

"There is no need to make a big fuss for the marriage."

"Since the emperor Lin Bai has to run around for the affairs of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, I dare not keep you any longer."

"I think it's just like this, forget about the marriage, and have the bridal chamber tonight!"

Ah! It's getting more and more outrageous! ... Lin Bai couldn't help but widen his eyes. Why did it sound like the old man had to send Yi Jinse to Lin Bai?

And he was very anxious.

But this also revealed that the Qiye Divine Sect was really at the end of its rope and continued to need better support.

Lin Bai smiled bitterly: "We are talking so excitedly here, why don't you ask Miss Yi Jinse's opinion?"

The hunchbacked old man pursed his lips and did not reply for the time being. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Then please ask Emperor Lin Bai to rest in Baima City for one night. No matter what, we will give Emperor Lin Bai an answer as soon as possible."

Lin Bai spread his hands helplessly: "Okay."

Under Yi Gu's arrangement, Lin Bai, Wen Lao, Daozi Yuyou and the three of them moved into the city lord's mansion.

...

In a separate courtyard.

Daozi Yuyou and Wen Lao stood side by side beside Lin Bai, and Lin Bai glanced at Wen Lao with some anger.

Mr. Wen had a wry smile on his face and lowered his head without daring to reply.

Lin Bai clicked his tongue and said impatiently: "Mr. Wen, you proposed to agree to this matter, will you solve it?"

Mr. Wen smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, this may be the most promising way to quickly stabilize the Seven Nights Sect."

"Besides... the emperor should also know that for top sects, super aristocratic families, or dynasties, marriage is something that every saint, prince, and emperor cannot escape."

"For example, when the emperor was still the Wolf Marquis of Chu State, didn't Emperor Chu also arrange a marriage for you?"

"Let you marry Princess Shenxian."

Mr. Wen said: "It's just that when the Chu State asked the emperor's son to marry, it was to win over the emperor's son; but now that the Seven Nights Sect wants to marry the emperor's son, it is to rely on the Demon Palace to obtain protection."

Lin Bai took two deep breaths, his mood gradually stabilized, and his tone gradually turned calm:

"I thought that only mortal dynasties would like marriage, but I didn't expect that the world of martial arts is the same."

Mr. Wen said calmly: "The martial arts world is also made up of people. In fact, there is not much difference between the martial arts world and the mortal world in some underlying rules."

Lin Bai asked helplessly: "What should we do now?"

Mr. Wen said with a smile: "Since I have agreed, let's take it one step at a time!"

"Besides, although Yi Jinse of the Seven Nights Divine Sect has a bad temper, she is indeed a rare beauty."

"Although the Seven Nights Divine Sect is currently in decline, after all, it was once a prosperous sect and had experienced glory."

"Yi Jinse is worthy of being the son of God."

Lin Bai said angrily: "I already have a family, there is no way I can get a wife in the devil world."

Mr. Wen nodded and said: "I understand the emperor's thoughts, so for some things... we just need to play it by chance."

"In other words... the Seven Nights Divine Sect insists on marrying Yi Jinse to the emperor's son because it wants to spread the news and let the outside world know the attitude of the Seven Nights Divine Sect!"

"To put it simply...this marriage is not for the emperor and Miss Yi Jinse, but for others to see."

"Since it's just a joke, it's very simple. The emperor is so smart, so I don't need to explain it carefully, right?"

After hearing Mr. Wen's analysis, Lin Bai felt a sudden realization and smiled and patted his head:

"Mr. Wen is saying... Even if we have a wedding tonight, we don't need to do anything. We just need to stay in the room all night?"

"Anyway, this is just a joke. We just need to let the outside world know... that we have consummated the marriage."

Mr. Wen nodded with a smile, and immediately said: "Of course, if the emperor falls in love with Miss Yi Jinse, it would not be a bad idea to marry her back to the Demon Palace."

"Come to think of it, the Demon Palace will not interfere with the emperor's thoughts!"

"Then forget it!" Lin Bai shook his head repeatedly.

…

Baima City, the city lord's mansion, in the meeting hall.

Yi Gu and Yi Jinyi, accompanied by the rickety old man, called over all the current senior leaders and core warriors of the Seven Nights Sect.

Among them were Yi Gu's other six sisters, as well as the fire warriors currently preserved by the Seven Nights Divine Sect, that is, those talented warriors.

Seeing that all the warriors from the Seven Nights Divine Sect had arrived, the rickety old man pretended to cough twice:

"I called everyone here today because Lin Bai, the emperor of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, suddenly visited Baima City today."

After hearing the news that Lin Bai, the emperor of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, had arrived in Baima City, everyone present was stunned.

"What? Lin Bai came to Baima City?"

"How come you didn't hear the news at all?"

"What is he here for? Is the Nine Nether Demon Palace going to kill us all?"

Many younger warriors present suddenly felt uneasy, including many high-level warriors whose faces were covered with a layer of gloom.

Yi Jinse, who had a hot temper, immediately stood up from his chair, with a cold look on his face and murderous intent:

"This thief still dares to come to Baima City!"

"Where is he now? I'm going to kill him with one sword!"

As he spoke, Yi Jinse took out the sword from his storage bag and looked like he was going to fight Lin Bai.

The rickety old man glanced sideways at Yi Jinse, raised his hand slightly to signal Yi Jinse not to be impulsive, and then said slowly:

"Emperor Lin Bai returned to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect this time just to deal with the civil strife in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."

"He brought some proposals to the Seven Nights Divine Sect."

"Nine Nether Demon Palace is willing to divide fifteen thousand states so that our Seven Nights Sect can live in peace and contentment."

"And what we, the Seven Nights Divine Sect, have to do is surrender to the Nine Nether Demon Palace, and no longer be enemies of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, but become its vassals!"

"The territory assigned to us by the Nine Nether Demon Palace is the fifteen thousand states surrounding the former capital of the Seven Nights Sect."

"I discussed it with Sect Master Yi Gu and thought this was a good condition for cooperation, so I agreed."

Hearing that Lin Bai came this time to deal with the civil strife in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, and was also willing to give the Seven Nights Divine Sect a place to rest and live, made many high-level warriors and talented warriors present smile.

Especially those high-level warriors, they know better than the talented warriors how difficult the situation the Seven Nights Sect is currently facing.

Although on the surface it seems that the Seven Nights Divine Sect still retains a lot of high-level warriors, in fact there is a big gap when it comes to the top sects in the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory.

Especially, the Pure Yang Sect, Phoenix Valley, Qinglian Sect, Fantian Sect, Baitian Sect and other sects are eyeing the Seven Nights Sect.

They have not yet shown obvious malice, because the territory of the Seven Nights Sect has not yet stabilized.

Once the territory of the Seven Nights Sect stabilizes, these sects will never tolerate the Seven Nights Sect to survive.

They will definitely pounce on the Seven Nights Sect like wolves and tigers, uproot the Seven Nights Sect, and take all the treasures for themselves.

So now the hunchbacked old man and Yi Gu, before the value of the Seven Nights Sect is exhausted, it is the best thing to reach a cooperation with the Nine Nether Demon Palace in advance.

Once this opportunity is missed, when the Seven Nights Sect has fewer and fewer chips in its hands, the conditions for cooperation will naturally become lower and lower.

"Give us fifteen thousand states?"

"And the fifteen thousand states around our mountain gate area?"

"Although this is not as good as when our sect was at its peak, it is much better than the current state of relying on others."

"It seems that Emperor Lin Bai really came with sincerity."

Many high-level warriors grumbled in their hearts, and even many Tianjiao warriors thought that this condition was good.

After all, the current Qiye Divine Sect can no longer be described as a prosperous sect.

After hearing the words of the hunchbacked old man, Yi Jinse's expression eased a little, but her heart was still full of hatred for the Jiuyou Demon Palace and Lin Bai.

In her opinion, the Jiuyou Demon Palace was the culprit for the Seven Nights Divine Sect's suffering from such a disaster and falling into such a state.

After the hunchbacked old man finished speaking, he looked around the audience and heard no objections, which made him feel a little relieved.

It seemed that everyone was more in favor of and able to accept the current negotiation deal.

The hunchbacked old man said in a deep voice: "But this is just a verbal agreement between us, the Nine Nether Demon Palace and Emperor Lin Bai."

"The Nine Nether Demon Palace may go back on its word at any time."

As soon as this was said, it was also recognized by many warriors:

"It's just a few empty words. What if the Nine Nether Demon Palace goes back on its word?"

"How about asking the Nine Nether Demon Palace to make a covenant and swear an oath?"

"This is not appropriate. We are not qualified to ask the Nine Nether Demon Palace to do this!"

At present, the warriors of the Seven Nights Divine Sect are considering how to prevent the Nine Nether Demon Palace from going back on its word and give the Seven Nights Divine Sect time and opportunity for stability and development.

The hunchbacked old man said in a deep voice: "So for this... I have discussed with the Yi Gu Sect and decided to use the relationship of marriage to consolidate the relationship between us and the Nine Nether Demon Palace!"

Many warriors also agreed with this.

After all, for high-level sects and families, marriage has always been a good choice, which can deepen the contact and relationship between the two sects and families.

The hunchbacked old man took a deep breath, slowly looked at Yi Gu's seven sisters, and finally set his eyes on Yi Jinse:

"Jinse, we have decided to marry you to Emperor Lin Bai!"

What! ...Yi Jinse, who was still holding the sword and had just threatened to chop Lin Bai, immediately widened her eyes when she heard this!
