After walking out of Prince Hong's Mansion, Lin Bai returned to the Tianshui Sect Palace.
The ancestor Zhang Bailiu was still at the door greeting the distinguished guests who were coming and going. He was so busy that he even called Pan Qing out.
Nowadays, the warriors coming and going from Tianshui Sect's palace are envoys from major families and sects inside and outside the imperial capital, coming to congratulate Lin Bai and Princess Shenxian on their wedding in advance.
Their family and sect can only be regarded as small and medium-sized families in the imperial capital. If they wait until Lin Bai's wedding to congratulate him, I'm afraid it won't be their turn.
That's why they arrived early.
When they saw Lin Bai walking in from outside the door, the guests who were about to leave gathered around to congratulate him.
Lin Bai also smiled and said a few perfunctory words, then hurried towards the back house.
Not long after.
Ancestors Pan Qing and Zhang Bailiu also left the guests behind and came to find Lin Bai.
"Holy Son, what on earth is going on?"
Lin Bai glanced at his ancestors Zhang Bailiu and Pan Qing, and decided to tell them the news.
"The saint son and ancestor of the top sect who left the imperial capital were captured by a group of mysterious people."
"But the Chu royal family is still investigating who is behind this, and we don't yet know what their motives are."
"In order to block the news of this matter, the royal family had to come up with another way to attract the attention of the Eastern Territory warriors, and at the same time give an explanation to the top sects and families in the Eastern Territory!"
"Lest the families and sects who leave the imperial capital and return to their sects delay returning and make them suspicious."
"That's probably what happened."
Lin Bai told the two people what happened simply and clearly.
After all, he is now the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect, even though it is all a transaction with Tianshui Sect.
But as the Holy Son, he still didn't want to see Tianshui Sect involved in the turmoil without knowing it.
"What!"
"this……"
Ancestors Zhang Bailiu and Pan Qing were stunned and exclaimed: "Who on earth has the courage to attack the top sects in the Eastern Region? How many top sects are in trouble?"
Lin Bai replied: "All of them, except for Qitian Sect and Wansheng Mountain who have returned to the imperial capital, almost all the forces in the Eastern Region who have left the imperial capital are in trouble!"
Ancestor Pan Qing turned pale with fright, "Who is it?"
Ancestor Zhang Bailiu said gloomily: "Who else can it be? It must be the Northern Territory."
"Not necessarily." Lin Bai rejected Zhang Bailiu's answer and said at the same time: "Although the Northern Territory wants to do this, they don't dare because their every move in the imperial capital is closely watched by the Zhaoxing Division."
"They have a thief heart but no thief courage!"
"Of course, this matter must be inextricably linked to the Northern Territory. They may not be the ones who took action, but they must be the ones behind it!"
Ancestor Zhang Bailiu frowned and said, "If it's not the Northern Territory, then who else in the Eastern Territory would dare to do such lawless things?"
Lin Bai laughed miserably: "Isn't there another Jiuyou Demon Palace who dreams of making a comeback?"
Hiss... Ancestors Zhang Bailiu and Pan Qing took a breath when they heard this. They both knew that if the Northern Territory and the Nine Nether Demon Palace colluded, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the situation in the Eastern Territory.
"No wonder!"
"No wonder even the royal family dare not announce this easily!"
The ancestor Zhang Bailiu finally understood why the royal family wanted to block the news. Once this matter spread, the entire Eastern Region would be in chaos.
Especially Chu State.
These missing saints and ancestors from the top sects all went to Chu State to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Chu.
But now, before they even left the area of the imperial capital, they were attacked by gangsters, and the Holy Son and the Ancestor all mysteriously disappeared.
The State of Chu cannot absolve itself of the blame for this.
If the other sect families that lost their holy sons and ancestors heard the news, they would definitely come to the Imperial Capital of Chu State to investigate the crime immediately.
The state of Chu does not look down upon two families.
But if all the top sects in the Eastern Region gather together, even the Chu State, which is the most prosperous sect, may not be able to resist.
"Then what are the plans of the Chu royal family now?"
Ancestor Zhang Bailiu asked Lin Bai eagerly.
"Still investigating."
Lin Bai shook his head and said nothing more.
Ancestor Pan Qing asked: "Does the royal family really intend to let you marry Princess Shenxian?"
"It may not be true." Lin Bai shook his head and said, "Because what the royal family announced to the outside world was just to invite families and sects who left the imperial capital of Chu to come back to attend my wedding."
"But the royal family didn't say clearly... when the wedding will be."
"Maybe tomorrow, maybe a year from now, maybe... ten thousand years from now?"
The ancestors Zhang Bailiu and Pan Qing both understood that this was just a delaying tactic by the Chu royal family.
He just wanted to use the wedding banquet of Lin Bai and Miss Shen Xian to temporarily attract attention and give the royal family enough time to investigate and find traces of the top sect saints and ancestors.
Lin Bai said to Zhang Bailiu: "Don't spread this matter easily. It's best not to disclose it to anyone."
"I informed the sect of this matter, and I also hope that the sect can prepare early. I am afraid that it will not be long before the territory of Chu State will cause a big change!"
"Now that the sect has made preparations in advance, maybe it can still retain a glimmer of hope."
The ancestors Zhang Bailiu and Pan Qing both understood the seriousness of the matter.
Although the matter has been temporarily suppressed by the royal family blocking the news, if the matter is not over, it will continue to get worse.
Sooner or later, this news will spread, and when the top sects in the entire Eastern Region come to hold him accountable, it might lead to a war between the realms!
Lin Bai looked out the door and said: "The guests who come to congratulate me on my wedding in advance should continue to greet them and don't let others see the clues!"
"I understand." Ancestor Zhang Bailiu agreed immediately.
"In addition, I need at least three hundred thousand immortal jade!" Lin Bai said to his ancestor Zhang Bailiu: "Can the sect give it to me?"
Three hundred thousand immortal jade... Ancestor Zhang Bailiu was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashing with a faint light; "Since it is the Holy Son who wants three hundred thousand immortal jade, there is no way that the sect will not give it!"
"But I need to send someone back to Tianshui Sect to pick it up. It will take at least half a month to deliver it to the Imperial Capital!"
Lin Bai nodded and agreed.
After arranging things for Tianshui Sect, Lin Bai returned to the house to rest for a while, then got up and headed to Tianji Pavilion.
The flying sword entrusted to Tianji Pavilion for refining had already been refined, but Lin Bai had no time to be distracted during this period and had not picked it up yet.
I came to Tianji Pavilion again and met Mr. Kirigawa in the Gourd World. He handed over four refined flying swords to Lin Bai!
"Haha, these four flying swords can be said to be my masterpiece so far. Don't let their pearls fall into dust!"
Kirikawa Weng had a smile on his face, and it could be seen that he was quite satisfied with the four flying swords he had refined.
