His Highness King Chen heard that Lin Bai had not seen the Holy Son from the other three realms for the time being, and expressed that he could understand.
After all, the royal family’s sudden announcement of the grand banquet on the Star Reaching Platform was something that no one expected.
Not only were the top sects from the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm not expecting it, but even the forces within the Chu Kingdom were not expecting it.
Lin Bai proposed that he would find an opportunity to meet with the saints of the sects from the other three realms later. His Highness King Chen also nodded in agreement and asked Lin Bai to go and rest first.
Arriving at Tianshui Sect's seat, Lin Bai sat down cross-legged and looked around.
Above the head is a night, with thousands of stars in it, like gems dotted in the night.
Some stars were very close to Lin Bai, as if he could pick them off just by raising his hand.
Perhaps this is the origin of the Star Reaching Platform.
Under Lin Bai's feet was a completely transparent platform. When he lowered his head and looked down, he could see the swaying clouds and mist below, as well as the sky thousands of feet high.
The wind on the star-catching platform is either big or small.
There is a biting cold feeling.
It was as if no matter how much wine he drank, he couldn't dispel the chill.
And this chill can keep the warrior awake at all times.
It seems that Lin Bai likes to drink dragon blood wine. After he sat on the seat of Tianshui Sect, the drink brought by the envoy was dragon blood wine.
Although the output of dragon blood wine is not large in the imperial capital, the royal family is not an ordinary buyer after all. As long as the royal family needs it, dragon blood wine is still in short supply.
On the star-catching stage.
The sect that arrived the fastest was undoubtedly the disciples of the seven sects of the five families of Chu.
Before the Tianshui Sect arrived, the Sun family, one of the five major families in the imperial capital, had already arrived.
The relationship between the Sun family and the Tianshui Sect cannot be considered very good, it can only be regarded as not having much hatred.
After seeing Tianshui Sect arriving, perhaps thinking of Tianshui Sect's importance in front of His Highness King Chen over the years, several ancestors of the Sun family also came over and greeted Tianshui Sect with smiles.
Ancestors Zhang Bailiu and Pan Qing smiled and talked to them, which seemed to be a friendly appearance.
Waited for quite some time.
The head of the Chen family led several ancestors and disciples of the Chen family onto the star-catching platform.
Lin Bai saw Chen Yule at a glance.
After the young eunuchs waiting on the star-catching stage arranged for the head of the Chen family and the ancestors of the Chen family to sit down, Chen Yule's eyes were always on Lin Bai.
Lin Bai also saw them.
The head of the Chen family is wearing a purple robe and a jade crown. Although he is middle-aged, he has an indescribable aura of domineering about him.
He communicated with Chen Yule in a low voice for a while, and then Chen Yule stood up and left the seat, walking towards Lin Bai.
"Brother Lin, please take a step to speak."
Chen Yule walked over with a smile and greeted Lin Bai.
Lin Bai nodded slightly, and he and Chen Yule left their seats at the same time and walked to the edge of the star-catching platform.
The star-catching platform is not small, and there are many remote places.
Moreover, there are stars and rivers overhead, and the night breeze is cool, making it a picturesque place.
Lin Bai and Chen Yule stood on the edge of the star-catching platform. The night wind blew their hair and clothes, as if they were both immortals descended from heaven.
"Brother Lin, time is pressing, so I won't waste any more nonsense."
"The royal family suddenly wants to hold a grand banquet at the Star Reaching Platform. This must be something extraordinary, right?"
Chen Yule came to Lin Bai and asked directly without talking too much.
"What exactly does royalty mean?"
Chen Yule was obviously assigned by the head of the Chen family to inquire about the news.
Lin Bai did not answer in a hurry, but asked: "What news did the Chen family get?"
The Chen family, as one of the five major families in the imperial capital, has their eyes and ears all over the imperial capital.
If they said they had no news at all, Lin Bai would never believe it.
The Chen family must have their own channels for obtaining information, and Chen Yule came to inquire at this moment just because he wanted to corroborate his suspicions.
Chen Yule replied: "As far as the Chen family knows... the banquet star-catching platform, it should be that the royal family wants to start a war with the Northern Territory?"
"Yes." Lin Bai answered Chen Yule without hesitation, and said: "In the past few months, every move of the royal family has been to solidify the posture of the Northern Territory, obviously preparing for the war."
"This time, the royal family should not back down easily."
After finishing speaking, Lin Bai added: "Of course, this is just our speculation. We can only know what the royal family thinks after this banquet on the Star Reaching Platform!"
When Chen Yule heard this, he puffed up his cheeks and inhaled repeatedly.
Lin Bai asked: "What is the attitude of the Chen family?"
"What kind of attitude can the Chen family have?" Chen Yule smiled bitterly, "Can the Tianshui Sect have an attitude? If the royal family wants to fight, and the Tianshui Sect doesn't want to fight, shouldn't they stop fighting?"
Lin Bai was silent when he heard this.
Chen Yule sighed helplessly: "Both the Tianshui Sect and the Chen family are sects that have been loyal to the Chu royal family. As long as the Chu royal family needs it, we will go to the battlefield without hesitation."
While Lin Bai and Chen Yule were chatting, other forces came to the star-catching stage.
But this time, it was a warrior from the Li family.
The head of the Li family walked at the front. This person was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face.
He first saw Lin Bai and Chen Yule standing side by side, with a little surprise on their expressions, and then nodded with a smile.
Lin Bai and Chen Yule also smiled and nodded in return.
After all, the other party is the head of the Li family, one of the five and seven sects of Chu State.
The respect and awe that should be there still need to be shown.
Lin Bai and Chen Yule both noticed the young man following the head of the Li family.
This is not Li Mo, but another person.
This man has a tall and straight figure and a resolute face. He walks behind the head of the Li family and has an indescribable aura of domineering.
As if he is the protagonist of this world?
"That's Li Xian."
"It is said that this person will succeed Li Mo as the Holy Son!"
Chen Yule whispered to Lin Bai.
It turned out that he was Li Xian... Lin Bai suddenly realized that today at the Yamen of His Highness King Chen, the third prince specifically mentioned Li Xian of the Li family. It was said that this person was a genius who was secretly cultivated by the Li family.
But because Li Mo really brought shame to the Li family, he had to abolish Li Mo and promote Li Xian to the top.
as expected.
Li Mo did not attend this important banquet on the star-catching stage, but Li Xian came instead.
Obviously the Li family has already thought of abolishing Li Mo.
"But...it seems that there is not much difference between the Holy Son Li Xian and Li Mo." Chen Yule still maintained a disdainful attitude towards Li Xian, and sarcastically said: "He is headstrong, only interested in profit, and arrogant...Sooner or later he will fail. Li Mo’s footsteps.”
Lin Bai smiled and did not express much opinion.
Instead, it’s this moment.
Not long after Li Xian sat down with the head of the Li family, he left his seat on his own initiative and walked towards Lin Bai and Chen Yule.
With a spring breeze-like smile on his face, he walked up to Lin Bai and Chen Yule, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "My quasi-sage Li Xian of the Li family has met Brother Chen and Brother Lin, no... I should say he has met Marquis Lang. Lord."
