Yi Jinyi wanted fifty Qianzhou, but Lin Bai was only willing to give twenty-five, which was already the limit that Lin Bai could give.

She was obviously a little dissatisfied and looked at Yi Gu and the rickety old man one after another.

Yi Gu pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer.

The rickety old man didn't hear Yi Gu's answer for a long time, so he sighed again:

"Yi Gu, you are now the sect leader of the Seven Nights Divine Sect. There are some things that you need to make your own decisions on."

"Although your eldest sister is smart, she is still a woman, and she worries about the gains and losses when dealing with certain things."

"Maybe it's because you two have seen too little and have too little experience. You still don't understand the mystery of the word 'willingness'."

"It's a pity that we can't give you that much time to increase your knowledge and experience."

The rickety old man seemed very disappointed that Yi Gu didn't speak. He sighed twice more:

"Emperor Lin Bai, it's as you said."

"Twenty-five thousand states, just twenty-five thousand states."

"but……"

He just agreed, which made Lin Bai feel happy, but then his conversation suddenly changed:

"The territory of these twenty-five thousand states must be selected by us personally, and cannot be randomly assigned by the Nine Nether Demon Palace and other forces."

"Otherwise, what is the use of assigning certain remote areas to us?"

Old fox, is this what you call "willingness"? It is indeed a bit mysterious... Lin Bai sighed softly in his heart.

Can twenty-five territories with abundant resources be compared with fifty territories with poor resources?

Anyone who is not a fool will choose the twenty-five territories with abundant resources.

Since the conversation partner changed from Yi Jinyi to a rickety old man, Lin Bai simply said to him:

"The junior wants to know which territories the senior will choose?"

The rickety old man basically didn't think much and replied:

"I don't want to make things difficult for Emperor Lin Bai. Just focus on the territory of the capital of the Seven Nights Sect and expand to the surrounding areas, dividing it into twenty-five territories."

In other words, the Qiye Shenzong wanted to return to its hometown of Shanmen... Lin Bai made some calculations in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wen immediately sent a message to Lin Bai and said: "Your Majesty, the area surrounding the capital of the Seven Nights Sect is one of the most fertile territories in the entire Seven Nights Sect."

"Moreover, this place is also very close to Huanglong Qianzhou, the gate of our Jiuyou Demon Palace."

Lin Bai immediately sent a message and asked: "Does this conflict with the future development and strategic planning of our Jiuyou Demon Palace?"

Mr. Wen folded his hands, frowned and thought for a while, then replied: "It's not too conflicting."

"But many people are eyeing that territory. Both Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley hope to get that territory."

As an old servant of the Demon Palace Master, Mr. Wen is deeply trusted by the Demon Palace Master and has participated in the formulation of many plans and strategic goals of the Demon Palace.

This is also the main reason why the master of the Demon Palace sent him to Lin Bai.

Before Lin Bai could finish thinking, the rickety old man sighed:

"It's hard to leave our homeland. If Emperor Lin Bai is willing to agree to our Seven Nights Divine Sect's request, our Seven Nights Divine Sect is willing to surrender to the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

Lin Bai still didn't answer. Suddenly, what the rickety old man had just taught Yi Gu came to his mind.

The word "willingness" began to appear in his mind.

Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and chuckled: "Originally, according to the idea of ​​the Nine Nether Demon Palace, the Seven Nights Divine Sect was asked to go to other territories to build the mountain gate."

"But since the Seven Nights Divine Sect wants to return to its homeland, it is not impossible."

"But seniors should also know very well...the territories surrounding the capital of the Seven Nights Sect are all extremely rich areas belonging to the Seven Nights Sect."

"Not only the Jiuyou Demon Palace is staring at that territory, but also the Chunyang Sect, Phoenix Valley, Fantian Sect, and Tianbai Sect."

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to carve out twenty-five thousand states from that territory."

Lin Bai said to the rickety old man: "If the Seven Nights Divine Sect is willing to rebuild the mountain gate in other territories, the Nine Nether Demon Palace is willing to give twenty-five thousand states."

"And Jiuyou Demon Palace guarantees that the twenty-five thousand states given are definitely not barren lands."

"But if the Qiye Shenzong territory wants to rebuild the mountain gate within the capital territory, then we have no way to give twenty-five thousand states."

"I hope seniors can understand us."

"Senior should also know very well how precious the territory surrounding the capital of the Seven Nights Sect is, right?"

If that territory was not valuable, how could the Seven Nights Sect choose to build the mountain gate there?

The rickety old man was speechless for a moment, as if he was thinking. After a moment he answered:

"If we choose the territory of the capital of the Seven Nights Sect, how much will the Nine Nether Demon Palace be willing to give?"

Lin Bai thought for a moment and then replied: "Ten thousand states!"

The rickety old man was furious when he heard this: "It's too much to bully someone!"

Seeing that this powerful man who was only a hair away from the master of supernatural powers was about to get angry, Mr. Wen hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Bai, staring coldly at the rickety old man.

The rickety old man gradually calmed down: "Fifteen thousand states, we want the fifteen thousand states surrounding the capital of the Seven Nights Sect."

"This is the final price of the Seven Nights Divine Sect. If the Nine Nether Demon Palace is willing to agree, then we can cooperate."

Lin Bai looked embarrassed, thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then fifteen Qianzhou."

"Mr. Wen, get the map."

Immediately.

Mr. Wen took out a detailed map of the Seven Nights Sect's territory from his storage bag.

Although it is a "detailed map", it cannot be said that all the territory of the Qiye Shenzong is cities and villages, and only the approximate territory of Qianzhou.

"Senior, please designate the area."

Lin Bai laid out the map of the Seven Nights Sect on the stone table, and the rickety old man walked over with a cane.

First, he glanced at the general outline of the territory, coughed twice sadly, and then set his sights on the territory of the capital of the Seven Nights Sect.

"This...this...this..."

He stretched out his dry fingers, centered on the territory of the capital of the Seven Nights Sect, and selected fourteen more thousand states around it, designating it as the current territory of the Seven Nights Sect.

After he finished the designation, Lin Bai cast a questioning look at Mr. Wen.

Mr. Wen nodded silently, indicating that there was no problem.

Lin Bai nodded and said: "Okay, then these fifteen thousand states will belong to the Seven Nights Sect from now on and serve as your current territory."

The rickety old man laughed dryly and said: "Does Emperor Lin Bai keep his word? In other words, can Emperor Lin Bai make the decision?"

"Would you like to go back and discuss it with the higher-ups of your Nine Nether Demon Palace?"

Lin Bai replied: "Of course I will return to the Demon Palace to discuss with the senior officials, but since I have decided on the matter, I will definitely be able to get it done for you."

The rickety old man's old eyes suddenly shone brightly: "Okay, you have courage. You are worthy of being the former King of Qin of the Chu Kingdom and now the Emperor of the Demon Palace!"

"If the Seven Nights Divine Sect had a successor like Little Friend Lin Bai, it is estimated that it would not have fallen to this."

The rickety old man said to Yi Gu: "Yi Gu, you should ask little friend Lin Bai for advice in the future."

Yi Gu nodded silently.

After the rickety old man designated the territory, he said to Lin Bai: "Since the Nine Nether Demon Palace agrees to our conditions, after we move back to the territory of the capital of the Seven Nights Sect, we will declare our surrender to the Nine Nether Demon Palace!"

Lin Bai smiled happily, but before he could get happy, the rickety old man got angry again.

"However, before the Seven Nights Divine Sect surrenders, I have two more requests."

This old fox is really difficult to deal with!... Lin Bai maintained a calm smile:

"Senior, please tell me."

The rickety old man replied: "I hope Emperor Lin Bai will tell the truth to the top management of Jiuyou Demon Palace about something."

"We, the Seven Nights Divine Sect, are willing to surrender to the Nine Nether Demon Palace, but the prerequisite must be... Little friend Lin Bai must become the person in charge of the Nine Nether Demon Palace in the future, that is, the palace master!"

"If there are any changes within the Demon Palace, so that little friend Lin Bai does not become the master of the Demon Palace in the end, then we will not continue to submit to the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

"Of course, if little friend Lin Bai eventually becomes the master of the Demon Palace and becomes the person in charge of the Demon Palace, and his life span will expire many years later and he has to retreat behind the scenes, then the Seven Nights Sect will continue to surrender."

In other words... the prerequisite for the surrender of the Seven Nights Divine Sect is that I must become the master of the Demon Palace?... Lin Bai asked in confusion:

"Why me?"

The rickety old man said to Lin Bai: "The Nine Nether Demon Palace has been hidden underground for too long. We don't know much about the warriors of the Demon Palace."

"We just want to believe you!"

His words suddenly reminded Lin Bai of what Wang Zhengyang once said.

When they were on the border of the Eastern Territory, Wang Zhengyang said to Lin Bai, "Rather than letting a magic palace warrior we are unfamiliar with become the emperor's son, we would rather see Brother Lin become the emperor's son."

"At least we still know something about Brother Lin and know his temperament and character."
