Lin Bai's words made the faces of the heads and elders present covered with ice.

Because they knew very well that all the things Lin Bai said were true and there was no lie.

If Lin Bai lost in the battle between the First Son of God, then the First Son of God will definitely become the Emperor's Son of the Demon Palace and become the future Lord of the Demon Palace.

The first son of god became the lord of the Demon Palace, which means that Shi Renshan and the Shi family "disguisedly" controlled the Jiuyou Demon Palace and monopolized the power.

As we all know, the current high-rise structure of the Jiuyou Demon Palace is entirely composed of nine temples and nine temple families.

It is no exaggeration to say that... the Nine Temples families almost control two-thirds of the resources of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

Moreover, the Nine Temples are constantly cultivating descendants of disciples for the Nine Major Family.

Even if the nine temples are not warriors from their family, the temple family will use the method of "marriage" or "cultivating dead soldiers" to win over these temple genius warriors under their command.

Once the Shi family takes control of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, several other families firmly believe that the Shi family will never coexist with them.

Even if the Shi family would not attack them at the beginning, sooner or later, the Shi family would annex them one by one.

Even if it does not "annex" it, the power of the other eight temples will be emptied by the Shi family.

As Lin Bai said, even if Elder Shirenshan does not attack their family, the other eight major families will definitely not be as leisurely and comfortable as they are today, and control a large amount of resources and extraordinary status in the Demon Palace.

This is the main reason why families in the other eight temples will collectively make changes in a short period of time!

Did they really want to support Lin Bai from the beginning?

Obviously not.

The result was already reached when Lin Bai and Li Guxian discussed this.

Although the other eight major families in the nine temples do not support the First Son of God in their hearts, they support the Shi family.

The heads of the family, including Duanmuxin, Shen Xing, Mo Danqiu, etc., also believed that with the support of the Shi family, the first son of god had more hope to become the emperor's son of the Demon Palace.

The path for the First Son of God to become the Lord of the Demon Palace is at least dozens of times easier than Lin Bai.

Before this, even though Lin Bai appeared in the Jiuyou Demon Palace and received the strong support of Yao Daogu, Zhao Fengxia and others, he became the Emperor's Son of the Demon Palace with the strong announcement of the Palace Master of the Demon Palace.

But Duanmuxin, Shen Xing, Mo Danqiu and other heads still did not express any kindness to Lin Bai.

From the bottom of their hearts, they didn't think Lin Bai had the ability to sit firmly on the throne of the Emperor's Son of the Demon Palace.

During this period, the other eight major families also maintained close contact with the Shi family and discussed subsequent interests.

For example, if the eight major families in the Temple support the First Son of God to become the Emperor's Son, what kind of benefits can the Shi family and the First Son of God bring to their family?

The eight major families raised some interest needs, but the Shi family and the Shirenshan elders were reluctant to agree.

Elder Shirenshan gave the most answer: "The conditions you offered are reasonable, but I cannot make a decision at the moment, so I still need to discuss with other elders of the family."

"You are patient and we will definitely give you a satisfactory reply."

Just as the stone man promised that he had made good faith, the other eight major families of the temple began to wait patiently.

At the beginning, they did firmly believe that Elder Shirenshan would definitely give them a satisfactory answer.

Because in their opinion, as the "Shen Family of the Nine Great Temples of the Nine Nether Demon Palace", the resources and foundation they have are far greater than those of other families in the Demon Palace, Elder Shirenshan would never give up and win over them.

But as time passed day by day, just a while ago, the ancestor of the Duan family, Duan Hui, who was also one of the 36 major families in the Demon Palace, suddenly announced that he had become the leader of Zhenhaiwei; and Xiang Dinghan, the ancestor of another family, one of the 36 major families in the Demon Palace, announced that he had become the leader of Shenshanwei.

After these news came out, the Duanmu family and Shen family in the Second Temple and the Third Temple felt something was wrong.

The reason is also very simple.

The Duan family is one of the 36 major families in the Demon Palace. Although the foundation and strength are not as good as the Temple family, they are almost the same.

More importantly... Duan Family is a family affiliated to the Second Temple, and Duan Family is one of the most favorable competitors of the Duanmu Family in the Second Temple.

Duan Hui, the ancestor of the Duan family, became the leader of Zhenhaiwei, and naturally received the support of Shi Renshan, which immediately made the Duanmu family feel a sense of crisis.

However, Duanmu family waited again and again, but did not get the accurate answer from the Shi family.

After Duan Hui became the leader of Zhenhaiwei, the Duanmu family visited the Shi family again, and the answer received from Shi Renshan was still "Wait a minute, let's think about it..."

At this time, the Duanmu family realized that they were fooled by the Shi family!

The Shi family has supported the Duan family, and it may threaten the Duanmu family's status in the Second Temple at any time, and may even allow the Duan family to replace the Duanmu family.

This is not groundless.

At least as Lin Bai speculated, as long as the first son of god becomes the lord of the Demon Palace, the Shi family will inevitably make the Duan family the controlling family of the Second Temple.

This led to the Duanmu family quickly changing their ideas and defecting to Lin Bai in a short period of time.

And all this must be in the imagination of Elder Shirenshan.

Perhaps the Shi family had reached a cooperation with the Duan family a long time ago, but it was not announced.

But as Lin Bai and Li Guxian recovered Phoenix Valley one after another and defeated Chunyang Sect, they were about to return to the court with the "triumphant force", Elder Shirenshan finally couldn't sit still and announced that Duan Hui and Xiang Dinghan would take over Zhenhaiwei and Shenshanwei.

Shi Renshan must also be very clear. After the news that Duan Hui and Xiang Dinghan took over Zhenhaiwei and Shenshanwei spread, no matter how stupid the Duanmu family and the Shen family were, they would have guessed that they were fooled by the Shi family.

The Shen family in the third temple was almost exactly the same situation as the Duanmu family encountered.

...

Lin Bai saw that the faces of the heads and all the elders present were gloomy, but his heart was filled with laughter.

Lin Bai could tell from their faces, and they also agreed with Lin Bai's words.

"To sum up, the first son of God becomes the emperor's son of the Demon Palace and then becomes the lord of the Demon Palace. This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to you!"

"Can we reach a consensus on this?"

"I... don't want to see the elders continue to remain silent, especially the heads of the family. I need your accurate answer."

Speaking of this, Lin Bai continued:

"I'm still saying the same thing. Only when we reach a consensus can we continue to talk."

Lin Bai asked several heads of the family to give accurate answers. He had to get these answers and could not let them continue to become demons.

Otherwise, if something happens in the future, several heads of the family will be given room to defend themselves.

Duanmu Xin, the owner of the Duanmu family, took the lead in giving an answer:

"I and the Duanmu family both agree with everything that Lin Bai said just now."

"As Lin Bai's son said, if the Shi family supports the First God Son to become the Lord of the Demon Palace, even if our Duanmu family is not annexed by them, they will sooner or later be undermined by them."

"So...this is also the real reason why I will sit in the Imperial Palace Hall today and meet with Emperor Lin Bai!"

Obviously, at the moment just now, Duanmuxin discussed with several other senior elders of the Duanmu family.

After Duanmuxin gathered information from multiple parties, he gave Lin Bai an accurate reply and agreed with Lin Bai's statement.

After receiving Duanmu Xin's answer, Lin Bai then looked at Shen Xing, the Shen family in the Third Temple.

The thin and thin elder Shen Xing, with a strange smile on his face, grinned and replied:

"Although I am not very harmonious with Duanmuxin, I am now agreeing with Duanmuxin's statement."

"After the Shi family supports the First God Son to become the Palace Master of the Demon Palace, it will not be of any benefit to our Shen family, and it will also be of great harm!"

"This is also why our Shen family sat in the Imperial Palace Hall to meet Emperor Lin Bai!"

Elder Shen Xing also gave an accurate answer.

Lin Bai then looked at Elder Mo Danqiu, and only heard her smile and say:

"The Mo family and the Duanmu family and the Shen family have the same experience."

"Besides, Lao Shi has never liked the style of the Shi family."

"Even when the Shi family asked the first son of god to be the emperor's son in the elders' council before, the Mo family was the first family to stand up and oppose it!"

What Mo Danqiu said was before Lin Bai came to the Jiuyou Demon Palace.

Before Lin Bai came to Jiuyou City and joined Jiuyou Demon Palace, the Shi family and Shi Renshan had repeatedly proposed to the Demon Palace to make the first son of god the emperor.

However, they were all opposed by many elders and families. Although the Mo family is not the head of the family who firmly opposes it, the Mo family, who is the temple family, is willing to stand up, which is also a great support.

As for who is the most determined family? The Yao family where Yao Daogu is, the Zhao family where Zhao Fengxia is, the Liu family where Liu Huan is... etc., these families almost stood up and firmly opposed it when they heard that the First Son of God was about to become the Emperor's Son of the Demon Palace.

He even made a bold statement in the Demon Palace that if the first son of god becomes the emperor's son of the Demon Palace, then the Yao family, Liu family, Zhao family and other families will collectively withdraw from the Demon Palace.

As for why the Yao family, Liu family, Zhao family and other families opposed it so much, it was mainly because these big families had deep hatred with the Shi family.

This kind of "deep hatred" was not formed overnight, but in the past tens of thousands of years, various small frictions, small grudges, etc. have gradually accumulated and eventually become ununsolvable knots.

After Lin Bai received the answer from Elder Mo Danqiu, he smiled and looked at the other heads of the family.

According to Lin Bai's thoughts and order, he will ask Hu Xiangdao of the Sixth Temple for an answer next.

But before Hu Xiangdao could speak, he heard Zhao Lingyang from the Seventh Temple say:

"Our Zhao family and the Mo family have the same idea."

"When Shi Renshan tried his best to recommend the first son of the god to become the emperor's son of the Demon Palace, our Zhao family and the Mo family joined forces to temporarily suppress this matter."

"We don't want to see this 'crazy' become the emperor's son of the Demon Palace!"

Hu Xiangdao, who was suddenly interrupted by Zhao Lingyang of the Seventh Temple, was not angry about it.
