Chapter 6770 The Lurking Qinglian Sect!
"I suspect that the Qinglian Sect will be detrimental to Prince Qin!"
As soon as these words came out, Chu Tinghan and Princess Shenxian both cheered up and looked at Chu Tingxue in surprise.
Chu Zimo's eyes widened and he asked: "Second sister, is this impossible? After all, we received a request for help from the Seven Nights Divine Sect and came to help put down the rebellion in the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory."
"Even if Qinglian Sect doesn't help us, it won't embarrass us, right?"
Lin Bai was also a little surprised by this.
He has no grudges against the Qinglian Sect in the past and in the recent past, and he has never offended them.
How could they do this to their detriment?
And just as Chu Zimo said... Chu's army is here to help the Seven Nights Divine Sect quell the rebellion. Even if the Qinglian Sect is unwilling to help, it will not embarrass them.
"If I think about it too much, that would be for the best."
"But if I guess correctly, then things will be in trouble."
Chu Tingxue said with a gloomy face: "I have three inferences about this."
"First."
"The Qinglian Sect and our Chu State have never dealt with each other and have some grievances."
"Once upon a time, the Qinglian Sect wanted to invade the territory of the Chu State and included the Demonic Dragon Mountain Range and the nine thousand states in front of it within the territory of the Qingye Divine Sect, the Qinglian Sect."
"But they failed that year."
"I was beaten to the point of running away by the army led by my father."
"The State of Chu even sent a letter to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, requesting the Chu State's army to enter the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect and destroy the Qinglian Sect."
"After hearing this, the Qinglian Sect sent an envoy to the imperial capital to beg for mercy."
"In order to teach Qinglian Sect a lesson, Chu State did not destroy their sect, but it gave them great shame and humiliation."
"As for the great shame and humiliation, you should have guessed it."
"Back then... the head of the Qinglian Sect sent his sect's saint to Mingyuefang, the imperial capital, to become an oiran."
"This incident was a huge blow to the Qinglian Sect. It once made the Qinglian Sect the laughing stock of the Seven Nights Sect. It was only after this battle that the Qinglian Sect showed signs of decline."
After hearing Chu Tingxue's analysis, Lin Bai suddenly remembered that Chu State and Qinglian Sect still had this grudge.
Although it was the Qinglian Sect who took the initiative and the Chu army had to fight back, the subsequent handling did indeed cause the Qinglian Sect to lose face.
The saint from her sect was sent to the imperial capital to become an oiran.
This is a great shame and humiliation for any sect.
"second."
"The contemporary saint of Qinglian Sect also died in the imperial capital."
"The Qinglian Sect must have a grudge against the Chu State."
"Previously in the imperial capital, they did not dare to have any violence with Prince Qin and Zimo, but now in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect and within their mountain gate, no one can predict what kind of actions they will make."
Lin Bai remembered again that the contemporary saint of Qinglian Sect died in Mingyuefang in the imperial capital.
It was also because of this that the head of the Qinglian Sect begged His Majesty the Chu Emperor for mercy and released the previous-generation saint who was working as an oiran in Mingyuefang.
But when Lin Bai thought about it carefully... wasn't the person who killed the contemporary saint of Qinglian Sect the warrior of Jiuyou Demon Palace?
In this case, how can Qinglian Sect help Jiuyou Demon Palace?
Um?
Not right either.
Lin Bai suddenly remembered the words of the third prince... When the interests of the sect are threatened, the life of a saint son and a saint becomes not so important.
If faced with huge interests, Qinglian Sect might temporarily put aside their grudges and seek huge benefits for the sect first.
Especially the current Qinglian Sect, which has been in decline since its defeat at the hands of Chu State many years ago.
They desperately need a huge victory to turn over.
"third."
"The situation in the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory is obviously a situation of all-out war."
"The Qinglian Sect knows very well that they cannot avoid it."
"But why are they still standing still?"
"Do you have any ulterior motives?"
Chu Tingxue was worthy of being a proud daughter trained by Prince Liang. She could clearly analyze the attitude of the Qinglian Sect in just a few words.
Chu Zimo frowned and asked, "Second sister, what is the Qinglian Sect planning?"
Chu Tingxue chuckled and said, "I don't know."
"But they only have two plans."
"First, when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured."
"They may be waiting for the coalition forces of Qiye Shenzong, Fantian Sect, Baitian Sect, and the coalition forces of Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley to defeat both sides before they step out and reap the benefits."
Chu Zimo's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement: "Yes, if I were the Qinglian Sect, I would do the same."
"Let Qiye Shenzong and Phoenix Valley fight first, and I will be the oriole."
"Anyway, the current war in the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory cannot burn the territory of the Green Lotus Sect for the time being."
Lin Bai and Chu Zimo both agreed with this statement.
Even Lin Bai thought so. He just thought that the Qinglian Sect was watching the fire from the other side, observing the situation and trying to get some benefits from the chaos.
"but……"
Chu Tingxue continued: "If the Qinglian Sect wants to be an oriole, then it doesn't matter. What I'm most afraid of is..."
She hesitated to speak.
Chu Tinghan and Princess Shenxian both looked at Chu Tingxue.
Lin Bai and Chu Zimo were also waiting for her follow-up words.
Chu Tingxue's tone suddenly turned cold: "The most fearful thing is... they have already been instigated by Jiuyou Demon Palace and Beiyu to rebel, and yet they have been holding back their troops for so long. They are probably waiting for our Chu army."
hiss……
A word awakens a dreamer.
Chu Tingxue's words were like a bolt of lightning that struck Lin Bai's body, and suddenly made his heart bright.
Many things that he couldn't figure out disappeared at this moment.
Lin Bai speculated that the Qinglian Sect might be observing the situation and chose to stay put, but he didn't think that... the Qinglian Sect was waiting for the Chu army.
Chu Zimo was shocked and said, "Is this impossible?"
"It's possible." Lin Bai answered for Chu Tingxue: "Once the war starts, the Nine Nether Demon Palace and the Northern Territory are very clear that the Seven Nights Divine Sect must not be their opponent."
"The Seven Nights Divine Sect will definitely ask the Chu State for help."
"And if the Chu army wants to enter the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory, it must enter the Qinglian Sect's territory."
"But... Your Highness, we didn't seem to meet the Nine Nether Demon Palace and the Northern Territory along the way."
"We didn't even encounter any obstacles."
Lin Bai took a deep breath, his eyes shining: "Did the Nine Nether Demon Palace and the Northern Territory never think that... the Chu State would send troops to ask for help?"
"If they thought of it, how could they not deploy troops on the border?"
"They don't need too many people, they just need to stop us, but they didn't do that."
Lin Bai took a deep breath and continued: "The Nine Nether Demon Palace and the Northern Territory are not fools. The reason why they are so confident in showing their backs to us is that they must have set up a trap."
"This trap is most likely the Qinglian Sect that has been sitting still!"
Hearing Lin Bai's words, Chu Tingxue smiled with her red lips and nodded repeatedly: "So just now I asked you if you encountered any danger after entering the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, but there was no danger at all. This... seems too abnormal."
