I Have A Cunning Plan
Mo Huaishan saw Bai Wei staring at Mo Yu with a strange expression, he was startled and quickly shielded Mo Yu.
“Children don’t understand, they offended the Envoy, I hope the Envoy will forgive them!”
Lin Luochen had no idea about Bai Wei’s bizarre ideas, and was also baffled by her sudden actions.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing!”
Bai Wei waved her hands repeatedly, then her eyes gleamed with anticipation, staring intently at Lin Luochen.
“Benefactor, how did you come back?”
That fervent gaze made Lin Luochen somewhat flustered, he slightly turned his head away.
“I knew you were in trouble, so I came back. Tell me what happened first!”
Bai Wei hummed, secretly thinking that her Benefactor was truly powerful, he even knew about this.
She recounted the events, but her gaze remained fixed on Lin Luochen, fearing that he would disappear in the blink of an eye.
When she heard that Hongyun Demon Lord was going to hold a “Man-Eating Banquet,” and that Tian Du Demon Lord was using this to blackmail Bai Wei and the Human Race, a cold light flashed in Lin Luochen’s eyes.
These Demon Lords truly treated the Human Race like grass!
“When is this so-called Man-Eating Banquet?”
“At the end of this month, she seems to want to invite the surrounding Demon Clans, and also lure the Human Race strong people to wipe them out in one fell swoop.”
Bai Wei looked unwilling and indignant, Lin Luochen frowned, and asked about their concept of time.
After all, the last time he came, Bai Wei didn’t even know what year or month it was, lest there be another misunderstanding.
Bai Wei explained to him that since the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, the Human Race finally connected with the outside world.
For the convenience of communication with various clans, the Human Race also used the same time calculation method as the other clans.
The time calculation method is almost the same as in later generations, only the name is not Qingxu Calendar, but God-Demon Calendar.
Lin Luochen asked curiously upon hearing this: “Lingyin, why did later generations change to the Qingxu Calendar?”
Qu Lingyin’s voice rang out in his mind: “Ancient times are also known as the God-Demon Era, so naturally the God-Demon Calendar was used.”
“The Qingxu Calendar was used in the near-ancient period, after the Demons, Monsters, and Witches declined, and the Human Race rose to become the masters of Heaven and Earth.”
Lin Luochen suddenly realized, and seeing that he was silent, Bai Wei looked at him anxiously.
“Benefactor, are you confident?”
After all, Lin Luochen had been mentioned before, but now that everyone’s cultivation was higher, they naturally understood the weight of a Demon Lord.
According to the Mystic Bird, Lin Luochen’s strength could at most barely reach the edge of a Demon Lord, and he could not defeat Hongyun Demon Lord.
Once they fell into the encirclement of Hongyun Demon Lord and other Demon Heads, there was a risk of falling.
Lin Luochen came to his senses and said with a wry smile: “To be honest, I’m not very confident.”
Bai Wei’s face instantly turned pale: “This… what should we do?”
“We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”
Lin Luochen smiled, “Take me to see Xuan Yin and the others first.”
Bai Wei nodded and said, “The King and Hei Lian will be very happy to know you’re back.”
Lin Luochen hummed, and followed Bai Wei into the city, the others quickly followed.
On the way, Qu Lingyin reminded: “Lin Luochen, you can only use the power of the Void Refinement Realm, you can’t kill a Demon Lord of the Void Refinement Realm!”
“And, if you kill one Hongyun Demon Lord, there is also Tian Du Demon Lord, and you might even attract a Great Ascension Demon Lord, you can’t kill them all!”
Lin Luochen hummed and said: “I know I can’t kill them all, so I don’t plan to fight against the Demon Clan.”
Qu Lingyin curiously asked: “Then what are you planning to do?”
Lin Luochen said calmly: “I have my own plans, just watch!”
Qu Lingyin was really curious about what he would do, after all, the Human Race had clearly been targeted by the Demon Clan.
The current Human Race was simply unable to contend with the powerful Demon Clan, and a head-on confrontation would only lead to death.
Even if Lin Luochen really killed Hongyun Demon Lord, other Demon Lords would appear sooner or later, he couldn’t possibly keep an eye on the Human Race forever.
Lin Luochen thought carefully, occasionally coughing, which made Bai Wei, who was watching him, feel extremely distressed.
“Benefactor, why are you injured again?”
She really didn’t understand why every time she saw her Benefactor, he was seriously injured.
Has he been coughing up blood for these two hundred years?
Seeing her distressed gaze, Lin Luochen felt a little awkward, and nodded helplessly.
“It’s a minor injury, it doesn’t matter!”
Bai Wei said oh, feeling conflicted, she really didn’t want the already injured Lin Luochen to take any more risks.
But the decision rested with Lin Luochen, and she couldn’t speak to influence his decision.
They had just entered the city when a guard hurried towards them.
“Goddess Bai Wei, you’re back. The King is holding a meeting, summoning the clan heads of various clans to discuss matters!”
Bai Wei nodded, and also roughly understood the content of the meeting, it was nothing more than whether the Human Race would submit or not.
This meeting had already been held several times, but no conclusion had been reached, this time it was probably going to be the final decision.
“I understand, I’ll go there now!”
A moment later, the two arrived in front of the palace halfway up the mountain.
A large section of the palaces here had collapsed, clearly affected by the great battle, but they had already been cleared away.
With Bai Wei leading the way, Lin Luochen easily entered the palace, while Mo Huaishan and the others were left outside.
Lin Luochen walked through the palace, curiously looking at the stone palace.
This palace was clearly not as grand as the palaces of later generations, and its main purpose was not to display royal power, but to handle daily affairs.
Not only did Xuan Yin live in the palace, but Bai Wei, Chi Feng, and others also lived inside, it was a common residence for the leaders of various clans.
On the way, people were constantly passing by in a hurry, and when they saw Lin Luochen beside Bai Wei, they couldn’t help but be surprised.
Those who recognized Lin Luochen all showed joy, some were even moved to tears.
He’s back!
The Human Race is saved!
Before Lin Luochen entered the council hall, Xuan Yin’s excited voice had already reached his ears.
“The Human Race absolutely cannot submit, although Tian Du Demon Lord seems to be good to the Human Race, deep down he is still a demon!”
“He will still enslave the Human Race, and will allow his subordinate demons to eat our clansmen, submitting to him is just adding fuel to the fire!”
“And if we do this, the years of accumulation of the Shang Dynasty will be destroyed, and no more Human Race will come to seek refuge!”
A woman’s voice came out, vaguely recognizable as the voice of Xuan Shu, the priestess of the Mystic Bird Clan.
“Your Majesty, but if we don’t do this, we won’t even be able to overcome the current crisis!”
“The two Mystic Bird High Immortals are now seriously injured, and said that if there is another attack next time, they may not be able to support it.”
Another woman’s cold voice came out: “What are we afraid of, we’ll just fight them to the death!”
Qingteng’s voice came out: “Hei Lian, don’t be impulsive, if the fish dies, the net won’t break!”
Hei Lian sneered: “So you want to send Bai Wei to Tian Du, to get him to save Chi Feng?”
“Bah, you actually came up with this, anyway I don’t agree, I’d rather die!”
A few unfamiliar voices came out to smooth things over: “Yes, Hei Lian, that’s not what we meant.”
“Isn’t this a discussion? It still depends on Bai Wei’s opinion, we’re just giving our opinion!”
“That’s right, it’s just a discussion, let’s overcome the current crisis first, and then we’ll take things slowly!”
……
Hei Lian directly spat: “Shameless, you deliberately said this knowing that Bai Wei is back.”
“Bai Wei, you heard that, these shameless people are trying to force a palace coup, are you going to marry or not?”
Bai Wei glanced at Lin Luochen, Lin Luochen strode into the council hall, and saw Xuan Yin sitting in the middle.
His face was pale, on par with Lin Luochen’s, at this moment he was frowning, apparently this Human King couldn’t control the situation either.
Others sat on his left and right, with the first seat on the lower left empty, and other seats were also vacant.
Lin Luochen glanced over and found Xuan Shu, Qingteng, Qingyi, and others were there, but Hei Lian, whose voice had just been heard, was nowhere to be seen.
While he was still searching, everyone looked at him in surprise, Xuan Yin even stood up in disbelief.
“You… you’re back?”
The black-robed girl in the second seat on the lower left also opened her mouth in surprise, and rubbed her eyes.
“Damn it, you’re not dead!”
Lin Luochen looked at the beautiful girl in her twenties, he couldn’t recognize her, so he could only nod awkwardly.
“Who… are you?”
The girl immediately patted the table angrily: “Get lost, you can’t read, and you’re also face-blind!”
Lin Luochen heard her voice again, and finally understood, he said in astonishment: “Hei Lian?”
Wasn’t this the voice everyone just called Hei Lian?
The girl giggled: “Hey, you finally remembered?”
Lin Luochen looked at the girl with a bright smile, he couldn’t associate her with the genderless little black charcoal.
How the hell could I remember that? Do you have a misunderstanding about your childhood appearance?
He smiled helplessly, and looked at everyone: “Everyone, long time no see, how are you?”
Qingyi smiled brightly: “I’m fine, I’m not dead, you’re back just in time.”
Lin Luochen looked at the empty seat on the lower left, and sighed: “I’m still too late!”
Xuan Yin was like seeing a life-saving straw, and quickly said: “It’s okay, it’s not too late, let’s sit down and talk!”
But looking at the seats in the hall, he hesitated whether he should stand up and give up his seat.
But Lin Luochen had already naturally sat down in the empty seat, Bai Wei returned to her seat, separated from Lin Luochen by Hei Lian.
With Lin Luochen seated, Xuan Yin suddenly gained confidence and slammed the table.
“Okay, let’s continue the discussion!”
The hall was silent, the voices advocating submission had all disappeared.
Xuan Yin slapped the table heavily and snorted coldly: “You speak! Why aren’t you speaking?”
Obviously, he had been pressured by the clan heads before, and was very angry, which is why he was so out of control now.
Everyone was silent, only Xuan Shu sighed: “Your Majesty, calm down. We are all for the survival of the Human Race.”
“Since… the Dao Ancestor has returned, we can indeed take our time, we don’t necessarily have to submit to the Demon Clan.”
Others also echoed, Xuan Yin snorted coldly: “Then who still advocates submission?”
Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to be the first, and finally all looked at Lin Luochen.
Under everyone’s expectant gazes, Lin Luochen slowly spoke: “I think… we should submit!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent, everyone was dumbfounded, looking incredulous.
Xuan Yin was even more shocked, his pupils dilated, and he wanted to grab Lin Luochen and ask.
We were about to fight to the death, why did the Dao Ancestor surrender first?
