Chapter 5995

Back to the Tianshuizong Palace, there are still not many Tianshuizong disciples in it.

Patriarch Pan Qing, the elders, Bai Yifei, Qiao Mo and others are still looking for clues to the treasure key.

Lin Bai didn't notify them first, but went straight back to his house.

The crow stood on the branch of the laurel tree, looking at Lin Bai with a smile in his eyes, "How is it? Have you negotiated with the royal family?"

"It's almost settled, the royal family wants 30%." Lin Bai replied truthfully.

"Thirty percent, isn't that more than my uncle, my uncle refuses to accept it, why should the royal family ask for 30%, and this uncle also wants 30%?" The crow jumped on Lin Bai's shoulder and yelled loudly.

Lin Bai was devastated, "Don't make trouble, if you don't give 30% to the royal family, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the imperial capital."

The royal family already knew about the treasure key, and when Lin Bai took the key in Mingyuefang, Zhao Xingsi also arrived in time... In this way, there is no way to hide it.

Sooner or later, the royal family will find out about Lin Bai's head. If Lin Bai is unwilling to cooperate with the royal family, Lin Bai may not be able to leave the imperial capital.

"Show me that sword."

Lin Bai said to the crow.

The crow pouted, although he was still a little unhappy, he still took out the sword and handed it to Lin Bai.

Lin Baizai looked at the sword carefully... This sword is not very long, it is a short sword.

The whole body is engraved with complicated and ancient patterns, which are filled with the vicissitudes of time.

Lin Bai looked at the sword several times, looking for the "number mark" that Emperor Chu said.

In the end, Lin Bai found a "six" character written in ancient seal script on the sword frame.

"Six..." Lin Bai murmured, "Is this the number corresponding to the map?"

"The label of this treasure key is 'six', so there should also be a map of 'six'."

"If you find this map and bring this key, can you open the sixth treasure left by the Nine Nether Demon Palace?"

Lin Bai checked it carefully several times. Except for the character "six" written in the ancient seal script, there was no writing left on the sword.

"Just call him...'Sword No. 6' for now." Lin Bai smiled.

I don't know what material the Nine Nether Demon Palace is made of for this sword, and it is extremely difficult to be destroyed.

But at the same time, it doesn't have very strong power, and it can barely be regarded as a top-grade Taoist weapon.

"Leave this sword to me for safekeeping. If you find map No. 6, then we will go to treasure hunting together." Lin Bai said to the crow.

"No problem." The crow agreed without thinking, "Do you have any news about the map?"

Lin Bai shook his head blankly... At this time, a brand new problem appeared. The key was found but the door was not found, which was very embarrassing.

It is necessary to find the corresponding "Map No. 6" to open the No. 6 treasure, one of the nine treasures left by the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

"Although I don't have any clues about the No. 6 map...but I think they should." Lin Bai grinned.

"Who?" Crow asked hastily.

"Who else? Nine Nether Demon Palace." Lin Bai smiled.

Lin Bai knew very little about the treasures of the Nine Nether Demon Palace. If the twenty-first prince hadn't been taken away by the Nine Nether Demon Palace this time, Lin Bai wouldn't even know that the Nine Nether Demon Palace left nine treasures.

The rumors of the treasure left by the Nine Nether Demon Palace have been blocked by the top sects in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm.

Even if there are rumors from the outside world, outsiders will think it is a rumor in the market and cannot believe it.

Now this is the first time Lin Bai has come into contact with the treasures of Jiuyou Demon Palace.

Lin Bai put the No. 6 sword into his storage bag, "First tell His Highness King Chen about the No. 6 sword, and let the royal family try to find the No. 6 map."

"At the same time... I also have to find a way to inquire about the situation from the Nine Nether Demon Palace, to see if the Nine Nether Demon Palace has clues to the No. 6 map."

"However... even if the Nine Nether Demon Palace knows the clues of the No. 6 map, he will definitely not tell me easily..."

"So we still have to think of a way to let Jiuyou Demon Palace speak out on its own initiative."

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Bai went straight to Prince Chen's mansion, and informed His Royal Highness the news that he had negotiated with Emperor Chu.

When His Royal Highness Chen Wang heard that Lin Bai had reached an agreement with Emperor Chu, he was obviously relieved, with a smile on his face.

Lin Bai also informed His Royal Highness King Chen about Sword No. 6 and Map No. 6.

His Royal Highness Chen Wang promised to help find the No. 6 map, and if there is any news, he will immediately notify Lin Bai.

After leaving Prince Chen's mansion, when he returned to Tianshuizong's palace, it happened that Patriarch Pan Qing and others had also returned.

Lin Bai called everyone from Tianshuizong into the meeting hall, "The Holy Son suddenly called us over, but do you have any important orders?"

Patriarch Pan Qing, several elders, Bai Yifei, Zhou Xinjun, Qiao Mo, Qin Yao and others all looked at Lin Bai.

"You don't have to work so hard to find the sword." Lin Bai said to everyone.

"Why?" Everyone couldn't understand. Is Lin Bai going to give up looking for the sword?

"I already got that sword." Lin Bai said with a smile.

what! ...Everyone present gasped and stared at Lin Bai with wide-eyed eyes.

They searched hard in the imperial capital for many days, but there was no news about the treasure key.

But Lin Bai didn't show the mountains and water, and actually said that he had found the key to the treasure?

"Brother Shengzi, is this true?" Bai Yifei couldn't help asking.

"Of course it is true." Lin Bai replied decisively.

Bai Yifei, Zhou Xinjun, Qiao Mo, Qin Yao and others couldn't help showing joy on their faces.

Even Patriarch Pan Qing's expression was a little moved, with excitement hidden in his eyes.

Lin Bai said: "Everyone, don't be too happy, I will tell you a bad news next."

what news? ... Everyone was at a loss in their hearts. It was a happy thing to get the key to the treasure. Why is there still bad news?

Lin Bai said to Patriarch Pan Qing: "Although the key to the treasure is in my hands, the royal family already knows about it."

"Has the royal family already known?" Patriarch Pan Qing and everyone in the Tianshui Sect suddenly froze.

It would undoubtedly be the best if Lin Bai quietly obtained the treasure key.

But now that the royal family already knows, the royal family will obviously not just watch Tianshuizong find the treasure of Jiuyou Demon Palace, take this opportunity to grow up, and become a powerful force that can carve up the territory of Chu State.

After all... One hundred thousand years ago, Tianshuizong was suppressed by Chu State because it was too powerful and wanted to carve up the world with Chu State.

This time the suppression lasted for a hundred thousand years.

"That's why I think Tianshuizong can't eat the treasures of Jiuyou Demon Palace, so I decided to cooperate with the royal family..." Lin Bai said about the cooperation with the royal family.

Everyone in the Tianshui Sect was very unhappy on the surface when they heard that they were going to cooperate with the royal family. After all, no one would be willing to share such a big piece of cake with the royal family of Chu.

But everyone in Tianshuizong knew very well...Lin Bai's move was also a helpless move. If he didn't do this, not only would Tianshuizong not get any benefits, they would even risk their sect being wiped out.
