After the secret meeting aboard the Night King, the Palace Lord of the Demon Palace gave Lin Bai two tasks.
First, he had to draw up a new division of the maps for the five great thousand-province regions: Yaotai Thousand Provinces, Shuiyun Thousand Provinces, Wannian Thousand Provinces, Chang'an Thousand Provinces, and Yongqing Thousand Provinces.
This redrawing of the borders would require the constant approval of six forces: the Duanmu Family, the Star Palace, the Li Family, the Zhou Family, Qinghe Island, and the Heavenly Sword Sect.
This was no easy matter.
Each of the six forces had its own plans, and it was impossible to satisfy every demand when everyone was pulling in a different direction.
So Lin Bai had already made up his mind. As long as the result was not too outrageous and they could accept it for the most part, that would be enough.
Second, he had to persuade the Star Palace and the Duanmu Family to accept the Devil Palace's arrangements.
After all, the Star Palace and the Duanmu Family would suffer the greatest losses from this redrawing of the territories.
The Star Palace had originally possessed Yaotai Thousand Provinces, but the Devil Palace had later ordered it to hand the region over to the Duanmu Family.
Now the Star Palace would lose one-third of its territory, while the Duanmu Family would receive only a small portion of land. This was not good news for either force.
Thus, persuading them to agree would not be simple.
However, since Duanmu Hong of the Duanmu Family has been demoted back to the Devil Palace to face the wall and reflect on her mistakes, the person about to take charge of the Duanmu Family's affairs within Yaotai Thousand Provinces is Duanmu Yang.
