On a piece of land tens of thousands of miles away from Nine Yang City, a beautiful woman was fishing by the lake. Moonlight flickered on the surface of the lake, and silver-white flying fish leaped out of the lake.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed in the void, and then landed respectfully beside the woman.
A black aura twisted on the delicate-looking man's face, and he seemed to be in extreme pain. This caused him to appear to be in great pain, and he only recovered after a long while. He looked at the woman beside him with even more respect, and within that respect, there was a hint of fear.
"What's the situation in Nine Yang City now?" After a while, the woman asked coldly.
"A portion of the demons have already escaped from Luoyang Prison to Nine Yang City, and Nine Yang City's foundation is not in chaos. On the other hand, Luoyang Prison is already in an uproar. The Immortal Army of Nine Yang City has not gained any advantage. It's just that the City Lord of Nine Yang City, Nine Mountains Mountain, is too powerful. It's said that the Corrosive Heart Demon is only able to contend with him because of the advantage of Luoyang Prison. The two of them have fought a few times, and the Corrosive Heart Demon has either used the City Lord's arrangements in Luoyang Prison to avoid or barely block Nine Mountains Mountain, "the delicate-looking man said carefully.
"A City Lord who can oversee a region is naturally not an ordinary Golden Immortal. Can you take this opportunity to disrupt the Immortal Army's rear and create opportunities for the demons in Luoyang Prison? "the woman asked.
"This … Right now, I and the others are all in important positions. Nine Yang City is in a critical period, and we cannot leave our posts easily. Although there is a large gap in Luoyang Prison, the gap has been blocked by most of the Immortal Army of Nine Yang City. Occasionally, only a few demons will escape. If the Corrosive Heart Demon is unable to break through Nine Mountains Mountain's obstruction, I don't have any good ideas," the man said with a look of shame.
"Useless!" The woman scolded. She wanted to use Lu Xiaotian as an example to stop the Immortal Army's subordinates. She had been a pawn of Feng Ju for a few hundred years, and during that time, she had investigated some sporadic passageways in Luoyang Prison. However, those passageways were either closed long ago, or the people she sent in were like stones sinking into the sea. She could not even get any useful information, much less incite the demons inside.
This woman was naturally Yanji. Since she developed Lu Xiaotian into a chess piece, she had made some progress. Yanji was increasingly dissatisfied with the slow movements of the previous chess pieces.
Not long after Lu Xiaotian entered Jiuyang City, there was a riot here. Yan Ji more or less linked it to Lu Xiaotian. However, if Lu Xiaotian was here, he would more or less feel wronged. He had entered Luoyang Prison purely to find out the situation there. He had no intention of doing anything else. After all, it was his first time entering Luoyang Prison with Mu Xia, Bai Ruxue, and the others. It was also a kind of gain to experience the situation in the outermost area of Luoyang Prison.
As for the subsequent changes, Lu Xiaotian had nothing to do with it. It was the result of the Erosive Heart Demon and Lu Song's scheme. Even he had been implicated. If Mu Xia, the daughter of an immortal lord, had not taken out the Wind Five Spirit Diagram, Lu Xiaotian would most likely have been forced to use other means in that chaotic situation.
However, Yanji did not know what Lu Xiaotian had experienced in Luoyang Prison. Out of consideration for her own situation, Yanji tried her best to avoid going to Jiuyang City to avoid revealing her whereabouts.
Not long after Lu Xiaotian had appeared in Jiuyang City, he had gone to Luoyang Prison and caused such a commotion. Even if it was not Lu Xiaotian's doing, it was at least the luck brought about by Lu Xiaotian.
The man only lowered his head under Yanji's reprimand. He did not dare to show any emotion on his face.
Yanji thought for a while. She returned to the vicinity of Jiuyang City. Originally, when she saw the chaos in Luoyang Prison, she thought that Lu Xiaotian was alone and wanted to assign these chess pieces to Lu Xiaotian. She wanted to take advantage of the situation to expand the chaos in Luoyang Prison. However, she did not expect that Lu Xiaotian would cause such a big commotion in Jiuyang City. Before she arrived, Lu Xiaotian had already rushed to the Mysterious Jade Heavenly Court with Mu Xia, Heavenly Marquis Nie, and thousands of other immortal soldiers.
Yanji did not know if Lu Xiaotian was forced by the situation or if he was avoiding her. Although that kid's cultivation level was not high, he had a lot of ideas. It was understandable that he did not want to get involved in such a conflict too early.
Yanji shook her head inwardly. She could only watch and see if there was a chance to make a move. If it did not work, she could only wait for Lu Xiaotian to return to Jiuyang City.
After all, she had waited for so many years. Waiting a little longer would not make a difference. Moreover, Lu Xiaotian's cultivation level had gradually increased. It would not be long before these chess pieces in her hands would be inferior to Lu Xiaotian in terms of cultivation level. However, other than the situation in Luoyang Prison, there was also the problem of Lu Xiaotian.
As Lu Xiaotian's strength and status in the Honghao Heavenly Court increased, Lu Xiaotian was becoming harder and harder to control for Yanji. Yanji was not unaware that Lu Xiaotian had done something to the breeding bats. However, Lu Xiaotian's cultivation level was still low in the past. It was not difficult for Yanji to deal with Lu Xiaotian. In addition, Lu Xiaotian had been very useful, so Yanji turned a blind eye to it. Now, Yanji felt that Lu Xiaotian's strength and status had increased too quickly. He was already a Tier 3 Pill Sage and had come into contact with Daoist Yi Hua. It would be very difficult for her to do anything to Lu Xiaotian. Once a chess piece like Lu Xiaotian who could play a major role from time to time became independent, it would not be easy to find a replacement.
"Alright, you may leave for now. If there's anything, remember to report to me at any time." Yanji originally wanted to give him a few words of advice, but when she saw him cowering, she lost interest. It seemed that she had been too harsh on him in the past. She was not as good as when Lu Xiaotian was a mere True Immortal. Back then, Lu Xiaotian had not been ranked among the Immortals. He was only a True Immortal. He was not as submissive as he was now.
"Yes, Master!" When the man heard this, he hastily retreated.
'Looks like when this little fellow returns, I'll have to think of a way to strengthen my control over him. I don't think threatening him will have much effect. Even ordinary Heavenly Immortals can't do anything to the breeding bats. This fellow is only a Mystic Immortal, and he has a way to deal with them. It might work. This fellow has inherited the Maha Buddhist Sect's inheritance. He's especially interested in the sect's treasures. Also, as a Tier 3 Pill Sage … '
Just as Yanji was thinking about how to prevent Lu Xiaotian from going out of control, Lu Xiaotian had already refined another cauldron of Immortal Pills.
Lu Xiaotian stretched out his hand and beckoned. The fourth type of Starweave Essence Pill was taken into his hand. Looking at the two Immortal Pills of different grades, Lu Xiaotian shook his head. Normally, refining Immortal Pills of this level was not bad. However, since that Kuang Ziyou dared to issue a challenge and the Jade Mystic Heavenly Court dared to place such a heavy bet, there must be a reason behind it.
