After forcing Ye Luan away, Yi Tian slowly landed and returned to the barracks. Then, he hurriedly called Concubine Yan's trusted aide to give him instructions.
Since then, the construction of the two fortresses of the Flaming Prison Demon Army began to speed up. Many unnecessary facilities were placed aside first, and many nodes of the defensive formation were chosen to be built first.
Soon, the two barracks, which were three hundred miles apart, were connected. A small defensive node was set up every thirty miles. After opening, it could withstand the siege of ten Divine Transformation cultivators. In this way, eight or nine nodes formed an island chain defense, cutting off the front of the Demon Spine Mountain.
Then, Demon Infant cultivators were stationed separately with small teams. Whenever there was an enemy attack, the defensive formation would be opened first, and then the Divine Transformation Demon General in the formation would lead troops to reinforce.
During this period, the Flying Rakshasa on the opposite side also organized many small teams to launch probing attacks. Both sides maintained restraint and did not expand the battle.
After that, Yi Tian no longer dared to hide in the cave residence to cultivate. Every now and then, he would go out to patrol outside the defense line.
Until half a year later, when Yi Tian was patrolling, he found a red escape light flying straight toward the barracks from the rear. After scanning with his Divine Thought, he found that it was a dragon tooth warship, but its scale was larger than the expeditionary army's flagship.
After a while, a two thousand feet long and five hundred feet wide warship appeared in front of him. After flying in the air, it slowly slowed down and finally stopped at the airport fifty miles away from the barracks.
Not long after, several escape lights flew out from the warship and went straight to the barracks. After Yi Tian landed, he returned to his tent and waited.
Needless to say, it was Concubine Yan who went to the Flaming Prison Demon Capital. But this time, she seemed to have brought back a lot of people. Among this group of people, Yi Tian found that there were at least two people with similar cultivation as him.
Just as he was thinking about what to do next, he suddenly heard a soldier outside the tent, "Dear guest, the general has returned to the barracks and invites you to the tent for a meeting."
Knowing that he couldn't avoid this matter, Yi Tian simply got up and walked slowly toward the barracks. But in his heart, he was thinking about how to face Concubine Yan and the people she brought with her.
Previously, Concubine Yan seemed to only rely on herself. It was obvious that she had no subordinates to rely on, so she obeyed. But now, it was obvious that he had gained the trust of the Demon Emperor. That was why he returned with such great fanfare. Not only did he bring soldiers and warships, he even sent a Severed Divinity cultivator. It was not hard to imagine how much importance the Demon Emperor attached to this place.
When he reached the main entrance of the tent, he extended his Divine Perception and found that all fifteen Demon Generals from both armies were present. Then, Concubine Yan's voice could be heard, "Big Brother Yi is here, please come in."
After slowly walking into the big tent, he found that Concubine Yan was sitting on the main seat in the middle, and there were two middle-stage Spirit Severing cultivators sitting on her left and right sides. It seemed that they were the reinforcements sent by Flaming Prison Devil Emperor. The two people were a man and a woman. The woman looked at Imperial Concubine Yan leisurely, her eyes full of love. Needless to say, she should be on Imperial Concubine Yan's side.
As for the other man, he had a solemn expression as he looked at the demon generals around him. When his gaze landed on him, a glint flashed across his eyes before he retracted his gaze.
Concubine Yan hurriedly stood up and cupped her fists, "Big Brother Yi, please take a seat."
Yi Tian glanced around and found that the seat that Concubine Yan had arranged for him was just below the female cultivator. After slowly walking up and sitting down, Concubine Yan took out a roll of beast skin and began to read out the decree of Flaming Prison Devil Emperor. Listening carefully, it seemed that Flaming Prison Devil Emperor approved of Concubine Yan's proposal, and this time, he even sent two Severed Divinity cultivators to help.
The whole meeting lasted for nearly half an hour before it ended. During this time, Yi Tian just sat there like an old monk, and he almost didn't hear anything useful. Only after Concubine Yan assigned all the tasks did everyone slowly stand up and leave. Yi Tian was about to stand up, but when he turned around, he saw Concubine Yan lowering her head and moving her lips a few times, "Big Brother Yi, please wait."
If he knew that she would do this, Yi Tian would have stayed in his seat and waited for everyone to leave before he turned around and looked at Concubine Yan who was sitting on the main seat. Concubine Yan waved her hand and cast a soundproof barrier to envelop the two of them.
After a while, she said, "Big Brother Yi, thank you for taking care of the army for me these past few years. I heard that there were high-level cultivators of the Flying Rakshasa Race who came to make trouble before the New Year, but they were all sent away by Big Brother Yi."
"It's a small matter. I've just been supervising the construction of the army camp here these years," Yi Tian replied lightly, "As for the Flying Rakshasa Race's invasion, it was unexpected. Fortunately, I sent him away after fighting with him. "
"I don't think it's that simple," Concubine Yan stood up with a smile, then walked down the stairs gently to Yi Tian, then chose a seat and sat down, "I heard that the person who came was Ye Luan, the captain of the Flying Rakshasa Race's realm search team here. This person's cultivation has reached the late stage of Severed Divinity, and ordinary Severed Divinity cultivators may not be his opponent."
To be honest, after Concubine Yan returned this time, Yi Tian felt that her eyes were not as firm as before when she faced him, and there was even a hint of doubt. Although she didn't explicitly exclude her, the decree she issued just now directly excluded her from the group.
But this was also reasonable. At that time, he had successfully entered the Demon Realm with her power. And now that she had soldiers and food by her side, she naturally had a lot of confidence.
After thinking for a while, he changed the topic and asked, "I don't know if everything went smoothly after you returned this time. It seems that the Demon Emperor didn't punish you too much for seizing power."
"Big Brother Yi is really clever. The reaction of father and the ministers under him is as you expected. Most of the situation is as you said before, the royal family still needs to rely on the bloodline inheritance. So father took this opportunity to delegate power to my many brothers and sisters, "Concubine Yan replied with admiration in her eyes.
"That's just expected. I guess this time the Demon Emperor sent you two Severed Divinity cultivators to see how you control them. "Also, those brothers and sisters of yours have also formed their own cliques to find people to help them. But don't tell me they haven't secretly caused trouble for you? That's not the style of the imperial family," teased Yi Tian.
Speaking of which, Concubine Yan frowned and said with a drooping face, "Who said they didn't? This time, the two Severed Divinity cultivators were sent by my mother. On the other hand, Yan Tong is from Fourth Brother's mother's clan. With him involved, many things will be restricted and unable to be carried out. "
So the two Severed Divinity cultivators are not on the same side. Yi Tian laughed in his heart. He didn't expect Flaming Prison Demon Emperor to balance the situation. This way, there will be many restrictions on him, but as long as he handles the relationship well, he can handle it with ease.
After thinking for a while, he replied with a smile, "This is probably the Demon Emperor's test for you. When facing those ministers who are difficult to control, you have to think of a way to maximize their effectiveness."
"Then how should I deal with Yan Tong? This person didn't give me a good look along the way, and he always seems to be obeying me. I am afraid that when the time comes, I will have to trouble Big Brother Yi to do a lot of things, "Concubine Yan said helplessly.
"Don't worry, you can let him be in charge of some things. As long as you are reasonable in everything, he will not object," Yi Tian explained.
