After cultivating in seclusion for nearly 20 years in the cave mansion, a communication light broke through the restriction and flew straight in. Yi Tian sat cross-legged in the cave mansion and slowly opened his eyes. He reached out and took the communication jade talisman. It simply said, "Concubine Yan has returned. Please come to the City Lord's Mansion for a meeting."
After putting away the Asura Dharma Body Statue and Purifying Lotus, Yi Tian's spiritual power suddenly converged. Then, a black demonic power gushed out of his body, and he once again transformed into the appearance of a Flaming Prison Demon Cultivator. He put away the All-directional Extinction Star Shaking Hammer in front of him, but his eyes once again glanced at the pile of refined meteoric iron next to him with a helpless expression on his face.
He had already taken out all the stock in his hands, but after refining it, he found that it was still 20 to 30 percent missing. So, he could only temporarily put aside the matter of refining the Meteor Shield and wait for the opportunity to gather the precious materials to refine it.
After leaving the cave mansion, Yi Tian rushed to the outside of the tallest building in the city. At this time, many demon generals gathered outside the door. When they saw his arrival, they all came forward and saluted. It was the first time for Yi Tian to see many unfamiliar faces. They must be the new personnel sent by the Flaming Prison Demon Emperor after the army gained a foothold in the Demon Ridge Mountain.
After entering the main hall, he found that at this time, there was only one Divine Transformation Stage cultivator, Concubine Yan, in the main hall at this time. The rest of the people were all Divine Transformation Stage cultivators. Needless to say, this was a high-level meeting, only the guest elders of the Flaming Prison Demon Expeditionary Army could attend. And the content of the discussion should be more important.
He walked forward and saluted to Concubine Yan. The latter also smiled and said, "Brother Yi is here, please take a seat." After that, she pointed to the first empty seat on her right.
Yi Tian glanced over and found that Concubine Yan's cultivation had been promoted to the Late Divine Transformation Stage. Compared to the Mid Divine Transformation Stage when he saw her a hundred years ago, she had improved a lot.
However, her aura was obviously not very stable. It should be that she had just advanced not long ago, and most of it was due to the power of the pill stone.
After walking forward and sitting on the right side, he looked up and saw that the first person on his left and right was Granny Yang. At this time, she was looking at him with a smile. However, Yi Tian felt that there seemed to be a little more worry between the other party's brows, and there was also some doubt in his eyes.
Sitting beside him was the newly promoted Demon Spine Mountain's Guardian, Yan Tong. At this moment, he was in high spirits, and the aura of someone in a superior position rose spontaneously. It was likely that he had slowly developed this aura after guarding Demon Spine Mountain for the past few decades.
He nodded slowly, and then his lips moved slightly as he sent a private message, "Brother Yi, please forgive me. The quality and quantity of the meteoric iron you want are too high. I can't find it even after searching everywhere."
Yi Tian smiled faintly and replied, "It's fine. I appreciate Fellow Daoist Yan's efforts."
"Please stay for a while after the meeting," Yan Tong replied simply.
Yi Tian knew that he probably felt guilty, so he wanted to make up for it after the meeting. Of course, he didn't need to reject his good intentions, so he nodded slightly and replied.
As for the other three present, they were the new helpers that Concubine Yan brought from the Flaming Prison Empire. Although he didn't know most of them, they had all heard of his deeds. Naturally, they didn't dare to slight him and all bowed. Yi Tian naturally didn't put on airs. Although these people were temporarily under Concubine Yan's command, they all represented the Flaming Prison Demon Emperor.
In the future, if he had a favor to ask of them, he naturally had to be courteous. He greeted them one by one.
After everyone finished bowing, Concubine Yan coughed softly and said, "The Demon Spine Mountain is now part of the Flaming Prison Demon Clan's territory. Father is very pleased about this."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Concubine Yan then said, "The mining of the Demon Spine Mountain is now on the right track. The annual production can offset more than 30% of the treasury's magic crystal stone reserves. This time, after I returned to the imperial court, I heard that many people were jealous of the job here. Fortunately, father is righteous and didn't listen to slanderous words. He suppressed those dissenting voices. "
Mammy Yang, who was on the left, praised repeatedly, "The Demon Emperor is wise. The third princess is good at managing the army, so the Demon Spine Mountain is flourishing."
Concubine Yan smiled and then changed the topic, "Before I came back this time, someone in the imperial court proposed to send our army to the south to participate in the war. Although father didn't directly agree, he later revealed that he wanted me to send some troops to the south to help. After all, the south is the main battlefield of the Flaming Prison Demon Clan."
As soon as this statement came out, Yi Tian knew the purpose of today's meeting. Although Concubine Yan didn't receive the decree of the Demon Emperor, the Demon Emperor would definitely order the army to go south in the near future.
Now, he didn't know what she would do in advance. After a while, Concubine Yan spoke again, "Father's meaning couldn't be clearer. Now that the fortresses in the Demon Spine Mountain are impregnable, there is no need to send too many people to guard."
"I don't know how the third princess intends to divide the army in the future?" Yan Tong, who was sitting next to him, seized the opportunity to ask at this time.
Yi Tian naturally knew what he meant. Over the years, he had made a lot of money after guarding the Demon Spine Mountain Range. In contrast, going to the south to participate in the war was naturally not as good as staying here to guard. Moreover, he was considered to have joined Concubine Yan's side early and had already submitted his proof of allegiance. Although Concubine Yan's wings were growing, he still wanted to stand out among the many Spirit Severing Stage cultivators and occupy a place.
If the army was divided to go south, naturally someone would be needed to guard the Demon Spine Mountain Range. Now, it seemed that Yang Momo was the best candidate. It was just that she was worried about the third princess's comfort and naturally refused to leave. So, the only one left was to choose between him and Yan Tong. As for the other three people who came later, of course, Concubine Yan couldn't feel at ease to entrust them.
Yi Tian understood the meaning of Yan Tong's words. He saw that Concubine Yan was a little hesitant about this matter and couldn't make up her mind.
Leaving him to guard the Demon Spine Mountain Range was of course the best plan. With the stability of the rear, even if the war in the south was tight, the expeditionary army would have a way to retreat.
But he had always been by her side giving advice. Obviously, Concubine Yan couldn't make up her mind this time. After glancing at everyone present, she glanced back and forth between herself and Yan Tong. She couldn't make a decision for a while.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian said, "Fellow Daoist Yan Tong has been guarding the Demon Spine Mountain Range peacefully for many years. I think he is the best candidate to stay behind. As the saying goes, don't doubt people you don't use. Since the third princess wants to share the burden of the Demon Emperor, she naturally has to be prepared in advance. "
Concubine Yan was relieved after hearing that. She then asked, "How do you think we should arrange the troops to stay behind?"
Stretching out two fingers, Yi Tian said with a smile, "Now the defensive fortifications of the Demon Spine Mountain Range have begun to take shape. We only need two Spirit Severing Stage cultivators to stay behind and rely on the defensive array formation of the fortress to defend the border. Even if there is an invasion by a Body Integration Stage cultivator, we can rely on the geographical advantage and the defensive array formation to defend and wait for reinforcements. In addition, we also need to leave a few elite demon generals to assist. The third princess can naturally make arrangements at her discretion. "
Having said that, Yi Tian returned the right to speak to Concubine Yan. It was better for her to decide the next thing. First, she weighed the pros and cons. It was easy to choose the demon generals and the people to assist her.
Granny Yang also spoke at the right time, "Brother Yi is right. This old one is the first to agree."
