It had been around 100 years since he last came to Prairie Fire City. Last time, he was led by Yan Tong to participate in the Ice Essence Flame event. Fortunately, he stood out from the crowd of Spirit Severing cultivators and was able to rob Yan Lei's Glassflame Cold Cauldron.
This matter had always been a sore point for him. Not to mention hiding it from a Body Integration cultivator, Yan Lei most likely had him take out the black bead on purpose.
However, it wouldn't be easy for him to spit it out now that it was in his hands. Not to mention, he had inspected the bead and found that it shouldn't be something from the Devil Realm. Not only that, he also found a Buddhist incantation mark on the bead. It was clearly a Buddhist treasure that had been demonized.
Now that it had fallen into his hands, it had been purified over the years and most of the devilish aura had been removed. Now, the entire bead was golden with a layer of dark grey spots on the surface.
Right now, Yi Tian was worried that Yan Lei would definitely know about the treasures left behind in the 'Azure Abyss Ice Flame Cauldron'. If he really asked for it, it would be troublesome.
Yi Tian arrived at Prairie Fire City with a nervous heart. After showing the city lord's invitation jade slip, he was directly brought to the side hall of the city lord's mansion. Including this time, it was already his second time here. What was different from the last time was that he was the only one here to meet Yan Lei.
After waiting in the hall for a while, he found that the attendants had already left and he was the only one in the large side hall.
Logically speaking, a Body Integration cultivator's divine sense should be able to cover the entire Prairie Fire City. Yan Lei should have noticed him after he entered the city. However, Yi Tian didn't know what Yan Lei was planning to do by leaving him here. However, when he thought about the difference in cultivation base and identity, he calmed himself down and found a place to sit down and wait.
Half a day later, he suddenly felt a slight fluctuation of spirit pressure around him. Yi Tian opened his eyes and looked at the center. A moment later, a black halo flashed in his eyes as he used his Heavenly Devil Eyes.
He glanced at the seat and saw a shadow. It should be Burning Prairie City Lord Yan Lei. Although he didn't know what the other party meant by this, Yi Tian didn't want to be rude. He slowly stood up and cupped his hands towards the shadow on the main seat, "Greetings, City Lord."
"Good boy, you're really good." Yan Lei's face slowly appeared on the originally empty main seat. He seemed to be very satisfied with his own performance.
After a while, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Yi Tian, do you know your crime?"
"I don't know. City Lord, please tell me in detail," Yi Tian said calmly, but he was startled inside. What was to come would come. He just had to see how Yan Lei would make his move.
"You have committed three crimes. Firstly, you stole the Magic Relic from my 'Green Netherworld Ice Flame Cauldron'. The second was to sneak into the Bone Burying Sacred Land and break the agreement between the two races. Third, he killed the clone of the Dark Demon Clan's Patriarch and incited conflict between the two clans, "said Yan Lei with a solemn expression.
He must have thought of these words in advance. Yi Tian's expression didn't change when he heard this. He smiled faintly and said, "What I did was naturally for the good of the Third Palace Master. The Magic Relic from the 'Green Netherworld Ice Flame Cauldron' has been in there for a thousand years and City Lord hasn't taken it out. It must be a useless item. I just took it."
As he spoke, Yi Tian tried to size up Yan Lei's expression. He found that he didn't refute, so he gathered his courage and continued, "As for sneaking into the Bone Burying Sacred Land, that is even more nonsense. After the extra life and death battle, I returned to the expeditionary army camp's cave and closed up. At this time, the entire army camp can testify for me. As for the third crime of killing the Dark Demon Clan's Patriarch's clone, it is even more impossible. I hope City Lord will investigate. "
Yan Lei was angered by these words and laughed. He sized up Yi Tian and said, "Good, you really are a young hero. You can hide from me and Old Abyss's eyes. You are quite capable. Seeing that you took care of my son many times in the Bone Burying Sacred Land, we will let this matter go. "
"Thank you, City Lord, for letting bygones be bygones," Yi Tian replied. In any case, Yan Lei had given him a way out, so he might as well hit the snake with the stick. He was afraid that there would be more things to ask of him.
The scene fell silent. After a while, Yan Lei said, "Little Yi, I am now a little interested in your origin. You tried every means to get close to Yan Fei and gave her advice to seize the position of Crown Princess. It seems that your ultimate goal is to go to the Demon World's Abyss."
Hearing this, Yi Tian was surprised. He didn't expect Yan Lei to reveal his purpose in one sentence. It seemed that today's banquet was a trap. His cultivation was still too low. In front of a Unity Stage cultivator, he couldn't play any tricks.
Moreover, he dared to face him alone like this, so he was naturally not afraid of any tricks. Thinking of this, Yi Tian's face was gloomy. Thousands of thoughts flew through his mind, but he was relieved after a while. Since Yan Lei invited him alone this time, there must be a reason. Otherwise, he wouldn't be nagging here.
After a moment of silence, Yi Tian asked, "What does senior see in me?"
"You are not afraid in the face of danger. I really didn't misjudge you," Yan Lei said indifferently, "I don't care what your purpose is in going to the Demon World's Abyss, but since I have recommended you, there must be a corresponding reward."
"That's natural. Since the City Lord has praised me so highly, this junior does not dare to claim to be humble. What is your request?" Since the dagger had already been revealed, Yi Tian did not beat around the bush and directly replied.
"I want you to find a drop of 'Flame Demon's Tear' for me in the Demon World's Abyss," Yan Lei said and directly took out a jade slip and handed it over.
"May I ask what this' Flame Demon's Tear 'is?" Yi Tian was puzzled.
"That is a drop of essence condensed from the body of a Body Integration Stage cultivator of my Flaming Prison Demon Clan's senior after he died in the Demon World's Abyss. It can be said that the Demonic True Elemental Energy that originally dissipated in the body was preserved through a special cultivation method," Yan Lei explained.
"Senior, are you sure you can find this item in the Demon World's Abyss?" Yi Tian asked again. After all, this item was too precious. It could be considered a relic left behind by a Body Integration Stage cultivator. The energy contained in it was incomparably huge and not easy to obtain.
"The jade slip I gave you indicated three places where the 'Flame Demon's Tear' may appear. After you find it, you can give it to the other two and have them bring it out," Yan Lei said.
"Have them bring it out?" Yi Tian was a little confused, "Could it be that the City Lord and the Demon King have already discussed it?"
"Just do as I say. After you finish, you can do your own things," Yan Lei said, "There are still 50 years before the trip to the Demon World's Abyss. During this time, you can stay in seclusion in Prairie Fire City and cultivate."
"That's good too," Yi Tian only curled his lips and said.
