After chatting with Yan Lifeng for a while, Yi Tian swaggered out of the restaurant. Then, he walked into a few inconspicuous alleys in the Prairie Fire City and disappeared after taking a few turns.
Afterward, he returned to his cave residence and set up a restriction on the cave door. He focused on cultivating in seclusion and blocked all communication jade talismans from the outside. This also showed that he didn't want to waste time dealing with all kinds of trivial matters in Prairie Fire City. He focused on cultivating in seclusion so that he could deal with the upcoming trip to the Devil World's Abyss.
During the days when Yi Tian was cultivating in seclusion, a few big things happened in Prairie Fire City. The Second Prince, Yan Lifeng, took the opportunity of going out to hunt and got in touch with Yan Fei, the general of the expeditionary army.
Then, Yan Fei personally went to Prairie Fire City to visit the castellan. After that, Yan Lifeng was promoted to the position of deputy general of the expeditionary army and was in charge of a side division. As for the expeditionary army, it was now divided into three. Yan Lifeng and the Seventh Prince each led a side division of ten thousand people.
As for the general, the Third Princess, Yan Fei, led twenty thousand elite troops and a group of Spirit Severing cultivators, elders, and consecrators. The nine of them formed a backbone force that couldn't be underestimated.
Of course, this was only possible with the tacit consent of the Inferno Hell Devil Emperor. As for the Prairie Fire City Castellan's royal uncle, Yan Lei, he neither agreed nor objected to this. However, in the eyes of outsiders, since he sent his son to the expeditionary army as the deputy general, it was also a good way to express his stance.
As a result, the situation of the Infernal Empire's succession became clear. Although the Fourth Prince had the support of his mother's force, he could only resist the Third Princess's force that was fully developed.
In addition, his performance on the battlefield for so many years had disappointed the various forces in the imperial court. On one side, there was a rising super newcomer with a large force that could conquer ten thousand miles of territory for the Devil Emperor within a hundred years. The old officials in the imperial court naturally knew how to choose.
Since then, the Third Princess's force had formed many alliances in the Infernal Empire to stabilize their forces. In addition, with the tacit approval of the Infernal Empire's Devil Emperor, the forces around her now occupied one-third of the empire.
In addition, the grand competition that was held once in a thousand years was also held. Everyone knew that the two people who won this competition would obtain the quota for the trip to the Demon World's Abyss.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so no one would give it up. Naturally, all the Severed Soul Stage cultivators wanted to participate.
Although there were a lot of people, there were only two spots in the end. In order to prevent the cultivators of the Inferno Prison Devil Clan from killing each other and wasting their strength, the Devil Emperor did not choose a one-on-one duel. Instead, he used a great magical power to allow the candidates to pass through the Inferno Prison Catacombs, and only the first two people to come out would be chosen.
In the end, An Xi Chen, a Severed Soul Stage cultivator under the command of the Third Princess, took the top spot. As for the other spot, it was taken by the Seventh Prince's guard.
As a result, the Fourth Prince's faction had no choice but to gradually retract their strength and watch over the authority they already had. At this point, they could only protect themselves.
More than 20 years later, Yi Tian, who was in seclusion in the cave mansion, carefully looked at the communication jade slip in front of him. He had a comprehensive understanding of what happened in the Inferno Prison Imperial Court.
Calculating the time, it was almost time for the trip to the Demon World's Abyss. Yi Tian put away the jade slip in his hand and happened to hear a voice from outside the main door, "Little friend Yi, it's almost time, we are ready to go." The person who spoke was the City Lord of Burning Prairie City, Yan Lei.
After listening, Yi Tian packed up the things around him, then slowly stood up from the ground, stretched his legs, and walked toward the cave mansion's door.
After opening the restriction enchantment, he found a dragon tooth warship was anchored above the cave mansion. He jumped up lightly and then gently landed on the deck of the dragon tooth warship.
There were already people waiting for him. After seeing Yi Tian's face, they hurriedly came forward and led him to the main cabin of the dragon tooth warship.
After entering, he saw Yan Lei sitting on the main seat. After waiting for him to enter, Yan Lei waved his hand and said, "Let's go, the destination is the thunderstorm zone at the edge of the Demon World's Abyss."
Afterward, he felt the dragon tooth warship was moving. After carefully looking at the scenery outside the window, he found the warship was gradually accelerating away from Burning Prairie City.
After walking up, Yi Tian bowed to Yan Lei and said, "Greetings to the City Lord."
He saw Yan Lei looking at him and wherever his gaze landed, Yi Tian felt a burst of panic. It was as if he was using a secret technique to spy on him. The seal in his Niwan Palace suddenly flashed with lightning. After using the purple lightning to help the Yuanying, Yi Tian felt his mind calm down and Yan Lei's gaze could no longer make him feel uncomfortable.
After three breaths, Yan Lei pointed to the seat beside him and said, "Little friend Yi, please sit."
Following the direction he pointed, Yi Tian slowly walked forward and sat down. Then, he asked, "How many people are going to the Abyss Demon World this time?"
"The situation has changed slightly," Yan Lei said seriously, "In the past, we decided the number of people going based on the number of Body Integration cultivators from each clan. However, in the past thousand years, another Body Integration cultivator has appeared in the Ice Demon Clan. This will definitely squeeze out one spot."
"Oh, then I wonder what the consequences will be?" Yi Tian asked, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Originally, each clan leader has two spots, and the other Body Integration cultivators have one spot. For example, my Inferno Hell Demon Clan has always occupied three spots, and the Sky Demon Clan has four, "Yan Lei explained.
"I know about this too. The other clans only have one Body Integration cultivator, so they occupy a total of ten spots. Now that the Ice Demon Clan has one more person, the other forces will definitely have scruples," Yi Tian said.
"Indeed, the seven clans and the Demon Saint's disciple have always had a total of eighteen spots. Now that one more person is added, it won't be a big problem. However, I'm afraid that this time, there will be more trouble before we go in, "Yan Lei said worriedly.
Since he had put it this way, Yi Tian naturally understood the meaning behind his words. Perhaps there would be some changes to the quota before entering the Abyss of the Demon Realm.
However, with his strength, he was naturally not afraid. After thinking about it, he said calmly, "City Lord, you don't have to worry about this. It's nothing more than a matter of blocking soldiers with arms and water with an earth weir. At most, the other clans will join forces to pressure them and fight at the entrance. My principle is that if people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If they provoke me, I'll just go in and deal with the cultivators of those clans. "
Yan Lei smiled when he heard this. He stroked his beard and said, "Alright, since you're so confident, I won't worry too much. However, I still have to thank you for giving my son, Li Feng, a good idea. "
Hearing this, Yi Tian's expression changed. He knew that he couldn't hide this from Yan Lei. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "That's because the Second Prince has his own ideas. I'm just going with the flow to do him a favor. I hope City Lord won't take offense. "
