Yi Tian knew that this escort mission wouldn't be as simple as he thought. He didn't expect to encounter trouble before even entering the imperial capital.
After pondering for a moment, he decided to first probe the other party's strength before coming to a conclusion. After all, Luo Xiao had said that the other party had opened up two paths and did not forcibly block his path.
Yi Tian turned and asked, "Whose territory is the Fengling County? How strong is the County Lord?"
Luo Xiao's face twitched. She looked like she wanted to say something but stopped herself. However, when she saw Yi Tian's gaze, she mustered up her courage and said, "This is Princess Luo Qingcheng's territory. Because she is the Empress's cousin, she was sealed near the Imperial City."
"How strong is she? I noticed that the cultivators blocking our path are only at the Spirit Severing stage. Could it be that they dare to attack a Spirit Severing stage cultivator? "Yi Tian said disdainfully.
"County Lord Fengling is only at the late stage of Spirit Severing stage, but her guard is at the mid stage of Spirit Severing stage. It is said that he has already passed the ninth floor of the Heavenly Path. In the future, he will definitely become a Body Integration Stage cultivator. Elder Yi, do you think we should give him some face? "Luo Xiao said with a difficult expression. It seemed that she knew a little about his temper and knew the other party's actual situation, so she made such a suggestion. Clearly, she did not want to cause more trouble.
"What is the guard's name? Who is stronger than Luo Yao? "Yi Tian asked coldly.
"County Lord Fengling's guard is called Shui Cangyue. He is on par with Vice General Luo Yao. Could it be that Elder Yi wants to fight him?" Luo Xiao sighed.
Hearing that Shui Cangyue was on par with Luo Yao, Yi Tian's face showed some disappointment. Then he said, "I'm just asking. I'm not bored enough to find people to fight. Those are things that you young people like to play with. I'm not interested."
"Then how do we deal with the cultivators blocking our path?" Luo Xiao asked.
"Reveal our identities and banners. This is Luo Ziyan's secret order scroll. Reveal the seal inside and say that we're following orders. Let's see if they dare to stop us." After saying that, Yi Tian took out a jade slip and handed it over.
This was a genuine imperial order. Although there were restrictions on the jade slip, Luo Ziyan's seal and the imperial family's mark could be seen on it.
Luo Xiao took it and looked at it. He made up his mind and then let Luo Jinzhong drive the warship. He hurriedly flew out of the warship to negotiate with the guards under Princess Feng Ling.
Inside the main control cabin, the Asura Sect's people didn't even dare to breathe. They lowered their heads. As for Luo Jinzhong, after looking at him with a look of admiration, he focused on steering the warship forward at full speed.
As for Yi Tian, he was sitting on the main seat in the cabin. He saw everyone's performance, but he was laughing in his heart.
That jade slip was completely forged by him. As he was in a hurry, he didn't even write a single Chinese word on it. To put it bluntly, it was just a blank jade slip. He had only imitated Luo Ziyan's handwriting on the seal and made a mark of the royal family.
Fortunately, he had seen Luo Ziyan's handwriting before, so he was able to imitate 80% to 90% of it. In order to avoid being exposed, he also carved the mark on his forehead on it. But after he finished, he found that the mark on his body and Luo Ziyan's mark could be combined to form a complete body.
After a while, the warship flew at full speed and directly flew over the Fengling County's guards. However, the cultivators below remained surprisingly silent. The spread out formation slowly shrank. They were probably shocked by Luo Xiao's negotiation.
Ten breaths later, a streak of light flew over from below and landed on the deck. When the door was opened, Luo Xiao walked in with an overbearing expression. He was holding the Empress's edict in his hand.
After returning the jade slip, Luo Xiao said respectfully, "Elder Yi is really powerful. After those guards saw Her Majesty's edict, they didn't dare to ask about anything else."
"It was expected." After taking the jade slip, Yi Tian curled his lips and said, "Full speed ahead. Don't stay here too long to avoid trouble."
Luo Xiao took Luo Jinzhong's place and flew the warship at full speed towards the Imperial Capital.
However, when Yi Tian sat in the host's seat, he suddenly felt his eyelids twitching. He thought to himself, Could it be that trouble has appeared again? Never mind, I'll just deal with whatever comes my way.
Just like this, the warship flew through the Fengling County without any problems. Half a day later, Yi Tian suddenly sensed someone rushing over from the right.
The other party wasn't flying a warship, but a small flying vehicle. However, the speed of that vehicle was incomparably fast. Perhaps he would only be able to keep up with it if he used his escape technique to fly at full speed.
Needless to say, the only cultivator with such a treasure was the Fengling County Princess. If she came, her guards would definitely be accompanying her.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian sighed and said, "Bad luck, it's really troublesome to keep pestering me."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. Luo Xiao asked tentatively, "Is Elder Yi in trouble?"
Yi Tian nodded and replied, "Don't worry about it, we'll maintain our original route. If they catch up, don't panic, I'll personally deal with them."
Only then did everyone present feel reassured, and their expressions eased up a lot.
Speaking of which, he could have Luo Xiao act to fool the Fengling County guards, but he couldn't fool Luo Qingcheng and Shui Cangyue. Thinking that he would have to personally deal with them, Yi Tian took out the fake Empress Edict and played with it. He began to think of a way to deal with them.
Soon, the other party locked onto the Asura Sect's warship. Although they were three to four thousand kilometers away, it was only a matter of time before they caught up.
Yi Tian was certain that Shui Cangyue's range had reached the limit of a mid stage Spirit Severing cultivator. No wonder she could reach the ninth floor. It was a pity that he had a bargaining chip in his hand. Even if she wanted to flip out, she wouldn't be able to find an excuse.
However, since the other party had already discovered his whereabouts, if he continued to flee, it would arouse their suspicion. Yi Tian said, "Luo Xiao, stop the warship in the air and show the flag. I'll go out and meet this Fengling County Princess."
"Elder Yi, don't become enemies with her. Peace is the most important thing. It's best if we don't provoke her. Otherwise, she might secretly cause trouble for us in the capital. "Luo Xiao said with a worried expression.
