Naturally, such a huge change in the Asura Realm could not be hidden from the foreign forces in the imperial capital. Many people with connections found out about it through the grapevine.
Some of the foreign races who were on good terms with the Asura nobles also learned about the secret. Not long after, all the foreign cultivators in the imperial capital began to become restless.
Many of them were vassals of the Asura Dynasty, so they naturally had to contribute. They did not have the opportunity in the past, so they naturally had to seize it.
However, there were also many foreign opportunists who wanted to take advantage of the situation and use this opportunity to spy on the secrets of the Asura Tribe. As the imperial capital began to be under martial law, teams of imperial guards were sent out to patrol the streets.
The Heavenly Path, which was originally open to the public, was also temporarily closed. Only the passage on the Asura Tribe's side was still open, and the cultivation path for their own cultivators was still open.
On the other hand, cultivators of other races were strictly restricted to a few areas. Anyone who crossed the line would definitely be investigated by the city guards.
Under such a strict environment, there were still many foreign cultivators who tried to break the rules, but without exception, they were all caught by the city defense and thrown into the prison. As a result, the security of the entire imperial capital was on the right track.
At this moment, Yi Tian was still in the imperial capital with the title of Viscount Hongshan. Ever since he enlightened Luo Ziyan in the imperial palace, he was told that the Asura Tribe's army had been frequently mobilized recently. Once Yun Lin took action, he would have to stay in the imperial capital to help Luo Ziyan suppress the foreign forces.
In the current situation, this was understandable. Now, all the Severed Soul Stage cultivators in the imperial capital who could take action were leading their troops outside. Only Yun Lin's people were still here to support the operations of the Asura Dynasty.
Once the war between the barbarians and the barbarians entered the final battle, Yun Lin would definitely be summoned to fight. This was also the plan that had been set before. Now, the Wei Prince had personally taken action, leading the Asura Tribe's army to encircle and suppress the northern barbarians.
These Severed Soul Stage nobles who were originally sent out had the opportunity to lead an army to fight together. Although they were all under the control of the Wei Prince's army, the rise of the noble forces was unstoppable.
This war lasted for more than half a year. There were continuous reports of victory coming from the frontline. The army had divided into different routes to attack the cities and gradually encroached on the territory controlled by the barbarians. During this period, officials from the imperial court often came to visit Viscount Hongshan's residence. Yi Tian obtained first-hand information about the war from them. But looking at these reports of success, he couldn't feel happy no matter what.
The war between the Barbarians and the Barbarians had progressed to this point, but the shadow of the Barbarian Tribe's Patriarch was still nowhere to be found. The principle of capturing the leader of the bandits was well known to all. On the surface, this person appeared to be at the peak of the Severed Soul Stage, but in reality, his cultivation base had already reached the early Body Integration Stage.
Such a person was truly a thorn in the Asura Dynasty's flesh. If he were to escape, it would definitely cause a huge amount of trouble. Therefore, Dynasty was secretly lax on the outside but cautious on the inside. All the commanders who were involved in the deployment of the troops had been informed of the severity of the problem during the internal meeting.
The soldiers dispatched to the barbarian tribes were very targeted and chased away from the depths of the Northern Frontier.
Thinking about it, Yun Lin would make a move sooner or later. Yi Tian didn't know whether this was true or not, but he was secretly sizing up the Asura Tribe's land of the fire source. Originally, it was easy for Yun Lin to ask for his help. In addition, she had invested in the Crown Prince and the imperial guards' Lang Jiang. Naturally, she would be like a fish in water during the tripartite trial.
But now that the situation had suddenly changed, he didn't expect the Wei Prince and Yun Lin to reach a tacit understanding to temporarily put aside their prejudices and deal with the threat of the barbarians together. Speaking of which, it was ridiculous that he had inadvertently broken the great situation that he had single-handedly created.
At this point, Yi Tian had a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart. If the war of pacifying the barbarians ended smoothly, these three forces might reunite. At that time, Yun Lin naturally wouldn't need his assistance. Then, the training in the Land of the Fire Source would become nothing but a bubble.
However, he didn't have any good ideas for the time being. His only chance now was to sneak into Luo Ziyan's palace and directly enter the land of the fire source while Yun Lin wasn't in the Imperial Capital. If he did that, he would be going against Yun Lin and the others. Moreover, he didn't know if Luo Ziyan would have any objections to his actions.
Just as he was thinking, the steward of Viscount Hongshan's residence suddenly came to report that someone from the imperial court was waiting for him in the main hall. Although the imperial court didn't send people to deliver court reports during this period, most of them would leave after delivering them. Very few people would stay in the residence to see him.
Then, he followed the steward to the main hall and saw that it was Imperial Censor Mei Baiji. Needless to say, it was definitely important. After instructing the steward to leave, Yi Tian raised his hand and opened the soundproof barrier. He then walked up and asked, "Why are you here? Did something happen in the imperial court?"
Mei Baiji stood up and cupped his hands. "Let's sit down and talk."
After hearing this, Yi Tian slowly sat down in front of him. He then asked, "I haven't seen you for a while. May I know why you're here?"
Mi Baiji took out a jade slip and handed it over, saying, "This is what Supremacy Cloud instructed me to personally hand over to you before he set out on his journey."
After receiving it, Yi Tian opened the jade slip and read it carefully. It turned out that Yun Lin had already moved out. The Asura Tribe's army had already locked onto the tracks of the Barbarian Tribe's chieftain, Zai Fu, and Di Di. Now that the army was besieging them, Prince Wei had also sent her a jade slip to ask for her help.
As the only Body Integration cultivator in the imperial court who could mobilize freely, Yun Lin naturally didn't hesitate. However, she had the heavy responsibility of overseeing the imperial capital and protecting the imperial city. At this time, she naturally had to make proper arrangements for the rear.
The jade slip briefly explained Yun Lin's arrangements. During her absence, the imperial court would continue to operate normally. Hao Ren and the others who stayed behind could temporarily intimidate the various foreign factions in the imperial capital.
In the end, she asked Mei Baiji to find time to help guard the imperial city. As of now, she was the strongest person in the entire Asura Dynasty. She hoped that she could help Hao Ren monitor the foreign cultivators. After all, these people were the most unstable factors.
After reading this, Yi Tian thought for a moment before replying, "Alright, I'll keep this in mind. How is Hao Ren going to deal with the current situation? "
"Physician Hao is already overseeing the imperial capital's security department. He's also sent many people to control the foreign territories," Mei Baiji said.
"This is all standard practice," Yi Tian said disdainfully. "If they encounter some rascals, it's useless no matter how strict the defenses are."
"Then what should the correct method be?" Mei Baiji asked.
"Lure the snake out of its hole and directly cut off the unstable factors," Yi Tian replied.
