Yi Tian wasn't arrogant enough to think that he could deal with Zai Fu, Di, and Di at the same time. In terms of strength, both of them had experience in the Body Integration Stage, so they were naturally more powerful than ordinary Severed Soul Stage cultivators.
Fortunately, their main target was Grand Prince Wei's clone. Although it was a sneak attack, it wouldn't be a simple one. Although Luo Ziyan was quite prejudiced against Grand Prince Wei and wanted to take advantage of the situation, Yi Tian knew that the best way to deal with them was to join forces with Grand Prince Wei to deal with them.
However, it was very troublesome to work together. If he were to inform Grand Prince Wei in advance and let him be on guard, his importance would be greatly reduced. As such, it would be best to wait until the battle was over. At that time, Grand Prince Wei would be able to suppress his opponents with his help. That would be a timely assistance.
Even if Grand Prince Wei's true body were to return, he would owe him a favor. This was the best outcome Yi Tian wanted.
After the two discussed in the Floating Immortal Restaurant, they parted ways. After returning to his temporary residence in Viscount Hongshan's residence, Yi Tian took out the identity medallion he had been given to look at. Written on it was the title of the Deputy Chief of the Imperial Guards. It seemed that Luo Ziyan had already made arrangements for her identity.
With this identity medallion, he would be able to easily sneak into the imperial capital of Asura. Yi Tian pondered for a moment and wondered what kind of excuse Zai Fu and Di would use to go to the imperial capital.
Normally, Asura nobles who hadn't been summoned weren't allowed to go to the imperial capital, let alone bring someone with them.
With Zai Fu's intelligence, he definitely wouldn't be foolish enough to barge into the imperial capital. After thinking it over, Yi Tian said, "Imperial Court."
In addition, he had to increase the price for Zai Fu and Di to complete the Realm Crossing Altar as soon as possible. After thinking about it, he took out a communication jade talisman and wrote a message on it before activating it and sending it out. Soon after, a smile appeared on his face and he sat down cross-legged in his residence to wait.
Ten days later, the Asura Dynasty sent servants to the various noble cultivators' residences to summon them. This could be considered the first imperial court after the army set off. As such, the cultivators in charge of the various departments in the imperial capital received the summons.
Apart from Hao Ren, who was in charge of the city defense and couldn't come, all the other nobles would participate.
Although Yi Tian had received the notice, this time was different from the usual. He could only use his identity as the Deputy Chief of the Imperial Bodyguards to go.
Furthermore, he had no interest in going to Chong Zheng Hall to listen to Luo Ziyan's instructions. If he rashly went there, he would definitely alert Zai Fu and Reverend Di Long.
After thinking it over, he decided to rush to Asura Imperial City ahead of time. After showing his identity token, he directly entered the Imperial Bodyguard Chief Residence.
The general manager here is actually a female official. Her cultivation is at the early stage of the Spirit Severing stage. There is a murderous aura on her body. Obviously, she is also used to killing people. He didn't expect her to be shocked when she saw the identity token he took out. She then shielded herself before walking forward and saying, "Servant Xinyun greets Milord."
From the looks of it, Luo Ziyan had told her all of her plans. Yi Tian nodded and sent a sound transmission, "How do you plan to lure the monarch into the trap after this Imperial Court Meeting?"
"Her Majesty will decree to go to the tenth floor of the 'Heavenly Path' to cultivate in seclusion. She will leave this place to Prince Wei to manage," Xinyun replied.
"Cultivate in seclusion? Most likely, she will come back halfway, "Yi Tian said.
Xinyun's expression became a little unnatural when she heard this. She then replied, "Milord is right. How should we cooperate next?"
Yi Tian thought for a moment and said, "I want the defensive layout of the imperial palace. Also, let the bedchamber be prepared."
"Do you need our help?" Xinyun hurriedly asked.
"Evacuate the attendants in the imperial palace and guard all the entrances. Pull away all the guards between Prince Wei's temporary residence and the empress's bedchamber. You won't be able to help in a fight of this level. It's better to avoid it as much as possible," Yi Tian instructed.
Hearing this, Xinyun could only nod her head helplessly. Although she was a genuine commander, Luo Ziyan had repeatedly instructed her to listen to the command. Thus, she didn't dare to have any intention of disobeying her orders.
Soon after, he took out a jade slip map and handed it over. Yi Tian took it and inspected the details of the map. He didn't expect that Prince Wei's clone's Ci 'an Palace was not far from Luo Ziyan's bedchamber. It just so happened that it was located in the middle of Chongzheng Hall.
This way, Luo Ziyan's every move would naturally be seen by Prince Wei. However, Luo Ziyan would probably leave the palace and head to the tenth floor of the 'Heavenly Path' after the Imperial Court Meeting. She would leave this ownerless imperial palace to be tormented by her father.
With a plan in mind, Yi Tian put away the jade slip map in his hand and instructed, "After the Imperial Court Meeting begins, I will stay here. Pull away all the people around so that it'll be easier for me to do what I want."
"This servant understands. What other instructions do you have, Milord?" Xinyun replied.
"How many people usually stay at Ci 'an Palace?" Yi Tian asked.
"Prince Wei is naturally afraid of noise, so he's pulled away all the guards around him. At most, there will only be two guards from his residence guarding the front door," Xinyun said.
"How strong are those two?" Yi Tian asked.
"They're only at the Late Deity Transformation Stage. They should be Prince Wei's guards," Xinyun replied.
"Alright, I understand. You can leave now," Yi Tian instructed. "I will be resting here for a while. Aside from the Empress, no one else is allowed to disturb me."
Xinyun nodded and said, "Don't worry, Milord." After saying that, she slowly left the room.
After she left, Yi Tian raised his hand and opened the restriction barrier. Then, he patted the beast pouch at his waist and summoned Great Immortal Kua Quack.
The red light landed on the ground. After it appeared, Yi Tian asked, "Last time in the Count's residence at the Silver Moon Lake, did you detect the true identity of Spiritual Master Di Long on the altar?"
Speaking of this, Great Immortal Kua Quack shuddered and replied, "It must be a snake-type Level Nine monster beast, and it's very powerful."
"Don't worry, his true body won't come to this world. It's just a doppelgänger," Yi Tian comforted.
"The doppelgänger also has the strength of a mid-tier Level Eight monster. It's not much weaker than you, Master," Great Immortal Kua Quack replied.
"I'm not afraid of Zai Fu, but this Spiritual Master Di Long is troublesome. If I kill his doppelgänger here, it will definitely be noticed by his true body. At that time, he will be the first to discover me when I sneak into the Demon Realm," Yi Tian said.
"If you want to cut off the connection, you have to kill him in the Virtual Space. Finally, you have to destroy his soul there," Great Immortal Kua Quack replied.
"Then won't the true body still know that the doppelgänger has been killed?" Yi Tian persistently asked.
"That's true, but it won't be able to cross over to know who killed him. As long as you make a clever arrangement and don't let the Blood Contract touch you, they won't be able to trace it back to you," Great Immortal Kua Quack explained.
