A month later, when one of the three full moons appeared, a golden light spot appeared on a certain node of the seal of the Beast King's Cave in the Demon Realm. The light spot became bigger and bigger and spread out until it reached two feet in size before it stopped.
Then it shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. The whole process lasted for less than ten breaths of time. A streak of azure light shot out from within the barrier and landed on the outskirts of the barrier. After the green light retreated, the figure that appeared was Yi Tian, who was trapped inside. He turned around and looked at the seal. Yi Tian released a green spirit force and made a mark on the spot where he escaped.
He spent most of his time this month in the private library of Yuanhao Emperor in the library. However, he really gained something. He found a few jade slips about his research. There was also a chronicle of the Demon Realm that caught his attention. This chronicle recorded the changes of the Demon Realm before the Yuanhao Dynasty. It belonged to the ancient era.
Then Yi Tian spent a few more days writing a restriction breaking talisman with golden seal text. After estimating the time, he went to the seal to find a node exit that could be used.
After arriving in the outside world, Yi Tian took a moment to organize himself before locking onto the direction of Phoenix Cry City. Then, he flew straight there. Thinking about how he had been trapped in the seal for a hundred years, he didn't tell Qing Lianyun that he was coming. She must be worried.
It took less than three days to arrive at Fengming City. However, when Yi Tian returned to the city, he found that there was almost no change from a hundred years ago. After walking on the street for a while, he deliberately paid attention and found that the shopkeepers of many shops were still the same as they were a hundred years ago.
After returning to his temporary residence, he scanned with his divine will and found that Qing Lianyun didn't seem to be at home. Only Cui Fuling stayed behind. After entering the main hall, Yi Tian revealed his original appearance and released a bit of spirit pressure to inform Cui Fuling in the back room.
After a while, a green figure hurriedly walked out from the back corridor. After seeing him, she bowed and said, "Senior brother is back."
"Junior Sister Apprentice Cui, you don't have to do this. You and I are both cultivators. We can skip these mortal etiquette." Yi Tian waved his hand and replied.
Hearing this, Cui Fuling walked to the side and sat down casually. Then she said, "Senior sister apprentice received the order from the sect to be responsible for escorting supplies to the fire phoenix tribe. Senior brother, you came back at the wrong time. You were seven days late."
"I know. I will go find Lianyun later." Yi Tian cleared his throat and asked, "How long did I go out this time?"
Cui Fuling looked at him in surprise and said, "Not long, only less than two years. How come you don't even remember the time?"
"Less than two years." Yi Tian's expression didn't change, but he was secretly surprised. After thinking for a while, he said, "I know where the problem is. It turns out that the space in Hundred Flowers Stream has such a magical use. It seems that Emperor Yuanhao used his great power to set up a cultivation space in order to accelerate the ripening of spiritual plants."
"What 'Hundred Flowers Stream'? Senior brother didn't go out behind our backs right?" Cui Fuling questioned.
"The process is really a secret of the Demon Realm." Yi Tian smiled slightly and said, "I will tell you the situation here, but don't leak it out. Otherwise, it won't be a good thing for all the spirit cultivators."
Seeing her expression was solemn, Cui Fuling also realized the seriousness of the situation and nodded in response. In this way, Yi Tian explained his interaction with Yan Peigong and the situation he encountered in the Beast King's Cave one by one. He only skipped the matter of him fighting with the qilin son Guo Rui. This involved the promise between him and Guo Rui. If the demon cultivators found out, they might look at him in a new light.
Cui Fuling's face was full of disbelief. After Yi Tian finished, she hurriedly said, "I see. No wonder I heard that the three major clans of the Demon Realm contacted the Nine Immortal Mountain and issued a wanted order last year. The first two on the wanted order are the Nine-Headed Bug Yan Peigong and the qilin son Guo Rui." After saying that, she took out a jade slip and handed it over.
After receiving the jade slip, Yi Tian opened it in his palm and glanced at it. He found that it was a copy of the wanted list in the Demon Realm. At the end of the wanted order, there were the imprints of the three clan leaders and the Nine Immortal Mountain. It seemed that these four clans were determined to eradicate this matter completely.
After putting away the jade slip and returning it, Yi Tian asked, "How did the Nine Immortal Mountain find out which experts were chasing and intercepting Yan Peigong and the others?"
Cui Fuling thought for a while and replied, "First, the leader of the Green Phoenix Clan, the Nine Immortal Mountain's Spiritual Master Wu Lian, and the Fire Dragon Clan's Yi Lun, the three level nine demon cultivators jointly led a team to clear out the Demon City. Speaking of which, this was two years ago. In less than two days, the forces left behind by Yan Peigong in the Demon City were uprooted. "
"With three level nine demon cultivators leading the team, even Yan Peigong couldn't get any advantage over there." Yi Tian curled his lips and said, "I think the three of them just took care of some insignificant characters in the end. As for Yan Peigong, no one knows where he went."
"That's true. However, the three seniors still gained quite a lot. They found Yan Peigong's nest under the Demon City and dug out several unhatched nine-headed insect eggs. Other than leaving one as evidence, the rest were destroyed on the spot."
Yi Tian shook his head and said, "This is slightly inappropriate. Although we can't use these nine-headed insect eggs to threaten Yan Peigong, destroying them like this will definitely incite his crazy revenge."
"Isn't that so? In the following year, I heard that some small clans living in remote areas were wiped out overnight. This caused a huge uproar in the Demon Realm. Even the Nine Immortal Mountain's Sect Master personally came out to ask about this matter. "Cui Fuling continued.
"That's for sure. Those small demon clans were originally involved in this storm for no reason. The instigator was Wu Lian and the others. They didn't handle things properly. Using force like this will definitely incite Yan Peigong's revenge. "Yi Tian said in a deep voice.
"Isn't that so. However, there are still rumors in the Demon Realm that Yan Peigong schemed to lure the Young Clan Leader of the Fire Dragon Clan, Yi Shun, to attend a banquet in the Demon City. Then, he secretly ambushed him and caused Yi Shun's death in the end. Therefore, the seniors of the Fire Dragon Clan who participated in this operation naturally hated these nine-headed insects to the core. Moreover, the hunting team formed by the Demon Realm this time has the Ancestor of the Fire Dragon Clan, Huo Lian, in charge. The others naturally didn't dare to have any objections. "Cui Fuling explained.
"I see. Since it's Huo Lian, everyone has to give him some face." Yi Tian said helplessly, "It seems that the Nine Immortal Mountain's Sect Master has no choice but to come out of seclusion to preside over this matter. Only he can keep Huo Lian in check. Hopefully, this calamity in the Demon Realm can be quelled soon."
"I don't think it will be very soon." Cui Fuling said, "This time, Senior Sister is in charge of escorting the sect's goods to the Fire Phoenix Clan to prepare for war. Moreover, I heard that all the foreign clan's businesses in the Demon Realm have started to move. After receiving the notice from the Demon Realm, they started to be more lenient and strict. On the surface, it seems very normal, but in fact, martial law has already been imposed secretly."
