Yi Tian finally saw the rest of the group in the depths of the Supreme Serene Steep Mountain. Meng Luan, who was leading the group, looked aggressive and had an ugly expression on her face. They must have realized that they had been tricked and would naturally blame the Nine Immortal Mountain for this. Seeing that he had not been tricked, they naturally considered him as one of the Nine Immortal Mountain's accomplices.
Fortunately, there was still Xuan Jizi and the others on the side to mediate, so they did not cause any trouble. However, when Yi Tian saw the indignant expressions on the faces of these Demon Venerables, he knew that if this matter was not handled properly, Nine Immortal Mountain would definitely fall into a state of isolation.
Xuan Jizi happened to change the topic, so he had to give the Nine Immortal Mountain a way out.
"Daoist Qing Xin is currently chasing after Yan Peigong. Daoist Yi Shun is following her." Yi Tian said calmly, "Senior Fire Chain and Ceng Shun are chasing after Emperor Yuanhao's remnant soul into the depths of the Supreme Serene Steep Mountain. I'm here to discuss how to deal with Yan Peigong."
"Emperor Yuanhao's remnant soul true body?" Xuan Jizi was shocked. "What's going on?"
The Demon Venerables' expressions changed slightly. If it was just Yan Peigong, it would be fine. However, since it involved Emperor Yuanhao's remnant soul true body, he was the public enemy of the entire Demon Race. They knew that it was not the time to find out who was responsible. It was better to understand the current situation before making a decision.
As such, Yi Tian didn't beat around the bush and gave a brief account of his fight with Yan Peigong. He also described the situation of the Vast Origin Emperor's remnant soul clone.
After he finished speaking, everyone's face sank. Everyone's expression became extremely ugly. Even Meng Luan was frowning at this time. She couldn't say a word for a long time.
Xuan Jizi asked, "Where is the Sect Master now? How should we deal with this?"
"First of all, we have to deal with Yan Peigong. He has a command flag that is the key to restraining Emperor Vast Origin's true body," Yi Tian said in a deep voice. "According to Daoist Qing Xin's plan, Senior Fire Chain will temporarily hold back Emperor Vast Origin's true body while she and Daoist Yi Shun will chase after Yan Peigong. After that, we'll set up an encirclement to reduce Yan Peigong's range of movement and capture him."
As soon as he said that, the Demon Venerables present looked a little better, especially Meng Luan, who blushed after hearing about Yi Tian's situation. Then, she looked at Yi Tian and did not say anything more.
Xuan Jizi said, "In that case, let's move quickly. I'll contact Senior Apprentice Brother and see what he has planned." Then, he took out his messaging jade talisman, wrote a message, and sent it out.
Meng Luan suddenly said, "Let's not idle around. Since Fellow Daoist Yi is waiting for us here, please lead the way. The sooner we meet up with Fellow Daoist Qing Xin, the higher our chances of success."
The corner of Yi Tian's mouth twitched, and he did not refuse. He simply said, "Follow me." Spirit light flashed around him and he took the lead.
Xuan Jizi followed closely behind. He looked worried and was not as optimistic as the others. Ignoring the others, Xuan Jizi flew until he was fifty feet away. He lowered his head and asked, "Is Brother Yi's situation worse than expected?"
Yi Tian sighed and replied, "It's more or less the case. It's just that Yan Peigong poured a large amount of Demonic Qi and Underworld Qi into Emperor Vast's true body. I didn't expect him to be unable to completely control Emperor Vast's true body. We were five against two, yet they were still able to easily escape. How good do you think the situation is? "
Hearing this, Xuan Jizi's expression became uncertain. He sighed and asked, "This time, Senior Martial Brother has angered everyone. Although those beastkin patriarchs didn't say it on the surface, it's because they are facing a powerful enemy. Once this matter is over, we will have to give them an explanation. "
"Isn't that so? Fellow Daoist Qing Xin also said so. After this matter is over, he will come forward to clarify this matter to avoid negatively affecting the sect. Once this matter is over, he will step down from his position as Sect Master and take responsibility for this matter, "Yi Tian said.
Xuan Jizi anxiously said, "Absolutely not. If Senior Martial Brother doesn't oversee Nine Immortal Mountain, how can we deter the beastkin races?"
"There is no need to belittle yourself, Fellow Daoist Xuan Jizi. In my opinion, your abilities are not inferior to Fellow Daoist Qing Xin's at all. All you lack is an opportunity." Yi Tian said with a meaningful smile, "Furthermore, Fellow Daoist Qing Xin told me that he will pass on his position to you. In the future, you will continue to lead Nine Immortal Mountain.
Xuan Jizi's expression changed upon hearing this, and he was speechless for a long time. A trace of tears flashed through his eyes, and he replied, "I understand Senior Martial Brother's intentions. Let's talk about this again after we have dealt with Yan Peigong's rebellion."
Just as he said this, a streak of spiritual light flew directly toward Xuan Jizi. When it came close, he discovered that it was the communication jade talisman that he had sent out earlier.
Yi Tian, who was leading the group, immediately stopped and greeted the people behind him. Xuan Jizi took the communication jade talisman and quickly read through it. Not long after, his expression became unsightly.
It seemed that the situation had changed. Yi Tian hurriedly asked, "How is it? Did Fellow Daoist Qing Xin lose track of him?"
"You can say yes and no." Xuan Jizi sighed.
"What do you mean?" Meng Luan flew up and questioned.
Xuan Jizi took out a jade slip map and opened it in his hand. He then said, "Yan Peigong is so daring. He returned to Thousand Demon City under Senior Martial Brother's pursuit."
"How could this be? Isn't he walking right into a trap?" Meng Luan asked in surprise.
"He isn't walking right into a trap. He is using this opportunity to blackmail us." Yi Tian shook his head and said, "Yan Peigong knows that he will eventually be caught, so he simply cut off all means of retreat and sneaked back to Thousand Demon City. This is the nest that he has painstakingly built for thousands of years. There must be some places that have not been explored. "
"Fellow Daoist Yi is right." Xuan Jizi put away the jade slip map in his hand and said, "Senior Martial Brother also thinks the same. Yan Peigong is using all the cultivators in Myriad Demon City as a bargaining chip to deal with us. Senior Martial Brother has already set up a warning formation three hundred miles outside the city. If he wants to slip away, he will definitely be discovered. "
"Then what is his motive?" Meng Luan asked.
"The true body of the Vast Origin Emperor's remnant soul," Yi Tian said decisively. "It looks like this is the only chance we have right now. Yan Peigong still has the Soul Controlling Flag in his hands. He will definitely use it to affect the actions of the Vast Origin Emperor's remnant soul."
"Didn't you say that Vast Origin Emperor's remnant soul true body can break free from Yan Peigong's control?" Meng Luan said disdainfully.
"That is most of the time. In addition, Yan Peigong is restrained by Fellow Daoist Qing Xin, so he can break free. However, once Yan Peigong calms down and makes a move again, he will definitely have a way to deal with it. At that time, as long as we can control Emperor Yuanhao's true body, we will be able to break out of the encirclement for a short while, "Yi Tian said earnestly.
