Yi Tian and Xiong Erbao followed Mo Dun's guidance and easily found the location where Yan Qiu had set up the ambush against Ji Xuanyuan. Just as he had planned, Yan Qiu wouldn't be able to form an overwhelming joint attack against Ji Xuanyuan after the old abyssal demon was taken care of.
The Qilin Race's leader, Guo Linsheng, was wary of the sensitive nature of his identity and wouldn't easily get involved in this matter. They were cultivators from the lower three realms who had ambushed the clone of the Lifire Palace's Sect Master. If something happened, they could just leave. However, the Qilin Race's foundation was in the Demon Realm, so Guo Linsheng was only aware of the situation.
Since they had found the location of the battle, Yi Tian and Xiong Erbao weren't in a hurry to go over. Body Integration cultivators could cover a distance of 5,000 kilometers in an instant. However, Yi Tian and Xiong Erbao deliberately slowed down as if they were waiting for the other party's reaction. They didn't hold back in the slightest in their spiritual pressure fluctuations.
It wasn't difficult for Ji Xuanyuan and Yan Qiu to sense from the spiritual pressure that two Body Integration cultivators were passing by, and they just so happened to notice the battle. Both sides involuntarily stopped and went on high alert.
As for Yi Tian and Xiong Erbao, they maintained the speed of a Deity Transformation cultivator as if they were taking a stroll on the street. The entire journey took them nearly an hour to arrive within fifty kilometers.
Such a test of one's temperament naturally angered Yan Qiu, but when he identified the person's identity from the fluctuation of spiritual pressure, a helpless expression appeared on his face. He had suffered defeat at his hands time and time again, and he and Guo Linsheng had deserted him in the Jade Scale Silkworm Cave for no reason.
After that, Sheng Zhuangxiong naturally wouldn't let him go after returning to Myriad Demon City. When he saw fellow Daoists, he would make fun of Yan Qiu. As such, Yan Qiu's reputation among the Body Integration cultivators in Myriad Demon City was quite bad.
Yan Qiu's reputation had frightened many Body Integration cultivators into keeping a respectful distance from him, so he had no choice but to do this on his own. Therefore, he hated the two fiends that were about to arrive, but there was nothing he could do.
With a wave of his hand, Yan Qiu summoned Mo Dou back and placed it in the beast pouch at his waist. Speaking of which, Mo Dou's spiritual energy seemed to be in a mess after consuming the pills refined by the Poison Holy Hand. Although he had done a lot of remedial measures afterward, his strength seemed to have not recovered to its peak state. This made Yan Qiu very vexed, but he was unable to find the right solution to the problem.
On the other hand, after Ji Xuanyuan's doppelganger stopped attacking, he spread out his divine sense to check the identity of the newcomer. A playful smile appeared on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
A hundred feet long fire dragon swam around him for a while. After a flash of red light, it turned into a human-shaped beastkin cultivator and guarded Ji Xuanyuan. However, his forehead was slightly wrinkled. It was obvious that he had also sensed the identity of the person who had come.
After a while, two streaks of light slowly descended in front of the three of them. When the streaks of light faded away, the faces of Yi Tian and Xiong Erbao were revealed. Ji Xuanyuan cupped his hands and bowed to the two of them. "Junior Martial Brother Yi and Fellow Daoist Xiong Erbao happened to be passing by this place. Could it be that you're here to send me off?"
That was indeed the case. However, Yi Tian was not going to admit it. He wanted to see their true strength. After a brief examination, he discovered that the spiritual pressure fluctuations around Huo Lian's body were abruptly fluctuating. It seemed that he was still defending against his opponent.
As for Yan Qiu, his body was surrounded by blazing flames, and a murderous aura was unbridled. However, his aura was on par with Huo Lian's. From the spiritual pressure fluctuations around his body, it seemed that he had expended a lot of energy after a fierce battle.
On the other hand, although Ji Xuanyuan's doppelganger was only at the peak of the Soul Formation Late Stage, the fact that he was able to last until now was a testament to his strength. Of course, this was also related to the fact that Mo Dou's strength had been greatly weakened.
Yi Tian cupped his hands and said, "Senior Martial Brother Ji left without saying goodbye. He only sent people from his sect to pay a visit. Junior Martial Brother is the person in charge of the Taiqing Pavilion in the Myriad Demon City. Junior Martial Brother naturally knows some etiquette. I was busy with work and didn't attend the appointment. I hope Senior Martial Brother can forgive me. "
As he spoke, he used the name of the Taiqing Pavilion first. Otherwise, if they were all from the Lifire Palace, wouldn't Yan Qiu see them as a joke? Ji Xuanyuan also understood the meaning behind his words. His expression didn't change as he said, "Junior Martial Brother Yi is busy with work. It's not a big deal for you to forget about the appointment. Since Bufan has passed the item to you, I hope that you can properly protect the people of the Lifire Palace here. I believe that you are also responsible for this."
His words were reasonable and the meaning behind them was very obvious. The matters of the upper echelons of the Lifire Palace were one thing, but the people of the lower echelons still had to be protected. This was something that he couldn't shirk away from. Yi Tianyu helplessly nodded his head, "Since Senior Brother Ji entrusted this task to me and even sent someone to deliver the token, I, your junior brother, will naturally maintain the status quo. I won't allow the Lifire Palace to be humiliated in the demon world."
"Good, then I will thank Junior Martial Brother first." Ji Xuanyuan's expression relaxed as he replied, "Junior Martial Brother has been away from the sect for a long time, so you must remember to return to the ancestral land once. Don't forget about the matters of the sect because you are out playing."
These words were like a senior martial brother lecturing a junior martial brother. Even Xiong Erbao, who was at the side, had a disdainful expression when he heard this. However, Yi Tian understood that Ji Xuanyuan was someone who knew the inside story. His words seemed to be urging him to return to the Taiqing Pavilion as soon as possible, but in fact, he was hinting at the origin of the Lifire Palace.
Huo Lian, who was standing at the side, sized him up before saying, "Junior Martial Brother Yi's strength in the Taiqing Pavilion is not inferior to the Sect Master. In the future, there will definitely be a place for you in the 'Enlightenment Meeting' where the three sects of the Spirit Realm sit down and discuss the Dao."
Although he didn't know what the 'Enlightenment Meeting' was like, even Yan Qiu's expression changed slightly when he heard this. Such a change naturally couldn't be hidden from Yi Tian's Divine Sense, so he remembered this' Enlightenment Meeting 'in his heart.
Yi Tian turned his head and bowed to Huo Lian, "I didn't see Senior Martial Brother Huo Lian come to the Myriad Demon City Grand Meeting this time, but I also saw Senior Martial Brother's power during the battle in the Beast King's Cave. Why would you be stopped by this Yellow Spring Clan's Fellow Daoist Yan here today?"
Although this was the case, Yan Qiu didn't feel good when he heard this. It was obvious that his plan had failed this time. However, it was already impossible for him to make a move now. Instead of staying here and inviting humiliation, he might as well leave. Yan Qiu's eyelids twitched as he smiled politely, "I didn't expect to meet Brother Yi again today. Sect Master Ji and I are old friends. Just now, I just happened to know that he was returning to the Spirit Realm, so I specially came to exchange pointers. Now that Brother Yi is here, I'll have to ask you to escort Sect Master Ji back to the Realm Gate. I'll take my leave now. "
After he finished speaking, he cupped his fists and turned around to fly towards the Myriad Demon City. His movements were natural and smooth, and he didn't look as fierce as when he tried to rob him halfway. Instead, he looked like an old friend who had reunited after a long time.
"Take care, Fellow Daoist Yan. I had a lot of fun today's exchange of pointers. I hope we can have a chance to exchange pointers with our true bodies in the future," Ji Xuanyuan said lightly.
