He met Yan Lei in Dusk Mountain City. Fortunately, he came lightly and didn't bring An Ming, the matriarch of the Dark Night. Yi Tian didn't hide much after meeting him. At the same time, he indirectly revealed his identity.
The two chatted happily. During this time, they also mentioned the current situation of the Flaming Prison Demon Royal Family. Back then, Yi Tian assisted Concubine Yan in the Demon Realm. At this time, she had already established her identity as the heir of the Royal Family. From Yan Lei, it seemed that Concubine Yan still couldn't forget him. Unfortunately, he was still a spirit cultivator. His relationship with Concubine Yan could only go so far and not go deeper.
Then Yi Tian mentioned that he went to the Demon Realm for another mission. Who knew that Yan Lei exposed the purpose of his trip. For a moment, Yi Tian was embarrassed.
After a while, Yan Lei said, "Actually, you don't have to be surprised. From the time you insisted on going to the Abyss of the Demon Realm, I already had doubts in my heart."
"Then why did Royal Uncle still help me?" Yi Tian was puzzled.
"Because of your conduct and what you have done, I can see that you are different from the other descendants of the clan." Yan Lei answered seriously, "After the Inferno Prison Demon Clan had existed for ten thousand years, the entire royal family of the Inferno Prison Demon Clan had no intention of improving themselves. They were all lifeless. And your appearance was like a clear stream that promoted the internal development of the Royal Family. "
"Royal Uncle is too polite," Yi Tian replied awkwardly. He didn't expect that by entering the Flaming Prison Demon Royal Family, he would inadvertently promote the reform of the Royal Family. It was really an unintentional mistake.
Yan Lei said seriously, "Speaking of which, I gave you this convenience on the trip to the Abyss of the Demon Realm. It's a kind of recognition for you. To put it bluntly, Royal Brother once asked me to secretly investigate your background. Guess what I found? "
Yi Tian was shocked. If he entered the Flaming Prison Demon Emperor's sight early back then, it definitely wouldn't be a good thing. To be able to escape unscathed from the Demon Realm, Yan Lei must have done something to protect her. Since he said this, he must have found something. She asked without changing her expression, "Did Royal Uncle find any clues about my whereabouts?"
"From the Yin Corpse World, you infiltrated the Flaming Prison Devil Clan's army and returned to the Devil World. In the Yin Corpse World, the Flaming Prison Crown Prince Yan Long's death must have something to do with you." Yan Lei smiled.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it from him, Yi Tian nodded in tacit agreement. Yan Lei continued, "Actually, Yan Long is just a branch family, yet he wants to get his hands on Dabao. My royal brother has long disliked him. If it weren't for the unity of the imperial family, he would have been killed long ago. Sending him to the Yin Corpse World was also an opportunity to let the Buddhist Sect's cultivators deal with him. After all, this kind of spoiled brat has never seen a real battle. If he meets a powerful Buddhist Sect's cultivator, he will definitely not be able to return. "
Yi Tian took a breath of cold air and thought quickly. He didn't expect the Flaming Prison Devil Emperor to have thought so far. He had inadvertently helped Flaming Prison Devil Emperor, which was why they turned a blind eye to his identity.
"What else?" Yi Tian asked.
"Next, you assisted Concubine Yan many times in seizing power in the Devil World, and opened up the situation in two battlefields, allowing the Flaming Prison Devil Clan to gain real benefits." Yan Lei said, "Even if I know your identity is different, what you have done is a great help to the imperial family. If they deal with you, it will definitely not be just my royal brother and Concubine Yan who will benefit."
"I see. It seems that Royal Uncle has found out about my identity long ago." Yi Tian asked tentatively.
"Of course. A Severed Soul Stage cultivator suddenly appeared in the army of the Flaming Prison Devil Clan, and he was so close to Concubine Yan. Of course, it couldn't escape my royal brother's eyes." Yan Lei explained, "Later, I found that you were investigating several times to find the clues left by the Demon Saint Crown Prince Qiu Yu, so I guessed your identity."
"Then why didn't you deal with me?" Yi Tian asked, puzzled.
"Well said. In all fairness, your existence has made the Flaming Prison Imperial Family show a new face. So why should we get rid of you?" Yan Lei said with a smile, "We only need to monitor you and let you guide Concubine Yan to secure the position of the Crown Prince. In fact, there are not many people in the entire imperial family who can really think about the interests of Concubine Yan. Excluding those old and powerless people, you are the most capable. Since my royal brother wants to use you, why should he expose your identity? "
So that's the case. Fortunately, he gave advice to Concubine Yan and helped her to ascend to the position of the Crown Prince step by step, so the transition was smooth. Otherwise, if there was a foreign cultivator beside the Crown Prince of the Flaming Prison Imperial Family, the Demon Emperor would have already taken action.
"Then why did Royal Uncle conclude that I came to find the clues of the Demon Saint Crown Prince Qiu Yu?" Yi Tian asked.
"At first, I was just suspicious. It was not until you insisted on going to the Abyss of the Demon Realm that I was sure," Yan Lei replied, "I also discussed this matter with my royal brother for a long time. He wants you to continue to work for the imperial family."
"If that's the case, I'm afraid I will soon reach the point where I have to give up the bow after the birds are gone." Yi Tian sighed.
"Back then, I insisted on letting you go. It can be considered a reward for your past in the Demon Realm." Yan Lei explained, "And with your strength, it is certain that you will enter the Unification Stage. It is better to be on good terms with a cultivator of the same level than to make an irreconcilable enmity."
"Is this also the Flaming Prison Demon Emperor's intention?" Yi Tian asked.
"This is my intention," Yan Lei said with a smile, "It seems that my decision back then was not wrong. You are indeed stronger than I expected."
Hearing this, Yi Tian relaxed. Speaking of which, he and Yan Lei had interacted before. Although it was mostly for the sake of benefits, they had cooperated very happily. At the very least, it could be said that they were mutually beneficial. After thinking for a while, he said, "Actually, I am a person of some status in this world. In the future, when I meet Royal Uncle on the battlefield of the Demon Disaster, I will naturally not be able to bear to meet you on the battlefield."
"Let me guess your identity," Yan Lei blinked and said meaningfully, "Your strength is above mine. I'm afraid you have already reached the late Unification Stage."
Yi Tian nodded and gestured for him to continue. Yan Lei said, "I have met Zheng Tingyun from the Taiqing Pavilion and Lu Jianling from the Feiyu Kenshū Sect. In terms of strength, they are about the same as me. However, I can see that the moves you used in the previous battle are not your specialty. In that case, you should not be from the Taiqing Pavilion or the Feiyu Kenshū Sect. "
"That is indeed the case," Yi Tian said calmly.
"Since that is the case and you can obtain the Taiqing Pavilion's Unification Stage female cultivator Qing Lianyun as your Dao companion, you can only be from the most mysterious Lifire Palace," Yan Lei analyzed. "I heard that the Lifire Palace's Sect Master, Ji Xuanyuan, exhausted his lifespan and entered the cycle of reincarnation a few decades ago. The current Lifire Palace's acting Sect Master, Han Liu, is only an early Unification Stage cultivator. I heard that the new Sect Master is still in seclusion in the sect."
"Royal Uncle seems to know the internal situation of the three sects in the Spirit World very well," Yi Tian said calmly.
"To be able to call Sect Master Yi 'Royal Uncle', this is also a great fate." Yan Lei once again took the wine pot and filled it to the brim. He raised his cup and invited, "Come, let's toast again."
Yi Tian shook his head helplessly. He could only smile bitterly and said, "Royal Uncle, please."
