On the battlefield of the demon disaster, the incident of the demon cultivators intercepting the Taiqing Pavilion's transport ship didn't cause much of a stir before it was suppressed. After that, Qing Lianyun returned to the headquarters of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance safe and sound. Naturally, everyone was happy.
Although Qing Lianyun didn't give a detailed description of this matter, but the disciples under her described the encounter vividly. This matter naturally aroused the suspicions of many people. After all, it was an early-stage Body Integration cultivator who could escape unscathed from the pursuit of two Body Integration cultivators. This was an inconceivable matter.
Fortunately, the Sect Master of the Taiqing Pavilion, Zheng Tingyun, personally took care of this matter and ordered her disciples to keep quiet about it. Only then did the rumors gradually die down.
As for the jade Buddha that was sent back, Zheng Tingyun used a secret technique to repair it. Now that the Spirit Cultivator Alliance had such a spirit treasure that specialized in restraining demons, they gradually began to expand their battle lines and frequently engaged in battle with the demon army.
The level of the battle escalated over the next few years. Every time the spirit and demon armies clashed, many cultivators would die. The death ratio of spirit cultivators to demon cultivators reached a terrifying three to seven ratio.
As a result, there weren't many demon cultivators who entered the Critical Boundary. After continuous consumption, the area under their control gradually shrank.
As a result, the momentum of this demon disaster was gradually suppressed. The Spirit Cultivator Alliance gradually launched a counterattack and recovered many of the previously lost towns in one fell swoop.
However, the main force of the demon army's invasion was still the Body Integration cultivators. During this period, they only managed the resources they occupied and didn't attack frequently. Thus, the battle was still controlled at the Severed Soul stage.
During this time, Yi Tian secretly came to the headquarters of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance. He hid in Qing Lianyun's residence and rested well, waiting for his next trip.
After a few years, he suddenly received a message from Qing Lianyun, saying that the demon army had recently made a move. The ones mobilized were all Body Integration cultivators, even if they were leading the army.
At first, Yi Tian didn't care. However, in the next few days, he received many messages. It seemed that the demon army was organizing a large-scale battle and had begun to expand in all directions.
It seemed like they were going to fight with the Spirit Cultivator Alliance again, and then it evolved into a battle invitation. But this time, the challenge was for the division of some spiritual veins. Currently, the devil army was temporarily unable to expand their forces, but the Spirit Cultivator Alliance did not have enough power to drive them out of the Spirit Realm.
Both sides were in a stalemate, perhaps this was the outcome that the dacheng stage cultivators wanted to see in the near future.
Yi Tian, who had been recuperating in his courtyard, also received the Communication Jade Amulet. After reading the message, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
The sender was the Taiqing Pavilion's Sect Master, Zheng Ting Yun. The content of the jade talisman was an invitation from the Devil Race's Commander-in-chief, Dugu Chenglong. This time, he proposed a nine-man duel, and the loser would have to retreat a thousand miles within the existing area of the duel, giving up the original buffer zone.
Speaking of which, these things were all nonsense. The demon army had invaded the Spiritual Realm to plunder resources, but it was unknown what they were up to when they suddenly mentioned this.
In the challenge, Dugu Chenglong mentioned that each side would send six Body Integration cultivators and three Severed Divinity cultivators to compete with each other.
The Body Integration cultivators would be a combination of three mid-stage Body Integration cultivators and three early-stage Body Integration cultivators. There was no limit to the Severed Divinity cultivators' cultivation levels.
As a result, Zheng Ting Yun had no choice but to accept this matter. If she refused, she was afraid that she would be ridiculed by the other party. But now that the other party could make such a request, they naturally knew the people of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance's headquarters like the back of their hand. Most of this was due to Song Li's skills, but Yi Tian had already informed Zheng Ting Yun about this before, so she probably knew how to deal with this matter.
But since the challenge had been raised, she naturally agreed. She also sent the message to him just in case. She wanted him to help her watch over the situation.
After receiving the message, Yi Tian's figure flickered and disappeared from the courtyard. In the next moment, he had already flown to the sky above the Spirit Cultivator Alliance's headquarters.
He secretly used his Divine Sense to investigate. This time, Zheng Ting Yun was personally going to battle, bringing the elites of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance with her. The ones guarding the headquarters were the Feiyu Kenshū Sect's Sect Master, Lu Jianling, and two other Body Integration cultivators.
Relying on the defensive formation, the three Body Integration cultivators could withstand attacks from cultivators of the same level twice as many people. This was also why Zheng Ting Yun dared to bring people with her.
However, when Yi Tian saw the list of cultivators guarding the headquarters, his heart sank. He didn't expect that other than Lu Jianling, Invincible Saber Song Li was also on the list. Although he would rather believe that Song Li wouldn't do anything harmful to the Spirit Cultivator Alliance, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't make a mistake. If that happened, there would be many variables if the Demon Race cultivators attacked.
Zheng Ting Yun was also preparing for a rainy day. The jade talisman said that in recent years, she had always been paying attention to Song Li's movements and hadn't found any excessive actions. But today was different. Previously, she hadn't found an opportunity. Now, the commander was leading the troops to battle. If one of the three people guarding the headquarters had a problem, it was bound to implicate the other two.
Manager Zheng Ting Yun had also sent him a communication jade talisman to secretly look after the situation at the headquarters of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance, then find a way to support her.
Hovering in the air above the headquarters of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance, Yi Tian carefully scanned the situation within a radius of five thousand kilometers. For a time, he didn't find any signs of Demon Race cultivators approaching. Just as he was about to turn around and head to the area where the two armies were fighting, his spiritual sense detected a transport ship heading toward the headquarters from the area where the two armies were in a stalemate.
Its speed was astonishing, not inferior to Zheng Ting Yun's full speed flight. Yi Tian immediately frowned and knew that things weren't looking good. The person controlling the transport ship was at least as strong as a Body Integration cultivator. Moreover, at this juncture, their intentions were self-evident.
With that thought, he turned around and flew in the direction of the transport ship.
A meteor streaked across the sky, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Yi Tian intercepted the transport ship head-on. The people in the opposite cabin seemed to have noticed his presence and gradually slowed down their flying speed. Three breaths later, the cabin door opened. Two figures flew out and faced each other not far in front of him.
The two newcomers were Body Integration cultivators. One of them was Leng Xu from the Ice Demon Race, whom he had met before. After a thousand years, he still looked the same as before. The other person was a cultivator full of blood and evil Qi.
Yi Tian frowned slightly. He immediately guessed that this person might be the Yin Corpse Realm's Old Demon Blood Corpse. Back then, he and Jiu Tuoluo had fought with his clone. This time, he heard Yan Lei mention that the Demon Race had found helpers from the other realms to come and help. It seemed that those helpers had already arrived.
