Flying above the inner sea, Yi Tian looked at the puppet token in his hand and laughed in his heart. During this trip to the ruins, Ninghai City and the Red Scaled Sea Tribe basically did not gain anything.
After the restriction was broken, both sides sent Jin Dan cultivators to re-investigate, but they did not find anything of value. The naval war that had lasted for ten years had finally come to an end. Now that both sides did not need to compete for resources, they gradually began to withdraw their troops.
As the instigator of this matter, Yi Tian also received some benefits under Liu Yue's protection. In addition to the spirit stone reward, he also received the puppet token. In fact, Yi Tian knew in his heart that this was the result of Liu Piaopao's actions. Liu Yue was thanking Yi Tian for his help in the ruins, so this thing was just a favor.
After bidding farewell to Liu Piaopao, Yi Tian hurried back to Eastsea City. He had been out for nearly a month and a half, so he did not know what the situation was like. He had to go back and report back. The key was that this time, he had to give the Image Recording Pearl to the heads of the three sects.
From Ninghai City's inner sea to the south, there were basically no obstructions. Some of the Ninghai City's patrol teams saw Yi Tian flying rapidly from afar and tried to avoid him as much as possible. Those who could fly in the air were either Jin Dan cultivators or Foundation Establishment Late Stage experts, so it was not worthwhile to go and cause trouble.
After flying to the southern island chain, Yi Tian couldn't see any of the patrolling teams. Yi Tian guessed that Lan Yu 'er must have returned to the Blue Scaled Sea Clan and regained her power. Then, she withdrew her army.
This time, Yi Tian sped up his journey. Since the war in the Eastsea City had subsided, the sect's withdrawal was also a matter of fact. If he missed the main force, then he would be very tired.
After flying non-stop for three days, Yi Tian was finally able to see East Sea City from afar. Thankfully, the number of guards stationed outside the city had decreased significantly. Thus, no cultivators came forward to inquire about the city.
After descending from the cloud, Yi Tian showed his sect's jade card at the entrance of the East Sea City. Now, the search was much more relaxed compared to a month ago. Not to mention, the jade card that Yi Tian took out was the identity card of a disciple of one of the three sects. The guards only used their divine sense to scan it and directly let him in.
Walking on the streets of East Sea City, the passersby had relaxed expressions on their faces. Many shops had already begun to sell off their goods at a discount. Everyone knew that once the Battle of East Sea ended, the disciples of the three sects would return to their sects. At that time, these hoarded goods wouldn't be able to be properly disposed of, so it was better to sell them at a discount.
After arriving at the East Sea City's City Lord's Mansion, Yi Tian showed his identity jade card and was led to the side hall by the guard at the entrance. Sitting in front of the round table in the side hall, Yi Tian was not in a hurry. He took out some spirit wine and drank it while waiting. In any case, the Sect Masters of the three sects would definitely come to see him to understand the situation.
About two hours later, Yi Tian heard footsteps coming from the corridor. Sensing that there were more than three people, he immediately sat up and put away his things. Before he could see them, Yi Tian felt four gazes sweep over him. Not daring to be careless, he hastily stood up and respectfully greeted the three Sect Masters.
A moment later, Yangyan Zi, Xuan Jianxin, Nangong Aotian and Ye Qingchen walked in. After seeing Yi Tian, they all smiled and greeted him to sit down.
After the four sat down, Yi Tian spoke first, "Reporting to the three Sect Masters and Martial Uncle Ye, disciple has successfully completed the mission and left the results of the mission in the Image Recording Pearl." After saying that, he directly took out the Image Recording Pearl.
Yangyan Zi smiled and nodded. After receiving the Image Recording Pearl, he tapped it with his finger. Instantly, the pearl shot out a ray of light that shone on the wall. It slowly replayed the scene of how Yi Tian and Lan Sha sneaked in and how they seized the Dinghai Pearl.
Then the four of them couldn't help but nod. Yangyan Zi and Ye Qingchen muttered, "Yes, this is the first merit of the Battle of East Sea."
Nangong Aotian asked, "Why didn't you hurry back after completing the mission? Instead, you stayed in the deep sea for more than a month?"
Xuan Jianxin turned his head and asked, "Where is Lan Sha now? Is he dead? "
Hearing this, Yi Tian was really angry, but it wasn't appropriate for him to lose his temper on the spot, so he could only slowly explain, "After disciple succeeded in the deep sea, the plan of the Sea Race was disrupted. The Blue Scaled Sea Race was bound to capture me, so disciple stayed on the deep sea island for a while. When everything was calm, disciple took a detour and returned."
Then, he turned to Xuan Jianxin and said, "Senior Tie Jian's spirit beast Lan Sha is dead. I killed it with my own hands." Looking at the four people sitting opposite him, Yangyan Zi nodded and motioned for Yi Tian to continue. "This Lan Sha was actually a member of the Red Scaled Sea Race. After the successful sneak attack, we met at the agreed place. Unexpectedly, he attracted the Red Scaled Sea Race's sea beasts to besiege me. In the end, I killed him on the spot."
This time, Xuan Jianxin couldn't keep his face, while the other three looked at him suspiciously. After finishing the report, Yi Tian sat down and ignored their discussion. Anyway, this matter all depended on the Sect Master. He believed that Yangyan Zi wouldn't let his disciple suffer for no reason.
After half an incense stick's worth of time, the four people seemed to have finished their discussion. Yangyan Zi said, "Yi Tian, you should rest here first. This matter can be big or small. We still need to investigate it again. Of course, I will remember your contribution and will not let you suffer for no reason."
After saying that, the four people got up and walked out of the side hall. Before leaving, Ye Qingchen turned his head and motioned for Yi Tian to rest assured. Then, he sent a voice transmission to Yi Tian's ears, "Don't worry, the Sect will definitely uphold justice for you."
When he got up and respectfully sent the four people out of the hall, Yi Tian clearly noticed that Xuan Jianxin and Nangong Aotian paused. They should have overheard Ye Qingchen's voice transmission just now. Yi Tian secretly felt happy. This time, he must make them bleed a little.
When he was the only one left in the side chamber, Yi Tian took out the wine bottle again, crossed his legs, and slowly took a sip. He believed that the three Sect Masters would not only arrange for one spy. They would definitely find out the identity of Lan Sha through other channels. As long as this matter was solved, his contribution record would be irrefutable.
He even called for the guards outside the side hall to bring him some tea and snacks from the City Lord's Mansion. It would be a waste if he didn't take advantage of it. After resting for a while in the side hall, Yi Tian directly sat down on his seat. Anyway, this matter would not come to a conclusion in two or three days, so he had no choice but to wait.
For three days, no one came to disturb him in the side hall. The guards outside seemed to have received orders from the three Sect Masters. Even after their shifts, they had no intention of coming in.
The sound of footsteps woke up Yi Tian from his meditation. When he opened his eyes, he saw that only Ye Qingchen and Yang Yanzi had come in. However, the two of them were obviously smiling and were talking and laughing.
As soon as they entered, they saw Yi Tian standing up and respectfully welcoming them. Yang Yanzi stroked his beard and gestured for them to sit down. After the three of them were seated, he smiled and said, "The identity of Lan Sha has been investigated. He is indeed from the Red Scale Clan. He tried to provoke the Blue Scale Clan to fight with our Eastsea City."
Hearing this, Yi Tian's heart relaxed. The truth of the matter had finally come to light. No wonder the Sect Masters of the two sects didn't come. After being extorted by Yang Yanzi, they had probably gone somewhere to vent their anger.
In response, Yi Tian said with a serious expression, "This disciple was lucky to be able to escape unscathed."
Ye Qingchen said, "Being able to escape from the Sea Race twice proves that you are strong. Moreover, you releasing the Blue Scale Clan's Saintess has caused the misunderstanding between the two clans to not deepen. We don't want to see a life and death struggle between the two clans."
This time, it was Yi Tian's turn to be surprised. It seemed that the Sect Master knew about what he had done. He wondered how he would deal with this matter. Yi Tian looked up at Yang Yanzi and saw that there was no anger on his face. He slowly relaxed.
Yang Yanzi saw that it was about time and felt that it would be awkward to continue, so he said, "Martial Nephew Yi, after the Blue Scale Clan's Saintess returned, the Blue Scale Clan retreated overnight. I believe that after this battle, Eastsea City will be at peace for a few more decades."
After saying this, he gave Ye Qingchen a look. The latter understood and said, "In view of your contribution, the Eastsea City's City Lord's Mansion has decided to give you 5000 contribution points as a reward."
This was what Yi Tian wanted the most. Now that the price of goods was depreciating every day, he could comfortably go shopping with 5000 contribution points. After thinking about it, he said, "I want the 'Golden Sun Unbreakable Body' spirit art. Can you convert the extra points into spirit herbs, materials, and raw ores?"
Yang Yanzi checked Yi Tian's cultivation, then turned to Ye Qingchen and said, "A late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator should prepare his life source magic treasure. Give him the spirit art and the 'Red Light Ginseng' from Eastsea City's warehouse. Consider it compensation from the City Lord's Mansion."
Ye Qingchen smiled and said, "Senior Brother, aren't you afraid of the two Sect Masters gossiping?"
"They wouldn't dare. After verifying Blue Shark's identity, even Old Man Iron Sword himself made a big mistake. As long as we don't go too far, they won't care."
This time, Yi Tian understood what was going on. It seemed that the two Sect Leaders felt that they were in the wrong, so they didn't come. However, the two people in front of him were seizing the opportunity to not let go. He guessed that the benefits their sects received were not any less than his.
Yi Tian's confinement was automatically lifted. After waiting for half an hour in the City Lord's Mansion's side hall, he saw Ye Qingchen give a storage bag to Yi Tian. The mission was completed. After receiving the things, Yi Tian used his Divine Sense to check it. It contained the 'Golden Sun Unbreakable Body' jade slip and the 'Red Light Ginseng' jade box.
After thanking Ye Qing Chen for a while, Yi Tian left the City Lord's Mansion in high spirits. After nearly a month and a half of work, he finally saw some results. After packing up, the first thing Yi Tian did was to go to the Eastsea City's market and small auctions to purchase materials.
Previously, he had brought a batch of spirit stones from Ninghai City, but unfortunately, he didn't buy any high-grade materials. He didn't dare to be high-profile if he wasn't in his own territory. Now that he was back, it was different. Those cultivators who had fought on the front lines must have a large number of sea beast corpses or seabed mineral deposits. These things were Yi Tian's target.
And this time, Yi Tian was also prepared to find a few white gloves to help. In any case, they were all rich, so they could cover their tracks.
