He didn't expect that Bao Chi would leave after he agreed to Bao Chi's agreement. In fact, this matter wasn't difficult to distinguish. If Bao Chi's clone were to fight with him here, the three Grand Ascension Stage cultivators would definitely be alerted.
Bao Chi's clone would only be able to fight him to a draw at most. At the same time, it was unknown whether he could win against him.
However, since he had agreed to Bao Chi's agreement, he wouldn't be able to act recklessly in the future. Bao Chi wanted to use this agreement to restrict his actions. After all, if a powerful figure appeared on the spirit cultivators' side, the balance of power between the two sides would quickly subside the devil disaster. This was what Bao Chi didn't want to see the most. Just as he said, the true purpose of the devil disaster was to break the existing structure of the devil race and create a new one.
During the early stages of the devil disaster, he had repeatedly weakened the strength of the devil race. Even after the devil disaster, the abyss devil race and the dark night devil race's strength would be weakened to varying degrees. Without a Body Integration Stage cultivator, other rogue cultivators or large clans would quickly take advantage of the situation and divide up the resources seized by the clans.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian understood that he had unintentionally disrupted the progress of the devil disaster. If this matter was investigated, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
At most, he could only find Bao Chi to practice with. Bao Chi probably didn't know that he had a close relationship with the Yellow Springs Guard and was not an enemy.
Turning around, Yi Tian found the right direction and flew towards the headquarters of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance. After a few hours, he returned to the encampment.
After returning, Yi Tian didn't go into seclusion again. Instead, he went to the main hall of the headquarters to find Zheng Tingyun. Given the current situation, it was best to explain it to her clearly. Otherwise, he would be blamed for not being able to do his part.
After arriving at Zheng Tingyun's private residence, Yi Tian gently knocked on the door and reported his purpose. Not long after, the door to the secret room opened. Yi Tian's spiritual sense spread out and found two people sitting inside. The other was the new Body Integration Stage cultivator of the Taiqing Pavilion, Qing Lianyun.
After entering the room, Yi Tian found a place to sit down. Seeing that he had returned safe and sound, Qing Lianyun said happily, "Husband, you managed to get rid of that one-eyed Devil Cultivator so quickly?"
Shaking his head, Yi Tian said with a solemn expression, "The one who came is not a one-eyed Devil Cultivator, but Devil Sage Bao Chi's clone."
At this point, Yi Tian noticed that the expressions of the two people sitting at the table changed. Qing Lianyun's face was filled with worry. As for Zheng Tingyun, she sized him up before asking, "Looks like you guys didn't do anything. Otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting here so calmly."
"That is indeed the case. Firstly, the Great Demon Saint's outburst was to point out that I had interfered in the battle between the two races. Secondly, I had unintentionally broken the balance of power between the two sides by taking care of An Ming," Yi Tian replied.
"These devils should have been expelled from the Spirit Realm in the first place. My husband's actions are perfectly justified," said Qing Lianyun.
On the other hand, Zheng Tingyun, who was sitting in front of him, thought about it carefully before sighing, "I understand. It's really been hard on Brother Yi this time. As for how to deal with the Devil Calamity in the future, let us deal with it ourselves. "
"Senior Martial Sister, how can you say that?" Qing Lianyun asked in confusion, "Don't tell me you're not going to do anything in the future Devil Calamity? We need people right now."
Zheng Tingyun shook her head and said, "Junior Martial Sister, you're still thinking too lightly about the problem. The Devil Calamity is not what it looks like on the surface. I only personally participated because of Master's hint."
After saying that, she turned around and asked, "Does Devil Sage Bao Chi have any restrictions or conditions for you?"
"From now on, I can only attack cultivators of the same level. Looking at the other party's forces, I can only attack the Scarlet-Eyed Devil of the One-eyed Devil Race and the Underworld Guard's Ning Ruilin. As for the others, as long as they don't provoke me, I can't attack them," explained Yi Tian.
"So it's like that," Zheng Tingyun said in realization, "Speaking of which, there are only two people who can make you attack in this Devil Calamity."
"But Lianyun, you don't have to worry. Devil Sage Bao Chi also said that they will try their best to avoid anyone related to me, so as to not force me to attack again," joked Yi Tian.
"Junior Martial Sister, you shouldn't go to the frontlines in the future. Those high-grade cultivators on the other side will definitely hear about it. They should avoid you as much as possible to avoid dragging Fellow Daoist Yi into the battle," said Zheng Tingyun.
"Senior Martial Sister, are you saying that you want me to retreat to the frontlines?" Asked Qing Lianyun with an unconvinced expression. "Now is the critical period of the Devil Race's outbreak. If I retreat, Senior Martial Sister will have no support in the Spirit Cultivator Alliance. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold the fort alone."
"I'm not asking you to retreat to the frontlines, I'm ordering you to immediately return to the sect and cultivate. In this battle, you've nominally killed a Body Integration stage cultivator of the Devil Race. In terms of merit, it's enough for you to retreat." Zheng Tingyun's expression turned serious. "I will send a message to Zhong Liangsu to take over your position. Junior Martial Sister, don't blame yourself for this, and don't blame Brother Yi. All of this is for the sake of the big picture."
Perhaps because it was the first time he saw Zheng Tingyun angry, Yi Tian restrained himself and didn't say anything else. Qing Lianyun was naturally used to seeing Senior Martial Sister Sect Master like this. She knew that the decision to retreat this time was already set in stone, and there was no room for discussion.
Speaking of which, her ability to kill An Ming could be considered one of a kind in the Spirit Cultivator Alliance. Since the beginning of the Devil Calamity, only a Body Integration stage cultivator of the Devil Race had died. With such a great merit given to her, even Lu Jianling, the Vice Alliance Master, couldn't question Zheng Tingyun's decision.
After a while, Qing Lianyun's eyes moistened. She stood up and bowed to Zheng Tingyun. "Junior Martial Sister doesn't dare to disobey Sect Master's orders. I hope Sect Master can be invincible in the following battle and drive the Devil Race army back to the Devil Realm as soon as possible, returning peace to the Spirit Realm."
When Zheng Tingyun heard this, she knew that Qing Lianyun was angry. She could only softly comfort her. "Junior Martial Sister, don't worry too much. This battle won't end until several hundred years later. After your cultivation reached the Body Integration stage, you haven't gone into secluded cultivation for a long time. This is a good opportunity for you to retreat. After you consolidate your cultivation, you'll probably be able to make it in time for the end of the Devil Calamity. At that time, it'll be most appropriate for you to reinforce me. "
Yi Tian also seized the opportunity to say, "Lianyun, return to the sect and cultivate well. Strive to cultivate the sect's mystic arts to grand completion within 200 years. When that time comes, we'll be able to use the Flying Lightning Seal and the Hundred Kilometer Teleportation Technique together."
When Qing Lianyun heard this, she rolled her eyes at Yi Tian. Her face reddened slightly. "You only know how to cooperate with each other. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
Her words left Yi Tian speechless. He could only smile apologetically and comfort her.
