The demon disaster in the Spirit Realm had lasted for hundreds of years. During this time, the two sides were still in a stalemate at the edge of the Spirit Realm's three sects' control. It didn't have much of an impact on the Spirit Realm's hinterland. At most, a few small groups of demons would sneak into the Spirit Realm's hinterland to harass the Spirit Cultivator Alliance's supply routes.
However, under the joint efforts of the three sects, they sent a large number of troops to guard the major passes in the hinterland. They also organized elite cultivators to lead small groups of people to stop the demon cultivators who sneaked in.
As for the most intense battle between the two sides, besides the main battlefield, it was near the realm gates. It was unknown when the demon army began to adjust their strategy and sent an army to attack the realm gates.
The Spirit Cultivator Alliance naturally wouldn't give up such an important strategic location so easily. They sent a large number of people to deploy near the realm gates. Originally, the guardian of the realm gates, Invincible Saber Song Li, was the best candidate to lead the army. However, this person suddenly went out a few decades ago and disappeared without a trace. The Spirit Cultivator Alliance had no choice but to send a high-level cultivator to oversee the situation.
The Mythical Fire Palace's Fire Chain was entrusted with the important task of becoming the new guardian of the realm gates. The Feiyu Kenshū Sect also sent Elder Sheng Zhuangxiong as support. One guarded the realm gates, the other stationed in the recovered Azure Dragon Fortress. The two of them each led an army to support each other in a triangular formation.
On this day, high in the sky of the Spirit Realm, there was a streak of light slowly flying in the direction of the realm gates. Its speed didn't seem to be very fast. However, it was still comparable to an early Body Integration cultivator flying at full speed.
The figure slightly revealed in the streak of light was Yi Tian's original body, who had escaped from the Jasper Flower Pavilion. After coming out, Yi Tian didn't bother to report back to the Spirit Cultivator Alliance's headquarters. He just wrote the general situation on a communication jade talisman and sent it out.
The demon disaster had lasted for so long. He had already dealt with two Body Integration cultivators and stalled the enemy's top combat power, the Scarlet Pupil Demon. He had done enough.
When Zheng Tingyun received the communication jade talisman and understood the situation, she would know what to do next. After the trip to the Qionghua Pavilion, Yi Tian also had a deeper understanding of the Devil Disaster. Since this matter was calculated by the dacheng stage cultivators, he did not need to deliberately disrupt their plans.
As for Demon Sage Bao Chi's clone, Yi Tian was not afraid that Bao Chi's main body would come to the Spirit World to settle the score with him. At most, he could send another clone, but it would be a one-way trip for him.
In the Jasper Flower Pavilion, Yi Tian was still investigating the news of the Dao. The identity of the boy who had entered with Feng Lingzi was definitely a mystery. At the very least, he couldn't find any trace of this person in his biography of the Spirit Realm. In short, the boy seemed to have evaporated into thin air and disappeared from the spirit realm.
Speaking of which, if he was the successor chosen by Feng Ling Zi, his strength would definitely be at the same level as the founders of the three sects, or even stronger. Logically speaking, the Allheaven Immortal Palace should not have collapsed so easily with such a powerful person in charge. But in fact, the sect that had been passed down for nearly 20,000 years finally fell into the hands of the disciples of the three branches.
Something big must have happened. Since Yi Tian left the Jasper Flower Pavilion, he had been thinking about this matter in his heart. Those who knew about it had already ascended or died. Even the dacheng stage cultivators of the three sects of the Spirit Realm might not know much about this matter.
There were still too many mysteries waiting for him to investigate. Thinking of this, Yi Tian could only put away his thoughts and turn his gaze to the realm gate. He was entrusted by Song Li to pass his storage ring to Xi Tianying, which was why he came here.
It was precisely because of his conversation with Song Li and his meeting with Xi Tianying last time at the realm gate that Song Li entrusted him with this task before his death.
Not long after flying in the air, he spread out his spiritual sense and found that he had almost passed the Azure Dragon Fort. At this time, he was only about 5,000 kilometers away from the realm gate. Wherever his spiritual sense went, he found that this place was not very peaceful. There were many signs of demon cultivators invading below.
Many spirit cultivators of the three sects organized a large group of people to resist the attack. Shaking his head, Yi Tian did not want to interfere in this matter. His spiritual sense probed further ahead and he suddenly sensed a large number of cultivators gathering about two thousand kilometers up ahead.
It seemed that there was a fierce battle between cultivators below the Body Integration stage there. Fortunately, there were no high-level cultivators on either side.
Yi Tian originally wanted to directly fly to the realm gate after passing by, but under the investigation of his spiritual sense, he found two familiar auras there. They were Xi Tianying and Xiang Donghui from the Taiqing Pavilion. Since they were the main characters of this trip, Yi Tian naturally did not want to miss them. He immediately changed the direction of his flight and flew straight there.
In a few breaths, he arrived above the battlefield. After quietly dropping his spiritual sense, he checked the surrounding 1,000 kilometers. Now the battle below seemed to have entered a white-hot state. The demon side was led by a Spirit Severing stage cultivator of the Flame Prison Demon Clan. In the team, there was actually Yang Mama, who he knew. The large group behind them was of different levels. There were about ten major races of demon cultivators in the Demon Realm, and there were also many rogue cultivators of the Demon Realm.
On the side of the spirit realm, the rogue cultivators of the Army Destroyer Mountain led by Xi Tianying and a group of cultivators of the Taiqing Pavilion behind Xiang Donghui formed two camps to face the enemy.
The two sides fought back and forth very fiercely. From time to time, someone would be shot down on the spot. Yi Tian saw this and sighed. These cultivators had also cultivated for thousands of years, but in the face of the cruelty of war, they seemed to be nothing.
Soon, the battle between the two sides attracted the attention of the high-grade cultivators. In the distance, a black escape light hurried over. In an instant, it was already close at hand. As for the spirit cultivators, it seemed that Sheng Zhuangxiong, who was far away in the Azure Dragon Fortress, had not yet made a move, and Huo Lian, who was guarding the realm gate, did not show any signs of support after scanning with his spiritual sense.
With the addition of such a high-grade combat power, even if the spirit cultivators had the upper hand before, it would be in vain. After the black escape light flew to the sky above the battlefield, the spiritual pressure on his body spread out. After a short while, the two sides directly separated and returned to their camps. Everyone looked up at the sky, their eyes full of doubts.
The black escape light faded, revealing a figure. It was Yan Lei of the Flame Prison Demon Clan. This person was also considered experienced. After fighting in the spirit realm for so long, he seemed to be completely unaffected.
It was unknown whether he suddenly appeared this time to disrupt the battle or to directly kill these spirit realm cultivators. Yi Tian restrained his breath in the air and hid his figure in the air. He silently watched. To be honest, he was wrong to trust him last time. He didn't expect that the fire source essence he provided had a hidden hand. Fortunately, he was lucky. If he didn't eliminate the hidden danger early, he might really be lured to become the next Demon Saint Crown Prince.
Among the human spirit cultivators below, Xi Tian Ying took the lead to fly out of the formation. He cupped his fist to Yan Tong above, "Senior, why did you suddenly barge in? Didn't we agree to fight with cultivators of equal strength? In terms of numbers, no one can surpass us. "
"Boy, you are the disciple of Invincible Blade Song Li, right?" Yan Lei looked at him with a disdainful look, "At this time, Sheng Zhuangxiong has been delayed by Leng Xu. As for Huo Lian's side, Ning Rui Lin will restrain him."
"Senior, could it be that you're making a mountain out of a molehill just to deal with us?" Xi Tian Ying replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. It was true that his words lacked confidence. After all, the high-level cultivators on the side of the spirit cultivators were delayed and would not be able to respond for a while. Now that they were facing Yan Lei, who was in the middle stage of the Body Integration Stage, they were like mantises trying to stop a chariot. They did not have any strength to resist.
It was only because of the spirit cultivator's belief and tenacious spirit that Xi Tian Ying came out to reason with Yan Lei.
"You are just stalling for time," Yan Lei sneered, "I came here today specifically to find you. As long as you hand over the key to the seal of the realm gate, you can leave directly. I can guarantee that I won't hurt anyone here."
"Senior is thinking too highly of me," Xi Tian Ying's eyelids trembled slightly, and he replied, "With Senior Huo Lian guarding the realm gate, why do you need me to keep the key to the seal of the realm gate?"
"Kid, you are still too young," Yan Lei smiled faintly and said, "Do you know why I know about this? Do you think our demon army casually provoked this battle at the realm gate?"
Xi Tian Ying's face was ashen as he shook his head. Although he didn't know, he had lived for so many years and experienced everything. The key to the seal of the realm gate was a huge secret. Only the guardian of the realm gate and the sect masters of the three sects knew the details of the situation inside.
Today, from the mouth of a demon cultivator, there must be a problem. Xi Tian Ying only felt his mind go blank. He thought of several possibilities in his mind, and even considered the worst case scenario. After thinking about it, he asked, "Could it be that my master fell into your hands, or that you planned to lure him into a trap?"
As soon as these words were said, the spirit cultivators around were shocked. The most exciting battle between the two sides in this demon disaster was the battle between Invincible Blade Song Li and Dugu Chenglong. After all, it was carried out in public, and many low-level cultivators witnessed the fierce battle with their own eyes.
Therefore, when Yan Lei mentioned this, Xi Tian Ying's first reaction was that something had happened to his master. Song Li had only entrusted such confidential information to him before he left. It could be seen how important the seal of the realm gate was.
Xi Tian Ying had the key to unlock the seal, so he could naturally open the gate to the demon world. That was why he was so nervous.
A mocking smile appeared on Yan Lei's face as he said, "He told me himself."
"Impossible," Xi Tian Ying's face turned red as he shouted, "The seal of the realm gate is so important. You must have trapped my master and forced him to tell you this."
Yan Lei used a disdainful gaze to size up the spirit cultivators in the distance below. He saw that after the words just now, it was clear that the cultivators of Tai Qing Pavilion were still fine under Xiang Donghui's leadership. Although some strange expressions appeared on their faces, their overall morale was not in chaos.
As for the rogue cultivators of the Army Destroyer Mountain, their faces were also full of determination. They were loyal to Xi Tian Ying, so naturally, they would advance and retreat with him. As for the rogue cultivators who were formed, it was different. When they heard that their commander's master had openly betrayed them, they more or less showed some doubt on their faces. They also deliberately distanced themselves from the surrounding cultivators.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Yan Lei said mockingly, "You guys are fighting here, but you don't know that you were betrayed by the Invincible Blade Song Li. At this time, he should be under the leadership of Dugu Chenglong to accept the Devil Qi and become a true rogue cultivator of the demon clan."
"Nonsense, my master has been guarding the realm gate for thousands of years. He won't be easily lured into the demon path," Xi Tian Ying said angrily. His eyes revealed a burning fighting spirit. Even in the face of Yan Lei, who was in the middle stage of the Unification Stage, he was not afraid at all.
However, his performance did not stabilize the originally slack morale of the army. First, there was the appearance of a Unification Stage cultivator of the demon clan, and then they heard that the famous Unification Stage rogue cultivator of the spiritual realm, Invincible Blade Song Li, had become a demon. Under the stimulation of such shocking news, the spirit cultivators' morale was obviously slack, and many people wanted to retreat.
However, Xi Tian Ying, who was standing in front of the formation, suddenly raised his head and laughed. His laughter was mixed with incomparable sadness. This action naturally attracted the attention of the people behind him. They heard him say in a deep voice, "Okay, no matter if what you said is true or false, the purpose of senior's visit today is nothing more than to take the key to open the seal of the realm gate."
"Indeed, I see that you are a man. As long as you are willing to hand over the key with both hands, not only can I let you go, I can also personally infuse you with Devil Qi and lead you into the demon path. At that time, you can reunite with your master again. Why not?" Yan Lei said.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of a large number of spirit cultivators changed. Even the cultivators of the Taiqing Pavilion had fear on their faces. Xiang Donghui called out, "Fellow Daoist Xi, don't be bewitched by him. Once you enter the demon path, you will be doomed eternally. From then on, you will no longer be able to control yourself. Furthermore, your master is only out and hasn't returned yet. Perhaps there is still a chance for things to turn around. "
"Haha, ignorant juniors, let me tell you a secret. Invincible Blade Song Li is only a small character." Yan Lei coldly snorted and said, "This time, the target is the number one Body Integration cultivator in the spirit realm, who is about to become the new Demon Saint Crown Prince. As long as he appears, the entire situation of the demon disaster will be instantly reversed."
These words were like a heavy hammer that fiercely smashed into the bodies of all the spirit cultivators present. Instantly, the morale of the demon army skyrocketed. On the other hand, the spirit cultivators all had bitter expressions. Xiang Donghui seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed greatly. He hurriedly took out a communication talisman and sent it out after injecting his spirit energy.
However, the talisman didn't fly very far before it was caught by an invisible hand. The person who caught it was the Flaming Prison Emperor's uncle, Yan Lei. He said with a playful expression, "What, you still want to contact the spirit cultivator alliance? Let me tell you, even if Zheng Tingyun and Lu Jianling work together, they may not be the new Demon Saint Crown Prince's opponent. I advise you to quickly surrender and accept the Devil Qi container to become a demon."
"Bullshit," Xi Tian Ying said in a low voice, "We are spirit cultivators. We will definitely not lower our heads to the demon race and beg for mercy."
