The schedule for the Life and Death Arena was originally very full, but the city lord's palace suddenly ordered the entire schedule to stop. This naturally affected a lot of people, and many rogue cultivators began to complain about the city lord's palace's measures. However, most of them were rogue cultivators. As for the sect cultivators and the city lord's palace, they kept their mouths shut and silently followed the arrangements.
As for the bets, cultivators came out to clarify that all bets on the Life and Death Arena were temporarily postponed, and the bets that were previously sold were still valid. Only then did the agitated rogue cultivators calm down.
Three days later, the Life and Death Arena was reopened. This time, the Sumeru Space was divided into four, allowing four groups of Spirit Severing cultivators to fight.
Moreover, the city lord's palace seemed to have realized that there was something fishy about the Life and Death Arena, so they adjusted the arrangements.
They added two Spirit Severing cultivators to take turns controlling the Sumeru Spirit Tool. They also divided the cultivators according to their cultivation. For the next two days, the Yuanying cultivators were arranged to fight, and the Spirit Severing cultivators were arranged to fight on the following day.
If it was a true life and death battle, then the Sumeru Space would be adjusted into a single space, and only one battle would be held on that day.
In the southern part of the city, there was a secluded manor with the most abundant spirit qi. It was originally Xi Tianying's residence. When he wasn't here, this place was deserted, but today, the main gate of the manor was wide open. It seemed that the realm gate guard had returned.
In the main hall of the manor, Yi Tian sat alone on the main seat. He took out a jade slip and was carefully reading it. Suddenly, the restriction outside the door shook, and Hua Yulin walked in with a rogue cultivator. This person was the guest elder of the Flame Prison Devil Clan, An Xi Chen. He was originally a rogue cultivator, but after entering the Flame Prison Devil Clan, he did very well.
It was unknown why he was involved in the Devil Calamity War and ended up in the Spirit Realm.
After the two walked into the hall, they saw Yi Tian reading the jade slip in his hand attentively. Hua Yulin was about to step forward and speak when An Xi Chen hurriedly raised his hand to stop him. He then signaled to An Xi Chen with his face. After a while, Yi Tian said, "Fellow Daoist An Xi Chen is here, right? Please take a seat."
An Xi Chen hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his fists, "Junior An Xi Chen, an elder of the Inferno Prison Devil Race's vanguard, greets Senior.
Yi Tian didn't answer directly. Instead, he turned to Hua Yulin and said, "You can leave first. I have something to say to An Xi Chen."
Hua Yulin naturally knew Yi Tian's temper. He hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, "Your subordinate will take his leave."
After he left, An Xi Chen obviously felt a little restless. The cultivator in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen him. Moreover, the spiritual pressure on his body didn't fluctuate at all. He was just like an ordinary mortal. However, An Xi Chen knew that he was a genuine Unity Stage cultivator. In terms of cultivation, he should be much higher than Leng Xu of the Ice Demon Clan. In terms of identity, he should be a well-known figure in the Spirit Realm's three sects.
It was just that he didn't know why such a big shot wanted to see him. Speaking of which, An Xi Chen was very nervous at this time.
After a while, he heard Yi Tian say, "Fellow Daoist An, are you not going to take a seat?"
"There's no place for me to sit in front of Senior. I'll stand and reply," An Xi Chen replied respectfully.
"Oh, it's my identity that scared you," Yi Tian said with a faint smile, "Then I'll change my appearance to talk to you. I think you'll remember a lot of things from the past."
After he finished speaking, the spirit energy around Yi Tian's body suddenly transformed into demonic origin power, and his entire person changed from top to bottom. After three breaths, Yi Tian transformed into his demonic cultivator state. He turned around and smiled. "It's been a long time since we last met. Fellow Daoist An, how have you been?"
"You're Yi Tian? Are you a spirit cultivator or a demonic cultivator?" An Xi Chen asked in surprise.
"That's me." Yi Tian smiled faintly. "Fellow Daoist An, please take a seat first. We haven't met for a long time. I do have a lot of questions to ask you."
An Xi Chen's expression eased a little. He turned around and sat down on the first seat. Then, he said, "Brother Yi, what is your true identity?"
Hearing this, Yi Tian understood. It seemed that An Xi Chen was still outside the center of power of the Flaming Prison Demon Clan. He had already revealed his identity to Yan Tong. After that, Granny Yang and the Flaming Prison Emperor's Uncle Yan Lei knew.
From the looks of it, An Xi Chen did not receive this news in advance. Instead, he proved that he was not truly accepted into the Flaming Prison Demon Clan. Upon thinking of this, Yi Tian could not help but secretly feel that it was not worth it. He had worked hard for the Flaming Prison Demon Clan for so long, yet he was not accepted. How unfortunate.
"I'm a spirit cultivator. A thousand years ago, I went to the Demon World on a mission. However, I used my real name when I traveled the Demon World. Actually, my true identity is the new Sect Master of the Li Fire Sect. "Yi Tian smiled.
An Xi Chen did not seem too surprised. After calming himself down, he said, "I've heard of the Li Fire Sect Master's name before. However, I didn't believe it. After all, you did not come out alive from the Demon World's abyss. We all thought that you had perished there."
Speaking of the trip to the Demon World's abyss, it was also the last time he said goodbye to An Xi Chen. Thinking back, it had been a long time. Yi Tian nodded and said, "That trip to the Demon World was the end of my mission. During that time, I encountered the Great Demon Sage Bao Chi's avatar and almost died there."
"Sect Master Yi is indeed blessed. I believe you are also a person with great luck. You are naturally very lucky to be able to escape from the hands of a Mahayana cultivator," An Xi Chen echoed.
He turned his head to size up An Xi Chen. He saw that his cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Spirit Severing stage. Compared to the past, it was only a slight increase of one stage. However, he heard from Hua Yulin that he was a mid-stage Spirit Severing stage cultivator. It seemed that something had happened to him recently.
After a while, Yi Tian smiled and said, "I see that Daoist An has just advanced. At the late stage of the Spirit Severing stage, you can already reach the Unification stage."
An Xi Chen shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Sect Master Yi, please don't make fun of me. Compared to you, my cultivation speed is worlds apart."
"Daoist An, you're wrong." Yi Tian interrupted him and said, "Everyone's circumstances are different, so their achievements are also very different. You can't judge based on your current cultivation level. As long as your Dao heart is strong, you will definitely be able to continue on your Dao path in the future. "
"Sect Master Yi is right. Originally, I was stuck at the mid-stage of the Spirit Severing stage for a thousand years. I participated in the invasion to find an opportunity to break through," An Xi Chen explained.
"I can understand. Although your opportunity to break through came late, it doesn't mean that your future achievements will be bad," Yi Tian said.
Hearing this, An Xi Chen shook his head and said, "Actually, I have seen through it all these years. As a solo cultivator, no matter how hard I work for the Flaming Prison Imperial Court, I will never be recognized by them. As the saying goes, 'Those who are not of my race will have different intentions'. They have always been guarding against me. In this life, Sect Master Yi is one of my friends. Speaking of which, I am very lucky. "
Knowing that this was from the bottom of his heart, Yi Tian couldn't help but sigh. From his words, it seemed that he wasn't very interested in the Flaming Prison Imperial Court. Then, he asked, "Then what do you plan to do next? Do you plan to return to the Flaming Prison Imperial Court or continue to be a solo cultivator? "
An Xi Chen's eyes dimmed as he thought for a moment before replying, "To be honest, I'm extremely disappointed in the Flaming Prison Imperial Court. Originally, those old and rotten forces controlled the imperial court. With the Flaming Prison Devil Emperor suppressing them, it's natural that the younger generation can't stand out."
"What about Concubine Yan?" Yi Tian suddenly changed the topic and asked, "She is the next Flaming Prison Empress. She should help you more or less, right?"
"Young Master Yan Fei is very fond of me. Most of it is because of you." An Xi Chen's eyes lit up when he mentioned Concubine Yan. "Those old people in the vanguard army of the Demon Spine Mountain have now become Young Master Yan Fei's right-hand men. It's just that the situation in the Flaming Prison Imperial Court has changed too quickly. If Young Master Yan Fei wants to be promoted, she must raise her cultivation to the Unification Stage first."
Knowing what he meant, Yi Tian thought for a while and sighed helplessly. Concubine Yan Fei was obsessed with power, but she didn't know her own cultivation. It should be known that power was completely dependent on one's own strength. If her cultivation wasn't at the Unification Stage, she would have to rely on the Demon Emperor or Imperial Uncle's power to suppress the nobles in the imperial court.
When she met Yang Momo during the Demon Disaster War, she probably had the same concerns, so she braced herself and came to find him directly.
The two fell silent. An Xi Chen saw that he was deep in thought and didn't dare to ask. Yi Tian knew what he was thinking. After a while, he recovered and asked, "Why didn't you retreat from the realm gate with the Demon Race army this time?"
"At that time, the Demon Race army was defeated. The leading Demon Race army was almost trampled and scattered by their own people." An Xi Chen recalled. "In the end, it was the Flaming Prison Imperial Uncle, Yan Lei, who came out and recruited them again. After that, they took the first warship to retreat."
"What about you?" Yi Tian asked.
"At that time, the Spirit Cultivator Alliance attacked too hastily. In addition, the Dark Night Demons, Flying Rakshasa Demons, Abyss Demons, and Ice Demons who were originally stationed at the front suddenly retreated together, blocking the entire passageway between the realms," An Xi Chen said.
Yi Tian firmly believed that the return of these races was mostly due to him adding fuel to the fire. He just didn't expect that there would be so many repercussions from the Demon Race army's defeat.
Then, he heard An Xi Chen say, "At that time, I was ordered to cover the retreat. After receiving the order from the Flaming Prison Imperial Uncle, I realized that I had been completely abandoned. Those cultivators who stayed behind to cover the retreat were mostly Demon Race itinerant cultivators."
"I didn't expect that after working so hard to be loyal to the Flaming Prison Imperial Court, you would be abandoned in the end." Yi Tian sighed. "Even if you return to the Demon World, where will you go to settle down?"
"I will definitely not go to the Flaming Prison Demon Race." An Xi Chen sighed. "At most, I will go back to being an itinerant cultivator."
"That's not right." Yi Tian said disdainfully. "You should know that the cultivation resources in the Demon World are all controlled by the seven major races. If you are an itinerant cultivator, it is not impossible for you to obtain enough resources to advance to the Body Fusion stage, but it will be extremely difficult."
"Do I have to go back to the Flaming Prison Imperial Court? Even so, I will not be able to enter the center of power. Sooner or later, I will be abandoned," An Xi Chen said angrily.
"You definitely can't go to the Flaming Prison Demon Race. As for the Itinerant Cultivator Alliance, it is also not a good choice." Yi Tian's eyebrows twitched slightly. "I wonder if you have ever thought of relying on other Demon Race forces?"
"What does Sect Master Yi mean?" An Xi Chen was also excited. He understood the meaning in Yi Tian's words and hurriedly asked, "Is there any other race in the Demon World that I can find shelter in?"
"The Dark Night Demon Race and the Abyss Demon Race are all good choices." Yi Tian said, "The Body Fusion stage cultivators of these two races have already fallen. The strongest cultivator in the race is only at the Spirit Severing stage. If you can find an opportunity to intervene, you may be able to gain some merit."
Hearing this, An Xi Chen's eyes lit up. He turned to look at Yi Tian. After a while, he asked tentatively, "I wonder if the fall of the Body Fusion stage cultivators of these two races has anything to do with Sect Master Yi?"
"What do you think?" Yi Tian smiled and asked in return.
Some things were not good to be too obvious. At least An Xi Chen was an understanding person. He immediately understood when he saw Yi Tian's expression. Then, he lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "These two races are not the most ideal choice. But if I have to make a choice, I will still go to the Dark Night Demon Race. At least those female demons are easier to deal with. Moreover, the new Matriarch An Si's foundation in the race is not stable. She is unable to grasp the power in her hands. This is the most advantageous place for me."
"You really have a good eye for people. That's right. Matriarch An Si has just been promoted, so she must be anxious to establish her prestige in the race." Yi Tian said, "Now, most of the power in the Dark Night Demon Race is still in the hands of the Elders. If I go to assist her now, it will naturally be a timely help. If I succeed in the future, I will not be able to escape the credit of supporting her."
An Xi Chen thought for a while and said bitterly, "I also understand the principles behind this. But if I recommend myself, Matriarch An Si may not be satisfied with me."
"This isn't difficult," Yi Tian smiled and took out a jade slip from his storage ring and handed it over, "I once helped Mistress An Xun. You can use this jade slip to connect with Mistress An Xun. After she reads it, she will definitely praise you. After that, you will have to rely on yourself to do what you want."
An Xi Chen did not take the jade slip directly. Instead, he looked at Yi Tian in surprise. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that Sect Master Yi has already broken up the Seven Great Demon Races secretly."
"The situation forced them to make the right choice. I did not threaten or tempt them at all." Yi Tian replied lightly, "If Fellow Cultivator An wants to break through to the Unification Stage, it is definitely a good choice to rely on one of the Seven Great Demon Races. With your status as an individual cultivator, you will definitely not be able to consider everything. If you can be supported by the entire Dark Night Demon Race, you may even be able to have a glimpse of the Unification Stage."
