Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. The loose cultivators of the Demon Realm gathered in Shattering Army City obtained passage tokens. When the realm gate opened again, they passed through the realm gate and returned to the Demon Realm. To them, staying in the Spirit Realm was pointless. It was extremely difficult for them to increase their cultivation without sufficient devilish origin power.
Returning to the Demon Realm was naturally the best choice. However, after the Demon Realm's forces were greatly depleted during the Great Demon Calamity, there was a certain period of vacuum in their ruling power.
Even if these Demon Realm cultivators returned to the Demon Realm, they would not be welcomed by their original race. However, according to Yi Tian's knowledge in the Demon Realm, the loose cultivators of the Demon Realm were no longer as scattered as before. These loose cultivators of the Demon Realm had also formed alliances of various sizes. For the returning Demon Realm cultivators, it was naturally the best place to take refuge.
On the day of their return, Yi Tian personally opened the realm gate passage to the Demon Realm. Then, the Demon Realm cultivators poured in one after another. These people were not ordinary. Some of them were high-level cultivators of the Demon Race. At least, Yi Tian saw with his own eyes that Leng Xu of the Ice Demon Race brought his new wife, Ji Xuan of the Forgotten Emotion Sect, and flew into the whirlpool of the realm gate.
As for An Xi Chen, he cupped his hands at him from afar and entered the realm gate passage. The entire return process lasted for about two hours. Only then did the group of cultivators return to the Demon Realm completely disperse. Unexpectedly, there were some loose cultivators of the Spirit Realm who took advantage of this opportunity to follow the large group of Demon Realm cultivators.
These people had also made up their minds to cultivate the Demon Dao. The people of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance did not expect this. However, everyone had their own ambitions. If they were allowed to leave, these disloyal spirit cultivators would sooner or later cause trouble in the Spirit Realm. It was better to let them leave and save a lot of trouble.
In addition, a strange scene appeared in Shattering Army City. Not all the Demon Realm cultivators returned to the Demon Realm through the realm gate passage. There were still many who stayed behind. These cultivators were all loose cultivators of the Demon Realm. To them, it was a good thing to live in Shattering Army City. Moreover, many of them spent a large amount of spirit stones to buy tickets to the Demon Realm or other realms.
There were also quite a few who attached themselves to the caravans of the other world and became their bodyguards. The Spirit Cultivator Alliance had no right to directly recruit these cultivators. In order to make it easier to manage, the Spirit Cultivator Alliance took action to identify the remaining devil cultivators.
On the second day after the Devil Realm Return Ceremony, the forces guarding Shattering Army City were reorganized. Elite cultivators from the three sects of the Spirit Realm were stationed here all year round to assist Xi Tianying in handling government affairs. At the same time, the area within a radius of five thousand miles around Shattering Army City was under their jurisdiction. All the caravans from other realms had set up outposts in Army Shattering City. The cultivators from the Three Lower Realms and the Devil Realm could only move about in the area under the jurisdiction of Army Shattering City.
Once they appeared outside this area, the cultivators of the Spirit Realm had the right to directly kill them. Even if they were not strong enough, they could inform the upper sects or the people of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance. When the time came, there would naturally be high-level cultivators who would take action to deal with these people.
On the second day, the Spirit Cultivator Alliance's headquarters issued the harshest order in history. Aside from the cultivators in charge of overseeing the Spirit Realm, all Deity Transformation cultivators and above were ordered to begin a thorough investigation of the Spirit Realm.
The depth of the investigation this time was particularly rare. In particular, the Spirit Cultivator Alliance's Alliance Master, Zheng Tingyun, personally led the cultivators of the three sects as the backbone and divided them into ten teams to clean up the remaining devil cultivators in the Spirit Realm.
Aside from the areas in Shattering Army City, all devil cultivators who appeared in other places were detained and brought back to the Spirit Cultivator Alliance, regardless of whether they were dead or alive. Moreover, all the major cultivation cities in the Spirit Realm were on high alert. When the city lords received orders from their sects, they began to strictly interrogate the cultivators who came and went. This was especially true for the foreign cultivators who had remained in the areas where the other races had gathered.
There were also the devil cultivators who had not been arrested on the wanted posters issued by the Spirit Cultivator Alliance. Aside from those who had escaped through the cracks in the realm, the rest were bound to be found alive or dead.
Yi Tian had also received these wanted posters after the handover in Shattering Army City. After taking a look at them, he found that he recognized Dugu Yaoxiang of the Heavenly Devil Clan.
Back when he had just returned to the Spirit Realm, he had already met him once during the battle near the realm gate. Furthermore, he had let him go out of consideration for their past relationship. Unexpectedly, he had not followed the Heavenly Devil Clan's army back to the Devil Realm. Instead, he had remained in the Spirit Realm.
As for Dugu Yaoxiang's figure in Shattering Army City, it was likely because his name was on the must-kill order issued by the Spirit Cultivator Alliance, so he did not dare to rashly come.
If he missed this opportunity to return to the Devil Realm, it would be very difficult for Dugu Yaoxiang to find another opportunity to return.
After looking through the wanted posters in his hands, Yi Tian waved his hand and had the cultivator who had delivered the message take his leave. He then sank into deep thought. Speaking of which, the Heavenly Devil Clan's strength was bound to be greatly damaged after this battle. Most of their Body Integration cultivators had already been killed by him. Now that there was a lack of Body Integration cultivators in the clan, the Heavenly Devil Clan's dominance was bound to be curbed.
Now, Yi Tian was considering the balance of the Devil Realm. It was not desirable for any of the major clans to be the majority. Only by letting the Devil Realm be in a chaotic state of war for a long time could the other realms win the best opportunity to recuperate.
The Flaming Prison Devil Imperial Uncle Yan Lei could become the new commander of the Devil Realm's invasion army. Dugu Yaoxiang had no choice but to make this decision. It was true that among the seven major clans of the Devil Realm, the Flaming Prison Devil Clan was the closest to the Heavenly Devil Clan. He could only brace himself and let Yan Lei take the lead.
However, this way, the Flaming Prison Devil Clan's power would definitely welcome an explosive growth. Even after returning to the Devil Realm, this trend would not change.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, as the Heavenly Devil Clan's Severed Soul cultivator who was most likely to reach the Body Integration stage, Dugu Yaoxiang was especially important at this juncture.
Yi Tian wanted to let him go, but the Spirit Cultivator Alliance's arrest warrant clearly stated that Dugu Yaoxiang had killed several Severed Soul cultivators during the Devil Disaster. If he let him go just like that, it would be difficult for Zheng Tingyun to explain to the Spirit Cultivator Alliance.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian took out the communication jade slip, wrote a message, and sent it out. Suddenly, he noticed a slight fluctuation in the restrictions in the residence. Then, a communication jade slip flew over.
Yi Tian reached out and took it in his hand. He scanned it with his Divine Perception and raised his eyebrows slightly. According to the Leader Alliance's message, the patrol team had discovered the whereabouts of the Heavenly Devil Clan's Dugu Yaoxiang and was pursuing him. Moreover, they had already notified the nearby Body Integration cultivators of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance. He was probably the second to receive the message.
At this time, the itinerant early-stage Body Integration cultivator, Daoist Yulong, had already sent out reinforcements. However, the patrol team was afraid that he would not be able to handle it, so they directly sent a message to Pojun City.
