In Blue Dragon Castle, Yi Tian quietly broke through the defensive formation with Dugu Yaoxiang and sneaked back to the vicinity of the realm gate. Later, he sent him into the spatial passage that led to the Demon Realm. This operation took at most an hour. For more than 99% of spirit cultivators, it was completely impossible for them to notice anything strange. However, such actions naturally could not be hidden from Daoist Yulong, who was in charge of tracking them. Moreover, if they wanted to break through the realm gate, they had to obtain the permission of the realm gate guard, Xi Tianying.
If Dugu Yaoxiang took this path to leave the Spirit Realm, then as the realm gate guard, Xi Tianying would naturally be blamed. When Daoist Yulong arrived at the realm gate, he quickly discovered that Xi Tianying was not here at this time. The people who were left behind to guard were the original members of Army Destroyer Mountain. Moreover, they did not have Fu Zhao with them. At most, they could only get within 50 kilometers of the realm gate before they were blocked by the defensive restrictions there.
After Daoist Yulong found someone to ask, his face did not show any expression, but in fact, he had already guessed something. However, rashly questioning a big shot would definitely put him in a disadvantageous situation. Moreover, this matter had not been notified by the headquarters of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance. Since such a big thing had happened, there should be news from the headquarters.
After waiting outside the realm gate's restriction for an hour, he saw the realm gate guard, Xi Tianying, arrive late. After the two of them communicated for a while, Daoist Yulong did not state the purpose of his visit. Xi Tianying naturally laughed it off. In any case, it was fine as long as everyone had a tacit understanding.
Soon after, a halo flew over from the horizon and rushed in front of the two of them after ten breaths. Daoist Yulong scanned it with his Divine Sense and found that it was a communication jade talisman. Judging from the label on it, it should be from the Spirit Cultivator Alliance's Alliance Master, Zheng Tingyun.
Reaching out to take the jade talisman floating in the air, Daoist Yulong quickly read it with his Divine Sense. After three breaths, his expression changed slightly and returned to normal. Then, he turned around and replied to Xi Tianying, "I took the liberty to disturb you. Please forgive me."
"We're all contributing to the Spirit Realm, it's just that the division of labor is different. Seeing as you have important matters to attend to, please do as you please, Senior Yulong," Xi Tianying replied with a cupped fist salute. At this moment, he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble. All he wanted to do was to send this man away as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Daoist Yulong suddenly changed the topic and asked, "I heard that the Lifire Palace's Sect Leader is stationed near the realm gate. This time, I came here to see your face. It's said that Fellow Daoist Xi was his best friend back in the day. I'm also well-versed in etiquette, so please introduce me to him. "
His words were also abnormally sincere, but in Xi Tianying's ears, they were incomparably thorny. There were only four people who knew what had happened here. Other than Dugu Yaoxiang who had left, there were also Xi Tianying, Daoist Yulong, and Yi Tian.
Now that Daoist Yulong had received the communication jade talisman from the Spirit Cultivator Alliance, he naturally wouldn't get to the bottom of this matter. However, he naturally had his reasons for visiting Yi Tian.
Xi Tianying's heart was filled with unspeakable bitterness, but he couldn't refuse on the surface. Suddenly, he heard a voice transmission in his ear, "Tell him to go to the Armageddon City's City Lord's Mansion. I'll wait for him there."
After hearing that, Xi Tianying revealed a knowing smile on his face. Then, he took out a jade slip and wrote a letter of recommendation on it. He handed it over and said, "In that case, please take this letter to Sect Leader Yi in Armageddon City, Senior Yulong. He should still be in seclusion."
He naturally wanted to clear Yi Tian of suspicion by saying this. However, Daoist Yulong in front of him wouldn't believe this one-sided story. There weren't many people who could play tricks in front of him. It seemed that within a radius of 5,000 kilometers, only that big shot could do so.
Moreover, in the communication jade talisman that he had just received, Zheng Tingyun of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance had clearly stated that for the long-term stability of the Spirit Realm, it was better to let Dugu Yaoxiang go than to capture him. Choosing the lesser of two evils, letting him return to the Devil Realm to revive the Heavenly Devil Clan and continue to be in a stalemate with the other six clans of the Devil Realm was naturally the best choice.
Since the leader of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance had said so, then Dugu Yaoxiang would definitely be able to escape. The one who had secretly taken action was naturally that big shot. Daoist Yulong didn't dare to question these decisions, but he also felt that this was an excellent opportunity to pay a visit to that big shot. Throughout the entire devil disaster, the new Lifire Palace Sect Leader had only appeared a few times. The entire process of the battle had been completed under Zheng Tingyun's leadership.
However, those who were observant had already memorized the list of high-grade cultivators in the devil army. At the end of the devil disaster, not a single late-Body Integration Stage cultivator had appeared. The result was self-evident. Naturally, someone had secretly taken action to eliminate all of them.
Forgive me for not mentioning that the One-eyed Devil Clan's Crimson Eye Devil had been a match for Zheng Tingyun and Lu Jianling, but after that, he had silently disappeared. As long as one paid a little attention, one would be able to figure out the trick. Without such a powerful cultivator taking action, who knew when the entire battle would have ended?
Speaking of which, when the Body Integration Stage cultivator from the Heavenly Dragon Castle had taken Dugu Yaoxiang away, Daoist Yulong was shocked. It was definitely not a small matter for such a high-grade cultivator to be hiding near the realm gate. However, after tracking him down, he discovered that the Body Integration Stage cultivator seemed to have evaporated into thin air. After receiving the communication jade talisman, he thought about it carefully and came up with a plan. That was why he requested to pay a visit.
Putting aside Daoist Yulong, Yi Tian secretly excused himself from Xi Tianying and turned to return to the City Lord's residence in Shattering Army City. He then sent a message to inform Hua Yulin, then went to the temporary cave abode where he was cultivating in seclusion. He opened the restriction and sat in the main hall of the cave abode to wait quietly.
A moment later, the temporary cave abode's restriction rippled. Daoist Yulong's voice sounded, "Yulong of the Spirit Cultivator Alliance has come to pay a visit to Sect Leader Yi. Please open the door for a chat."
He gently reached out a hand and pointed in the direction of the cave entrance. Instantly, a one-foot-tall and three-foot-wide gap appeared in the white light barrier. The cave entrance slowly opened on its own. Then, Yi Tian's Divine Sense sensed that someone was slowly walking in. It was Daoist Yulong.
After entering, he stopped five feet away from Yi Tian. Then, he cupped his hands and bowed to Yi Tian, "Greetings, Sect Leader Yi."
"Fellow Daoist Yulong, please take a seat." Yi Tian pointed at the seat in front of him without a change in expression.
Daoist Yulong slowly walked forward and sat down. Before Yi Tian could speak, he said directly, "I was ordered to go to Heavenly Dragon Castle. I passed by this place and came to pay a visit."
"Oh, may I know what business you have in Heavenly Dragon Castle, Fellow Daoist Yulong?" Yi Tian knew that this matter could not be avoided, so he might as well take the lead.
"It's just a small matter. I was ordered to capture the remaining Devil Clan member, Dugu Yaoxiang." Daoist Yulong turned to look at the person in front of him.
