In the temporary cave abode in Army Shattering City, Yi Tian met Daoist Yu Long, who had specially come to pay him a visit. After both of them sat down, they began to talk about the main topic.
Upon hearing the other party's intentions, Yi Tian smiled slightly and asked, "Fellow Daoist Yulong, why did you come to my place instead of Skydragon Castle to capture the remnants of the Devil Race?"
Daoist Yulong looked ashamed. "Speaking of which, Dugu Yaoxiang of the Heavenly Devil Race is very cunning. He hid in the trading area of Skydragon Castle for many days. When I went there, he actually relied on a secret technique to escape. "
"Oh, there is such a thing." Yi Tian pretended to exclaim in surprise, "It seems that a mere Severed Soul stage cultivator was able to escape from your hands because he used all his secret techniques. I didn't expect the Sky Demon race to have such a capable person."
"Sect Master Yi is right," Daoist Yulong said sincerely, "Dugu Yaoxiang was originally a wanted criminal in the Spirit Cultivator Alliance. He killed my disciple before, so I took the order to take action. However, it's inevitable that people in the alliance will laugh at him if we let him go this time, so I came to discuss with Sect Master Yi."
At this point, Fellow Daoist Yulong didn't mention a single word about seeing a Body Integration cultivator protecting Dugu Yaoxiang in Army Shattering City. Instead, he took the blame for everything. In Yi Tian's mind, this was Fellow Daoist Yulong's tactic of retreating to advance. Since Daoist Yulong had already said so, it wouldn't be right if he didn't take action.
After all, Daoist Yulong had received orders from the Spirit Cultivator Alliance to attack. This time, he had a definite report. Moreover, the Spirit Cultivator Alliance had also sent out a search team. After several months of encirclement, they finally found Dugu Yaoxiang's whereabouts. If he returned empty-handed, then as he said, he would definitely be treated as a joke by cultivators of the same level in the alliance.
Now that he came here, he was deliberately expressing goodwill. After all, there were some things that couldn't be discussed directly. Yi Tian thought for a moment before asking, "How do you want me to help you, Fellow Daoist Yulong? Do you need me to inform Zheng Tingyun?"
"There's no need for Sect Master Yi to step in personally. I believe that Alliance Master Zheng will still be lenient," Daoist Yulong said hurriedly.
Hearing that he could handle it himself, Yi Tian showed a puzzled expression. He glanced at him and knew that he had something else to say. It seemed that it would not be easy to let this matter go.
He then asked, "What other requests do you have, Fellow Daoist Jade Dragon?"
"One of the missions from the Spirit Cultivator Alliance is to capture a mutated beast. It's a descendant of the Ancient Azure Dragon," Daoist Yu Long said, "With my strength alone, I'm not sure if I can do it. Therefore, I'd like to ask Sect Master Yi for help."
So he was looking for help. However, the Ancient Azure Dragon was a spiritual beast from the Immortal Realm. Most of his descendants were also in the Immortal Realm. How could they have ended up in the Spiritual Realm? After thinking for a while, he frowned and asked, "I wonder what this descendant of the Azure Dragon is. Furthermore, it would be harmful to take the life of such a natural treasure."
Daoist Yulong hurriedly explained, "Sect Master Yi, there's no need to worry. That descendant of the Azure Dragon is a single-horned Scorching Dragon Beast. I don't want to take its life either. I only need ten drops of dragon blood. "
"It's not easy to extract ten drops of true blood from a Single-Horned Scorching Dragon. May I know how strong that mutated beast is?" Yi Tian asked again.
"It's about the peak of the ninth rank." Daoist Yu Long said, "It lives in the Blazing Valley in the depths of the Spiritual Realm. It's about half a year's journey from here."
"Logically speaking, this descendant of the Azure Dragon should be of the wood attribute. Why did it become a fire-attribute Single-Horned Scorching Dragon?" Yi Tian asked. This matter could be big or small. He did not want to provoke an ancient mutated beast so as to avoid leaving endless hidden dangers for the sect.
Daoist Yu Long explained, "Actually, I don't know either. I've only investigated it from afar when I traveled to the depths of the Spiritual Realm. That mutated beast is indeed a descendant of the Azure Dragon. However, its mother should be a fire-attribute high-rank spiritual beast. That's why its blood has such an attribute."
"Alright, since that's the case, I wonder if you have any brilliant ideas, Fellow Daoist Yu Long? It would be best if we can poison it and extract its true blood. Otherwise, we can only resort to force," Yi Tian said.
"I have a preliminary plan. I'm just afraid that I might fail. However, I'll still get into trouble," Daoist Yu Long said.
"Since that's the case, I'll take action once." Yi Tian thought for a moment and said, "I'll set up a large-scale trapping formation where the Single-Horned Scorching Dragon appears. After Fellow Daoist Yu Long lures it into the formation, I'll take action to trap it. This way, you can try to poison it and extract its true blood. It'll be foolproof."
"Thank you for your help, Sect Master Yi." Daoist Yu Long's eyes flashed when he heard this. Then, he said, "As for the matters in the Spirit Cultivator Alliance, you don't have to worry, Sect Master Yi. I have a way to get out of it."
Yi Tian smiled faintly and nodded in response. However, he thought helplessly, 'In the end, I still managed to trap him. It's a pity that I was pressed for time and didn't make full arrangements. Now that he has something on me, I only have myself to blame.' However, when he thought about it, Yi Tian also felt a little emotional. He had once seen the skeleton of a Scorching Dragon in the Demon Realm's battlefield. Although the owner of the skeleton had died many years ago, it was still a 10th-level demonic beast.
On the other hand, the Scorching Dragon was a rare creature to begin with. He had encountered two of them in his lifetime. Perhaps there was a definite connection between the two of them. Apart from this, the fact that it was a descendant of the Azure Dragon was very thought-provoking. Yi Tian immediately began to think. Logically speaking, such a spiritual beast from the Immortal World should not have appeared in the Spirit Realm. If he guessed correctly, this phenomenon might be related to the shattered Immortal World fragment.
Initially, he had been searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the Allheaven Immortal Palace but to no avail. Now that such a great opportunity had suddenly appeared in front of him, there was no reason for him to give it up so easily.
Daoist Yulong in front of him had a good idea. He was prepared to ask him for help, but he did not have much foresight and did not explore the hidden opportunity behind it. Thinking of this, Yi Tian pretended to look helpless and said, "Fellow Daoist Yulong, do you still have to make some preparations? It's not easy to release a 9th-level demonic beast."
"Please wait for a moment, Sect Master Yi. Allow me three days to prepare for the journey," Daoist Yulong said.
"Alright, go and prepare. Just send me a letter in three days," Yi Tian replied with a nod.
Daoist Yulong was overjoyed when he heard this. He hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands to bid farewell. Then, he turned around and left. Yi Tian nodded and began to think. Although he was coerced by Daoist Yulong this time, it might be an opportunity on the other hand. He knew a lot about the rumors of the Allheaven Immortal Palace, but this was the first time he had the opportunity to find clues about the Immortal World.
Moreover, Yi Tian had a vague hunch that this trip to the Heat Valley in the depths of the Spirit Realm would definitely be beneficial to him.
