After leaving the Apricot Forest Sect, Yi Tian originally wanted to leave, but he didn't expect that Great Immortal Croak would discover the trace of a cultivator of the same level. Sneaking into the Apricot Forest Sect while Poison Saint was not at home naturally meant that he had to do something shameful.
Yi Tian decided to investigate personally based on his friendship with Poison Saint. He estimated that he would inevitably be discovered if he made a move, so he simply entered the Apricot Forest Sect. Because his purpose was completely different from the last time, Yi Tian showed the jade token of the Apricot Forest Sect's guest elder.
Sure enough, Poison Saint's personal disciple, Man Chao, immediately recognized him and then respectfully invited him into the main hall of the Apricot Forest Sect to receive the worship of the sect's disciples.
Yi Tian was a guest after entering the sect, so there was no reason for him to come empty-handed. He then personally taught the inner disciples of the Apricot Forest Sect the cultivation experience of the Spirit Severing Stage. Later, he also took out three spirit weapons as a greeting gift to Man Chao. In this way, even if Poison Saint came back, he would naturally know what he had done. He had done his best to save face.
After the disciples left, the sect's deacon, Man Chao, stayed behind to have a private conversation. From his words, Yi Tian learned that he didn't have a very detailed understanding of the forces in the Infernal Court. In addition to those big clans, there were many powerful figures. In addition to the Sea Crocodile Dragon that he had seen before, there was also Po Yu of the Three-Headed Hell Hound Clan, Spiritual Master Ta Liu of the Flowing Mountain, and a powerhouse of the Black Dragon Clan.
These people were either rogue cultivators or powerful clans. However, there were not many of them and they lived in seclusion in the depths of the Infernal Court, so this was the first time he had heard of them.
Then, Yi Tian began to think in his heart. Logically speaking, the high-level cultivator mentioned by Great Immortal Croak was not weak and should be among them, but he didn't know who it was.
Among the four people mentioned by Man Chao, except for the Sea Crocodile Dragon, the other three were possible. He just didn't know why this person chose to sneak into the Apricot Forest Sect. Needless to say, he must have a purpose. However, Yi Tian looked at the Apricot Forest Sect. Now that Poison Saint was not at home, he didn't know what could interest a cultivator in the Body Integration Stage.
Other than that, Man Chao also mentioned that the Infernal Court's Six Suns, which appeared once every thousand years, was about to appear. So, he wanted to invite him to help out as a guest elder. Although Yi Tian wanted to find out the whereabouts of that person, he did not want to face the cultivators of the Infernal Court so soon.
After all, his identity was a sensitive one. Fortunately, he was still in the form of a demonic cultivator. Even so, it was better for him to show his face as little as possible.
Seeing the hesitation on his face, Man Chao seemed to have realized something and hurriedly changed the topic, "I also know that it is not appropriate to ask Senior Yi for help, but now that Master is not here and the day of the six suns is approaching, there is nothing I can do."
"Do you know why Fellow Daoist Sacred Hand stayed in the Demon Realm for hundreds of years? There must be something fishy about this." Yi Tian's expression sank as a glint flashed across his eyes, "I hope to understand this matter before making a decision."
Being forced to this point, Man Chao also had an awkward expression, but Yi Tian understood that although Poison Sacred Hand was in the Demon Realm, he still sent news of him back. This meant that he did not want to hand over the foundation here to others. But if he wanted to take action, he must explain the matter clearly. Otherwise, he would not be happy if he was used as a tool in an unclear situation.
Man Chao's expression changed several times, but in the end, he sighed and said, "Actually, Master is avoiding disaster outside."
"Oh, who can make Fellow Daoist Sacred Hand go so far away?" Yi Tian asked with a smile. With Poison Sacred Hand's early stage Body Integration cultivation, to be able to force him to leave like this, the strength of the other party was not weak. He just did not know if it was related to the Body Integration cultivator hiding in the Apricot Forest Sect.
Man Chao then said helplessly, "That is a love debt that Master incurred. Speaking of which, he was forced to go to the Demon Realm to avoid the limelight."
"There is such a thing?" Yi Tian said in surprise, "What is the identity and cultivation of the other party?"
Seeing this, Man Chao could only confess, "Actually, the other party is an itinerant cultivator from the Spirit Realm. Her name is' Yan Nichang ', and she is from the same generation as me, Yao Lao, and my Master, Poison Sacred Hand. It is just that this senior 'Yan Nichang' is proud and arrogant. After defeating Yao Lao on the path of alchemy, she came to challenge my Master. "
"Oh, I see." Yi Tian showed a look of understanding and said, "I guess this Yan Nichang should have been defeated by Fellow Daoist Sacred Hand."
"Indeed, in terms of alchemy alone, her attainments have already surpassed Martial Uncle, but Master took a different path and used the method of making poisons to fuse with alchemy. So in the last competition, he completely defeated the other party."
"Needless to say, he won the competition, but there are a lot of troublesome matters. This caused a lot of trouble," Yi Tian teased.
Man Chao's face was also full of embarrassment, then he said, "My Master knows that this senior Yan Nichang can't enter the Demon Realm for a thousand years for some reason, so she went to the Demon City to hide for a while."
Hearing this, Yi Tian laughed. After three breaths, he restrained his smile and said, "In that case, I will reluctantly share his burden. However, I will say in advance that I will not really offend the many forces in this world. If it is just the Blade Mountain Flame Sea Competition, it should not be a big problem to maintain the previous ranking."
Hearing this, Man Chao was overjoyed and said, "That's good. Although our Apricot Forest Sect is ranked last among the other major forces, those itinerant cultivators and small races still give us face. Generally, they will not come out to provoke us."
"How is it distributed?" Yi Tian asked.
"According to the ranking, the number of people who come will be the same," Man Chao said, "Sometimes, the Sea Crocodile Dragon or Sage Ta Liu will be absent, so their share will be shared equally with the other forces."
"That's good. If it's not shared equally, then what's the point of the ranking?" Yi Tian asked, puzzled.
"This is related to the order of the first selection," Man Chao hurriedly explained, "Naturally, the first person to select will definitely get the better quality Sulphuric Fire Source. There was even one time when the quality of the Sulphuric Fire Source was higher than that of the second place."
"So that's how it is," Yi Tian nodded and said, "Then, I wonder what kind of reward the sect will give me if I take action. You know my real identity, it is not that easy to get me to take action."
Hearing this, Man Chao was shocked. He was the direct disciple of Poison Saint, so he naturally knew what had happened in the Upper Spiritual Nine Realms over the years. Although he appeared in the form of a demonic cultivator, he had already received a message from Poison Saint and knew what kind of existence the person in front of him was. To be honest, it would cost a lot to get an ordinary Unification Stage cultivator to take action, let alone a late Unification Stage cultivator.
