Yi Tian found Yan Tong in the depths of the Flaming Prison Devil Clan's encampment in Coiling Dragon City. He then snuck in and made contact with him. In a secret room, the two sat face to face and chatted.
After a while, Yi Tian learned a lot about the changes in the Devil Realm in recent years, especially the decline of the Heavenly Devil Clan and the rise of the Flaming Prison Devil Clan. At the same time, he learned from Yan Tong that Concubine Yan was facing a very difficult situation in the Flaming Prison Imperial Court.
Due to the interference of the Heavenly Devil Clan's cultivator Dugu Canglang, the princes who had already submitted to the Flaming Prison Devil Clan had now joined forces to fight against Concubine Yan.
If it weren't for the Flaming Prison Devil Emperor and Imperial Uncle presiding over the situation, Concubine Yan would've had a hard time. But even after hearing this, Yi Tian didn't seem to be tempted to help at all. Speaking of which, he had already helped Concubine Yan a lot in the past. He couldn't just help her deal with everything.
The current predicament was a challenge and opportunity for Concubine Yan. Once she dealt with it well, she could sweep away all the potential threats in the imperial court.
Yi Tian didn't directly say these words, but the meaning behind his words was that it was inconvenient for him to help. Although Yan Tong was disappointed, he didn't dare to overstep his boundaries.
Later, Yi Tian revealed the main purpose of his visit. However, he concealed the fact that he wanted to use the One-Eyed Devil to lead the way to the Devil Realm Eye. For a Severed Soul Stage cultivator, there was no need for them to know too much about the secrets of this realm.
After Yan Tong's introduction, Yi Tiantian learned that the One-eyed Demon, Dutong, was still doing evil outside under the name of the Scarlet-Eyed Demon. Moreover, after the defeat of the Great Demon Calamity, Great Sky Demon Dugu Jimo had already set up a wanted order in the Demon Realm to stop this demon.
However, in his opinion, this wanted order was just for show. Looking at the entire Demon Realm, even the leaders of the seven great Demon Clans might not be a match for this One-eyed Demon. Unless the Great Sky Demon Dugu Jimo personally took action, it would be impossible.
However, what made Yi Tian feel even more ridiculous was that the first wanted person on the top of the Demon Realm's wanted list was actually himself. Speaking of which, when Yi Tian heard this news, he was so angry that he laughed helplessly. He reckoned that Dugu Jimo had issued such a wanted order in order to stabilize the morale of the Demon Realm.
After listening to Yan Tong's introduction, Yi Tian's expression was indifferent as he asked, "How do I get the reward on the wanted poster?"
"Fellow Daoist Yi, you must be joking." Yan Tong was also amused by these words. "Speaking of which, there are many people in the Devil Realm who look up to a great figure like you. Moreover, many of them were left behind in the Spirit Realm after the army retreated, and they could only return to the Devil Realm through the realm passage. Speaking of which, they really admire you very much. Moreover, they also know very well that this arrest warrant is not just for show. Who would really dare to mess around with you? "
"What about the reputation of the One-eyed Demon? He is in the Devil Realm, and I don't think he will easily leave this realm. "Yi Tian asked.
"In the early years, there was a lot of news about the whereabouts of the One-eyed Demon. Dugu Yaoxiang of the Heavenly Devil Clan also formed a mobile troop under the instructions of the Great Heavenly Devil. All of them were Unification Stage cultivators, and they were specially made to intercept the One-eyed Demon." Yan Tong replied.
"It seems that Dugu Jimo also knows that to deal with the One-eyed Demon, he has to unite many Devil Clan cultivators. Otherwise, such a brainless thing is completely unorganized and won't have any effect." Yi Tian said.
"Isn't that so." Yan Tong continued, "In the first hundred years, there were intermittent news about the mobile troop chasing and intercepting the One-eyed Demon. However, in the recent hundred years, such news has become less and less. Many people think that the One-eyed Demon has already been intercepted and no one knows where he is now."
"Absolutely impossible." Yi Tian said firmly, "Let's not talk about the fact that there are no signs of the arrest warrant being removed. Just based on my understanding of the One-eyed Demon, in the Devil Realm, even the Great Heavenly Devil may not be able to make him stay. This One-eyed Demon Clan's hidden methods are not lacking. Even I have to consider carefully before I will not be at a disadvantage."
"Brother Yi, it will be very difficult for you to find this One-eyed Demon." Yan Tong said, "Now his whereabouts are hidden. I'm afraid only the Unification Stage cultivators of the Seven Great Clans know a thing or two."
Hearing this, Yi Tian could not help but fall into deep thought. Yan Tong was right. He had just returned to the Devil Realm and did not know much about the current situation. If he could find a member of the mobile troop to ask, he might have a chance to find clues about the One-eyed Demon's whereabouts.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian suddenly changed the topic and asked, "How do you gather information about the One-eyed Demon?"
Yan Tong said with a serious face, "From here and the other stations of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, there is information that the One-eyed Demon does not dare to go deep into the Devil Realm. He usually stays in the newly built cities of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. Moreover, according to the information I gathered, he is not as vicious as described in the arrest warrant. "
"Is that so? Actually, this should be a reasonable thing." Yi Tian said with a smile, "I reckon that the One-eyed Demon still needs a channel to exchange resources. Otherwise, with his current situation, he will not be able to obtain top-grade treasures. It will be even more impossible for him to advance."
Yan Tong stretched out his hand and took out a jade slip and handed it over, "Actually, half of the reason why the Flaming Prison Imperial Court sent me here is to gather information. I presume that the other six clans have similar intentions in setting up stations here. This is all the information about the One-eyed Demon since I took office. Brother Yi, you can take a look first. "
After receiving the jade, Jian Xiantian placed it on his palm and quickly scanned it with his Divine Sense. Sure enough, this jade slip recorded information about the One-eyed Demon's activities in the Devil Realm. However, after looking at it carefully, Yi Tian also found a problem. There was more information about two hundred years ago. Most of it was information about the One-eyed Demon appearing in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance's cities to exchange treasures.
During that period of time, there was news about the One-eyed Demon every ten years. As for the period of one hundred and fifty years ago, the frequency of news was greatly reduced. Until nearly one hundred years ago, the One-eyed Demon only appeared twice, and the interval was forty to fifty years.
In this way, it increased a lot of difficulty for Yi Tian. After careful consideration, although the One-eyed Demon appeared in the remote areas of the Devil Realm, there was no fixed trajectory to follow.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian's face showed a faint disappointment. He held the jade slip and thought about something in his heart.
Yan Tong, who was sitting at the side, suddenly said, "Actually, Brother Yi, I guess that you are not looking for the One-eyed Demon to kill him, right?"
Yi Tian nodded and said with a smile, "Fellow Yan Tong is right. Although I have some conflicts with the One-eyed Demon, it is not to the point that we will not stop until one of us dies. What's more, the reason I'm looking for him this time is because of a sect matter. It's a secret that only the cultivators of the Devil Realm who have lived for a long time would know. I can't possibly go and confront Devil Sage Bao Chi or Great Heavenly Devil Dugu Jimo, can I? "
Hearing this, Yan Tong's face showed a look of understanding. After thinking for a while, he said, "So that is the case. However, this is all the information I have now. Moreover, the information that the Body Integration Stage search and mobility team has is almost the same as mine. I am afraid that even if you ask the Flaming Prison Demon Emperor about this matter, you will not be able to get a more detailed answer."
"Why is the Flaming Prison Demon Emperor leading the mobility team out at this time?" Yi Tian raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The Flaming Prison Demon Emperor and Imperial Uncle take turns to join the search team. One of them must be staying in the Imperial Palace. It should be the Imperial Uncle who has been guarding the Imperial Palace for the past hundred years," Yan Tong said.
Hearing this, Yi Tian's mind became quite active. After thinking for a while, he said, "I've never met the Infernal Prison Devil Emperor, and I don't know him. However, I've interacted with the Infernal Prison Devil Emperor many times. This is a bit out of my expectations. If I go to the Imperial Palace, I should have a chance to meet him alone. "
Hearing this, Yan Tong said with certainty, "That is true. Imperial Uncle is in the Imperial Palace now. I think you should have a lot of opportunities to communicate with him in private."
"That is not bad. At least there should be more information from Yan Lei," Yi Tian said, "In that case, I will not be late. I will take my leave now."
After saying that, he got up and was about to leave. Yan Tong in front of him hurriedly said, "Brother Yi, wait. If you go to the Imperial Palace now, I am afraid you will be involved in some trouble."
"Oh, why is that?" Yi Tian asked, puzzled.
"It is about the Imperial Princess Yan Fei. Over the years, due to the constant pressure of the Heavenly Demon Clan cultivator Dugu Canglang, the Flaming Prison Demon Emperor is preparing to hold a 'Martial Contest for a Spouse' in the Imperial Palace. He has invited experts from all over. As long as the Demon Clan cultivator is under four thousand years old and above the Divine Transformation Stage, they can participate." Yan Tong said with a smile, "If you go now, don't forget to join in. It will help you solve Imperial Concubine Yan's current troublesome situation."
Hearing this, Yi Tian was speechless. He didn't expect Flaming Prison Demon Emperor to come up with such a plan. Although he wanted to shut Dugu Canglang's mouth, he didn't think that he would make a big deal out of it. He attracted all the young talents in the Demon Realm to the Flaming Prison Imperial Palace. He did not know what the Flaming Prison Demon Emperor was up to.
But when it came to solving Imperial Concubine Yan's situation, it was true. It must be that Dugu Canglang pressured Imperial Concubine Yan so much that she had no choice but to do this. However, her conditions were very interesting. She was under three thousand five hundred years old, which was just enough to include him. As for her cultivation level, it was also reasonable to set it at the Demigod Stage or above. At the very least, he had to include Dugu Canglang.
After hearing this, only Yi Tian's face flashed with a smile. He did not directly reply. At this time, the Flaming Prison Demon Emperor's uncle Yan Lei was in the Imperial Palace. It seemed that if he went this time, he would have a chance to have a private conversation with him.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian replied, "Fellow Yan Tong, don't worry. I am going to the Flaming Prison Imperial Palace to meet with Yan Lei. If there are other trivial matters, I will take care of them."
"Brother Yi is too polite. I will also thank you on behalf of Imperial Concubine Yan," Yan Tong hurriedly agreed.
"Don't be in such a hurry to thank me. I still have something I need your help with," Yi Tian said indifferently.
"Please instruct me, Brother Yi. As long as it is within my power, I will do my best." Yan Tong did not even frown and directly agreed.
The corners of Yi Tian's mouth twitched a few times, and he briefly explained the matter that he wanted to ask of Lin Li. At the same time, he took out a jade slip from his storage ring and handed it over. As Yan Tong listened, his face was filled with respect. He took the jade slip and quickly read through it. After a while, his eyes flashed with a strange expression.
After digesting what he had just heard, Yan Tong cleared his throat and said, "With Fellow Yi's arrangement, could it be that you want to stir up another storm in the Demon Realm?"
"I can't say that I want to stir up a storm. Because my identity is too sensitive, there are some things I can't do personally." Yi Tian smiled and said, "So I want to borrow your hand to deal with it. And with your current identity, it is very suitable for you to be in the middle of the communication. "
"Brother Yi, can you guarantee that the Dark Night Demon Clan's Matriarch An Ling will really cooperate with me?" Yan Tong asked with a doubtful expression.
"Although I can't be 100% sure, I'm still 60% to 70% sure," Yi Tian explained. "Back then, during the great demon disaster in the Spirit Realm, Matriarch An Shao died on the battlefield of Body Fusion stage cultivators. She, An Ling, took advantage of the situation to rise to power. Unfortunately, Matriarch An Shao's power was still too strong, so she couldn't control the entire race with her words.
"Listening to Brother Yi's words, it is secretly consistent with my observation in recent years. Since retreating back to the Demon Realm, the Dark Night Demon Clan has been dormant. They have successively given up several resource-rich territories to the outside world." Yan Tong thought for a while and said, "In this case, the internal affairs of the Dark Night Demon Clan should not be over yet. Even if Matriarch An Ling has the upper hand in the righteousness, she can't control the overall situation."
"At this time, we need an external force to give a push. So I want you to help Matriarch An Ling once to integrate the entire Dark Night Demon Clan. At the same time, you have to start recovering the many resources that were originally lost outside."
"In this way, the Dark Night Demon Clan, which has been silent for hundreds of years, will appear again in the eyes of the Demon Realm. It will inevitably attract the attention of all forces." Yan Tong continued, "In this way, the attention of the Demon Realm can be attracted. At the same time, it can cover the news of your appearance, Brother Yi. In this way, it can officially kill three birds with one stone. It can solve the trouble on Yan Fei and An Ling's hands. It can also minimize the possibility of you being targeted by the high-level cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Clan."
There was a hint of approval in his eyes. He didn't expect that although Yan Tong's cultivation was not much, his knowledge was unusually sharp. He could deduce other things from one example.
And this matter was also very beneficial to him. After establishing a connection with the Dark Night Demon Clan, Yan Tong could naturally benefit from both sides. At the same time, he could easily obtain Matriarch An Ling's trust. The treasures unique to the Dark Night Demon Clan would naturally be easily obtained. According to what he knew, for Yan Tong's current actions, if he could obtain the secret support of a certain race, it would be greatly beneficial.
This was a favor he did for him. With Yan Tong's knowledge, he should be able to detect it.
