Inside the imperial city, Yi Tian told Yan Lei and Yan Concubine his plan. After hearing it, the two of them had completely different reactions. Concubine Yan agreed with his plan, but Flaming Prison Emperor's Uncle Yan Lei was the current ruler of the dynasty, so he naturally had some doubts about this plan.
After all, if this matter wasn't handled well, it would definitely cause the Heavenly Devil Clan and the Flaming Prison Devil Clan to become enemies. At least for now, it seemed that the Flaming Prison Devil Clan didn't have the strength to directly challenge the Heavenly Devil Clan, so even if they secretly played some tricks, they couldn't attract the Heavenly Devil Clan's attention. Otherwise, they would rather not do it.
In fact, Yi Tian's plan was very simple. He would kill Dugu Canglang in the name of the One-eyed Demon Clan's cultivator, Dugu Canglang. This way, he could shift the blame to Dugu Canglang and get rid of the Flaming Prison Devil Clan's suspicion.
After all, the attacks of a late-Body Integration cultivator would naturally catch all of the spectators off guard. Moreover, Dugu Canglang already had enough crimes on him, so he didn't care about adding another one.
However, in order to show his sincerity, Yan Lei naturally had to take out some real materials to attract the One-eyed Demon Clan's cultivator, Dugu Canglang. Although it was Yi Tian in disguise this time, he still had to put on a show to avoid giving himself away. It would be troublesome if someone saw through him.
But for Yan Lei, no matter what, the Flaming Prison Devil Clan had to pay a big price to solve this crisis. Otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to show their sincerity.
Concubine Yan naturally didn't pay too much attention to this, but Yan Lei knew the weight of it. After thinking for a few breaths, he sighed and said, "Alright, we'll follow Brother Yi's plan. In order to show our sincerity, I will represent the Flaming Prison Imperial Dynasty to take out a 'Flaming Prison Fire Velvet Essence' as the final prize. I believe this is a treasure that even Grand Ascension cultivators would be interested in. It's enough to invite Brother Yi to take action."
Yi Tian's eyelids twitched when he heard the name 'Infernal Fire Velvet Essence'. He had only read about it in the Devil Realm's literature. It was said that it was a precious material for refining top-grade fire-attribute spiritual weapons.
Although he didn't need the Purple Firmament Lamp anymore, he still had the Purple Flame Wind and Thunder Fan, which could be fused with the Infernal Fire Velvet Essence to improve its quality.
This item was precious, but it had limited value to him. Perhaps it would be more useful to Great Skyfiend Dugu Jimo. However, since Yan Lei said that he could take out this item, he must have spent a lot of money to find him.
In the end, these things would all end up in his pocket. At this moment, Yan Lei was just writing a check. Once he killed Dugu Canglang and seized the Infernal Fire Velvet Essence, it would be time to cash it out.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian said without any change in his expression, "Alright, then we'll do as Royal Uncle says. Please give me a copy of the rules of the 'Marriage by Martial Competition' so that I can think about how to act after reading it."
Hearing this, Yan Lei hurriedly took out a jade slip and handed it over, "This time, in order to cut down some unnecessary red tape, the venue of the competition will be set in the Infernal Fire Dynasty's Great Lava Pool. The participants will need to compete and collect the Infernal Fire Velvet Essence. This thing is the foundation to nurture the Infernal Fire Velvet Essence. Originally, I planned to make these cultivators do manual labor. "
"Then the winner will be decided by the person who gathers the most, right?" Yi Tian asked with a smile.
"That's right," Yan Lei nodded and replied, "That's why the participants will need to go through an early screening. Except for the participants like Dugu Canglang who directly advanced to the final round, the rest will need to go and test their strength."
"Brother Yi doesn't need to participate in this round. Every race has a specific candidate who can directly enter the final round," Concubine Yan hurriedly said, "I have a Rogue Cultivator Alliance candidate for brother Yi."
It seems that Concubine Yan had already made preparations. If he didn't appear this time, she would have used this method to plant someone in. However, she would probably hire someone to kill him. In the current situation, he believed that Concubine Yan wouldn't just sit and wait for death. However, his appearance made her feel relieved. No matter what, the person she arranged was at most a Severed Soul Stage cultivator. It would be difficult for him to deal with Dugu Canglang.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian smiled faintly and replied, "Alright, with my identity, it's most appropriate to use the Rogue Cultivator Alliance candidate."
"Then what name will brother Yi use?" Concubine Yan asked.
"A real man doesn't change his name. Of course, I'll use my real name," Yi Tian said disapprovingly, "But you can cover it up a little so as not to cause misunderstandings."
Concubine Yan smiled like a pear blossom and replied, "With brother Yi's help, Dugu Canglang won't be able to get any benefits in the 'Joust for a Spouse' Contest."
After that, the three of them discussed for a while. After Yi Tian received the Rogue Cultivator Alliance recommendation certificate from Concubine Yan, he directly left. There were still a few days before the official opening of the 'Joust for a Spouse' Contest, but he didn't want to stay in the Imperial City to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Normally, no one would notice his whereabouts, but Yi Tian was worried about Concubine Yan's appearance at this time. After his sudden visit, he found that her complexion was obviously better than before. If this continued, anyone would be able to see the change in her. In this way, it would naturally be seen through by those who were observant. Especially in the Imperial City, there were many princes who couldn't wait for Concubine Yan to get married.
These princes would naturally keep a close eye on Concubine Yan's every move. If they noticed anything, they would definitely send the news to Dugu Canglang at the first moment.
Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yi Tian directly left the Imperial City. After all, he wasn't in a hurry to make a plan.
However, Yi Tian also felt that it was necessary for him to meet the problem he wanted to solve. With his strength, it wouldn't be difficult to investigate.
After leaving the Imperial City, Yi Tian restrained the spiritual fluctuations on his body and concealed himself. Then, he went in the direction of the Sky Demon Race's relay station. The Sky Demon Race's relay station was the most conspicuous building in the Imperial City of Flaming Hell.
After arriving at the Sky Demon Race's relay station, Yi Tian quietly snuck in, only to find that the cultivators stationed there were at most early-stage Spirit Severing Stage. It seemed that the person in question had not arrived yet.
However, after searching for a while, he suddenly found a trace of extremely strange spiritual fluctuations in the air. Speaking of which, he felt that he had seen this spiritual fluctuations before. It should be a cultivator he had met before.
Moreover, this person's cultivation base was even higher than Yan Lei's, who was in charge of the Flaming Hell Dynasty. A thought flashed through his mind, and then a name popped up. 'Du Tong of the One-Eyed Demon Race,' Yi Tian thought to himself. 'I searched high and low for Du Tong's whereabouts in the Demon Realm. I didn't expect to meet him here.'
Although there was no way to locate Du Tong's whereabouts now, since he could find his spiritual fluctuations here, it meant that he must have been here before.
However, Yi Tian also had some doubts about Du Tong's whereabouts. Logically speaking, he should be being pursued by the joint mobile force formed by the Demon Realm's cultivators. He didn't expect him to be able to shake them off and return to the Imperial City of Flaming Hell Dynasty so openly.
With Du Tong's participation, the 'joust for a spouse' this time would surely have a lot of variables. When he thought of this, Yi Tian began to ponder Du Tong's purpose in coming here. Speaking of which, the biggest problem he was facing now was how to advance. At the same time, he also needed to collect many of the Demon Realm's top treasures for future use.
Following the spiritual fluctuations in the air, Yi Tian walked all the way until he arrived outside the storehouse in the depths of the Heavenly Devil Race's relay station. There were two Demigod Transformation cultivators guarding the storehouse, and the door to the storehouse was tightly shut with a seal on it.
For the current Yi Tian, this seal was like a piece of paper. He could easily enter without alerting the two Demigod Transformation cultivators.
Quietly walking forward, Yi Tian's brow furrowed slightly after his divine sense swept past, but a smile appeared on his face. Sure enough, there was a large amount of Du Tong's aura left on this seal. Although Du Tong was very secretive and could hide it from low level cultivators, it couldn't hide it from him.
A layer of light appeared on Yi Tian's body, and he instantly passed through the restriction on the door without arousing the vigilance of the surrounding guards.
After entering the storehouse, Yi Tian's divine sense quickly swept through the storehouse and found that there were many treasures here. Some of them were even heaven-grade treasures. If he took them outside, they would naturally attract the attention of Demigod Transformation cultivators.
However, these things were useless to Body Integration cultivators. He believed that Du Tong didn't find anything he wanted.
However, Yi Tian's gaze didn't drop. After searching with his divine sense, he followed the spiritual fluctuations left behind by Du Tong and found a few shelves where treasures were stored. After sweeping through them with his divine sense, he found that Du Tong seemed to be looking for extreme yang treasures. In particular, his aura was left near the 'Devil Sun Flower', 'Devil Flame Essence Refinement', and 'Devil Essence Iron'.
After walking over, Yi Tian began to ponder. It was clear that Du Tong was looking for some high grade treasures. Although he didn't know what Du Tong wanted to do, it was definitely something important.
Moreover, from the spiritual fluctuations left behind, Du Tong hadn't left for more than three days. In that case, it was quite surprising that the Flaming Prison Devil Clan's' joust for a spouse 'had attracted Du Tong.
After searching through the storehouse of the Heavenly Fiend Race's relay station, Yi Tian did not find any other traces of the One-eyed Fiend cultivator. After making sure that he didn't miss anything, he quietly broke through the restriction barrier on the other side of the storehouse and left.
After arriving in the outside world, Yi Tian felt that his trip to the Flaming Prison Imperial Capital wasn't in vain. However, now that Du Tong had concealed himself, it was very troublesome for him to blend in with a large number of low level cultivators.
Speaking of which, in order to not expose his identity, he couldn't use his divine sense to spy. Moreover, once he extended his divine sense, it was bound to alert some of the more talented cultivators. Speaking of which, Du Tong's strength wasn't as strong as his, but he was very knowledgeable. Moreover, Du Tong was naturally gifted. Who knew if he had cultivated some innate ability of the Du Tong Clan?
Fortunately, after confirming Du Tong's whereabouts, Yi Tian had an idea. After leaving the Heavenly Devil Clan's storehouse, he immediately took out his communication jade talisman and wrote down all the information he wanted on it. Afterward, he released the spiritual energy in his hand and sent it out. With a 'whoosh', the talisman flew straight in the direction of the Flaming Prison Imperial Capital.
Less than half an hour later, a similar communication jade talisman flew through the air and slowly landed near where he was. Yi Tian reached out and took the talisman into his palm. Then, his divine sense quickly scanned it and found that it was Concubine Yan's handwriting.
At this time, the Flaming Prison Imperial Capital was about to hold the 'joust for a spouse', so naturally, many merchant guilds were waiting for the opportunity to hold several trade fairs.
According to the level of the trade fairs, the contents of the trade fairs were naturally very different. During this period, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and the Flaming Prison Imperial Family held large-scale auctions. The materials provided were the most attractive.
These trade fairs were naturally divided into low, mid, and high levels. The high level trade fairs were mainly held for Severed Soul Stage cultivators. Speaking of which, this was the highest level trade fair that could be held in the city at this time.
Yi Tian thought about it and decided to try his luck. His purpose wasn't to trade, but to use this opportunity to meet Du Tong of the Du Tong Clan.
It was clear that Du Tong was looking for some yang attribute material, but he didn't know where he was going. From Concubine Yan's communication jade talisman, he learned that the two trade fairs for Severed Soul Stage cultivators required a special identity token to enter.
He wasn't too interested in the trade fairs held by the Flaming Prison Imperial Family. After all, many people in the imperial family had seen him before. Moreover, although he had changed his appearance, it was inevitable that those who were familiar with him would recognize him.
After thinking about it, he decided to try his luck at the Rogue Cultivator Alliance's auction. Moreover, he had some good materials in his hands that could be used as bait. If Du Tong was there, as long as he made a sound, he would definitely be found out.
After thinking about it, his figure flashed and directly rushed toward the Rogue Cultivator Alliance's residence in the city. During this time, he also took out the aura concealing cloak to cover his body so that others wouldn't see his original body in the appearance of a Heavenly Demon. Not long after, he arrived there. With Concubine Yan's token in his hand as proof of identity, he naturally won the trust of the deacon at the gate.
Then he followed the deacon all the way to a private venue in the depths of the residence. Yi Tian didn't beat around the bush and softly said that he wanted to sell a yang attribute material from the Infernal Realm.
