After arriving at the Devil Realm, Yi Tian went directly to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance's encampment. This was the largest gathering place for rogue cultivators in the Devil Realm. As for the city lord, he was only at the Spirit Severing stage.
He could be considered the leader of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, but he was just a mediocre cultivator in Liu Ming's eyes.
After that, Yi Tian secretly snuck into the Eastern Mountain City and went to the City Lord's Manor's Paradise to subdue the City Lord. He found a large number of Rogue Cultivator Alliance's mission jade slips in his storage ring. After careful analysis, he finally locked onto the suspect, Huo Yutong.
Fortunately, she happened to go to the Demon Spine Mountain Range to trade with the Flaming Prison Devil Race cultivators. Yi Tian simply waited in the city. As expected, a few days later, Yi Tian received news that Huo Yutong and the others had returned. Then, he concealed his spirit pressure and disguised himself as the City Governor of Eastern Mountain City, Hao Sha, and went to the City Governor's Hall to meet the three of them.
When Yi Tian entered the hall, he saw that the three of them were already waiting respectfully for him. When Yi Tian stepped into the hall, his Divine Sense locked onto Huo Yutong, who was standing not too far away. However, the clothes she was wearing were obviously made of high-grade materials, which could even block one's Divine Sense.
When Yi Tian saw this, he knew he couldn't use his divine sense to check Huo Yutong's situation. He could only try again.
However, when he said this, the three of them showed hesitation. It was clear that he didn't carefully understand their speech habits when he disguised himself as Hao Sha. Thus, he gave himself away. Fortunately, his cultivation was much higher than the three of them, so he didn't have to worry about them attacking him.
Thus, the three of them only had suspicions, but they didn't dare to say it out loud. Yi Tian coughed to hide his embarrassment. Then he said, "The Demon Spine Mountain is an important stronghold of the Flaming Prison Devil Race. It was originally a stronghold to deal with the Flying Rakshasa Race. How did your mission go?"
The three people in front of him didn't reply immediately. Their gazes were still focused on Huo Yutong. After standing up, this woman bowed and said, "City Lord, after probing many ways, we finally reached an agreement with the Infernal Prison Demons. Afterward, we only need to provide them with logistical support when they attack the Flying Rakshasa Clan. We don't need to go out personally to avoid trouble."
"So the Infernal Prison Devil Race is joining forces with the Itinerant Cultivator Alliance to deal with the Flying Rakshasa Race." Yi Tian had already made a judgment about the state of the Demon Spine Mountain. At this moment, the Heaven Devil Race in the Devil World was busy dealing with the One-eyed Devil Race's One-eyed Devil Race. Therefore, the other Devil Clans naturally took the opportunity to attack each other.
However, none of this had anything to do with him. However, Huo Yutong's words weren't enough for him to ascertain her true identity. After thinking about it, Yi Tian pointed at the other two and said in a deep voice, "You two can leave for now. Go to the City Lord's Mansion to collect the reward for this mission."
Hearing this, the two hurriedly stood up and thanked him, then turned around and left. In their opinion, they could get the reward after completing this mission, so there was no need for more complications.
As for Huo Yutong in front of him, she seemed to be a little surprised by the City Lord's arrangement. Then, she sighed helplessly and sat down gently.
After the two left the City Lord's Mansion's main hall, Yi Tian stretched out his hand and waved gently, activating the enchantment again. Then, he turned his head and glanced at Huo Yutong. Although the other party looked calm, his body was faintly trembling.
Because the clothes she wore could block the prying of Divine Thought, but she was still a little afraid when facing a high-level cultivator. The suppression of cultivation was unavoidable. Even if the other party was really the awakened Liu Piaopao, and her cultivation could reach the level of Grand Unity Golden Immortal in the future, that would have to wait for 10,000 years.
In the current situation, he disguised himself as the City Lord 'Hao Sha'. Even if he only revealed the cultivation of the Spirit Severing Stage, he could already suppress the other party.
For a time, the atmosphere became extremely subtle. Yi Tian didn't say anything, and he only looked at the other party. The atmosphere in the main hall became extremely awkward. Huo Yutong wanted to say something several times, but she stopped herself.
After a short while, Yi Tian smiled. He had already suppressed the other party in terms of aura, and now that he deliberately created an oppressive atmosphere, it should be helpful for the 'interrogation' later. After thinking for a moment, he methodically asked, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Huo accepted a mission during the Spirit Realm Invasion and didn't return until several decades later. Is that true?"
Yi Tian wanted to hit the other party's weak spot. Although there were very few people in the Devil Realm Rogue Cultivator Alliance who would question Huo Yutong's identity, that didn't include the high-level cultivators.
After hearing this question, Huo Yutong didn't change much, but Yi Tian noticed that the other party seemed to be trying hard to maintain her calm. After 3 seconds, she replied softly, "After I returned to the alliance, I had already explained the process of carrying out the mission. I even explained it to the elders in the alliance. There was nothing wrong during that time. I wonder why City Lord is bringing up the old matter today? "
It was obvious that the other party wasn't very confident when she said this, and she was suppressing her anger to reply. Yi Tian curled his lips and said, "When the demon army retreated from the Spirit Realm, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance also turned a blind eye to many things at such a critical juncture. Besides, there were many external factors at that time, so it was inconvenient to investigate the internal affairs. "
"Then City Lord Hao means that you want to investigate what happened back then?" Huo Yutong replied in an unfriendly tone.
"Of course, I always like to investigate things clearly. I don't want to be a fool." Yi Tian ridiculed, "Not to mention, with your strength, you can definitely reach the Severed Soul Stage. I naturally have to check such a person for the alliance."
After 3 seconds, Huo Yutong laughed coldly under the black veil, "When did City Lord Hao become so concerned about the Rogue Cultivator Alliance? You just want to test my background, but don't forget that you are also a person with a false appearance. You have the appearance of Hao Sha, but your true identity is unknown. "
Hearing this, Yi Tian was shocked. He didn't expect the other party to be able to see through his identity as Hao Sha with just a few words. During the conversation, there must be something that he neglected or inadvertently revealed.
However, it was clear that Huo Yutong was still quite afraid of him. The suppression of cultivation couldn't be overcome.
The other party's spirit pressure fluctuations quickly rose, and a black protective spirit light covered her body. Her hands went back into the black robe. She had clearly taken out a spirit weapon and was ready to attack.
Seeing this, Yi Tian sneered. A Soul Formation Stage cultivator dared to show off in front of an expert? She was tired of living. He didn't even put Du Tong and Dugu Jimo, who were both Mahayana Stage cultivators, in his eyes, let alone her.
Yi Tian didn't care about Huo Yutong's actions at all. He revealed absolute confidence on his face and said, "Could it be that you want to attack by force? You have to know that the gap between us isn't something that can be made up with a simple spirit weapon or spirit treasure."
"Hmph, how do you know if you don't try?" Huo Yutong had a serious expression and shouted, "I'm not someone who can be trampled on. If you want me to submit, you have to take out something real."
"Oh, this is interesting." After Yi Tian finished speaking, he snapped his fingers. In an instant, a black vortex appeared in the space between the two. It rapidly expanded and swallowed the surrounding space.
In the next instant, the two of them were in a spatial void. Their surroundings were pitch-black, and they couldn't see the end of it. At this moment, Huo Yutong discovered that she couldn't use the spirit power in her body. Other than her mouth, she couldn't move any part of her body.
Seeing this, Huo Yutong exclaimed, "What kind of ability is this? You're proficient in spatial abilities. There isn't a single race in the Demon Realm that can do this."
"That's because you're ignorant." Yi Tian waved his hand and said, "From what I know, the Heavenly Demon Race's Dugu Yaoxiang can do this."
Hearing this, Huo Yutong's expression changed slightly. She stared at the person in front of her and said, "Senior, who are you? Why are you looking for trouble with me?"
"Looks like you're not stupid. A wise man submits to circumstances." Yi Tian was in a good mood. Although he couldn't confirm the other party's true identity, the spiritual pressure overflowing from her defensive spirit light was similar to the one in his memory.
However, Yi Tian wouldn't jump to conclusions before he figured out the situation. He couldn't force it. If it really was Liu Piaopao, he would be in a difficult position.
The best way was to accidentally expose the other party's true identity. That way, he would give the other party enough face and reduce the misunderstanding between himself and the other party.
Yi Tian's mouth twitched, and he spoke again, "Since you've guessed my identity, I have a few questions for you."
Huo Yutong had a helpless expression on her face as she said, "Senior, feel free to ask. I hope you can give me a quick and painless death after this."
Yi Tian asked, "How did you notice that there was something wrong with my identity?"
"That's simple. That old ghost Hao Sha tried to get close to me several times, but he was defeated one by one." Huo Yutong replied, "Today, I wanted to test you again after you sent my two subordinates away, but I didn't expect you to bring up old matters. Naturally, it is very suspicious."
"So that's how it is." Yi Tian suddenly understood, but he looked down on Hao Sha even more. Fortunately, he still had this person in his hands, so he could deal with him later.
Then Yi Tian asked, "Your identity is very suspicious. It is said that you were called 'Rakshasa Girl' back then. I can see that you are not a Rakshasa cultivator. Then the question is, who are you? Why did you use the identity of 'Rakshasa Girl' to infiltrate the Rogue Cultivator Alliance?"
"Senior, didn't you use someone else's identity? Speaking of which, everyone has their own secrets. There are many things that will not benefit anyone if they are exposed." Huo Yutong argued back.
"You seem to have forgotten your current position and my identity." Yi Tian showed a displeased expression.
"Of course I won't forget, but I am not one of those weak rogue cultivators who can be ordered around." Huo Yutong said, but a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.
The conversation between the two fell into a stalemate. Yi Tian raised his head and laughed for no reason.
"Senior, why are you laughing? Are you looking down on me? Do you think I am talking big?" Huo Yutong suddenly said, "You should know that a Taoist can be killed, but not humiliated. Even if you can use the Soul Detention Technique to control me, you will not be able to get my sincere help."
"Did I say I was going to use the Soul Searching Technique?" Yi Tian said disdainfully. However, after three breaths, he suddenly came to his senses. He looked at Huo Yutong for a moment before a look of praise appeared on his face. "You are indeed a heroine. You are not flustered in the face of danger. Even if you are controlled by me, you are still able to provoke me. It looks like you made the right bet. "
"I wouldn't dare. I was just thinking that with Senior's strength, there is no need for you to lower yourself to my level," Huo Yutong replied coldly. "In that case, Senior must have something else to ask."
"That's right. You are the strongest Soul Formation cultivator I have ever seen." Yi Tian said with a smile. "Furthermore, you have guessed my thoughts. However, even though you have washed away the Realm Crossing Aura on your body, there are still traces of the Five-Colored Tribulation Lightning. You shouldn't be a cultivator of this world, right? "
Although Huo Yutong's body was stopped, a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes. Furthermore, she did not reply for a long time.
When Yi Tian saw that he had guessed Huo Yutong's thoughts, he felt that he had won back some ground. He did not want to use his power to oppress her. He extended his hand and tapped lightly, releasing the restraining spell. As such, Huo Yutong regained her freedom. The spiritual power around her body was once again activated and a protective spiritual light appeared around her body.
Afterwards, she revealed a puzzled expression and turned to look at the person in front of her. After sizing him up, she said, "Why does Senior ask such a question?"
"Answer me first. Then, I will give you a reasonable explanation." Yi Tian said with a calm expression.
"That's right. I am not a cultivator of this world. I am an ascended cultivator." Huo Yutong said.
"It looks like you have made a lot of preparations to overcome the Realm Crossing Tribulation Lightning." Yi Tian suddenly said.
"That is indeed the case. It looks like Senior knows a lot about this?" Huo Yutong said.
"Ascended cultivators are all outstanding talents of their world. In terms of potential, they are naturally much stronger than cultivators of the Devil Realm. I can see that your aptitude is excellent. Your lifespan is less than three thousand years. In the future, you will have a great chance of becoming a high-grade cultivator." Yi Tian said in a deep voice.
"That will have to be done after today." Huo Yutong sighed.
"I don't think Huo Yutong is your real name." Yi Tian probed, "Can you take off your veil and let me see your true appearance?"
"I have already been married for a long time. Furthermore, from what I can see, Senior doesn't seem to be the type to lust after women. Why must you force me?" Huo Yutong replied.
