In the past seven or eight years, Heaven's Will City had become very busy. The number of foreign cultivators coming and going had increased by a lot, and the medicinal pills, spirit artifacts, and even precious materials on the market had gradually become more and more popular.
Some people with ulterior motives had begun to hoard all sorts of materials in private. Everyone knew that the Myriad Islands Sea Region was in turmoil again. Thinking about it, the most unstable factor in the Myriad Islands Sea Region was the sudden rise of the Imperial Corpse Sect. From the looks of it, the two sides were about to have a big fight.
Yi Tian had also seen all of this through the 'Eye of Truth' outside the cave, until one day many years later, he suddenly saw that the law enforcement team of Heaven's Will City seemed to have begun to pull in strong men.
Any store that opened a shop in Heaven's Will City would more or less need to send cultivators to report to the City Lord's Mansion. As for those rogue cultivators on the streets, they were directly intercepted by the law enforcement team and forcefully dragged to the City Lord's Mansion.
Not only that, even those rogue cultivators who rented caves in the western region were directly interrupted by the law enforcement team. There were more than a hundred of those rogue cultivators' caves, and the rogue cultivators who came out of them were of different levels, ranging from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Jin Dan stage.
However, the leader of the law enforcement team was a Yuanying cultivator, who seemed to be an elder of Heaven's Will City. Therefore, even if the rogue cultivators were angry, they did not dare to act up in front of the Yuanying cultivator.
Yi Tian watched as this group of people started to knock on doors from the foot of the mountain. At this speed, they would find him in a few hours. He smiled in his heart. Since Zi Wushang had made such a bad move, he might as well mix in and see what he wanted to do.
After thinking about it, he stretched out his hands and formed a seal in front of his chest. Using the Thousand Faces Technique, he instantly changed his twenty-year-old face into that of a thirty-year-old Confucian scholar.
Then, he suppressed his cultivation to the late Foundation Establishment stage. Ever since he had advanced to the middle Yuanying stage, he had a better understanding of his own spiritual energy. His control of spiritual pressure was far better than before. Although he didn't know if that Nascent Soul cultivator could sense it, Yi Tian still wanted to give it a try.
Not long after, he heard a sound coming from outside the door. Yi Tian immediately stood up and slowly walked to the entrance of the cave to open the restriction. Outside was a group of members of the law enforcement team of Heaven's Will City, led by a Jin Dan cultivator.
Perhaps the Yuanying Elder would only appear to deal with those Jin Dan rogue cultivators. As for these Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, he would only send Jin Dan deacons to recruit them.
After waiting for the members of the Law Enforcement Team to explain the situation, Yi Tian followed their instructions and tidied up the cave and ran straight to the Law Enforcement Point of Heaven's Will City to gather.
Along the way, he noticed that quite a few cultivators had worried looks on their faces. Some of the more well-informed cultivators were discussing the matter in private.
Of Yuanying of Yuanying of of the of, Yuanying of the Yu..............
The reason was that ever since the ancestor of the Imperial Corpse Sect, Cui Zhenzhen, came out of the Myriad Islands Heavenly Domain City, he had been expanding his sect's territory. Furthermore, all the cultivators who went to attack the other party were either killed or captured alive, and they were all refined into battle corpses.
Especially in recent years, it was said that Zi Wushang had led the cultivators of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance to encircle and annihilate them. In the end, Cui Zhenzhen avoided the battle and used the refined corpses to sneak attack the endless logistical army, playing around with the punitive forces.
The sea area where the Imperial Corpse Sect was located had also been set up with an extremely powerful formation. Even the Yuanying Elders who had been sent by the Rogue Cultivator Alliance had fallen into it.
Zi Wushang seemed to have done nothing, and in the end, he had no choice but to withdraw the majority of his troops. Yi Tian also understood what happened next. Heaven's Will City and Blood Fiend Cave had reached an agreement, preparing to pincer attack from the north and south and kill Cui Zhenzhen within the range of the Imperial Corpse Sect's control.
After understanding the details, Yi Tian scoffed at them. If Cui Zhenzhen was so easy to deal with, Qi Shanyun wouldn't have used the crystal coffin to trap him. In terms of strength, neither Zi Wushang nor Jiang Tiancheng were his match. Only by joining forces would they have a chance of winning.
After running to the Law Enforcement Hall of Heaven's Will City to receive a jade token, Yi Tian was informed that all the Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivators would take the Assault Boat to the outpost base in three days. During this period of time, everyone could be considered to be preparing for departure. Everyone could go to the shops in Heaven's Will City to replenish the materials they needed, but they could not leave the city.
Three days later, if they could not arrive at the gathering point on time, the law enforcement team would come to look for them. At that time, they would be directly incorporated into the first attack formation. Yi Tian knew that this must be one of those cannon fodder teams.
He didn't mind it at all. After taking the jade token, he walked straight to the shop of the Wonderful Treasure House. Back then, he still had an agreement with Gu Baichuan, but he didn't know how he was doing now. If this line was broken, he would have to find another way back to the Tian Lan Continent.
Not long after, they arrived in front of the branch of the Wonderful Treasure House. At this time, there was a tide of people, and most of the people who came were Rogue Cultivators. After Yi Tian walked into the shop, he found that there were several customers standing in front of each counter. Listening to their conversation, they were all buying treasures.
Now that the situation was unclear, these low-level Rogue Cultivators were all preparing for a rainy day, trying their best to leave as much protection as possible.
As soon as he entered the shop, Yi Tian directly instructed the manservant to meet the head shopkeeper, Gu Baichuan. When the manservant saw that it was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he didn't take it seriously. However, when Yi Tian took out the keepsake that Gu Baichuan had given him back then, the manservant's expression changed, and he hurriedly brought him to the second floor.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the depths of the back corridor. This was a quiet living room. After Yi Tian entered, he directly sat down. After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, he heard the door creak, and then a tired Gu Baichuan walked in.
When he saw the person who came in, his expression became serious. As Yi Tian removed the Thousand Faces Technique and revealed his true appearance, Gu Baichuan's face revealed a happy expression. Then, he raised his hand and opened a soundproof restriction, and said with a smile, "Brother Yi, I knew you wouldn't die so easily. Are those wanted posters at the city gate real?"
Yi Tian also smiled and nodded, "It's half true and half false. However, Fellow Daoist, it seems that the Wonderful Treasure House has also been implicated in this matter."
Gu Baichuan helplessly shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. This time, the two City Lords, Zi Wushang and Huang Wanting, led two Heaven's Will City battleships to participate in the battle. My Wonderful Treasure House is in the middle of the whirlpool and can't escape."
"Then, Fellow Daoist is also on the list of combatants?" Yi Tian asked.
Gu Baichuan shook his head and said, "As the head shopkeeper of the Wonderful Treasure House, this old man has no reason to participate in the battle. However, the military funding can't be ignored. Nearly sixty years of profit from the City Lord's Mansion is barely enough to maintain the current scale of operations."
"That Zi Wushang really doesn't let anyone go. He knows that you merchants are rich and take advantage of the encirclement of the Imperial Corpse Sect to amass wealth," Yi Tian teased.
Hearing this, the fat on Gu Baichuan's face clearly twitched. Then, he changed the topic and asked, "Brother Yi, what do you think the outcome of this battle will be?"
After thinking for a while, Yi Tian replied, "In my opinion, even if Heaven's Will City and Blood Fiend Cave join forces, they might not be a match for the Flying Female Corpse, Cui Zhenzhen. In the end, this battle will only evolve into a protracted tug of war."
"Then, how will my Wonderful Treasure House deal with this?" Gu Baichuan asked.
