After Xiahou Cangqiong fled in panic, the entire scene regained its calm. After the battle, everyone had used all their strength, so it was time to recover. Unfortunately, Du Ziheng had escaped, and Xiahou Cangqiong from the Tianli Cult had taken advantage of the situation.
However, Yi Tian did not have any scruples. Xiahou Cangqiong had suffered such serious injuries that even if he escaped, he would not be able to recover in a few decades.
On the contrary, Hu Yiyuan's situation was slightly awkward at this moment. The cause of this matter was the Righteous League's Jing Xue. Furthermore, the relationship between the Righteous League and the Li Fire Sect was exposed. Many of the cultivators present could testify, so it was inevitable that they would take action after they left. Especially the Tianli Cult, they would definitely add fuel to the fire and disturb the situation in the Central State's cultivation world.
However, these matters did not have much to do with him, or rather, there was no direct connection for the time being. After thinking about it, Yi Tian put away his avatar and spiritual artifact, then sat on the ground in the square. He took out some elixirs and began to restore his spiritual energy.
About a quarter of an hour later, Hui Yuan and Yun Mengyao slowly walked forward and bowed to him, "Senior Brother Yi is indeed powerful. You have eliminated this fiend and eradicated all future troubles."
"Junior Brother Hui Yuan, you're wrong." Yi Tian said with a worried expression, "I'm worried that this is just the beginning of a sudden change in the Central State."
Yun Mengyao stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Yi, are you referring to the matter of the Tianli Cult's Xiahou Cangqiong collecting the Demonic Infant? With us as witnesses, we will definitely demand an explanation from the Tianli Cult."
Yi Tian nodded silently, but the worry on his face did not ease at all. His eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept past Hu Yiyuan in the distance.
Seeing this, Hui Yuan guessed Yi Tian's concerns and slowly said, "Senior Brother Yi, you don't have to worry about the sect. I think Senior Brother is not someone who wants to fight for power. Just be open-minded about everything. What should be done will be done, and who should do it will still do it. "
Hearing this, Yi Tian turned his head and met Hui Yuan's eyes. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "Junior Brother Hui Yuan is really wise. I was too caught up in it. I really didn't know that I was in the middle of a whirlpool. It's better to just let it happen."
After saying that, he returned the greetings to the two of them and walked straight towards Hu Yiyuan. Anyway, this matter couldn't be avoided. Since it was exposed, he might as well openly admit it.
At the same time, Hu Yiyuan also sensed Yi Tian's movements. After circulating his Qi to regulate his breathing, he stood up. When the two of them were together, he cupped his hands and bowed, "Li Fire Sect's Hu Yiyuan greets the Sect Master."
Yi Tian was only slightly taken aback, then he stretched out his hand and gently raised it while sending a voice transmission to the other party, "Senior Brother Hu, you don't have to do this. I don't care about the position of Sect Master, but Senior Brother Lu has been working hard day and night to revive the Sect. It really makes me feel ashamed."
When Hu Yiyuan heard this, he finally revealed a gratified look. Later on, he looked like he wanted to say something but stopped himself. Yi Tian knew what Lu Jinyuan was thinking when he saw this. However, he had the Supreme Heavenly Mirror as a sect token, so Lu Jinyuan's status as the Sect Master of the Middle State's Li Fire Sect was nothing but a fake.
However, the Supreme Heavenly Mirror needed to be powered by the Nan Ming Li Fire. Back then, his Grandmaster, Yun Zhongzheng, had forcefully controlled the shattered Yin-Yang Dichroic Mirror, which led to his death due to the exhaustion of his spiritual energy.
At this point, Yi Tian understood that even if he handed the Supreme Heavenly Mirror to Lu Jinyuan, he would not be able to unleash its true power. He might even end up in a situation where his spiritual energy was overdrawn. This was something he did not want to see.
After all, the Middle State Li Fire Sect still needed the support of Lu Jinyuan. And at the end of the day, there was no actual conflict of interest between them. On the contrary, their goals were similar.
As for who would be the Sect Master after the revival of the sect, this could be discussed in the future. If he were to advance to the late stages of the Yuanying realm, he would not care too much about the sect's mundane matters. Next, he would focus on breaking through the natural chasm to the Soul Formation realm and ascending to the Spiritual world.
After some thought, he transmitted his voice, "Senior Brother Hu, I'm focused on pursuing the Dao. I'm not too interested in the trifling matters of the sect. As for Senior Brother Lu's revival of the sect, I will naturally do my best to help."
As such, Hu Yiyuan's face revealed a hint of joy. However, he heard Yi Tian continue, "I do not approve of Senior Brother Lu's establishment of the Righteous Alliance as a Dark Hall."
"Then what does Junior Brother mean?" asked Hu Yiyuan.
Yi Tian said with a serious expression, "Senior Brother Lu's concern is that the various super sects in the Middle State will have opinions about the revival of the Li Fire Sect, right?"
Hu Yiyuan nodded and said, "That's exactly the reason why Senior Brother Lu came up with such a plan."
"Senior Brother Hu, please pass on my message. Just say that I will deal with the Thousand Spirit Sect. Senior Brother Lu, please be at ease." Yi Tian replied, "You don't have to worry about Abbot Wu Yin of Wisdom Monastery and Reverend Miao Yin of Benevolent Boathouse. I've already made contact with them."
Hu Yiyuan's gaze swept towards Hui Yuan and Yun Mengyao, who were not far away. Then, he made the connection between the three of them and understood the meaning behind Yi Tian's words. As such, nearly half of the large factions in the Middle State had been eliminated.
Following that, Yi Tian continued, "The northern Snow Palace faction can also be ignored. I've already interacted with the Snow Palace's Fairy Lian Yue. I believe that not only will they not have any animosity towards the revival of the Li Fire Sect, they will even be happy about it."
Hu Yiyuan's face immediately revealed a look of envy. After hearing this, he could guess that the Righteous Alliance's plan of sending Jing Xue to contact the Snow Palace must have been foiled by Yi Tian. However, this was better than forcefully subduing the Snow Palace. This method of making them submit to him was clearly better.
"Then, the only large factions left in the Middle State are the Tianli Sect, Hehuan Sect, and Heavenly Dao Sect. I believe that old man Xiahou will stay in his lair for at least a hundred years before coming out again." Hu Yiyuan analyzed, "As for the Hehuan Sect's Sect Master, Hao Ji, I wonder how they will deal with her?"
Yi Tian turned his head and glanced at Hao Ji who was sitting cross-legged in the distance. Following that, the corner of his mouth twitched as he transmitted his voice, "Hao Ji owes me a favor. Senior Brother Hu, don't worry."
"Then, only the Tianli Sect is left." Hu Yiyuan took a deep breath and sighed, "I didn't expect Junior Brother to have already opened up many doors and secretly contacted these large factions after coming to the Middle State for a short period of time."
"Senior Brother Lu, please deal with the Heavenly Dao Sect. Leave the Thousand Spirits Sect to me. After the matter is done, I will open the seal of the Lihuo ancestral land and move the old enemies back," Yi Tian said lightly.
"Junior Brother is right. In that case, I will pass this message to Senior Brother Lu. I believe that with his ability to see the big picture, he will know how to choose," Hu Yiyuan said.
Yi Tian lowered his head and thought for a while. Then, he suddenly said, "There is one more thing, please pass this message to Senior Brother Lu. After the Lihuo revives, I have no intention of becoming the Sect Master. When the time comes, the Sect Master's token will naturally be handed over to Senior Brother Lu."
After hearing this, Hu Yiyuan's eyes lit up. Then, he stretched out his hands and bowed, "Senior Brother's breadth of mind is not something we can compare to. As for the Sect Master's position, we will discuss it in the future. I will definitely pass this message. I believe Senior Brother Lu will make a decision."
