Yi Tianyun led them into the Evil Spirit Puppet, using the tokens given to them, and began to search for the elders of the Divine Spirit Race.
There was no difficulty at all. Just by inserting the token into the Evil Spirit Roulette, they could immediately find the elders of the Divine Spirit Race. For safety, they chose to hide in the living rings of Elder Ji Yue and Elder Ji Yu, making it easier to act.
Accompanying Yi Tianyun were Elder Ji Yue and Elder Ji Yu, the two strongest cultivators, who could help if any unexpected situations occurred or if they found the elders.
"By the way, are you really willing to take in our Divine Spirit Race? You should know that we are being hunted by the Evil Spirit Race. If they find your forces, it could bring disaster," Elder Ji Yue said solemnly.
This issue couldn't be avoided. After thinking it over, they decided to bring it up. It was a serious matter, and they had to explain the situation in detail.
"Of course. If you are unwilling, we will still awaken the bloodline of those descendants and teach them some Divine Imprints and martial arts," Elder Ji Yue added.
Elder Ji Yue handled the negotiation since Elder Ji Yu was not very skilled in it. Besides, Elder Ji Yue had spoken with Yi Tianyun a few times and got along well with him.
"That's an exaggeration. We are already at odds with the Evil Spirit Race. Even if you don't join, the Evil Spirit Race will still trouble us. If you join, our forces will increase greatly, which is something we wish for. How could we worry about such things?" Yi Tianyun said without any insincerity. It was indeed the case; having them join would be nothing but beneficial. It wasn't like the Evil Spirit Race wouldn't attack if the Divine Spirit Race didn't join.
However, joining their Three Realms would indeed increase the danger. But with risk comes reward, and if they wanted comprehensive teaching from the Divine Spirit Race, they would have to station themselves in the Three Realms.
Moreover, Yi Tianyun was confident he could ensure the safety of the Three Realms. Especially after arranging everything, he felt it would be a waste of his breakthrough if he didn't go and stir things up in the Evil Spirit Race.
How could the Evil Spirit Race still have the leisure to trouble them?
"In that case, we will impose on you."
Since Yi Tianyun had said this much, they had nothing more to add.
"If that situation occurs, we will take responsibility for drawing their attention away and not causing you any trouble," Elder Ji Yu added. It was their responsibility, and they had to bear it.
"You don't need to say that. Once you join the Three Realms, I will protect you no matter what and join forces with our strong cultivators to deal with them! Joining the Three Realms means becoming part of our family. We wouldn't abandon you like that," Yi Tianyun's voice was firm, and he truly wouldn't abandon them.
Otherwise, it would be too disheartening. Sometimes, it's better to stand and die than live kneeling.
"This…" They were deeply moved. In other forces, when the Evil Spirit Race pressured them, they would immediately offer up sacrifices or even join forces to deal with them, which was a tragic state of affairs.
This was why they were unwilling to join other forces. A little pressure and they would be betrayed immediately.
They didn't say much more, but they remembered Yi Tianyun's words and vowed to protect the Three Realms in the future!
Under Yi Tianyun's guidance, they wound their way through countless divine realms and soon reached a remote area where Yi Tianyun finally stopped.
"We're close. Observe the situation carefully," Yi Tianyun scanned the surroundings, which seemed ordinary, with no marks or signs.
They couldn't leave any marks, as the enemy would recognize them. Leaving marks would be foolish.
Elder Ji Yue and the others brightened and quickly began to search the area for clues. After searching for a long time, they found nothing.
"Is it really around here?" they asked, puzzled.
"It's really nearby," Yi Tianyun said, stepping on a certain area and drawing a circle in the dirt. "It should be hidden below here."
"Hidden here?" They quickly approached, staring at the area and examining it closely. After a moment, Elder Ji Yue clapped her hands in surprise. "It really is here, marked with the Divine Spirit Race's Concealment Divine Array, which only our elders can inscribe."
Elder Ji Yue began pacing around the array. After a certain number of steps, the ground slowly opened, revealing a large hole.
Without hesitation, they jumped in, with Yi Tianyun following. Once they were all inside, the door closed quickly, leaving no trace.
Earlier, there were some traces, but now there was nothing, making it impossible to find unless one knew the array. Even Elder Ji Yue, who knew the array, needed Yi Tianyun's guidance and some time to find it, showing the difficulty involved.
After entering, they fell straight down from the air, drifting for a while before landing. Before they could stabilize, a powerful aura enveloped them, and a cold light flashed in the dark space.
"Elder Ji Ming, it's us!" Elder Ji Yue and the others quickly shouted.
The aura disappeared as soon as they called out, and the surroundings lit up. In front of them stood Elder Ji Ming.
Elder Ji Ming's face was pale, clearly severely injured. Besides him, several other Divine Spirit Race members lay on the ground, their faces dark, showing signs of poisoning.
"Elder Ji Yue, you found this place…" Elder Ji Ming was shocked. It was such a remote corner, unmarked, yet they found it. It was unbelievable.
"It's a long story. We'll explain later. Are the other elders poisoned?" Elder Ji Yue asked, even more shocked that Yi Tianyun had indeed helped them find the place. Joining Yi Tianyun's force was undoubtedly the right decision.
"Yes, they're all poisoned. I'm slightly better off. I planned to wait until we improved before taking them back, but you found us first. How are things with the Evil Spirit Race? Have they left?" Elder Ji Ming asked.
"Well… they're all dead," Elder Ji Yue smiled.
"Dead?" Elder Ji Ming was delighted. "Did someone rescue you, or did you use some method to deal with them?"
"No, it was all thanks to this young man. He saved us, rescued many clansmen, and killed those Evil Spirit Race members," Elder Ji Yue said, still feeling it was unbelievable, like a dream.
A mighty Divine Spirit Race being saved by one person—how could it not feel like a dream?
