"Did the disciples of the Sword Alliance, Kaitian Sect, Yang Xian and others part ways with Ye Tian? None of the disciples of the Dan Alliance showed up? Ye Tian led six people alone to Wanku Mountain? Huh, how can a mere weapon cultivator convince the crowd? He is looking for death, hahaha..."
"Ye Tian entered the Demon Sect alone and was captured by the wild demon? God helps me, God helps me!"
"What? Ye Tian ran away? The Demon Sect failed to recover Ye Tian? This group of trash from the Demon Sect, I sent Ye Tian into their hands, but they haven't caught them yet. Damn, bastard!"
Prince Ji Tianming was so angry that he never expected that Ye Tian could escape from a certain death situation and ascend to heaven.
A few days later, the demon-killing team returned in glory and were welcomed by the people of Yuancheng. They became heroes in the hearts of countless people, especially the captain Ye Tian, who was worshiped by the people and became extremely popular.
Even though Ji Tianming was very unhappy, he had to pretend to be "happy with the people" and led all the civil and military officials to warmly receive the demon-killing team in the East Palace.
The disciples of Jianmeng and Kaitian Sect did not follow them to Yuancheng. Only ten people from Yunlu Academy entered the East Palace.
"Ye Tian, I am very relieved to see you return safely. I received intelligence earlier that you were captured by the Demon Sect, and I am really worried. Fortunately, it was all a false alarm."
"This time you have made great contributions to the court, and I will definitely reward you one by one."
Ji Tianming assumed the posture of supervising the prince.
Ye Tian was unfazed, looked at Meng Nanyan and said, "Miss Meng, please present the map to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Meng Nanyan nodded, took out the map and presented it, and introduced: "Your Highness, this is the internal map of the Demon Sect. Please take a look at it."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole court was shocked.
Danzhou has sent many troops to explore Wanku Mountain but all have failed, and the details of the Demon Sect have not yet been found out.
Ye Tian led the demon-killing team to draw the internal map of the demon sect in just a short time. This must be too efficient.
Immediately, someone jumped out to raise questions.
Among them, the one who danced the most happily was Zhang Changhe, the prince's confidant.
"Ye Tian, you have only been there for a few days, and you were caught by the Demon Sect during this period. How come you have the Demon Sect's internal map? Could you just make a random map to fool His Highness the Crown Prince and ask for credit and awards?" Zhang Changhe asked.
Ye Tian's expression did not change, and all the students at Yunlu Academy immediately quit. Even Yang Xian, who was at odds with Ye Tian, immediately jumped out to refute.
"Shilang Zhang, speak carefully. This map was drawn by all of our demon-killing team members. Are you trying to say that we, the disciples of the Sword Alliance, and the disciples of the Kaitian Sect joined forces to deceive the prince and the civil and military officials of the court?"
Zhang Changhe's face turned red from the rebuke, and he hummed: "Ye Tian was the only one who sneaked into the Demon Sect, and I haven't heard of the rest of the demon slaying team members entering the Demon Sect. How did you draw the internal map of the Demon Sect?"
Meng Nanyan replied: "Who did Zhang Shilang listen to? Could it be that Zhang Shilang still has an informant in the Demon Sect?"
"You... I'm just discussing the matter, don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Changhe jumped, not expecting Meng Nanyan to be so eloquent.
"Okay, Sir Zhang, don't get excited. I believe Ye Tian will give everyone a satisfactory explanation. Is it Ye Tian?" Ji Tianming looked at Ye Tian.
He also doubted the authenticity of this map.
Ye Tian was as steady as a mountain and explained his plan.
After hearing this, all civil and military officials in the court praised Ye Tian for his foresight and extraordinary intelligence.
Now, Prince Ji Tianming can no longer question the authenticity of this map.
Questioning Ye Tian again is equivalent to questioning the entire thirty members of the demon-killing team. Of these thirty members, ten are from Yunlu Academy, ten are from Sword Alliance, and ten are from Kaitian Sect.
Ji Tianming would not be stupid enough to offend so many key and important people at once.
Zhang Changhe, who had been silent for a while, jumped out again.
"Ye Tian, you were clearly captured by the Demon Sect, how come you were able to escape unscathed? Could it be that you were secretly colluding with the Demon Sect?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the whole hall was suffocated.
Ye Tian had long known that the prince's lineage would make a fuss about this matter.
"Captain Ye has the amulet given by Meng Shengqin. How did the Demon Sect get him? He pretended to be captured in order to have a deeper understanding of the Demon Sect."
Meng Nanyan said coldly.
She could finally see that Ye Tian came back alive, which disappointed many people, including the prince of the prison country.
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Meng Yixian to value Ye Tian so much.
Ye Tian cooperated with Meng Nanyan and took out the Taoist Jade Lotus. Now no one dared to question him.
The invisible slap made Zhang Changhe almost shut himself in, and he silently returned to the crowd and became invisible. Anger and unwillingness flashed through the eyes of Prince Ji Tianming.
It was an official who reminded me to look at the map first, which resolved the awkward situation.
All civil and military officials gathered around, but squeezed out the members of the demon-killing team. After seeing the map clearly, everyone was shocked by the detailed map.
Everyone once again marveled at Ye Tian's strategizing.
"His Royal Highness, I would like to ask for your orders. Immediately organize your troops and send troops to Wanku Mountain to wipe out the remnants of the Demon Sect in one fell swoop."
General Zhenwei Yang Zhen asked for orders.
Immediately, many generals came out with the same idea as Yang Zhen.
With the completeness of Ye Tian's map, it is now completely possible to send troops.
"Sending troops at this time is too hasty!"
A civil servant stood up to object.
"The martial arts tournament is about to end, and the dignity of the country is at stake. The imperial court should no longer be distracted from dealing with the Demon Sect. It will not be too late to send troops after the martial arts tournament is over."
"I agree. It is self-evident that the martial arts conference and the extermination of the demon sect are more important. Don't ignore the overall situation for small gains!"
The generals were unhappy.
"The Demon Sect is jumping around at this time because it wants to take advantage of the martial arts conference to cause trouble. If we don't get rid of it now, when will we wait?"
All civil and military officials immediately made a fuss.
The military attache suggested killing the Demon Sect before he could react. If time went on and the Demon Sect received the news and changed the situation, the drawing would become a piece of waste paper.
Civil officials suggested that the martial arts conference should be the priority and not be rushed.
In the end, Prince Ji Tianming made the decision to discuss the matter of exorcism after the martial arts tournament.
Ye Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this was exactly what he wanted.
After Ye Tian left, the Demon Sect has changed its situation.
If the imperial court sends troops now, it will soon be proven that Ye Tian's map is useless, and Ye Tian has a responsibility that he cannot shirk.
But if we wait until after the martial arts conference to send troops, the map will no longer be useful, but it will have nothing to do with Ye Tian.
It is entirely possible to put the blame on the spies planted by the Demon Sect in the court, and completely push the blame away.
The Demon Sect learned through spies that the imperial court had obtained a map that could threaten the Demon Sect. What does the Demon Sect's change of situation have to do with Ye Tian?
"Your Highness, Ye Tian and the demon-killing team have made such a great contribution, and the court should reward them." One of the prince's confidants reminded the prince through a message.
Although he knew that the prince and Ye Tian were at odds, the matter had reached this point, and praise and rewards were indispensable, otherwise it would damage the prestige of the court and the prince.
