The Confucian Scholars' Theory of Saving the Nation

Jiang Liu returned to his courtyard, washed up, and seeing that the Giant Strength Demonic Ape was still dozing, he ignored it. He left the courtyard and headed towards the Leisurely Abode.

Jiang Liu arrived at Leisurely Abode, he found that the atmosphere Leisurely Abode seemed different today! The martial artists who had been talking loudly before were now all discussing something with angry expressions.

Jiang Liu listened intently for a while before realizing that news had spread from Tian Province that they were going to start promoting Confucianism. This was a good thing, since Confucianism cultivates righteous energy and one can fight against ordinary Ranked Martial Practitioner once they enter the sect.

Moreover, unlike ordinary martial arts cultivation, which requires a lot of resources, the biggest problem is that Confucian cultivation really only depends on talent.

So this is an attempt to suppress the development of Jianghu in a roundabout way and gradually eliminate them, but unfortunately the current imperial court does not have that control.

However, this time, it is unknown who proposed that Confucianism should be the main cultivation method, while other martial arts should be used as auxiliary skills and gradually abolished. This idea was even put into the open.

It is said that only in this way can true harmony be achieved, Jianghu will be free of evil influences, thus achieving true political stability and social harmony.

This offended 99% of the martial artists in the Jianghu, causing widespread public resentment and disturbances by martial artists everywhere. Moreover, the trouble was gradually spreading throughout the country, adding fuel to the fire of the already turbulent Great Qian Dynasty.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu shook his head inwardly. These Confucian scholars were truly out of touch with reality and far too idealistic.

It's obvious that someone is behind this, otherwise why would they bring it up at this particular moment?

Moreover, it spread across the country so quickly, it seems that all forces are starting to get restless. Now even the Three Sects are preparing to get involved. I wonder if the Three Sects have reached a truce. Perhaps the Martial Arts Tournament is just a test.

Jiang Liu ignored their noise and sat to the side, drinking tea and pondering the events of the previous night. He now knew that Corpse Valley, White Saint Society, Lotus Sect, and Buddhism had joined forces to deal with the Wind City Martial Prohibition Hall.

Moreover, their main contact is the Lotus Sect has always presented itself as an orthodox sect, which is frightening.

Jiang Liu thought to himself, "Last night I unintentionally killed three Rank 9 Martial Practitioner. So, I guess I did the Martial Prohibition Hall a big favor?"

Then he thought of the Wang Family. It seems that Wang Jian's heart is also starting to become restless. After all, in this environment, everyone sees the hope of going further, so they are definitely not willing to lag behind.

Moreover, although Wang Jian seemed very honest when facing me, his attitude towards his son revealed him to be a ruthless person.

Then he thought of the Hai family. It seemed that the Hai family and the Wang Family had a close connection. He wondered how far their connection had gone. However, as long as he maintained his strength, he doubted they would dare to have any bad intentions.

Then I thought of the group of women who stayed in Anyang County. I wondered how powerful they were now?

Before I knew it, I had been in Wind City for over a year. Now, less than a month later, it's almost Chinese New Year again. Time really flies!

Right, Jiang Liu suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to buy the Ascension Rankings this year! He then put it down again, since the people on the Ascension Rankings were no longer a threat to him.

At this moment, the people in the secret bases of the White Saint Society, the Lotus Sect, and the Buddhist sect were all bewildered, wondering why their leaders hadn't returned yet after going out to discuss the matter of the alliance.

Did they conspire together and then, driven by lust, go out together for a romantic getaway?

Thinking about it, it wasn't impossible! So no one paid any attention, after all, with three Rank 9 Martial Practitioner together, who could possibly harm them?

Jiang Liu returned to his residence in the courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw the Giant Strength Demonic Ape, who was sitting there sunbathing after eating, just like before. He immediately felt that this couldn't go on.

Jiang Liu used his mental imprint to command the Giant Strength Demonic Ape to follow him, and the Giant Strength Demonic Ape followed Jiang Liu with a puzzled look in its eyes.

Jiang Liu led the Giant Strength Demonic Ape out of the West City Gate and headed straight for the Ten Thousand Mountains. He planned to leave the Giant Strength Demonic Ape in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and whether it could advance would depend on its own destiny and efforts.

If the Giant Strength Demonic Ape continues to be raised like this, it will become useless, a useless Exotic Beast, not even worthy of following him.

After leaving the West City gate, Jiang Liu used the Elusive Shadows to slow down his speed, allowing the Giant Strength Demonic Ape to keep up. They flew all the way to the gathering place before entering the mountains before slowing down.

As soon as Jiang Liu approached the settlement, he found it even more lively than before. Everyone looked at Jiang Liu with curiosity as they saw Jiang Liu leading the Giant Strength Demonic Ape into the mountains.

Jiang Liu paid no attention and led the Giant Strength Demonic Ape through it, heading straight for the mountain range.

As soon as the Giant Strength Demonic Ape saw the forest, it became excited and roared repeatedly, as if the fatigue from its run had disappeared. Jiang Liu realized that the Giant Strength Demonic Ape wasn't lazy, but simply didn't want to move.

As expected, the Exotic Beast were better suited to living in the mountains. When they reached the fork in the road, Jiang Liu used his mental imprint to command the Giant Strength Demonic Ape to leave on its own. The Giant Strength Demonic Ape looked down at Jiang Liu, then looked at the forest, scratched its head, and turned to leave.

Jiang Liu glanced in the direction where the Giant Strength Demonic Ape had disappeared, then leaped into the air and flew towards Wind City.

In the dense forest, the Giant Strength Demonic Ape sat on the ground, gazing in the direction where the Jiang Liu in the sky had disappeared. After a long while, it got up and walked into the depths of the mountains.

When Jiang Liu flew back to a distance from the city gate, he landed and obediently lined up to enter the city.

Jiang Liu paid the entrance fee with the crowd and headed home after entering the city. Passing through the market, he saw that the human market had grown much larger, indicating that the human traffickers' business had expanded.

Looking at those trafficked disaster victims, they were all emaciated and had a blank look in their eyes. You could tell that they had lost hope in life and were now living like zombies.

Jiang Liu sighed helplessly and continued walking towards his residence. He passed through the bustling Wine Blossom Street and arrived at Tang Street, where he saw even more people at Ascension Tower. It was truly a case of two extremes.

Jiang Liu returned to his residence in the courtyard, calmed his mind, and began his daily cultivation practice.

The entire Great Qian Dynasty is becoming increasingly chaotic, with various forces emerging. If we don't seize the time to improve ourselves, even our own life and death will be in the hands of others.

This feeling was extremely unpleasant. The feeling of being casually grabbed by Tianming before was not pleasant at all. Although Tianming had no ill intentions, this was the feeling of not being able to control one's own life.

Jiang Liu didn't want to keep encountering this situation. After all, who knew if someone had malicious intentions towards him, or if they would just swat him like a fly and kill him with a single blow? Who would he then complain to?

Jiang Liu shuddered at the thought of that situation, especially the pain he felt last time in the Ten Thousand Mountains, when a Grandmaster was fighting while he couldn't even absorb any vital energy.

This feeling was truly terrifying, which is why Jiang Liu kept urging himself to cultivate diligently.
