Wind City's Martial Prohibition Hall Destroyed

Several peaceful days passed in this way, and Jiang Liu stayed at his residence to cultivate, not going anywhere except for his daily meals.

Now, the area around Jiang Liu's courtyard has become a forbidden zone. Whenever a martial artist commits evil deeds there, they mysteriously disappear. Gradually, rumors have spread that a highly skilled martial artist lives there.

Gradually, the entire alley became much safer. The residents of this alley were grateful to have such a guardian spirit.

Many people are speculating about who the guardian is, and some even suspect it's Jiang Liu. However, upon seeing Jiang Liu's youthful face, they immediately dismissed the idea.

As night fell, a sudden loud bang came from the direction of the North District. Jiang Liu leaped out of his courtyard. Looking towards the North District, he saw flames soaring into the sky at the location of the North District Martial Prohibition Hall, with many figures moving about.

Jiang Liu frowned slightly. Who was so bold as to directly attack the Martial Prohibition Hall? Could it be a joint effort by those families? But that didn't make sense.

Suddenly, a thought popped into his head: it must be Corpse Valley leading the way. Or perhaps some other force is acting in Corpse Valley's name? That's not impossible.

Now that the three sects are ignoring the Great Qian Dynasty, Corpse Valley has fewer scruples in its actions. Corpse Valley has always been fighting against the Martial Prohibition Hall, and this force has always been hidden, so it is not afraid of being besieged by the Martial Prohibition Hall.

This time, they're probably going to wipe out the entire Wind City Martial Prohibition Hall and then pin the blame on Corpse Valley. That's why they're acting so boldly, daring to attack the Martial Prohibition Hall so openly.

Jiang Liu changed into his night clothes and headed towards the North District. Before he even reached the location of the Martial Prohibition Hall, a voice reached Jiang Liu ears. "Don't get close, or things will get complicated later."

Jiang Liu turned around and saw Feng Boyun standing not far away on the opposite side. He immediately teleported to Feng Boyun's side.

He asked, "Grandpa, what happened?"

"The Corpse Valley has joined forces with the White Saint Society, the Lotus Sect, and Buddhism to make a move."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu was startled, realizing it was indeed the case. He then asked, "Does the Martial Prohibition Hall have any assistance?"

At this moment, another voice came over, "The Cloud City Martial Prohibition Hall is too busy to help itself, where would the Wind City Martial Prohibition Hall get any assistance?"

Jiang Liu turned around and saw an old man with white hair and radiating vitality walking over.

"Old man Murong, you've come out to join the fun too?" Feng Boyun said to the newcomer.

"Old Feng, you're here too!" Murong Lie said to Feng Boyun.

"May I ask who this young man is?" Murong Lie asked Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu quickly cupped his hands and replied, "Senior, I am Jiang Liu!"

"Jiang Liu! Good! Good!" Murong Lie repeatedly praised Jiang Liu! Then he gave Jiang Liu a meaningful look.

Jiang Liu was confused. What was going on with this old man? He then felt a strange movement in his spiritual sea, and then he was completely oblivious.

Feng Boyun sensed that something was terribly wrong. He knew the Murong Family's situation in the Ascension Tower, otherwise Murong Lie, a Minor Grandmaster, wouldn't have come to Wind City to oversee things.

He immediately interrupted, "Old man Murong, what do you think?"

"Great! What do you think?" Murong Lie replied without hesitation.

"What's so good? I'm asking about Corpse Valley's attack on the Martial Prohibition Hall!" Feng Boyun said speechlessly.

"What does it matter to me whether his Martial Prohibition Hall lives or dies?" Murong Lie said irritably.

"You, you, then what are you doing out here?" Feng Boyun was speechless after being confronted with these words.

"I just came out to watch the show! What does it matter to me if they fight to the death? As long as they don't interfere with my ascent to the Ascension Tower! I'm sure they don't have the guts!"

Feng Boyun looked at the stubborn Murong Lie and really wanted to punch him. He then turned to Jiang Liu and said, "Jiang boy, don't go running around like that, or you'll get yourself into trouble!"

Jiang Liu replied, "Old Master Feng, I know!"

Seeing that everything was alright, Jiang Liu bid farewell to the two old men, saying, "Grandpas, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now!"

Seeing that Jiang Liu was about to leave, Murong Lie quickly said, "Young Jiang, if you have time tomorrow, please come to Ascension Tower!"

Jiang Liu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! I'll be going now if there's nothing else!" After saying that, he cupped his hands in greeting to the two old men and turned to leave.

As Feng Boyun watched Jiang Liu's disappearing figure, he suddenly said to Murong Lie, "What? You want to match him up with your Murong Yin?"

Murong Lie watched Jiang Liu's retreating figure and said with satisfaction, "What? It's not okay?"

"It's not that it's impossible! It's just that you might not know! Jiang Liu is already engaged to my Feng Yue!" Feng Boyun said to Murong Lie with a smug look on his face.

"What?" Murong Lie looked at Feng Boyun in disbelief upon hearing this.

"What's the big deal? It's been almost a year since it was finalized!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Lie frowned. Then he thought about how Jiang Liu's attitude towards Feng Boyun seemed a bit off; it didn't seem like the attitude a grandson-in-law would have towards his grandfather. He knew there must be more to it than met the eye.

Murong Lie didn't say anything more at the moment, thinking about going back to investigate what was going on. He then took his leave and returned to Ascension Tower.

Feng Boyun frowned as he watched Murong Lie's retreating figure, then sighed and thought to himself, "Why is Feng Yue so disappointing?"

He didn't linger any longer and turned back to the Feng Family. Soon after, he summoned Feng Yunshi and instructed him to tell Feng Yue to take the initiative to contact Jiang Liu.

Feng Yunshi had no choice but to agree, knowing that Feng Yue hadn't followed up with anything since her last meeting with Jiang Liu.

The original plan was just to use Jiang Liu to block the Lotus Sect, but now it seems the old man wants to make it a real attack.

Feng Yunshi is really having a headache now, because he had promised his wife that he would break off the engagement soon, but now not only is he not breaking it off, he is also asking Feng Yue to make further contact.

But he had to carry out the old man's orders, even if it was difficult. Feng Yunshi could only walk helplessly towards his courtyard; he had no choice but to ask his wife for help!

Jiang Liu returned to his courtyard and continued his meditation and cultivation. As for the Martial Prohibition Hall, he simply stopped paying attention to it. Anyway, if things got chaotic, someone would eventually clean up the mess; he just needed to leave it alone.

The next day, early in the morning, Jiang Liu pushed open his courtyard gate and saw people in the alley discussing in twos and threes, all sighing and looking as if a great disaster was about to befall them.

Jiang Liu understood immediately. Although the Martial Prohibition Hall hadn't been very active lately, it was still a sword hanging over the heads of all martial arts factions. Now that it had been taken down, those martial arts factions would probably have no more scruples.

How can ordinary people have a good life?

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Liu arrived at Leisurely Abode, he saw the martial artists drinking tea, excitedly discussing the attack on the Martial Prohibition Hall. This was more exciting than ever!

Jiang Liu ate and drank calmly, ignoring them. He only heard that in last night's battle, everyone in the Martial Prohibition Hall's location was wiped out, and only those who were on business outside survived.

All the corpses were taken away by the people of Corpse Valley. Now, the Martial Prohibition Hall's headquarters is completely deserted, with not a single survivor. People from other forces are also hunting down the people of the Martial Prohibition Hall.

Jiang Liu was taken aback. Was it really that ruthless? If this continued, Corpse Valley's strength would expand rapidly! He then ignored it. Corpse Valley's techniques must have flaws, otherwise they wouldn't have been wiped out before.

After Jiang Liu finished eating and drinking, he got up and walked towards the direction of Ascension Tower.
