Chaos Begins in Various Provinces, White Saint Society Raises the Banner of Rebellion

Jiang Liu followed the Feng Family steward deeper into the Feng Family.

The two walked all the way to the Back Mountain deep inside the mansion before stopping in front of a house at the foot of the mountain. As soon as Jiang Liu reached the house, a hearty laugh rang out, "You brat, why did it take you so long to come to this old man's place?"

Jiang Liu quickly walked a few steps forward and entered the courtyard. He saw the Feng Family Old Ancestor lying on a recliner, gently rocking back and forth, looking quite relaxed and content.

Jiang Liu stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I apologize for only coming to see you today, sir!"

"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Have you gone to see my eldest son yet?" The Feng Family Old Ancestor waved his hand casually.

"I've already met him!" Jiang Liu replied respectfully.

"Hmm! That's good. You and Feng Yue have been engaged for so long, what are your plans?"

"This..." Jiang Liu was at a loss for words.

"Stop with this and that. Don't even think about breaking off the engagement. No matter what, the Feng Family is a prominent family in Yunzhou." Before Jiang Liu could finish speaking, the Feng Family Old Ancestor interrupted Jiang Liu.

"Since you agreed back then, you should have thought that I don't ask anything of you. I just want you to treat my Feng Yue the same as the girls in the Murong Family. I won't force you to do anything else."

"Moreover, the entire Great Qian Dynasty is about to descend into chaos, and my Feng Family can certainly offer you some protection." Old Master Feng gazed at the horizon and said softly.

"Is the entire Great Qian Dynasty about to fall into chaos?" Jiang Liu was taken aback. Although the White Saint Society and several other forces were still making small moves, the overall situation in the Great Qian Dynasty was still stable. How could it collapse so quickly?

"Don't disbelieve me. What do you think is the purpose of the Martial Arts Tournament held by the three sects this time?" Old Master Feng continued to ask.

"What is your purpose?" Jiang Liu asked.

"Testing the dynasty's attitude. This shows that the three sects are already prepared to break ties with the Great Qian Dynasty. Holding the Martial Arts Tournament is just an excuse. They are uniting forces across the country to prepare for a change of dynasty."

"The reason the time was brought forward is simply to explore the secret realm. You should know that by now!" After saying that, Old Master Feng looked at Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu nodded without saying anything.

"Now, the White Saint Society and other forces are all vying to take the lead, which is why they keep stirring up trouble, but the three sects have not paid any attention to them."

"You think Yunzhou is chaotic? Compared to other states, Yunzhou is already considered relatively good. When you Qian Province, you'll see how chaotic the other states are."

Old Master Feng said nonchalantly.

"Why do the three sects want to overthrow the Great Qian?" Jiang Liu asked, puzzled.

"What else could it be for? Profits, of course! Although the Martial Prohibition Hall doesn't dare to do anything to the three sects on the surface, it has been constantly at odds with them. With the help of other forces, it has gradually become an adversary."

After saying this, the Feng Family Old Ancestor shook his head, looking quite wistful.

Jiang Liu listened with a sigh. Martial artists were the biggest cancer of the dynasty, and when the power of martial artists developed to a certain extent, it would inevitably harm the interests of the court. The two were naturally opposed to each other.

The Great Qian Dynasty was established by relying on the power of three sects, so the situation was even more serious. In order to maintain its dignity, the dynasty had no choice but to build up its own forces to suppress the Jianghu forces.

This caused the already strained relationship between the three clans and the imperial court to deteriorate rapidly. Apart from not directly confronting each other, they also stopped paying attention to each other.

Previously, the three sects had been tolerating each other, probably because they had some plan or had not reached an agreement. Now they probably don't want to tolerate it anymore, which is why they took the lead in holding the Martial Arts Tournament and repeatedly tested the dynasty's bottom line.

The current chaos in the Jianghu is mostly the result of the three sects' indulgence. Of course, natural disasters have also added fuel to the fire, not to mention man-made disasters.

"What are the Feng Family's plans?" Jiang Liu asked.

Old Master Feng shook his head. "My Feng Family doesn't want to get involved with them. We just want to live peacefully in this corner of the world. I'll be satisfied as long as I can protect my Feng Family from this storm."

Next, the two exchanged opinions on their trip to the secret realm. The Feng Family Old Ancestor believed that preserving their own safety was the most important thing.

While the rewards from the secret realm may be very tempting, you also need to be alive to obtain them.

Jiang Liu talked with Old Master Feng for about half an hour, asking him some questions about martial arts, before taking his leave.

Old Master Feng watched Jiang Liu's retreating figure and sighed. He knew that Jiang Liu didn't have a good impression of the Feng Family in Yuncheng. Although Jiang Liu didn't say anything just now, he could tell from his tone of voice.

Then she thought about it again. No matter what, her second son still had good judgment, finding a prodigy like Jiang Liu to be his grandson-in-law.

Thinking that Jiang Liu is only twenty years old, yet his martial arts cultivation is already close to the Grandmaster level, and considering that he has lived for so long, he has never seen one like him.

Anyway, his children and grandchildren would have their own lives to live, and he couldn't care less what would happen between them in the future. So, Old Master Feng stopped paying attention to it.

After returning to Ascension Tower, Jiang Liu began his arduous cultivation. As for going to Qi Province, there was still plenty of time, so there was no need to rush.

Jiang Liu had been cultivating in the courtyard for more than half a month. On this day, he was thinking of going out for a walk because Jiang Liu planned to leave for Qi Province the next day. However, there were some things he needed to arrange before leaving.

Before they even reached the courtyard gate, they saw Murong Yin hurrying in.

Jiang Liu asked curiously, "Yin'er, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I was just looking for you! Something terrible has happened! The White Saint Society has led a rebellion!"

Jiang Liu was startled. Rebellion? The White Saint Society Cult is really bold! They dare to lead the way in rebellion, aren't they afraid of being suppressed with all their might? Now that they dare to lead the rebellion, it goes without saying that they will definitely be suppressed with all their might.

"Where is the rebellion taking place? Yunzhou? Or somewhere else?" Jiang Liu asked doubtfully.

"It's in Feng Province!" Murong Yin said helplessly.

"Feng Province? That's very far from here! What does it have to do with us?" Jiang Liu asked, puzzled.

"It's because we're so far apart that I only just received the news. This happened not long after the Martial Arts Tournament began."

The message transmission of the Ascension Tower mainly relies on domesticated flying birds and Exotic Beast, so the relationship between the Ascension Tower and the Exotic Beast Valley has always been very good.

"Although it has nothing to do with us, it does have something to do with the Ascension Tower!" Murong Yin said anxiously.

"Feng Province Ascension Tower?" Jiang Liu asked, Murong Yin nodded.

Jiang Liu continued, "Which organization is in charge of the Feng Province Ascension Tower?"

"It's the new Chen Family that's why I'm worried. I don't know if the Chen Family is involved, or if it will implicate our Yunzhou," Murong Yin said helplessly.

This is just self-comfort. As long as Ascension Tower is involved, no matter which state it is from, Ascension Tower cannot escape its influence.

However, the imperial court is probably overwhelmed now, since the worst-case scenario is any rebellion. The most important thing is how the situation develops next.

"The White Saint Society has always been quite radical. The Chen Family shouldn't be that unwise!" Jiang Liu comforted him.

"That's all we can hope for!" Murong Yin said helplessly.

"Alright, even if the Chen Family of Feng Province gets involved, there's nothing you can do. Let's think about our own affairs!" Jiang Liu comforted him.

"Our own business?" Murong Yin didn't react for a moment, staring at Jiang Liu with wide eyes.
