The White Saint Society's Raging Rebellion
"Yes! You haven't forgotten about our own affairs, have you?" Jiang Liu said softly, taking Murong Yin's small hand in his.
Murong Yin thought for a moment and said, "How could I forget? I just didn't want to disturb you because I saw you were cultivating. Let's go inside first, and I'll explain the situation to you in more detail!"
After saying that, Murong Yin pulled Jiang Liu into the hall.
Upon arriving at the hall, Murong Yin didn't waste any words and said directly, "Here's my plan: I intend to go back to Wind City to establish a base first, and then develop gradually. Didn't you say that this matter can't be rushed? Then I want to lay a solid foundation first!"
After listening to Murong Yin's words, Jiang Liu thought for a moment. Although the Martial Prohibition Hall in Wind City had been destroyed, Ascension Tower Feng Family were still the number one forces. Therefore, establishing a base in Wind City was the best option. He then nodded.
"The most important thing now is to come up with a name first, so that things will be easier to do," Murong Yin continued.
"Name it? Let's call it Listening Wind Pavilion! Right now, the main focus is on establishing the intelligence department; we can talk about the rest later," Jiang Liu said after thinking for a moment.
"Listening Wind Pavilion? That's a good name, quite fitting. Let's call it that!" Murong Yin nodded.
"However, there's one problem. Those women you mentioned don't know me. How are you going to explain that?" Murong Yin rolled her eyes at Jiang Liu after she finished speaking.
"That's easy. Aren't I going to Qi Province Qi City? I'll be passing through there anyway. I can take you with me then," Jiang Liu said, feigning ignorance.
"Yes! You'll be leaving soon, and for such a long time." Murong Yin said with a look of reluctance.
Jiang Liu didn't say anything more, but simply pulled Murong Yin tightly into his arms. Murong Yin held Jiang Liu in silence for a long time.
"Alright, hurry up and pack your things! We're leaving for Anyang County tomorrow," Jiang Liu said, patting Murong Yin on the shoulder.
Murong Yin nodded and went out to call Cuier to prepare.
Jiang Liu was pondering what to do next and making some basic preparations for building his power.
As Jiang Liu prepared to depart, the rebellion of the White Saint Society officially began across the country.
First, there were the two Mo Province states of Feng Province and Kan Province, as well as the small border towns adjacent to Feng Province. As soon as the White Saint Society's rebellion broke out, the officials of the Martial Prohibition Hall were placed under house arrest, and many of the White Saint Society's spies planted in the Martial Prohibition Hall long ago were also exposed.
Feng Province now almost entirely under the control of the White Saint Society Sect, with only three of the nine prefectures remaining, struggling to hold on. Feng Province is located in a remote area, bordering the desert region, and is separated from Tian Province by Mo Province and Kan Province.
Therefore, the Martial Prohibition Hall has never been very strong, and after so much infiltration, many officials of the Martial Prohibition Hall have been corrupted.
Several other prefectures with strong White Saint Society influence, along with some smaller outlying towns, joined the movement, and several major powers seized the opportunity to join, though none revealed their names.
As for the various counties of Feng Province, countless small and medium-sized forces were also caught up in the chaos, and the rebellion of the White Saint Society suddenly seemed to be in full swing, as if it would spread the flames of rebellion throughout the entire Daqian with this momentum.
Meanwhile, the White Saint Society Sect branch in Yunzhou was also secretly preparing to launch an uprising. On this day, in its secret stronghold in the Ten Thousand Mountains, the White Saint Society gathered all the forces that were preparing to participate in the uprising.
However, only four people were allowed to sit at the council table. The others were waiting for instructions.
This time, it was Yin Hong, the leader of the Yunzhou branch, who personally came forward and said excitedly, "Everyone, our White Saint Society has already started an uprising in Feng Province. Now it's time for us to respond."
"I hope everyone will keep their promises and work together to build our own dynasty!" Yin Hong said, waving his hand as if to gain power.
Corpse Valley's Yunzhou leader Shi Kui, said sinisterly, "Master Yin, Corpse Valley is ready and awaits the transaction. We can fulfill the quantity we promised you before, as long as you can provide enough martial artists."
"Shi Kui, Zhu County, and Lu County can meet your needs, but Tian County, Xia County, Kan County, Qi County, and Yu County may be a bit lacking."
"As for Yun County, the target number is not even halfway there. You know the situation in Feng County as well; the target number has been reached, but you haven't sent anyone to receive it."
It turns out that after the Martial Prohibition Hall was destroyed in Feng County, the White Saint Society took advantage of the chaos in Feng County to send people to various cities under Feng County to arrest martial artists. However, after arresting them, they waited for a long time but no one from Corpse Valley came to take them over.
"Alas, ever since the incident, our Valley Master has refused to send any more people to me, which has led to a shortage of manpower. Could Master Yin send some people to the neighboring prefecture?" Shi Kui said helplessly.
"However, Master Yin, with such a large discrepancy in your numbers, I can't explain this to our Valley Master!"
At this moment, the Lotus Sect leader A Duanpo, said, "Master Yin, since Corpse Valley cannot take it over, why not hand it over to us?"
Shi Kui said in a sinister tone, "As long as you're not afraid that our Corpse Valley disciples will come after your Lotus Sect disciples, then go ahead and accept them!"
The A'po Duan and said, "No, no, I was just joking. There's no need to take it seriously."
Yin Hong waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's not argue about this anymore. A'po Duan, as long as this matter is successful, I can agree to all your requests."
"However, you can't just send a few small fry like last time. Otherwise, our Master Liu won't let you off the hook."
The A'po Duan said nonchalantly, "Master Yin, don't try to scare me with your Master Liu. But we Lotus Sect will definitely do our part without fail. You should worry about the others!" She then glanced at Jie Jiekong beside her.
Jiekong touched the ordination scar on his head and said, "Master Yin, our people are almost here. What are you planning to do?"
Yin Hong said, "We still need some time to prepare. We plan to start our uprising on the eighth day of the fourth month. I hope everyone can do their best to help my White Saint Society. Once it's successful, I, Yin Hong, will definitely not treat you unfairly!"
Shi Kui said helplessly, "Master Yin, I can only say that I will do my best to mobilize the Corpse Golems for you, but as you know, my Corpse Valley disciples are not of equal value, so it is difficult to command them."
Yin Hong nodded in understanding, then looked at the A'po Duan, "What about your Lotus Sect?"
The A'po Duan stood tall and said magnanimously, "The entire Lotus Sect obeys your command!"
Yin Hong nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Jiekong and asked, "Master Jiekong, can you confirm when your men will arrive?"
Jiekong nodded and said, "No problem. I'll send a message when I get back and tell them to speed up their journey."
"Alright! Everyone, let's wish each other a great victory!" Yin Hong said excitedly.
Afterwards, the group dispersed in twos and threes, while Yin Hong went to report the situation to Liu Hai.
In Murong Yin's courtyard at Ascension Tower, Cuier rushed into Jiang Liu's room, "Young Master, I'm going with you this time, don't even think about abandoning me again!"
After speaking, Cuier put her hands on her hips and glared fiercely at Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu looked at Cuier helplessly and said, "You'll have to ask your young lady about that!"
Upon hearing this, Cuier turned around and hurriedly went out to find Murong Yin. Judging from her appearance, it seemed that she was about to cry if Murong Yin did not agree.
