The White Saint Society's Rebellion Gradually Faded into Ashes
On April 26th of the fifth year of Chengping, Jiang Liu, after more than ten days of continuous flight, had entered the territory of Qi Province. All along the way, he flew directly over deep mountains and old forests.
That day, Jiang Liu saw a large city in the distance and knew that he had arrived at Luocheng in Qi Province. He then ordered the Frostwing Dragon to prepare to land. After traveling for ten consecutive days, Jiang Liu was feeling a bit tired and decided to rest there.
The massive body of the Frostwing Dragon slowly descended towards the city gate. The crowd queuing to enter the city showed curiosity upon seeing the Frostwing Dragon's enormous size.
As soon as Jiang Liu stopped, several figures flew out and came to his Jiang Liu. A martial artist who looked like a leader and exuded the aura of Rank 9 Martial Practitioner bowed to Jiang Liu and said, "May I ask if you are going into the city, sir?"
Jiang Liu didn't speak, he just nodded.
"Then please park your mount over there where the Exotic Beast mounts are kept, sir." The leader pointed to the side.
Jiang Liu followed his finger and looked in that direction, only to discover that there was a huge plaza near the mountainside, where many Exotic Beasts were kept, most of them domesticated, but some were not.
He sighed inwardly, thinking that Qi Province was indeed the headquarters of the Exotic Beast Valley. They hadn't even arrived in Qi City yet, and they were already marked by the Exotic Beast Valley. He thought that he had never seen these services in Yunzhou.
Without further ado, Jiang Liu ordered the Frostwing Dragon to fly towards the plaza.
As soon as the Frostwing Dragon approached the plaza, it caused a commotion among the other Exotic Beast there. They roared and struggled desperately to escape.
Before long, several people flew out. A middle-aged man who looked like a manager and had the strength of Seventh Grade official bowed to Jiang Liu with sweat on his face and said, "Sir, please put your mount somewhere else. If you put your mount here, there will be no peace here."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu had no choice but to order the Frostwing Dragon to fly into the mountains to find food. As the Frostwing Dragon away, the restless Exotic Beast gradually calmed down.
The steward thanked Jiang Liu profusely, and Jiang Liu waved his hand before setting off towards Luocheng.
Jiang Liu followed the crowd into Luocheng, then asked around before heading towards Ascension Tower.
The Bai family, who are in charge of the Qi Province Ascension Tower, are also members of the old school.
Jiang Liu inquired his way to Ascension Tower. Upon closer inspection, he found that the facade of Ascension Tower was decorated almost exactly like that of Wind City, with only a few touches of Qi Province's characteristics.
As soon as Jiang Liu stepped into the Ascension Tower, a female waitress greeted him, "Sir, how can I help you?"
Jiang Liu took out his identity token and handed it over. The waitress took it, checked it at the counter, and then handed the token back to Jiang Liu with both hands, bowing and asking, "Young Master Jiang, do you want to buy something or ask about something?"
"I'd like to know what's been happening lately."
"Then please follow me, Young Master Jiang!" The waitress led Jiang Liu directly into the hall, then headed up the stairs to the top floor.
As soon as he reached the top floor, a middle-aged man with an overweight build and unclear strength walked over and smiled at Jiang Liu, saying, "Nephew Jiang, we've been waiting for you."
Jiang Liu immediately recognized that this was the leader of the Bai family's sect here, and Murong Aotian had instructed him to come this way. He then cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Bai, you're too kind. I just arrived! I've come to bother you!"
Bai Luohe led Jiang Liu directly into the secret room. Upon seeing this, the waitress who brought Jiang Liu up apologized and went downstairs on her own.
After Bai Luohe sat down, he kindly inquired about the journey from Jiang Liu. Jiang Liu gave him a casual reply and then began to ask about the previous rebellion of the White Saint Society.
"The rebellion of the White Saint Society has begun to gradually subside," Bai Luohe said.
"So fast?" Jiang Liu asked doubtfully.
Bai Luohe nodded and said, "Yes! For some reason, the forces that previously supported the White Saint Society suddenly withdrew."
"They withdrew suddenly? Could it be that the three sects intervened?" Jiang Liu asked, somewhat surprised.
"That's not so clear. Right now, the White Saint Society only has a few sparks left in Feng Province. The White Saint Society in other places has been wiped out by the Martial Prohibition Hall. I heard that their leader has also fled to Feng Province."
Jiang Liu fell into deep thought upon hearing this, and Bai Luohe did not disturb Jiang Liu.
This situation is a bit strange! It feels like the White Saint Society has been tricked, but who exactly is it? Old Master Feng that the White Saint Society is fighting with other forces, but who is the hidden force?
Jiang Liu didn't think too deeply about it, after all, there was too little information, and he couldn't figure it out anyway. "Uncle Bai, what about the Feng Province Ascension Tower?"
"Oh! The Chen Family didn't lose their minds this time and didn't get involved," Bai Luohe said with great relief.
"Oh! That's good. Uncle Bai, do you have any news from Yunzhou?" Jiang Liu then asked.
"Yunzhou, of course there is! Not long after you left, the White Saint Society broke out in Yunzhou. It's strange, the White Saint Society in Yunzhou seems to have lost its mind. Without any other forces to help it, it also launched a rebellion!" Bai Luohe said, puzzled.
Jiang Liu found it a bit strange. The White Saint Society Wind City had sent quite a few people to their previous operations, but now that they were rebelling, no one was helping them.
"By the way, it was rumored that the White Saint Society Sect only had one Grandmaster, but actually there are three. Their two vice leaders have also advanced to the Grandmaster level, and another Grandmaster has appeared in Yunzhou."
"The White Saint Society has a Grandmaster in Yunzhou? Which Grandmaster from Yunzhou made a move?"
"Without anyone intervening, the Martial Prohibition Hall single-handedly held off the White Saint Society's attack, because the White Saint Society's Grandmaster had just advanced in rank and was routed by Commander Lin Chi of Yunzhou."
Jiang Liu was taken aback. No one was offering help? Then the situation of the Martial Prohibition Hall was quite worrying. This must be related to the attitude of the three sects.
"The remnants of the White Saint Society in Yunzhou have been almost completely wiped out, with only a few hiding. So, my dear nephew, you don't need to worry about Yin'er's safety," Bai Luohe reassured him.
Jiang Liu nodded, then opened his mind and began to talk to Bai Luohe.
When the two discussed the upcoming secret realm, Bai Luohe stated that he had no further details.
Jiang Liu could only nod helplessly, "Then, Uncle Bai, I'll take my leave now."
"Hey! What are you saying! You've come to Qi Province, and I, Old Bai, haven't treated you well. If you just leave like this, the next time you see Yin'er, she'll definitely twist my ear." Bai Luohe quickly stopped Jiang Liu, who was about to leave.
"Well, alright! Then thank you for your hospitality, Uncle Bai!" Jiang Liu said.
"Don't be so polite! We're all family!" Bai Luohe waved his hand, indicating to Jiang Liu not to stand on ceremony.
Bai Luohe then led Jiang Liu to an elegant residence. After fine wine and food were served, the two began to enjoy their meal.
Jiang Liu remained cautious and didn't drink much, while Bai Luohe kept chugging down his liquor, which made Jiang Liu glance at him sideways.
The two were enjoying their drinks when suddenly a commotion broke out. "Hey, you surnamed Bai, you're drinking here again?"
Bai Luohe was startled when he heard the sound, and the wine glass in his hand fell onto the table.
