Looking at the information in his hand, Jiang Liu realized that the top performers in the other twelve states were all formidable, especially the Buddhist monk Shi Tuo and the Li Family's Li Qi, whose strength was comparable to his own.
Moreover, the disciples of the three sects had not yet participated in this Martial Arts Tournament, and they had no idea how many masters were hidden among them. Suddenly, Jiang Liu felt much more pressured.
Jiang Liu packed his things, walked out of the room, and was about to leave the courtyard to return to the Exotic Beast Valley when he saw Mo Yi walk in with a smug look on his face.
"Good morning, senior brother!" Jiang Liu said first.
Mo Yi glanced at Jiang Liu, then looked up at the sky. "Junior brother, it's so early, isn't it?"
Jiang Liu awkwardly scratched his head, somewhat speechless. Should he tell him, "Senior brother, you had so much fun last night and you're only getting up now?"
"Alright, let's go back first! We'll come again next time. Anyway, we have plenty of money in the account!" Mo Yi said, patting Jiang Liu on the shoulder before leaving the courtyard first.
Jiang Liu and Mo Yi arrived at the Exotic Beast Plaza and each summoned their tamed beasts.
Jiang Liu took the initiative to pay the bill, Mo Yi scolded Jiang Liu, saying that it should have been his senior brother who treated him. Jiang Liu just smiled and didn't say anything.
Afterwards, the two returned to the Exotic Beast Valley one after the other. As soon as they flew into the Exotic Beast Plaza, they saw a group of people gathered around the training plaza discussing something.
Jiang Liu dismounted the Frostwing Dragon handed it over to a nearby Servant Disciple to take care of. He prepared to return to his residence to continue his cultivation, while Mo Yi had already gone to the training square ahead of him.
Jiang Liu used his movement technique to travel Instant Thousand Miles, disappearing from his original spot like a gust of wind. When the Servant Disciple looked again, they could no longer see Jiang Liu's figure.
Back in his courtyard, Jiang Liu sat under a tree in his usual meditation spot and began cultivating using his unique mental technique.
At this moment, in the council hall of the Exotic Beast Valley, Mo Han, Elder Bai, and Elder He were sitting together with serious expressions, discussing Elder Han's disappearance.
At first, the people of the Exotic Beast Valley in Moonfall City thought that Elder Han had finished dealing with the Corpse Valley and would continue to patrol other cities. Since the Exotic Beast Siege incident, the people of the Exotic Beast Valley had the mission to go out and patrol, so the manager of Moonfall City didn't pay much attention to it.
However, after more than ten days without any news of Elder Han, the manager of Moonfall City in the Exotic Beast Valley realized that something was amiss and reported the situation to the Exotic Beast Valley.
Later, the people from the Exotic Beast Valley continued their search, but to no avail. Only in a valley relatively far from Chuyun County were traces of a battle found. Although the traces had been covered up, some clues were still discovered.
It's now almost certain that Elder Han is missing, but whether he's dead or alive is still uncertain. However, once he falls into the hands of Corpse Valley, he can forget about a good outcome.
Mo Han is currently discussing Corpse Valley with Elder Bai and Elder He. Corpse Valley and Exotic Beast Valley have become mortal enemies, and Corpse Valley is showing signs of invading Qi Province again. It is certain that the main target will be Exotic Beast Valley.
Moreover, even if Corpse Valley isn't primarily targeting Exotic Beast Valley, Exotic Beast Valley will still launch attacks against Corpse Valley. Right now, they're discussing who to send on patrol.
Jiang Liu cultivated in his courtyard for ten days straight. After learning about the strength of the top students in other states, Jiang Liu suddenly felt that his own strength was not outstanding.
Although his mental strength should be higher than theirs, mental strength is something that cannot be understood unless it is revealed to others. Jiang Liu was not sure if the mental strength of others was not higher than his, so Jiang Liu felt a sense of pressure.
That day, Mo Han sent someone to summon Jiang Liu to the council hall.
Jiang Liu followed the newcomer to the council hall and saw Mo Han, Elder Bai, Elder He, and more than a dozen other Minor Grandmaster elders. At a glance, he saw that the hall was full of white-haired elders, and he immediately knew that these elders were all quite old.
It seems that Elder Han Tong is one of the younger ones.
Jiang Liu stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, Valley Master and all elders!"
Mo Han nodded in satisfaction, and the other elders also nodded with smiles. Elder Bai looked at Jiang Liu with kind eyes, greatly pleased with Jiang Liu's diligent training over the past few days.
"I called you here today because the secret realm is about to open tomorrow. You should get ready!" Mo Han said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Yes! Then I'll go back and prepare!"
Mo Han nodded and said, "Let's go back!"
Jiang Liu turned and left the hall.
Mo Han then addressed the elders present, saying, "Tomorrow, who among you will be in charge of keeping watch?"
Elder Bai spoke first, "I'll go!" After saying that, he looked around, as if he would fight anyone who tried to take it from him.
Mo Han waited for a while, and seeing that no one spoke, he said, "Alright, then let Elder Bai go!"
Elder Bai nodded in satisfaction. Their Exotic Beast Valley had finally found a satisfactory True Inheritor Disciple, and he didn't want anything to happen to him for no reason, especially now that Corpse Valley was appearing in Qi Province.
