Seizing the Secret Chamber at Corpse Valley

Jiang Liu looked at the corpses scattered all over the secret room and was speechless. There were at least dozens of corpses in this small secret room.

Fortunately, Jiang Liu didn't want to go in to investigate, otherwise he probably wouldn't even have a place to stay.

Jiang Liu had no choice but to repeatedly unleash his Frost Nether Palm, striking the secret chamber repeatedly, instantly filling the entire chamber with a chilling aura.

Before long, all those dozens of corpses turned into ice shards. It's fair to say that Jiang Liu's icy palm strikes regressed the strength of Corpse Valley by at least a decade.

Jiang Liu then began to examine the area around the secret room, because there must be something special about the geographical environment that created it.

Jiang Liu discovered that this phenomenon only occurred around the secret chamber, and once outside the chamber, the strange Essence Particles disappeared.

After searching the outside, Jiang Liu still couldn't find anything unusual that could generate those strange Essence Particles. He thought to himself, "Then it must be inside the secret room."

Jiang Liu looked at the messy secret chamber, sighed, then drew his broadsword, gathered his energy, and a huge blade of light flashed, slicing open the upper part of the entire secret chamber.

Immediately, those strange Essence Particles spread out, but after they were released into the air, they gradually dissipated, probably because the amount was too small and they were diluted.

Jiang Liu then channeled his Wind Attribute Qi, and a hurricane appeared out of thin air, sweeping through the entire secret chamber. Before long, the entire secret chamber was completely clean.

Jiang Liu then entered the secret chamber and found that the entire chamber was paved with stones, and even the walls were paved with large, solid stones. It was clear that Corpse Valley truly intended to make this place a long-term stronghold.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Liu realized that he could use this place to lure people from Corpse Valley. Corpse Valley had already lost one Grandmaster and three Minor Grandmaster, and they did so without knowing who killed them.

After thinking it over, Jiang Liu decided not to completely destroy the secret chamber. If he did, who knew if Corpse Valley would notice something amiss and use the Corpse Valley to wipe them all out?

Otherwise, the people from Corpse Valley will keep harassing Exotic Beast Valley, and Qi Province will not be very safe. We must wipe them out completely before we can develop in peace.

Jiang Liu then withdrew from the secret chamber. He then used earth elemental energy to cover the chamber as much as possible, and even placed large stones on top of it.

As for the stone house above the secret chamber, Jiang Liu didn't bother with it. In any case, Corpse Valley didn't care much about those things. As long as the secret chamber was well preserved, it should be able to attract people from Corpse Valley.

After everything was arranged, Jiang Liu prepared to leave. After all, with him there, the people of Corpse Valley would definitely not dare to show themselves.

Only if there is no one here, and the only indication is that the stone house above has been destroyed, without any secret chamber being discovered or damaged, will the people of Corpse Valley feel safe to use this place.

However, Jiang Liu was not entirely clear about the current strength of Corpse Valley, so he needed to be cautious and asked Exotic Beast Valley for help, requesting them to send more people over.

With this in mind, Jiang Liu decided to go to Mountain City, the closest county town in Qi Province, to find the Exotic Beast Valley's headquarters and deliver the message.

Jiang Liu thought of Mountain City. When he passed through here before, he discovered that the Chen Family of Mountain City had been colluding with Corpse Valley for a long time. They should have been wiped out by now! After all, it was Elder Bai who personally took action.

Jiang Liu then pushed off with his feet and leaped into the air, flying directly towards the Mountain City. As for the Frostwing Dragon and the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger, he would let them rest for a while.

Three days later, after resting for a while in the evening, Jiang Liu finally saw the outline of the Mountain City's walls after continuous flying.

As soon as Jiang Liu approached, three figures flew out from the city wall. Jiang Liu saw that they were all wearing the clothing of the Exotic Beast Valley, and immediately knew that the Mountain City had been completely taken over by the Exotic Beast Valley.

As soon as the disciples of the Exotic Beast Valley approached, Jiang Liu took out the Exotic Beast Valley token and tossed it to the leading Exotic Beast Valley.

The disciple in charge of the Exotic Beast Valley quickly took the token and discovered that it was a token of True Inheritor Disciple of the Exotic Beast Valley. Upon seeing Jiang Liu's appearance, he immediately knew that this was Jiang Liu.

After a closer examination of the vital energy Preservation on the token and the vital energy emanating from Jiang Liu, it was immediately confirmed that this was indeed Jiang Liu.

Then the leading disciple from the Exotic Beast Valley quickly cupped his hands towards Jiang Liu and said, "Senior Brother Jiang, did you just return from Qian Province?"

Jiang Liu nodded, then said to the three disciples of the Exotic Beast Valley, "You can continue your patrol! Just find someone to lead the team to our base."

The leader nodded in agreement, then turned to one of his disciples and instructed, "Zhang Kong, take Senior Brother Jiang back."

Zhang Kong clasped his hands in a fist salute and replied, "Yes." Then, he respectfully said to Jiang Liu, "Senior Brother Jiang, please follow me." After saying that, he led the way and rushed into the city.

Jiang Liu nodded to the remaining two and then followed Zhang Kong, flying towards the city. Along the way, Zhang Kong gave Jiang Liu a brief overview of the current situation in the Mountain City.

Not long after, Zhang Kong led Jiang Liu to the Exotic Beast Valley's base in the Mountain City. It turned out that the Exotic Beast Valley had moved its base to the City Lord's Mansion, which meant that the Exotic Beast Valley had completely taken control of the Mountain City.

Looking at the City Lord's Mansion in front of him, Jiang Liu couldn't help but feel emotional. He thought that the whole of Daqian was probably similar to Qi Province now, and Qi Province was probably relatively peaceful.

After all, there wasn't much bloodshed, because out of the thirteen counties of Qi Province, only two resisted, while the rest surrendered to the Exotic Beast Valley. Moreover, the commanders of those two counties were released back to Tian Province by the Exotic Beast Valley.

As for the rest, they have all surrendered to the Exotic Beast Valley and are now happily continuing to garrison their respective counties and cities. Previously, they were reporting to Tian Province, but now they are reporting to the Exotic Beast Valley.

Moreover, they are even happier now. After all, reporting to Tian Province used to be a long and arduous process, and they didn't know when they would receive a reply. But now it's different. As long as there is a situation, the Exotic Beast Valley will resolve it quickly.

Moreover, the treatment is even better than before, so the people from the Martial Prohibition Hall might be more willing to serve the Exotic Beast Valley than they were to serve the imperial court.

Jiang Liu only paused briefly at the entrance before the person in charge in Mountain City came out to greet him.

Upon seeing Jiang Liu, Core Disciple Li Chunyang immediately apologized and bowed, saying, "Senior Brother Jiang, it's been a long time! You're finally back."

Jiang Liu glanced at him briefly and knew that he had seen this disciple before in the training square of the Exotic Beast Valley. He quickly returned the greeting and said, "Junior brother, you are too kind. I have just returned and I have something to trouble you with."

Li Chunyang smiled and said, "What are you saying, senior brother? Just tell me what you need, and I'll take care of it for you right away." After saying that, he led Jiang Liu into the City Lord's Mansion.

After the two entered the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, servants served tea and then withdrew. Li Chunyang then asked Jiang Liu, "Senior brother, is there something you need?"

After Jiang Liu spread his Divine Sense and enveloped the entire hall, he said to Li Chunyang, "I have discovered the Corpse Valley's stronghold. Please send someone back to the Exotic Beast Valley."
