When Elder Bai and Elder He heard the explanation from the Rank 9 Martial Practitioner from Corpse Valley, their expressions gradually became solemn. They had not expected that the Lotus Sect had such a deep-rooted ties with Corpse Valley.
As for the remaining three Minor Grandmaster, Jiang Liu did not question them, because their Divine Sense seas were relatively sturdy. A mental invasion could easily kill them without yielding any information, and they were still of use for now.
They had already learned the general situation from the Rank 9 Martial Practitioner from Corpse Valley. The Grandmaster of the Lotus Sect had come to the Mountain City with them, but they had split up after arriving.
Moreover, the Lotus Sect only arrived in Qi Province two days ago, and they contacted him as soon as they Qi Province.
He sent a message to the contact person here, but after waiting for two days, the contact person did not reply. He had no choice but to bring the Lotus Sect members to the Mountain City to find the contact person who was hiding there.
After arriving, they still couldn't find their contact. Fortunately, Li Chunyang eventually found them and took them into the City Lord's Mansion.
They were just discussing how to hide themselves temporarily in the City Lord's Mansion's study when the Lotus Sect members discovered that someone was spying on them, which is why they scattered and fled.
Jiang Liu, Elder Bai, Elder He, and the others discussed the matter and decided that for the time being, they could only hold back and see if they could lure the Grandmaster of the Lotus Sect to the City Lord's Mansion.
Jiang Liu then placed the three Lotus Sect Minor Grandmaster, the Rank 9 Martial Practitioner from Corpse Valley, and Li Chunyang in the side hall. He even placed the two corpses on chairs to create the illusion that they were discussing something.
Then, close all the doors and windows, and keep the lights on inside.
Jiang Liu stood guard by the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, concealing his presence. As for Elder Bai, Elder He, and the others, they left the City Lord's Mansion, because with the two of them there, the Grandmaster of the Lotus Sect would definitely not dare to approach.
Jiang Liu had already been tested by Elder Bai and Elder He, and even if they got close to Jiang Liu, they couldn't detect Jiang Liu presence. Therefore, there was absolutely no problem with Jiang Liu hiding here.
When the two of them start fighting, it won't be too late for Elder Bai, Elder He, and the others to come and provide support.
With that, the plan was set, and everyone carried it out. As for whether it would succeed, that depended on luck. If the Grandmaster of the Lotus Sect didn't return, there was no better way.
After all, capturing Grandmaster who is determined to escape is not so easy, unless you can launch a surprise attack.
Mo Baitian waited for most of the day in front of the Stone Cave where he was hiding in Corpse Valley, but no one came back. He looked up at the sky and estimated that A'po Duan and the others should have finished their talks.
He only came here alone to search after he saw the A'po Duan carry them into the Mountain City Lord's Mansion.
He came here alone to contact the person in charge of Corpse Valley directly. Otherwise, he would need to ask someone to relay the message, which would take even longer.
The longer they stay in Qi Province, the greater the chance of being discovered, even though they have someone to cover for them, it's not entirely safe.
If word gets out that the Lotus Sect is colluding with Corpse Valley, it will be bad news for the Lotus Sect's current situation.
After all, the Lotus Sect's situation in Zhen Province isn't exactly good either.
Therefore Kuang Qianzi thought of continuing to secretly cooperate with Corpse Valley, hoping that Corpse Valley could send people to Zhen Province to secretly cooperate from the inside and outside to devour the Ye family.
Then they would send people to help Corpse Valley take Qi Province, so that both sides could get what they needed and have a foundation for long-term cooperation.
Of course, the Lotus Sect's trade with Corpse Valley cannot be stopped, since Entry Grade Corpse Golems are very useful as cannon fodder.
Mo Baitian spread his Divine Sense to explore the surroundings and found that there was still no unusual activity. He immediately gave up the idea of continuing to wait here, after all, he didn't know how long he would have to wait before the people from Corpse Valley returned.
Let's go meet up with A'po Duan first. I don't know how their talks went or if they've arranged a place for them.
Mo Baitian into the air and flew towards the Mountain City. A short while later, he arrived above the Mountain City.
Mo Baitian released his Divine Sense to investigate the City Lord's Mansion, but found nothing unusual. Moreover, the auras of A Duanpo and the others were still inside the City Lord's Mansion.
As for why only five people's auras were gathered together, Mo Baitian didn't care too much. After all, only two Rank 9 Martial Practitioner were not here. Perhaps they had something to do.
Mo Baitian then landed and headed towards the side hall.
However, before he even got close to the side hall, Mo Baitian sensed something was wrong. He discovered that when he released his aura and walked over, the A'po Duan and the others were still sitting there, not coming forward to greet him.
Mo Baitian was immediately startled and knew that the situation was bad. He quickly stomped his foot and shot into the air.
However, before Mo Baitian's figure could rise into the air, a Divine Sense suddenly enveloped him. Soon, Mo Baitian also released his own Divine Sense to clash with the newcomer's Divine Sense.
"Ah!" Mo Baitian screamed, and his body, which had been rising into the air, began to fall to the ground.
Jiang Liu had already summoned the Nebula Shrunken Earth technique, appearing above Mo Baitian. He then unleashed a Cloudfall Strike attack directly at Mo Baitian.
Mo Baitian was clutching his head, groaning in pain. This was the first time he had ever experienced such a violent attack on his Divine Sense; it felt as if his skull had been split open and his brains had been swallowed whole.
His guess was correct, because his outward-spreading Divine Sense was directly swallowed up by Jiang Liu's Divine Sense, which caused such great damage.
Although Mo Baitian was wailing, Jiang Liu's attack did not stop. With a "bang," Jiang Liu directly punched Mo Baitian, pressing him an inch into the ground.
A Primal Qi Storm emanated from the point of their battle and quickly spread outwards, enveloping the entire City Lord's Mansion.
It turned out that Mo Baitian, enduring the pain in his Divine Sense, raised his hands to block Jiang Liu's attack, and didn't have time to take out his weapon to resist.
Jiang Liu immediately unleashed Cloudfall Strike, launching a fierce and relentless attack on Mo Baitian. Suddenly, an even louder roar erupted from the point of their battle, interspersed with Mo Baitian's screams of agony.
Upon hearing the sounds of fighting, Elder Bai, Elder He, and the others knew that Jiang Liu had already engaged in combat with the newcomers, and immediately began to fly straight towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Not long after they arrived at the scene, they were shocked by the horrific sight before them. The Grandmaster lying on the ground was barely breathing, barely exhaling.
The entire courtyard was almost completely destroyed; everything inside was reduced to dust, and most of the walls had collapsed. The people in the City Lord's Mansion kept their distance, afraid to approach.
If Jiang Liu continues his attack, this Grandmaster will likely perish here.
Of course, even Grandmaster isn't that fragile; the current situation is likely due to being caught off guard.
However, Jiang Liu did not stop. In the end, he knocked Mo Baitian unconscious with one move before stopping.
Jiang Liu looked up at Elder Bai, Elder He, and the other elders of the Exotic Beast Valley, who all had astonished expressions, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you all?"
Elder Bai, Elder He, and the others shook their heads, sighing inwardly. Jiang Liu was too powerful; in just a short while, he had already Jiang Liu with this Grandmaster. And judging from the Grandmaster's strength, he was probably about the same as themselves.
Thinking of this, the two of them suddenly felt a chill. Didn't that mean that Jiang Liu could deal with them at any time, just like he dealt with the person in front of them?
