Jiang Liu pondered for a long time without any clue, so he simply gave up and ignored him. As for reporting to the three sects, Jiang Liu also put that aside, since Yunzhou was not yet stable and it was a bit too early to go there now.
As for the three sects coming on their own initiative, Jiang Liu hadn't considered that. After all, so far, none of the three sects had ever approached anyone about jurisdiction.
Jiang Liu began practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and soon the sound of wind breaking through the air echoed throughout the courtyard.
Feng Yue and Murong Yin emerged from the room, both women gazing intently at Jiang Liu's cultivation. Their eyes were filled with tenderness and affection, with Feng Yue's gaze especially filled with admiration.
Feng Yue discovered that Jiang Liu's proficiency in martial arts was worlds apart from her own. Moreover, not only was Jiang Liu strong, but his martial arts skills were also so refined. One could imagine how hard Jiang Liu usually trained.
Jiang Liu had no idea what the two women were thinking. After cultivating for a while, he stopped, since the place was too small and he couldn't cultivate to his heart's content.
Jiang Liu is now very enthusiastic about cultivating Cloudfall Strike. This move is a violent aesthetic, and it's especially exciting to use, which is why Jiang Liu likes it so much.
After Jiang Liu stopped cultivating, he looked up at the two women staring at him intently and couldn't help but smile, asking, "What's wrong?"
Murong Yin gracefully stood up and said gently to Jiang Liu, "It's time to prepare the meal."
Feng Yue stood to the side, at a loss, because she hadn't gotten used to how to interact with Jiang Liu on a daily basis.
"Alright! Let's have our meal!" Jiang Liu replied.
For three days in a row, Jiang Liu stayed in the small courtyard and didn't go anywhere. He just kept Murong Yin and Feng Yue.
Occasionally, Jiang Liu would tease Feng Yue a little, because Jiang Liu found that ever since he and Feng Yue officially became a couple, Feng Yue would get shy whenever he teased her.
Feng Yue only reveals the ruthless side she showed when facing Feng Yi when Jiang Liu teases her too much.
That noon, Murong Aotian sent someone to deliver to Jiang Liu a list of the Sun Moon Sect's supplies that had been inventoried.
After Jiang Liu took the list and read it, his worries subsided. This list showed that Murong Aotian genuinely cared for Jiang Liu, and it was possible that his motives were completely different from Murong Mo's.
However, that was enough; for now, Murong Aotian could still be trusted. Therefore, Jiang Liu decided to return to Wind City to check on him, since he still carried the medicine that Murong Lie desired.
Moreover, Jiang Liu would like to personally explain the matter of Feng Yue.
The following morning, after everyone had breakfast, Jiang Liu, along with Murong Yin, Feng Yue, Cuier, prepared to depart. As for Feng Yue's personal maid, Xiao He, she was left at the Feng Yue Feng Family in Yun City.
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Liu enveloped the three of them and flew them out of the courtyard, heading towards the outskirts of Yun City.
Once outside Cloud City, Jiang Liu began summoning the Frostwing Dragon and the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger.
After a while, the Frostwing Dragon and the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger flew over from a distance.
These two Beast King must have had a lot of fun, because as soon as they flew close to Jiang Liu, they let out several cries to express their joy.
Jiang Liu calmed the two Beast King down, and then Murong Yin, with Cuier in tow, leaped onto the back of the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger. Jiang Liu, meanwhile, scooped up Feng Yue and carried her onto the back of the Frostwing Dragon.
Jiang Liu relayed the command to the Frostwing Dragon to head towards Wind City. The Frostwing Dragon turned around and headed towards Wind City. The Ten Thousand Mountains of Wind City were its lair, so going back was a piece of cake.
The Three-Eyed Flying Tiger quickly followed. It didn't know the way, but it could recognize the route it had already flown and if Jiang Liu gave it instructions.
Feng Yue nestled in Jiang Liu's arms, instantly feeling incredibly safe. The aura emanating from the Frostwing Dragon when it took off had been so powerful that it had made her feel suffocated.
However, this was all after Jiang Liu blocked it; otherwise, the aura of the Frostwing Dragon would have caused Feng Yue, who only had the strength of Seventh Grade, to explode.
Murong Yin, with his ninth-rank strength, was somewhat better off, as he could protect Cuier. In addition, Jiang Liu had already conveyed instructions to the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger through his mental imprint, telling it to restrain itself. Otherwise, Murong Yin would not have been able to withstand it either.
After flying for seven consecutive days, the outline of Wind City finally came into view.
When the enormous body of the Frostwing Dragon appeared in the sky above Wind City, the entire Wind City was in an uproar, because Wind City had never before seen an Exotic Beast King descend upon the city.
The people in the city trembled with fear, terrified that if the Exotic Beast dragon king became displeased, it might unleash a breath attack on Wind City, causing heavy casualties among its inhabitants.
Jiang Liu quickly leaped off the back of the Frostwing Dragon with Feng Yue and landed towards the city. Murong Yin also jumped down with Cuier.
Then, the Frostwing Dragon turned around and led the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger to its lair to wreak havoc.
The people of Wind City were relieved to see that the Exotic Beast dragon king had an owner, and finally dared to talk about it while watching Jiang Liu and the others.
Murong Yin and Feng Yue were quickly recognized, and everyone immediately knew that the man embracing Feng Yue must be Jiang Liu.
After all, the name Jiang Liu has really resonated throughout Yunzhou in recent years, and the fact that Jiang Liu came from Wind City makes the people of Wind City even more proud.
After everyone landed on the ground, Jiang Liu said to Feng Yue, "Are you going back by yourself, or should I go back with you later?"
Feng Yue glanced at Murong Yin, then turned to Jiang Liu and said, "I'll go back first! You'll have to come find me!"
Jiang Liu nodded and saw Feng Yue use her movement technique to fly towards the Feng Family. He immediately felt relieved.
Immediately, Jiang Liu conjured two large hands of Yuan Qi, carrying Murong Yin and Cuier, and flew directly towards the Ascension Tower.
As soon as they arrived at the Ascension Tower, a burst of laughter rang out, "Haha! You've finally decided to come back, kid!"
Murong Lie appeared before Jiang Liu with a loud laugh. Jiang Liu quickly clasped his hands in a salute and said, "Grandpa Murong, it's been a long time."
Meanwhile, Murong Yin called out to Murong Lie, "Grandpa!" Murong Lie turned and nodded to Murong Yin, not blaming her for leaving without saying goodbye last time.
Murong Lie looked at Jiang Liu with satisfaction, sizing him up. He then turned to Murong Yin and said, "Go and call someone to prepare wine and food! I want to have a good drink with Jiang Liu today."
Murong Yin nodded and headed into the Ascension Tower.
Murong Lie led Jiang Liu to the secret room on the top floor, where the two sat down and began to chat.
The main conversation involved Murong Lie asking Jiang Liu about his experiences along the way, to which Jiang Liu responded. Murong Lie hadn't left Wind City for a long time; he was even planning to die Wind City.
Now his biggest worry is that Murong Yin has found a good home, so he is very happy and looks at Jiang Liu with great satisfaction.
Jiang Liu sensed the slowly dissipating vital energy on Murong Lie's body and immediately knew that Murong Lie's days were numbered. This dissipation of vital energy was a sign that Grandmaster Realm was nearing the end of his lifespan.
Murong Lie's condition is even more severe than it was four years ago. Jiang Liu hadn't sensed it very strongly before, but now, with just a casual sweep of his Divine Sense, Jiang Liu could clearly understand Murong Lie's physical condition.
Jiang Liu hesitated, wondering whether he should give the Saint Spirit Pill to Murong Lie. After all, if Murong Lie failed to advance to the Grandmaster level, Murong Lie would vanish on the spot.
Jiang Liu was afraid that something might go wrong and have a bad effect, which would be a huge loss. If he didn't try to advance, Murong Lie could live for a few more years.
