Jiang Liu got up and walked towards the side hall. When he arrived, he saw that Murong Yin, Feng Yue, Cuier, and Xiao He were already sitting there.
"Husband, come and try it! This new dish is sure to be delicious." Feng Yue stood up and said as soon as she saw Jiang Liu.
Seeing the bitter look on Jiang Liu's face, Murong Yin quickly chimed in, "Husband n't worry, husband, Feng Yue's cooking this time will definitely be delicious. We've already tried it."
Jiang Liu looked at Murong Yin with a suspicious expression, because Murong Yin had already used this trick to fool Jiang Liu before.
However, since it has already been made, Jiang Liu will try it regardless of whether it tastes good or not. After all, Feng Yue is willing to put in the effort to make food for them, which is a kind gesture, and Jiang Liu doesn't want to let Feng Yue down.
Jiang Liu sat down, Feng Yue diligently served Jiang Liu a piece of the new dish, which Jiang Liu then began to eat.
To everyone's surprise, it tasted surprisingly good, and Jiang Liu nodded in satisfaction.
When Feng Yue saw Jiang Liu nod, she jumped up with joy.
Murong Yin looked at Jiang Liu with a smile on his face, while Cuier and Xiao He happily started eating.
Soon, the banquet came to a close amidst everyone's laughter and joy.
After Jiang Liu finished his meal, he sat in the side hall with Murong Yin and Feng Yue and chatted.
The three mainly talked about the Five Poisons Sect, as that was the most important topic at the moment.
There are also some issues concerning the Lineage and forces in Yuncheng, mainly regarding the arrangements and handling of these forces after the Five Poisons Sect was wiped out.
If these forces are not controlled, they will eventually become too powerful to control, and it would not be good to suppress them all.
That's why this is a rather troublesome matter, but with previous experience, Jiang Liu believes that Exotic Weapon Valley will handle it well.
However, we cannot rely too much on Exotic Weapon Valley, otherwise the problems will still arise. So this involves the issue of finding the right balance.
Jiang Liu rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. Seeing this, Murong Yin immediately stepped forward and rubbed Jiang Liu's forehead, while Feng Yue brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu took the tea that Feng Yue handed him, took a sip, and then patted Murong Yin to indicate that he was alright.
Looking at the two women who appeared virtuous and kind, Jiang Liu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, for both of them were young ladies from their respective Lineage.
However, since they started following me, they have been doing almost everything for me personally, and they haven't neglected even the Listening Wind and Gentle Rain Pavilion that I entrusted to them.
Moreover, the two women's personalities complement each other well. One is a bit impatient and sometimes acts recklessly, while the other is thoughtful and deliberate in her actions.
In the following days, Exotic Weapon Valley proceeded step by step with its plan against the Five Poisons Sect, and a large net was cast over the Five Poisons Sect of Qi County.
At first, the Five Poisons Sect didn't sense anything, but then they increasingly felt that something was wrong.
Because the disciples and followers they sent out were either dead or missing.
Yunzhou, Qi County, the headquarters of the Five Poisons Sect, council hall.
Yi Yue, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, looked at the group of high-ranking members of the sect sitting below and said, "What's going on lately? One disciple after another has gone missing or died?"
"Has there been any news from Yuncheng? Has there been any unusual activity in Exotic Weapon Valley?" Yi Yue asked Yi Cuo, a minor sect elder.
"Reporting to the Master, the message sent back by Gong Xun says that everything in Exotic Weapon Valley is normal, with no unusual activity," Yi Cuo replied, standing up.
"No unusual activity? Could it be the work of the Tianyi Sect, Heaven One Sect force in Xun Province?" Yi Yue said, frowning.
Because the prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Heaven One Sect in Xun Province happened to be adjacent to the prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Five Poisons Sect, Yi Yue had no choice but to suspect that this was the work of the Heaven One Sect.
Because Chen Yuke, the daughter of Chen Bo, the leader of the Heaven One Sect, is True Inheritor Disciple of the Haotian Sect, and now that the Heaven One Sect has only occupied one prefecture under the strong influence of the Ghost School, it is hard to guarantee that they will not have other ideas.
If the Heaven One Sect wants to seize territory, besides the Ghost School's territory, then Qi County in Yunzhou is their only remaining target.
Therefore, it is quite normal for Yi Yue to have such thoughts.
Unfortunately, it was precisely because of the lack of communication that a treacherous individual was able to exploit the situation.
"Be extra vigilant during this period and don't let your guard down. When your disciples go out, make sure they're not alone. I doubt the other side will stop so quickly; they'll probably make a move soon," Yi Yue instructed.
"Yes!" The elders below the hall stood up and responded.
Meanwhile, Chen Bo, who had been unfairly blamed, was lying comfortably in his courtyard, leisurely sipping tea and deep in thought.
He hadn't seen his daughter for several years and was truly missing her. After all, she was his only precious, gifted daughter; his other sons were all good-for-nothings.
However, the Haotian Sect seemed to be in turmoil during this period, which kept Chen Yuke from returning. So she could only send letters back through the Ascension Tower.
For several days in a row, the number of the Five Poisons Sect disciples who went missing or died increased, causing widespread panic throughout the Five Poisons Sect. Some even spread rumors that the Five Poisons Sect had offended the Five Poisons God, and this was the punishment that had been sent down.
Subsequently, in order to suppress the rumors, Yi Yue specially dispatched Minor Grandmaster elder to carry out tasks and conduct inspections.
As a result, trouble struck on the very first day the Minor Grandmaster elder was dispatched, because even the Minor Grandmaster elder who was sent out disappeared.
Now, Yi Yue finally realized that things were not going well.
He then divided all the Minor Grandmaster and elders into two teams, one of which he personally led. The other team was led by Gong Heqian newly promoted Grandmaster vice sect leader, and they searched the entire Qi County.
This search finally yielded a clue, because many martial artists of unknown origin had appeared in Qi County during this period. At first, they were all in the county towns below, so it was not very obvious.
Now, with the two Grandmaster conducting the search, the problem was immediately discovered.
That day, Yi Yue and Gong Heqian met in Qiyun City. After exchanging the clues they had found, they realized that their previous guesses were all wrong.
The two discovered that almost all the unfamiliar martial artists appearing in Qi County were from Exotic Weapon Valley, meaning that Exotic Weapon Valley was the one targeting them.
Yi Yue looked at the disciples of Exotic Weapon Valley lying on the ground and said coldly, "Speak, how many of you have come? What is your purpose?"
The disciple from Exotic Weapon Valley looked at Yi Yue and Gong Heqian and sneered, "Want me to tell you? Come here, I'll tell you."
Yi Yue looked at the disciples of Exotic Weapon Valley and frowned. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Gong Heqian coldly said to the disciple of Exotic Weapon Valley, "If you confess honestly, I might consider sparing your life."
Gong Heqian finished speaking, a Grandmaster's aura suddenly descended from afar.
Yi Yue looked at the horizon with a strange expression, because he sensed another wave that made his heart tremble.
"Haha! Yi Yue, Gong Heqian, we've been waiting for you for so long, you've finally decided to come out." A burst of laughter came from afar.
Soon a group of figures appeared in the sky, with Qin Bailian leading ten Minor Grandmaster into the air.
Yi Yue, on the other hand, continued to stare intently at the distant sky, feeling a chilling energy emanating from there.
