After Jiang Liu saw that Yi Yue had finished swearing, he immediately said to Qin Bailian, "Give him back his whistle. From now on, the Five Poisons Sect will be one of our own."
Qin Bailian glanced at Jiang Liu with a strange look, but he dared not disobey Jiang Liu's order and quickly returned the whistle to Yi Yue.
Yi Yue took the whistle, put it in the mouthpiece and blew it once, Qin Bailian immediately tensed up.
Then came a series of strange noises. The poisonous insects that were still unconscious but not dead were gradually waking up and began to retreat in an orderly manner.
Jiang Liu turned to Yi Yue and said, "Go back and reorganize the Five Poisons Sect. Qin Bailian, you assist him. Reorganize it according to my requirements. Once it's done, come to Yun City. I have something for you to do."
After Jiang Liu finished explaining Yi Yue, he took the Fire-Winged Monkey and flew directly towards Xun Province next door. He planned to talk to Chen Bo of the Heaven One Sect.
According to news from the Ascension Tower, the people of Xun Province, under the rule of the Ghost School, are living in even worse conditions than in the places previously ruled by the Sun Moon Sect.
Gong Heqian looked at Yi Yue and asked, "Master, what's going on?"
Yi Yue sighed and recounted his oath to Jiang Liu.
Qin Bailian felt uneasy upon hearing this, because Jiang Liu hadn't asked him to swear an oath! Now that he had the Yi Yue, would he no longer need to pledge his loyalty?
No, the next time I see Jiang Liu, I must swear allegiance to Jiang Liu. Looking at Yi Yue's miserable state today, Qin Bailian couldn't help but shudder.
Actually, Jiang Liu didn't Qin Bailian swear an oath because he had already killed the members of the Deity Summoning Society. Jiang Liu wasn't afraid that Qin Bailian would rebel, so he could only continue to eliminate the remaining members of the Deity Summoning Society.
Jiang Liu will have Exotic Weapon Valley govern Yunzhou, because Jiang Liu doesn't have a suitable candidate at the moment, so he has to put Qin Bailian in this position for the time being.
However, now that the Five Poisons Sect has pledged allegiance, things may change in the future, so Qin Bailian is still quite self-aware.
After two days of flying, the Fire-Winged Monkey and Jiang Liu finally entered the territory of Xun Province, which was under the jurisdiction of the Heaven One Sect Yin County. Xun Province's Yin County was adjacent to Yunzhou's Qi County.
Xun Province has eleven prefectures: Yin County, Gan County, Yun County, Pan County, Xun County, Yu County, Zheng County, Rong County, Dou County, Kui County, Qi County.
The Ghost School occupied nine prefectures, including the state capital, and gave one Yin County Heaven One Sect, to the Tianyi Sect and another Yun County Prefecture, to the Hundred Weapons Valley. As for the legendary Corpse Valley's headquarters in Xun Province, it should be located deep in the mountains and forests.
Looking at the relatively peaceful and prosperous common people of Yin County, Jiang Liu's opinion of the Heaven One Sect finally turned positive.
Unlike the Lotus Sect, which is nominally a righteous sect but has done many evil things and is secretly practicing evil arts, Jiang Liu learned this news from Ascension Tower.
Jiang Liu entered Yin City, the county seat of Yin County, alone and quickly found the headquarters of the Heaven One Sect.
Jiang Liu arrived at the gate of the Heaven One Sect's residence, took out his identity token True Inheritor Disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, and handed it to the Heaven One Sect's guard.
The Heaven One Sect's guards took Jiang Liu's identity token and were immediately shocked. They quickly bowed deeply to Jiang Liu and said, "We were unaware of Jiang Zhenren's arrival. We will immediately inform our sect leader and invite him in."
After saying that, he quickly gave a wink to another guard disciple beside him, and then hurriedly used his movement technique to head inside the gate.
Another guard disciple said to Jiang Liu, "Master Jiang, please come with me."
After saying that, he led the way, taking Jiang Liu directly through the gate and towards the council hall.
The guard disciple ran all the way to Chen Bo's courtyard, where he saw their leader reclining on a deck chair, rocking leisurely.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, Jiang Liu, the true disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, has arrived here," the guard disciple reported to Chen Bo.
"Jiang Liu? What's he doing here? Where is he now?" Chen Bo stood up, took the identity token handed to Jiang Liu by the guard disciple, looked at it, and asked.
"Jiang Zhenchuan is already waiting in the council hall!" the guard disciple replied.
"I understand, you can go now!" Chen Bo waved his hand, dismissing the guarding disciple.
As Chen Bo pondered why Jiang Liu had come to see him, he headed towards the council hall.
Soon, Chen Bo arrived at the courtyard of the council hall. Even before he arrived, he sensed an unfathomable aura in the council hall. He was startled. How could Jiang Liu's strength have advanced so quickly?
"Nephew Jiang, what brings you here today?" Chen Bo said loudly before even entering the council hall.
Jiang Liu had just taken a sip of the tea offered by the Heaven One Sect disciple when he heard Chen Bo's voice. He stood up and soon saw Chen Bo appear at the entrance of the hall.
"Uncle, I happen to be in Qi County these days, so I came to catch up with you. I hope you won't be unwelcome!" Jiang Liu said with a smile.
"Qijun? From Yunzhou?" Chen Bo asked doubtfully, and then handed Jiang Liu's identity token back to Jiang Liu. Then he waved to the serving disciple on the side and asked him to retreat.
Jiang Liu accepted the identity token, nodded, and said, "It's from Yunzhou."
"Nephew, what brings you to this remote county? Has something happened? Please sit down and tell me," Chen Bo asked with slight curiosity.
After Jiang Liu sat down, he casually made up an excuse to brush the matter aside, and then asked, "Uncle, have you looked into the situation in other counties of Xun Province?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Bo immediately looked up at Jiang Liu, but his gaze gradually turned dangerous.
"What do you mean by asking that, my dear nephew?" Chen Bo asked slowly.
"Uncle, there's no need to be so nervous. I was just saying it casually!" Jiang Liu reassured him.
Chen Bo looked at Jiang Liu with an expression as if he were an idiot, his meaning quite clear: you keep talking nonsense, and I'll keep listening.
Jiang Liu smiled at Chen Bo with a slightly embarrassed expression, then straightened his face and said, "Alright, Uncle, let's not talk about those useless things. Don't you have any other plans for staying in this corner?"
Jiang Liu then released his Divine Sense to envelop the entire council hall. Chen Bo looked at Jiang Liu in astonishment, never expecting that Jiang Liu's spiritual power cultivation was so profound.
Jiang Liu then relayed what he knew to Chen Bo, all of which concerned the situation in the county controlled by the Ghost School.
After listening, Chen Bo fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time.
He didn't know what Jiang Liu meant by telling him all this. Was it truly out of compassion? Because he couldn't stand the evil deeds of the Ghost School? Or did he have some other purpose?
However, he had only heard about the events in other counties of Xun Province before, and he really did not expect that the Ghost School would go so far.
Thinking back to how Xun Province had always been under the high-pressure control of the Ghost School, and now it had become even more severe, almost turning the entire Xun Province into a ghost realm.
Previously, Corpse Valley would occasionally cause trouble, but now Corpse Valley has almost disappeared from Xun Province. I wonder if it has gone to other states to stir up trouble.
Then Chen Bo thought about the current situation of his Heaven One Sect and sighed inwardly.
"Nephew, it's not that your uncle is unaware of these circumstances, it's just that your uncle is powerless to help!" Chen Bo said in a heavy tone.
Jiang Liu nodded knowingly. He knew, of course, that Heaven One Sect couldn't withstand Ghost School. If it weren't for the restraint of the three sects, Ghost School might have destroyed Heaven One Sect.
The fact that they've still reserved a county for the Heaven One Sect is already the biggest concession the Ghost School has made.
