The next morning, when Jiang Liu got up, he turned around and found that Murong Yin and Feng Yue were already up.
When Jiang Liu finished washing up and came to the side hall, he found that Murong Yin and Feng Yue were already seated.
After the three of them finished a cozy breakfast, Murong Yin took out a packed package and handed it to Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu took the package, then hugged Murong Yin, and then hugged Feng Yue. After a short while, he let go.
Then, Jiang Liu flashed out of the side hall, where the Fire-Winged Monkey was already waiting in mid-air.
Jiang Liu leaped onto the seat Illusory Transformation by the Fire-Winged Monkey's energy. With a flap of the Fire-Winged Monkey's wings, the two flew towards Qi Province.
Jiang Liu transmitted his voice to Murong Yin and Feng Yue in mid-air, telling them to stay home and that he would be back soon.
As for the Frostwing Dragon and the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger, Jiang Liu Jiang Liu them in Cloud City to guard the city, issuing commands to them through his mental imprint.
Murong Yin and Feng Yue watched Jiang Liu's figure disappear into the distant sky, tears welled up in their eyes and flowed uncontrollably.
However, not long afterward, the two women composed themselves and went back to their work.
After several days of high-speed flight, Jiang Liu and the Fire-Winged Monkey finally entered the territory of Qi Province.
Jiang Liu looked at the thriving Qi Province and felt very happy, because under the governance of the Exotic Beast Valley, Qi Province had begun to become completely peaceful.
Especially after the Corpse Valley forces were completely eradicated, now only small forces remain in Qi Province, all relying on the Exotic Beast Valley for survival, so no one dares to cause trouble anymore.
Jiang Liu did not linger in Qi Province and flew directly towards Dui Province.
After more than ten days of flying, Jiang Liu finally entered Fei Prefecture, which was close to Dui Province.
Fei Prefecture is now under the jurisdiction of the Sword Worship Villa, while Ascension Tower in Dui Province is managed by the Sun Family belong to the new faction within Ascension Tower.
Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Liu did not intend to reveal his identity in Dui Province and went to Ascension Tower to look for information.
When Jiang Liu was almost at Fei City, the capital of Fei Prefecture, he flew off the back of the Fire-Winged Monkey sent it away, letting it find its own food in the nearby mountains.
Jiang Liu strolled alone through the streets of Fei City, looking at the relatively prosperous streets, but most of the people on the street looked pale and sickly.
Jiang Liu knew that Fei Prefecture was relatively peaceful under the rule of the Sword Worship Villa, but the lives of ordinary people were still difficult.
Jiang Liu went into a clothing store and bought a black cloak with a hood. Afterwards, he found an inn, asked the waiter for some information, and then booked a room to rest.
As night fell, Jiang Liu leaped from the inn's attic into the air and headed towards the address written in the previous intelligence report.
During the day, Jiang Liu had already asked the waiter for directions, and the building was quite unique. The top of the roof was made of iron blocks. He wondered what the people of the Dark Star Hall meant by doing this.
So Jiang Liu found the pavilion after flying for a short time. After finding the pavilion, Jiang Liu immediately released his Divine Sense to cover the entire pavilion.
Jiang Liu discovered that there were no experts in the entire pavilion; the strongest among them was only a Rank 6 Martial Practitioner.
This puzzled Jiang Liu. Could the information be wrong? Was this not the Dark Star Hall's secret base, but just the base of a small gang?
Jiang Liu leaped into the pavilion, unleashing his movement technique to search inside.
Based on the sensed fluctuations in vital energy, there were a total of twelve Ranked Martial Practitioner in the entire pavilion.
The strongest among them is a sixth-rank martial artist, followed by two fifth-rank martial artists, four Fourth Rank, and the rest are all low-rank martial artists.
Jiang Liu knocked them unconscious one by one, then gathered them in the courtyard. He wanted to find out exactly where this place was and why people from the Dark Star Hall had appeared here before.
Jiang Liu waved his hand, first waking up the Rank 6 Martial Practitioner, then spreading his Divine Sense to envelop him and began questioning him.
Soon, the Rank 6 Martial Practitioner could not resist Jiang Liu's intrusion of Divine Sense and honestly confessed everything.
This is when Jiang Liu realized that this place was indeed just the base of a small gang in Fei City, but this small gang was different from ordinary gangs.
Because they are a gang that takes on missions outside the main area, their way of survival depends on taking on missions and then collecting bounties.
As for the tasks they take on, they are all kinds of things, including murder. They will do anything as long as someone pays them, but they don't fight for territory.
Just last month, he accepted a mission from the Dark Star Hall, but he didn't know that the person who assigned him the mission was from the Dark Star Hall; he only knew that it was a mysterious person.
The task he was given was very simple: to deliver a letter.
This letter was sent to Rou County in the neighboring Tian Province, and was also given to a mysterious person. After delivering the letter to the designated place, he returned.
Perhaps it was just a coincidence that this mysterious person was discovered by the Ascension Tower's spies when he came here to complete a mission. But how did he know that it was someone from the Dark Star Hall? Perhaps he had his own unique methods.
At this point, Jiang Liu had a complete understanding of the whole story, including where the letter was sent.
After listening to this man recount the deeds of their gang, Jiang Liu immediately felt that these people deserved to die.
Without further hesitation, Jiang Liu gave each of them a strike of the Frost Nether Palm before flying out of the pavilion.
The next day, the news that all members of this well-known gang in Fei City had disappeared spread throughout the area.
After returning to the inn, Jiang Liu had a good night's rest.
The next morning, Jiang Liu checked out of the hotel and flew out of the Fei City. As soon as he left the Fei City, Jiang Liu summoned the Fire-Winged Monkey.
Before long, the Fire-Winged Monkey's enormous body came into Jiang Liu's sight.
Jiang Liu leaped onto the seat Illusory Transformation by the Fire-Winged Monkey's energy. The Fire-Winged Monkey then flapped its wings and flew towards the direction of Rou County in Tian Province.
After three days of high-speed flight, Jiang Liu and the Fire-Winged Monkey entered the territory of Rou County in Tian Province. After another half day of flight, the huge city wall of Rou City in Rou County finally came into Jiang Liu's sight.
To avoid causing panic, Jiang Liu got off the Fire-Winged Monkey's back early and sent it away.
Jiang Liu flew towards Rou City alone. As soon as he got close to Rou City, several figures flew out from the city wall.
Jiang Liu took one look and saw that these people were all wearing the uniforms of the Martial Prohibition Hall. He couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he hadn't seen anyone from the Martial Prohibition Hall in a long time.
The leader of the city's garrison bowed to Jiang Liu and asked, "Does Your Excellency wish to enter Rou City?"
Jiang Liu nodded, then asked suspiciously, "Is there a problem?"
Sensing the aura of Grandmaster emanating from Jiang Liu, the leader had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue, "Please register to the side before entering Rou City."
Jiang Liu frowned slightly. "When did this rule come into being for entering Rou City?"
The leader could only bow and continue, "Now, all martial artists who want to enter Rou City must register. This is an order from our deputy commander."
"Deputy Commander?" Jiang Liu frowned even more deeply upon hearing this, thinking to himself, if that's the case, wouldn't that mean that each of the thirteen prefectures of Tian Province would have a Grandmaster deputy commander stationed there to guard the city?
Now, the entire Tian Province is not exactly as stable as Mount Tai, but at the very least, any petty scoundrel who tries to cause trouble is simply courting death.
That would make it even more difficult for the Moonfall Sect and the Zheng Family to escape.
