As soon as Jiang Liu arrived in front of the Ascension Tower, Mo Qian immediately bowed to Jiang Liu and said, "Senior, I am Mo Qian. Please forgive me for not greeting you properly."
Jiang Liu remained expressionless and said calmly, "No need for formalities. I've come to see you today because I have something to discuss with you."
The relationship between the Mo Family and the Murong Family in Ascension Tower of Mo Province is not very harmonious. Therefore, Jiang Liu doesn't need to give Mo Qian any face and can just handle things officially.
Mo Qian quickly ushered Jiang Liu into the secret room, then called for tea to be served before asking Jiang Liu, "Senior, what is it you wish to ask?"
Jiang Liu thought for a moment and said, "Please bring me the latest intelligence on the forces in Mo Province and the latest intelligence on the forces in Tian Province!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Qian immediately got up and walked towards the back room. A short while later, Mo Qian emerged with several sheets of paper in his hand.
"Senior, please take a look." Mo Qian handed the paper in his hand to Jiang Liu.
After Jiang Liu took the paper, he glanced at it briefly, put it in his pocket, and then stood up and asked Mo Qian to pay the bill.
After Mo Qian finished calculating the bill, Jiang Liu paid it. Then, with a flash, he left the secret room and flew out of the Ascension Tower.
Mo Qian watched Jiang Liu's departing figure, his eyes deep and unfathomable, his gaze flickering, as if he were lost in thought.
After a long while, he sent the news of Jiang Liu's appearance in Mo Province to Mo Prefecture through the Ascension Tower.
Jiang Liu had no idea that Mo Qian had recognized him and had even spread the news of his presence in Mo Province.
After leaving Ascension Tower, Jiang Liu randomly found an inn in the city center near Ascension Tower and went inside.
With the help of the waiter, Jiang Liu checked into a room at the inn and settled in before taking out the papers again to look at them.
After reading it, a ball of fire appeared in Jiang Liu's palm, burning all the papers to ashes.
Then he sat down at the table and began to think quietly. The situation of the Vast Righteous Sect in Mo Province was quite dire.
Of course, if things were going well, the Vast Righteous Sect wouldn't have asked the Exotic Beast Valley and Yunzhou for help.
The Vast Righteous Sect, which previously governed five prefectures, now only has Wei Prefecture and He Prefecture left. The other three prefectures have fallen into the hands of the Ji Family.
It was precisely because the Ji Family had already seized three counties from the Vast Righteous Sect that they temporarily halted their offensive.
Because the Ji Family was also afraid that the Vast Righteous Sect would fight to the death, and because their territory had expanded, the Ji Family's manpower was becoming increasingly insufficient.
Therefore, the current situation in Mo Province is that the Vast Righteous Sect and the Ji Family have temporarily ceased hostilities. However, it is only a matter of time before the two sides recover and resume hostilities.
Both sides are currently just recovering from their injuries. After all, the feud between the two factions has been going on for a long time, and both sides have had relatives and disciples die at the hands of the other.
If the Ji Family hadn't received external help this time, they wouldn't have been able to defeat the Vast Righteous Sect so easily.
Then Jiang Liu thought of the Tian Province, which was slowly starting to fall into chaos.
It's not that things were chaotic, but the Moonfall Sect and the Zheng Family were facing increasingly difficult times.
This led to the Moonfall Sect members and Zheng Family disciples frequently causing trouble in various places, and their friction with the Confucian school was increasing and becoming more and more excessive.
Because the Confucian school and the National Preceptor's Mansion are launching a comprehensive attack on the Moonfall Sect and the Zheng Family, they are probably preparing to eradicate these two forces in one fell swoop.
Therefore, the decision not to immediately launch a war against these two forces may be a consideration made to maintain stability in Tian Province.
After all, if war breaks out directly, the loss will be the same for the Great Qian Dynasty, and the damage to ordinary people will be even greater if the two sides go to war directly.
But it was precisely this slow, insidious process that made things even more difficult for both the Moonfall Sect and the Zheng Family.
If the Confucian school and the National Preceptor's Mansion's Mansion went to war right away, that would be better.
After all, they know how to deal with such open and direct combat.
It's better than just watching helplessly as the Confucian school and the National Preceptor's Mansion attack them, while they are powerless to do anything about it.
However, they dare not be the first to start a war, because if they were, they would give others something to criticize.
At that time, the National Preceptor's Mansion and the Great Qian Imperial Family will have a reason to deal with them directly.
Currently, it is mainly the Confucian school that is cracking down on them, the National Preceptor's Mansion is only helping them in secret, and the Great Qian Imperial Family has not taken any action at all.
Therefore, the Moonfall Sect and the Zheng Family still held onto a sliver of hope. As for what they truly thought, only they themselves knew.
The news coming from the Ascension Tower indicates that both the Moonfall Sect and the Zheng Family are making moves.
As for whether they wanted to escape Tian Province or directly wage war against the Confucian School, there was no further information from the Ascension Tower.
However, after analyzing the relative strengths of both sides, Jiang Liu concluded that they likely intended to withdraw from Tian Province.
As for whether they could evacuate Tian Province, Jiang Liu thought that each prefecture was guarded by a Grandmaster of the Martial Prohibition Hall, so it would probably be difficult for them to evacuate.
Unless the Martial Prohibition Hall simply ignores them and lets them leave, the Moonfall Sect and the Zheng Family will likely be wiped out, or at least very few will survive, if they try to leave Tian Province.
However, the Martial Prohibition Hall itself is currently in disarray, as Lu Tianheng is not in Tian Province, so whether the royal family will intervene is a mystery.
Jiang Liu shook his head, suppressing these thoughts, then left the room and called the waiter to bring the food.
After finishing his dinner, Jiang Liu relaxed and rested in his room, not cultivating that night. After all, continuous flying had been tiring, and he needed to relax.
The next morning, Jiang Liu woke up in bed. He felt a wave of relief wash over him, the fatigue from the battle and the recovery from his injuries instantly gone.
After having breakfast in the inn's lobby, Jiang Liu paid the bill at the counter. Once outside the inn, he leaped into the air and flew towards the outskirts of the city.
When Jiang Liu flew outside the city, he immediately summoned the Fire-Winged Monkey.
Before long, the Fire-Winged Monkey's enormous body flew in from a distance, and Jiang Liu Fire-Winged Monkey directly towards it.
Some of the people queuing to enter the city were dumbfounded by what they saw, while others looked on with envy.
Many martial artists trembled as they sensed the powerful aura emanating from the Fire-Winged Monkey and Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu had no time to care about their reactions. After getting on the Fire-Winged Monkey's back, he ordered the Fire-Winged Monkey to fly towards He Prefecture.
Fire-Winged Monkey carried Jiang Liu at high speed for three consecutive days and finally arrived at He Prefecture.
Before Jiang Liu and the Fire-Winged Monkey even got close to He Prefecture, several figures flew out.
Jiang Liu sensed the aura of Minor Grandmaster emanating from them, as well as the robes of the Vast Righteous Sect they were wearing, and immediately ordered the Fire-Winged Monkey to stop.
"May I ask if you wish to enter the city, sir, or are you merely passing through?" The leader of the Vast Righteous Sect's City Patrol asked Jiang Liu respectfully.
"I am Jiang Liu, and I am looking for your leader," Jiang Liu said.
