The Stir Caused by Jiang Liu's Exposed Strength
Subsequently, Li Moran quickly sent someone to He Prefecture to send a message, asking them to send more people over. Now, it would be up to the few of them to work harder and patrol the entire city.
Four Minor Grandmaster were stationed at the four city gates, while another person patrolled the area. Li Moran was stationed at the City Lord's Mansion.
As for the counties and towns under the Du Prefecture, Li Moran had no energy to deal with them.
Moreover, Li Moran's plan was not to occupy a lot of territory; he simply wanted to use it as a base to attract the Ji Family to come over.
Then, relying on Jiang Liu and his powerful beast-taming abilities, they further weakened the Ji Family's fighting strength.
Jiang Liu, with the Fire-Winged Monkey in tow, vanished into the dense forest outside the city. He wanted to see if any fools from the Ji Family would willingly walk into his trap.
As for Ji Xingyun, he was left to Li Moran to handle.
Unfortunately, Jiang Liu's wishful thinking failed. Even after Elder He and Li Qiaoyun arrived with their men to provide support, no one from the Ji Family came to rescue Ji Xingyun.
When Elder He and Li Qiaoyun learned that Ji Xingyun had been dealt with by Jiang Liu and his beast, their expressions were quite interesting.
Li Qiaoyun, in particular, was quite shocked by Jiang Liu's formidable fighting prowess.
You have to understand that his father was also Grandmaster, but if it came to dealing with another Grandmaster, his father alone simply couldn't do it.
Now that Jiang Liu can deal with a Grandmaster all by himself, doesn't that mean Jiang Liu can take care of his father all by himself?
This changed the way Li Qiaoyun looked at Jiang Liu; no one knew what she was planning.
Elder He, on the other hand, remained much calmer. He already knew that Jiang Liu had taken down two Grandmaster with just two Beast Kings.
Moreover, now that he's leading a Beast Emperor, taking down a Grandmaster would be a piece of cake.
Therefore, he was not worried at all that Jiang Liu would fail; all he wanted to know was how long Jiang Liu could stay here.
However, I had only heard Jiang Liu describe it before, but now I saw it with my own eyes, so I was still slightly surprised.
Jiang Liu, Elder He, and Li Moran sat in the council hall discussing matters. Li Qiaoyun, meanwhile, was serving tea and water; they were currently discussing what to do next.
"Uncle Li, what do you think now?" Jiang Liu asked first.
Li Moran pondered for a moment and said, "Nephew, although our combat strength seems to be on par with the Ji Family now, it is all thanks to your help."
"If you leave, and the Ji Family continues to attack us, I estimate we won't be able to hold out." Li Moran seemed to understand something.
The reason why the Ji Family did not attack them with all their might before was because the three sects were holding them back. Now that they have completely broken off relations, the Ji Family should show no mercy.
Moreover, judging from the Ji Family's previous actions, they were aiming to exterminate him and his Vast Righteous Sect.
The Ji Family hasn't come yet, probably because they're looking for the reason why Ji Xingyun was captured.
Therefore, Li Moran's tone was full of worry. The group then discussed the next steps for the Vast Righteous Sect.
As for whether Vast Righteous Sect will stay or leave, that will depend on how badly they defeat the Ji Family.
The reason why the Ji Family did not come to take revenge in time was indeed what Li Moran had guessed.
Jiang Liu acted so swiftly that he frightened the two Grandmaster of the Ji Family, so they dared not come alone.
In fact, when Jiang Liu knocked Ji Xingyun into the city wall, a Minor Grandmaster of the Ji Family escaped from the city to report the news.
After receiving the information, the Ji Family members quickly went to Ascension Tower to buy intelligence.
The Mo Family of Ascension Tower in Mo Province did not intend to conceal information from Jiang Liu. Moreover, based on the Ji Family's description, they directly told the Ji Family the answer: the person who appeared in Ducheng was very likely Jiang Liu.
When the Ji Family members learned that it was Jiang Liu, they immediately became nervous.
This is because Jiang Liu is not only powerful, but also True Inheritor Disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
Does Jiang Liu's move represent the will of the Flowing Cloud Sect? This is something we must find out.
However, they were then reminded by Ascension Tower that Jiang Liu was still a disciple of the Exotic Beast Valley, which eased their worries somewhat.
Because they knew that the Exotic Beast Valley had sent people to support the Vast Righteous Sect, and Jiang Liu was very likely to have come with the Exotic Beast Valley.
Later, they even sent people to Mo City to subtly inquire with the three sects. Only then did they realize that the three sects would never interfere in the conflicts between Jianghu factions.
Therefore, they could confirm that Jiang Liu was only representing the Exotic Beast Valley to support the Vast Righteous Sect.
Even so, it was still a huge headache for them, because if Jiang Liu could deal with Ji Xingyun all by himself, then who among them could deal with Jiang Liu?
Therefore, the Ji Family held meetings for several days in a row, but no result was reached.
In the end, they had no choice but to ask the other four families for help, hoping to receive support. If no one came to the aid of the Ji Family, the Vast Righteous Sect would probably come knocking on their door.
When that time comes, who will be able to stop Jiang Liu? Who can stand against Jiang Liu alone?
Moreover, the Vast Righteous Sect has several Grandmaster. If we can hold them back one by one, they will all end up like Ji Xingyun.
Therefore, they now deeply regret provoking the Vast Righteous Sect, which resulted in attracting Jiang Liu, this wicked star.
As the Ji Family sought help, news that Jiang Liu was a powerful Grandmaster gradually began to circulate among the Grandmaster of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Many Grandmaster were stunned when they found out, because in their understanding, after entering the Grandmaster Realm, it usually takes at least three people of the same level to keep someone of the same realm alive.
Unless it's someone of a higher level, like Peak Grandmaster, killing Grandmaster would be as easy as turning one's hand.
However, now there is someone like Jiang Liu who has captured a Grandmaster of the same level all by himself.
It's important to understand that this is capturing him alive, which is far more difficult than killing him. Furthermore, they personally went to the Ascending Ascension Tower to confirm the news of Ji Xingyun's capture.
Moreover, Jiang Liu has only been Grandmaster for a short time, yet he already possesses such formidable combat power; this is quite terrifying.
Most importantly, how old is he in terms of bone age? He's not even thirty yet, so is it possible for him to advance to the Peak Grandmaster level? That's hard to say.
Although he is only Grandmaster now, with Jiang Liu's combat strength, if not invincible among his peers, at least no one can defeat him when they are at the same level.
This is really frustrating, especially for those who previously had designs on Yunzhou, who now don't even dare to mention it.
As Jiang Liu's name spread, more details about Yunzhou also came to light, suggesting that the true mastermind behind Yunzhou was very likely Jiang Liu.
Why do I say this? Firstly, Jiang Liu has been living in Yunzhou for some time now.
Secondly, after Jiang Liu entered Yunzhou, he immediately wiped out the Sun Moon Sect. Although the stated reason was that the Sun Moon Sect members had harmed his wife Murong Yin.
However, a series of events that followed proved that Jiang Liu was now the true master of Yunzhou.
As for Exotic Weapon Valley and the Five Poisons Sect, they were probably just shields pushed out by Jiang Liu.
Of course, no one dared to protest at the Three Sects, after all, who knew what the Three Sects meant?
If this offends Jiang Liu, then it will be even more of a loss.
Therefore, none of the forces currently at war in Xun Province, which borders Yunzhou, want to provoke Jiang Liu, for who knows if he might cause trouble in Xun Province if he's unhappy.
Therefore, although Jiang Liu's strength has not yet reached the Peak Grandmaster, he is still someone that cannot be easily provoked in the hearts of all the Grandmaster.
