Jiang Liu left the Flowing Cloud Sect's mountain range alone. He left the Fire-Winged Monkey at the Flowing Cloud Sect, not wanting it to appear in front of the Haotian Sect members.
After arriving in Qiancheng, Jiang Liu headed straight for the Ascension Tower.
As soon as Jiang Liu approached the Ascension Tower, Old Man Luo's loud laughter came from the top floor.
Then, Old Man Luo's figure flew out from the Ascension Tower and laughed at Jiang Liu, "You've been in Qiancheng for so long and haven't come to see me. What? Have you forgotten about me?"
"How could that be? Something just happened before, so I didn't have time to come and visit you," Jiang Liu explained.
Old Man Luo led Jiang Liu into the secret room on the top floor of Ascension Tower. After the two sat down in the reception area, Jiang Liu took the initiative to brew tea.
Old Man Luo watched Jiang Liu skillfully brew tea with effortless ease and smiled with satisfaction.
Soon, Jiang Liu poured a cup of tea for Old Man Luo, and then picked up a cup and drank it himself.
"What happened to you before?" Old Man Luo asked first.
Jiang Liu told Old Man Luo about being pursued by Lu Tianheng.
After listening to Jiang Liu's story, Old Man Luo frowned immediately.
He knew about the disappearances of several Grandmaster in Qian Province some time ago, but he never expected that Lu Tianheng was behind it.
However, no more Grandmaster have gone missing in Qian Province during this period, so it seems that Lu Tianheng has already left Qian Province.
However, in Xun Province, Old Man Luo knew that two Grandmaster had already died in battle.
Afterwards, Jiang Liu asked Old Man Luo about the situation in Yunzhou and the Vast Righteous Sect.
Old Man Luo went into the back room, and after a while, he came out with several secret scrolls in his hand and handed them to Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu took the secret scroll and opened the first one, which contained information about the Vast Righteous Sect.
It turns out that Vast Righteous Sect has only just arrived in Heng County, and it will probably take some time before they reach Qian Prefecture.
However, nothing happened along the way, so it seems that Flowing Cloud Matriarch's arrangements were effective.
Jiang Liu then opened another secret scroll, this one concerning the situation in Yunzhou.
Yunzhou is getting better and better, and is becoming more and more prosperous and stable.
Murong Yin and Feng Yue did not disappoint Jiang Liu's expectations, and they governed the entire Yunzhou in an orderly manner.
Jiang Liu was overjoyed to see this, as the two girls' growth was clearly visible.
Of course, this is also inseparable from their efforts. Murong Yin is a little better, after all, she used to manage the affairs of Ascension Tower.
However, given Feng Yue's personality, the fact that she could calm down and focus on her work shows how much determination she had put in.
Then, Jiang Liu opened another secret scroll, and the information he learned from it made Jiang Liu pause for a moment.
It turns out this was about the situation in Xun Province. Now, the entire Xun Province, apart from the territory of the Heaven One Sect and the Hundred Craft Hall, is practically a battlefield.
The reason why this happened can be traced back to the Buddhist community's provision of manpower to Xun Province.
Ever since the Buddhist sect sent additional personnel to Xun Province, Kuang Qianzi has been unable to contain herself and wants to take action against the five great families and the Ghost School Alliance.
Moreover, at that time, the Ji Family's Grandmaster was tied up in Mo Province by the Vast Righteous Sect, while the Ye and Liu Family sent their Grandmaster to provide support.
Therefore, Kuang Qianzi believes that the best time to attack has arrived.
Just as she was about to launch an attack, news came from the neighboring state that Xiahou Yi had also advanced to the Grandmaster level. This made Kuang Qianzi even more restless.
Subsequently, Kuang Qianzi began to make arrangements. According to the previous plan, she first led her men to wipe out all the Ghost School personnel stationed in Kui County.
When this news reached Xun County, Feng Qi was furious. He then joined forces with the Grandmaster sent by the Wang Family, Ye, Liu Family, and Li Family to surround and attack Kui County.
Not long after, Grandmaster battle broke out between the two forces in Kui County.
Before this battle began, the Daoist sect also sent Grandmaster to participate in the war.
This directly resulted in the Lotus Sect Alliance having several more Grandmaster than the Five Great Clans Alliance.
Therefore, in this battle, both the Ghost School and the Wang Family lost a Grandmaster, and the alliance of the two families of Minor Grandmaster lost several of their own.
The remaining Grandmaster were all wounded. The Lotus Sect Alliance originally wanted to press their advantage, but the Ji Family had already brought reinforcements from Mo Province.
Finally, both sides had no choice but to suppress their anger and retreat.
However, with the arrival of the Ji Family reinforcements, it is estimated that the two sides will definitely resume fighting soon, after all, both the Wang Family and the Ghost School have had a Grandmaster killed.
They definitely want revenge, otherwise they won't be able to explain it to the Wang Family and the Ghost School.
Jiang Liu was also amazed when he saw the battle situation in Xun Province.
I never expected that Xun Province would gather so many Grandmaster.
Jiang Liu casually counted, and there were at least thirty Grandmaster from both sides, which was quite terrifying.
You should know that seeing a Grandmaster in a county town was already considered quite rare.
Jiang Liu looked at the secret scroll in his hand and fell into deep thought.
If this trend continues, it's estimated that the Grandmaster of those factions will have to fight to the last man before they stop.
Even if they don't give up everything, I still want to do my part to help them.
After all, both the Five Great Families Alliance and the Lotus Sect Alliance were considered his enemies.
Old Man Luo didn't disturb Jiang Liu because he knew Jiang Liu was probably contemplating the gains and losses.
Yunzhou is right next to Xun Province. Now that Xun Province is in such a state of fighting, Yunzhou is at risk of being affected at any time.
Not long after, Jiang Liu snapped out of his reverie and looked at Old Man Luo, saying, "Old Master, what are your thoughts on the situation in Xun Province?"
"Given their respective strengths, the fight is far from over. It won't be easy to determine a winner," Old Man Luo said slowly.
Jiang Liu nodded in agreement.
Old Man Luo continued, "However, the Lotus Sect Alliance is not united internally, especially due to the conflict between Buddhism and Daoism."
"You mean the Five Great Families Alliance will use this to their advantage and defeat the Lotus Sect Alliance piecemeal?" Jiang Liu asked.
Old Man Luo nodded and said, "After all, the Lotus Sect Alliance has the upper hand now, and the Five Great Families Alliance will definitely incite their internal conflicts."
"Moreover, the conflict between Buddhism and Daoism has a long history, and it doesn't take much effort to completely escalate it."
Jiang Liu couldn't help but nod in agreement, after all, Old Man Luo's analysis was quite insightful.
"Another, more important point is the hidden dangers of Corpse Valley. If the five great families find any clues about it, they will definitely expose it."
"At that time, not only the Lotus Sect Alliance, but even the Lotus Sect itself might be wiped out," Old Man Luo continued his analysis.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu realized that things might not be going well. If the two sides didn't fight to the death, but instead the alliance of the five great families won, then he would have a real headache.
