Flowing Cloud Matriarch, Duanmu Haotian, Gongsun Haoyue, and Liu Xing were all stunned by Jiang Liu's series of actions.
However, everyone had different thoughts. Flowing Cloud Matriarch, Gongsun Haoyue, and Liu Xing were happy for Jiang Liu.
Although I knew beforehand that Jiang Liu's mental interrogation was extraordinary, I didn't expect it to be just as effective against even Peak Grandmaster. I can entrust all future interrogations to him.
As for Duanmu Haotian, he looked at Jiang Liu expressionlessly, his thoughts unknown.
After Jiang Liu finished questioning him, Duanmu Haotian asked Jiang Liu, "Check again to see if there are any omissions or errors."
Then, Jiang Liu repeated the previous steps, asking all the questions again.
After Jiang Liu asked the question again, Duanmu Haotian checked the previous questions and found that there was nothing wrong with them, so he was relieved.
Then, Duanmu Haotian said to Jiang Liu with admiration, "You did a great job. What reward do you want? Just say it!"
Jiang Liu shook his head and said, "Sect Leader Duanmu, you are too kind. As a member of the Flowing Cloud Sect, it is only right that I do these things."
Duanmu Haotian turned to Flowing Cloud Matriarch and said, "I really envy you for having such a good disciple."
Flowing Cloud Matriarch nodded in satisfaction and said, "You can't praise him too much, and this is all the result of his own hard work."
Duanmu Haotian nodded noncommittally, then stood up and said, "Now that the matter has been resolved, I'll go see Bo Ye first. As for Lu Tianheng, we'll deal with him in a few days!"
Flowing Cloud Matriarch nodded without saying anything, indicating his agreement.
Gongsun Haoyue also stood up at the same time, then bid farewell to Flowing Cloud Matriarch, and then turned to smile at Jiang Liu.
Then, Duanmu Haotian and Gongsun Haoyue left the Flowing Cloud Sect's headquarters together and flew towards their respective Sects' headquarters.
Shortly after the two left, Tang Wanyu and Chen Xiaoyun walked in together from outside.
When the two women entered, they were startled to see their sect leader there. They quickly bowed to the seated Flowing Cloud Matriarch and said, "Sect Leader."
Flowing Cloud Matriarch looked at the two women, her pretty face immediately turning cold, and said sternly, "Are you having fun here?"
Tang Wanyu and Chen Xiaoyun were so frightened that they trembled and didn't know how to answer.
Finally, Jiang Liu couldn't stand it anymore and quickly answered from the side, "Sect Master, Senior Sister and the others aren't playing around; they've been cultivating very diligently."
Meteor chimed in, "Yes, Sect Master, this is the first time these two girls have gone out since they arrived in Yunzhou."
Moreover, they practiced diligently every day, and their progress was not lagging behind at all.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch's expression softened, but when he turned to Jiang Liu,
His face regained its anger. "Your two senior sisters came out to find you. You haven't even sorted out your own affairs yet, and you're still defending them?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu's expression froze, and he stammered, unsure of how to respond.
"Alright, stop looking all wronged. I know the reason behind it. Actually, it's my fault for making a hasty decision without understanding the situation," Flowing Cloud Matriarch said helplessly.
Jiang Liu, Tang Wanyu, and Chen Xiaoyun were relieved to hear the sect leader's words.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch then turned to Liuxing and asked, "How is your progress in cultivating the Star Cloud Saint Art?"
Meteor smiled and said, "I have to thank Jiang Liu, Wanyu, and Xiaoyun. If it weren't for them, my cultivation progress wouldn't have been so fast."
Afterwards, Meteor explained his cultivation progress to Flowing Cloud Matriarch in detail, and then added, "Jiang Liu has completed the full strengthening of his bones."
Upon hearing this, Flowing Cloud Matriarch's face immediately lit up with a happy smile, and he said, "I didn't expect your cultivation speed to be so fast! Well done! You are the first person to complete the Bone Tempering using the Star Cloud Saint Art."
Afterwards, Flowing Cloud Matriarch asked Jiang Liu about some details after the bone strengthening was completed.
Jiang Liu answered all the questions one by one, and Liu Xing, Tang Wanyu, and Chen Xiaoyun listened very attentively.
Jiang Liu only stopped when it was lunchtime and a disciple came in to remind him.
Jiang Liu accompanied Flowing Cloud Matriarch and the others to have lunch before returning to the mansion by the mountain.
As soon as they returned to the mansion by the mountain, Murong Yin and Feng Yue came to greet them. Because Jiang Liu had been suddenly summoned away, he hadn't had time to inform them.
Jiang Liu casually offered some words of comfort and reassurance to the two women. Then, he recalled the information he had learned from Lu Tianheng earlier.
He hadn't expected that the cultivation technique Lu Tianheng was practicing was actually from the Bloodfiend Sect.
However, Lu Tianheng only revealed where the cultivation technique came from; he had never been in contact with anyone from the Bloodfiend Sect, so he had no idea where they were.
Judging from Duanmu Haotian's series of reactions, Jiang Liu realized that the problem with the Bloodfiend Sect must be quite serious; otherwise, it wouldn't have made him so nervous.
It's possible that his long absence from the Haotian Sect was related to this matter.
Jiang Liu shook his head at this thought, because even if what he thought was true, it had nothing to do with him.
After all, if even a Peak Grandmaster can't handle it, what can we do when we only have a Grandmaster?
Jiang Liu composed himself and began his daily cultivation routine, for only by becoming stronger could he survive the impending chaos.
Jiang Liu had already learned from Flowing Cloud Matriarch that the royal family actually had a Peak Grandmaster.
According to Jiang Liu's calculations, if this is true, the royal family will definitely cause trouble next. After all, the Martial Prohibition Hall is currently leaderless, which is the best time to subdue it.
If the royal family subdues the Martial Prohibition Hall, then the next step will definitely be to deal with the forces in the Jianghu.
Therefore, it can be inferred from this that the situation in the entire Daqian Dynasty will definitely become even more chaotic in the future.
At this point, the stances of the three sects become crucial, and Jiang Liu, as a disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, cannot remain uninvolved.
However, none of this mattered to Jiang Liu for the time being. Jiang Liu only released his thoughts slightly before gathering them up and focusing on his cultivation.
While Jiang Liu was cultivating at home, the three sects jointly issued a decree to the Jianghu, announcing that Lu Tianheng would be publicly beheaded in Qian Province three days later to resolve the turmoil caused by Lu Tianheng Jianghu.
This news immediately caused an uproar throughout the entire martial Jianghu of Daqian. Another piece of news also spread from this, that Lu Tianheng was actually practicing the Bloodfiend Art of the Bloodfiend Sect.
There is also a ban, and Lu Tianheng will serve as a warning to anyone who is found to be practicing the Bloodfiend Art.
This news also made some people hiding in the shadows even more vigilant, fearing that their practice of the Bloodfiend Art would be discovered.
