Preparations for a Conference Among the Three Sects
After resolving Lu Tianheng's matter, Flowing Cloud Matriarch, Gongsun Haoyue, and Duanmu Haotian returned to their respective Sects locations in Qian Province.
After all, they still need to discuss how to deal with the Great Qian Imperial Family.
Now that the existence of Peak Grandmaster has been exposed in the Great Qian Imperial Family, will the three sects unite to continue to attack the royal family, or will they each take a step back?
If they join forces to attack the Great Qian Imperial Family, they will have to face two Peak Grandmaster at the same time. Can they kill them with one blow like they did with Lu Tianheng?
However, if they cannot be killed in one blow, it will be a significant blow to the prestige of the three sects.
The various forces in the Jianghu are now watching the next move of the three sects. Since the Martial Prohibition Hall has been disbanded, the three sects will now have to confront the Great Qian Imperial Family directly.
Currently, the three sects have not yet spread the news that the royal family possesses Peak Grandmaster. If this news were to spread, and the three sects had not taken any action, it would be disastrous.
That would be a significant blow to the prestige of the three sects. It should be noted that the three sects have always been wary of other Jianghu forces capable of advancing to the Peak Grandmaster.
The control is extremely strict; once it is revealed that any faction has Peak Grandmaster will be severe.
The three sects will definitely join forces to attack until they kill that Peak Grandmaster, only then will the matter be settled.
Just like Ji Qiang, the Old Ancestor of the Ji Family, who had been in seclusion for so long because he didn't want to be exposed, he had already strengthened his body to the Peak Grandmaster.
He originally thought he could kill Jiang Liu with one blow, but instead he exposed himself and attracted Lu Tianheng.
When Dao Fan Shangren advanced to the Peak Grandmaster realm last time, it was Duanmu Haotian who led the three sects to launch an attack, wanting to kill Dao Fan Shangren.
As a result, when the three of them arrived and were fighting, Lu Tianheng also advanced to the Peak Grandmaster. The two of them joined forces to fight against the three sects.
Finally, left with no other choice, the three sect leaders swallowed their anger. After that, the three sects gradually relinquished their involvement in the affairs of the Jianghu.
This also resulted in the royal family suddenly having two Peak Grandmaster at the pinnacle of their abilities. If Lu Tianheng's mind hadn't changed later, the three sects would probably have been quite troubled.
Fortunately, Lu Tianheng brought this upon himself, and the three sect leaders seized the opportunity to kill him, and even dragged Dao Fan Shangren into it.
Unexpectedly, a royal descendant has now emerged as Peak Grandmaster.
The current Jiang Zongquan is truly giving the three sect leaders a headache.
However, since Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Xing Gongsun Haoyue are currently cultivating the Star Cloud Saint Art, they are confident in their abilities.
They actually wanted to leave things as they were, letting those Jianghu forces drag down the royal family's power.
Then, the three sects would intimidate the National Preceptor's Mansion and the Great Qian Imperial Family, preventing them from allowing Peak Grandmaster to participate in the war.
At the very least, we need to hold out until they complete their bone-strengthening Bone Tempering. Then, they can work together to deal with Dao Fan and Jiang Zongquan.
Therefore, the three decided that after returning, they would each convene their Sects meetings, and then the three sects would discuss and decide what to do as soon as possible.
Should we continue to let those Jianghu factions deal with the royal family, or should the three sects personally join the battle? This is something that needs to be discussed and clarified together.
Not long after, Flowing Cloud Matriarch sent a message, asking Jiang Liu to return to the Sects, as this was a major matter concerning the Flowing Cloud Sect.
As True Inheritor Disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, how could Jiang Liu possibly remain uninvolved?
After receiving the letter, Jiang Liu quickly packed his things, bid farewell to Murong Yin and Feng Yue, and then embarked on his journey back to the Flowing Cloud Sect with the Fire-Winged Monkey.
As for Tang Wanyu and Chen Xiaoyun, they had already returned with Flowing Cloud Matriarch.
Even Elder Liuxing had already returned before Jiang Liu.
When Jiang Liu brought the Fire-Winged Monkey back to the Flowing Cloud Sect, he sent the Fire-Winged Monkey back to where it had been before.
He headed to the council hall alone, and along the way, Jiang Liu realized that the entire Flowing Cloud Sect was truly bustling with activity.
Jiang Liu guessed that the Flowing Cloud Sect hadn't been this lively in a long time.
Along the way, all the Grandmaster and elders greeted Jiang Liu with smiles on their faces.
Jiang Liu responded politely to each of them, without showing any impatience.
Immediately, those Grandmaster and Elders who were seeing Jiang Liu for the first time were very satisfied with Jiang Liu performance.
After all, Jiang Liu was already Grandmaster at a young age. Not only was he exceptionally talented, but he was also extremely loyal to the Sects, as evidenced by the fact that he contributed the correct Star Cloud Saint Art to the Sects.
More importantly, they lacked the youthful impetuosity of younger people and treated all the elders with utmost respect.
Jiang Liu went straight to the council hall. After entering the council hall, he saw that Flowing Cloud Matriarch was sitting at the head of the table, and there were elders reporting on the situation below.
Jiang Liu stood aside consciously, not daring to make a sound to disturb them, and then nodded to the other elders standing to the side as a greeting.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch looked up and saw Jiang Liu had arrived. He nodded to him and said, "Take a rest today and come to the meeting tomorrow."
Jiang Liu nodded in agreement, then turned and left the hall, heading towards his own courtyard.
On the way, Jiang Liu ran into his second senior sister, Qiao Jiao. When Qiao Jiao saw Jiang Liu, a gentle smile immediately appeared on her face, and she said to Jiang Liu, "Junior brother is back!"
Jiang Liu nodded to Qiao Jiao, "Yes! Senior Sister, I just arrived, what brings you here?"
"I'm here to report some things to the Sect Master," Qiao Jiao replied. "Has Junior Brother already reported to the Sect Master?"
"Okay! I'm going back to my place now."
"Then you go back first! I'll come find you later!"
Jiang Liu nodded and said, "Okay!"
Qiao Jiao watched Jiang Liu walk away before turning around and entering the hall.
Jiang Liu returned to his courtyard and found it had been cleaned. He casually put down his luggage and then quickly washed up.
Then they went to the stone table next to the training square, where they made tea and rested.
Before she had even finished her cup of tea, Tang Wanyu skipped and hopped in.
When Jiang Liu saw this senior sister, he immediately felt a headache coming on. It wasn't for any particular reason; Jiang Liu was just afraid that she would play a prank on him.
"Junior brother, did you just arrive?" Tang Wanyu asked.
"Hmm! Senior Sister, is there something you need to talk to me about?" Jiang Liu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Tang Wanyu.
Tang Wanyu took the tea, took a sip, put the tea down, then looked down at Jiang Liu and said angrily, "What? Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"
Jiang Liu could only smile helplessly at Tang Wanyu and said, "How could that be? Senior Sister can come to me anytime!"
Tang Wanyu smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's more like it, Junior Brother. Let's go out and have some fun while we have some free time!"
Jiang Liu looked helpless and was about to answer.
