Flowing Cloud Sect's Internal Investigation

After everyone had finished their discussion, Flowing Cloud Matriarch brought up the matter of the Bloodfiend Sect's resurgence in the Jianghu. The first thing to do now was to start the investigation from within the Sects itself.

The discussion surrounding this matter was much more lively, with everyone offering various suggestions.

After all, this is something everyone hates, and it also concerns their own interests.

Only by completely eradicating the Bloodfiend Sect's power can the safety of everyone's descendants, including ourselves, be guaranteed. After all, no one wants to be constantly watched in the shadows.

In conclusion, it all boils down to the fact that the Grandmaster Elders who started strengthening their Bone Tempering took action first, thoroughly investigating all the Core Disciple.

Next come the Inner Sect Disciple, and finally the even larger number of Outer Sect Disciple.

As for the Servant Disciple, the Sects simply doesn't have the resources or time to investigate them all at the moment.

After all, even if someone from the Bloodfiend Sect infiltrated among the Servant Disciple, they wouldn't be able to uncover any secrets.

However, from now on, Servant Disciple who wants to be promoted to Outer Sect Disciple must pass a special test. Only after passing the test can they be promoted.

This way, starting with the Outer Sect Disciple, the purity of all disciples in the Sects can be maintained.

The elders who had already begun strengthening their Bone Tempering all had no objection to this decision.

After all, doing this is for the good of the entire Sects, and they are already more than one step ahead of those elders who are only now learning the Star Cloud Saint Art.

After arranging the self-inspection within the Sects, Flowing Cloud Matriarch called upon the elders present.

They began reporting detailed information from each state to see if anything unusual was found.

The elders stationed in each state began to report on the situation in their respective states, but the reports were similar to the intelligence provided by the Ascension Tower, with nothing unusual.

It can only be said that these members of the Bloodfiend Sect are truly well hidden, without revealing their true colors at all.

These meetings went on until dinner time.

After everyone had dinner together in the council hall, they all moved to the training plaza that had been specially expanded.

Jiang Liu watched as the thirty-odd Grandmaster, along with the other twelve True Inheritor Disciple, headed towards the cultivation plaza.

He couldn't help but marvel at how many Grandmaster there were in the Sects; no wonder they had been able to suppress the world for so long.

It's probably because the three sects have such abundant cultivation resources, and it's also related to the fact that the three sects have top-tier cultivation techniques.

However, to reach the Peak Grandmaster before reaching the age limit, one really needs to have exceptional talent.

Fortunately, the Peak Grandmaster in the three sects has never been interrupted, which is why they have remained so powerful.

However, Duanmu Haotian, the current sect leader of Haotian Sect, is also nearing the life limit of Peak Grandmaster.

He was much older than Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue, roughly the same age as the previous sect leaders of the Flowing Cloud Sect and Star Moon Sect.

If no one in the Haotian Sect can advance to the level of Peak Grandmaster within the next twenty or thirty years, then the Haotian Sect will likely face a shortage of Peak Grandmaster.

Therefore, the undercurrents within the Haotian Sect are not only due to Duanmu Haotian's departure, but also the predicament of having no successor.

If no one can advance to the Peak Grandmaster, then the Haotian Sect will definitely fight each other to seize the position of Sect Master.

Jiang Liu followed the others to the cultivation square, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

There are fifteen Grandmaster Elders remaining in the Flowing Cloud Sect mountain range, ten of whom have already learned the skills.

The remaining five elders were perhaps too old to continue their cultivation.

The ten Grandmaster Elders dispatched to other prefectures in Qian Province had never studied it.

As for the resident elders from other states, there are twelve of them, but only one of them studied meteorology in Yunzhou.

This was only taught to her by Chen Xiaoyun after obtaining permission from Flowing Cloud Matriarch.

After everyone arrived at the destination, the elders and True Inheritor Disciple who had already learned the Star Cloud Saint Art first gave one-on-one guidance to the newly learned elders.

Before long, the entire content was explained. As expected, those who can advance to the Grandmaster level have good intelligence and memory, and they memorized it in one go.

Perhaps it's related to having studied the previous version, since the new version only modified some key aspects.

Subsequently, more than forty people gathered together in the cultivation plaza and began to practice the Star Cloud Saint Art, drawing down the Star Power to strengthen their bodies.

Suddenly, the sky above the entire cultivation plaza seemed to brighten considerably.

The surrounding stars seemed to be drawn towards this direction by some unknown force.

Jiang Liu immediately felt a powerful Star Power enveloping his entire body, and a pain more intense than ever before immediately spread from all parts of his body.

In just a moment, Jiang Liu's body was covered in bloodstains, and soon he was covered in blood.

However, this time Jiang Liu held back and did not cry out in pain.

Jiang Liu's miserable state was quickly noticed by the others present.

They never imagined that the strengthening of blood vessels would be so disastrous after the Bone Tempering was completed.

However, even in the face of this situation, Jiang Liu did not back down or scream.

This shows just how strong Jiang Liu's willpower is; no wonder he has already advanced to the Grandmaster level at such a young age.

However, Liu Xing, Tang Wanyu, and Chen Xiaoyun had already witnessed Jiang Liu's miserable state in Yunzhou, so they were not surprised.

However, this time the situation seems to be a little more serious than the last time, which is not surprising.

Seeing that Jiang Liu could endure such a terrible condition, the other Grandmaster immediately calmed their minds and accepted the strengthening Bone Tempering by the Star Power.

However, while Jiang Liu seemed able to endure the pain, when he truly accepted the Star Power drawn in by others into his body...

Only then did they truly realize how much willpower it takes to endure such pain.

As these newly trained Grandmaster received the Star Power and began to strengthen their Bone Tempering, Flowing Cloud Matriarch and the others began to focus their attention on them.

If, when the Bone Tempering begins, the blood and qi emanating from someone's body are different, then it can be confirmed that she has definitely cultivated the Bloodfiend Art.

Because the blood of those who cultivate the Bloodfiend Art is different, and if it is forced out by the Star Power, it will also appear differently on the outside of the body.

It was immediately obvious that this person had betrayed the Flowing Cloud Sect and was undoubtedly a traitor.

When all the newly trained Grandmaster drew upon the Star Power and circulated it for a week, no one was found to have a different aura or blood.

This relieved Flowing Cloud Matriarch and the others. Fortunately, they could now confirm that there were no traitors from the Bloodfiend Sect among the Grandmaster Elders.

Next, we can begin an internal investigation within the Sects.

After the self-inspection is completed, it will be time for the three parties to hold a joint meeting.

Jiang Liu had no time to care about any of that; his current situation was extremely unfavorable.

Because he used too much Star Power to strengthen his blood vessels, the Star Power he had previously Preservation in his body to repair them seemed to be insufficient.

If his ruptured blood vessel is not repaired for too long, he will not only lose too much blood, but his life will also be in danger.

Jiang Liu is now in a dilemma.
