That night, Lin Chi, Li Xuewu, and Chen Qiansong went to find Jiang Liu together.
Jiang Liu also assigned tasks to the three of them. Lin Chi was to build a nationwide intelligence network based on the Dark Star Hall, and then operate in the shadows, still using the name Dark Star Hall.
Chen Qiansong took over the Assassination List and would eliminate those who were detrimental to their power. The list would still be called the Assassination List.
As for Li Xuewu, he stayed in Xun City to manage Xun Province in conjunction with Chen Bo.
The original members of the Listening Wind and Gentle Rain Pavilion will now operate independently, no longer contacting Dark Star Hall or the Assassination List. They will be reorganized into an internal intelligence organization specifically for monitoring the internal situation of their own faction.
Jiang Liu will explain this to Murong Yin and Feng Yue, which will also make their daily work a little easier.
The primary objective in Xun Province now is the Hundred Craft Hall. Only by subjugating them can Xun Province be considered completely pacified, and Jiang Liu's plan can then be implemented.
However, the Hundred Craft Hall only has one Grandmaster, so it would be easy to force them to submit.
However, the reputation of the Hundred Craft Hall in the Jianghu has always been good, after all, they are just a group of blacksmiths and rarely cause trouble.
It would be difficult to explain if we wiped them out for no reason.
Even the notoriously vicious Ghost School couldn't wipe them out. How could the prestigious and righteous Heaven One Sect possibly manage to destroy them?
The current Xun Province is occupied by the Heaven One Sect, not the Five Poisons Sect.
After withdrawing from Xun Province from the Daoist sect, Chen Bo took the initiative to go there and reported to the elders of the three sects stationed in Xun Province.
However, to Jiang Liu's surprise, a few days later, the Crafting Saint of the Hundred Craft Hall took the initiative to come to him, asking to submit to him like the Exotic Weapon Valley.
Jiang Liu readily agreed, since it was a good thing to be able to make others submit without resorting to coercion.
Jiang Liu still had the Hundred Craft Hall stationed in Yun County, but the City Lord's Mansion was occupied by people sent by Li Xuewu.
After Qin Bailian explained it to him, Jiang Liu finally understood.
It turns out that the Exotic Weapon Valley and the Hundred Craft Hall are both disciples of the Weapon Forging Sect.
However, they later developed their own power bases and began to build their own forces.
Exotic Weapon Valley was established a little earlier than Hundred Craft Hall, and as for the current Weapon Forging Sect, it has no reputation in the martial arts Jianghu anymore.
It's because Exotic Weapon Valley and Hundred Craft Hall are quite famous.
The Hundred Craft Hall saw that the Exotic Weapon Valley was developing very well in Yunzhou, which is why it took the initiative to propose joining Jiang Liu's forces.
Moreover, they had no intention of competing for supremacy in the Jianghu; they only wanted to hone their skills in forging weapons.
Now that they have this emerging force in the Jianghu as their backer, they can focus on their blacksmithing work with peace of mind, which suits their needs perfectly.
After all, they were familiar with Jiang Liu and his group's style of doing things, which met their expectations.
After the surrender of the Hundred Craft Hall, the entire Xun Province can be said to have been completely pacified. The next step is to implement the same plan as Yunzhou and then carry out reorganization.
As for the local forces in Xun Province, Jiang Liu decided to give them a chance.
If they can cooperate with our restructuring plan, then they can remain in Preservation.
However, if they refuse to accept, Jiang Liu can only ask them to leave or reason with the King of Hell.
Fortunately, when Yi Yue and Qin Bailian led their men to the homes of these local powers, everyone cooperated very well.
In fact, Jiang Liu only wanted their superficial cooperation. If they later showed any disobedience, Listening Wind Pavilion would not be so easily defeated.
After all, when they were in Yunzhou, Listening Wind and Gentle Rain Pavilion was already very familiar with doing these things.
Jiang Liu left behind Li Xuewu, Chen Qiansong, Lin Chi, Gong Heqian, along with all the people who had come with them.
Gong Heqian was assigned by Jiang Liu to search for the remnants of Corpse Valley in Xun Province.
Based on the intelligence gathered previously, Corpse Valley still has some remnants remaining in its old stronghold in Xun Province that have not been completely eliminated.
Furthermore, the Lotus Sect has always had transactions with Corpse Valley, a fact that is probably known throughout the entire Lotus Sect. I believe Gong Heqian can find out the truth through investigation.
Qin Bailian and Yi Yue, along with the people from the Five Poisons Sect and the Exotic Weapon Valley, returned to Yunzhou.
After making complete arrangements in Xun Province, Jiang Liu prepared to return to Yunzhou.
On this day, Jiang Liu walked out of the City Lord's Mansion of Xun City alone. The Fire-Winged Monkey's tall body was already standing in mid-air.
Jiang Liu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Bo, Li Xuewu Chen Qiansong Lin Chi, Gong Heqian, Qin Bailian, Yi Yue and the others, and then flew onto the energy- Illusory Transformation chair on the back of the Fire-Winged Monkey.
With a flap of its wings, the Fire-Winged Monkey flew towards Yunzhou.
Two days later, Jiang Liu returned to Yuncheng.
Murong Yin and Feng Yue were at a mansion by the mountain, discussing where they planned to go for fun that day.
Because they haven't had a proper chance to relax in a while.
Suddenly, Murong Yin sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching the mansion on the mountainside.
Then, she sensed a familiar aura—the aura of the Fire-Winged Monkey.
Immediately, a happy smile appeared on Murong Yin's face, and she said to Feng Yue, "My Husband is back, let's go out together!"
Upon hearing Murong Yin's words, Feng Yue jumped up happily and ran outside.
Murong Yin shook his head helplessly and followed him out.
Seeing Murong Yin and Feng Yue approaching, Jiang Liu smiled happily.
Every time Jiang Liu went out, he knew in his heart that only this place was his spiritual home.
Jiang Liu leaped off the Fire-Winged Monkey's back and headed towards Murong Yin and Feng Yue.
The Fire-Winged Monkey looked at the three people huddled together, scratched its head, and, unable to understand, stopped thinking about it and let out a strange cry.
Before long, the bodies of the Frostwing Dragon and the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger appeared in the sky above the mansion.
Then, the Fire-Winged Monkey took the lead and flew deep into the mountains, with the Frostwing Dragon and the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger quickly following behind.
Jiang Liu and his two companions ignored the whereabouts of the Fire-Winged Monkey, because every time they returned, the Fire-Winged Monkey would take the Frostwing Dragon and the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger to train.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they entered the mansion. Cuier and Xiao He came out to greet them. When Cuier saw Jiang Liu, she said happily, "Young Master is back! The young ladies were just thinking of going out to play."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu turned to Murong Yin and asked, "Are you planning to go out and have some fun?"
Murong Yin nodded and said, "Yes! It's been a while since we went out together, but since my Husband just got back today, let's go tomorrow!"
Jiang Liu nodded and agreed.
Afterwards Feng Yue, everyone entered the council hall together, and Murong Yin Jiang Liu brought up the matter of assigning the Dark Star Hall and the Assassination List to Lin Chi and Chen Qiansong.
After hearing Jiang Liu's arrangements, Murong Yin and Feng Yue didn't say anything, but simply nodded.
After a year or two of contact, they have completely figured out how Dark Star Hall and the Assassination List operate.
However, they have always entrusted the people of these two forces to Cong Buqi and Ning Zhongze, and it is perfectly fine to hand them over to Lin Chi and Chen Qiansong now.
Moreover, it can maintain the purity of the Listening Wind Pavilion and Gentle Rain Pavilion, and they will only be responsible for internal affairs, which will greatly reduce their workload and give them more time to cultivate.
Jiang Liu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Murong Yin and Feng Yue had no objections.
