Jiang Liu did not obtain any more useful information from the Ascension Tower, so he had no choice but to bid farewell to Murong Aotian and head home.
When he got home, Murong Yin and Feng Yue had already returned.
The two women then told Jiang Liu about the increased surveillance in Yuncheng.
Jiang Liu nodded after listening, indicating that there was no problem.
Afterwards, Jiang Liu also spoke to the two women, reminding them to be careful, since they had also cultivated soul techniques and could easily be targeted if they were not careful.
Moreover, it is still uncertain whether the force targeting Soul Valley has a grudge against Soul Valley or is trying to capture martial artists who specialize in mental cultivation techniques.
Therefore, it is still best to be cautious and instruct them to stay at the mansion during this period unless it is absolutely necessary to go out, and to go out as little as possible.
After listening to Jiang Liu's instructions, Murong Yin and Feng Yue nodded in agreement. Given the current unclear situation, it was best to avoid causing Jiang Liu any trouble.
Old Man Tianhun followed the people from the Listening Wind Pavilion to the courtyard where Jiang Liu had arranged for Soul Valley to stay temporarily.
After the people from the Listening Wind Pavilion took their leave, Old Man Tianhun stepped into the courtyard.
"Soul Old, how did your talk with Jiang Liu go?" At this moment, a white-haired man walked up and asked.
"I've explained the situation to him, and Jiang Liu doesn't have any clue either, but he's promised to keep a close eye on our safety here. So, you can tell everyone that you can rest assured while they're here."
However, for safety's sake, let's all try to stay home as much as possible during this time! I think this space should be enough for everyone to practice.
The white-haired man nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
The Old Man Tianhun entered the room that had been arranged for him, sat down, and began to ponder.
Because he always had a vague feeling that he had overlooked something.
During his Jianghu, he visited many states, including the colorful Li Province, the Zhen Province near the grasslands, the Kun Province where the two factions fought fiercely, and the peaceful Qian Province.
However, he spent the most time in Xun Province and Xun Province, where he witnessed the tremendous changes.
The sight of thousands of miles of red earth in Xun Province startled him. However, the thriving scene in Yunzhou gave him a pleasant surprise.
After returning to Soul Valley, he learned that something had happened Soul Valley. Feeling helpless, he thought of asking Jiang Liu for help.
Based on the changes in Yunzhou, he knew Jiang Liu to be a person with great love in his heart, and he should be able to help him with his request for assistance.
The result did not disappoint him, but it was only a temporary measure and the fundamental problem remained unsolved.
The only way to solve the problem was to find out the forces behind it, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't find anything.
Suddenly, he remembered some things he had heard about when he was in Xun Province.
Once, he passed through a small county town under Rong County in Xun Province and overheard the local people worshipping the gods, saying that they were thanking the gods for capturing those evil Ghost School disciples.
At first, he thought it was the Lotus Sect Alliance that did it, but after his investigation, he found that it was not the Lotus Sect Alliance at all.
Since the missing person was a disciple of the Ghost School, he didn't investigate further at the time.
Looking back now, the disappearance of the Soul Valley disciples seems to be similar to the disappearance of the Ghost School disciples.
Because the main cultivation method of the Ghost School is similar to that of the Soul Valley in some aspects, and it also prioritizes the cultivation of spiritual power.
So, could this be the same group of people who kidnapped the Soul Valley disciples?
The more the Old Man Tianhun thought about it, the more he felt that it must be the same group of people.
However, even with the same group of people, he had no clue about their whereabouts.
However, just because he couldn't do anything doesn't mean Jiang Liu couldn't. Judging from how well he governed Yunzhou, the power behind him must be considerable.
Thinking of this, the Old Man Tianhun felt he could no longer sit still. Ignoring the fact that it was already completely dark, he got up, left the courtyard, and flew towards the outside of Cloud City.
Before he even reached the sky above the Cloud City wall, a Grandmaster's aura suddenly began to rapidly approach him.
"Who are you, fellow traveler? Please wait here!" Qin Bailian called out loudly.
It turns out that Qin Bailian is on duty tonight. Ever since Jiang Liu instructed that the defense of Yuncheng be upgraded, Qin Bailian and Yi Yue decided to take turns on duty at night.
At the same time, it is also to prevent anything from happening suddenly.
As for capturing the people of Blood Demon Island, we will only begin our operation after we have obtained some clues.
The Old Man Tianhun never expected that Grandmaster would be on duty in Cloud City at this hour.
You should know that whenever he came to Yuncheng before, he could always come and go freely.
This shows that Jiang Liu is no ordinary person, after all, a Grandmaster is willing to risk his life for him.
You know, most Grandmaster are arrogant and unruly. After all, we're all at the same level, so why should I listen to you? And obediently defend the city for you? Dream on!
The Old Man Tianhun stopped, and Qin Bailian arrived shortly afterward.
Qin Bailian approached and saw that the man was the same as described in the intelligence report; he should be Old Man Tianhun. He then cupped his hands and said, "Soul Old Tianhun, it's getting late. Are you going out?"
The Old Man Tianhun nodded and said, "I've thought of some clues and want to go find Jiang Liu to inform him."
"I see! Then please wait a moment." After Qin Bailian finished speaking, he called over a disciple on duty on the city wall and asked him to go and find Yi Yue.
After a while, Yi Yue's figure also arrived on the city wall.
Then, Qin Bailian stretched out his hand to Old Man Tianhun and said, "Soul Old, let's go together! Please."
Without much thought, the Old Man Tianhun flew towards the Jiang Liu first, and Qin Bailian quickly followed. Yi Yue took over from Qin Bailian and stayed behind to guard the area.
Before long, the two arrived at Jiang Liu's residence.
Jiang Liu was cultivating the Saintly Sky Art in the cultivation plaza when he sensed the auras of Old Man Tianhun and Qin Bailian rapidly approaching. Thinking that something major had happened, he immediately stopped cultivating.
The guards at the gate of the mansion saw that it was Old Man Tianhun and Qin Bailian, but they did not stop them.
Jiang Liu had given instructions that if he was home, there was no need to stop them; they could just come in directly.
Old Man Tianhun and Qin Bailian entered the mansion and headed directly towards the cultivation plaza.
The guards at the gate have already told them where Jiang Liu is.
Jiang Liu was already sitting on a nearby rest chair, waiting for them.
Jiang Liu saw Old Man Tianhun and Qin Bailian walk in together, stood up, and greeted them, "It's so late, why did you come here together? Did something happen?"
Old Man Tianhun and Qin Bailian cupped their hands in greeting to Jiang Liu, and at Jiang Liu's invitation, they both sat down.
The Old Man Tianhun took the tea Jiang Liu handed him, but without taking a sip, he put it aside and said directly, "I forgot something before. The people who kidnapped our Soul Valley disciples this time did the same thing in Xun Province before."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu and Qin Bailian both looked at Old Man Tianhun.
