"Do you have any personnel remaining in Tianyun City?" Chen Bo continued to ask.
"Yes, there are still more than a dozen people left at our secret base to guard the captured martial artists and the supplies we're preparing to take back," Piao Han said hurriedly.
Piao Han then went so far as to draw the location of their base directly on the ground.
After making a note of it, Chen Bo left in a hurry, as he was going to capture all the remaining Blood Demon Island personnel.
Moreover, as Piao Han just revealed, the most powerful people among them this time are their two leaders.
Currently, the two strongest individuals in the base are only two Minor Grandmaster.
So he can go by himself.
Jiang Liu stayed behind to continue questioning Piao Han, asking Jiang Liu a series of questions he wanted to know.
Piao Han also told him everything he knew. Judging from his appearance, he was more afraid of death than of the tortures on Blood Demon Island.
Jiang Liu kept asking until the people Listening Wind Pavilion arrived before handing Piao Han over to them.
Let them continue questioning Piao Han, and make him explain everything clearly, including the sea chart leading to Blood Demon Island.
Of course, Piao Han also had to teach them the language of Blood Demon Island.
Jiang Liu estimated that Piao Han would be more than willing, since that would make him seem useful and save him from dying.
After the people from the Listening Wind Pavilion took Piao Han away, Jiang Liu also left the central courtyard.
After all, this place is filled with the smell of blood, and it can only be used again after it has been thoroughly cleaned. Jiang Liu doesn't like to stay here all the time.
Jiang Liu leaped up and flashed several times, directly reaching the Denggao Pavilion of the City Lord's Mansion.
Denggao Pavilion is the tallest building in the City Lord's Mansion of Tianyun City, with five floors.
After Jiang Liu climbed up to the Denggao Pavilion, he casually found a chair to sit down and picked up the statue of the King Wuguan in his hand to examine it closely again.
He hasn't given the statue back to Piao Han since he got it.
He sensed a faint, peculiar energy emanating from the statue.
Moreover, this vital energy strongly repels the special vital energy within his body.
Just like the statue found in the burial site, the primordial energy it generated strongly repelled the primordial energy within him.
However, the aura emanating from the King Wuguan statue seems to have a stronger bloody smell, unlike the aura emanating from the King Chujiang statue, which is filled with resentment.
However, regardless of the differences between these two types of energies, both are filled with a sense of rejection towards the special energies within their own bodies.
Does this prove that the cultivation method I practice is opposed to the cultivation method of the Halls of Yama?
If I were to encounter a real person from the Halls of Yama in the future, wouldn't we be natural enemies? Because as soon as the two of us meet, we will definitely be able to sense the mutual repulsion between each other's vital energy.
It seems I need to put in a lot of effort to find these people from the Halls of Yama and eliminate them one by one.
Judging from the strength of the Halls of Yama, it shouldn't be too weak. If I'm targeted, I'll definitely die.
And the people in the Halls of Yama have been using statues to collect the vital energy they need for cultivation.
Could it be that these statues can be used to collect more of those Special Essence Particles for them?
Then, through special techniques, the vital energy on these statues is absorbed.
If that's the case, then the statues in the burial site must have been buried there by someone.
If I destroy it, will the person who buried it in the first place be able to sense it?
Or, would those who absorb special spiritual energy for cultivation be able to sense it?
Jiang Liu immediately felt that he should go back to the place where the body was hidden and take another look, perhaps he could find some answers there.
If the vital energy emanating from the statues at the burial site was absorbed from the environment there.
So where does the energy within this statue, which Piao Han uses as a talisman, come from? Because he always carries it with him, he doesn't have such an environment.
A statue? Carried on one's person? Generates special spiritual energy?
Suddenly, Jiang Liu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, because he had figured out the truth through these things.
Jiang Liu has finally figured it out; this must be the Faith Power that he had been ignoring before.
The reason why the statue of the King Wuguan has this faint vital energy is because Piao Han carried it with him day and night and always regarded it as his guardian deity.
Judging from Piao Han's fear of death, he probably wasn't very devout, but after carrying this statue for a long time, he still developed some special spiritual energy.
This demonstrates the domineering nature of the Faith Power.
As more people develop this belief, the amount of special vital energy that naturally gathers will also increase.
Jiang Liu didn't know what the Halls of Yama used this special spiritual energy for, but it was probably for cultivation or advancement.
Just like his own Saintly Sky Art, it was also cultivated by absorbing those special Essence Particles.
The Saintly Sky Art? Could I, like this Halls of Yama, hang statues throughout Yunzhou and Xun Province and absorb those Special Essence Particles?
He could then use these statues to more easily absorb those Special Essence Particles.
Then, Jiang Liu realized that it seemed unlikely that he could do it now.
The first question is, what kind of statue should be sculpted? Should it be of oneself?
However, the Saintly Sky Art that he obtained did not provide any portrait; it only contained cultivation methods.
Secondly, if I do this, it will expose the cultivation method I practice, which requires the Faith Power to propel it.
How do you explain this? You have to understand, the Saintly Sky Art that I cultivate is my trump card.
The third and most important point is that, up until now, he has not yet come forward to build up his own power base and announce the takeover of Yunzhou and Xun Province.
Because they were afraid of provoking the Haotian Sect, they could only consider doing these things after they had dealt with the Haotian Sect.
However, even without absorbing these Special Essence Particles through the statue, he could still cultivate the Saintly Sky Art, and his progress was not slow.
Perhaps we can consider other options when the demand increases in the future. For now Special Essence Particles provided by Yunzhou and Xun Province are sufficient for my cultivation needs.
There is also a very serious problem: Jiang Liu always had a feeling that if he collected the Special Essence Particles through the Faith Power, there would definitely be some troubles.
Otherwise, the people of Blood Demon Island wouldn't have been driven out of Daqian.
Moreover, judging from the fact that the people of Blood Demon Island were driven out of the Great Qian Dynasty, it must have happened a long time ago, and it is unknown which dynasty it occurred in.
But even now, they have no intention of returning to the Great Qian Continent.
That must mean there is something else on this continent that they fear.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Jiang Liu decided to refrain from provoking them for the time being.
