Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu immediately knew that the three sects were preparing to take action against the Great Qian Imperial Family, and it seemed that the time was ripe.
Jiang Liu didn't say much, then nodded and flew towards the Back Mountain.
Back in his courtyard, he first took his broadsword and three top-quality short swords, then slung his personal bag over his shoulder, and flew towards the place where the Exotic Beast were tamed.
Upon arriving at the place where the Exotic Beast beasts were tamed, Jiang Liu saw the Fire-Winged Monkey lying there contentedly, with Servant Disciple roasting meat for it nearby.
Jiang Liu was speechless at the sight. They were living the life of being waited on hand and foot!
Jiang Liu then communicated with the Fire-Winged Monkey through mental connection, and the Fire-Winged Monkey reluctantly got up and flew into the air.
Jiang Liu greeted the manager of the Exotic Beast Taming Center and then flew onto the seat on the back of the Fire-Winged Monkey.
When Fire-Winged Monkey brought Jiang Liu to the entrance of the council hall square, they found that Duanmu Haotian and Gongsun Haoyue had already arrived.
Jiang Liu immediately apologized to the three sect leaders, while Duanmu Haotian and Gongsun Haoyue nodded indifferently.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch rolled his eyes at Jiang Liu, but didn't say anything.
"Now that everyone is here, let's set off immediately!" Duanmu Haotian said.
After saying that, Duanmu Haotian took the lead and flew towards Tian Province.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch, Gongsun Haoyue, and Fire-Winged Monkey quickly followed.
Jiang Liu looked in the direction Duanmu Haotian flew off to; he figured Duanmu Haotian was planning to fly directly through the Abyssal Canyon.
However, judging from their group, the three-headed Beast Emperor probably wouldn't dare to act recklessly and come to stop them.
Two days later, the group of four people and one monkey flew over the Abyssal Canyon.
When the Fire-Winged Monkey flew over, its aura became noticeably more volatile.
It seems that the last battle here left a deep impression on it.
However, to Jiang Liu's disappointment, the three Beast Emperors did not even show their faces, yet they were able to fly directly across the Abyssal Canyon.
It seems these Beast Emperor also know how to bully the weak and fear the strong!
Two days later, they flew directly to the outskirts of Sky City in Tian County. However, instead of rushing into the imperial city, they split up and returned to their respective sects' residences.
When they entered Sky City, Dao Fan Shangren, who was cultivating in the National Preceptor's Mansion, had already sensed it.
After all, the aura emanating from these four people and one monkey was far too powerful; even some of the Grandmaster in the city could sense it.
Dao Fan Shangren immediately dared not delay and flew towards the imperial city.
The entire vast Sky City is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city is what ordinary people call the Imperial City, while the outer city is the Sky City of Tian Province.
The inner city is located to the north of the Sky City, while the imperial palace is located in the central area of the inner city.
After arriving at the gate of the imperial city, Dao Fan Shangren went directly into the imperial palace.
The Royal Guard along the way were all surprised to see Dao Fan Shangren arrive, and they all bowed to Dao Fan Shangren, but no one stopped him from entering the palace.
Because the late emperor had granted him this imperial decree, Dao Fan Shangren could directly enter the palace to meet the emperor without waiting for notification.
They were just wondering Dao Fan Shangren hadn't taken the initiative to visit the emperor in the palace for a long time. The last time he went to the palace was to go and kill Lu Tianheng.
Judging from his anxious appearance this time, I wonder what big thing has happened again. Could it be the Bloodfiend Sect incident?
A shadow fell over the hearts of all the guards, for this turmoil was even more intense than the previous one.
Dao Fan Shangren flew into the palace and went straight to the gate of the Qinzheng Hall.
Before Dao Fan Shangren could even enter the Qinzheng Hall, Wei Jin had already come out to greet him, "Dao Fan, is there something urgent?"
"Is His Majesty inside? I have urgent news to report," Dao Fan replied.
At this moment, Jiang Lan's voice came from inside the hall, "Lord Dao Fan, please come in and have a talk."
Dao Fan Shangren then strode into the main hall and bowed to Jiang Lan, who was sitting in the center of the hall, saying, "Your Majesty, the three sect leaders have just arrived in Sky City together."
Upon hearing Dao Fan Shangren's words, Jiang Lan's previously calm expression immediately became somewhat unnatural.
Wei Jin, standing to the side, also frowned deeply. The three sect leaders had come together; these people were certainly not friendly! Were they really preparing for war?
Jiang Lan was also considering this question. She barely suppressed her nervousness and asked Dao Fan Shangren, "Then, sir, what do you think is their purpose in coming here together?"
"They are very likely taking advantage of this turmoil to come and question the Emperor," Dao Fan Shangren said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan immediately stood up and paced around the main hall, considering the likelihood of the problem while constantly encouraging herself.
The three sects shouldn't dare to attack me, after all, they only have three Peak Grandmaster, while I have two on my side, so there's no way I could lose.
In other words, the game ended in a draw because everyone couldn't keep up.
At most, I will step in to mediate, and then the royal family will continue to rule the Great Qian.
Yes, that's it. Jiang Lan was no longer as afraid as before, and he was even thinking about what would happen if he could draw with the three sect leaders this time.
After that, the mountain that had been weighing on the Great Qian Imperial Family was finally removed.
From now on, I can do whatever I want without any restrictions.
"My lord, can you and your uncle withstand the three of them and remain undefeated?" Jiang Lan stopped and looked at Dao Fan Shangren with hope in her eyes.
Jiang Lan was only Rank 9 Martial Practitioner, and he didn't know much about the combat power of Peak Grandmaster, hence his question.
In his mind, wasn't it always said that to kill a Grandmaster, it would take three Grandmaster?
That's about Peak Grandmaster, isn't it? So, all he's asking now is for the two of them to hold off the other three. That shouldn't be too difficult, right?
Moreover, his imperial palace, the National Preceptor's Mansion, the Confucian school, and so many Grandmaster should be able to put them to good use.
Dao Fan Shangren looked at Jiang Lan, who was looking at him with hope, and didn't know how to answer.
Should we tell him that since the last time we attacked Lu Tianheng together, he realized the gap in strength between himself and the three sect leaders?
Moreover, his great-uncle's combat strength is even more worrying, because Jiang Zongquan was old when he advanced to the Peak Grandmaster.
Furthermore, they also have a Beast Emperor on their side, and that Beast Emperor's master, Jiang Liu, who is not comparable to an ordinary Grandmaster.
After all, Jiang Liu's achievements had already spread among the Grandmaster of the Great Qian Dynasty.
However, the final outcome will only be known after the battle.
He believes he can still achieve the goal of remaining undefeated.
After some consideration, Dao Fan Shangren finally nodded to Jiang Lan.
When Jiang Lan saw Dao Fan Shangren nod, he felt full of confidence. He thought to himself, "After the two sides are evenly matched, let's see what the three sect leaders will have to use to pressure him."
After returning to their respective residences, the three sect leaders urgently summoned the Grandmaster had been sent to Sky City earlier that day.
It turns out that since the three sect leaders began implementing the plan, they have been sending Grandmaster to Sky City one after another.
After all, when Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue entered the imperial city last time, they discovered that there were quite a few Grandmaster inside the palace.
To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, each of the three sects dispatched at least ten Grandmaster to Sky City to hide, awaiting their respective sect leaders' summons.
