The Grandmaster and elders of the Flowing Cloud Sect and Star Moon Sect who came to the Imperial City of Tian Province all gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony of the Imperial Palace.
The True Inheritor Disciple of both sects also arrived together.
After several days of rest, Jiang Liu's injuries have mostly healed.
However, some meridians require longer care before they can be completely repaired.
However, this no longer affects his cultivation and daily activities at all.
When Tang Wanyu saw Jiang Liu appear in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a worried expression appeared on her face. She asked, "Junior Brother, I heard you were injured. Are you alright now?"
The other senior female students standing nearby also looked at Jiang Liu with concern.
Jiang Liu smiled at the senior sisters and said, "Thank you for your concern, senior sisters. I'm all better now."
Many of the Grandmaster and elders from both sects greeted Jiang Liu with smiles.
Jiang Liu maintained a smile and nodded to the Grandmaster from both sects present.
When Chu Heyu of the Star Moon Sect saw Jiang Liu, his face turned red, and he didn't know what to say.
She probably felt a little shy thinking about the previous marriage plan between the two families.
After exchanging greetings, all the elders and True Inheritor Disciple present found seats and waited for the arrival of the two sect leaders.
After a while, Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue appeared together at the entrance of the Hall of Hall of Supreme Harmony.
When the two sect leaders appeared at the entrance of the main hall, the hall, which had been buzzing a moment ago, immediately fell silent.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue walked slowly into the Hall of Supreme Harmony together.
The door behind them slowly closed, and a meeting that would determine the future of the entire world officially began.
Gongsun Haoyue and Flowing Cloud Matriarch sat together on the left and right sides of the main hall.
The elders and True Inheritor Disciple of the two sects below were also seated on both sides.
"Alright, let's start by reporting on the current situation in Sky City, and then we can discuss it," Flowing Cloud Matriarch said first.
Nangong Yun stood up, cupped his hands towards Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue, and said, "Sect Master, Sect Leader Gongsun, let me give a brief report on the situation of our sect."
Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue both nodded in agreement, indicating that they agreed to let Nangong Yun continue.
Since Nangong Yun arrived in Sky City, he has taken over all the affairs, big and small, of the Flowing Cloud Sect in Sky City.
After all, Nangong Yun is the elder in charge of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall the Flowing Cloud Sect, so it is perfectly legitimate for her to take charge and report.
Then Nangong Yun began to explain the Flowing Cloud Sect's suppression of other rebellious forces in Sky City, as well as the resettlement of members of the Great Qian Imperial Family.
After Nangong Yun finished speaking, Yuchi Yue from the Star Moon Sect stood up and reported to the two sect leaders about the situation of the Haotian Sect and various state forces in Sky City.
After the two finished explaining the details, the elders and True Inheritor Disciple...
This allowed them to understand the current situation of the entire Sky City.
Now, there are very few local small gangs and Lineage left in the entire Sky City.
The Confucian school and the National Preceptor's Mansion had already conducted a cleanup, and it is estimated that what remains are forces that have already sided with the royal family.
Now, due to the unrest, the Flowing Cloud Sect and Star Moon Sect have been cleaned up again, leaving very few ordinary martial artists left in the vast Sky City.
Currently, the reason why there are more and more ordinary martial artists is that many of them are independent martial artists who have come to Tian Province from other states to participate in the war.
Of course, the number of warriors sent into Tian Province by forces from other states is also gradually increasing.
As a result, chaotic battles between ordinary martial artists frequently occur in the cities near Sky City.
However, whenever a battle broke out, it was almost always the rogue cultivators who were in the retreat.
However, the most intense competition was actually among the martial artists from the five great families.
Because in their minds, if they wanted to achieve their goals, the other powerful families were their biggest competitors.
As for the White Saint Society and the Lotus Sect, if it weren't for the support of the Buddhist and Daoist sects, they wouldn't have taken those powerful families seriously at all.
Now both sects have been crippled, with only a few remnants left, and they want to come out and seize the position of agent?
That's completely overestimating oneself; it's like a toad trying to climb onto a scale, not knowing its own weight or capacity.
So now the five great families are fighting fiercely, with one attacking the other today and the other attacking the other tomorrow.
In their minds, it was perfectly reasonable for them to step forward and represent the Great Qian Imperial Family.
However, the people from the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect had no intention of paying attention to them; they would let them fight to the death first.
"Sect Master, Flowing Cloud Sect Master, three Grandmaster of Haotian Sect have escaped. Apart from the two who died, there are still thirty-seven remaining. They have all surrendered. What should we do with them?"
"There are still five Grandmaster in the Haotian Sect who are nearing the end of their lives. However, we will not disturb them," Yuchi Yue continued.
The Haotian Sect has a considerable number of Grandmaster, with forty-two of them not yet reaching the age limit, more than either the Flowing Cloud Sect or the Star Moon Sect alone.
Although they have now surrendered due to the combined efforts of the two factions.
But we can't just kill them all! Doing so would definitely cause an uproar throughout the world.
It doesn't seem quite right to just let it go like this.
Upon hearing this, Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue exchanged a glance, Flowing Cloud Matriarch asked, "So what do you think?"
Gongsun Haoyue pondered for a moment and said, "Let's put them under house arrest for now! As for what happens next, we'll see how they behave."
"If they are willing to switch sides and return to us, it's not impossible. However, the Haotian Sect's cultivation techniques, the Haotian Art, must be kept safe by the two of us."
Upon hearing this, Flowing Cloud Matriarch immediately understood Gongsun Haoyue's underlying meaning: to temporarily place all the Grandmaster of Haotian Sect under house arrest.
Then see how many of them actually surrender. As for the rest, just let them slowly die, or let them meet with some kind of accident.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch nodded, indicating his agreement with the method.
"Sect Master, Sect Leader Gongsun, what should be done with the True Inheritor Disciple and ordinary disciples of the Haotian Sect? Six Grandmaster and two Minor Grandmaster's True Inheritor Disciple have already surrendered."
Nangong Yun, who was sitting below the hall, stood up and continued speaking.
There are fifteen True Inheritor Disciple of the Haotian Sect, twelve of whom are Grandmaster.
After listening to Nangong Yun's report, Flowing Cloud Matriarch asked Gongsun Haoyue, "Then should the disciples of Haotian Sect also be handled in this way?"
"As for the disciples, I suggest that all ordinary disciples be demoted. As for the True Inheritor Disciple of the Haotian Sect, they should also be temporarily demoted to the treatment of Core Disciple."
"Only after passing the Sects's renewed test can one be accepted as True Inheritor Disciple again. Even after being accepted as True Inheritor Disciple, one is not allowed to cultivate the Star Cloud Saint Art."
On the other side, Gongsun Haoyue pondered for a moment before offering her suggestion.
