Jiang Liu, along with the men he had arranged beforehand and skilled boatmen selected from the four seaport cities, set off for Sea Gazing City.
Jiang Liu planned to depart from Sea Gazing City to Blood Demon Island. According to the sea chart drawn by Piao Han, departing from Sea Gazing City was the shortest route to Blood Demon Island.
Moreover, not far from Sea Gazing City, there is a Blood Demon Island outpost, which can be taken down along the way.
Accompanying them were two Grandmaster, Ming Chengyun and Jiang Congyue, along with their entourage.
After all, if we're going to take action, it's better to assign people they're familiar with so that it's easier to command them.
Jiang Liu arranged for them to travel together for the safety of the people on board.
After He Chu's left arm was reattached, he stayed in Yuncheng to recuperate.
Jiang Liu has now dispatched him to Tian County to defend the area, replacing Ming Chengyun and Jiang Congyue.
Although no one in the world dares to mess with me now.
However, I'm not in Yunzhou right now, and I don't know if anyone might try to take advantage of the chaos and stir up trouble.
In particular, the remnants of the Haotian Sect and the Great Qian Imperial Family have not yet been captured.
Therefore, for safety reasons, Jiang Liu made such arrangements.
As for the safety of Yuncheng, with the five Grandmaster of Mystic Gate, as well as Old Master Feng, Murong Lie, Murong Aotian, and others, it can be considered safe and secure.
Watching Jiang Liu and the others slowly disappear from sight, Murong Yin and Feng Yue returned to the courtyard.
Although they were filled with worry about Jiang Liu's voyage.
However, they also understood that this was a necessary step to eliminate the crisis.
So they didn't say much, only reminding Jiang Liu to be careful in everything.
Jiang Liu promised them that he would definitely return safely before setting off for Sea Gazing City.
When Jiang Liu and his group arrived at Sea Gazing City, the experienced boatmen who had set off from the other three Sea Gazing City earlier had already arrived.
When Jiang Liu arrived at the seaside, he couldn't help but marvel at the enormous ships before him.
I never imagined that shipbuilding technology in this world was so advanced.
Looking at the ship in front of me, which is nearly 200 meters long and has a displacement of at least two tons, it looks almost like a small aircraft carrier.
And this spacious deck, although smaller than my usual training plaza, is still comparable in size to a football field.
To build this giant ship, Jiang Liu gave a strict order, bringing out all the accumulated resources of those maritime families over the years to create the behemoth before us.
The entire giant ship has three decks on top and two cabins below, which can easily accommodate several thousand people.
However, the total number of people on this voyage was not that many.
Furthermore, all the skilled shipwrights and sailors are Ranked Martial Practitioner, so there's absolutely no need to worry about the ship's power.
To prevent any accidents, Jiang Liu specially invited three experienced helmsmen to take the helm, all of whom had experience at sea.
Now we can say that once the ship has completed its trial run and there are no problems, it can officially set sail.
After a few days of trial and some adjustments, Jiang Liu decided to officially set sail.
In the third year of the co-governance, on the 30th of August, the weather was fine and sunny, with a clear sky and no clouds, and only a gentle breeze blowing, perfect for going out to sea.
Jiang Liu and the others boarded the ship with the Fire-Winged Monkey. All the items needed for the voyage had already been loaded onto the ship.
According to the time given by Piao Han, this voyage will take about a month and a half.
This was under the condition that everything was going smoothly. Now, because they are not familiar with the waterways here, the time cannot be guaranteed.
Of course, Piao Han was brought along by Jiang Liu as well. At least Piao Han was more familiar with this sea area than anyone else present.
Therefore, how could Jiang Liu not bring him along?
As for the fear that he might escape back to Blood Demon Island and then reveal his secret?
If he wants to die, Jiang Liu will let him do as he pleases.
After all, Piao Han had been in Daqian for so long, yet he couldn't learn anything useful because he had been under the surveillance of the Listening Wind Pavilion the whole time.
Moreover, if he were to suddenly appear before the people of Blood Demon Island now, he would definitely be suspected of being a spy.
He was lucky to escape being executed immediately.
Most importantly, he brought along those Grandmaster, and the Minor Grandmaster weren't just sitting idly by either.
"Let's go!" Jiang Liu commanded the helmsman.
Then, the huge ship slowly sailed away from the harbor.
Standing on the shore Gong Heqian and the others watched the ships sail away before they also withdrew from Sea Gazing City.
From today onwards, this Sea Gazing City will be temporarily abandoned.
The people of Yao Guang Island sailed at sea for more than a month before finally returning to Seven Stars Island.
The kidnapped martial artists on the ship all looked completely exhausted, their faces haggard, their martial spirit gone.
Some martial artists who couldn't withstand the pressure died, and some were even captured by the people of Blood Demon Island and used for training halfway through the journey.
This actually created more space in the cabin, making it less crowded than before.
However, after arriving at Seven Stars Island, these people realized that the days on the ship were actually the most comfortable days they had ever had.
Although they were constantly short of food and water while on the ship, at least the people on Blood Demon Island didn't mistreat them too much.
As a result, when they arrived at Yao Guang Island, that very night, all of them were forced to line up for bloodletting.
This scene nearly scared the heads of those Lineage who had always lived a life of luxury to death.
However, no matter how much they struggled, the outcome was the same for everyone.
They stopped the bleeding only after a certain amount was applied, and then they were given some food.
They just leave them aside, waiting for the next bloodletting, and then they don't care whether they live or die.
As for the fear that they might take the opportunity to escape?
Even if we let them escape now, they wouldn't know where to run to.
After all, this is not land; it is surrounded by islands inhabited by Exotic Beast.
Moreover, and more importantly, their powers have all been sealed; how far can they escape?
How can they survive alone here, where there is a shortage of food and water?
After returning to Yao Guang Island, Situ Guang immediately went into seclusion.
The prisoners we obtained from the Great Qian Dynasty are enough to sustain Yao Guang Island's cultivation for a long time.
He also learned from the prisoners that all of his men who had previously joined the Great Qian had died within its borders.
He slaughtered the entire Sea Gazing City, which could be considered revenge for his men.
He now wants to verify the transformation of the cultivation method he has researched over the years, and see if he can use it to advance to the Peak Grandmaster.
This time, he did it to test the practicality of the technique, which is why he directly used those corpses in Sea Gazing City to let his low-ranking subordinates practice it.
Unexpectedly, it was successful on the first try, and the effect was quite good. The strength of almost all of his subordinates improved by one or two levels.
This greatly increased his confidence that he could advance to the Peak Grandmaster with this technique.
The thought of advancing to the Peak Grandmaster level and no longer having to put up with Situ Guang Baili Hong's temper filled Situ Guang with excitement.
