Amidst the turmoil, time entered the Initial Era Year 1, early June.
After Jiang Liu finished arranging everything for the Star Cloud Holy Dynasty, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Because after so long, there has been absolutely no movement or news from Blood Demon Island.
This made Jiang Liu wonder to himself, could something really have happened on Blood Demon Island?
Or perhaps someone on Blood Demon Island has advanced to the Saint Realm? Is that why the invasion of the continent has been temporarily suspended?
However, Jiang Liu remembered Shentu Jue's previous instructions, and it was unlikely that anyone from Blood Demon Island would advance to the Saint Realm.
After all, Blood Demon Island has existed for so long, and when it was first established, it had no shortage of cultivation techniques and resources.
If someone were capable of advancing to the Saint Realm, they would have already succeeded.
It's simply impossible to advance to the Saint Realm at exactly this exact moment.
This made Jiang Liu wonder if something had happened on Blood Demon Island.
Could it be that other forces from the Halls of Yama have found Blood Demon Island?
If it's another faction from the Halls of Yama that finds Blood Demon Island, then there's nothing more to say.
It's definitely going to be a fight to the death between them.
After all, the fastest way for different factions to advance in rank is to devour each other.
Moreover, after the internal strife in the Halls of Yama, the various palace factions were now mortal enemies.
Once they encounter each other, they will definitely disregard everything else and take the other party down first.
Therefore, Jiang Liu hoped that other forces of the Halls of Yama would come to Blood Demon Island.
Then destroy Blood Demon Island, and you'll have one less enemy.
Then, Jiang Liu thought of the news that Ming Chengyun and Jiang Congyue brought back from their last voyage.
Could it be that Blood Demon Island hasn't invaded the mainland for so long because of the remnants of the Haotian Sect?
If that's the case, then things are really not going to be good.
Because the Haotian Sect likely knows more information than the Star Cloud Saint Sect.
If the remnants of the Haotian Sect really do join Blood Demon Island, then there is a real possibility that something bad could happen.
However, Jiang Liu thought about the resource shortage problem that Blood Demon Island was currently facing.
If those Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect really defected, it's uncertain whether they could save their lives.
It is also possible that after that battle, Blood Demon Island harbored doubts about the strength of the mainland and therefore dared not invade casually.
Should we wait for the right opportunity? Or should we wait until someone advances to the Peak Grandmaster before we invade the continent again?
Thinking about this, Jiang Liu felt that this was the most likely reason.
However, regardless of the truth about why Blood Demon Island wouldn't invade, Jiang Liu decided that he still had to personally go out to sea again.
After all, Jiang Liu would never feel at ease until he had eliminated the people of Blood Demon Island.
It's not for any other reason than that the Saintly Sky Art and the Blood Saint Art, which he cultivates, are inherently opposing techniques.
Therefore, they will always be mortal enemies.
Therefore, when Jiang Liu mentioned his decision to Gongsun Haoyue, Murong Yin, and Feng Yue that night, they were all visibly taken aback.
Upon hearing this, Murong Yin and Feng Yue immediately voiced their objections.
After all, the world has just stabilized, and Blood Demon Island shows no signs of wanting to invade, so why should Jiang Liu provoke it?
However, Gongsun Haoyue, who knew the inside story, did not immediately express his opinion.
Because she knew Jiang Liu's worries, and she also knew how terrifying Blood Demon Island was.
She knew even better about the various factions within the Halls of Yama and their distribution across the continent.
For these reasons, it's not that he truly doesn't exist just because he's not there. It's only when disaster strikes that we'll truly regret it.
Perhaps only by taking the initiative, as Jiang Liu suggested, and taking advantage of the fact that the various forces of the Halls of Yama have not yet grown strong, to defeat them one by one, can there be a possibility of victory.
Because no one knows whether the various forces in the Halls of Yama will also unite.
Although the various palaces of the Halls of Yama are locked in a bitter struggle, things can change, and no one can predict the future.
The Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect were once bitter enemies, but now they've merged.
Blood Demon Island alone is now strong enough to rival the entire Star Cloud Saint Sect.
Therefore, whether for the present or for the future, Jiang Liu's suggestion to set sail and destroy Blood Demon Island first is justified.
After thinking for a while, Gongsun Haoyue said to Jiang Liu, "I agree with your suggestion, Husband. Since we are going to go to sea, I will go with you this time."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yin and Feng Yue immediately knew that they could no longer stop Jiang Liu.
They had hoped that Gongsun Haoyue could help stop Jiang Liu, but she also offered to go with them.
But this is good too, at least there are two Peak Grandmaster, Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue, plus two Beast Emperors.
This is much safer than last time, when Jiang Liu only brought one Beast Emperor with him.
Now that the decision has been made, the next step is to make preparations for the voyage.
Jiang Liu decided that this time, he would not take a large ship out to sea, but would have the Sea Turtle carry him out to sea.
This is not only much faster, but also much safer.
Jiang Liu is still considering whether or not to bring some other people along.
However, those are matters for later. Right now, we need to discuss this matter with Flowing Cloud Matriarch and see what suggestions she has.
As for whether she would oppose this, Jiang Liu didn't think so.
Because Flowing Cloud Matriarch is well aware of the affairs of the Halls of Yama, she shouldn't object.
However, now that she is leaving the mainland with Gongsun Haoyue, the burden on her shoulders is not light.
After all, the exact situation of the other forces of the Halls of Yama that are currently hiding in the shadows is still unknown.
If they cause trouble while they're away, then Flowing Cloud Matriarch might not be able to handle it.
During this period, Flowing Cloud Matriarch stayed in the Flowing Cloud Sect mountain range to cultivate and did not go to the Haotian Sect mountain range before.
They probably plan to move there together after the Star Cloud Saint Sect Mountain Range is renovated.
However, the Star Cloud Saint Sect Mountain Range has now been almost completely transformed and is in its final stages of completion.
It is estimated that the opening ceremony should be held in another ten days to half a month.
In fact, according to Jiang Liu's idea, it should have been completed long ago.
However, some elders, in order to achieve perfection, kept delaying the construction, and it is still not finished now.
When Jiang Liu came to the Liuyun Sect Mountain Range, he felt a little emotional when he looked at the mountains that had completely quieted down.
The figure of Flowing Cloud Matriarch suddenly appeared beside Jiang Liu, glanced at Jiang Liu, and asked, "Why are you so free today? Don't you need to keep your three wives company?"
Jiang Liu looked at the Flowing Cloud Matriarch before him, and sensed a hint of jealousy in her words. Could it be that she was envious of Gongsun Haoyue?
Upon realizing this, Jiang Liu couldn't help but chuckle to himself. How could that be?
However, now is not the time to think about these things. Jiang Liu then said, "I plan to go out to sea again, and this time Gongsun will come with me."
Flowing Cloud Matriarch was taken aback for a moment, but then she realized what she meant, nodded, and said, "I understand. You are doing this for the safety of the mainland. However, you should also be careful."
"As for the safety here on the mainland, don't worry! As long as I have a breath left, I will be fine."
Jiang Liu looked at the solemn Flowing Cloud Matriarch Liu Yun Shangren's face and nodded.
Afterwards, the two strolled through the mountains, chatted for a while, and then Jiang Liu turned and left.
As for Flowing Cloud Matriarch, she watched Jiang Liu's departing figure, sighed, and then returned to the courtyard she had previously given to Jiang Liu to live in.
