Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue sat on the lounge chairs on the back of the Sea Turtle, discussing the potential crisis that Medicine King Valley might encounter this time.
Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, the two still couldn't figure out what kind of force Medicine King Valley had encountered this time, or why they had been kidnapped and controlled.
Because there are only three Chinese characters in the letter that came from it: sea, danger, and control.
Jiang Liu had only told Uncle Hai that if he needed help or was in danger, he should communicate in Chinese.
Uncle Hai probably didn't dare to write the situation too clearly, or he was afraid it would be intercepted and deciphered, which would cause an even greater crisis.
So he only entrusted the message to the messenger, and asked him to deliver those three words.
It seems that only by rushing to Li Province and finding the messenger can we learn the details.
"Husband, don't worry! Since you can still send messages, I believe the situation hasn't reached its worst yet." Gongsun Haoyue looked at Jiang Liu, whose brows were furrowed, reached out and patted him, comforting him.
Jiang Liu reached out and took Gongsun Haoyue's small hand, nodded, and said, "It's okay, I understand."
Afterwards, the two snuggled together and watched the sunset. Watching the sunset from the back of a moving Sea Turtle was quite a unique experience.
Since they got married, the two of them haven't had many opportunities to be alone together like this.
Therefore, no matter how anxious Jiang Liu was, he didn't want to spoil Gongsun Haoyue's fun.
After the sun had completely set, Jiang Liu started preparing the barbecue.
Gongsun Haoyue watched Jiang Liu cook quietly from the side; this was the first time Jiang Liu had ever cooked for her.
She didn't want to miss out, so she only occasionally helped Jiang Liu by handing him things.
Jiang Liu had already prepared to go to sea and had made all the necessary preparations.
Therefore, even though the trip was rushed, the Sea Turtle still had all the daily necessities and food on its back.
After Jiang Liu's skillful handling, he marinated several large pieces of the Exotic Beast Meat.
These things weren't just for Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue to eat; the two Beast Emperor ate even more.
After waiting for half an hour, Jiang Liu started a fire on the installed grill.
Before long, a rich aroma wafted from the grill, making one's mouth water.
Gongsun Haoyue took a sniff and it did smell really good. It seemed that Jiang Liu was quite skilled at grilling meat. No wonder even the Beast Emperor Sea Turtle was tempted by it.
The flying Sea Turtle seemed to tremble slightly, as if attracted by the aroma.
The Fire-Winged Monkey stopped mid-air and landed on the Sea Turtle's back, then unceremoniously picked up the roasted Exotic Beast Meat and ate it.
Jiang Liu had no choice but to throw several large pieces to the Sea Turtle to satisfy its craving.
Otherwise, it might actually go on strike and stop flying.
Gongsun Haoyue watched with amusement, finding the two Beast Emperor quite amusing; she hadn't expected them to fight over food.
After calming the Sea Turtle down, Jiang Liu sat down with Gongsun Haoyue and slowly began to enjoy their meal.
Three days later, Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue entered the territory of Li Province Fang Prefecture in Sea Turtle, carried by the sea turtle.
After entering Fang Prefecture territory, Jiang Liu ordered the Fire-Winged Monkey to bypass Fang Prefecture city and fly directly towards Lijun.
On the evening of June 23rd of the Initial Era Year 1, Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue arrived at the territory of the Gu Prefecture town.
Before they even got close to the Gu Prefecture town, Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue flew down from the Sea Turtle's back.
Then he ordered the Fire-Winged Monkey and Sea Turtle to stay, rest, and forage in the mountains in front of the county town.
Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue flew directly towards the Gu Prefecture town.
The presence of the Fire-Winged Monkey and the Sea Turtle could not be concealed, and Jiang Liu was afraid of alerting them and causing even greater harm to Medicine King Valley.
Although Jiang Liu didn't know whether the people who controlled Medicine King Valley knew about his relationship with Uncle Hai.
However, just in case, Jiang Liu felt it was best to be cautious.
Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue appeared together in the sky above the City Lord's Mansion of the Gu City.
Jiang Liu investigated and found that the city lord stationed in the Gu City was cultivating.
The Gu City lord stationed here is Cheng Qianyue, a Minor Grandmaster disciple of the Star Cloud Saint Sect.
She has been stationed here for several years and should be quite familiar with the situation here.
Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue went directly to the entrance of the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
The disciples on duty at the entrance of the council hall were startled when they saw two figures suddenly appear.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was actually Sect Leader Gongsun and their Holy Lord. He immediately clasped his hands in a fist and knelt down, bowing to Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue.
Jiang Liu waved his hand and helped him up, saying, "Go and summon your city lord."
"Yes, Holy Lord." The disciple on duty quickly got up and ran towards the cultivation square.
Not long after, the city lord, Cheng Qianyue, flew over in a hurry and entered the hall, where she saw Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue sitting there.
He quickly bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Holy Lord, Sect Leader Gongsun."
"No need for formalities, sit down and let's talk!" Jiang Liu said.
Cheng Qianyue nodded, agreed, and sat down on a chair nearby.
"Have any unfamiliar martial artists appeared in Gu Prefecture during this period?" Jiang Liu asked.
Cheng Qianyue thought for a moment and replied, "Unfamiliar martial artists? There haven't been any unfamiliar martial artists appearing recently."
"About two years ago, a large group of martial artists appeared in the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range to the north, and no one knew where they came from."
"But after they arrived, they always seemed to behave themselves and didn't do anything unusual, so we didn't pay much attention to them."
"Holy Lord, is there something wrong with them?"
Jiang Liu nodded, but did not answer Cheng Qianyue's question. Instead, he ordered, "Summon the people from the Surveillance Division."
Cheng Qianyue quickly got up and walked towards the disciples stationed outside, then instructed them to quickly call over the people from the Surveillance Division.
Seeing that the Holy Lord and Sect Leader Gongsun had come together, she guessed that these unfamiliar martial artists must be quite powerful, and she was just as afraid that something might happen.
Therefore, she dared not be negligent at all, since if those martial artists caused trouble here, the first person they would deal with would be her.
Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue waited for a while before Hao Zhuang, the person in charge of the Surveillance Division here, flew in.
When Hao Zhuang saw that Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue were really there, he was startled and quickly bowed, saying, "Holy Lord, Sect Leader Gongsun."
He was just organizing the information because he discovered that Medicine King Valley seemed to be acting strangely in recent years.
In the past year or two, the entire staff of the pharmacy in Medicine King Valley has been replaced.
The Surveillance Division was only established here two or three months ago, and he was able to learn about these things only because of the clues provided to him by members recruited here.
"No need for formalities, please stand up and speak!" Jiang Liu said, while Gongsun Haoyue nodded without saying a word.
Hao Zhuang stood up and sat down beside him, asking, "What has happened to bring the Holy Lord here?"
Jiang Liu nodded and said, "Since you came here, have you noticed anything unusual?"
