Jiang Liu strode over Gongliang Yi, who was lying on his back, and looked down at him, whose body was covered in Gongliang Yi fire and corroded by Aqua Forte. He asked, "Now can you give a proper explanation?"
At this moment, Gongliang Yi, who was smoking all over, seemed not to have heard Jiang Liu's question at all, staring blankly at the sky.
However, the aura emanating from him began to flicker, appearing extremely unstable.
I imagine he suffered a series of blows tonight that he had never experienced before, so he couldn't accept such a huge shock.
He was already having trouble accepting it when the Soul-Calling Bell was destroyed.
Later, in order to save his life, he pretended to reveal the secret of the King Chujiang Hall, hoping to find an opportunity to escape.
Just as they were about to escape, Jiang Liu saw through their plan.
Moreover, his Divine Sense suffered another heavy blow. It was under these repeated attacks that he ended up in this state.
Looking at Gongliang Yi like this, Jiang Liu guessed that his mental state was about to be broken, and he was afraid that he would self-destruct.
Jiang Liu hurriedly activated the Yin-Yang Five Elements Steps, and a powerful aura enveloped Gongliang Yi.
Then, he stretched out his large hand and tapped in the air, controlling Gongliang Yi's dantian and completely severing his meridians.
After doing all this, Jiang Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was indeed afraid that Gongliang Yi might suddenly self-destruct, and that the resulting explosion would kill everyone present, both human and animal.
When Grandmaster self-destructs, the resulting turbulent flow of energy is already quite powerful. How much more so when Peak Grandmaster self-destructs?
Fortunately, Gongliang Yi was already completely caught up in self-doubt, and before he could react, Jiang Liu had him under control.
Then, Jiang Liu invaded Gongliang Yi's Divine Sense sea with his divine Divine Sense and began to interrogate him.
This time, Gongliang Yi honestly confessed and didn't try to play any tricks.
After a thorough interrogation, Jiang Liu finally learned the details of the King Chujiang Hall.
It turns out that after the internal strife within the Halls of Yama Palace, the remaining forces of the King Chujiang Hall withdrew directly from the Qin Continent.
Before they withdrew from the Qin continent, their King Yama, King Chujiang, had already disappeared without a trace.
Their remaining members were also completely unaware of the whereabouts of their King Yama.
Even their descendants could not find a single word about this matter in their sect's records.
It was as if their Yama, the King of Hell, had vanished into thin air, and that such a person no longer existed in the world.
Therefore, their ancestors feared that when the King Chujiang Hall was weak, it would be targeted by other forces and eventually be completely destroyed.
Therefore, they decided to withdraw directly from the Qin continent and go into seclusion in the desert.
As time went by, all the older generation who had advocated withdrawing from the Qin continent had died, and gradually some people began to feel dissatisfied.
Especially now that they are in a desert area, in such a resource-poor place, life is even more difficult, and their cultivation progress is much slower.
Therefore, if they want to re-enter the mainland, they must at least establish a base there so that they can obtain more cultivation resources.
However, while some are dissatisfied, others are content with the status quo.
Those who are content with the status quo fear that if the King Chujiang Hall were to enter the mainland at will and be exposed to the public, it would bring about their own demise and annihilation.
Therefore, the two sides could not reach an agreement, which is why the matter was delayed.
As time went on, those who wanted to enter the mainland began to secretly send people into the Qin Dynasty.
When they first sent people in, they discovered that the Great Qin Empire had already collapsed and the Zhou Empire was in power.
For some unknown reason, the Great Zhou Dynasty launched a frenzied manhunt for members of the Halls of Yama throughout the entire continent. Once discovered, they were all executed immediately without any explanation.
At that time, Martial Emperor of Zhou was extremely domineering, and no one could control him.
The Jianghu was in a state of panic. At a single command, all the Jianghu forces obeyed without question and dared not disobey in the slightest.
Jiang Liu estimated that Martial Emperor of Zhou at that time must have been at least Saint Realm.
Perhaps this Martial Emperor of Zhou is the last Saint Realm on the continent, who knows?
Otherwise, why would those Jianghu forces be so compliant?
After Martial Emperor of Zhou passed away, the Zhou Dynasty gradually began to decline.
Moreover, no one else has been able to advance to the Saint Realm and dominate the entire world since then.
Until the middle and late stages of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Haotian Sect, Star Moon Sect, and Flowing Cloud Sect began to rise to prominence.
Once the prestige and power of the three sects reached their peak, they entered a period of joint rule by the three sects.
Then, the next few hundred years of history entered the Daqian period.
It was only at the end of the Great Zhou Dynasty that the King Chujiang Hall dared to continue sending people into the mainland.
Their original intention was to directly occupy a base on the mainland.
However, having learned from their previous mistakes, they still decided to secretly make arrangements on the mainland.
What they mainly did at that time was to bury statues on the mainland and secretly absorb the life force of martial artists.
This way, they can not only obtain cultivation resources on the mainland, but also avoid exposing themselves.
More importantly, they can continue to secretly stir up trouble from the shadows.
Then they plundered martial artists all over the country, and nobody knew about it.
Thus, the King Chujiang Hall waited for the opportunity to re-invade and dominate the continent.
As a result, when the strength of the entire continent had weakened to its extreme, internal strife broke out within the King Chujiang Hall.
This turmoil lasted for over a century.
By the time the internal strife was quelled, the best time to invade the mainland had been missed.
At that time, the continent had already produced a Great Qian Tianwu Emperor who was able to resist the suppression from the three sects.
Therefore, King Chujiang Hall abandoned his idea of invading the mainland.
Even the internal strife within the King Chujiang Hall has not yet been completely quelled; the current ceasefire is merely temporary.
Jiang Liu was secretly alarmed when he heard this.
He hadn't expected that the King Chujiang Hall was so deeply embedded on the mainland.
Moreover, they have been secretly developing their power by taking advantage of the conflicts within the mainland.
If it weren't for the internal strife, the current King Chujiang Hall would already be preparing to invade the mainland.
It should be noted that, excluding the Palace Master, the King Chujiang Hall actually has six other Peak Grandmaster.
Fortunately, these six Peak Grandmaster split into two factions.
In order to balance the power between the two sides, the temple master usually dared not show any bias in his dealings.
Otherwise, the current situation on the mainland is unimaginable.
Jiang Liu speculated that this might be related to the fact that when the King Chujiang Hall withdrew from the mainland, it received more inheritance and resources.
Therefore, the strength of this King Chujiang Hall is actually much greater than that of Blood Demon Island.
Although we now know that the King Chujiang Hall is a hidden stronghold in the desert.
However, this King Chujiang Hall is too difficult to deal with, even though the faction that took the initiative to attack the continent has already lost two Peak Grandmaster.
However, if you were to actively go into the desert to find them...
It is estimated that the remaining five Peak Grandmaster will join forces to deal with him.
In that case, you're very likely to be offering yourself up for abuse.
Therefore, Jiang Liu decided to devise a way to lure out the Peak Grandmaster who wanted to enter the mainland from the King Chujiang Hall.
This way, at least for the time being, the remaining Peak Grandmaster of the King Chujiang Hall should not have any intention of invading the continent.
Perhaps this can ensure the temporary safety of the mainland.
