Jiang Liu, Gongsun Haoyue, Cheng Qianyue, and Hao Zhuang took their seats one by one in the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Subsequently, Cheng Qianyue and Hao Zhuang took turns reporting to Jiang Liu on the handling of the Jiang Wang Palace's accomplices within the Gu Prefecture.
After listening, Jiang Liu nodded, thought for a moment, and said to Cheng Qianyue, "Okay! I understand. Qianyue, you can go now!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qianyue was slightly taken aback, but she quickly recovered, bowed to Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue, and then withdrew.
Jiang Liu looked at Hao Zhuang and said calmly, "Now that the King Chujiang Hall has a new leader, they are determined to send people to wipe out the remaining forces of the Halls of Yama. You are responsible for contacting the people of the King Chujiang Hall."
Hao Zhuang was startled and thought he had misheard. He secretly glanced at Jiang Liu's face and then realized with shock that it was actually true.
Then he was overjoyed. Their Holy Lord had actually subdued the King Chujiang Hall, which meant that the Star Cloud Holy Dynasty now had three more Peak Grandmaster.
This will give us a stronger fighting force when facing external enemies.
Although he didn't know why the Holy Lord said that they had sent people to fight willingly, rather than submitting.
However, he dared not make wild guesses and quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will send someone to make contact."
Jiang Liu shook his head and instructed, "Make contact with their people in person. Don't let anyone know. I don't want this to become a big deal and everyone to know."
Hao Zhuang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knelt on one knee, bowing respectfully and saying, "Yes!"
He knew this was an opportunity; if he handled it well, he would catch the eye of the Holy Lord and be given important responsibilities.
If it hadn't been handled properly, he probably wouldn't be alive today.
This is a matter of life and death for him, and he cannot be taken lightly.
Jiang Liu saw that Hao Zhuang understood his meaning, and then told him about the method and place to meet with Dongling Rui.
After completing these arrangements, Jiang Liu felt somewhat tired, so he and Gongsun Haoyue went to the courtyard where they had stayed last time to rest.
After Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue returned to the courtyard, Gongsun Haoyue glanced at Jiang Liu and asked, "Do you think that Hao Zhuang is reliable?"
Just now in the hall, Gongsun Haoyue didn't speak recklessly in order to maintain Jiang Liu's dignity and authority in front of his subordinates.
However, now that they are alone together, she is bound to ask the questions that are on her mind.
Jiang Liu shook his head and said, "Whether he is reliable or not doesn't matter, as long as he does his best. Besides, even if it is leaked and the King Chujiang Hall submits to me, it's not a big deal."
Gongsun Haoyue nodded and then said nothing more.
Since Jiang Liu has already considered this possibility, it means he no longer cares whether the news will be leaked.
If it hasn't leaked out, then it means that Hao Zhuang is a useful person.
If it leaks out, it will only expose a traitor within the Star Cloud Holy Dynasty, and there won't be any real loss.
Of course, Jiang Liu didn't just let Hao Zhuang do whatever he wanted. That night, Yun Hao appeared in the courtyard where Jiang Liu was staying.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Hao Zhuang hurriedly returned to the garrison of the Surveillance Division in the Gu City.
Only after returning to his private room did he manage to calm his excitement.
His agitation wasn't due to a desire to betray Jiang Liu.
Rather, it was because he had waited so long, and now he finally had the chance to take revenge.
Hao Zhuang's previous sect was a Sects that was destroyed by the Bloodfiend Sect.
Therefore, he had always harbored a deep resentment, wanting to find the Bloodfiend Sect and take revenge.
After such a long investigation, he finally obtained a clue: the so-called Bloodfiend Sect was actually a branch of the Halls of Yama.
However, he has always been powerless to take revenge.
Jiang Liu now instructed him to contact the people of the King Chujiang Hall and then launch a coordinated attack on the other forces of Halls of Yama.
Doesn't that mean he can use the power of the King Chujiang Hall to eliminate other forces in the Halls of Yama?
Therefore, we should now tell him that even if he doesn't want anything, he should still do his best to handle this matter well.
Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue stayed in the Gu City for three days.
During these three days, Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue did not stay in the courtyard to cultivate the whole time.
The two strolled around the Gu City together, enjoying the time spent together within its walls.
After all, the longer a martial artist cultivates, the less human they become, and the colder they become towards human emotions.
Especially for high-level martial artists, their hearts harden as their strength increases, and they gradually become indifferent to all life.
Only when you are occasionally immersed in the everyday life of ordinary people will you remember that you are still a living, breathing human being.
On the fourth day, Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue finally left the Gu City and headed to the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation.
According to Jiang Liu's estimate, after so many days, the Half-Origin Celestial Pearl should have fully recovered.
And it has stored up enough energy to be able to move again.
After a day of flying, Jiang Liu, Gongsun Haoyue, Fire-Winged Monkey, and Sea Turtle arrived at the place where the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation was placed.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Liu communicated with the Ruyi Celestial Palace Spirit within his Divine Sea, and soon they entered the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation together.
Feeling the renewed abundance of vital energy within the secret realm, Jiang Liu was extremely satisfied. It seemed that leaving this place would allow the Half-Origin Celestial Pearl to recover even faster.
Jiang Liu sat cross-legged in the central hall of the Ruyi Celestial Palace, while Gongsun Haoyue sat not far away from Jiang Liu.
As the Saintly Sky Art was activated within his body, Jiang Liu then began to communicate with the Ruyi Celestial Palace.
Jiang Liu no longer moves without any preparation as he used to.
Not long after, just like the previous two times, the Ruyi Celestial Palace began to tremble.
This time, the Ruyi Celestial Palace trembled for a longer period of time, and Jiang Liu could clearly feel that the Ruyi Celestial Palace was drawing less of his spiritual energy than before.
Jiang Liu couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the more times one moves, the less mental energy one needs?
He didn't know if this idea was right or wrong, but he did feel that his Divine Sea seemed to expand a bit after each teleportation, so this teleportation should help his cultivation.
However, those things can be discussed later. Right now, Jiang Liu wants to see just how far they've moved this time.
Once the entire secret realm had completely stabilized, Jiang Liu pulled Gongsun Haoyue along and they left the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation together.
Jiang Liu looked around carefully and realized that he was not familiar with the terrain.
Gongsun Haoyue, who was standing to the side, let out a sound of surprise, and then continued to examine the object.
"My Husband, we have arrived at the Shan County of Qian Province," Gongsun Haoyue said after looking around for a while.
"Shan County?" Jiang Liu thought for a moment and said, "Didn't Medicine King Valley relocate to Shan County? I wonder if they've arrived yet?"
Immediately, Gongsun Haoyue leaped into the air, determined her direction, and said to Jiang Liu, "Then let's go to the Mountain City and ask, won't that clarify things?"
Jiang Liu nodded, then followed behind Gongsun Haoyue, flying towards the direction of the Mountain City.
