It wasn't until noon, after some tidying up, that Dongling Rui came to report the results of the battle to Jiang Liu.
After listening to Dongling Rui's report, Jiang Liu nodded and said, "Although everyone is exhausted, Kai Yang Island is not far ahead. Let's rest there!"
"Yes, sir!" Dongling Rui bowed respectfully to Jiang Liu before turning to leave.
After returning to the ship, Dongling Rui immediately ordered the large ship to set sail.
Although the people of the King Chujiang Hall were exhausted after this fierce battle, they were still in high spirits when they thought about the gains they had made. They mustered their Yu Yong and rowed hard towards Kai Yang Island.
There were no ordinary boatmen on the large ship of the King Chujiang Hall; all the boatmen and sailors were disciples of the King Chujiang Hall.
They simply hired an experienced helmsman to take the helm.
Several hours later, the enormous Kai Yang Island appeared before the crowd in the King Chujiang Hall.
This time, without Dongling Rui giving any orders, the people from the King Chujiang Hall had already flown towards the island.
News of the defeat at Five Islands had already reached back home.
Kai Yang Island is now in complete chaos. The remaining members of the Yuwen Family have long since fled, leaving behind only those of low strength.
Jiang Liu had actually anticipated this outcome.
On the next few islands, you're unlikely to encounter any skilled opponents.
After these repeated blows, it's estimated that the remaining experts of the Fifth Judge Palace have already fled this place.
What puzzled Jiang Liu was that he didn't know what the current situation was with Dubhe Island, and it hadn't sent anyone to help the people from these islands.
It should be noted that with the strength of Dubhe Island alone, it would be more than capable of wiping out the other six islands.
If they escape, in this vast ocean, it's truly impossible to know where to find them.
However, regardless of the circumstances, we'll start from here and sweep through island after island.
Smash all the temples on these islands. Jiang Liu has long coveted the divine soul inside the statue of the Halls of Yama.
Not long after, Dongling Rui came to report that he had completely taken control of the island and invited Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue to come to the island together.
Jiang Liu, carrying Gongsun Haoyue, flew out from the back of the Sea Turtle and headed towards Yao Guang Island.
Arriving above Yao Guang Island, Jiang Liu noticed that the island was quite large and had beautiful scenery, especially the five enormous temples on the island, which piqued Jiang Liu interest.
At this moment, screams could still be heard intermittently on the island, and the smell of blood was strong.
Faced with these things, Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue remained calm and composed, as if it were commonplace.
After these past few days, Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue finally realized how ruthless the various halls of the Halls of Yama were to their own people!
It turns out that falling into the hands of their own people in the various halls of the Halls of Yama, being able to die quickly is already the best reward for them.
Because the people of the King Chujiang Hall know how to use various methods to cut flesh, remove bones, bleed, eviscerate, disembowel, scoop out brains, and pull out tendons.
They will use every imaginable and unimaginable method to treat those who have been captured.
And they do this simply to squeeze the last drop of life out of these people.
Some of their methods were so outrageous that even Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue would call them monstrous.
"Alright, go and rest! We'll wander around on our own!" Jiang Liu waved to Dongling Rui and said.
Dongling Rui bowed, clasped his hands in farewell, and turned to leave.
Jiang Liu, carrying Gongsun Haoyue, descended towards the tallest temple in the center of the island.
Arriving at the temple gate, Jiang Liu pushed open the door and went inside.
Gongsun Haoyue stayed outside and did not go in.
Upon entering the temple, Jiang Liu could clearly feel that the oppressive aura he had felt at the statue on Yao Guang Island had disappeared from this statue.
It seems that the Source of the Netherworld's regional blessing on this sea area has been completely sealed off.
Therefore, for the people of the Halls of Yama, this sea area is no different from any other ordinary place.
Jiang Liu stretched out his large hand, and a giant hand of primordial energy appeared, directly striking the forehead of the statue.
Then, a bloodcurdling scream echoed within Jiang Liu's Divine Sea.
With a crisp "crack!", the enormous statue slowly split open, and the divine soul that was born inside was completely devoured by Jiang Liu.
"Phew!" Jiang Liu exhaled comfortably. The breath he exhaled changed shape in the air, finally settling on the form of the King Wuguan before dissipating in the air.
This is the last trace left in this world by this soul, which has existed for over a thousand years.
Each time Jiang Liu devoured the souls within these Halls of Yama statues, he could clearly feel his Divine Sea growing stronger.
Gongsun Haoyue smiled happily when she saw Jiang Liu walk out of the temple with a satisfied expression.
The two then visited the remaining four temples on the island.
After Jiang Liu devoured the divine soul in the last temple, the two arrived at a mountain peak on Kai Yang Island.
The two planned to get some food here, and then spend the next two days cultivating.
Now that news of the defeat at Five Islands has spread, there's no need to rush.
Once the people of the King Chujiang Hall have had a full rest, they will then press on and completely annihilate the remaining islands to eliminate any future troubles.
As for those who fled this place, we don't need to pay them any more attention. Let's wipe out this sea area first.
Those who fled, it's unknown how long it will take for them to regain their former prominence.
Without any real power, Jiang Liu doesn't really care about them anymore.
It wasn't worth the trouble for him to go to such lengths to find it.
Two days later, Jiang Liu finally gave the order to continue advancing toward Yu Heng Island.
For the next three days, the people of the King Chujiang Hall were completely engrossed in revelry.
Since joining the King Chujiang Hall, they have never received so many cultivation resources as they do now.
Before they set sail, their temple master had told them that the harvest this time would far exceed their expectations.
The result still exceeded everyone's expectations.
When Jiang Liu devoured the divine soul inside the last statue on Tian Xuan Island, he finally sensed a disturbance in his own Divine Sea.
With a thought, a deep blue light screen appeared before Jiang Liu's eyes.

Jiang Liu never expected that devouring the souls of these statues would bring him such a huge surprise.
This absorption saved me several years of mental cultivation time.
