Gongsun Haoyue, who was standing to the side, had already moved away from Jiang Liu and flew to the sea.
Just now, when Jiang Liu devoured the last divine soul of the statue on Tian Xuan Island, a powerful pressure suddenly emanated from his body, instantly crushing the entire temple.
Then, Jiang Liu's aura soared into the sky, enveloping the entire Tian Xuan Island.
In an instant, everyone in the King Chujiang Hall who remained on Tian Xuan Island felt this powerful aura and pressure, giving them a sense that a great calamity was about to befall them.
In a daze, they all seemed to have become lambs to the slaughter in front of Jiang Liu.
After a series of victories, he had thoroughly quelled the rebellion of the Fifth Judge Palace and showed a hint of arrogance, which vanished instantly.
Some of the Grandmaster, seeing that Jiang Liu hadn't made a single move since the start of the war, assumed that he was just all show and not a real Saint Realm expert.
As a result, Jiang Liu's unintentional display of skill terrified them half to death.
It turns out that it wasn't that others didn't want to take action, but rather that he disdained to deal with these small fry.
Besides, even their temple master is someone else's subordinate, so what right do they have to look down on them?
If Jiang Liu knew what they were thinking, he would probably just smile dismissively.
If it weren't for the fact that they were still useful, their corpses would probably have been fed to the sea monsters by now. Why would they be left here to mutter complaints about me?
Jiang Liu withdrew his imposing aura, concealing his presence, and appeared as ordinary as before, with no aura whatsoever.
At this moment, the people in the King Chujiang Hall all looked at Jiang Liu with respect on their faces and deep fear in their eyes.
Moreover, whenever they mentioned Jiang Liu afterward, they no longer had the same relaxed and carefree demeanor as before.
Jiang Liu was completely unconcerned about the change in attitude of the people from the King Chujiang Hall.
As long as they are still useful, keep them.
If they harbor disloyal thoughts when they are no longer of any use, then death will be the only thing waiting for them.
Dongling Rui was well aware of Jiang Liu's thoughts, so he never dared to overstep his bounds in front of Jiang Liu and always appeared extremely respectful.
Moreover, he was able to handle all the tasks assigned by Jiang Liu with utmost care and efficiency.
It was all so that she could gain the impression that Jiang Liu was very useful to her.
In fact, the longer he followed Jiang Liu, the more he felt that this man was unfathomable.
The aura that Jiang Liu occasionally exuded always made him tremble with fear.
The deeper his fear of Jiang Liu became.
Now, he no longer dared to have the slightest disrespect for Jiang Liu.
These impressions were all created in him by Jiang Liu's constant admonitions.
After the people from the King Chujiang Hall had finished packing up on Tian Xuan Island, Jiang Liu immediately ordered them to set off.
He is now very curious about what exactly happened on Dubhe Island.
So many days have passed, and not a single ship from Dubhe Island has appeared. Could it be that they have all run away?
When Jiang Liu and the people from the King Chujiang Hall arrived at Dubhe Island, they were startled by the scene before them.
The massive Dubhe Island was now a scene of utter devastation, stained with blood everywhere, but devoid of any sign of human habitation.
Judging from the situation, the people from Dubhe Island have already left for some time.
Most importantly, they were ruthless towards their own people.
Judging from the bloodstains on the ground, it was clear that those who refused to leave were killed, and their bodies were taken away.
It has to be said, the Baili family on Dubhe Island is really ruthless!
They abandoned the people on the islands ahead as bait to delay the Jiang Liu's advance and buy time for their evacuation.
Then they moved everything that could be moved from the island, and destroyed everything that couldn't be taken.
Clearly, the statues in those temples are no longer there.
Jiang Liu looked at the several tall temples on the island and felt a pang of regret.
Jiang Liu guessed that the people on Dubhe Island must have detected the strength of their group before they arrived at Yao Guang Island.
That's why they so decisively abandoned the people on the previous islands and evacuated immediately.
They slaughtered all the people on the island who refused to leave, just to prevent them from revealing their whereabouts.
Faced with this situation, Jiang Liu felt quite helpless and had no choice but to order the people of the King Chujiang Hall to rest here temporarily.
Once he has thought things through and decided which direction to take, then he can make a plan.
Jiang Liu now faces two directions: one is the Assassin Alliance of the Wheel King Palace, and the other is finding these escaped Fifth Judge Palace people.
Jiang Liu already knew the approximate location of the people from the Wheel King Palace, but he still needed to find someone familiar with this sea area to guide him.
Someone familiar with this sea area? Thinking of this, Jiang Liu couldn't help but look towards the eastern sea.
He then suddenly remembered that there was a small island nation in the eastern sea, East Wo Country.
Thinking back to what this East Wo Country did on the mainland, we haven't settled accounts with them yet.
It's a pity that the Koinu Jun'ichiro was killed by the Haotian Sect last time.
Otherwise, we could let him lead the team.
However, Jiang Liu believed that many people in the East Wo Country would be willing to lead his team.
And this time, they followed the same route that Ming Chengyun and Jiang Congyue took last time, and surprisingly, they didn't encounter any remnants of the Haotian Sect.
I wonder where they've hidden themselves again.
And who are the forces colluding with them?
Unfortunately, Ming Chengyun and Jiang Congyue were not invited this time.
It wasn't that Jiang Liu didn't want to, but rather that Jiang Liu felt that if he invited them, they would most likely become a burden.
After all, Jiang Liu didn't want to become their caregiver.
As for the fate of the people in the King Chujiang Hall, Jiang Liu didn't care.
Suddenly, Jiang Liu felt a chill run down his spine. He thought to himself, "Could the force that colluded with the Haotian Sect be the Assassin Alliance?"
If that's the case, then something really bad is going to happen.
One is a remnant force familiar with the situation on the mainland, and the other is a professional assassin who specializes in carrying out assassinations and sabotage in the shadows.
If they unite and hide in the shadows to sabotage the mainland, then I'll be in for a real headache.
Fortunately, the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation had been moved back to Qiancheng.
In this way, at least the safety of Murong Yin and Feng Yue is now guaranteed.
This is one of the reasons why Jiang Liu was able to come out with peace of mind.
With this in mind, Jiang Liu decided to rest here for a few days before heading east to the Eastern East Wo Country.
Let's settle accounts with them, and while we're at it, find a few people familiar with this area to show us the way.
As for whether the remnants of the Haotian Sect are colluding with the people of the Wheel King Palace, that will be determined after the location is found.
