Chapter 423: Same Room, Same Sect (Please Subscribe!!)
At this time, the Wei Family and other newly affiliated forces of the Yuan Yang Sect had not yet returned to their respective territories. Liu Yu instructed the two women to lead Wei Guangzheng and others to wait at the Eternal Prosperity Market.
He planned to thoroughly interrogate them before lifting the spiritual locking restriction placed on them and finally sending them back to their own territories.
"However, before that, I need to deal with the hidden danger posed by Song Haocang."
After organizing the general matters, a cold glint flashed in Liu Yu's eyes as he prepared to resolve this threat immediately.
"Yes!"
"Senior Brother, please rest assured, the matters you entrusted to us will be arranged properly by Qiushui," Jiang Qiushui said, biting her lip.
She was somewhat curious about why Liu Yu wouldn’t accompany the team to the Eternal Prosperity Market but instead chose to leave mysteriously.
However, Jiang Qiushui knew better than to ask too much, as prying into things that weren't her business would only irritate Senior Brother. Thus, she refrained from digging deeper.
Only by doing well in the tasks assigned by Senior Brother could she maintain his favor.
Cold Moon Heart remained silent, simply nodding and clasping her hands respectfully.
It was unclear whether it was due to her cultivation technique, but she had always been taciturn, a fact Liu Yu had long since become accustomed to.
As long as they harbored no ill intentions and carried out the tasks assigned to them, he was willing to let them be.
To some extent, he preferred a bit of discord among his subordinates rather than too much harmony.
After giving instructions, the two women quickly took their leave, their figures soon disappearing from the wooden house, leaving only a faint fragrance behind.
According to the arrangements, the two women would lead the team to patrol the areas under Liu Yu's jurisdiction, reaching the Eternal Prosperity Market.
Compared to their arrival, the team's strength had undoubtedly shrunk significantly.
A portion of the sect's direct disciples had been reassigned, and the sect's disciples combined with the cultivators from Qingzhou barely amounted to one hundred qi refinement stage cultivators.
As for the foundation establishment cultivators, only Meng Wenxing remained; the others had already been reassigned by the sect.
Whether they were being reassigned or returning to Qingzhou, he was unclear.
Including Liu Yu himself, there were only four foundation establishment cultivators available for his command, along with a hundred qi refinement stage cultivators.
As for the newly affiliated forces from Yuan State, they would return to their territories, honoring the Yuan Yang Sect as their superior sect and contributing certain resources annually.
However, although the sect had made such arrangements, in the event of an emergency, they could still act flexibly.
Liu Yu could summon these people again in the sect's name, but it would require some time.
Yet, given his current prestige, he believed these forces wouldn’t dare to delay or defy orders.
The remaining cultivators from White Cloud Temple had nearly lost their command, becoming scattered forces each fighting for themselves.
With Jiang Qiushui, Cold Moon Heart, and Meng Wenxing as the core, the dozen or so foundation establishment cultivators could still manage the arrangements for the patrol.
And with the spiritual locking restriction still in place, there was no need to worry about these individuals "rebelling."
After careful consideration and confirming that there were no issues, Liu Yu nodded slightly.
It wasn't that he was overly cautious; after all, circumstances had changed.
Though White Cloud Temple had been destroyed, the atmosphere in this region had gradually become subtle and strange.
Not only did he have to guard against the remnants of White Cloud Temple and wandering demonic cultivators, but he also had to be wary of the other two sects that were nominal allies.
