Jiang Renyi nodded.
“Granduncle, Elder Hua of the Jade Water Sword Pavilion is here.
At the moment, she’s in the guest hall. My third brother is entertaining her.”
“Oh, is Fellow Daoist Hua here?”
Jiang Chengxuan was a little surprised.
“Did she say why she is here?”
Jiang Renyi shook his head and said, “No, but she said that she’s here to look for you or Grandaunt.”
“Is that so?”
Jiang Chengxuan thought for a moment and said,
“Your Grandaunt is currently in seclusion. If there’s no need, try not to disturb her.
Let’s go.”
With that, Jiang Chengxuan and Jiang Renyi headed to the guest hall.
As soon as he arrived at the guest hall, Jiang Chengxuan saw Hua Mengyou in a rose dress.
At this moment, she happened to be looking at the door.
When their gazes met, a smile immediately appeared on Hua Mengyou’s face. She stood up and bowed to Jiang Chengxuan.
“Fellow Cultivator Jiang, I came uninvited. If I have disturbed you, 1 hope you can forgive me.”
“Not at all.”
Jiang Chengxuan smiled and waved his hand.
“It’s our honor to have you here.”
At this moment, Jiang Rendao did not stay any longer.
After nodding at Jiang Chengxuan, he left the guest hall with Jiang Renyi.
When there were only two left, Jiang Chengxuan asked Hua Mengyou,
“By the way, Fellow Daoist Hua, is there anything urgent that you have to make the trip all the way to the Jiang family to inform me?”
Hearing this, a solemn expression appeared on Hua Mengyou’s face.
She looked at Jiang Chengxuan and said, “Fellow Daoist Jiang, to be honest, 1 came here to confirm something with you.”
“Confirm something with me?”
Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes narrowed, and he had some guesses as to what it was about.
Indeed.
Hua Mengyou continued, “When you went to the Zheng Nation with Fellow Daoist Shen that day, did you have a conflict with the people there?”
Before Jiang Chengxuan could answer, Hua Mengyou continued,
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, don’t misunderstand. The reason why I asked is just to confirm whether it’s true. 1 don’t mean anything else.”
“I see.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
He knew that since Hua Mengyou had said so, it meant that she or the Jade Water Sword Pavilion had some understanding of the things they had done in the Zheng Nation.
There was no need for him to hide anything from Hua Mengyou, who could be considered a friend of his.
Therefore, Jiang Chengxuan told Hua Mengyou about what they had encountered in the Zheng Nation.
When Hua Mengyou heard this, a knowing expression appeared on her beautiful face.
She thought for a moment and said to Jiang Chengxuan,
“Although the people you killed have some background, they are after all from the Liang Nation.
Given that the demon beast riot is around the corner, they probably won’t think about taking revenge.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is to try not to go to the Zheng Nation after this demon beast riot.
If the Golden Core cultivators on their side find you, even if my Shifu wants to protect you, I’m afraid he won’t be able to do it.”
It was obvious that Hua Mengyou was hinting to Jiang Chengxuan that her Shifu, Gu Yuefeng, or rather, the Jade Water Sword Pavilion, would back them up should the Zheng Nation take retaliatory measures.
The only thing they needed to do was not to go to the Zheng Nation.
Unless you already had the confidence and strength, it was best to limit their range of activity in the Liang, Yun, and Yan Nations.
Jiang Chengxuan nodded to express his understanding and thanked her.
After that, the two of them chatted for a while.
At a certain point, Hua Mengyou’s expression turned solemn.
She said, “Fellow Daoist Jiang, apart from confirming that with you, I have something more important to tell you.”
“Yes?”
For some reason, Jiang Chengxuan’s heart skipped a beat.
Hua Mengyou continued, “I believe you’ve more or less guessed it.
That’s right, it’s about the upcoming demon beast riot.
According to the speculations by the Golden Core cultivators of my sect, the Heavenly Yue Sect, and the various sects in the other two nations, the demon beast riot will probably arrive in seven years.
Moreover, the scale of the demon beast riot this time might be even larger than last time.”
These words made Jiang Chengxuan’s expression turn solemn.
Seven years was much earlier than he had expected.
“Therefore, in order to prevent those demon beasts from breaking through our defense line,
A trace of killing intent appeared on Hua Mengyou’s beautiful face.
“We have decided to set up many defensive cities on the borders to try our best to stop those demon beasts from advancing into the core area.”
“Hmm? Defensive cities?”
Jiang Chengxuan was a little surprised.
Hua Mengyou nodded and said, “That’s right. Defensive cities.
This matter is already being handled by my sect and the Heavenly Yue Sect. It will not be long before the defensive cities are built up.
Moreover, every city would be equipped with at least a high-grade Level 3 defensive array.
A few of the core defensive cities will have Level 4 defensive arrays and will be personally guarded by Golden Core cultivators.
At that time, even if we face a Violet Palace demon beast or even a Golden Core demon king, we will have the ability to resist them.”
This was really a big operation.
Jiang Chengxuan really did not expect the Liang, Yun, and Yan Nations to take such a bold measure this time.
They actually wanted to keep all the demon beasts outside human territory.
If this operation was successful, it would definitely boost morale.
Most importantly, this cooperation sent off a message to the demon beasts that the humans of the three nations would stand together to protect their land.
After all, when those demon beasts took down the territory of the human race, most of the time, they would not retreat and return to their original territory.
Most of the time, they would stay and turn that territory into the home of their demon beasts.
This was also the main reason why the area of the Cangnan Region had been decreasing over the years.
Many areas were occupied by those demon beasts.
Obviously, the Jade Water Sword Pavilion and all the Golden Core forces in the three nations had already realized that defending was not going to take them far.
They had to take drastic measures.
Otherwise, in the long run, the human race would have less and less room to survive and fewer resources.
They did not know what the Zheng and Shu Nations would do.
However, the Liang, Yun, and Yan Nations would have to join forces.
As for whether a Nascent Soul sect would come to their aid, they weren’t optimistic about that.
After all, the Cangnan Region they were in was only a very remote place in the Northern Border of the Nine Essences Immortal Cultivation World.
There were not enough Nascent Soul cultivators. How could they have the spare energy to take care of a small place like theirs?
Therefore, the only way out for them was to work together to minimize the damage brought by the demon beast riot
At this moment, Hua Mengyou looked at Jiang Chengxuan.
She finally revealed the real purpose of her trip.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, you and your Dao companion, as rare late-stage Violet Palace cultivators of our Liang Nation,
At that time, I hope that you can be in charge of guarding a defensive city with the other fellow Daoists.
Here, I thank you on behalf of the thousands of mortals and cultivators in Liang Nation.”
With that, Hua Mengyou stood up solemnly and walked closer to Jiang Chengxuan. Then, she bowed deeply to him..
