After saying this, Fang Jian said to the land gods present, "Each of you should take a few bundles of Five Yang Wood back with you. Light the Five Yang Wood within a hundred feet of the land temple every day to keep the creatures who come here to avoid the cold warm."

"Yes." The land gods responded and bowed, "Mountain King, please have mercy."

Fang Jian waved his hand. "To be honest, those Five Yang Woods weren't my work... but now that they can benefit the people of Broken Boundary Mountain, it's a great deed. I think there are tens of thousands of bundles of them. Go back today and take five bundles each. Come back for more when you're done."

"Yes, sir." Everyone responded in unison.

As Fang Jian was speaking, his brows suddenly twitched and he looked outside the hall.

After a few breaths, a clear voice was heard from outside Yuquan Peak: "I, the little demon Yu Hecong, have been ordered by the headmaster and the elders to come and pay my respects to the God of Broken Realm Mountain."

"Hmm?" Fang Jian looked at everyone with a puzzled look and asked, "Is there a demon cultivation sect in Xihua Province?"

"No." Everyone was speechless after hearing this. "I've never heard of it."

Fang Jian thought for a moment, then said to Hong Yuanhua, "Bring him to see me."

"Yes." Hong Yuanhua bowed and accepted the order.

Then Fang Jian said to the land gods in front of him, "Alright, everyone, go back and make your own arrangements as we agreed before. I'm not very well-off here, so I haven't prepared any food or wine for you."

Everyone laughed again. Although Fang Jian's words were just a joke, they brought everyone present closer together.

In the past, everyone had their own duties, and the Heavenly Court stipulated that immortal officials could not cross boundaries. Everyone just knew that each other had such a person, and there were very few opportunities to meet and talk, so there was a sense of alienation as if they would never interact with each other again.

It also made them realize that although they couldn't get together across borders on weekdays, it would always be okay to meet and talk at Yuquan Peak, the superior office.

Then everyone bid farewell to Fang Jian, walked out of the mountain temple, and each went to the edge of the cliff to start taking the five yang wood openly.

Even Xiao Yuan took five bundles of firewood back this time and made an appointment with everyone to come together to collect the five yang wood next time.

After Fang Jian sent away these land gods, Hong Yuanhua also brought the newcomers into the mountain god temple.

A demon cultivator in the Yangshen realm bowed directly to Fang Jian after entering the hall, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

"I am Yu Hecong, the little demon, and I am here to meet the mountain king." Yu Hecong bowed and kowtowed.

Fang Jian looked at him and asked, "Who sent you here, and why?"

Yu Hecong said respectfully, "My Lord, I have come here on the orders of the headmaster and elders of the Huanzhou Sect. I would like to invite you to Qingjiangyuan in fifteen days to witness the completion ceremony of our sect."

When Fang Jian heard this, a possibility immediately flashed through his mind, so he asked, "Could it be that this Huanzhou Sect is a sect jointly established by the major demon palaces?"

Yu Hecong said respectfully, "Your Excellency is wise, that's exactly what you said."

"Are all the original Nine Caves Demon Mansion involved?" Fang Jian asked.

"Yes, Mr. Shan," Yu Hecong replied.

Fang Jian asked again, "Whose Taoist teachings are these?"

"Bai Ze Demon God." When Yu Hecong mentioned this name, his tone was full of reverence.

Hong Yuanhua's expression froze, but Fang Jian was not surprised. Instead, he asked a final question: "Who is your leader?"

"The headmaster's secular name is Ding Xinglan." Yu Hecong replied.

Fang Jian nodded and said, "I understand. Go back and tell your headmaster that I will be attending the ceremony in fifteen days."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hecong immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Mountain. I'll take my leave."

Afterwards, Yu Hecong bowed three times and left the Mountain God Hall. Fang Jian ordered Hong Yuanhua to see him off, leaving him alone in the hall to meditate.

It's clear that the First Nine Caves have found a strong backer, and after the merger of the First Nine Caves into a new sect, their strength will surely be taken to the next level. Previously, the First Nine Caves were a loose group, each operating independently, but now that they have consolidated their strength through the establishment of a new sect, their future development is promising.

However, their actions had nothing to do with Fang Jian, and Fang Jian didn't care, as long as they stopped opposing the Heavenly Court.
