"I'll take care of it." At this point, the Grand Elder had no objections, but he gave a few instructions before leaving, and then led Fan Ziming and a few disciples down the mountain.
Jiang Bai stayed behind to direct his disciples to clean up the ruins and salvage as much of what was still usable as possible.
In this kind of weather, they must find shelter as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a big challenge for them when it snows again.
"Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin!" After dealing with the most important matter, Bai Hao finally thought of Xiao Jin and hurriedly searched around, but he couldn't find Xiao Jin anywhere.
At this moment, someone said, "Senior Brother, I saw that Xiao Jin seems to be heading towards the back mountain."
"The back mountain? I didn't see her when I came down." Muttering to himself, Bai Hao turned around and went back to the back mountain.
Back at the pool on the mountain, Bai Hao saw Xiao Jin sitting alone by the pool, her slender, smooth feet splashing in the water, seemingly unfazed by the cold.
"Xiao Jin, what are you doing here?"
Upon hearing Bai Hao's voice, Xiao Jin quickly turned around and said, "I've been waiting for you."
"What are you waiting for me for? Were you hurt just now?"
"No."
"That's good."
Bai Hao walked over, patted Xiao Jin's head, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "If there's nothing else, you can stay here for the time being. The sect hasn't been repaired yet, so there's nowhere for you to stay for the time being."
“Yes, yes, I grew up here too. Ah Hao, why don’t you go inside and take care of the sect leader first?” Xiao Jin nodded obediently.
"Then you can take this with you for now. If you get hungry, go down and see if the elders have brought back anything."
"Then I'll go down and take a look now."
Xiao Jin left without hesitation, getting up and jogging down the mountain.
Shaking his head helplessly, Bai Hao figured that since Xiao Jin was alright, he didn't need to worry about anything. Instead, he went inside to check on Su Yuewan.
Su Yuewan was still unconscious, but her breathing was even, and her face was a little pale, but not completely bloodless. Her condition had improved considerably.
Bai Hao took her pulse, fed her a Rejuvenation Pill, and then left it to Su Yuewan to recover on her own.
...
In this battle, the entire Luohai Sect was destroyed, even worse than when it had declined before. Fortunately, this time only the buildings collapsed, and the disciples were still alive, with few casualties.
Moreover, they weren't afraid of being ashamed to admit it. Compared to beggars, the Falling Sea Sect had almost no treasured secret manuals or techniques, so they weren't afraid even if they were destroyed.
The only valuable item was the batch of healing medicine that Bai Hao had bought at great expense. The sect disciples used about half of it to refine the cold energy, and about half of the remaining half was destroyed, so it was still acceptable.
However, it is still winter, and the craftsmen in Bailu Town are not working, so they cannot rebuild the sect. They can only go up the mountain to work after spring.
Finally, having no other choice, Fan Ziming led his men to cut down a lot of wood and personally built one wooden house after another. They were quite decent, at least providing shelter from the wind and snow so they wouldn't have to sleep on the streets.
Su Yuewan woke up two days later, but her body was still very weak. The large consumption of her true energy had even affected her life essence, and she could not recover in just one or two days.
These past two days, Bai Hao has moved the entire kitchen to the back mountain—of course, it's just a very basic kitchen, with the stove built on the spot using mud. This was a last resort, as Bai Hao needed to prepare some nutritious food for Su Yuewan.
"Sect Master, I've cooked you some radish porridge. Eat it while it's hot." Bai Hao walked in carrying a bowl of fresh, piping hot radish porridge.
Su Yuewan leaned against the bed, already awake. Although her complexion had recovered somewhat, it was still a little pale and lacked vitality.
"Is it just radish porridge?" Su Yuewan glanced at the porridge in the bowl; it only contained some radishes.
"You've only been awake for a short time, so you can't eat such greasy food. Eat something lighter for the next couple of days, and I'll make you something nicer after you've recovered," Bai Hao comforted him like a child.
"But I just want to eat meat," Su Yuewan pouted and muttered softly.
"Then you eat this meal first, and I'll cook you some lean meat porridge tonight." Bai Hao finally compromised, this was his bottom line.
After receiving Bai Hao's "promise," Su Yuewan finally accepted the radish porridge with satisfaction and began to eat it in small bites.
Despite saying she wanted to eat meat, Su Yuewan ate the radish porridge with great relish, finishing it in no time.
"I want more."
As she handed over the bowl, Su Yuewan slightly raised her white head and smiled gently.
Bai Hao rolled his eyes helplessly, took the empty bowl, went out and filled another bowl with it.
This time, Su Yuewan ate slowly, perhaps because she wasn't so hungry anymore, or perhaps because she wanted to savor the food.
Watching Su Yuewan eat, Bai Hao, sitting to the side, also began to report on the situation he had gathered over the past few days:
"Sect Master, the White Dragon Venerable has already self-destructed and died. However, the demonic beasts in the Northern Region have completely broken through the seal, and the Chu Kingdom is under great pressure. At the same time as we were attacked by the White Dragon Venerable, the other major sects were also attacked. They should all be his subordinates. All the major sects have suffered considerable losses."
That day, Venerable White Dragon attacked all the major sects simultaneously. Otherwise, even if the other sects didn't have a very good relationship with the Falling Sea Sect, they wouldn't have allowed Venerable White Dragon to destroy the Falling Sea Sect, because that would weaken the eyesight of all the humans on the Divine Radiance Continent and would bring no benefit whatsoever.
But from that day until now, no one from other sects has come to visit, because they have all been attacked and are in dire need of protection.
"I guessed it too. Even if they have grudges against us, they wouldn't make a foolish choice at a time like this. The only possibility is that they're also tied up and can't get away," Su Yuewan said in a deep voice.
"What about the losses of the other sects?"
"The losses aren't too great. The people Venerable White Dragon sent to other sects weren't very strong. Even the Divine Sea Sect, which suffered the most severe losses, only had half of its sect destroyed and two elders killed," Bai Hao said.
"I think their strategy was to have those people hold off the other sects, and then go help us once the White Dragon Venerable had dealt with us. But they certainly didn't expect that the White Dragon Venerable would be defeated here."
The White Dragon Venerable's plan was actually quite good; if they couldn't wipe them out in one fell swoop, they would defeat them one by one. However, they never expected that the plan would go wrong with the White Dragon Venerable. The Falling Sea Sect directly killed the White Dragon Venerable, solving the problem at its source.
