Ji Mofan remained noncommittal about Li Jinchu's words.
Chaoming Palace appeared to be the most severely affected, with even its own sect's back mountain collapsing. However, in reality, Xiaoling Sect was actually in more serious condition.
After all, because they evacuated quickly enough, they suffered almost no casualties.
Some people who were separated from their families during their escape were reunited with their relatives under the arrangement of the monks of Chaoming Palace; there were no missing persons.
In contrast, it was the Chaoming Palace that actually engaged in a real, formal battle with the demonic cultivators.
They are not only truly trained demon soldiers, but also demon soldiers whose mental state far exceeds that of normal people under the influence of the Blood Infant Gu and resentment.
During the time Ji Mofan stayed at Pingnan Pass, although all he saw were demonic cultivators being suppressed and beaten by the city guards of the Xiaoling Sect, casualties were inevitable.
Not to mention that the Xiaoling Sect also has to take care of the eight smaller sects around it.
With the added burdens placed on him by the Li family, Li Jinchu's responsibilities would be several times greater than those of Ji Mo.
But he turned out to be the first one to arrive.
Ji Mo Fan had no intention of commenting on the motives of the other three sects, so he could only sigh.
The days of united hatred against a common enemy are over; now it's time for everyone to go their own way again.
So the matter of going out to find Xiao Wangyan was put on hold again, and Ji Mofan first took Li Jinchu for a walk around the Chaoming Palace.
Listening to Ji Mofan recount the disaster situation in the surrounding towns, Li Jinchu didn't mince words and quickly finalized the aid plan.
His two attendants also carried many Qiankun bags filled with supplies, and upon arriving in the disaster area, they actively joined the work of comforting the victims.
"Would you like to visit the other three sects together later?" After giving the gifts, Li Jinchu's true colors began to show.
Ji Mofan was slightly taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle softly, "So this is where you were waiting for me."
He was still wondering when Young Master Li had become so kind-hearted. He was busy with various affairs, yet he was willing to take the initiative to do things that were more difficult than rewarding.
He and Li Jinchu had a good relationship in private, but when it came to matters concerning the sect's interests, Li Jinchu never hesitated to act ruthlessly.
If we disregard the element of personal gain involved, the only possibility is that Li Jinchu could extract some benefits from the Chaoming Palace.
But Chaoming Palace is already struggling to take care of itself, so what benefits could he possibly gain?
All you have left is reputation.
Although the Chaoming Palace's mountain gate collapsed, the Guixu Lantern Island, where the disciples' soul lamps were placed, remained unscathed. Even though it was now in dire straits, the foundation of the second-ranked sect among the hundred immortal families remained intact.
As long as Chaoming Palace and Xiaoling Sect come together to exert pressure, they are not afraid that they will not be able to get the other three sects to provide aid supplies and manpower.
Actually, it wouldn't be impossible for Li Jinchu to go alone; no one would dare to disrespect him as the chief of the Xiaoling Sect.
But if he really went there alone, he would inevitably be criticized for abusing his power.
After all, his appearance represented not only the Xiaoling Sect, but also the Li Clan.
But adding the Chaoming Hall changes everything.
Although the underlying tensions inevitably carry an element of bullying, the fact that the two sides stood together represents negotiation and a moral high ground, leaving no room for blame.
Moreover, Ji Mofan has no family support behind him; he is a lone commander, and everything he says and does is directed solely at the sect.
"Wait for me for a quarter of an hour. I'll go back and explain things, then I'll go with you." Ji Mofan thought for a moment and gave himself some time.
Li Jinchu wasn't in a hurry, so he waited for a while in the reception area that had been temporarily renovated in the Chaoming Hall.
The mountain gate of Chaoming Hall collapsed, and the main hall was naturally not spared either, turning from a cuboid into a square pyramid.
The current reception area is a temporary structure built next to the newly renovated mountain gate.
As the protective array slowly unfolded before him, the semi-transparent protective shield completely enveloped the entire Chaoming Palace within a safe range. Even Li Jinchu, who had already witnessed how sturdy the Xiaoling Sect's protective array was, now felt a little envious of the newly built protective array of Chaoming Palace.
"Did you make this?" Li Jinchu asked casually as Ji Mofan walked in from outside.
“Yes.” Ji Mofan nodded and placed a small sign on the table in front of him.
Li Jinchu raised an eyebrow and reached out to pull the small sign in front of her. "What's this?"
"The sect token of Chaoming Palace," Ji Mofan said. "I'll probably be troubling you a bit more recently. Take this, and you won't need to wait for me to pick you up next time you enter Chaoming Palace."
Li Jinchu's lips twitched, but she didn't say anything and put the sect token away.
Two attendants were left in the towns surrounding Chaoming Palace, while Ji Mofan and Li Jinchu traveled together.
There are advantages too. Young Master Li is rich and has no shortage of magical artifacts. When they go out to travel, they can ride together on flying magical artifacts.
The interior space of this magical artifact is not large, at most accommodating three to five people. For the two of them, it is more than enough.
Being any bigger wouldn't make a difference; it would be a waste of spirit stones, and it would also make flying slower.
Starting from Chaoming Palace, the nearest sect to them is Changfeng Valley.
It was past noon when they stood in front of the gate of Changfeng Valley.
The area around Changfeng Valley looks much better than Chaoming Palace and Xiaoling Sect. It's just that a hurricane has blown some flimsy decorations all over the place, and those that didn't fly away are covered with dried mud.
At that moment, several disciples of Changfeng Valley, dressed in bright green robes, were lying on the giant rock at the entrance of the valley, which was dozens of meters high, slowly using their magic to clean away the filth on it, so that the three powerful characters of Changfeng Valley could shine again.
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. Before Li Jinchu's flying magical artifact even landed, some sharp-eyed disciples had already spotted the Li clan totem carved on it and sent a communication talisman to the main hall inside.
Therefore, by the time the two of them stepped out of the flying artifact, Ling Yihan had already arrived at the mountain gate on his sword.
"Chief Li, Chief Jimo." She landed lightly on her sword. "Is there something important that requires you to come all this way?"
“We’ve come to borrow someone,” Li Jinchu said.
Ling Yihan was taken aback by his overly blunt words and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
What's going on? This person wasn't like this when she dealt with Li Jinchu before.
He never speaks directly; he always beats around the bush, making the other person guess what he means.
He went through a whole series of tricks to get everyone involved, and by the time they realized what was happening, they were still being schemed against while saying thank you.
The straightforward Li Jinchu before me...
Ling Yihan wasn't used to it, but to be honest, she hoped to come more often.
