Perhaps because of Luo Qingci and Ruan Li's joint effort to repel Mo Yan's siege, this time they were unexpectedly cooperative.
Nangong Jue and He Guang, along with the Dragon Slaying Divine Wood, had not left and had been waiting for Luo Qingci to recover from her injuries.
During this preparation period, Luo Qingci visited the disciples of the Tianyan Sect. The last time she left a deep impression on them, and this time, she once again demonstrated awe-inspiring strength and responsibility, completely overturning the former image of Huaizhu Xianjun.
Previously, they had been more fearful than respectful of Luo Qingci, but now their respect outweighed their fear.
Looking at the group of young disciples before her, Luo Qingci nodded slightly, "Your sect is in trouble, but you still consider yourselves disciples of the Tianyan Sect and are willing to step up at this critical moment alongside your Senior Sister Su. This is very good. As long as you are here, the sect will not be destroyed, so do not pity yourselves."
"Yes, we will remember Huaizhu Xianjun's words."
One of the disciples spoke up, "With Senior Sister Su leading us, we still feel as though we are in the Tianyan Sect, not completely lost. Now that Huaizhu Xianjun has returned, we have even more hope. However, we are very worried about the whereabouts of our master and many senior brothers and sisters."
The last sentence voiced the concern of many.
Luo Qingci furrowed her brows and nodded, "I understand. The sect leader and Zitan have not returned, which is also a concern for me. But rest assured, they should be fine for now. I will go to Chaisang again to look for them."
"Thank you, Huaizhu Xianjun!"
"They are my senior brothers and sisters, and it is my responsibility. You should rest well. The matter with Fufeng is only temporarily resolved; there might be another fierce battle ahead."
Jiang Yuebai and the others were a significant force for the Celestial Sect, and it was both reasonable and necessary to find them.
However, Chaisang was now the Dragon Clan's territory. Since Mo Yan had returned in defeat, he would not give up easily. Entering Chaisang rashly might lead to further conflict.
Currently, she and Ruan Li were not strong enough to confront Mo Yan, so she needed to buy time for Ruan Li to grow stronger.
Upon returning, she found Ruan Li and explained the issues they faced.
Ruan Li glanced at Su Yu and thought for a moment before responding, "Master, I will handle this. Yun Xian and the others are still in Fufeng City. Although the Celestial Sect's hostility towards them has lessened, they still feel uncomfortable staying here. I planned to send them to Chaisang anyway; perhaps they can try to find Zitan and the others."
Luo Qingci's eyes brightened, then she remembered something and reminded, "They should avoid returning to the Dragon Clan and try to make contact with the local dragons instead. Also, Ah Li, maybe you can let the dragons know some news, such as your identity and Mo Yan's demonic transformation."
"Understood. I believe the Celestial Sect is no longer a major obstacle, but the key lies with the Dragon Clan. It's crucial to make Mo Yan lose his influence within the Dragon Clan," Ruan Li said. She knew that the current problem was with the Dragon Clan, and she needed to gain their trust as soon as possible.
Luo Qingci felt a pang of sadness. Although she was innocent, to the public, she was seen as a dragon slayer. Without her, Ruan Li's path would have been much smoother. But the situation was set, and she couldn't bring it up to make Ruan Li uncomfortable.
