The latest chapter of "《" has been updated, come and catch up!
"Greetings, True Lord, Sect Leader!"
As soon as the three highest-ranking members of the Jade Light Pavilion appeared, all the Golden Core cultivators immediately stopped their reminiscing and bowed respectfully.
Leading the way was True Monarch Yuheng, dressed in the robes of a sect's Supreme Elder. His aura was fluctuating, and his face was exhausted, clearly indicating that the turmoil had caused him serious injuries.
The old man sat in the main seat, while Bai Yanzhenjun and the sect leader Bai Yuhuan sat in slightly less prominent positions.
He forced a smile and said softly, "Everyone has worked hard. Please take a seat."
Then he looked at Bai Yuhuan beside him, who nodded in understanding.
The sect leader still gave off the same friendly feeling as always, but perhaps because he had just withdrawn from the battle, the murderous aura surrounding him made Zhang Lingyu and the others feel a little breathless.
Bai Yuhuan looked around and, seeing that everyone had arrived, said loudly, "Everyone, in this turmoil in the cultivation world of the southeast, our three kingdoms of Zhao, Wu, and Yue could not escape unscathed. Fortunately, thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone, our sect has finally overcome this difficulty. Please accept my bow."
After saying this, he stood up and bowed to everyone, as did the two Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Sect Leader, you flatter us. It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path. If our sect did not stand in front of us, we, our disciples, and the entire land of Zhao would be ravaged by monsters and demonic cultivators."
No one dared to be negligent and returned the greetings. Xuan Shui Zhenren, who was seated slightly forward, said:
"If anyone is most deserving of the bow from the True Lord and the Sect Leader, it is the countless cultivators who perished while resisting the invasion of demonic beasts and evil forces. Without them, how could we have achieved our victory today?"
"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Xuan Shui is right." The Golden Core cultivators also nodded in agreement.
Bai Yuhuan nodded and said, "Junior Brother Xuanshui is right. This great battle was entirely due to the bravery of our fallen disciples, which created an opportunity for us."
"The sect will not forget their contributions, so please rest assured. Whether they are disciples of our sect or subordinates, we will return their belongings, such as storage bags, to their families as soon as possible. In addition, the sect will also provide certain compensation."
According to rough estimates, the Jade Light Pavilion lost no fewer than 1,500 Qi Refining cultivators, over 100 Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even seven Golden Core cultivators in this great battle.
Needless to say, the number of the vassal families and sects below them is even greater.
Storage bags and such are fine, since the items originally belonged to the owner.
The key is compensation...
The contribution points earned by the cultivators in the great war were exchanged for items jointly borne by the six sects, but each sect was responsible for its own relief efforts.
Even though Jade Light Pavilion is a long-established Nascent Soul sect, it would be a huge financial burden for them to offer so many things as compensation all at once.
really.
When the topic of compensation came up, Bai Yuhuan's face showed some worry, and after a long pause, she said softly:
"Everyone, too many cultivators have perished in this great battle. Although our sects can provide more at once, as you all know... we paid a heavy price to be able to enlist those two to deal with the Heavenly Demon Lord."
Zhang Lingyu was not surprised by this situation.
Asking for a Nascent Soul half-step Great Perfection cultivator and a Nascent Soul late stage cultivator at once would indeed cause a Nascent Soul sect to suffer a huge loss.
However, this so-called cost is not borne by the six kingdoms of Zhao alone; it must include the kingdoms of Wu and Yue.
With the burden shared by eleven Nascent Soul factions, the cost falling on Jade Light Pavilion would be much smaller.
Furthermore, this great chaos resulted in the complete annihilation of many powerful families and sects, making it impossible for those storage bags to find the original owners' relatives. Even if they did, they were just ordinary people.
Under these circumstances, the territory, relics, and many other valuable items were naturally taken over by the Jade Light Pavilion.
In this way, the pressure of compensation will be greatly reduced.
Not only Zhang Lingyu, but also the Golden Core cultivators from the other vassal families and sects present showed some unusual expressions.
They're all old foxes; how could they not see what Bai Yuhuan meant?
Compensation will definitely be provided, but the timing may be delayed, or the amount may be smaller.
But Jade Light Pavilion, as an old Nascent Soul sect, has been cultivating in the Zhao Kingdom for thousands of years and collects a considerable amount of spirit stones every year. How could it not even be able to provide compensation all at once?
Bai Yuhuan, who was seated at the head of the table, saw the expressions on everyone's faces, smiled, and explained:
"Rest assured, everyone, each sect will receive its full compensation. However, because a large amount of spirit stones are needed in other areas, the compensation will be distributed in batches."
He paused, then continued, "As you all know, the passes of Yunyin Valley, Lingyue Mountain, and Qinglin Mountain, which border the Wanling Mountains, have all been breached, and we have suffered heavy losses."
"Especially Qinglin Mountain, where the demonic cultivators detonated the great formation, not only leveling the mountain but also destroying the underground spiritual veins, turning it into a place devoid of spiritual energy. If it is not repaired in a day, our door will be wide open, and the demon race may gather its forces from here to march south, which will be another catastrophe."
"Therefore, the most urgent task is to sort out the spiritual veins and rebuild the great formation. You should all know how much spirit stone will be spent on this, and I hope you will understand."
With this seemingly righteous reason, many Golden Core cultivators looked somewhat better.
"Sect Leader, rest assured, we are not ungrateful people!"
Master Xuanhao was the first to respond.
Zhang Lingyu and the others echoed this sentiment.
They could still tell which was more important and which was less important.
Besides, since the sect said they would give it to us, they shouldn't renege on their promise.
"Thank you all for your understanding. Now I will announce the first batch of beneficiaries." Bai Yuhuan took out a jade slip from his sleeve and began to read it aloud.
"The Chen family of Xuanwu County".
"The Shen family of Yongzhou Prefecture".
"The Zhang family of Yingchuan Commandery and other prominent families in the commandery."
Zhang Lingyu seemed somewhat surprised when he heard that Yingchuan County was also on the list.
On second thought, it makes sense.
There's no other reason than that Yingchuan County is small in area and has few cultivators. Although there are a few Foundation Establishment families, they are basically still Qi Refining families.
The real power lies with the Zhang family.
Even so, the number of cultivators who perished in the chaos in one prefecture was nothing compared to those in other prefectures, and was just a drop in the ocean for the Jade Light Pavilion, so naturally they were included in the first batch of names.
"Good, with the compensation in hand, the family should recover quickly."
In addition to the compensation from the Jade Light Pavilion, the family will also allocate a considerable amount of spirit stones to compensate the relatives of the fallen clansmen, so that the family can recover its strength as soon as possible.
After discussing the first batch of beneficiaries, Bai Yuhuan moved on to other matters.
At present, the entire Zhao Kingdom is in dire need of reconstruction. The first priority is to repair the passes. Golden Core cultivators are needed to supervise and guard these passes to prevent the Demon King from suddenly emerging from the Wanling Mountains to cause trouble.
Secondly, an ascension ceremony was held.
With so many cultivators falling, even Nascent Soul sects can't withstand it, so they urgently need to recruit more disciples to replenish their ranks with fresh blood.
At the same time, he ordered Zhang Lingyu and other actual controllers of the family to vigorously restore the mortal population.
The higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the more difficult it is for them to have offspring. Therefore, most spiritual offspring come from mortals and are considered the foundation of a cultivator's lineage.
After discussing many matters, the meeting reached its final stage when Bai Yuhuan suddenly stood up with a serious expression. Everyone immediately realized that something important was about to happen.
The sect leader said in a deep voice, "Everyone, on behalf of the sect, I would like to announce two important matters."
