虽然论亲厚程度，远远无法与拜轩阁相比，但林轩想来的恩怨分明的人物，过河拆桥的事情他可做不出。
Although the bond of kinship between Lin Xuan and Baixuan Pavilion was far stronger, he knew that he couldn't abandon these people in their time of need. In other words, no matter what, he would not stand idly by as they crossed the river and broke the bridge.
huàn jù huà shuō ” tiān yá hǎi gé ， zì jǐ wú lùn rú hé ， yě bù kě néng xiù shǒu páng gù 。
换句话说”天涯海阁，自己无论如何，也不可能袖手旁顾。
In short, Lin Xuan could not remain indifferent to the plight of both the Tianya Hai Pavilion and the Songfeng Academy. The latter had a somewhat shallow connection with him, but it was still part of the human race. Moreover, back on Penglai Mountain, they had once joined forces against ancient demons in the Wating Tower. For this reason alone, Lin Xuan could not bear to watch as the Songfeng Academy suffered.
zhì yú sōng fēng shū yuàn ” yǔ zì jǐ de yuān yuán dǎo shì qiǎn le bù duō ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， zǒng shì rén zú yī mài ” hé kuàng dāng chū zài péng lái shān ， wàng tíng lóu céng yǔ zì jǐ lián shǒu ， yī tóng duì kàng gǔ mó ” jiù chōng zhè diǎn yuān yuán ， lín xuān yě bù hǎo yì sī zhàn zài yī páng ， kàn sōng fēng shū yuàn de xiào huà le 。
至于松风书院”与自己的渊源倒是浅了不多，但不管如何，总是人族一脉”何况当初在蓬莱山，望亭楼曾与自己联手，一同对抗古魔”就冲这点渊源，林轩也不好意思站在一旁，看松风书院的笑话了。
For both personal and professional reasons, he needed to resolve the situation. Therefore, he would not waste any more time rescuing others while his own people were in danger. Although his遁光 was incredibly fast, the distance between the two factions was considerable.
yú gōng yú sī ， zhè liǎng pài zhī wéi dōu fēi jiě bù kě ， ér jiù rén yú jiù huǒ ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì zài zhè lǐ duō zuò dān gē ， bì jìng tā dùn guāng de sù dù suī rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn liǎng pài de lù chéng ” dōu shì pǒ wèi yuǎn de 。
于公于私，这两派之围都非解不可，而救人于救火，林轩自然不会在这里多做耽搁，毕竟他遁光的速度虽然非同小可，但两派的路程”都是颇为远的。
With that thought, Lin Xuan waved his hand. "Alright, you don't need to say anything else. I understand what both of you mean. Rest assured, I won't stand by and watch. How is the situation at Tianya Hai Pavilion? Is Senior Taoist Liu Ying still in charge?"
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān bǎi le bǎi shǒu ：“ xíng le ， nǐ men bù yòng duō shuō ， liǎng wèi de yì si ， wǒ dōu xiǎo de ， fàng xīn ， lín mǒu bú huì xiù shǒu ， rú jīn tiān yá hǎi gé qíng kuàng rú hé ， tài shàng zhǎng lǎo shì liú yíng me ？”
想到这里，林轩摆了摆手：“行了，你们不用多说，两位的意思，我都晓得，放心，林某不会袖手，如今天涯海阁情况如何，太上长老是刘莹么？”
The woman dressed in a palace-style robe looked surprised. "Senior actually knows Master Liu! Could it be that you are one of our cultivation practitioners from Yunzhou?"
nà gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ tīng le ， liǎn shàng lù chū jīng è zhī sè ：“ qián bèi jū rán zhī dào liú shī shū ” mò fēi nín zhēn shì wǒ men yún zhōu de xiū xiān zhě ？”
那宫装女子听了，脸上露出惊愕之色：“前辈居然知道刘师叔”莫非您真是我们云州的修仙者？”
"Is it just Yunzhou? Look, what do you see here?" Lin Xuan said as he extended his hand and tapped his waist, revealing a palm-sized token that was smooth like jade with some small篆 inscribed on it.
“ qǐ zhǐ shì yún zhōu ér yǐ ， nǐ kàn zhè shì hé wù ？”
“岂止是云州而已，你看这是何物？”
"Tianya Hai Pavilion!"
lín xuān yī biān shuō ， yī biān shēn chū shǒu lái ” zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yī kuài bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de lìng pái fēi lüè chū lái ” wēn rùn rú yù ” shàng miàn kè zhe jǐ gè xiǎo zhuàn 。
林轩一边说，一边伸出手来”在腰间一拍，一块巴掌大小的令牌飞掠出来”温润如玉”上面刻着几个小篆。
The woman read the name softly. Then her face showed an incredulous joy, and she even stammered: "You are… you are…"
“ tiān yá hǎi gé ！”
“天涯海阁！”
It wasn't surprising for this woman to be shocked; after all, this token was a command from their senior Taoist, how could it possibly be someone else?
nà gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ qīng qīng de niàn chū ， suí hòu liǎn shàng lù chū bù néng zhì xìn de kuáng xǐ zhī sè ， lián shēng yīn dōu yǒu diǎn jiē ba le ：“ nín ， nín shì ，…”
那宫装女子轻轻的念出，随后脸上露出不能置信的狂喜之色，连声音都有点结巴了：“您，您是，…”
"It's only been four hundred years or so. Don't you know the relationship between Baixuan Pavilion and Tianya Hai Pavilion?" Lin Xuan sighed, his tone carrying a hint of reproach.
yě nán guài cǐ nǚ jīng è ， zhè míng míng shì běn mén tài shàng zhǎng lǎo de lìng fú ， zěn me kě néng ne ？
也难怪此女惊愕，这明明是本门太上长老的令符，怎么可能呢？
"You… You are Senior Lin! No, Senior Lin Ancestor."
“ cái sì bǎi duō nián ér yǐ ， nán dào nǐ bù xiǎo de bài xuān gé yǔ tiān yá hǎi gé jiān de guān xì ？” lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， shēng yīn yě lüè dài shàng le jǐ fēn jiàn zé zhī yì 。
“才四百多年而已，难道你不晓得拜轩阁与天涯海阁间的关系？”林轩叹了口气，声音也略带上了几分见责之意。
The woman was taken aback at first but then suddenly remembered as Lin Xuan had said. He had only ascended to the Spirit Realm a few hundred years ago; how could high-ranking cultivators in Tianya Hai Pavilion possibly forget him? It was just that he couldn't recall it immediately.
“ nín …… nín shì lín shī shū ， bù ” lín shī zǔ 。”
“您……您是林师叔，不”林师祖。”
"Disciple pays respects to Senior Ancestor. I did not know your identity earlier, so please forgive my rudeness."
nà gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ xiān shì yī è ， suí hòu měng rán xiǎng qǐ lái le zhèng rú lín xuān suǒ shuō ， tā fēi shēng líng jiè bù guò shù bǎi nián ér yǐ tiān yá hǎi gé de gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě men ， yòu zěn me kě néng jiāng tā wàng jì ， zhǐ shì yī shí méi yǒu xiǎng qǐ 。
那宫装女子先是一愕，随后猛然想起来了正如林轩所说，他飞升灵界不过数百年而已天涯海阁的高阶修仙者们，又怎么可能将他忘记，只是一时没有想起。
Wang Fairy was overjoyed and tears welled up as she spoke. Since the senior Taoist was from their own sect, there was no way they would ignore the crisis at Tianya Hai Pavilion. As long as Penglai Island had not been breached, this rescue mission was still possible.
“ dì zǐ bài jiàn shī zǔ ， xiān qián bù zhī dào shī zǔ shēn fèn ” duō yǒu shī lǐ hái qǐng shī zǔ bú yào jiè yì 。”
“弟子拜见师祖，先前不知道师祖身份”多有失礼还请师祖不要介意。”
"Alright, those who do not know are not to be blamed." Lin Xuan then turned to the scholar-clad cultivator and said: "Rest assured, I have some connection with Wating Tower in Tianya Hai Pavilion. For your sect's situation, I will not abandon you."
nà wāng xiān zi shì xǐ jí ér qì ， duì fāng jì rán shì běn mén de tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， dāng rán bù kě néng duì tiān yá hǎi gé de wēi jī shì ruò wú dǔ ， zhǐ yào yíng zhōu dǎo hái méi yǒu bèi gōng pò ， zhè cì shì yǒu jiù le 。
那汪仙子是喜极而泣，对方既然是本门的太上长老，当然不可能对天涯海阁的危机视若无睹，只要瀛洲岛还没有被攻破，这次是有救了。
"Thank you, Senior for such great kindness."
“ xíng le ， bù zhī zhě bù guài 。” lín xuān suí hòu yòu zhuǎn guò tóu ， kàn xiàng nà rú páo xiū xiān zhě ：“ fàng xīn ， lín mǒu yǔ guì mén de wàng tíng lóu yě yǒu nà me jǐ fēn jiāo qíng de ， duì yú guì pài de chǔ jìng ， bú huì qì zhī bù gù ， nǐ fàng xīn hǎo le 。”
“行了，不知者不怪。”林轩随后又转过头，看向那儒袍修仙者：“放心，林某与贵门的望亭楼也有那么几分交情的，对于贵派的处境，不会弃之不顾，你放心好了。”
The scholar-clad cultivator also hurriedly bowed deeply, his face filled with gratitude. However, he couldn't help but secretly laugh at himself. The saying "saving someone is like putting out a fire" meant that the current state of their sect was dire. Even if it hadn't been breached yet, the situation was already precarious.
“ duō xiè qián bèi dà ēn dà dé 。”
“多谢前辈大恩大德。”
Would they be able to arrive in time after saving Tianya Hai Pavilion and then reaching the main headquarters? He wasn't sure himself; after all, there were countless mountains and rivers between them.
nà rú páo xiū shì yě lián máng dà lǐ cān bài le ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì gǎn jī zhī sè ， rán ér xīn zhōng què kǔ xiào bù yǐ ” suǒ wèi jiù rén rú jiù huǒ ， bù zhī dào rú jīn běn mén de qíng kuàng zěn me yàng le xiǎng bì jiù suàn méi yǒu bèi gōng pò ， xíng shì yě shì jí jí kě wēi le 。
那儒袍修士也连忙大礼参拜了，脸上满是感激之色，然而心中却苦笑不已”所谓救人如救火，不知道如今本门的情况怎么样了想必就算没有被攻破，形势也是岌岌可危了。
But what could he do? The fact that someone else was willing to lend a hand was already a great favor. Moreover, this senior had significant connections with both Baixuan Pavilion and Tianya Hai Pavilion. How could it be possible for him to save his sect first?
duì fāng xiān jiù tiān yá hǎi gé ” zài gǎn dào běn mén zǒng duò ， zhēn de lái de jí me ？
对方先救天涯海阁”再赶到本门总舵，真的来得及么？
Such hopes were useless, so he decided not to speak about it.
píng xīn lái shuō ” tā méi yǒu shén me bǎ wò ， bì jìng zhōng jiān xiāng gé le qiān shān wàn shuǐ lái zhe 。
平心来说”他没有什么把握，毕竟中间相隔了千山万水来着。
However, Lin Xuan was an extremely intelligent person; he immediately understood the scholar's thoughts: "Rest assured, saving someone is like putting out a fire. I said that I would help both factions, and I will ensure that no faction is left behind."
kě tā yòu néng zěn me ” duì fāng yuàn yì yuán shǒu yǐ shì mò dà de ēn dé hé kuàng zhè wèi qián bèi chú le yǔ bài xuān gé ， tóng tiān yá hǎi gé ， tóng yàng yǒu mò dà de yuān yuán lái zhe ， yòu zěn me kě néng xiān chū shǒu xiàng jiù běn mén ne ？
可他又能怎么”对方愿意援手已是莫大的恩德何况这位前辈除了与拜轩阁，同天涯海阁，同样有莫大的渊源来着，又怎么可能先出手相救本门呢？
"Helping both at once?"
zhè zhǒng shē wàng tí le yě méi yǒu yòng chǔ ” suǒ yǐ tā gān cuì bì kǒu bù yán le 。
这种奢望提了也没有用处”所以他干脆闭口不言了。
The scholar-clad cultivator was taken aback. Was it possible that there were other helpers?
rán ér lín xuān shì hé děng cōng míng de rén wù duì fāng de xīn shì ， yī yǎn jiù kàn chū lái le ：“ fàng xīn ， jiù rén rú jiù huǒ lín mǒu jì rán shuō le ， yào wèi liǎng pài jiě chú wēi jī jiù bú huì jiāng rèn hé yī pài ， gěi là xià lái ， huì tóng shí yuán shǒu 。”
然而林轩是何等聪明的人物对方的心事，一眼就看出来了：“放心，救人如救火林某既然说了，要为两派解除危机就不会将任何一派，给落下来，会同时援手。”
Despite his shock, he was also overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude.
“ tóng shí yuán shǒu ？”
“同时援手？”
Since the decision to aid them had been made, Lin Xuan would not delay any further. However, for Baixuan Pavilion, he wouldn't make any arrangements either. After all, ancient demons were cunning; even though they had suffered a crushing defeat here, it was uncertain whether they would launch a counterattack.
nà rú páo xiū shì yī è ， nán dào shuō ” duì fāng hái yǒu bāng shǒu ？
那儒袍修士一愕，难道说”对方还有帮手？
If Baixuan Pavilion fell at that time, he would be in deep trouble. Therefore, Lin Xuan needed to prepare for such an eventuality.
suī dà gǎn chà yì ， dàn yě dà xǐ bù yǐ ， máng lián lián biǎo shì gǎn jī 。
虽大感诧异，但也大喜不已，忙连连表示感激。
In fact, this problem would be very difficult for other cultivators to solve, but in Lin Xuan's eyes, it was nothing significant.
jì rán qiāo dìng le yào qián wǎng yuán zhù ， lín xuān dāng rán bú huì dān gē ， bù guò duì yú bài xuān gé ” tā yě bú huì sī háo ān pái yě wú ， yào zhī dào ， gǔ mó shì fēi cháng jiǎo zhà de ， bié kàn tā men bài dé yī tā hú tú ” rú guǒ lí kāi cǐ chù ， nán bǎo bú huì shā yí gè huí mǎ qiāng lái zhe 。
既然敲定了要前往援助，林轩当然不会耽搁，不过对于拜轩阁”他也不会丝毫安排也无，要知道，古魔是非常狡诈的，别看他们败得一塌糊涂”如果离开此处，难保不会杀一个回马枪来着。
The treasures obtained from the煞阳 old demon could now be put to use.
rú guǒ dào shí hòu bài xuān gé bèi pò ， zì jǐ kě jiù kū dōu zhǎo bú dào dì zé wú xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān dāng rán yào fáng shàng yī shǒu 。
如果到时候拜轩阁被破，自己可就哭都找不到地责芜心中如此想着，林轩当然要防上一手。
Lin Xuan extended his hand and tapped his waist. The light flashed wildly, and four storage bags appeared before him.
hǎo zài zhè zhǒng wèn tí ” duì qí tā xiū xiān kàn lái shuō ， jiě jué qǐ lái huì yǒu hěn dà de nán dù ， dàn zài lín xuān kàn lái ， què gēn běn jiù suàn bù liǎo shén me 。
好在这种问题”对其他修仙看来说，解决起来会有很大的难度，但在林轩看来，却根本就算不了什么。
He grabbed one of them, shook it gently with the bag opening facing down, and a white light enveloped it as over a hundred different puppet figures emerged.
cóng shā yáng lǎo mó nà lǐ hū yōu lái de bǎo wù ， kě yǐ pài shàng yòng chǎng le 。
从煞阳老魔那里忽悠来的宝物，可以派上用场了。
"What are these…", the other cultivators present were all in shock when they saw the puppets.
lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ” zhǐ jiàn líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， sì gè chǔ wù dài jiù fú xiàn zài le yǎn qián 。
林轩伸出手来，在腰间一拍”只见灵光狂闪，四个储物袋就浮现在了眼前。
The saying "you may not have eaten pork, but you've seen pigs run" applied here. All the cultivators present were at least at the元婴 stage and had some experience.
lín xuān zhuā zhù qí zhōng yí gè ， dài kǒu cháo xià de qīng qīng yī dǒu ， bái sè de guāng xiá juǎn guò ， yì bǎi duō gè xíng tài gè yì de kuǐ lěi jiù chū xiàn zài yǎn pīn le 。
林轩抓住其中一个，袋口朝下的轻轻一抖，白色的光霞卷过，一百多个形态各异的傀儡就出现在眼拼了。
These puppets, although of different forms, their cultivation levels were extraordinary. Even the weakest one was equivalent to an early-stage元婴 cultivator, while others were even higher, with several reaching the合体 stage, and the most powerful puppet was a late-stage合体 cultivator.
“ zhè shì ……”，”， zài chǎng de xiū xiān zhě mù guāng zài nà xiē kuǐ lěi shàng sǎo guò ， wú bù shī shēng jīng hū 。
“这是……”，”，在场的修仙者目光在那些傀儡上扫过，无不失声惊呼。
All present, including Lu Ying'er and other Pavilion Masters, were stunned. The young master truly had experience in the Spirit Realm; considering the situation on Earth, even the Tianqiao Sect, which excelled at this art, could only produce one元婴后期 puppet after decades of effort, a feat that was already remarkable.
sú huà shuō ， méi chī guò zhū ròu ， zǒng jiàn guò zhū pǎo ， zài chǎng de xiū xiān zhě ， wú yī bú shì yuán yīng jí ， dāng rán duō shǎo shì yǒu jiàn shí dì 。
俗话说，没吃过猪肉，总见过猪跑，在场的修仙者，无一不是元婴级，当然多少是有见识地。
As for puppets at the合体 stage, they were simply inconceivable.
yǎn qián zhè xiē kuǐ lěi ， suī rán xíng tài gè yì ， dàn jìng jiè wú yī bú shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lián qí zhōng zuì chà de yě xiāng dāng yú yuán yīng chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， qí tā de jiù gèng bú yòng shuō ， shèn zhì hái yǒu shù míng lí hé ， xiū wèi zuì gāo de jū rán shì lí hé hòu qī de kuǐ lěi le 。
眼前这些傀儡，虽然形态各异，但境界无一不是非同小可，连其中最差的也相当于元婴初期的修仙者，其他的就更不用说，甚至还有数名离合，修为最高的居然是离合后期的傀儡了。
The young master was truly too powerful!
yī shí jiān ， bāo kuò lù yíng ér děng jǐ míng gé zhǔ ， zài chǎng de xiū shì quán dōu dāi zhù ， shào yé bù kuì Ｊ shì qù guò líng jiè de rén wù ， yào zhī dào jiù rén jiè de qíng kuàng lái shuō ， zuì shàn cháng cǐ dào de tiān qiǎo mén ， qióng shù shí nián zhī lì ， yě zuì duō liàn zhì chū yī jù yuán yīng hòu qī de kuǐ lěi ， nà jiù yǐ jīng fēi cháng de liǎo bù qǐ 。
一时间，包括陆盈儿等几名阁主，在场的修士全都呆住，少爷不愧Ｊ是去过灵界的人物，要知道就人界的情况来说，最擅长此道的天巧门，穷数十年之力，也最多炼制出一具元婴后期的傀儡，那就已经非常的了不起。
"With these puppets' assistance, even if the demon army returns, I believe Baixuan Pavilion will be fine. I'll first go to aid Songfeng Academy and Tianya Hai Pavilion, resolve their crises, and then return here," Lin Xuan said.
zhì yú lí hé jí bié de kuǐ lěi qì wù ” nà gēn běn jiù shì xiǎng dōu bù gǎn duō xiǎng de 。
至于离合级别的傀儡器物”那根本就是想都不敢多想的。
He felt relieved; he had only left half of the puppets with Biecao Sect in the East Sea, otherwise, it would have been more difficult now.
shào yé shí zài tài lì hài le ！
少爷实在太厉害了！
"Your servant understands. Thank you for your generous gift, Senior. Although your power is profound, ancient demons are fierce and cunning. You must be cautious on this mission," Lu Ying'er said gracefully.
“ yǒu zhè xiē kuǐ lěi xiāng zhù ， jiù suàn mó zú dà jūn juǎn tǔ chóng lái ， wǒ xiāng xìn bài xuān gé ， yě bú huì yǒu shì de ， wǒ xiān qù yuán zhù sōng fēng shū yuàn yǔ tiān yá hǎi gé ” jiě le liǎng pài zhī wéi zài huí cǐ chù 。” lín xuān rú cǐ zhè bān de shuō 。
“有这些傀儡相助，就算魔族大军卷土重来，我相信拜轩阁，也不会有事的，我先去援助松风书院与天涯海阁”解了两派之围再回此处。”林轩如此这般的说。
"Yes, Young Master, take good care of yourself."
xīn zhōng yě shì àn zì qìng xìng bù yǐ ， xìng hǎo zài dōng hǎi de shí hòu ， zhǐ jiāng yí bàn de kuǐ lěi liú gěi bǎi cǎo mén ” fǒu zé cǐ shí cǐ kè ， hái zhēn bú shì nà me hǎo bàn de 。
心中也是暗自庆幸不已，幸好在东海的时候，只将一半的傀儡留给百草门”否则此时此刻，还真不是那么好办的。
"Cloud, wish Senior Ancestor success in battle."
“ nú bì xiǎo de le ” duō xiè shào yé hòu cì ， nín suī rán gōng lì tōng xuán ， dàn gǔ mó xiōng è jiǎo zhà ， nín cǐ qù yě yí dìng yào duō jiā xiǎo xīn 。” lù yíng ér yíng yíng yī fú ， dī méi shùn mù dì kāi 。 le 。
“奴婢晓得了”多谢少爷厚赐，您虽然功力通玄，但古魔凶恶狡诈，您此去也一定要多加小心。”陆盈儿盈盈一拂，低眉顺目的开。了。
The other girls also gave him earnest advice, their eyes filled with reluctance as they had to part ways so soon after meeting.
“ shì a ， shào yé ， nín yí dìng yào hǎo hǎo bǎo zhòng 。”
“是啊，少爷，您一定要好好保重。”
But no one would hold them back; after all, they had been in charge of Baixuan Pavilion for a long time and understood the bigger picture. For both personal and professional reasons, the young master must take action; otherwise, Songfeng Academy and Tianya Hai Pavilion would surely not withstand the ancient demons' assault!
Although the bond of kinship between Lin Xuan and Baixuan Pavilion was far stronger, he knew that he couldn't abandon these people in their time of need. In other words, no matter what, he would not stand idly by as they crossed the river and broke the bridge.
In short, Lin Xuan could not remain indifferent to the plight of both the Tianya Hai Pavilion and the Songfeng Academy. The latter had a somewhat shallow connection with him, but it was still part of the human race. Moreover, back on Penglai Mountain, they had once joined forces against ancient demons in the Wating Tower. For this reason alone, Lin Xuan could not bear to watch as the Songfeng Academy suffered.
For both personal and professional reasons, he needed to resolve the situation. Therefore, he would not waste any more time rescuing others while his own people were in danger. Although his遁光 was incredibly fast, the distance between the two factions was considerable.
With that thought, Lin Xuan waved his hand. "Alright, you don't need to say anything else. I understand what both of you mean. Rest assured, I won't stand by and watch. How is the situation at Tianya Hai Pavilion? Is Senior Taoist Liu Ying still in charge?"
The woman dressed in a palace-style robe looked surprised. "Senior actually knows Master Liu! Could it be that you are one of our cultivation practitioners from Yunzhou?"
"Is it just Yunzhou? Look, what do you see here?" Lin Xuan said as he extended his hand and tapped his waist, revealing a palm-sized token that was smooth like jade with some small篆 inscribed on it.
"Tianya Hai Pavilion!"
The woman read the name softly. Then her face showed an incredulous joy, and she even stammered: "You are… you are…"
It wasn't surprising for this woman to be shocked; after all, this token was a command from their senior Taoist, how could it possibly be someone else?
"It's only been four hundred years or so. Don't you know the relationship between Baixuan Pavilion and Tianya Hai Pavilion?" Lin Xuan sighed, his tone carrying a hint of reproach.
"You… You are Senior Lin! No, Senior Lin Ancestor."
The woman was taken aback at first but then suddenly remembered as Lin Xuan had said. He had only ascended to the Spirit Realm a few hundred years ago; how could high-ranking cultivators in Tianya Hai Pavilion possibly forget him? It was just that he couldn't recall it immediately.

"Thank you, Senior for such great kindness."
The scholar-clad cultivator also hurriedly bowed deeply, his face filled with gratitude. However, he couldn't help but secretly laugh at himself.

He felt relieved; he had only left half of the puppets with Biecao Sect in the East Sea, otherwise, it would have been more difficult now.
"Your servant understands. Thank you for your generous gift, Senior. Although your power is profound, ancient demons are fierce and cunning. You must be cautious on this mission," Lu Ying'er said gracefully.
"Yes, Young Master, take good care of yourself."
"Cloud, wish Senior Ancestor success in battle."
The other girls also gave him earnest advice, their eyes filled with reluctance as they had to part ways so soon after meeting.
But no one would hold them back; after all, they had been in charge of Baixuan Pavilion for a long time and understood the bigger picture. For both personal and professional reasons, the young master must take action; otherwise, Songfeng Academy and Tianya Hai Pavilion would surely not withstand the ancient demons' assault!
