"Everyone, please remain calm, there is actually a reason for this!"
Immortal Mo truly deserves the title of the most quick-witted person, as he immediately came up with an explanation.
"What reason?"
"No matter what, it's impossible for the other party to give us Tier Eight Immortal Artifacts, right?"
"Why is it impossible?"
Mo Chen chuckled: "The Azure Dragon Race wants to collaborate with us because they value our strength, so these Immortal Artifacts are a gesture of sincerity in this partnership."
"Cooperate?"
Everyone was confused.
"What kind of cooperation?"
"I remember we have no dealings with the Azure Dragon Race."
"Here's the thing, that Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon from the Azure Dragon Race..."
Mo Chen began to ramble, retelling the fabricated reason he had come up with earlier.
It made everyone listening click their tongues in amazement.
Ji Linghan also found it incredibly unbelievable.
"Are you saying that the new Azure Dragon Emperor has a very favorable view of us?"
Mo Chen nodded and continued to persuade: "That's right, I feel that this cooperation is very worthwhile. After all, our treatment in the Golden Dragon Valley isn't too good."
"The Azure Dragon side is inviting us into the valley with an equal ally relationship. The conditions there are countless times better than here!"
Ji Linghan glanced at him, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"As you said, the Azure Dragon Race has split with the Cyan Dragon Race. The waters are too deep here; we shouldn't get involved."
As the Senior Sister, she wasn't dimwitted, and the fact that she managed to keep everyone together so far was testament to her capabilities.
It was just that with Brother Cheng around in the past, it wasn't apparent.
Mo Chen, Shan Tai, and Wei Miao had headaches.
They thought if she knew who the Azure Dragon Emperor was, she'd be more eager to go than they were.
"Our disciples in the Middle Immortal Realm are already over there, we can't not go."
"The disciples from the Middle Immortal Realm?"
Shan Tai nodded: "Yes, all 140,000 of them have risen."
"What?"
Everyone exclaimed, and Ji Linghan was both shocked and delighted.
The sect was something she established herself, having not visited for years, it held a special spot in her heart.
Even though Yuan Zhen, Yuan Sheng, and others were generations apart and she had never met them, they were still of the same sect.
The same went for everyone else.
Having been isolated in the Demon Realm for so many years, upon hearing that many of their own had arrived, they were all thrilled.
But after the brief excitement, more questions arose.
"How did they ascend?"
"With 140,000 disciples, even if enough Immortal Fate Orders were bought, wouldn't they be vulnerable along the way?"
Mo Chen had to continue fabricating: "We should really thank that Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon!"
"Huh? Thank him?"
"Exactly, this Azure Dragon Emperor encountered Xiao Kun and Ji Yun in the Middle Immortal Realm and naturally met the Feixian Sect, forming a bond."
"His strength is incredibly formidable, invincible in the Middle Immortal Realm, so he protected everyone from our Feixian Sect while they ascended."
This...
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Was it possible for someone like the Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon to be so kind-hearted, a moral paragon of the Immortal Realm?
Ji Linghan couldn't help but shake her head: "Our disciples' realms should be quite low, right? With the Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon being so strong, why would he value them? Why help them so much?"
"Isn't it because he heard that many Immortal Kings have ascended from Feixian Sect historically, so he's giving a favor, hoping that after coming to the Upper Immortal Realm, we can form an alliance."
Everyone suddenly understood.
"So that's how it is..."
Now that they thought about it, it did seem somewhat reasonable.
No one could have expected that the Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon, renowned throughout the Demon Realm, had such a deep 'connection' with the Feixian Sect.
Mo Chen secretly wiped his sweat, making up lies was really not easy.
There was no other way; Brother Cheng could think up things on the spot, and left too many loopholes by making himself absent.
Probably, only Immortal Mo could manage to patch things up like this.
He pressed on, saying: "Even for providing a better cultivation environment for our junior disciples, this alliance is a must."
"140,000 people, we can't just let them all be exposed outside the Golden Dragon Valley."
"After all, outside, the Demon Race is diverse and wild, and it isn't safe."
Ji Linghan and the others couldn't help but nod.
The Three Great Dragon Valleys were natural treasures formed at the dawn of the Immortal Realm; their environment was incomparable to the outside world.
"The alliance is worth considering."
She glanced once more at the overly shiny Immortal Artifacts and Immortal Treasures on the three of them, suspiciously: "But we've done nothing, yet they've given us territory, flown people up, and gifted so many treasures, isn't that a little too good to be true?"
Mo Chen dryly explained: "That's because the three of us brought gifts and congratulations, serving as emissaries."
"So in a good mood, he decided to provide some benefits."
"Just because of that?"
"You three just made a trip, didn't accomplish any big achievements, right?"
Others were once again feeling unbalanced.
"Isn't that annoying?"
"If I had known, I would have volunteered to go!"
"That's purely dumb luck, I'm not convinced!"
Having been poor for so many years, the allure of Tier Eight Immortal Artifacts was simply too great for them.
"Since the alliance is ours, I think these Immortal Artifacts should belong to everyone. I suggest we take turns wearing them!"
"Exactly, taking turns!"
Mo Chen was alright; after all, he had once taught all of those present, so there was a bit of respect for him.
Shan Tai and Wei Miao weren't so fortunate.
Seeing the Immortal Armor they had just donned about to be removed, they panicked.
They promptly shifted the blame elsewhere.
"It's not just us; Senior Sister Ji has some too!"
"Yes, if you have the guts, go take hers too!"
"I also have?"
Ji Linghan was stunned; she hadn't even met the 'Nine Patterns Cyan Dragon' but had already received treasures?
Mo Chen nodded.
"You are the Sect Leader of our Feixian Sect, so as the leader, the other party is naturally giving a gesture."
Subsequently, Ji Linghan saw three treasures floating before her.
A piece of Tier Eight Immortal Armor, a Top-Grade Immortal Treasure, and a Ninth-grade Immortal Sword!
The first two were already notable, but the last one caused a complete uproar among everyone.
"Wow, wow, is that a Ninth-grade Immortal Sword?"
"Am I seeing this right?"
"A Divine Weapon said to be worthy only of the Immortal Emperor!"
"How could this be? The Azure Dragon Race is being overly generous!"
"This is too unbelievable..."
"How can they have so many treasures?"
"The Azure Dragon Race has existed for many years; maybe they seized them from the Immortal and Demon Realms in the past?"
No matter how much Ji Linghan tried to maintain her composure, her excitement could not be concealed.
That was a Tier Nine Immortal Sword!
Prior, she had only used a Tier Seven one.
In battles against a Quasi-Emperor, she hardly ever had the upper hand, mainly because the equipment gap was too large.
If she wielded this Tier Nine Immortal Sword, donning the Immortal Armor with that Top-Grade Immortal Treasure, she would gain an advantage in this aspect.
Few at the Quasi-Emperor level would be able to overpower her.
Even the likes of Cang Ji and Cangqiong, those high-ranking members of the Dragon Race, wouldn't be beyond her reach to contend with.
Ultimately, under everyone's envious and fervent gazes, she accepted the sword into her hand.
