Chapter 773: Chapter 563: The Reunion of the Two Southern Hong Sect Masters

"He is at Ban Shan Sect."

The cold woman dressed in white slowly retracted the Dao Plate and looked behind her, "I will send you there first."

Including Lin You, the six Daozi from Southern Hong gathered together, accompanied by Daozi Luo Changchun from Yunhe Sect, along with several elders from White Jade Capital.

Ji Jingxi slightly waved her sleeve and vanished on the spot with the group.

When they reappeared, a majestic Heavenly Pillar stood before them.

She lifted her eyes, a hint of curiosity emerging in them.

This time, splitting into two teams to seek assistance, Ji Jingxi of course knew how hard the Daozi worked, there was absolutely no hint of slacking, but the situations encountered by each team differed too greatly.

Compared to Zhong Xiu and Dai Jianshu, who got nothing but setbacks everywhere they went and nearly fell into an ambush of Western Dragon Palace, only managing to secure a Unity Realm Stage cultivator’s help through Lin You’s efforts.

The situation seemed too smooth on Wei Yuanzhou’s side, with Ban Shan Sect agreeing to provide full support without setting any conditions or asking about the specific situation of the Seven Sons of Hong.

Even for Ji Jingxi, who was of a calm temperament, it felt somewhat surreal.

It so happened that Sect Master Shen was also at Ban Shan Sect, it was a good opportunity to visit.

With this thought, she released her aura, slightly bowed, and was just about to be polite when the Heavenly Pillar shone with a flash of golden light, and a dignified middle-aged man stepped forward, performing a grand bow with great respect.

"Ban Shan Sect Daozi Yan Chongzhang, greets Elder Ji."

Having said that, Yan Chongzhang earnestly added, "My master was previously busy, it was not an intentional neglect of Elder Ji. He will be here shortly."

"..."

Seeing his respectful demeanor, Bai Wu rubbed her brows, recalling the slight misunderstanding when they first arrived, and couldn’t help but smile helplessly.

Indeed, all this talk of South Hong and West Hong is irrelevant; in this region of Hongze, what matters is real strength.

In front of the real Sect Master of the Seven Sons of Hong, there’s no need to prove anything, and nobody would mention the term "Southern Barbarian."

"No need for such courtesies, I was also looking forward to thanking Sect Master Huang personally."

Ji Jingxi slightly nodded and then followed Yan Chongzhang into the sacred grounds of Ban Shan.

"These warriors were not like this before; it’s all because of your Sect Master Ji’s significant face," Luo Changchun whispered to Lin You with a smile in the crowd. Yunhe Sect, also being part of the Western Hong forces but less powerful than Ban Shan Sect, had a deeper understanding of these people.

Lin You had yet to reply, when Su Hongxiu gave a brief glance his way.

She did not quite agree with that statement.

Perhaps Sect Master Ji could command the highest courtesy from Ban Shan Sect, but what really persuaded these warriors to leave West Hong and assist South Hong was the personal value of Sect Master Shen, which caught the attention of Ban Shan Sect.

Having face might not necessarily bring real benefits.

"By the way, who did you come to pick up, let me guess, isn’t it the last Daozi... from Nanyang Sect?" Luo Changchun was somewhat excited to have this opportunity to leave West Hong for the first time.

"You guessed half right," Lin You retracted her gaze and looked forward to the grand main hall.

They had parted hurriedly last time; she hadn’t even had a chance to greet Sect Master Shen... she doubted Sect Master Shen would recognize her, but she had many things she wanted to ask him.

Ji Jingxi glanced sideways at the Ban Shan Sect elders standing respectfully on both sides. Such a display was reasonable, but for some reason, besides respect, she felt a hint of relief on their faces, as if they had survived a disaster.

This was strange; if Ban Shan Sect had its own troubles, how could they possibly spare the effort to help South Hong?

Could it be these youngsters misunderstood something... or was Ban Shan Sect harboring other intentions?

"Elder Ji, please," Yan Chongzhang gestured towards the main hall: "Elder Shen is waiting for you inside."

As soon as he said this, Ji Jingxi was slightly startled, and the other Daozi looked at each other.

If everything that had happened so far could be explained by the status of Sect Master of Pure Moon, then what was this "Elder Shen" all about?

"Why are you looking at me..." Wei Yuanzhou’s lips twitched. He had not disclosed Shen Yi’s identity, and from his understanding of Sect Master Shen, the man wasn’t likely to flaunt his sect master status for no reason.

Moreover,

going by their initial visit to Ban Shan Sect, these people did not care about any status; otherwise, they would not have sent several elders to provoke his Daozi.

Ji Jingxi collected her thoughts and stepped into the grand hall.

Upon seeing the situation inside, doubts finally appeared in her eyes.

In the empty grand hall, only one person was seated, and that seat was the main one.

The person was still clad in a dark robe; if not Shen Yi, then who?

Next to Shen Yi, an old man with some cultivation, his aura weak and likely still bearing severe injuries, was all smiles, offering warm greetings, helping with the tea, nodding and bowing, a complete lackey.

Meanwhile, Shen Yi’s eyes were lowered, massaging his temples with a somewhat pained expression.

"That is the Great Elder of Ban Shan Sect," Wei Yuanzhou, equally stunned, still managed to introduce him to Sect Master Ji.

"..."

Ji Jingxi stood silently, pondering why this scene looked more like visiting the Sect Master of Ban Shan than seeing her own Sect Master of Nanyang. If not for being told, based on the situation, she might have thought she was visiting the Sect Master of Ban Shan.

What exactly had happened here since they last parted?
