Upon hearing this, Bai Qinying looked directly at Elder Cao.
She remained silent, letting him be the one to answer.
Seeing this, Patriarch Shen immediately added, "Please rest assured, Elders. The Shen Family will certainly not be short on the promised compensation."
Elder Cao did not answer immediately.
He was contemplating.
'He wasn't thinking about the disciples' compensation, but rather the fact that the Shen Family hadn't yet discovered that disciples from the Celestial Demon Sect were supporting the Stone Demon Sect.'
'Just because the Shen Family hadn't found out didn't mean the Celestial Demon Sect wasn't actually aiding the Stone Demon Sect.'
'Judging from the distribution of power within the sect's Earth Realm, the Shen Family is our bridgehead against the Celestial Demon Sect. It's best if they remain, rather than having their territory occupied by Demons.'
"We can offer defensive support," Elder Cao said.
