Under the present circumstances, the only place suitable for settling the common folk here was Chess Mountain Domain, which they had conquered not long ago.
At this point, Li Chen could not help feeling secretly thankful that he had not stubbornly clung to outdated rules and refused to attack others simply because he was a Puppet Master.
Land to live on and cultivation provisions could only be won with his own two hands. Without them now, there would have been nowhere to put those Shaman Folk.
Li Chen explained his plans to He Changnian, who agreed and praised him. "The reason we secretly supported your attack on Chess Mountain was that we saw you were more willing to shoulder responsibility. Now you've proved that we chose the right man."
He was referring to Li Chen's true nature as a Puppet Master, as well as his performance in this war.
Since the fighting began, Li Chen's forces had already eliminated twelve enemy Core Formation cultivators and captured another, along with several Foundation Establishment cultivators. This had far exceeded the expectations of He Changnian and the others.
Changing the subject, he told Li Chen, "We'll send people and treasure ships to help you relocate the common folk. Set that aside for now. The sect's higher-ups want to see you."
