The Water Virtue Sect Leader ultimately failed to report to Chen Mobai.
Because there was no means of contact.
It was a sub-sect divided from the Yi Yuan Dao Palace, and they didn't have a Heavenly Communication Device configured.
But eventually, Chen Mobai became aware of this matter because Xiao Yuli thought the Rank-4 missions were insufficient. At this rate, even if she worked her whole life, she wouldn't be able to accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for the Longevity Great Dao Pill.
Xiao Yuli originally intended to bring Chen Lingming along, but the latter was quite astute. He roughly understood why Chen Mobai set such a high contribution point requirement; it was to intentionally hold back those sub-sects, allowing enough growth and promotion time for the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Five Elements Sect.
Moreover, even if Chen Mobai were to show some leniency, it would only be laying a bridge for the older generation Nascent Soul cultivators like Yan Huo.
