Chapter 265: Trouble Brewing and Deal Making
Benton received an interesting message, the shortest one he’d gotten yet. It simply asked him if he would teleport to Kang Ya-Ting’s study at noon the following day for a quick meeting.
That was it. No context. Nothing. There should have been some explanation as to the purpose of the summons, right?
The paper sent had been one commonly used by the Poison Claw Sect, not one of Benton’s. Maybe that fact had something to do with the terseness.
Oh well.
Benton quickly sent a reply back, one even more succinct.
Sure.
Before sending it off, he re-read the single word and grinned. Even if no one else found it funny, he did.
A little while later, another message arrived, one from a source he didn’t recognize.
Sect Leader Chao Su,
Be it known that the Council of Four, an organization founded to improve relations between the four major factions on the Five Provinces continent, is hosting its quinquennial tournament in Sixth Flawless Flowing City. Events will allow faction members in the Qi Gathering and Foundation Establishment realms to compete in contests of martial ability, pill making, blacksmithing, and formations creation.
Let this notice serve as an official notice from the Council of Four that members of the Rising Tide Sect are invited to participate in these events. No entry fees are required for contestants, and as your sect is an honored guest, contribution to the prize pool is also not required.
Each of the four types of contests will be broken into four divisions corresponding to the participants’ cultivation realm—Qi Gathering, low Foundation Establishment, mid Foundation Establishment, and high Foundation Establishment.
