Chapter 363: Secret Agreement
Over the following days, both inside and outside Tianbao Upper Sect presented a scene of bustling activity.
Although the preliminary agreement signed with the Que Religion was merely a framework, it still required a large workforce to follow up and implement.
The main peak's Heavenly Pivot Pavilion was brightly lit day and night. Executors and elders from various lineages shuttled back and forth ceaselessly. Even the major merchant houses and aristocratic families within Tianbao City stirred at the news. Beneath the undercurrents flowed massive interest transactions and structural adjustments.
As the Heavenly Longevity Festival concluded, the various factions that had gathered at Tianbao City began to recede like the tide.
Jiang Shangui from Cloudwater Upper Sect led Qi Haiyi and others to take their leave first. Before departing, he had another brief private discussion with Jiang Lishan and several Peak Masters. No one knew the contents, but judging from both sides' expressions, they should have reached some kind of understanding regarding the coordination of sea domain interests.
The Heavenly Star Alliance people followed closely after, departing decisively and efficiently.
Two days later, Zhang Longhu and Chen Youning also took their leave to return to the Thousand Reef Sea Domain.
On this day, Liu Qingxuan came to bid farewell to Chen Qing.
"Brother Chen, pardon this presumptuous disturbance." Liu Qingxuan cupped his fists with a smile, "This humble one will follow two elders back to the Swallow Islands tomorrow. Before departing, I've specially come to bid Brother Chen farewell."
