Chapter 210: Back into the Realm
“Li Lang, we’ve tried our best to negotiate, but after a discussion among our leaders, it’s been decided that they’ll be sending a select group of disciples next month into the pocket realm. It’s only a small number of elites as they agreed to delay a large opening to next year,” the head disciple of Nightmoon Valley calmly explained.
Li Lang didn’t show any reaction despite being saddled with the responsibility of hosting these disciples. He expected this would be the natural turn of events the moment he had decided to work with another party.
In fact, he welcomed it because he managed to strike a deal with Nightmoon Valley. He would receive a cut of the fees others paid to gain access to the pocket realm. It would fuel his expenses and more. The funds more than paid for his expenses while in the pocket realm. It was a welcome windfall, as there were no guilds nearby to sell his crafts. He could instead fully dedicate himself to breaking through during this time.
“I understand. It shouldn’t be an issue.”
“About the number of people—”
“I can’t speak on that yet,” Li Lang interrupted. “I haven’t taken stock of the situation inside yet. I’ll give you an answer once I’ve had some time to look into it.”
“Very well. We’ll have people stationed here, so you can have them relay the information to us. Just make sure to do it as soon as you can. The other organizations will continue pressuring us until we can give them an exact quota.”
Having said his piece, Jian Beiyun exited from the tent, dragging Sima Xue along.
“Senior Brother, wait! I still don’t want to go—”
“Say what you want, but we have many tasks to do. There’s no time for you to be playing around.”
The two swiftly flew away on their Skyrunner. As Jian Beiyun was someone who was in charge of various day-to-day activities for such a large organization, he had little time to spare. With their departure, various other Nightmoon Valley disciples also scattered.
These disciples, who were only brought along for the demonstrations, slowly left in their own vessels, leaving the once lively tent desolate. Only Li Lang’s group remained, along with a few cultivators stationed there. One of them was smiling gently as they stared at their guests.
