I hear you're close to Lu Jiu
"Sect Master Zhong."
You say everything you say is perfectly reasonable.
"Now that we have come to Rock Island, it naturally represents our intentions. This time, we will certainly take action against the Immortal Palace and the Demonic Path to reclaim Crimson Flame Island."
"But there's one thing you need to make clear."
"The Crimson Flame Sect has now been destroyed."
"After capturing Crimson Flame Island, how will its resources be distributed?"
"We can't just say that because Crimson Flame Island is the closest to your Rock Island, all these resources should be given to your Barren Rock Sect, can we?"
The one who spoke was Yang Ren the Myriad Blades Sect.
He was also tall, with white hair and beard, and a youthful face despite his white hair. He wore White Robe, and his body was surrounded by Sword Intent. His imposing presence was no less than that of Zhong Ming.
Lin Huasheng, Chen Shuo, and the others nodded in agreement.
Dealing with the Immortal Palace Cultivator is one thing, but how to distribute the benefits of Crimson Flame Island is an even more important matter.
Regardless of the sect, gaining access to the Crimson Flame Island will greatly enhance the sect's strength.
Zhong Ming thought to himself, "These guys from Upper Nine Islands are used to fighting each other; they're all tough to deal with."
This time, don't even think about getting them to take action unless the profits are properly distributed.
"After taking Crimson Flame Island, Rock Island will take 50% of the profits, and the remaining 50% will be divided equally among the seven islands."
The sound of the Zhong Ming echoed in the Conference Hall.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ren frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with Zhong Ming's allocation plan.
"Sect Master Zhong, are you joking?" His voice carried a hint of doubt. "Shouldn't the distribution of profits on Crimson Flame Island be more equitable?"
Zhong Ming showed no sign of backing down this time. He said solemnly, "Guardian Yang, this sect is not joking. Crimson Flame Island is the closest to my Rock Island, so my Barren Rock Sect will naturally go all out. In this battle, this sect will mobilize more than half of its disciples."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Furthermore, the Old Ancestor of Barren Rock Sect will secretly accompany us, protecting us as we reclaim Crimson Flame Island!!"
Even the Crag Rock Sect Old Ancestor would make a move? Yang Ren was slightly taken aback.
The Crag Rock Sect Old Ancestor that Zhong Ming mentioned was naturally a Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Barren Rock Sect. He was a Nascent Soul level Body Cultivator with unfathomable strength.
"According to our sect's intelligence, this Immortal Palace has recently recovered a great deal of its Origin Qi, and it is said that it has gained several Nascent Soul level Cultivator behind it."
Zhong Ming continued, "Without my Old Ancestor coming out of seclusion to protect you, are you sure you can attack Crimson Flame Island with peace of mind? Or can you persuade your own Old Ancestor to come out of seclusion and participate in this battle?"
Zhong Ming's words struck Yang Ren's heart like a heavy hammer.
Upon hearing Zhong Ming's words, Yang Ren's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
That's true, after all, they were facing a top-tier Demonic Path Force like the Immortal Palace!
Although the Immortal Palace is not what it used to be, its former prestige once spanned several Cultivation World. Which of the Nine Islands Golden Core Cultivators present would naively believe that reclaiming Crimson Flame Island would be an easy task?
"Alchemist Lin, your Pill Island has a close relationship with the Heavenly Star Alliance Heavenly Star Alliance. I've heard that you have a very close personal relationship with Lu Jiu, the Heavenly Star Alliance's number one genius. Lu Jiu has now successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Cultivator! If you can get the Cultivator of the Heavenly Star Alliance to lend a hand, what's wrong with you taking half of the profits?"
Zhong Ming suddenly turned his gaze to Lin Huasheng, putting even more pressure on the Nine Islands Cultivator present.
Upon hearing this, Lin Huasheng coughed lightly, clearly somewhat embarrassed.
He naturally did not respond to Zhong Ming's words immediately, because he knew very well that he would never easily use his relationship with Su Bai for such a small gain.
It should be noted that Su Bai has not only successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Cultivator, but is also regarded as the successor of the Heavenly Star Alliance Heavenly Star Alliance. He controls most of the Heavenly Star Alliance's business, and the Green Ying Spirit Plain is rich in resources, making his position extremely important.
His friendship with Su Bai was only established by a series of fortuitous opportunity, making it all the more precious and requiring careful maintenance.
How could I possibly use the friendship between Su Bai today for the benefit of others?
The Cultivator from the Nine Islands present looked at each other and fell silent for a moment. Clearly, after learning that the Crag Rock Sect Old Ancestor would take action, they had no objection to Zhong Ming's proposed profit-sharing plan and chose to acquiesce.
Finally, Yang Ren broke the silence, cupping his hands towards Zhong Ming and saying, "If it really was the Crag Rock Sect Old Ancestor came to our aid, then we naturally have no objection to distributing the benefits according to what Sect Master Zhong has suggested."
As soon as Yang Ren finished speaking, the other Cultivator from the Nine Islands echoed, "We second that!"
Seeing this, Zhong Ming was quite satisfied. He waved his hand generously and said loudly, "Good! Since everyone has no objections, then this matter is settled. We should act without delay, lest things change. Tonight, we will set off immediately to attack Crimson Flame Island!"
He continued, "There are still several hours until nightfall, so please hurry and prepare!"
Finally, Zhong Ming added, "I'll go and report this to my Old Ancestor first!" With that, he turned and left, leaving the Nine Islands Cultivator to begin preparing for their attack that evening.
