A twenty percent share didn't sound like much, but the Yellow Springs was such a huge piece of the pie that even a twenty percent share would be enough to stuff the Great Monk until he looked like a ball.
Of course, obtaining that twenty percent share was something that would only happen after the war ended.
And wars between major organizations like this usually wouldn't end in just three to five years. If anything, that period would only grow longer, not shorter.
Therefore, when Black Witch offered this condition, Great Monk Zhixin agreed to it. But the other branch chiefs, including Luo Yan, didn't feel envious or jealous.
Even if the Great Monk ultimately received the profits, they would still be what he deserved.
Next.
Besides the two arrangements mentioned above, Black Witch also planned to increase the intensity of the exploration of the [Ruins]. However, that part was related to Zhu You. As for the various branches, their role was to provide financial and military support.
Simply put, to ensure that the exploration of the 'Ruins' could proceed more quickly and safely, Black Witch needed the other branches to contribute money and manpower.
But this was mainly aimed at the four branches of Tianhao, Xizi, Houtu, and Gonggong.
The Zhu Jiuyin Branch had to make preparations for the southward expedition, so it naturally didn't need to participate.
Luo Yan's Jumang and Yu Qiushui's Xuanming were both still recovering, so Black Witch also excluded them from the list.
Of course, although the branches of Li Chenyu and the others had to contribute money and manpower, if Zhu You's exploration of the 'Ruins' yielded anything, Black Witch's higher-ups would distribute the gains accordingly. They wouldn't let Li Chenyu and the others do business at a loss.
