The Isis Sect proposed an exchange: Siril could apply to them to hire assistants to help guard the stronghold, and pay them wages at fixed intervals.
In return, Siril had to provide the sect with sufficient convenience and intelligence.
The Isis Sect seemed convinced that the stronghold would be attacked by monsters, so the liaison they sent carried a trace of arrogance beneath his calm demeanor.
Lu Sheng's disciples immediately stepped forward, ready to throw down, but fortunately Isla mediated between them and talked them down, preventing the conflict from erupting.
But after that clash, it was impossible for Siril to ask the sect's people to help guard the place again.
Lu Sheng had also vaguely noticed that after learning the Assassination Fist, the disciples under him had grown increasingly irritable as their combat strength rose.
The Phantom Devil Fist in particular possessed powerful evasion and precision, greatly enhancing one's marksmanship. In the age of firearms, rapid improvement in shooting meant a swift rise in actual combat power.
In just seven days, the Outer Sect disciples of the Ten Heart Phantom Devil Sect had made little progress in their fist techniques, but in marksmanship, nearly every one of them had reached the level of an elite shooter.
A few who had already been shooters had even reached the level of sharpshooters capable of piercing a willow leaf from a hundred paces away.
