At last, some emotion flickered across Divine Monarch Han Jian's face. He seemed somewhat anxious.
The Wang Clan and the Wen Clan had always advanced and retreated together. Even when they divided the spoils on Rare Treasures Island after destroying the Blood Shark Pirates, the Wang Clan gave up territory and magic tools, and the Wen Clan made the same declaration.
Now that the Wang Clan had stated that it did not wish to get involved, the Wen Clan might do the same.
The Jade Heng Sword Sect's attitude toward the Wang Clan and the Wen Clan was to win them over as much as possible.
At the very least, they had to keep the two clans neutral.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you should consider this carefully. The Wang Clan may not have many people now, but you occupy half of Yin Yuan Island. Those are all excellent places for ordinary people to live, thrive, and multiply.

Over a thousand years, the population could double thirty times.
