In the Guest Hall of the Myriad Mist Sect in Chime Bell World, Lu Ye had been sitting for quite some time.
An hour earlier, Lu Ye had arrived outside Chime Bell World. After stating his purpose, he had been permitted to enter the realm and brought here.
Yet aside from the female disciple who had served him tea earlier, he had not seen anyone else.
He had not come to Chime Bell World this time to find Chu Shen. The one Lu Ye wished to pay Mountain Worship to was Nine Radiance.
Although Mang Dang's intervention had torn open a gap in Three Realms Island's current predicament, it was still far from enough. After turning it over and over in his mind, Lu Ye saw only two ways to break the deadlock completely.
One was to draw several more major factions into the affair, but that would be difficult. Mang Dang had been willing to take charge of establishing a Five Colors Merchant Association branch on Three Realms Island because Lu Ye had saved his life. Within the limits of his authority and ability, he was willing to return a peach for a plum.
Three Realms Island had no ties with the other major factions. Without overwhelmingly generous benefits, no one would be willing to wade into this muddy water.
That left only one option: pay Mountain Worship to a Sunlight cultivator and seek their protection. Of the five Great Sun Realm Guardians stationed on Myriad Phenomena Sea, none was a suitable choice. Lu Ye thought of Nine Radiance.
If Three Realms Island could establish ties with Chime Bell World, then together with Five Colors Island's stance, they would surely be able to break the deadlock.
Lu Ye was not especially confident about this, but there was no harm
