Silent Abyss

Song Wen left Zhou Siyi's cave dwelling and returned to his own on Azure Heaven Mountain.

At the same time, he sent Yu Wen a message asking her to come see him.

Before long, Yu Wen appeared at Song Wen's cave dwelling.

"Your subordinate greets the sect leader," Yu Wen said with a bow.

"Please, no formalities, Chief Yu. Have a seat."

Song Wen gestured toward a stone stool in the cave dwelling.

"Thank you for offering me a seat, Sect Leader."

Only then did Yu Wen walk over and sit down.

"Have all the sects' envoys been sent off?" Song Wen asked.

"Elder Fang of the Beast Taming Sect hasn't left yet. All the other envoys have departed," Yu Wen said.

"Thank you for your efforts today," Song Wen said.

"It was my duty," Yu Wen replied.

"Chief Yu, I've seen everything you've done for the sect. Rest assured, I won't treat you unfairly. You may choose any cultivation art in the sect's Transmission Pavilion to practice. In addition, you may draw various spiritual materials worth three hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones from the sect each year."

The cultivation arts currently in the Transmission Pavilion had come mainly from the Si Clan, with some obtained from Rogue Cultivators in Forgotten World Ridge.

Those arts held little value for Song Wen, but they would greatly benefit Yu Wen, who was at the Golden Core Stage.

"Thank you, Sect Leader."

Yu Wen hurriedly rose and bowed in gratitude.

Song Wen waved a hand, indicating that she should sit.

"In three days, remember to send people to take over Eastern Plain Mountain," Song Wen said.

"Sect Leader, I'm worried the Nether Soul Sect won't hand over Eastern Plain Mountain without a fight," Yu Wen said.

"Don't worry. I'll follow them in secret.
