Paying people to fight-and paying a fortune for experts to fight, at that-had never even crossed Wu Jinliang's mind, given his impoverished upbringing in the Land of Exile.
Although those Six Realms Exchange notes were useless in the outside world, they worked in the Nether Realm. For someone who could travel between the two realms, being useful in the Nether Realm amounted to being useful outside as well. There was always trading and exchanging.
In short, Wu Jinliang felt this might be a little too extravagant.
Chu Jingtang and Lao Changhai, however, were dumbstruck. They understood what they had heard, yet could not quite wrap their minds around it.
"The Nether Realm?" Lao Changhai swallowed audibly.
Chu Jingtang also asked, "Chief, do you mean the Nether Realm that's been sealed for eight hundred years?"
Shi Chun nodded. "What other Nether Realm is there?"
After exchanging shocked glances with Lao Changhai, Chu Jingtang asked again, "Isn't the Nether Realm sealed? Even the greatest powers can't enter or leave..."
Shi Chun said, "That's one of the important reasons we spent so long searching for Death-Defying Incense. Not only can it revive the dead, it can also open a passage to the Nether Realm."
Standing nearby, Wu Jinliang sighed inwardly at this. He had never expected the Chief to tell these two even this secret.
But on second thought, it made sense. They were about to send the two into the Nether Realm using this method, so they would find out either way. There was no longer any need to hide it from them.
From this, he could tell that since Chuntian had revealed this secret to them, he had no intention of leaving them room to refuse. They would probably have to agree even if they did not want to.
