Two days later, the four members of Tribulation Deliverance sat in the council hall on Spirit Rhinoceros Island. The atmosphere was heavy.
Xi Hong looked rather displeased.
All seventy-two water eyes had been divided up, and he had received only a scant few. The fortune he could actually use to replenish his fate was even less than he had expected.
Whoever it was had an enormous appetite. Weren't they afraid of eating themselves sick?
He glanced involuntarily at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo sat calmly to one side, betraying nothing unusual. What a joke. Was he supposed to spit out something he had already swallowed?
"The struggle over the Panbo Water Mansion ends here."
Xi Hong sighed and reluctantly looked away, turning to business. "The Turbid Abyss has expanded by three million li. There is no longer any need to fight over a single water mansion.
"The sect has sent word that this newly opened sea will be named the Eastern Sea, or the Azure Depths Sea. In a while, the entire Azure Depths School will relocate here, and this territory will fall under its jurisdiction."
The hall abruptly fell silent.
The distribution of benefits from three million li of sea had been settled this quickly? They exchanged glances. Sure enough, the higher-ups had already discussed everything.

Their expressions grew subtly complicated, quite apart from whether those recruits would even qualify.
In Fuli Heaven, only the Tribulation Deliverance Sect imposed no restrictions whatsoever on recruitment. It couldn't even be bothered to check whether someone was an infiltrator, and had no fear at all of disciples
