After an afternoon of meetings.
Both Ge Yun and He Chengji felt somewhat exhausted.
Although it was just a matter of talking, the negotiations concerning the distribution of benefits naturally took a lot of effort.
Each family's situation is different, so the distribution of benefits will naturally differ.
Furthermore, the Cloud Soaring Sect needs them to increase their participation and send more personnel to join the battle.
These all need to be negotiated one by one.
However, overall, there were no major obstacles.
Because they didn't have many choices to begin with.
It could even be said that the Cloud Soaring Sect was their only option.
They naturally hold the initiative.
It just takes a lot of mental effort.
After more than a dozen rounds of negotiations throughout the day, the lobby was finally mostly empty.
However, this is only the first round...
He Chengji took the roster and wrote down a few lines.
Looking ahead again, there was a blank space. I simply came up with a title: "The Sun and Chen Families!"
The rest of the text was filled with words such as "Lin Family: 374 Qi Refining cultivators, 89 Foundation Establishment cultivators, and one early Purple Mansion Elder."
"Fellow Daoist Ge, are you not considering these two families? Could it be that there will be changes later? Or is this a deliberate arrangement by the Loose Cultivator Alliance?"
In the morning, He Chengji saw the two families discussing and decided to send someone to invite them in.
But the next moment, Ge Yun waved his hand and pressed it down.
Ge Yun smiled and said, "Not really. They've joined Yunxiao's ranks again, so it's unlikely they'll switch sides again. Once is enough, but twice? They know that. Even if our stronghold here falls, the main sect hasn't. If they dare to switch sides again, ignoring Yunxiao's power like this, aren't they afraid of being wiped out?"
"Then why has it been left out to dry?" He Chengji was aware of this as well, but he used it as an excuse to bring up the main point. Besides, he had some doubts in his mind; could it be that there was some kind of open or covert struggle among these five families?
This is quite possible, after all, the Ge and Sun families are the strongest among the five families, both of which have cultivators in the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm. However, one is at the Perfection stage and the other is just approaching the Perfection stage, so the actual difference in family power is not that great, and some open and covert struggles are normal.
"No, it's just about getting a better grasp of the situation. Otherwise, how would the two sides be willing to spit out more?"
Ge Yun smiled slightly, looking at He Chengji with an air of mystery, and slowly spoke.
He Chengji was taken aback, not expecting to go up to this floor.
Now that various factions want to recruit Yunxiao, they naturally offer considerable gifts to the two leaders.
But naturally, this was something that happened naturally, so the gifts wouldn't be too many; they would just be tokens.
Unless it's a situation like that of the Sun and Chen families, they probably wouldn't be willing to spend so much.
"Brother He, you haven't reached perfection yet, so you naturally don't know how much you'll need resources. Although we have a friendship, this is about your own path. If you don't take this opportunity to rip me off, how can you be fair to yourself?"
Ge Yun smiled slightly.
Of course, while this is one reason, there is another, namely, as Cheng Ji thought. Originally, the five families were of similar status. If they were not suppressed, how could the Ge family be the leader in the future?
Then, Ge Yun ordered his men, saying, "It's getting late. Tell everyone to go home and come back tomorrow. Also, have the elders of the Sun and Chen families come in."
...
At this moment, a disciple came to the main hall to deliver a message.
The elders of each family held no resentment, understanding the number of powerful families present, and they all rose and bowed, saying:
"Very well, in that case, I will come again tomorrow!"
One person couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems that taking the initiative to reach out is truly an excellent idea! I wonder how many companies have come; today alone, there have been nearly twenty!"
"Yes, in a short time, it's enough to greatly increase the Cloud Soaring Sect's prestige. Judging from the situation, suppressing the Loose Cultivator Alliance and seizing those resource-rich areas won't be a problem, especially since there are targets all around, and not many forces stronger than the Loose Cultivator Alliance. There are plenty of weaker ones!"
"It seems that by following the Cloud Soaring Sect, we no longer need to just maintain the status quo. Instead, we can take this opportunity to fight alongside the Cloud Soaring Sect, reclaim our lost foundation, and perhaps even grow stronger!"
"…………"
Although everyone present looked very happy.
Naturally, only the Sun and Li families looked extremely unpleasant.
They were among the first to come and seek refuge, so they should have been among the first forces to be received.
But now...
For a moment, even the most composed elder of the Sun family couldn't help but turn pale.
"Could it be that the Cloud Soaring Sect really has no intention of accepting us back?"
The moment this idea came to mind, their spirits gradually plummeted.
Looking at the magnificent scene today, one can only imagine how many forces have invested in it.
This is enough to increase Yunxiao's power significantly, perhaps even nearly double, in a short period of time.
This trend seems quite likely to suppress the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and then what will happen to the two of them...?
The more they thought about it, the more somber their expressions became, and the more uneasy they felt.
Fortunately, the disciple who delivered the message immediately looked at them and said the words of Ge Yun's audience; otherwise, they would have been filled with anxiety and unease.
Immediately, the expressions of both families brightened, their spirits lifted, and they showed a hint of joy as they hurriedly walked forward side by side.
