My Master Knows It All

1066: Chapter 277_4 1066: Chapter 277_4 These Eastern Wasteland people, when they loot other sects, usually finish after one time.

But when they come to our Craftsman Sect, they want to rob us twice.

Do they see us as rich and thus decide to loot more?

Yet, even as the other party loots more, it seems he has no other option.

“This… this matter is not something I can decide on my own.

I have to report to the Sect Leader of our Craftsman Sect,” the Silver Craftsman could only return helplessly.

Soon, he was back in the Craftsman Sect and informed the Sect Leader Gold Craftsman of everything.

After the Silver Craftsman finished speaking, he even complained, “Senior Brother, these people from the Eastern Wasteland clearly see that our Craftsman Sect is wealthy and has abundantly resources, so they want to rob us multiple times.

If we give in to them this time, what do we do if other groups also come demanding when they find out?”

The Gold Craftsman looked up and asked his junior brother, “So your suggestion is to give nothing?”

“This…” The Silver Craftsman didn’t know what to say for a while, and after a long pause, he spoke softly, “Senior Brother, you are the Sect Leader.

Ultimately, everything concerning our Craftsman Sect should be decided by you.”

The Gold Craftsman sighed helplessly and said, “Junior Brother, I know you are concerned about our Sect’s resources.

After all, though our Sect is affluent and has ample resources, they did not come by a stroke of luck or naturally sprout from the land.

These were earned through the hard work of everyone in our Sect, forging Divine Weapons, and accumulated by our forebearers.

Naturally, I don’t want to just give these resources away either.”

As the Gold Craftsman spoke, he paused slightly, then his tone suddenly changed, “But, Junior Brother, have you thought about what they would do if we refused to give up resources?

What if they directly attack our Sect’s entrance?

Are we capable of holding them off?

Should we call for help?

Do you think that at this time, other Immortal Sects would come to our aid?

They have already paid their resources, and the Eastern Wastelanders no longer target them.

Why would they want to muddy the waters now?

Moreover, we are the last Immortal Sect they approached.

After they finish with us, they are likely to leave, and the other Immortal Sects in East Breeze would want them to leave as soon as possible, not wishing to stir up more trouble at this juncture.

Without anyone to aid us, our entire Immortal Sect would be annihilated.

By then, we would have nothing left.

Now, giving up some resources to ensure the safety of our Immortal Sect is the best outcome.

In fact, we are still lucky that these people from the Eastern Wasteland are not the sort to utterly annihilate us.

If those from East Breeze defeated the Eastern Wasteland, it won’t be as simple as just demanding resources from the major Immortal Sects.

Junior Brother, you need to understand the importance of making sacrifices.

Moreover, remember, as long as one lives, possibilities remain, but once dead, all hopes vanish.”

“Yes, Junior Brother has taken the lesson to heart.

So, Senior Brother, how much resources should we give them?”

“This will depend on the other party’s appetite,” the Gold Craftsman said with resignation, sighing once more as he walked with the Silver Craftsman to the outside of the Immortal Sect.

Indeed, the last time the Eastern Wasteland people came, they had already taken more than enough resources, essentially cleaning out their stored Spiritual Medicine.

However, the Craftsman Sect didn’t originally have much Spiritual Medicine as they are an Immortal Sect that crafts Divine Weapons; what they stored the most were materials for making Divine Weapons.

This time, they directly took away one-third of these materials — resources accumulated by the entire Craftsman Sect over countless years.

Yet, there was no choice, even if they demanded one-third of the resources, he could only comply.

Even after taking away these resources, they did not leave.

They put forward another request to inspect the failed Divine Weapons and damaged Divine Weapons that were irreparable in the Craftsman Sect.

Almost every disciple of the Craftsman Sect could craft Divine Weapons; indeed, there were many failed Divine Weapons, as well as some that were irreparable.

These items weren’t valuable, and since the other party wished to see them, he agreed readily.

But, who knew that the other party would select quite a few items from among them, and still, they did not leave.

More precisely, the other party had the rest leave, but the leader named Xiang Ziyu remained.

In the words of the person called Xiang Ziyu, he could also craft Divine Weapons and wanted to stay to exchange and discuss the craft.

Exchange?

Our Craftsman Sect and the Hundred Refined Sect are the strongest in East Breeze and West Barbarian at forging Divine Weapons.

Although Xiang Ziyu is powerful, crafting Divine Weapons isn’t directly related to strength.

What could he know?

However, with the other party’s prowess present here, they had no choice but to let him stay.

And the people from West Barbarian, watching the remaining Xiang Ziyu, started contemplating.

Why does this person want to stay?

We’ve taken enough resources from the Craftsman Sect, so what’s his purpose in staying?

Could it be a deliberate display to us?

“The other side may very well be hinting that they want us to pay a protection fee,” he said.

“In the past few days, I’ve gathered more information.

The power of the Eastern Wasteland is just too strong.

The Alliance Hierarch of East Breeze was slain on the very day the Eastern Wastelanders stormed in.”

Qian Chui listened to each of his junior nephews discussing the news they’d gathered and felt a surge of resentment.

After all this time in East Breeze, he turns out to be completely oblivious.

East Breeze had already planned to attack the Eastern Wasteland.

However, during his time in the Craftsman Sect, he was kept in the dark.
