"The sect master said he could help your Shen Clan to help usurp power from the royal family, but the sect leader wants 40% of the territory owned by the royal family" Hong Zim told Shen Ao if the Gates of Eternity Sect is willing to help as long as the Shen Clan is willing to hand over 40% of the territory owned by the royal family to the Gates of Eternity Sect.
Shen Ao and the first elder's faces became a little unsightly when they heard this.
Originally the Shen Clan offered the Gates of Eternity Sect 25% of the territory owned by the royal family if the Gates of Eternity Sect were willing to help them stage a coup.
It was unexpected that the Gates of Eternity Sect would ask for more than the offer made by the Shen Clan to them.
"So do you agree or not? ", Hong Zim asked whether Shen Ao agreed with this or not.
If Shen Ao didn't agree then the Gates of Eternity Sect would not have reached out to assist the Shen Clan in its plans.
