Chapter 273 - Recruiting Outsiders

"It's already been a month since the water hounds began their attacks. On top of that, it's been raining for a week, strengthening them unfairly!"

"Not just that, there is no end to them, they keep on appearing."

"The hounds' corpses are stacking up. At this rate, they'll form a ramp, allowing them to breach the village walls."

"The sect is also running low on food. We need to deal with them somehow, or we will be annihilated."

The elders of the Luo Sect were discussing the current situation in a hall. And the rain was giving them an unfair advantage. It not only slowed the sect's cultivators but strengthened the hounds' strength.

"It seems that we have no choice left." Wang Lei spoke.

"What do you mean, sect leader?"

"Alert all the cultivators we have, whether they have just become one or the children of the higher-ups. Also, look for every cultivator currently present in the sect and make them join the battlefield, including the outsiders." Wang Lei ordered.

"But, why will they help us? They can just find an opportunity to escape. Nobody in this world puts their life in danger for others. And we are in no situation to threaten them and make the situation worse than it already is by making an enemy out of them."

"We shall craft a bargain so favorable that even the proudest shall bow, the resistance shall crumble." Wang Lei said with a confident smile

The others were confused.

After two days,

Yang Zhai stood in the village square, surveying the surroundings with a calm, steady gaze.

"So, that's what the current situation is. We gravely require your help, otherwise we will all be eliminated. In return, we will compensate you for your losses as well as reward you." Li Wei shouted, making his voice reach everyone.

There are children of the higher-ups, newly awakened cultivators, old retired cultivators, as well as the outsiders who were just here to rest, including Yang Zhai, Jun Haru, and others.

"How will you compensate us? And what's the rewarding arrangement?" Someone from the crowd asked.

Someone from the outsiders asked no way a sect disciple would pose such a question to Li Wei, a rank 5 cultivator.

"Rank 2 and rank 3 cultivators will be allowed to choose three Kas matching their ranks as rewards after each month. If this fight ends before a month, they will still be rewarded."

"As for compensation, after an hour, rank 2 cultivators will be given 100 essence stones, whereas, rank 3 will be given 200 essence stones."

Li Wei said with a smile, shocking everyone. No way any cultivator would be able to reject this.

"Wow! 100 to rank 2 and 200 to rank 3? Who wouldn't help them with this much compensation? And we will also be given three Kas as rewards."

Rank 2 Kas only were worth five hundred to two thousand essence stones. Whereas, rank 3 Kas were two thousand to ten thousand worth. And that too by helping for just a month, which was a cultivator's expertise to begin with.

"As for rank 4, 1000 low-grade essence stones as compensation for an hour of help. A complete set of rank 4 Kas or the chance to become the sect's elder, you choose. After a month, if we still require your help, then you will be given a hundred thousand essence stones each week."

This was something that shocked everyone. Even Yang Zhai is impressed. Luo Sect really wasn't holding back.

It seems the situation is quite dire for the Luo Sect: Yang Zhai contemplates.

A rank 4 Ka alone was worth ten thousand to fifty thousand, and the Luo Sect was offering a complete set. Attack Ka, defense Ka, speed Ka, healing Ka, observation Ka, buff Ka, and storage Ka.

If Yang Zhai had them, rank 5 cultivators would be in his sight. His strength would directly reach the rank 4 peak stage.

It seemed like the Luo Sect was extremely rich.

"I wish I was a rank 4 cultivator."

"I get it that they are a lot more stronger than rank 3, but shouldn't we also be rewarded a complete set as we are also putting our lives on the line?"

"Be quiet, three Kas are already quite a lot. Rank 4 cultivators are no joke, so they can't just offend them. Hiring them is a lot more than you think."

The crowd was in an uproar.

"As for rank 5 cultivators, if there are any, you can negotiate with us."

Rank 5 cultivators were able to create a sect or a clan on their own and also were able to cause a lot of destruction. They could be offered if there was a rank 6 cultivator here, but as there wasn't, they could only negotiate.

"Oh, it's you!"

Ha Eun came and greeted Yang Zhai.

"I thought you had left the sect as we hadn't seen you for more than a month."

"Brother Fen, who are they?" Jun Haru asked.

Yang Zhai didn't want others to attack him, so he and others faked their names until they were in the Luo Sect.

Yang Zhai was silent and didn't say anything.

"Ha Eun, who are they?" Jun Yi inquired.

"Didn't I tell you about a boy I met around two months ago, it's him. As for the others, I don't know."

Ha Eun replies and looks at Yang Zhai.

"Let's go" Yang Zhai didn't bother and turned around to leave.

However, this time, unexpectedly, Ji Woo was the one to stop Yang Zhai.

"Why don't we join and fight together? I remember that you are quite strong."

This surprised Ha Eun and Min Jae.

Wasn't she also against letting this boy join the group when Ha Eun tried to recruit him?

"I will ask you again, how will it benefit me, or you?" Yang Zhai rejected immediately and asked.

"Well…" Ji Woo went silent.

She couldn't think of any reason like Ha Eun couldn't in the past.

Yang Zhai waited for a while, before brushing past Ji Woo.

"Wait."

Yang Zhai came to a stop after hearing this and looked back.

"This will not only benefit us, but also you."

Jun Yi looks at Yang Zhai with confidence.

"What?"

Yang Zhai turned around and inquired.

"What will you do if you can reach the higher-ups?"

"Well, you piqued my interest, go on."

Author's Note: When I just say essence stones, it means low-grade essence stones. Otherwise, I will clearly say mid-grade and above-grade essence stones when mentioned.

Even though already mentioned, here is the breakdown. 100 low-grade = 1 mid-grade. 100 mid-grade = 1 third-grade and so on.
