"That may be the case, yet the profits from governing a region and those of a leisurely Vice Sect Leader differ by dozens of times. The sect surely wouldn't be willing to compensate me for these earnings in full, would they?"
Alkaid said calmly, "If they could make up for it, I would have no objections."
"The sect can offer you some compensation, but to make up for it in full... that would be beyond our ability..."
"Therefore, I'd better go by myself," Alkaid said with a smile.
This was tantamount to taking control of a whole region for free, equivalent at least to the land of dozens of states.
To say it was the foundation of a myriad of generations would be no exaggeration.
