"Fifty percent?"
Even Meng Qianxun couldn't help but furrow his brow.
"This has always been the rule."
Qiu Tianshui glanced at the expressionless Lord Valley Master and said, "Within the territory governed by the Primordial Sect, half of all resources Tier Three and above must be handed over to our Sect in exchange for our protection."
"But isn't the Black Tortoise Calm Sea outside of the Primordial Sect's jurisdiction?"
Meng Qianxun was so incensed he almost laughed, unable to hold back any longer.
"Besides, fifty percent is far too much. Can't you be a little more lenient?"
'If the Primordial Sect had conquered this land through war and bloodshed, and Jinyun Valley had come to develop the ore vein, we wouldn't have said a word if you took fifty percent. Hell, we wouldn't have complained even if you took seventy.'
'But Jinyun Valley discovered this ore vein ourselves. The Primordial Sect just has to say the word, and they walk away with fifty percent of the profits.'
