The Sect Head of Wandan Valley hesitated for a long time. "This..."
Surrounding the valley was no small matter. Whether to lift the encirclement or not would ultimately be up to Ruan Nanzhi to decide anyway. Wandan Valley had no martial cultivators of its own, relying entirely on those hired from the outside. If Ruan Nanzhi refused to withdraw his troops, the onlookers from the various sects would undoubtedly relish the spectacle, leaving Wandan Valley with no choice but to spend precious favors to invite the Wanjian Sect to maintain order.
That simply wasn't cost-effective. Every favor owed to the Wanjian Sect was one less in reserve.
