Negotiations With Small Cultivation Families

"Esteemed guests," Wang Li's voice resonated within the room, carrying an air of quiet authority, "we appreciate you heeding our summons. As you know, the Xia Family recently dealt a devastating blow to the nefarious Crimson Talons and their demonic allies."

"During our efforts," Wang Li continued, his voice low and measured, "we stumbled upon irrefutable proof of your esteemed families'…shall we say, 'unorthodox' dealings with these very demonic forces." He withdrew a stack of folded parchments, each bearing the crimson seal of the Crimson Talons. "Contracts, detailing the exchange of resources and services between your families and these demonic entities."
