This time, Zhao Hai's ultimate goal was the Octopus Islands. Even if they couldn't slaughter the Octopus Islands, they could still force the Xu Race to fight against them.
Because he was clear about this, Zhao Hai sent the flying silver coins ahead of time. His goal was to see how many ambushes the Xu Race had set up along the way.
Needless to say, Zhao Hai was able to find a lot of Xu Race people. Most of them were lying in ambush on the road. Moreover, they were in stealth mode. Naturally, these Xu Race people didn't expect Zhao Hai to have something like a scanner.
Although there were a lot of Xu Race people lying in ambush along the way, Zhao Hai wasn't worried. Although the World of Cultivation's frontline was stretched out, they were still in contact with each other. As long as one side was attacked, the others would immediately rush over to help. Even if they couldn't help, they would still be alerted in advance so that they could gather together to deal with the enemy.
The Xu Race wanted to use the majority of the World of Cultivation's forces to attack and eliminate the World of Cultivation's squads. However, the World of Cultivation's teams were able to discover the ambush ahead of time and immediately ran away. If the Xu Race wanted to chase after them, they would have to reveal themselves. This made it impossible for them to ambush them.
Originally, Zhao Hai thought that nothing would happen. But then he discovered that besides the Xu Race, there were other people lying in ambush. These people weren't the same as the Xu Race. The Xu Race didn't look like humans, but these people weren't. They were wearing black cultivator robes as well as masks that could block Divine Sense. Moreover, they were all gathered together, numbering about a thousand people.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. These people were blocking the World of Cultivation's path. It was clear that they didn't have good intentions. Moreover, they couldn't be considered an ambush, they were more like blatant robbers!
Zhao Hai didn't underestimate the other party because of this. On the contrary, he attached great importance to them. The fact that they dared to block the World of Cultivation's path meant that they were confident. They believed that they could stop the World of Cultivation.
And although the other side only had a thousand people, they were standing there in a strict formation. Zhao had been paying attention to them for a long time through the Space, but these people didn't make a single sound. Moreover, these people were emitting a murderous aura. At first glance, one could see that they weren't easy to deal with.
Zhao Hai said to Laura and the others, "Laura, the Space has collected some information about the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield. Can you find out which realm these people are from?"
Laura looked at the screen and shook her head, "I can't find out. Brother Hai, there's too little information. Moreover, these people are obviously trying to hide their identities. Therefore, they're wearing the same clothes and masks. Although there are some realms in the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield that prefer to wear black clothes and masks, it's impossible for them to be these people. This is because the style of their masks and the style of their clothes are wrong. It's impossible to find out their identities."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Let's analyze their fighting strength." Laura nodded, then Lizzy and the others got busy. What Zhao Hai said about analyzing combat strength wasn't just random nonsense. He used the Universal Analyzer to design a machine that could analyze the enemy's combat strength based on their body's energy, murderous aura, temperament, and other things. This machine was completely intelligent. Of course, the results of the calculations might not be accurate, so it could only be used as a reference.
Laura and the others were busy for some time. Then they looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, I'm afraid things aren't going well. The Universal Scanner said that these people's fighting strength is very high. If we move forward in a straight line, we might suffer a big loss if we encounter them."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he withdrew his spiritual force from the Space. At the same time, his eyes opened. Actually, he didn't need to do this when he was communicating with Laura and the others. The reason why he did this was just out of habit. At the same time, he discovered that Kong Miao didn't know what to say. In order to avoid awkwardness, Zhao Hai pretended to be meditating like a monk.
However, he couldn't do that now. This was related to the World of Cultivation. As soon as Zhao Hai opened his eyes, he immediately went to Kong Miao's side and said, "Brother, there's a new discovery."
Kong Miao stared, he looked at Zhao Hai with a puzzled expression. He didn't know what Zhao Hai discovered. So he asked, "What did you find?"
Zhao Hai replied, "About four hours ahead, there are people blocking the road."
Kong Miao frowned, this was because he understood what Zhao Hai meant. Zhao Hai said blocking the road, not ambush. Kong Miao looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Blocking the road?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, blocking the road. There are about a thousand people, but they aren't from the Xu Race. These people are wearing black clothes and masks on their faces. The masks can block spiritual force, so I can't see their faces. Moreover, these people are very strong. The Undead that I sent to scout the road have already been eliminated by them."
Kong Miao frowned and said, "Strong? About a thousand people? Are they reinforcements that the Xu Race invited from other places? Are there people from other realms that are willing to help the Xu Race? "
Zhao Hai's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at Kong Miao and said, "Grandmaster, there aren't people who are willing to help the Xu Race. Did you forget who the Xu Race are working for? It's very likely that it's a high-grade realm. That high-grade realm wouldn't just stand by and watch the Xu Race get eliminated. Otherwise, if this matter were to be exposed in the future, the influence of that high-grade realm would be huge. "
Kong Miao understood what Zhao Hai meant. This was just like the Void Temple. The Void Temple had a lot of small forces under them. These small forces were dependent on the Void Temple for survival. If the Void Temple couldn't handle things themselves, then they would hand it over to these small forces. If an accident were to happen to these small forces, then the Void Temple would have to rescue them. Otherwise, the hearts of these small forces would be exposed. Once these people's hearts were exposed, then it would be hard to lead the team.
Kong Miao nodded and said, "That makes sense. If it's really people from that high-grade realm, then we're in trouble." Kong Miao knew that with their current strength, they simply weren't an opponent of that high-grade realm. Moreover, they didn't dare to fight against that high-grade realm.
Zhao Hai looked at Kong Miao and said, "No, Grandmaster, this is an opportunity for us. With these people joining us, the Xu Race would dare to make a move against us. However, these people can't reveal their identities right now. Otherwise, it would cause a war between two high-grade realms. Therefore, we can act as if we don't know anything. As long as we defeat these people, I'm sure that the Xu Race would reveal their identities to us."
Kong Miao knit his brows and said, "I'm afraid that wouldn't be appropriate. If we go against that high-grade realm, then they wouldn't let us off."
Zhao Hai shook his head, then he looked at Kong Miao and said, "Grandmaster, even if we don't go against them, they still wouldn't let us off. Rather than that, we might as well go against them. At the same time, we can show our intentions to the higher-ups. Grandmaster, how about this? Let's gather our troops first. Then you can send a letter to the higher-ups."
Kong Miao nodded. He also felt that Zhao Hai's proposal was good. The other side had a thousand people waiting in front of them. If they rushed forward in a straight line, then they would certainly suffer a big loss. Moreover, this matter was related to a high-grade realm. They should ask for the higher-ups' opinion.
Kong Miao immediately took out a jade sword and sent his spiritual force inside. Before long, he finished writing a letter and then released the jade sword. This jade sword was meant for the higher-ups of the World of Cultivation.
Then Kong Miao took out another jade sword. This jade sword was meant for the teams that came to attack the Xu Race. After releasing the jade sword, Kong Miao turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Let's stop here and wait for them."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he stopped the Hell King's Ship. Kong Miao just stood there quietly. Before long, people from the World of Cultivation arrived one after another. Kong Miao explained the situation to them before Zhao Hai arranged for them to rest on the ship.
After about two hours, all the teams arrived on the ship. However, Kong Miao didn't order the ship to move forward. He had Zhao Hai stay here. This was because he was waiting for a reply from the higher-ups.
Fortunately, the jade sword was very fast. It only took about four hours for Kong Miao to receive a reply. After looking through the contents, Kong Miao turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, go full speed ahead." Zhao Hai understood what Kong Miao meant. It seems like the higher-ups have accepted his proposal to deal with the people from the World of Cultivation. He immediately nodded and drove the Hell King's Ship forward at full speed.
When Kong Miao sent the letter to the higher-ups, he already included Zhao Hai's proposal. Naturally, the higher-ups thought that Zhao Hai's proposal was reasonable. Therefore, they agreed to Zhao Hai's plan.
In fact, Kong Miao also thought that Zhao Hai's words were reasonable. In a battle between high-grade realms, the most important thing for small realms was to choose a side first. Even if you choose the wrong side, even if the high-grade realm loses, it wouldn't necessarily be destroyed. High-grade realms weren't simple existences, they wouldn't be easily destroyed. As long as the high-grade realm wasn't destroyed, then the small realms wouldn't necessarily have any problems.
If you don't choose a side in advance, then you might offend both sides. When the time comes, even if you don't choose a side, you wouldn't have a good time.
Naturally, the higher-ups also thought about this. Therefore, they decided to choose a side in advance. At this point, they simply didn't have a choice. The other party had already started to attack them. Moreover, they still didn't know the identity of the other party. If the other party revealed their identity, then they would have a choice. But at this point, they didn't know which realm the other party belonged to. Even if they wanted to surrender, they couldn't find a way. Because of this, they only had one choice left.
Zhao Hai steered the ship forward while paying close attention to the group of masked men. One must know that four hours had already passed. According to their original speed, the two sides should've already engaged in battle. But now that they had just set off, the other side might've made some changes in these four hours. Zhao Hai didn't know what to do.
