While Zhao Hai and Mu Yu were doing their best to transform the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hundred Treasures Realm began to attack the Ghost Spirit Realm. When the Hundred Ghost Daoist returned to their headquarters, the Ghost Spirit Realm expected this result. Because of their victory over the Fireweavers and the Giant Spirit Realm, the Hundred Treasures Realm has been very tough in recent years.
The Ghost Spirit Realm's guess wasn't wrong. After the Hundred Ghost Daoist left, the Hundred Treasures Realm began to gather their forces. They were preparing to attack the Ghost Spirit Realm. This time, it wasn't just the Ghost Spirit Realm that gathered their forces. Even the subordinate realms under their rule sent most of their forces to participate in the war. This seems like a war between two high-grade realms.
The Hundred Treasures Realm's actions caused the mid-grade realms in the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield to be puzzled. They didn't understand why the Hundred Treasures Realm would do this.
In the last war between the Hundred Treasures Realm and the Fireweavers and the Giant Spirit Realm, although the Hundred Treasures Realm won, it was a pyrrhic victory. It wasn't an easy victory.
In fact, when the Hundred Treasures Realm wanted to deal with the Giant Spirit Realm, they thought of a lot of methods. The most important step was to make the subordinate realms of the Giant Spirit Realm alienate themselves from the Giant Spirit Realm. This was tantamount to cutting off the Giant Spirit Realm's wings. Then they would deal with the Giant Spirit Realm.
This tactic was very successful in the beginning. This was especially true with the betrayal of the World of Cultivation. The World of Cultivation stabbed the Giant Spirit Realm in the back, making the Hundred Treasures Realm's situation very good. The subordinate realms of the Giant Spirit Realm were indeed alienated and were preparing to leave the Giant Spirit Realm.
But at this time, the Giant Spirit Realm used their trump card. They didn't care about face at all as they asked the Fireweavers for help. This move seemed completely shameless. A high-grade realm actually asked for help from their enemy. Even though they didn't care about face, they had to admit that this was a good move. This was because the unstable factors in the Hundred Treasures Realm were stabilized.
As for the subordinate realms that wanted to leave the Giant Spirit Realm, once they saw the Fireweavers joining in, they immediately became well-behaved. They were even more active than before in participating in the war against the Hundred Treasures Realm. This was because these subordinate realms wanted to get some benefits from this war.
This meant that the Hundred Treasures Realm's previous arrangements were completely useless. Not only did they fail to cut off the wings of the Giant Spirit Realm, they even allowed the Giant Spirit Realm to invite the Fireweaver Race to deal with them.
Fortunately, the Hundred Treasures Realm reacted quickly. They immediately went all-out in defense, giving up all their territories in the periphery and only defending their headquarters. And with the subordinate realms being loyal to the Hundred Treasures Realm, they were able to resist the attack of the Fireweavers and the Giant Spirit Realm. When the other high-grade realms agreed to send troops, there was no longer any suspense.
However, the Hundred Treasures Realm's victory wasn't easy. They also suffered a lot of casualties. Although the Hundred Treasures Realm gave a lot of compensation to the subordinate realms, they still haven't recovered. At this time, the Hundred Treasures Realm had to fight against the powerful Ghost Spirit Realm. This wasn't a wise thing to do.
However, nobody knew that the reason the Hundred Treasures Realm dared to do this was because they were confident that they would win. The other high-grade realms would help them. This was a battle where the strong bullied the weak. There was no suspense in this battle.
Naturally, the Hundred Treasures Realm didn't know that the Fireweavers had sent 10 thousand troops to deal with them. Therefore, the Fireweavers had already set out to attack the Hundred Treasures Realm.
On the third day of Zhao Hai's deployment, the Hundred Treasures Realm's army set out. Their target was the Ghost Spirit Realm. They didn't hide anything as they marched towards the Ghost Spirit Realm's territory. As long as the Ghost Spirit Realm wasn't blind and deaf, they would know what was going on. They would also be prepared.
Just as people thought, the Ghost Spirit Realm was fully prepared. They didn't want to leave their territory to fight the Hundred Treasures Realm. Instead, they waited in their own territory. First, they were more familiar with the terrain. Second, they wanted to tire the Hundred Treasures Realm out. This way, they would be able to easily defeat the Hundred Treasures Realm.
By the time Zhao Hai and Mu Yu finished dealing with the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hundred Treasures Realm's army had already left the headquarters for five days. They were about to arrive at the Ghost Spirit Realm's territory.
When Zhao Hai and Mu Yu returned to the Hundred Treasures Realm's headquarters, the Elders that were left behind were Mu Yao and Tang Yaoen.
Seeing this, Mu Yu couldn't help but stare. He didn't understand what was going on. Why wasn't Mu Yao leading the army this time? However, Zhao Hai understood that Mu Yao was avoiding suspicion. He personally forced Shen Wei to leave. If Mu Yao was the one leading the army this time, people would think that he was doing this for power. He wanted to stay as an Elder for a longer period of time. This wouldn't be good for the Mu Faction.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This saying wasn't wrong at all. The Hundred Treasures Realm was now very united. However, Mu Yao was still very careful. This was because he knew that this unity was based on a system. This system was the Hundred Treasures Realm's Elders taking turns to govern. If he destroys this system, then countless people would oppose him. When that happens, the Hundred Treasures Realm would fall into internal strife.
Mu Yao understood politics very well. This time, he took the initiative to stay. In his opinion, there was no merit in staying. All the merit would be given to Zong Ze. This way, the Hundred Treasures Realm would be able to develop more smoothly. Mu Yao no longer needed those merits. The merit of the Giant Spirit Realm surpassing the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield was enough for him to enjoy for the rest of his life.
"Master, Shi Bu, why didn't you lead the army this time?" Naturally, Mu Yu, who hadn't matured in politics, didn't understand why Mu Yao did this.
Mu Yao knew that Mu Yu would ask this, so he didn't say anything. He just smiled faintly and turned his head to Zhao Hai. He saw that Zhao Hai's expression was very calm. It seems like he didn't care that Mu Yao stayed.
"Little Yu, you need to learn to think more. Cultivators should focus on cultivation. But with your current status, you can't just focus on cultivation. This won't do you any good in the future. If the Hundred Treasures Realm is handed over to you in the future, then you can't be like this. Look at Little Hai, I think he should understand what's going on. You should learn from him in the future." Mu Yao looked at Mu Yu and calmly said.
Mu Yu looked at the calm Zhao Hai in confusion. Zhao Hai looked at Mu Yu and said, "I've heard a saying before. Politics is about constant compromise. If Elder Mu leads the army this time, then what will happen to the Elders? What will the other Elders of the Hundred Treasures Realm think of Elder Mu? Big Brother Mu, sometimes merits need to be given to others, especially those with high positions. "
Mu Yu wasn't a fool, he just didn't know enough about these matters. Now that he heard Zhao Hai, Mu Yu understood. He turned his head to Mu Yao. Mu Yao smiled and nodded. Mu Yu let out a long breath and said, "So it's like this. Thank you, Little Hai."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "You're too polite, Big Brother Mu. This time, we didn't chase after them. We'll just stay in the headquarters."
"How's the Hidden Cloud Village? That place is very important to the Hundred Treasures Realm. We can't let anything happen to it. "Tang Yaoen said.
"Martial Uncle, rest assured. Everything has been arranged. Zhao Hai has given the Cloudsea Territory two long-term tasks. The first is to plant some of our herbs in the Hidden Cloud Village and see what happens. The second is to have them capture cloud beasts. If the Hundred Treasures Realm wants to fight the Cloudsea Territory, cloud beasts are indispensable. Otherwise, we would never be able to leave the Whitecloud Islands." Mu Yu told Tang Yaoen about Zhao Hai's plan.
Although Mu Yao and the others attached great importance to the Hidden Cloud Village, they weren't like ordinary people who would ask about it three times a day. They gave Mu Yu and Zhao Hai absolute trust. Mu Yao was very clear about the abilities of Zhao Hai and Mu Yu. If the two of them couldn't deal with the Hidden Cloud Village, then Mu Yao would be worried about the future of the Hundred Treasures Realm.
Mu Yao nodded and said, "The Whitecloud Island is more suitable for growing herbs. This arrangement is good. We still need to experiment whether or not we can use cloud beasts. But for the sake of the future, we should start preparing. Good, you've done a good job."
Mu Yu smiled and said, "Now that the Hidden Cloud Village's spatial formation has been arranged, nobody can enter the village unless they have a jade token. The jade token has been processed by Zhao Hai, so it's impossible for others to copy it. Therefore, we don't need to worry about safety. We now have a safe base in the Cloudsea Territory."
Mu Yao nodded and said, "That's good. We mustn't expose the situation in the Hidden Cloud Village. This time, we're going to carry out the plan that the two of you gave us. If it succeeds, then everything will be fine. If it doesn't, then the Hidden Cloud Village will be our last resort. Do you understand?"
The two nodded. Then Mu Yao nodded and said, "Alright, it's good that you're back. There's nothing to do in the stronghold, so you two can relax. Little Hai, you should go home and take a look."
Although Zhao Hai knew that the Fireweavers were about to attack, he couldn't say anything at this time. He just nodded and said, "Yes, thank you Elder."
Mu Yao waved his hand, then he turned to Mu Yu and said, "You should go and rest as well. Come back tomorrow. Although there's nothing to do in the headquarters, you still need to pay attention. After all, the Hundred Treasures Realm still has the Fireweavers as an enemy."
Mu Yu nodded and then left with Zhao Hai. When Zhao Hai heard Mu Yao, he relaxed. It seems like Elder Mu didn't let his guard down just because the situation was good. This was good.
