* Bang! * Mo Like slammed the table and fiercely said, "Get into formation and retreat!" Mo Like didn't want to give this order, but he had no other choice. It has been seven hours since they started fighting with the First Legion. In these seven hours, not only did they not gain any advantage, they even lost more than 100,000 people. Their Immortal Experts were held back and their large artifacts couldn't be used. This battle was very depressing.
Most importantly, after such a long time, the fighting strength of the Heavenly Demons had reached its limit. If they don't retreat, then their losses would be even greater.
The reason why Mo Like thought this was because he discovered that there were still a lot of people in the Cultivation Realm who were very strong. He also observed the formation of the Cultivation Realm for a long time. He discovered that the formation of the Cultivation Realm was very well coordinated. A lot of Cultivators could even rest in the middle of a battle while being protected by others. Although the rest wasn't long, for a Cultivator, having a period of time to rest was very important.
Additionally, these Cultivators were carrying pills with them. When they were resting, they would eat the pills and it wouldn't take long for them to be full of vigor. This was the reason why Mo Like had to give the order to retreat.
For Mo Like to be able to command an army of 5 million Heavenly Demons, his status naturally wasn't simple. What he learned was how to command a large group of people in battle. Mo Like always thought that his commanding ability was very good. But compared to Zhao Hai, he discovered that he was far behind.
Mo Like had long discovered that there were cultivators who could rest during the battle. He also wanted to let the Heavenly Devils rest during the battle. However, he found that he couldn't move at all. Every time he wanted to let the Heavenly Devils rest, the cultivators would attack them, not giving them any time to rest.
Mo Like knew that the reason for this was because Zhao Hai's commanding ability was better than his. This made him unable to display his advantage in numbers. Mo Like was certain that the reason why he lost less than 200,000 people today was because the Heavenly Demons were stronger than the Cultivators. If Zhao Hai's Cultivators were as strong as the Heavenly Demons, then the Heavenly Demons' losses would be even greater.
At this time, the Heavenly Demons' attack had reached its limit. If they didn't retreat, then they would have to leave. Because of this, Mo Like decisively gave the order to retreat.
Following his order, the Heavenly Demon Army slowly retreated. The Immortal Stage Heavenly Demons also slowly retreated. Even the Immortal Stage Heavenly Demons around Mo Like flew out to cover the retreat of the army.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai didn't give the order to pursue. Instead, he ordered the army to slowly retreat. He knew that after seven to eight hours of battle, the Cultivators felt a lot of pressure. If they were to rush forward now, then they wouldn't be able to do anything. To be honest, Zhao Hai was already very satisfied with this outcome.
Both armies slowly retreated at the same time. Overall, the Cultivators had the upper hand. The Heavenly Demons suffered a small loss, but it wasn't a big one.
However, this battle made the Cultivators of the 1st Legion sincerely convinced of Zhao Hai's abilities. With less than 20,000 people, they managed to kill more than 200,000 Heavenly Demons. Such a record was dazzling no matter where it was.
These cultivators had time to rest. Aside from eating pills, they would also observe the situation on the battlefield. They couldn't help but recognize that Zhao Hai's commanding was simply an art. With 3 million troops against 5 million Sky Demons, the Sky Demons didn't even have time to rest. Most importantly, he was able to minimize the losses on his side. With such commanding ability, they couldn't help but be convinced.
At this time, Zhao Hai invited all the Immortal Experts to the Hell King's Ship's cabin. Looking at the Immortal Experts, Zhao Hai didn't speak. Instead, he gave a salute and said, "Seniors, I thank you for listening to this Junior's command. Today's results are all thanks to you. This Junior has been disrespectful to you before. I ask for your forgiveness."
As soon as the Immortal Experts heard Zhao Hai, they immediately stood up. One of them chuckled and said, "Zhao Hai, you're too polite. Kid, your ability to command is truly amazing. We admire you very much. In the future, as long as you command us in battle, we will certainly follow your orders." The Immortal Experts chuckled and said, "Zhao Hai, you're too polite.
The other Immortal Experts also agreed. Today's battle allowed them to see Zhao Hai's ability. Naturally, they were convinced by Zhao Hai.
These Immortal Experts were broad-minded. However, the dignity of an Immortal Expert wasn't something that could be provoked. In the past, Zhao Hai was very rude to these Immortal Experts. However, for the sake of the overall situation, they didn't make a move against Zhao Hai. They wanted to see what kind of person Zhao Hai was.
But after today's battle, they understood that Zhao Hai's decision to make everyone listen to him was correct. With less than 20 thousand casualties, he was able to eliminate 200 thousand enemies. This made the Immortal Experts have a whole new level of respect for Zhao Hai. Because of this, they were able to put down their grudges with Zhao Hai.
Hearing the Immortal Experts, Zhao Hai relaxed. Then he said, "Then I'll have to thank Seniors. This junior has prepared several jars of spirit wine. Seniors, please take a rest here." The Immortal Experts nodded and said, "Then I'll have to thank Seniors. After he said that, he waved his hand and took out several jars of spirit wine. He placed them on the ground as well as some jade cups. At the same time, tables and chairs rose up in the room for the Immortal Experts to sit down and rest.
The Immortal Experts weren't polite as they sat down and laughed. Zhao Hai gave everyone a salute before he turned around and left.
As soon as Zhao Hai left the room, an Immortal Expert couldn't help but sigh, "He's really a genius. The Black Tiger Gang is really lucky. I didn't expect someone from the lower realms to have such strength. It's really rare."
Another Immortal Expert said, "This person does things in an orderly manner. He knows when to advance and when to retreat. He's a rare talent. Most importantly, he's very strong. Moreover, he's proficient in formations and commanding. Such a talent is really rare. I heard that his status in the Black Tiger Gang isn't inferior to the current leader, Zhang Feng. When I first heard this, I didn't believe it. But now, I believe it. If our sect had such a talent, I would have given him a higher status."
Everyone nodded. But at this time, they suddenly remembered that Old Man Black Turtle was still sitting in the room. Everyone's gaze turned to him.
Old Man Black Turtle looked at everyone and smiled faintly, "Everyone, I haven't been in the Black Tiger Gang for a long time, but I still know a bit about their situation. The Black Tiger Gang is very strong and they're well prepared for the Heavenly Demon Invasion. Most importantly, the Black Tiger Gang made such preparations because of Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai participated in the Heavenly Demon Martial Arts Competition a year ago. After he came back, the Black Tiger Gang began their preparations. It can be said that Zhao Hai discovered the Heavenly Demon Realm's plot during the competition. There were many cultivators who went to the Heavenly Demon Realm, but he was the only one who discovered it. This in itself explains the problem. Don't blame Zhao Hai for not telling the sects. Even if Zhao Hai did tell them, how many people would believe him? If the Heavenly Demon Realm didn't invade, then I'm afraid even the Black Tiger Gang wouldn't believe it, let alone the others. "
After Old Man Black Turtle said this, he couldn't help but let out a long breath. Then he continued, "Even if the Black Tiger Gang doesn't rely on any external forces, they can still block the Heavenly Demon Realm's attack. This is all this this old man can say. If you don't believe me, then forget it."
The Immortal Experts turned silent. Then one of them suddenly looked at Old Man Black Turtle and said, "Brother Black Turtle, you're a Supreme Elder of a sect. Do you really want to join the Black Tiger Gang?"
Old Man Black Tortoise glanced at that person and discovered that it was the Sunken Sand Sect's Grand Elder. He also understood the meaning of this fellow's words. This fellow's words seemed to be asking about his future, but there was also the intention of sowing discord.
Old Man Black Turtle smiled faintly and said, "Why would I want to leave the Black Tiger Gang? I used to be the Grand Elder of the Black Tortoise Sect, and I'm still the Grand Elder of the Black Tiger Gang. Back then, I had to worry about the entire sect, and I had to work hard to gather supplies for the sect. Now, I'm a Grand Elder, and I have a very high position in the Black Tiger Gang. Most importantly, I can take in disciples from the Black Tiger Gang, and pass on my Black Tortoise Sect's orthodoxy. Even if you want me to leave the Black Tiger Gang, I won't leave. "
When everyone heard Old Man Black Turtle, they were silent for a while. They had already reached the Immortal Stage, they had already passed the age of contending for supremacy. At their level, they were more concerned with how to improve their strength and increase their lifespan. Because of this, these Immortal Experts agreed with Old Man Black Turtle's words.
For Cultivators, there were three most important things. One was strength, the second was lifespan, and the third was the inheritance of the Dao. There was no need to talk about strength. In the Cultivation World, without strength, one would find it difficult to move forward. There was also no need to talk about lifespan. What was the purpose of Cultivation? This was going against the will of the heavens and having the same lifespan as the heaven and earth. The third was the inheritance of the dao. Although many cultivators were heartless, they still attached great importance to the inheritance of their dao. Even Immortal Experts hoped that their dao would be passed down smoothly.
The Old Man Black Tortoise now had the strength and lifespan, but passing down the orthodoxy was still a problem. He wasn't like when he was young, he didn't want to open a sect by himself. Only he knew how hard it was to do that. He wouldn't do that. Opening a sect by himself would take too much time. He wanted to use that time to cultivate and increase his lifespan. Therefore, he wouldn't open a sect by himself. Being a Taishang Elder in the Black Tiger Gang was also good. He could also take in a few disciples and pass down the orthodoxy of the Black Tortoise lineage. Just like what he said, why not?
The Immortal Experts in the room were all experienced people. How could they not see that because of the words of the Sinking Sand Sect's Supreme Elder, the atmosphere in the room became strange. Because of this, everyone stopped talking about the Black Tiger Gang. Instead, they just chatted casually. The atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Since they were drinking happily, they naturally didn't pay attention to what was happening outside. The army outside quickly returned to their encampment. At this time, Zhao Hai chose to build an encampment between several small sects. This encampment wasn't built randomly. Once the encampment was built, the headquarters of the small sects could be used as a stronghold. Not only could they prevent the Heavenly Demon Army from attacking, they could also use the transmission points of the small sects to replenish their supplies and reinforcements.
Additionally, the location that Zhao Hai chose was on a mountain. One could clearly see the changes in the surroundings. This made it impossible for the Heavenly Demon Army to attack the Freedom Alliance's territory. It can be said that if the Heavenly Demon Army wants to attack the Freedom Alliance's territory, then they must first destroy Zhao Hai's encampment. If they don't pull out this nail, then the Heavenly Demon Army wouldn't be able to attack the Freedom Alliance's territory.
After arriving at the station, Zhao Hai immediately arranged for those who weren't injured to rest. He also arranged for people to treat those who were injured. As for the bodies of those who died in battle, they would be sent back to their sects through transmission formations. Then they would be properly buried. It can be said that there were a lot of things to do.
As for the Heavenly Demon Realm, it was very simple. They didn't need to worry about how to deal with the bodies of the dead. This was because the dead Heavenly Demons had already become Zhao Hai's Undead. Naturally, they didn't need to deal with them.
However, Zhao Hai didn't think about using the Undead to deal with the enemy. This was because Zhao Hai knew that if he did so, then the Heavenly Demon Army would certainly send all of their troops to deal with him first.
Zhao Hai knew that using Immortal Stage Undead to deal with the enemy was already very eye-catching. If he went too far, then the Heavenly Demon Realm wouldn't let him off. This was because the Heavenly Demon Realm knew that keeping him alive would only bring them more harm.
But Zhao also knew that everyone thought that there was a limit to the number of undead a person could convert. Once a person reached a certain number, they would no longer be able to convert corpses into undead. No one would have thought that he had the space, so he could keep this a secret so that he could play a bigger role in the future. It was precisely because of this idea that Zhao didn't want to use undead against his enemies.
After dealing with these matters, Zhao Hai immediately took out a jade sword message and sent a letter to the gang, asking about the situation of the 2nd Legion. In fact, Zhao Hai was very clear about the situation of the 2nd Legion. This was because almost all of the Black Tiger Gang's large artifacts were either refined or repaired by him. When he repaired the large artifacts, he would place liquid silver in them. Through the liquid silver, he could clearly see what happened to the 2nd Legion. However, he still needed to ask, otherwise he would be suspected.
