* Bang! * An exquisite sandalwood table turned into a pile of dust. Then, a voice roared, "Did he really say that? He said he wants the Four Northern Provinces? Is he crazy? "
The person who spoke was Jian Wuya. Jian Wuya no longer had the bearing of a Sect Master. He was like a mad dog that had been kicked.
Beside Jian Wuya were a few people. These people were the Sect Masters of the Nine Great Sects. Their expressions weren't very good as they stared at the cultivator in the middle of the hall. This cultivator was from the Myriad Demon Sect, but he was in charge of gathering information. He was the one who reported to Jian Wuya that Zhao Hai had said that the Freedom Alliance wanted to take the Four Northern Provinces from the Nine Great Sects.
This news was too shocking. If it was an ordinary person, then Jian Wuya and the others wouldn't take it seriously. However, it was Zhao Hai who said it. Zhao Hai's strength was there for all to see. He alone had the strength to deal with the Nine Great Sects. Now that he said it, the Nine Great Sects had no choice but to take it seriously.
The cultivator from the Myriad Demon Sect felt a bit scared after being stared at by Jian Wuya and the others. However, he still said, "It's true. Zhao Hai said it himself. Moreover, he said that as long as he obtains the Four Northern Provinces, he will erect a monument to record the names of all the Freedom Alliance's cultivators who participated in this operation."
Jian Wuya's eyes were bloodshot. Zhao Hai's erection of the monument was a supreme glory for the cultivators of the Freedom Alliance. However, for the Nine Great Sects, it was a slap in the face. Moreover, it wasn't just a slap once, but a slap over and over again. How could Jian Wuya, who loved face as much as his own life, not feel angry?
The Sect Masters of other sects were also livid with anger, especially Jiao Hualong, Gui Lingzi, Wu Youdao, and Dong Libo. Their four sects were located in the Four Northern Prefectures. If the Freedom Alliance wanted to take over the Four Northern Prefectures, they would have to deal with them first. In other words, their four sects were the most dangerous.
Jiao Hualong and the others angrily agreed. At the same time, they were also secretly complaining in their hearts. They already knew how powerful Zhao Hai was. If Zhao Hai really wanted to take over the Four Northern Prefectures, then it was very likely that he would succeed. If Zhao Hai really controlled the Four Northern Prefectures, then the four sects would become rootless weeds. In the future, they wouldn't have the face to call themselves the Nine Great Sects.
The four of them angrily agreed, but at the same time, they were also thinking about how to deal with this matter. In their opinion, using force was the worst option, and even if they used force, they might not necessarily be Zhao Hai's opponent, so they could only think of other ways.
But if he didn't use force, what else could he do? Should he give benefits to the small sects in the Freedom Alliance and have the alliance disband? That was impossible. The Freedom Alliance was now united, so they wouldn't disband no matter what benefits they were given. Most importantly, if the Freedom Alliance controlled the Four Northern Prefectures, then all the sects in the alliance would benefit. This benefit was the expansion of their territory and their strength. These benefits weren't something that the Nine Great Sects could give them.
Moreover, even if the small sects left the Freedom Alliance, what could they do? At this time, their enemy wasn't the entire Freedom Alliance, but only one person, and that was Zhao Hai. Even if the Freedom Alliance disbanded, Zhao Hai could still destroy the small sects in a matter of minutes. At that time, the Freedom Alliance would cease to exist, and only the Black Tiger Gang would remain. If Zhao Hai wanted to deal with them, then there wouldn't be any resistance.
The Sect Masters of the small sects naturally understood this. Because of this, it was impossible for the small sects to leave the Freedom Alliance. If they left the Freedom Alliance, then they would be exterminated. If they stayed in the Freedom Alliance, then they would be able to obtain a lot of benefits. This choice was too simple, even an idiot would know what to choose.
Neither soft nor hard methods worked. The people of the Nine Great Sects suddenly discovered that they had no way to deal with Zhao Hai. Their various methods were simply not worth mentioning in front of Zhao Hai's strength.
Jian Wuya was angry for a while before he slowly calmed down. He also knew the seriousness of the matter. The Nine Great Sects had always followed the Sky Sword Sect's lead. Moreover, they were the ones who proposed to deal with Zhao Hai. Now that Zhao Hai said that he wanted the Four Northern Prefectures, if he couldn't help the Myriad Demon Sect defend the Four Northern Prefectures, then what would the other sects think of him? Would the Sky Sword Sect be able to maintain their position as the leader of the Nine Great Sects? No, absolutely not. Therefore, he had to think of a way to help the Myriad Demon Sect defend the Four Northern Prefectures. Then, Jian Wuya encountered the same problem as Jiao Hualong.
How to deal with Zhao Hai? This became the biggest problem for the Nine Great Sects. The entire hall fell into silence. Everyone could hear the sound of breathing. This made the entire hall very oppressive. It was as if the air had frozen.
After a while, Jiao Hualong opened his mouth and said, "I think Zhao Hai will be here soon. With his strength, it would be too easy for him to swallow the Northern Prefectures. With our forces, I'm afraid that we won't be a match for Zhao Hai. Does anyone have anything else to say?"
Jian Wuya and the others turned their heads to look at Jiao Hualong. They discovered that Jiao Hualong's expression was very calm. Their Myriad Demon Sect's ten thousand years of foundation was about to be swallowed by someone, yet he was able to remain calm. This was really unexpected.
Jian Wuya and the others weren't sure what Jiao Hualong was thinking. Jian Wuya looked at Jiao Hualong and said, "Old Jiao, do you have any plans?"
Jiao Hualong looked at Jian Wuya and coldly said, "What plans? The Myriad Demon Sect's ten thousand years of foundation can't be destroyed in my hands. My Myriad Demon Sect isn't a coward. If worse comes to worst, we'll go all out against Zhao Hai."
Jian Wuya looked at Jiao Hualong and sighed. He knew that Jiao Hualong was prepared to die. He said, "Old Jiao, it's still too early for you to say this. Yes, Zhao Hai is very strong, we can't afford to offend him. However, you should also pay attention to one thing. Zhao Hai released this information in advance to let us know. He wants to tell us what his bottom line is and what he wants. Now, he'll see what we can do. If we insist on defending the Four Northern Provinces, then Zhao Hai will certainly deal with us. But if we don't defend the Four Northern Provinces, then Zhao Hai won't necessarily deal with us."
Jiao Hualong and the others were confused as they looked at Jian Wuya. Jian Wuya smiled bitterly and said, "I've thought back to everything that Zhao Hai did. I discovered that Zhao Hai wants the Freedom Alliance, or rather, the Black Tiger Gang, to become stronger. However, he also doesn't want the nine great sects to suffer heavy losses. Otherwise, he wouldn't have released this information in advance. He released this information in order to see our reaction. When we receive this information, even if we want to fight him head-on, we would gather everyone together and fight him. He can use this opportunity to deal with us once and for all, but we would certainly make preparations in advance. We would take the four great sects' assets and wouldn't fight him head-on. This is his goal."
That's what he wants. "Speaking up to here, Jian Wuya sighed and said," The reason why Zhao Hai doesn't want the Nine Great Sects to suffer heavy losses is because the Leap Dragon Realm is coming. He doesn't want the Cultivation World to lose the opportunity to enter the Leap Dragon Realm. Therefore, he wants the Nine Great Sects to survive. Otherwise, with his strength, do you think he would let us go so easily? Would he only want the Four Northern Provinces? "
Jian Wuya thought about a lot of things. He discovered that Zhao Hai wasn't simply showing off. He did this for a reason. He wanted to see their reaction. After thinking about this, a lot of things made sense. He also had a good explanation for why Zhao Hai did this.
The Leaping Dragon Realm. Everything the Cultivation World was doing now was for the sake of the Leaping Dragon Realm. The Nine Major Sects wanted to deal with the Freedom Alliance because they didn't want a big force to appear that could compete with them. If that happened, another force would control the Leaping Dragon Realm with them. In the end, the Leaping Dragon Realm was the root of everything.
Jiao Hualong and the others were thinking about Jian Wuya's words. To be honest, they didn't think about it before. But now, they had no choice but to think about it. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that Jian Wuya's words were reasonable.
Jiao Hualong said that he wanted the entire Myriad Demon Sect to fight to the death with Zhao Hai. However, he knew that it was impossible for him to do this. Before the battle with Zhao Hai, he would select some core disciples from the Myriad Demon Sect and have them take the sect's cultivation methods and savings. They would go to the other realms and pass down the legacy of the Myriad Demon Sect.
Legacy was very important for a sect. Therefore, even if Jiao Hualong wanted to stay and fight to the death with Zhao Hai, he must pass down the legacy of the Myriad Demon Sect.
But now that he heard Zhao Hai's words, he understood what Zhao Hai meant. Zhao Hai didn't want to destroy the Myriad Demon Sect. He wanted territory. It would be best if the Myriad Demon Sect could withdraw from the Northern Strange Region. Otherwise, he would have to use force. This was equivalent to giving them a final warning.
After some time, Jiao Hualong turned his head to Jian Wuya and said, "Old Jian, what do you mean? Do you want us to withdraw from the Four Northern Strange Region and give it to Zhao Hai? "
Jiao Hualong's words attracted the attention of the others. They turned their heads to look at Jian Wuya. Jian Wuya looked at them and nodded, "Right, that's what I meant."
Dong Li Bo stood up and coldly looked at Jian Wuya. Then he said, "Jian Wuya, what do you mean? Do you want us to give up the sect's 10,000 years of foundation? Do you want the Black Tiger Gang to take advantage of us? Zhao Hai didn't want your Myriad Sword Sect's territory. Of course, you don't feel any heartache. Let me tell you, our Eastern Sage College won't leave. At worst, we'll fight to the death with Zhao Hai. "
Jian Wuya looked at Dong Li Bo and said, "Fight to the death? What do you have to fight to the death? Dong Li, calm down. Right now, we aren't Zhao Hai's opponent. We have to admit this. If the Four Great Sects retreat to the Southern Five Regions, although you might not be able to adapt for the time being, you would still be one of the Great Sects of the Cultivation Realm. If you stay here and fight, then even if you pass down the teachings of your Sects, would your Four Great Sects still be in their current situation? "
