After sending Tie Gong away, Zhao Hai let out a long breath. He knew that today's matter couldn't be concealed. It wouldn't take long for the people of the True Spirit Realm to know about his fight with Lu Sheng. Fortunately, this matter could be pushed onto the Saber Token.
However, this matter also reminded Zhao Hai that he was only a Fusion Soul Expert. If his performance was too eye-catching, then the other sects would definitely pay attention to him.
However, Zhao Hai didn't take the initiative to be bullied because of this. He wouldn't just let people hit him and not retaliate. If he did, then he would just kill the person and push the Saber Token onto him.
After staying in the small town for a day, Zhao Hai explained the situation of the underground maze to Laura and the others. Laura and the others were also very concerned about this matter. After all, this matter was related to the entire Tyrant's Blade Sect, and they were now people of the sect.
The next morning, Zhao Hai and the others left the small town and went straight to their destination. Their journey was very smooth, they didn't encounter any enemies.
Just as Zhao Hai thought, the news of his fight with Lu Sheng had already spread throughout the continent. However, this news didn't mention the Saber Token at all, it only said that Zhao Hai killed Lu Sheng.
Naturally, there were very few people who believed this news. Although Zhao Hai was now a Fusion Soul Stage Cultivator, Lu Sheng had also stabilized his own realm. He was now a powerful Teleportation Realm Cultivator. A Teleportation Realm Cultivator dealing with a Fusion Soul Stage Cultivator was a piece of cake. Maybe someone helped Zhao Hai, or maybe it was because of other reasons.
Finally, people thought about Zhao Hai's identity. Zhao Hai was an Inner Disciple of the Tyrant's Blade Sect, and his teachers were the powerful Yin Yang Elders.
If the news had spread at the beginning that Zhao Hai had killed Lu Sheng with the Saber Token, other people might have felt that this matter was a bit strange, and they might not have believed it.
The Tyrant's Blade School's Blade Token had always been a headache for the other sects. Moreover, this Blade Token was a tradition of the Tyrant's Blade School. The other sects had never been able to do this. This was also the Tyrant's Blade School's love for their disciples. At the same time, it was also a symbol of the Tyrant's Blade School's unity.
It was for this reason that the disciples of the Tyrant's Blade School were people that other sects didn't want to encounter. If you attacked a disciple of the Tyrant's Blade School, it was very likely that he would suddenly use a big move. Moreover, this big move was at least in the Teleportation Realm. This was the biggest headache for the other sects.
Because no one came to disturb them, Zhao Hai and the others' speed increased a lot. Four days later, Zhao Hai and the others finally arrived at the abandoned town.
Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry to enter the town. Instead, he stopped his carriage outside the town. Then he sat on top of the carriage and quietly looked at the town.
The town wasn't very big. The entire town had about 300 households, so there weren't many people. Besides the main street, there wasn't anything special about the town.
The houses weren't very neat, they looked like they had been specially designed. Zhao Hai immediately said, "Laura, take a map of the town to the Space and analyze it. Not only do we need to see if it can form a formation, but we also need to see if the town's streets are suitable for escaping or fighting. The True Spirit Realm is different from the Cultivation Realm. There are almost no ground wars in the Cultivation Realm. But in the True Spirit Realm, ground wars are a large part of the war. Therefore, we need to take these issues into consideration." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
Laura and the others nodded, then they immediately returned to their carriages and began to get busy. Qiu Tie, who didn't understand these things, stayed by Zhao Hai's side. He looked around vigilantly and then said, "Young Master, are we not going in?"
Zhao Hai looked at Qiu Tie, then he smiled faintly and said, "The town is in the Anti-Sky. We can go in early or late. Let's observe the surroundings first. If we can't find anything, then we'll go in."
Qiu Tie nodded, then he carefully observed the surroundings. Suddenly, Qiu Tie noticed something. He couldn't help but frown. Then he turned his head to Zhao Hai. He didn't know if Zhao Hai noticed, so he didn't dare say anything.
Zhao Hai also noticed Qiu Tie's expression. He was puzzled and asked, "What happened, Little Tie? What did you find? "
When Qiu Tie heard Zhao Hai's question, he immediately replied, "Young Master, the trees around the town are somewhat strange. It seems like they haven't been taken care of for a long time. But when these trees were planted, they were very particular. Look at those trees."
When Zhao Hai heard Qiu Tie, he couldn't help but stare. Then he focused his attention on the trees and quickly discovered something different. These trees were very strange. At first glance, they didn't seem to be anything special. But when you look carefully, you can see that the distance between the trees was very particular. Most importantly, these trees were made up of different species. The entire town seemed to be surrounded by trees, but there were more than a dozen types of trees surrounding the town. This was very strange.
What surprised Zhao Hai even more was that he couldn't recognize all of these trees. This made Zhao Hai frown.
At this time, Qiu Tie said, "Young Master, my grandfather likes to play with flowers and plants. He also knows about some trees and herbs. I've been with him for a long time, so I also know a lot of trees. I also have some knowledge about gardening. Young Master, pay attention to the trees. Although the trees around the town aren't very precious, when they are combined together, they produce a faint smell. This smell has no effect on people, but it is very useful for beasts. Beasts have more sensitive noses compared to humans, so this smell would make them very uncomfortable. Therefore, most of the beasts wouldn't come to this town."
Speaking up to here, Qiu Tie stopped, then he continued, "Moreover, the location of these trees is very special. These trees haven't been taken care of in recent years. If they were taken care of, then the trees wouldn't be this tall. If the trees were maintained at a height of three to five meters, then the beasts would be dazzled when they enter the forest. Even if a Cultivator enters the forest, it would take them a long time to come out. This is a kind of visual deception in gardening."
Zhao Hai nodded, his expression became dignified. He looked around the town and said, "The trees around the town aren't destroyed, but the people here were killed by the beasts. It seems like there's a problem here."
Qiu Tie nodded and didn't say anything. Zhao Hai looked at Qiu Tie and couldn't help but smile faintly, "Right, Little Tie, don't just think about cultivation in the future. You should also learn something else. A Cultivator who only knows about cultivation, although he is very strong, he would still suffer a lot outside. Also, if you discover anything in the future, don't worry about me blaming you."
When Qiu Tie heard Zhao Hai, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master, I understand."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at the town with suspicion. In the beginning, the Tyrant's Blade Sect didn't suspect anything about this town. Therefore, they only did a simple investigation of the small tree and then let it go. This time, they were hoping to find some clues.
However, Zhao Hai's hopes weren't very high. After all, this town had been abandoned for a long time. The Ghost Cultivators shouldn't have returned to this place, because that would be too risky.
They stayed outside the town for an entire day. During this time, Laura and the others were inside the carriage analyzing the situation. Zhao Hai didn't stay inside the carriage all the time. He led Qiu Tie around the town and carefully observed the situation outside. At the same time, he also observed the situation inside the town from different angles.
In the evening, when Zhao Hai led Qiu Tie back to the carriage, Laura and the others were already done with their work. When they saw that Zhao Hai had returned, Laura immediately led Zhao Hai to the living room of the carriage. On the living room's table, there was a computer that could display a three-dimensional image.
Laura pointed to the three-dimensional image of the town and said, "Brother Hai, you guessed right. Although this town doesn't have a magic formation, the houses are very special. If someone really attacks this town, these houses will be like a maze, making it impossible to find the direction. It's very suitable for street battles. In other words, although this town looks very ordinary on the outside, it's actually prepared for battle." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Brother Hai, you guessed right. Although this town doesn't have a magic formation, the houses in this town are very special. If someone really attacks this town, these houses will be like a maze.
Lizzy added, "Inside the town, there are several hidden escape routes. I'm afraid that those who aren't from the town wouldn't be able to find them." Then Lizzy pointed at the three-dimensional image of the town. Immediately, several red lines appeared on the three-dimensional image. When Zhao Hai saw these red lines, he couldn't help but be startled.
These red lines crisscrossed through the town. Some of these lines even passed through the courtyard. From the outside, some of these places looked like dead ends. Who would've thought that these were actually escape routes.
Zhao Hai knit his brows and said, "It seems like this is a base that the Ghost Cultivators have been operating for many years. Would they easily give up on such a base? It seems impossible. Let's go to the town yesterday and take a look. I want to see what the Ghost Cultivators are up to. "
Laura replied, "I don't think that the Ghost Cultivators would easily give up on such a base. Look at this place, although no one has lived here for a long time, the rooms are still in good condition. There are very few Devils who would visit this place. Normally, people would live here, but it's still deserted. This makes me think that the situation here might be related to the Ghost Cultivators. They might want to keep this place for future use."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Although this place is still under the control of the Tyrant's Blade Sect, it's still in the periphery. The Tyrant's Blade Sect's control over this place isn't very strict. There are very few Tyrant's Blade Sect Cultivators who would come here. This means that this place might have become a base for the Ghost Cultivators. Therefore, it's very possible that the Ghost Cultivators would keep this town for future use."
