A white light flashed as a group of people appeared in a valley. This valley was very secluded and wasn't small. However, there were already a lot of people standing in the valley.
This group of people were all dressed in black and had sabers on their bodies. Their weapons were all sabers, but the style of their sabers was somewhat different.
The leader was a man in his forties. This man was very tall, about two meters tall. He had a red face and red hair. His eyes were shining like a knife. Anyone who looked at him would unconsciously look away. On his back, he carried a large blade. This was a ghost head blade. The blade was thick and the blade was red. It was as red as blood and exuded a biting cold murderous aura. At first glance, one could tell that this was a fierce blade.
Everyone in the valley knew that these people were from the Tyrant's Saber School. Although there were only about fifty of them, they were still a force that couldn't be underestimated.
At this time, a person walked towards them from the valley. When he was about five steps away from the Tyrant's Saber School, he stopped. Then he cupped his fist towards the leader and said, "I have seen Elder Deng Wen. This one is Zhao Hai. I'm also here to participate in this operation. I'm waiting for Elder Deng's orders."
Deng Wen looked at Zhao Hai and chuckled, "I didn't expect you to participate this time. Good, return to the group." Zhao Hai nodded. Then he gave a salute to the Tyrant's Saber School's cultivators behind Deng Wen. Then he turned around and walked behind the leader.
Deng Wen looked at the other people in the valley. Almost all the people from the eighty-one great sects were here. The Long Family had also sent someone. Of course, the person sent by the Long Family was not Long Dingtian. With Long Dingtian's status, it was impossible for him to participate in such an operation.
This time, the Long Family sent out an elder of the Long Family, a Vajra Realm cultivator. Vajra Realm cultivators were considered experts in the True Spirit World.
After a while, several groups of people arrived through the transmission formation. At this time, the Elder of the Long Family saw that almost everyone had arrived, so he opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, some of you are old acquaintances of mine. This isn't the first time I've done this. Naturally, there are also some people who don't know me. Alright, I'll introduce myself. My name is Long Xiang, please remember my name because I'll be your commander in the future. If there's anyone who isn't convinced, you can speak up now."
If you have any objections, then I'll be your commander. "The people in the valley stared. They didn't think that Long Xiang would make such a move. Only those who had been in contact with Long Xiang before didn't have any reaction. Long Xiang was like this, but you have to admit that his ability to command was very strong. Moreover, his strength was also very strong.
After a long silence, Long Xiang continued, "I've already given everyone a chance. If you don't speak, then it means that you've already acknowledged my leadership. So I ask everyone to listen to my orders. If anyone dares to disobey my orders, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Moreover, I guarantee that if you disobey my orders, then I'll kill you. Your sects absolutely won't take revenge for you." Long Xiang nodded, "I've already given everyone a chance.
Still, nobody made a sound. However, everyone's heart was somewhat cold. To be honest, Long Xiang's words had shaken everyone.
Deng Wen looked at Long Xiang and didn't make a sound. However, his eyes had a playful smile. He had cooperated with Long Xiang more than once or twice. He was very clear that Long Xiang was a man of his words. The number of people who died in his hands wasn't small. Moreover, these people died in vain, nobody would avenge them. However, Deng Wen and Long Xiang's temperament was very good. The two of them had a very pleasant cooperation before. Therefore, Deng Wen didn't take Long Xiang's threats to heart.
When Dragon Xiang saw that no one was speaking, he continued, "The people from the various sects have arrived. Since you all have a leader, I won't say anything more. Everyone, take good care of your people. My orders will be passed down to the leaders. If something happens to your sect, then I will directly take the leader's life. Therefore, all leaders, take good care of your people. If someone makes a mistake, then the first one to suffer will be you." Dragon Xiang nodded, then said, "Alright. These words were very overbearing. Many sect leaders had a displeased look on their faces. However, Zhao Hai didn't have any reaction. This was because he was very clear that Long Xiang was right.
Although there were only a thousand people in the valley, these thousand people came from dozens of different forces. For example, the Tyrant's Blade Sect to send fifty people at once was already considered a lot.
But these forces weren't so peaceful. Some of them had enmity with each other. For example, the Tyrant's Blade Sect, the Imperial Beast Sect, the Hegemon Sword Sect, and now the Peerless Sword Faction.
If Long Xiang wanted these people to completely obey his orders, he had to be tough. This time, they were going deep into the enemy's territory. If they were not careful, they might be surrounded by ghost cultivators. Then, they would be in danger of being completely wiped out. Therefore, Long Xiang had to use tough means to suppress all the voices of opposition. He had to make the entire thousand-man team listen to only one voice, and that was his voice. Only in this way could they possibly come back alive from the underground world.
But Long Xiang couldn't pass the order to every cultivator. He could only pass the order to the leaders. The reason why he said that if anyone made a mistake, then he would look for the leader to settle the account was to make the leaders take good care of their people.
Seeing that nobody was speaking, Long Xiang continued, "The rules are finished. Everyone, take good care of your people. We're going." Then Long Xiang walked towards a mountain wall at the side of the valley. It looked like an ordinary mountain wall with moss growing on it. There was nothing special about it.
But after Long Xiang stopped there, he immediately placed his hand on the mountain wall. Then a yellow light flashed on his hand. Then he roared as his figure flew back. Along with his retreat, a huge rock was pulled out from the mountain wall. This rock was five meters tall, three meters wide, and ten meters thick. It was impossible for ordinary people to pull it out.
But what surprised Zhao Hai was that although the mountain wall was pulled out, there weren't any stones falling down. The other parts of the mountain wall weren't damaged. In other words, as long as the rock was put back in the cave, then the mountain wall would be restored to its original state. There wouldn't be any damage.
At this time, Long Xiang had already put down the boulder. He turned to look at the crowd and said, "Everyone, follow me." After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the cave. The others followed behind him and entered in a single file.
The cave was very dark, there wasn't any light. Moreover, it was very humid. The ground was also covered with moss. It wasn't a good place to walk. But fortunately, everyone's cultivation wasn't weak. Even if the ground was very wet, no one was left behind.
Zhao Hai followed behind everyone. He kept a low profile all the way. He didn't take the lead, nor was he the last. He just followed the Tyrant's Blade School's group.
The cave was like a spiral staircase. They went all the way down. As they went deeper and deeper into the ground, the surrounding temperature began to drop. However, Zhao Hai and the others had already reached the point where they couldn't be affected by the cold and heat. Naturally, this change in temperature didn't affect them.
As Zhao Hai moved forward, he observed the cave. He discovered that some parts of the cave had traces of artificial excavation, while some parts were naturally formed. It seems like this cave was chosen by the Long Family and then repelled. It led directly to the underground world.
Long Dingtian said that they had been fighting against the Ghost Cultivators for a long time. It seems like this was true. However, Zhao Hai didn't believe that the Long Family was fighting against the Ghost Cultivators for the sake of the people in the Real Spiritual World. The Ghost Cultivators wanted to get rid of the Long Family. The Long Family also knew that if they didn't eliminate the Ghost Cultivators, then the Long Family would never have a day of peace. Because of this, they were constantly fighting against the Ghost Cultivators.
The reason why the Great Sects were fighting against the Ghost Cultivators was because of what the Ghost Cultivators had done. When the Long Family suddenly collapsed, the Ghost Cultivators flourished. The entire Real Spiritual World was shrouded in the shadow of the Ghost Cultivators. At that time, the Real Spiritual World was really filled with cold winds and ghosts.
At that time, the Great Sects were pressured by the Ghost Cultivators. The Ghost Cultivators could be said to be running amok in the Real Spiritual World. In this case, the Great Sects naturally had to resist.
However, the strength of the Great Sects at that time wasn't enough to deal with the Ghost Cultivators. After a period of recuperation, the Long Family took the initiative to send people to contact the Great Sects. With the help of the Great Sects, they defeated the Ghost Cultivators and drove them to the underground world. What followed was an endless battle.
When Zhao Hai returned to the Tyrant's Blade Sect a few days ago, he learned about this from the Yin-yang Elders. The Tyrant's Blade Sect was a sect with a long history. They also had some records about this matter. Although the records weren't very complete, it still allowed Zhao Hai to have some understanding of the history.
The underground world that the Ghost Cultivators were currently in was discovered by the founder of the Ghost Cultivators, the genius disciple of the Long Family. As for how he discovered the underground world, the Tyrant's Blade Sect didn't have any information.
However, the Tyrant's Blade Sect still had some records about the underground world. The underground world was about ten thousand meters deep. There were very few entrances and exits, and they were all heavily guarded by the Ghost Cultivators. Naturally, there was no vision in the underground world. However, there was still a light source. The underground world had a kind of fire pillar. This kind of fire pillar was like a torch. It was everywhere in the underground world, illuminating the entire place.
The most peculiar thing was that in the underground world, the Earth Fire Pillar would sometimes extinguish. When the Earth Fire Pillar extinguishes, it would be night time in the underground world. When the Earth Fire Pillar lights up, it would be daytime in the underground world.
In the underground world, even if it was night time, there would still be some light. There was also a kind of fire bug in the underground world. When it was night time, these fire bugs would emit bursts of red light. They looked like stars.
Because of the fire pillars, the underground world wasn't cold. It was even hotter than the surface. The Ghost Cultivators in the underground world would grow food that was unique to the underground world as well as raise some unique beasts to survive. All the souls of those who died in the underground world would be used by the Ghost Cultivators for cultivation. Their corpses would then be placed on the fire pillars to be cremated. In the words of the people in the underground world, they were worshipping the Fire God.
Because of the special living environment in the underground world, there were some Humanoids. These Humanoids were very short. According to the records of the Tyrant's Blade Sect, Zhao Hai felt that these Humanoids should be similar to the Goblins that Zhao Hai was familiar with. These Humanoids were the natives of the underground world.
However, not only were these Humanoids short, they were also very weak. There was no one to teach them how to cultivate. Therefore, after the Ghost Cultivators moved in, these Humanoids were reduced to slaves. Their fate was very similar to that of the Ghost Cultivators of the True Spiritual Realm. Sometimes, the Ghost Cultivators would kill them in batches and extract their souls for cultivation. They were even more miserable than the people of the True Spiritual Realm. After all, these Humanoids didn't know any martial arts. They couldn't even resist. If it weren't for the Humanoids' strong reproductive ability, they would have already been killed by the Ghost Cultivators.
To be honest, when he saw these contents, Zhao Hai really sympathized with these Humanoids. This was because Zhao Hai could see that although the Tyrant's Blade Sect also recorded the lives of these Humanoids, Zhao Hai could see that the Tyrant's Blade Sect didn't have any sympathy for them. Perhaps in the eyes of the Tyrant's Blade Sect, these Humanoids couldn't be considered as humans. They were just demon beasts that looked like humans, just like monkeys. You might feel uncomfortable killing a human, you might even be unable to do it. But if you were to ask you to kill a monkey, you might not have any psychological burden.
On the other hand, which Cultivator didn't have a heart of stone? They would kill humans without hesitation, so they didn't have any sympathy for the Humanoids. If it weren't for the Ghost Cultivators wanting to kill Cultivators, then the Great Sects wouldn't be hostile to them.
Cultivators' cultivation was to fight against the heavens, the earth, and people. It belonged to stealing the secrets of the heavens and going against the heavens. Cultivators could use things that were useful for their cultivation. Of course, ordinary righteous sects wouldn't turn people into cultivation materials, but some evil cultivators and devil cultivators didn't care about this.
Cultivators could become cultivation materials for other Cultivators, let alone the Humanoids. In the eyes of other Cultivators, using Humanoids as cultivation materials wasn't a big deal.
Zhao Hai wanted to change the fate of the Humanoids. This was because he had a lot of Humanoids in the Space, and Zhao Hai had always treated them equally. Because of this, he didn't want the Humanoids to be treated like livestock. He didn't want them to be killed and have their souls extracted by the Space.
However, Zhao Hai also knew that it was impossible for him to change the fate of these Humanoids with his current strength. Even if he could bring some Humanoids to the Space, he would only be able to change the fate of a portion of them. If he didn't do it well, then he might even expose the existence of the Space. Because of this, Zhao Hai could only endure for now.
