Long Xiang led the group to the resting place that Zhao Hai found. When they saw what Zhao Hai found, they couldn't help but stare. What Zhao Hai found was a cave. It didn't look big on the outside, but it was very spacious inside. Originally, there was a snake-shaped beast inside the cave, but this beast had already been killed by Zhao Hai. Therefore, the cave now belonged to them. The cave was very dry, making it suitable for resting.
Long Xiang looked at the cave, then he nodded and said, "Good, good. Everyone can rest here. Liu Zhen, take ten people outside to be on guard."
A female cultivator complied, then she led several people outside. This woman was one of the few female cultivators in this operation. Moreover, she was the captain of a large sect. The sect that Liu Zhen belonged to was called the Hidden Cloud Sect.
The Hidden Cloud Sect was famous for their stealth. This sect was famous for their assassination. Their stealth technique was absolutely the best in the True Spirit World. Therefore, it was most suitable for them to be on guard outside.
After Liu Zhen left the cave, Long Xiang turned his head to the others and said, "Everyone, eat something and take a good rest. Keep yourself in your best condition. We'll be staying on the mountain for a few days, so we can encounter unexpected situations at any time. Therefore, we must be careful."
Zhao Hai returned to the Tyrant's Blade School's team. After Long Xiang finished explaining things, he went to the Tyrant's Blade School's team and called Zhao Hai over. Then Long Xiang said to Zhao Hai, "Little Zhao Hai, you did a good job today. The road ahead will be handed over to you. However, you must be careful. This area is frequented by Ghost Cultivators. Be careful not to be discovered by them."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, Elder can rest assured."
Long Xiang nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "In our Long Family, everyone is ranked according to their contribution to the family. The greater your contribution to the family, the higher your rank, the more cultivation resources you can get, and at the same time, the more profound cultivation methods you can learn. As long as you do a good job in exploring the family, your rank will certainly rise when you return. If you can become the family's chosen prime minister, then your future will be limitless."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Yes. Thank you for your reminder, Elder. As for the rest, I can already obtain all the cultivation resources I want from the Tyrant's Blade School. I already have enough. What I need to do now is to cultivate step by step."
Long Xiang looked at Zhao Hai and faintly smiled, "Good boy, it seems like these things really can't attract you. But you can rest assured, my Long Family has a lot of good things, you will surely be tempted. The Long Family never mistreats those who have rendered meritorious service."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Then I'll have to thank Elder first."
Long Xiang smiled bitterly, he can see that Zhao Hai really didn't care about these things. Even he didn't have this kind of calm mentality, let alone others.
After Long Xiang said a few more words to Zhao Hai, he gathered the captains of the various sects and held a small meeting. Especially the captains who had participated in the operation, they discussed what the target of this operation should be.
At this time, a cloud of smoke suddenly rose from the cave. Then Liu Zhen appeared in the smoke. Liu Zhen immediately said to Long Xiang, "Old Xiang, I discovered a group of ghost cultivators. They seem to be here for training."
Long Xiang narrowed his eyes and said, "How many people are there? Can we hide from them? "
Liu Zhen shook his head and said, "About fifty people, I'm afraid we can't hide. Their goal seems to be this cave."
Upon hearing Liu Zhen, Long Xiang couldn't help but stare. Zhao Hai also stared. He didn't think that the cave he chose would become the target of these ghost cultivators. Then his complexion changed as he said, "Elder, we should leave immediately."
Long Xiang and the others stared. Long Xiang looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Why do we have to leave? The other party only has fifty people, we can deal with them. "
Zhao Hai replied, "Elder, this place isn't very far from the mountain pass. The reason why a group of Ghost Cultivators came here is because they were organized. This means that they must have a purpose. Before they came here, they must've told others where they went. If a group of 50 people mysteriously disappeared from the cave, then the Ghost Cultivators would certainly be suspicious. If they send people to search for us, then it's very likely that they would find us. If that happens, then we would be chased by the entire Underground World. This would cause our mission to fail." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
Long Xiang stared, then his complexion changed. He pondered for a moment and said, "That's reasonable. Alright, everyone pack up and prepare to leave."
Zhao Hai said, "Elder, you leave first. I'll make arrangements here. We won't let those people know that we've been resting here."
Long Xiang looked at Zhao Hai, then he nodded and said, "Alright, we'll leave this place to you. We'll wait for you ten li ahead. Hurry up." Zhao Hai nodded, then Long Xiang immediately led his people to leave. When Deng Wen was about to leave, he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "You can use the sword token if necessary. Even if you're discovered, you must protect your own life."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, Elder can rest assured. I haven't lived long enough." Deng Wen patted Zhao Hai's shoulder, then he turned around and left. Only the people who followed Zhao Hai to explore the cave were still standing beside him.
Zhao Hai looked at the people, then he smiled faintly and said, "Everyone, wait for me here. I'll be ready soon." Then Zhao Hai waved his hand, causing all the dust in the cave to slowly gather in his hand. Before long, a dirt ball appeared in his hand. Then Zhao Hai threw the dirt ball forward.
The dirt ball stopped at the top of the cave. Then Zhao Hai turned to the other five people and said, "Let's go out." After saying that, he led the five people out of the cave. The earth ball in the cave exploded with a bang. Then, the dust slowly fell out of the cave as if it was being held by a hand. Moreover, the dust fell very evenly.
Zhao Hai looked at the cave. The inside of the cave was now covered in a layer of dust. The dust didn't fall for a long time, probably about three days. Only the dust in the corner was a bit thicker. If someone else saw the cave, they would think that the beast had already left. Moreover, it had already been three days.
The reason why Zhao Hai didn't make the dust thicker was because he was very clear that the other party was heading straight for the cave. They must have known that there was a beast inside the cave. They might even have had some dealings with the dragon-shaped beast not too long ago. If the dust in the cave was too thick, then the other party would suspect that someone deliberately made it like this. Therefore, Zhao Hai only sprinkled a thin layer of dust. He even made the dust thicker in some places and thinner in some places.
After looking at the situation inside the cave, Zhao Hai turned his head to look at the surroundings. Then he threw a few spells and cleaned up everyone's traces.
After doing all this, Zhao Hai turned his head to the others and said, "Let's go." The five people from the Long Family looked at Zhao Hai's actions. They only had one thought in their minds, Zhao Hai must have used this method to kill a lot of people in the past.
After they walked for a while, Zhao Hai stopped. Then he immediately used the Infinity Technique to erase the energy fluctuations left behind by his spells. Then he led the five people in the direction that Long Xiang and the others went.
Ten li was very easy for the group. Before long, they saw Long Xiang and the others. Long Xiang and the others had been waiting for Zhao Hai. Seeing that Zhao Hai had arrived, Long Xiang immediately greeted him and said, "How is it?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It's done, I can guarantee that there won't be any problems. Let's leave this place quickly. However, make sure to clean up all the traces we've left behind."
Long Xiang nodded and said, "Rest assured, I'll have someone do that. You go to the front to explore. Zhao Hai, can we move a bit faster today?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Rest assured, there won't be any problems." After he said that, Zhao Hai's figure flashed as he went to the front of the group. Zhao Hai didn't stop as he continued forward. The five people from the Long Family also followed closely behind Zhao Hai.
Long Xiang looked at Zhao Hai's back, his eyes flashed with approval as he said, "Let's go, no one should be left behind. Let's go." Then he moved forward.
During the day, their speed was very fast. Almost everyone used their movement techniques to move forward. Long Xiang also arranged a few people to clean up the traces behind them. These people's status wasn't low, they were old people who had been to the underground world several times. Long Xiang felt relieved to have such people in his team.
The day passed as they hurried along. Even at noon, they didn't stop to cultivate. At night, Zhao Hai found a place for everyone to rest for two hours. Then they continued on their way. Although their speed was a bit slower, they didn't encounter any danger.
After three days of continuous travel, Zhao Hai and the others didn't know how far they had travelled. However, Zhao Hai calculated that they had travelled about ten thousand li in these three days. What made Zhao Hai surprised was that they still hadn't left the mountain range. Wasn't this mountain range too long?
After three days of continuous travel, even if everyone's strength wasn't weak, they still felt very tired. Zhao Hai found a forest for everyone to rest.
While everyone was resting, Long Xiang called all the captains over. At the same time, he also called Zhao Hai. Although Zhao Hai's strength was the lowest among everyone, no one objected to Long Xiang's approach. In these three days, Zhao Hai had been scouting ahead. Everyone knew that scouting was the most dangerous. However, Zhao Hai was able to help everyone avoid all the demon beasts. In these three days, they didn't encounter any demon beasts. This was absolutely a miracle. It was precisely because of this that no one objected when Long Xiang called Zhao Hai over for a meeting.
After everyone gathered, Long Xiang opened his mouth and said, "In these three days, we have already traveled very far. It's time to leave the mountain. According to the map we obtained before, we can see that if we leave now, we will be in the territory of the Ghost Spirit Sect. The Ghost Spirit Sect is a medium-sized sect among ghost cultivators. However, their strength is also not bad. We only have a thousand people. Although we have a lot of experts, it is still a problem to deal with the Ghost Spirit Sect's main hall. If other ghost cultivators know that the Ghost Spirit Sect is attacked by us, they will definitely come to support us. Moreover, I don't want to attack the Ghost Spirit Sect right now because they are too close to the mountain. If those guys realize that we came out of the mountain, they will definitely think that we came out of the mountain. Therefore, my opinion is that we pass through the Ghost Spirit Sect's territory and attack the Ghost Shadow Sect behind the Ghost Spirit Sect. The Ghost Shadow Sect is also a medium-sized sect. Moreover, they seem to have some conflicts with the Ghost Spirit Sect. We won't attack the main hall of the Ghost Shadow Sect.
While speaking, Long Xiang took out an astrolabe and opened the map on the astrolabe. It was a three-dimensional map that showed a corner of the underground world. Long Xiang also deliberately enlarged the territory of the Ghost Spirit Sect and the Ghost Shadow Sect.
Zhao Hai and the others looked at the map. The others looked at the map while listening to Long Xiang's words. They all nodded and didn't say anything. Only Zhao Hai looked at the map and pondered.
Long Xiang quickly noticed Zhao Hai's expression. Long Xiang looked at Zhao Hai with a curious expression and said, "Little Zhao Hai, do you have an idea? Why don't you say it? Don't be afraid? "
When Zhao Hai heard Long Xiang's question, he didn't hide it and said, "I don't know which branch of the Ghost Shadow Gang is Elder planning to attack?"
Long Xiang looked at the map and pointed to a branch and said, "The people in this branch aren't very strong. We can deal with them in the shortest amount of time. According to our situation, if we want to deal with this branch, it wouldn't take more than an hour."
Zhao Hai looked at the branch and found that it wasn't close to the Ghost Spirit Sect. On the contrary, it was very far. However, from the map, this branch wasn't very big. They didn't have to worry about dealing with this branch. However, if Zhao Hai had to choose, he wouldn't move against this branch. This was because this branch was too small. Moreover, if they moved against this branch, the Ghost Cultivators would immediately know that it was them who did it. This wouldn't be good for their operation.
Long Xiang looked at Zhao Hai and saw that he had something to say. He couldn't help but curiously ask, "Little Hai, what do you want to say? Do you have something to say? Say it. As long as you're right, I won't blame you. "
Zhao Hai nodded, then he pointed at the branch that Long Xiang wanted to attack and said, "Elder, although this branch is very small, it's in the hinterland of the Ghost Shadow Sect. Although there aren't any experts there, the Ghost Cultivators would immediately think that we're here. They would certainly react, which would be disadvantageous to our future operations. Therefore, I think that we shouldn't attack this branch. First, it would expose us too early. Second, there wouldn't be any benefits. This branch doesn't have any experts, so even if we kill them, it wouldn't hurt the Ghost Shadow Sect's core. There's no meaning to it."
Hearing Zhao Hai, Long Xiang couldn't help but stare. He carefully looked at the map, then he frowned and said, "But this is the branch that we can deal with the fastest. If we attack the other branches, then it would take too long. If we attack the other branches, then the reinforcements from the Ghost Shadow Gang would arrive. If that happens, then we would be even more passive." Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at the map and frowned.
