Long Xiang's expression was calm as he flew forward. However, his heart wasn't calm at all. On the contrary, he was very angry. He wasn't angry at Zhao Hai. Although Zhao Hai was very polite to him, Long Xiang wasn't angry at Zhao Hai at all. This was because he felt that Zhao Hai was right. If he was leading the Long Family, then he would've already agreed with Zhao Hai.
But unfortunately, the people he led this time were the people from the 81 great sects. With these people present, it was impossible for him to make a decision. Each of these people represented a different force. After all, the Long Family wasn't a great clan that ruled the entire True Spirit Realm. He had to consider the opinions of these people.
Naturally, Long Xiang wasn't angry because of this. He was angry because the Hegemon Sword Sect actually dared to use him as a tool. In a place like the underground world, any mistake could lead to complete annihilation. But now, the Hegemon Sword Sect actually wanted to use him as a tool to deal with Zhao Hai. How could he endure this?
However, Long Xiang didn't say anything. He was now grateful to Zhao Hai. This was because when he made a move against Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai didn't get angry. On the contrary, he even reminded Long Xiang. This made Long Xiang very grateful to Zhao Hai.
Being grateful to Zhao Hai naturally made Long Xiang hate the Hegemon Sword Sect even more. At this time, Long Xiang began to think about how to deal with the Hegemon Sword Sect, the Imperial Beast Sect, and the Peerless Sword Faction.
Long Xiang already knew that these three sects had joined forces. Therefore, if he wanted to take revenge, then he would have to count the debts of these three sects.
The cultivators of the other sects also followed behind Long Xiang. Nobody made a sound. The cultivators of these sects also felt that something was wrong, but they didn't say anything.
After walking for about an hour, Long Xiang led the group to a forest to rest. After everyone sat down, Long Xiang called the leaders of the other sects to his side. Then he looked at them and said, "This is our opportunity. The Tyrant's Blade Sect and the Truth Dao Sect might use a portable transmission formation to leave. But once they use a portable transmission formation, they would be discovered by the ghost cultivators. As long as the ghost cultivators focus their attention on the Tyrant's Blade Sect, then our opportunity will come."
Upon hearing Long Xiang, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up. Long Xiang looked at these people and sneered in his heart. Naturally, he didn't think that Zhao Hai and the others would leave. This was because he had secretly communicated with Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai certainly wouldn't leave at this time. If Zhao Hai and the others didn't leave, then the ghost cultivators wouldn't be attracted to them. If what Zhao Hai said was true, then the ghost cultivators would have already discovered them and were waiting for them to fall into a net.
However, this was also good. Long Xiang could use the ghost cultivators to teach these guys a lesson. Especially the Hegemon Sword Sect, the Imperial Beast Sect, and the Peerless Sword Faction.
At this time, a cultivator opened his mouth and said, "Elder Long, have you thought about when we left the underground world?"
Long Xiang turned his head to look at the speaker and discovered that it was the Imperial Beast Sect's Elder. When Long Xiang saw that it was him who spoke, his expression couldn't help but change. He didn't think that the Hegemon Sword Sect and the other two sects would be shameless to this extent. One of them wanted to make things difficult for Zhao Hai, and after he offended Zhao Hai, another one stood up and asked him when he left. This was simply too shameless.
However, Long Xiang didn't bat an eyelid and said, "What's the hurry? Didn't Elder Lei say that the underground world is very chaotic right now? It's a good time for us to attack. Moreover, Zhao Hai and the others have left, attracting the ghost cultivators' attention. If we don't seize this opportunity, then how can we face the other sects?"
Upon hearing Long Xiang, the Imperial Beast Sect's Elder's expression couldn't help but change. He didn't think that Long Xiang would use these words against them. Even if he wanted to refute, he couldn't. This was because when Zhao Hai and Lei Jian were arguing, they didn't say anything. If they were to go back now, then it would be the same as telling others that their refutation of Zhao Hai was just a fart. They just wanted to use Long Xiang as a tool. When the time comes, they would certainly offend Long Xiang. When the time comes, they wouldn't have a good time.
The expressions of the people from the Hegemon Sword Sect also changed. They had planned to oppose Zhao Hai's proposal and make Zhao Hai and Long Xiang unhappy. Once the two sides had a conflict, they would come forward and propose to leave. At that time, the conflict between the two sides would have already occurred, and they wouldn't have any losses.
However, they didn't think that Zhao Hai would be this powerful. He actually went against Long Xiang and didn't even give Lei Jian any face. On the other hand, Deng Wen showed his full support for Zhao Hai. In the end, he led the people from the Hegemon Sword Sect to leave. The people from the Truth Dao Sect also followed suit. In this way, they were the ones who forced Zhao Hai to leave. If they insisted on returning to the True Spiritual Realm, then not only Long Xiang, but everyone else would also look down on them.
As soon as the others heard Long Xiang's words, a thoughtful expression appeared on their faces. Although they didn't see any interaction between the Hegemon Sword Sect and the Imperial Beast Sect, these two Sects had always been allies. Most importantly, these two Sects had enmity with Zhao Hai. They were also aware of the matter between Zhao Hai and the two Sects. Now that the Hegemon Sword Sect forced Zhao Hai to leave, the Imperial Beast Sect immediately asked Long Xiang when he would leave. Wasn't this clearly plotting against Zhao Hai? At the same time, this was also plotting against Long Xiang. No wonder Long Xiang was so impolite to the people from the Imperial Beast Sect.
Long Xiang glanced at the person from the Imperial Beast Sect and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, it's still early. Let's take a good rest here. We'll act at night. Our target this time is the Ghost Hand Sect's Little Finger Branch."
Everyone nodded and then turned around to rest. On the other hand, Long Xiang was still sitting there. His eyes were cold as he looked at the backs of Lei Jian and the others. Then he withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes.
At this time, Long Xiang suddenly heard a very soft rustling sound. Long Xiang stared for a moment before he discovered that the soil beneath him was rumbling. Then a bug drilled out of the soil.
Just as Long Xiang was about to make a move, he discovered that the bug had a piece of jade on its body. Moreover, this jade seemed to be a very simple transmission formation.
While Long Xiang was still in a daze, the bug had already placed the jade down. Then it drilled into the ground and disappeared. Long Xiang was puzzled as he picked up the jade and carefully looked at it. Suddenly, a white light flashed on the jade as a jade slip appeared on top of it. This jade slip wasn't very big. When Long Xiang saw this, he understood that this jade slip came from a good place. This was because he heard from Zhao Hai that he used bugs to investigate. It seems like this was the bug that was sent by Zhao Hai.
Long Xiang took the jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual force. After seeing the contents of the jade slip, Long Xiang's face couldn't help but show a smile.
Naturally, this jade slip was given to him by Zhao Hai. The contents of the jade slip were very simple. It told Long Xiang that they would meet them at the Ghost Hand Sect's branch.
Long Xiang put down the jade slip. In his heart, his impression of Zhao Hai increased. Compared to Zhao Hai, Lei Jian and the others were really lacking.
Although Long Xiang wanted to reply to Zhao Hai, he didn't have any way to do so. After thinking about this, Long Xiang couldn't help but sigh. Then he slowly closed his eyes as he began to think.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai and the others were currently rushing towards Ghost City. With Zhao Hai leading the way, their journey was very smooth. This time, the Truth Dao Sect and the Tyrant's Blade Sect only had 80 people, less than 100 people. The smaller the number, the smaller the target. Therefore, their journey was very smooth.
However, along the way, Zhao Hai was even more certain of his thoughts. This was because along the way, he encountered a lot of Ghost Cultivators. And these Ghost Cultivators were heading towards the place where they left. In other words, Zhao Hai's estimation was correct. These Ghost Cultivators had indeed discovered them and were preparing to surround them.
It wasn't only Zhao Hai who knew about this, the others were also aware of this. They had already discovered this long ago. In the past few days, they had been taking detours. However, nobody said anything. Needless to say, Deng Wen had complete trust in Zhao Hai. As for the others, they couldn't turn back and could only follow Zhao Hai. Most importantly, Zhao Hai had been acting as a pathfinder. Moreover, they didn't encounter any attacks along the way. This made everyone very confident in Zhao Hai.
After nearly five days of hurrying, Zhao Hai and the others finally arrived at the Phantom Branch Hall. And just like what Zhao Hai had said, there wasn't a single person in the Phantom Branch Hall. They could have a good rest here. The reason why Zhao Hai was so confident was because when they were attacking the Phantom Branch Hall, Zhao Hai had memorized the terrain of this place. Therefore, he was very clear about the situation here. Because of this, Zhao Hai was so confident in leading these people here.
And in these five days, Zhao Hai and the others weren't always hurrying. From time to time, Zhao Hai would kill one or two Ghost Cultivators to understand the situation here.
Just like what Zhao Hai had thought, two days before they arrived at the Phantom Branch Hall, there was finally news from the Ghost Cultivators of the underground world. Some Ghost Cultivators discovered the traces of Long Xiang and the others. Both sides had a fierce battle. In the end, Long Zhan and the others left behind dozens of corpses and ran away.
But then another news came, saying that Long Xiang and the others were already surrounded and couldn't escape. And when they heard this news, Zhao Hai and the others were still one day away from arriving at the Phantom Branch Hall. However, Zhao Hai didn't intend to save Long Xiang and the others. He knew that Long Xiang and the others weren't in any danger right now. Now, they had to prepare a way out.
Because of this, when Zhao Hai and the others arrived at the Phantom Branch Hall, Zhao Hai and the others didn't have time to rest. They immediately began to prepare the transmission array. At the same time, they also needed to prepare a defensive formation. Because even if it was a fixed transmission array, if the energy fluctuations in the surroundings were too complicated, or if someone used a powerful space confinement formation, then even if it was a fixed transmission array, there was no way to use it. Therefore, Zhao Hai and the others had to prepare a lot of things.
