A white light flashed before everyone's eyes. Then they smelled the fragrance of the earth as well as the smell of sunlight. They hadn't smelled this smell for a long time. Although there was light in the underground world, there wasn't the smell of sunlight. In the past, they enjoyed the sunlight every day and didn't take it seriously. But now that they lost the sunlight, they realized the benefits of sunlight.
Everyone looked around and discovered that they were in a plain. The place they were in was actually a large transmission formation. However, this transmission formation seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
Everyone looked around in confusion. Deng Wen looked around before he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, where are we? How come I don't think I've been here before? "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "When I went out last time, I saw the ruins of a sect. This sect was destroyed by the Ghost Cultivators. In the ruins, there was a large transmission formation. But at that time, the transmission formation was broken. So I repaired it and prepared to use it if I had the chance. I didn't expect to use it this time. This place can be said to be the domain of the Devil Cultivators. But since there's no spatial imprisonment formation here, you can use the transmission formation to return to your sect."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, everyone felt relieved. However, the way they looked at Zhao Hai was different. In this operation, Zhao Hai could be said to be the most outstanding existence among them. They were now envious of him.
Long Xiang looked at everyone and sighed softly. He didn't know if this operation was a success or a failure for them. If it was a success, it was indeed the first time they lost so many people in the underground world. It really couldn't be considered a success.
To say that it was a failure wasn't necessarily the case. This was because their operation this time was the one with the most gains. It couldn't be considered a failure. In the end, it was hard to say whether it was a success or a failure.
However, for Long Xiang, this operation was indeed a failure. This was because Long Xiang had offended Zhao Hai. This was the biggest failure of the operation.
However, Prime Minister Long also knew that this wasn't the time to think about these things. He still had a lot of things to do. Prime Minister Long coughed, attracting everyone's attention. Then he said, "Everyone, we've arrived home. I think everyone wants to go home as soon as possible. Then everyone can go home now. The rewards will be given to you later, so please don't worry about it." Prime Minister Long coughed, attracting everyone's attention.
When everyone heard Minister Long's words, they all responded with a loud bang. Then, they cupped their fists towards Minister Long and turned around to leave. Only Minister Long, the Long Family's disciples and the Tyrant's Blade School's disciples didn't leave.
Long Xiang looked at the Long Family's disciples, then looked at the Tyrant's Blade School's disciples, then he said, "Everyone, we have to go back and report. Right, Little Hai, are you going to the Long Family or the Tyrant's Blade School?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I ask Elder to forgive me. My wife and the others have already returned to the Tyrant's Blade School. I want to see them first before returning to the Long Family."
Minister Long nodded and said, "Alright, you can go back whenever you want. The Long Family's door will always be open for you."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, Zhao Hai understands." Minister Long cupped his fists towards Deng Wen before he led the Long Family's disciples away.
Deng Wen looked at the place where Minister Long and the others disappeared and coldly snorted, "This Old Xiang is getting more and more outrageous."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Forget it, Elder Deng. Elder Long also has his own difficulties. Let's go back."
Deng Wen nodded, then he said, "Alright, let's go back and take a look. This time, we owe the True Dao Sect a big favor. We have to find a way to repay this favor."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, the people from the True Dao Sect unconditionally supported us this time. No matter what their purpose is, we should repay them."
Deng Wen nodded and said, "Let's go back and talk about it. The Tyrant's Blade School has always repaid kindness with kindness and hatred with kindness. If someone helped us, we would repay them. If someone schemed against us, then we wouldn't be polite."
Zhao Hai understood what Deng Wen meant. This time, the Tyrant's Blade School, the Imperial Beast Sect, and the Peerless Sword Faction had plotted against them. It would be strange if the Tyrant's Blade School didn't take revenge.
Seeing that it was getting late, Deng Wen turned to the group and said, "Alright, let's go back to the sect." Everyone responded and then activated the transmission formation on their bodies and returned to the sect.
After returning to the sect, they gave a simple greeting before returning to their own residences. Zhao Hai also returned to his courtyard where Laura and the others were waiting for him. Besides Laura and the others, the Yin-yang Elders were also present.
Laura and the others were originally in the Long Family's residence. But when Long Xiang attacked Zhao Hai, they immediately returned to the Tyrant's Blade School. Although this might make the Long Family suspect that Zhao Hai was related to them, they didn't care. They knew that if they didn't do this, then the Long Family would turn hostile and Laura and the others would be in danger. Therefore, Laura and the others immediately left the Long Family's residence and returned to the Tyrant's Blade School.
Seeing that Zhao Hai had returned safely, Lao and the others relaxed. After Zhao Hai gave the Yin-yang Elders a salute, he returned to the living room with the two elders. After everyone was seated, Elder Yin opened his mouth and said, "Little Hai, how was it? Did the operation go smoothly?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Fortunately, nothing too dangerous happened. Only an accident happened at noon …" Then Zhao Hai told the Yin-yang Elders everything that happened in the Underworld.
When the Yin-yang Elders heard that Zhao Hai was plotted against by the Tyrant Sword Sect, their eyes couldn't help but narrow. Elder Yang coldly snorted and said, "It seems like the Tyrant Sword Sect didn't learn their lesson. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to deal with you. Their courage isn't small."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Looking at the Tyrant Sword Sect's actions, I know that they wouldn't be able to grow any further. They can no longer be a threat to us."
Elder Yin looked at Zhao Hai in confusion and said, "Oh, Little Hai, why do you say that?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "The Tyrant Sword Sect was supposed to be an unparalleled hegemon. But look at them now, they don't have any domineering aura. They have a lot of crafty plots and machinations, but their domineering aura has long since disappeared."
When Elder Yin heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You can't say that. Everyone knows how to scheme, even us. Cultivators are all like this." Zhao Hai smiled and said, "You can't say that.
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Everyone can use schemes and machinations, but it depends on when and how they are used. The Tyrant Sword Sect's scheme this time wasn't very good. At that time, we were still in the underground world, we weren't out of danger yet. If they were to scheme at that time, they would've gotten themselves into trouble. Moreover, their scheme was too obvious. Even if Elder Long Xiang didn't see through their scheme at that time, he would've thought about it later. Although they caused a conflict between me and the Long Family, Elder Long Xiang would still hold a grudge against them.
Elder Yin couldn't help but nod, then he said, "This time, the Tyrant Sword Sect really went too far. It's time to teach them a lesson."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Although the Tyrant Sword Sect's scheme wasn't very good, we were still able to see some things from it."
Elder Yin looked puzzled at Zhao Hai and said, "Some things? What things? "
Zhao Hai replied, "An alliance. Right now, the Hegemon Sword Sect, the Imperial Beast Sect, and the Peerless Sword Faction seem to want to form an alliance. If they form an alliance, then the threat to us would be even greater."
When the Yin-yang Elders heard Zhao Hai, their complexion couldn't help but turn solemn. They also agreed with Zhao Hai. If the Tyrant Sword Sect, the Imperial Beast Sect, and the Peerless Sword Sect really formed an alliance, then the strength of their alliance would be able to suppress the Tyrant's Blade Sect and the Truth Dao Sect. At that time, whether it was the Tyrant's Blade Sect or the Truth Dao Sect, they wouldn't have an easy time.
Seeing that the two were silent, Zhao Hai continued, "But we also have an advantage, and that is our relationship with the Long Family. I'm now a member of the Long Family. The Long Family has wronged me in this operation, so I think they will certainly compensate me. If we take this opportunity to discuss with the Long Family and form an alliance with them, then there's a high chance that we will succeed." Zhao Hai nodded.
The Yin-yang Elders' eyes couldn't help but light up. The Long Family used to rule the entire Real Spiritual World. Even if it wasn't as powerful as it used to be, its foundation was so deep that no other sect could compare to it. If they could really form an alliance with the Long Family, then the benefits for the Tyrant's Blade School would be too great.
Zhao Hai looked at the Yin Yang Elders and said, "But even if we can form an alliance with the Long Family, it would be a secret alliance. The Long Family wouldn't openly acknowledge our alliance. If the Long Family does so, then they would lose their status in the continent. I don't think the Long Family would do that. Therefore, they might form an alliance with us, but it would be a secret alliance, it would never be made public." The Yin Yang Elders nodded.
Although the Yin-yang Elders were somewhat disappointed, they had to admit that Zhao Hai was right. The reason why the Long Family could still exist after losing their status in the continent was because of their transcendent status. They wouldn't form an alliance with other sects, nor would they care about the enmity between two sects. They treated all sects the same. This was the only way for people to trust them.
If the Long Family were to form an alliance with other sects one day, then their transcendent status would disappear. They would then become an ordinary force in the Spiritual World. This wasn't necessarily a good thing for the Long Family.
Of course, with the current strength of the Long family, no one would easily provoke them. However, it was impossible for them to mingle with any cultivator alliance like they were doing now.
However, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing for the Long Family. The main thing was to see if the Long Family was ambitious. If they were, then forming an alliance would be a good thing. If they weren't, then forming an alliance would be a bad thing.
