The most dangerous place was also the safest place. Zhao Hai was very clear about this. At the same time, Zhao Hai was also aware of this principle. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't want to waste too much time in Lijiang City. He wanted to go to a big city controlled by the Oyun Sect. Not only would he be able to receive more missions there, he would also be able to obtain more information.
Zhao Hai looked at Ma Long and Liu Cai, then he said, "You don't need to be surprised. Although the Oyun Sect's big city seems to be very dangerous, as long as we are careful, it wouldn't necessarily be that dangerous. Don't forget the phrase 'darkness under the lamp'. As long as we don't deliberately inquire about the Oyun Sect, I believe that nothing will happen to us. Master also said that protecting our own lives is the most important thing. Therefore, we don't need to worry."
Ma Long and Liu Cai's complexion changed several times. In the end, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Then they cupped their fists towards Zhao Hai and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, we'll leave everything to you." The two had no choice but to listen to Zhao Hai. Although they didn't want to go to a big city controlled by the Oyun Sect, Wei Tiande said that if they don't listen to Zhao Hai, then Wei Tiande would take their lives.
Zhao Hai looked at the two and didn't say anything. He just said, "We don't want to stay in Riverdeep City, but we also don't want to offend the gangs here. So tomorrow, I'll go visit the gangs here and explain the situation to them." Zhao Hai looked at the two and didn't say anything.
The two nodded, then Zhao Hai said, "Alright, then I'll have to ask Senior Brothers to go to the Mission Hall tomorrow. See if there are any missions that can lead us to a city under the control of the Unallowed Sect. It would be best if we can team up with others. This way, we can do the mission safely." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll ask Senior Brothers to go to the Mission Hall tomorrow.
The two nodded. Then Zhao Hai said a few more words to the two. After that, the two left Zhao Hai's room and returned to their own rooms.
Seeing the two leave, Zhao Hai returned to his bedroom and took out a small transmission formation. Then he took out a jade slip and wrote down everything that happened today. Then he placed the jade slip on top of the transmission formation and activated it. With a flash of white light, the jade slip on top of the transmission formation disappeared.
This transmission formation was given to Zhao Hai by Wei Tiande. It was used by Zhao Hai to send messages to him. Because of this, Zhao Hai told Wei Tiande about everything that happened today.
After sending a message to Wei Tiande, Zhao Hai took out a small transmission formation and wrote down his situation. Then he sent it out. Then he did the same thing and took out another transmission formation. After sending out the transmission formation, Zhao Hai relaxed. Then he sat cross-legged on his bed and closed his eyes. At the same time, he contacted Laura and the others.
The reason why Zhao Hai did the same thing three times was because he wanted to tell three people about his situation. The first was Wei Tiande, the second was the Yin Yang Elders, and the third was Long Dingtian.
Zhao Hai had already returned to the Underworld. He didn't expect the Battle Corpse Sect to send him back to the True Spirit Realm. Naturally, Zhao Hai wanted to tell the Yin Yang Elders about this. As for Long Dingtian, Zhao Hai told Long Dingtian that he went to the Underworld. Now that he was back, it was natural for him to tell Long Dingtian. Moreover, with the Long Family's strength, it wasn't impossible for them to secretly help him.
Zhao Hai's position in the Battle Corpse Sect wasn't low. However, he still lacked a few big contributions. If he can make a few big contributions to the sect, then the people in the sect wouldn't doubt him.
The more stable his position in the Battle Corpse Sect was, the more help he would provide to the Long Family and the Tyrant's Blade School. Because of this, Zhao Hai told the Long Family and the Tyrant's Blade School about his return to the True Spirit Realm. He hoped that these two forces would help him when necessary, allowing him to smoothly complete this mission.
In fact, Zhao Hai could complete this mission right now. However, he couldn't tell Wei Tiande right now. The True Spirit Realm might be in chaos. The Devil and Evil Dao would join forces to deal with the Righteous Dao Alliance. As long as he told this to Wei Tiande, he believed that he would be able to make a big contribution.
But because of Ma Long and Liu Cai, he had no way to explain the source of this information. Therefore, he could only wait. Moreover, Zhao Hai also wanted to use this opportunity to investigate the details of the Demonic Cultivators. He wanted to see why the Demonic Cultivators wanted to deal with the righteous path alliance.
Zhao Hai telling Wei Tiande about the True Spirit Realm didn't mean that he was selling out the True Spirit Realm. This was because he believed that it wouldn't take long for the Underworld to receive this information. Instead of keeping it a secret for a short period of time, it would be better for him to make a contribution.
At the same time, Zhao Hai also discovered that nobody in Riverfar City talked about this matter. Therefore, he decided to go to a big city.
Zhao Hai was very clear about the dangers of a big city compared to a small city. However, at the same time, there were also more opportunities in a big city. The bigger the city, the more secrets there would be. This was the same as high ranking officials. Because of this, Zhao Hai decided to go to a big city that wasn't under the control of the Righteous Dao Alliance.
While Zhao Hai was explaining the situation to Laura and the others, he suddenly felt several auras approaching his room. He immediately told Laura and the others about it. Then he stood up, he had a feeling that these auras were looking for him.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't worried. This was because these auras weren't very strong. The strongest among them was only a Transcending Realm Cultivator. Although these auras were hostile, they didn't have any killing intent. It seems like the other party didn't want to kill.
Just as Zhao Hai stood up, the auras arrived outside Zhao Hai's room. Then a voice was heard, "Blood Edge Sect's Hall Master, Liu Zhentian, has come to pay Mister a visit. I hope Mister can grant me an audience."
Zhao Hai stared, he didn't think that the other party would be this direct. However, he immediately went over and opened the door. Outside his room, there were seven cultivators. The one in the lead was a middle-aged cultivator who looked to be around 30 years old. His stature was very tall, but he was also very thin. However, he didn't seem weak at all. His entire person gave the impression that he was a piece of steel that had been hammered a thousand times.
Because of his thin stature, his eyes were very big and sparkling. One could see that he wasn't an easy person to deal with. Zhao Hai didn't dare to neglect, he quickly cupped his fist towards the person who called himself Liu Zhentian and said, "I've seen Hall Master Liu. Although I've just entered Riverleave City, I've already heard of the Blood Edge Sect's prestige. I didn't think that Hall Master Liu would personally come to see me today. This is my honor. If Hall Master Liu doesn't mind, then please come in."
Liu Zhentian laughed heartily and said, "Mister, you must be joking. Mister and your friend are both experts of the Combine Soul Stage. Now that you've suddenly come to a small place like Lijiang City, wouldn't it be too unreasonable if our Blood Dagger Gang didn't pay you a visit?"
Zhao Hai gawked, he immediately understood Liu Zhentian's meaning. Yes, the Blood Edge Sect was indeed one of the four great sects of Riverleave City. However, Riverleave City wasn't a big city. Although the Blood Edge Sect's strength was good, it was only relative. In Riverleave City, Fusion Soul Experts were already considered experts. Zhao Hai and the other two were all Fusion Soul Experts. Since they came to Riverleave City together, it was clear that they were together. Such a force wasn't bad for the sects of Riverleave City. Therefore, a Hall Master of the Blood Edge Sect personally came to pay a visit to him.
However, Zhao Hai didn't dare to be arrogant. Although the Blood Edge Sect was very polite, they still sent a Hall Master of the War Hall. Upon hearing the name of the Hall, one would know that it was a Hall Master of the War Hall. Moreover, Liu Zhentian was a Transcending Realm Expert. The Blood Edge Sect did this to show off their strength to Zhao Hai. They wanted to let Zhao Hai understand that although they were Fusion Soul Experts, the Blood Edge Sect was still able to suppress them in Riverleave City.
Zhao Hai understood Liu Zhentian's meaning. He cupped his fist and said, "Hall Master Liu, we three brothers came from a noble place and aren't familiar with the place. Therefore, we didn't immediately pay you a visit. We were already disrespectful. Hall Master Liu, please come in." Liu Zhentian nodded and followed Zhao Hai into his room. Two Blood Edge Sect Cultivators followed him into Zhao Hai's room while the other four stood guard outside.
After entering the room and taking a seat, Zhao Hai cupped his fist towards Liu Zhen Tian and said, "Hall Master Liu's visit is beyond my expectations. The three of us brothers were just passing through Riverleave City. Because we were short on money, we decided to stay for a day in order to receive a mission and leave immediately. But we didn't expect that Hall Master Liu would come in person. We have sinned, and I hope Hall Master Liu won't blame us." Liu Zhen Tian nodded.
Liu Zhentian's expression couldn't help but relax after hearing Zhao Hai's words. Zhao Hai was clearly telling him that they didn't want to make a living in Riverleave City. They were just passing by and wanted to take a mission before leaving. Therefore, they didn't need to worry about anything.
Liu Zhentian cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "So that's how it is. I took the liberty to come here and disturb you. Please forgive me, Mister. However, my Blood Edge Gang always treats cultivators who come to Riverleave City with great courtesy. It is our honor to be friends with someone like Mister. If Mister has any business in Riverleave City in the future, please come to the Blood Edge Gang. As long as we can help you, please don't hesitate."
Zhao Hai quickly replied, "Hall Master Liu is too polite. I will remember the Blood Edge Gang's hospitality. If I need your help in the future, I won't hesitate."
Liu Zhentian laughed heartily and said, "That's for the best. I have already arranged some food and wine at Wild Goose Pavilion. I wonder if I can have the honor of inviting the three of you to have a meal together. Let me do my best as a host."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Hall Master Liu is too polite. Being able to have a meal with Hall Master Liu is an honor for us three brothers. Hall Master Liu, please, I'll go call my two brothers."
Liu Zhentian smiled and said, "Then I will go with Mister." Naturally, Zhao Hai didn't have any reason to disagree. He stood up and followed Liu Zhentian outside. After calling Ma Long and Liu Cai, he introduced Liu Zhentian to them. Then the group went to Wild Goose Pavilion.
After having a meal at Wild Goose Pavilion, Liu Zhentian inquired about the origins of Zhao Hai and the others. Naturally, Zhao Hai told him about the identity that Wei Tiande gave him. In any case, he wasn't afraid of being investigated. After Liu Zhentian learned about the group's identity, he didn't continue to ask. On the contrary, he became even more enthusiastic. He even said that he would help the three of them pay attention to the mission office and see if there were any missions that would lead them to a big city. If there were, then he would certainly help them.
After having their meal, Liu Zhentian led the people from the Blood Blade Sect to leave. Zhao Hai also led Ma Long and Liu Cai back to the hotel. The three of them went to Zhao Hai's room and sat down. Then Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, "It seems like we won't be staying in Lijiang City for long. We don't need to go out in the next two days. I also don't need to visit the other sects. If we have time, we can go to the mission office and take a look. If there is a suitable mission, then we will immediately leave."
Ma Long nodded, then he sighed and said, "I didn't think that these local tyrants would be this powerful. They're clearly forcing us to take a stand. If Junior Brother Zhao didn't say that we would leave immediately, then I'm afraid that Liu Zhentian would have a different face. We still underestimated these local tyrants."
Liu Cai nodded and said, "Right. And if it weren't for the fact that the three of us are at the Fusion Soul Stage, the Blood Blade Sect wouldn't have this kind of attitude. Alas, I thought that only the underground world's sects would be this powerful. Now it seems like the sects in the True Spiritual Realm aren't bad at all."
Zhao Hai said, "The smaller the city, the more chaotic it is. Small cities don't have too many benefits, so there aren't too many people competing for them. In big cities, there are too many benefits, so the Great Sects wouldn't give them up. Because of this, it's very difficult for these gangs to survive. Only medium sized cities would be this chaotic. There are a lot of benefits in these cities that are enough to make the gangs jealous. But since the Great Sects don't care about these benefits, then all kinds of people would come out."
Ma Long nodded and said, "Then let's go to the big cities. I want to see what the big cities in the True Spiritual Realm look like. I want to see if they can compare to the big cities in the underground world. To be honest, the sun in the True Spiritual Realm is very good. It's much more comfortable than the fire in the Earth Fire Pillar. It's really uncomfortable for these people to occupy such a place. This place should belong to us Ghost Cultivators."
Ma Long's words immediately resonated with Liu Cai. Liu Cai coldly said, "Just wait. Sooner or later, the True Spiritual Realm will belong to us."
Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, "Alright, in the True Spiritual Realm, there's no need to talk like this. Riverleave City doesn't have any experts, but if we go to a bigger city and have experts, then we'll have to be more careful. If we expose ourselves, then we won't be able to keep our lives." The two nodded and didn't say anything else.
