Zhao Hai had been in seclusion for a full year. During this year, Zhao Hai spent most of his time in the underground world teaching the Earthfire Sprites. The Earthfire Sprites were worthy of being called the most suitable race for practicing fire-attribute Cultivation Methods by Zhao Hai. In this year, the strength of the Earthfire Sprites increased very quickly. Almost all the Earthfire Sprites in the Resistance Army had started to practice, and their results were very good.
The strongest Earthfire Sprites now had the strength of an ordinary Soul Fusion Expert. Zhao Hai didn't expect them to reach this level in just a year. This showed how powerful the Earthfire Sprites' fire-attribute talent was.
Zhao Hai's title as the number one sage of the Earthfire Sprites had been officially established. When he first started teaching, there were many Earthfire Sprites who didn't want to learn from him because he was a Human. However, the red earth forced them to learn from Zhao Hai. Therefore, these Earthfire Sprites reluctantly followed Zhao Hai.
After learning from Zhao Hai, the Earth Fire Spirits began to understand how terrifying Zhao Hai was. Because of this, the people who learned from him progressed very quickly. Whether it was their fire element spiritual qi, their control over fire element spells, their movement techniques, or their close combat abilities, all of them progressed very quickly. And these people quickly became the elites of the Earth Fire Spirit race.
Of course, these people also quickly became Zhao Hai's most loyal fans. Zhao Hai's title as a sage also spread among the Earthfire Sprites.
However, Zhao Hai didn't care. Although he spent most of this year in the underground world, he was still very concerned about the situation of the Tyrant's Blade School, the Long Family, and the Blood Blade Gang.
There was no need to talk about the Tyrant's Blade School and the Long Family. The Tyrant's Blade School recruited some new disciples, and their strength increased very quickly. As for the Long Family, because their core members were all family members, they didn't recruit outside. Therefore, the increase in their numbers wasn't very big. They only recruited some small families who passed a long period of observation and assessment and became the Long Family's vassal families. However, the number of vassals wasn't a lot. The Long Family was an elite family, and they would rather go without than have something substandard. Therefore, their strength increased a lot.
As for the situation of the Long Family and the Tyrant's Blade School, Zhao Hai wasn't very worried. The Long Family and the Tyrant's Blade School had been in the Real Spiritual World for many years. They had their own management system, and their influence wasn't small. Not just anyone could move them. Therefore, Zhao Hai wasn't worried about them.
What Zhao Hai was worried about was the Blood Blade Gang. The Blood Blade Gang was too weak. Originally, they had Wang Da, a Teleportation Realm expert. Although a Teleportation Realm expert wasn't much in Demon Heart City, one had to admit that a Teleportation Realm expert could be considered a small expert. With Wang Da in Demon Heart City, the gangs in Demon Heart City would have some scruples about dealing with the Blood Blade Gang.
But now that Wang Da was gone, the Blood Blade Gang didn't have a leader. They also didn't have any power that could make people fear them. This was what Zhao Hai was most worried about.
Fortunately, the Grand Peace Hall acted in a timely manner. Otherwise, the Blood Blade Gang would have already received news. Of course, Zhao Hai knew why the Grand Peace Hall acted. However, he didn't want to reveal this matter.
This year, with the help of the Grand Peace Hall, the Blood Blade Gang was able to gain a foothold in Demon Heart City. They became one of the gangs in Demon Heart City. Naturally, they were also one of the least noticed gangs in Demon Heart City.
In the past year, the Grand Peace Hall had helped the Blood Blade Gang a lot. Although the Grand Peace Hall allowed the Blood Blade Gang to do missions without paying them, they also introduced a lot of businesses to the Blood Blade Gang. This allowed the Blood Blade Gang to gain a foothold in Demon Heart City.
However, although the Blood Blade Gang gained a foothold in Demon Heart City, they didn't grow any stronger. They even suffered casualties in several missions. Their strength and numbers were much lower compared to before.
This was also the sorrow of small gangs. Without strength, they couldn't attract more experts to join them. They would only get weaker and weaker before finally disappearing completely.
This was what Liu Zhentian was most anxious about. The Blood Blade Gang was getting weaker day by day. Although they recruited some people to replenish their numbers, the replenishment wasn't as fast as the loss. Therefore, the Blood Blade Gang was now much weaker compared to when they first moved to Demon Heart City. This was also due to the support of the Grand Peace Hall. Otherwise, the Blood Blade Gang would have already been finished.
A year after Zhao Hai went into seclusion, news suddenly came from the Buyun Sect. Three months later, the Buyun Sect would be opening their doors. Therefore, as long as the Rogue Cultivators passed the entrance examination of the Buyun Sect, regardless of age or level, they could join the Buyun Sect and become a disciple of the Buyun Sect.
Although the news of the sect opening had already spread out, it still caused a huge uproar when the news spread. The entire sphere of influence of the sect was shaken. Countless rogue cultivators flocked to the Devil Heart City, and the city became lively all of a sudden.
However, although there were a lot of people in Demon Heart City, no one dared to make trouble here. This was because a large number of Buyun Sect's disciples had begun to appear in Demon Heart City. Anyone who dared to make trouble in Demon Heart City would be captured by the Buyun Sect's disciples and thrown into the sect's prison.
Unlike the noise outside, Liu Zhentian was now anxiously standing outside Zhao Hai's courtyard, looking at Zhao Hai's courtyard. Zhao Hai had been in seclusion for a year. During this time, Liu Zhentian didn't disturb Zhao Hai. He even sent people to pay attention to the situation in Zhao Hai's courtyard.
However, Zhao Hai's courtyard had been very quiet, too quiet, as if there was no one inside. Even under such circumstances, Liu Zhentian didn't disturb Zhao Hai. But now, he couldn't. The Buyun Sect was going to open its doors in a few months. If Zhao Hai didn't come out of seclusion, Liu Zhentian was afraid that he would miss this opportunity.
Whether Zhao Hai could join the Buyun Sect or not was very important to the Blood-Edge Gang. If Zhao Hai joined the Buyun Sect, then the Blood-Edge Gang would have a protective talisman. Even if they didn't rely on the Magnificent Peace Hall, they still wouldn't be able to be touched by just anyone in Demon Heart City.
On the contrary, if Zhao Hai couldn't join the Blood-Edge Gang, then the Blood-Edge Gang could only keep a low profile. It might even slowly decline. It was hard to say what would happen in the future.
Originally, Liu Zhentian thought that Zhao Hai would come out of seclusion after some time. He didn't expect that Zhao Hai would be in seclusion for a year. Now that Zhao Hai hadn't appeared, Liu Zhentian was afraid that Zhao Hai would be in seclusion for a year and a half. Then, everything would be too late.
At this time, Yu Linfeng and the others arrived outside of Zhao Hai's courtyard. When Liu Zhentian saw them, he couldn't help but nod to them and said, "You're here as well. I was just about to wake Little Ling up, what do you think?"
The biggest harvest of the Blood-Edge Gang in this year was the reconciliation between Liu Zhentian and Yu Linfeng. Both sides knew that the Blood-Edge Gang was in decline. If they were to fight amongst themselves, then the Blood-Edge Gang would be finished. Moreover, both sides had already placed their bets on Zhao Hai, so there was no need to fight.
Yu Linfeng also nodded at Liu Zhentian and said, "That should be the case. Xiao Ling has been in seclusion for too long this time. He should come out and take part in a few missions to relax and adjust his condition. Only then will he be in his best condition to participate in the Buyun Sect's entrance examination."
Liu Zhentian nodded. Then he moved his finger and struck the jade token hanging in front of Zhao Hai's door. He did this in order to wake Zhao Hai up.
When a Cultivator goes into seclusion, they would hang a jade token in front of their door. This was to tell them that they were in seclusion. If something were to happen, then they could break the jade token. Generally, the jade token would contain a trace of the Cultivator's spiritual force. Once the token is broken, the Cultivator would be able to sense it and know that someone was looking for them. They would then end their seclusion and wouldn't suffer any harm.
Not long after Liu Zhentian broke the jade token, the door to Zhao Hai's courtyard opened. A pale-faced Zhao Hai walked out.
Zhao Hai already knew that the Buyun Sect was about to open its doors. In the past few days, he had already told Hong Tu about it. He said that he would be leaving for some time, but he wasn't sure how long he would be gone. He also gave Hong Tu and the others a book of cultivation experience. This book was written according to the progress of the Red Goblins. It could be said that this was a very precious thing, especially for the Red Goblins.
After explaining things to the Red Goblins, Zhao Hai returned to the Tyrant's Blade School. The Tyrant's Blade School also received the news. This news was very important for them. This was because the Buyun Sect was about to open its doors. This meant that the information they received before was true, the Demonic Cultivators were about to make a move.
After arriving at the Tyrant's Blade School, Zhao Hai went to the Long Family. The Long Family received the news earlier than the Tyrant's Blade School. Moreover, the Long Family had already made preparations, so Zhao Hai didn't need to worry about anything. After arriving at the Long Family, Zhao Hai met with Laura and the others before returning to Demon Heart City.
After arriving at Demon Heart City, Zhao Hai immediately sent a letter to the Battle Corpse Sect. No matter what, he was still a disciple of the Battle Corpse Sect. This kind of news was known to the entire world. If he didn't send a message to the Battle Corpse Sect, then it wouldn't be justified.
After dealing with these matters, Liu Zhentian also destroyed the jade token. Naturally, Zhao Hai was able to smoothly exit his seclusion. During this year, in order to make people think that he was in seclusion, Zhao Hai deliberately made his face pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time.
Seeing Zhao Hai come out, Liu Zhentian's expression relaxed. He immediately went to Zhao Hai's side and said, "Little Ling, how did it go? Did you gain anything from your seclusion? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Not bad, my strength has improved a bit compared to before. Even if Brother Liu didn't call me, I would've already left seclusion. Right, Brother Liu, why did you call me? Did you receive news from the Buyun Sect? "
Liu Zhentian nodded and said, "The Forbidden Sect released the news that they'll be opening the sect in three months. I was afraid that you'd miss the opening and wanted to let you adjust your condition. That's why I called you. It's good that I didn't disturb you."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "It's alright, I was going to come out anyway. Hall Master Yu, you're all here. Zhao Hai has been impolite. Come, let's talk inside." After he said that, Zhao Hai made an inviting gesture to the group. The group nodded and followed Zhao Hai into the room.
Upon entering the room, the group couldn't help but stare. This was because they discovered that Zhao Hai's room was covered in dust. It was clear that no one had touched it for a long time. Upon seeing this, the group couldn't help but feel admiration for Zhao Hai. This was because in their opinion, Zhao Hai must've been wholeheartedly cultivating and didn't even get up.
But what they didn't know was that Zhao Hai didn't stay in this room for a year, which was why the room was in such a state. Of course, Zhao Hai didn't explain anything to them. In fact, he had time to clean the room, but he didn't do it. He wanted Liu Zhentian to think that he had been in seclusion for a year.
Zhao Hai pretended to notice the dust in the room. He quickly smiled at the group and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot to clean it up." Then Zhao Hai waved his hand as a whirlwind formed in the room. This whirlwind was very weak, it could only suck in the dust. It couldn't move anything else. After the whirlwind went around the room, all the dust in the room disappeared.
Then Zhao Hai waved his hand as a ball of water appeared beside him. Then all the things in the room that needed to be washed automatically flew into the ball of water. The ball of water then began to spin. When the ball of water stopped, the tea set in the room had been washed clean. Then Zhao Hai waved his hand again as a ball of water appeared beside him. Then a ball of fire appeared. Before long, the ball of water began to emit a lot of steam as the water boiled.
Zhao Hai went to the sofa in the living room and sat down. He put some tea leaves in the teapot before pouring the boiling water into the kettle. Then the ball of fire and water disappeared. Zhao Hai turned to Liu Zhentian and the others and said, "Brother Liu, Hall Master Yu, please take a seat."
Liu Zhentian and Yu Linfeng were surprised as they looked at Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai just used some small tricks that didn't have any offensive power. However, Liu Zhentian and the others were able to see something else from these small tricks. Zhao Hai's control over magic had reached a very terrifying level.
In the True Spirit Realm, magic had always been a very strange thing. From the Newborn Realm to the Void Piercing Realm, every realm had their own unique magic. Moreover, most of these magic spells were public. They weren't like martial arts or magic tools. These were secrets of the Great Sects that Rogue Cultivators wouldn't be able to learn. Only magic spells were an exception. Rogue Cultivators could learn magic spells. Many Rogue Cultivators would even learn magic spells. They considered magic to be a very important means of attack.
From this point of view, magic spells seemed to be very important. But in fact, it was the exact opposite. Magic spells were the least valued in the True Spirit Realm, especially the disciples of the Great Sects. Almost no one would learn magic spells. This was because in their opinion, learning magic spells was a waste of time.
