Zhao Hai calmly stood outside a small courtyard in the outer city of Fog City. This small courtyard wasn't very eye-catching in Fog City, but Zhao Hai knew that it wasn't simple. The people living inside were the people from the two realms who wanted to assassinate him.
Zhao Hai stood outside the courtyard for a while before some movements could be heard from inside. Originally, the people inside the courtyard didn't want to come out, but Zhao Hai just stood there silently. They didn't make any moves, so they couldn't stand it anymore. They knew that their purpose in coming here was unspeakable, but they were also very confused. They really didn't understand where Zhao Hai found out about them. Now that he had quietly come to their door, no one would believe that Zhao Hai didn't know their identity and just came here to cause trouble.
More than a dozen people rushed out of the courtyard, but they didn't directly attack Zhao Hai inside the city. Instead, they directly flew out of the courtyard.
Zhao Hai looked at their appearance and knew what they wanted to do. They wanted to lure him out of the city and kill him. Even if they couldn't kill him, it would still be better than being besieged by the Red Cloud Gang's cultivators inside the city.
Zhao Hai looked at their appearance and couldn't help but coldly snort. Then his figure moved and flew out of the city with them. Sure enough, when they were about a hundred li away from the city, the dozen Cultivators stopped. They turned their heads and coldly looked at Zhao Hai. The Cultivator leading them looked at Zhao Hai as if he wanted to eat him.
Zhao Hai stopped and looked at the old Cultivator without speaking. The old Cultivator looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Are you the leader of the Red Cloud Gang?"
Zhao Hai said, "If you want to fight, then let's fight." Then his hand touched the hilt of the saber on his back.
The old Cultivator didn't think that Zhao Hai wouldn't take him seriously. The old Cultivator looked at Zhao Hai and sneered, "Good, you really have the courage to come out alone. Since you're courting death, then don't blame me. Attack." Then he didn't move, but the Cultivators around him rushed towards Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai's figure moved, the long saber in his hand was unsheathed. The saber flashed a few times and the Vajra Realm Cultivators who were attacking Zhao Hai stopped moving. Then a trail of blood appeared on their necks. Blood gushed out like a fountain. Then their bodies swayed and fell down.
The old Cultivator didn't react until the Cultivators fell down. Then the old Cultivator looked at Zhao Hai with bloodshot eyes and said, "Brat, you dare? Hand over your life." Then he rushed towards Zhao Hai and grabbed Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at the old Cultivator and coldly snorted. Then his figure moved and rushed towards the old Cultivator. He waved the long saber in his hand and shouted, "Break!"
His Saber Qi and the old Cultivator's Qi collided. Boom! With a loud noise, Zhao Hai's figure flew back. The old Cultivator's figure also swayed. Then he looked at Zhao Hai in disbelief and muttered, "Impossible. You're just a Vajra Realm Cultivator. How can you take my attack?"
Zhao Hai looked at the old Cultivator and sneered, "I haven't killed a Spirit Condensation Expert today." Then he attacked with his saber again.
When the old Cultivator heard Zhao Hai's words, his expression couldn't help but change. He could hear the confidence in Zhao Hai's words. Most importantly, he was very clear about the meaning of Zhao Hai's words. He knew that Zhao Hai wasn't lying. He used his full strength in his attack, but he couldn't do anything to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai only retreated a small distance. He didn't suffer a loss at all. Even if Zhao Hai used his full strength, that could only mean that Zhao Hai's strength was about the same as his. If Zhao Hai didn't use his full strength, then it would be even more terrifying.
The old Cultivator's mind turned like lightning. However, Zhao Hai didn't care so much. He waved his hand and his saber rushed towards the old Cultivator. The old Cultivator reacted and dealt with Zhao Hai's attack. However, the more he dealt with it, the more surprised he was. He didn't think that Zhao Hai's strength would be this strong. He was suppressed by Zhao Hai's saber, he didn't have any chance to fight back.
When the old Cultivator saw this, he knew that he couldn't hold back. If he couldn't deal with Zhao Hai now, then he was afraid that he would die here today.
It didn't take long before Zhao Hai discovered that the old Cultivator's attack contained a trace of emotional power. This trace of emotional power was completely different from the despair that Zhao Hai felt. Unexpectedly, this trace of emotional power was a trace of happiness.
This made Zhao Hai surprised. Generally speaking, happy emotions weren't suitable for attacking. However, the old Cultivator actually used it. This was something that Zhao Hai didn't expect.
However, Zhao Hai quickly understood why the old Cultivator chose to use happy emotions as his attack. It was because this emotion was too strong. It would make people unconsciously think about happy things. And if you think about happy things during a battle, then you would naturally be distracted. And in a battle, being distracted meant death.
After Zhao Hai discovered this point, he immediately thought that in this world, there were no emotions that couldn't be used to kill people. It all depended on where you use it, and how well you use it. As long as you use it well, then even a happy emotion can kill people. If you don't use it well, then even a despairing emotion wouldn't be of much help to you.
Zhao Hai's mind moved. Despair was attached to his saber. Then he launched another attack. For a moment, the world was filled with despair.
The old Cultivator originally thought that he would be able to deal with Zhao Hai by using an emotional attack. However, he quickly discovered that this wasn't the case. Zhao Hai also knew how to use emotional attacks. Moreover, it was one of the more powerful types of emotional attacks. Although it was said that any emotion could be used to attack, despair was much more advantageous compared to happiness.
After the two exchanged five rounds, the old Cultivator couldn't hold on any longer. He also discovered his own situation. He steeled his heart and prepared to blow himself up to take Zhao Hai down with him. However, just as he was about to blow himself up, he discovered that he couldn't do it. Moreover, the spiritual qi in his body was quickly draining away.
At this time, Zhao Hai stopped his attack. He looked at the old Cultivator and said, "You want to blow yourself up? Die. " Then with a wave of his hand, the old man's head was cut off. Then with a wave of his hand, all the Cultivators that he killed were sent to the Space. After that, he returned to Fog City and released the resurrected people. He placed them in the small courtyard before returning to the Red Clouds Hall.
When he returned to the Red Clouds Hall, he found Gao Changgong standing outside. Zhao Hai's figure moved and landed beside Gao Changgong. When Gao Changgong saw Zhao Hai, he immediately bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Go back and rest." Gao Changgong didn't say anything, he just nodded and turned around to leave. He was worried about Zhao Hai, so he stood there. Now that he saw that Zhao Hai had returned safely, he naturally wanted to go back and rest.
When Zhao Hai fought with the Cultivators, the commotion caused wasn't small. However, Fog City didn't seem to know about it. This was because of Zhao Hai's order that no matter what happened tonight, no one was allowed to leave Fog City.
Because of this, Gao Changgong knew that Zhao Hai was going to make a move today. He was worried about Zhao Hai, so he stood there and waited for Zhao Hai. If Zhao Hai needed any support, then he would be able to respond immediately.
After sending Gao Changgong away, Zhao Hai returned to the Space. When he fought with the old Cultivator, the reason why the old Cultivator didn't blow himself up was because the old Cultivator was already cursed. Zhao Hai added curse power to his blade, causing the old Cultivator to unknowingly be cursed. If the old Cultivator didn't want to blow himself up, then it would have taken some time for the curse to break out. But since the old Cultivator wanted to blow himself up, he wanted to take Zhao Hai down with him. Naturally, the old Cultivator didn't get any benefits and directly triggered the curse, causing the spiritual qi in his body to disappear in a flash.
Through this battle, Zhao Hai understood how powerful this curse technique was. It could make people unknowingly fall for it, and in the end, they wouldn't even know how they died. Just like the old Cultivator, he didn't understand why he couldn't blow himself up even if he wanted to.
Zhao Hai released the old Cultivator in order to let him contact the Cloudmist Bandits. He didn't believe that the Cloudmist Bandits and the old Cultivators wouldn't be able to communicate with each other. In the past, the Cloudmist Bandits were much stronger, but at that time, the Five Great Gangs still existed. This meant that the forces behind the Five Great Gangs weren't in cahoots with the Cloudmist Bandits, but they were so strong that the Cloudmist Bandits didn't dare to make a move. From the current situation, it was clear that the former was more likely.
If the Cloudmist Bandits and the old Cultivators were in cahoots, then this matter would be easy to deal with. As long as the old Cultivator was in cahoots with the Cloudmist Bandits, then when the time comes, they could use this point to directly eliminate the Cloudmist Bandits.
Zhao Hai already had a general idea in his mind, but he still wanted to see what the Cloudmist Bandits would do next. If the Cloudmist Bandits attacked them in a short period of time, then it meant that the Cloudmist Bandits didn't suspect anything. They had really fallen into a trap.
In fact, after Zhao Hai killed the Cultivators, he also asked them about it. The Cultivators also said that they had left their soul plates in their Space. Now that they were dead, their soul plates should've been destroyed. Zhao Hai didn't know if the Cloudmist Bandits knew about this. If they did, then what would their reaction be?
This time, Zhao Hai entered the Space in order to have Laura and the others strengthen their surveillance of the Cloudmist Bandits. They must not let the Cloudmist Bandits turn over, they must fall into this trap.
In the next few days, Zhao Hai quickly appeared in Fog City. But what outsiders didn't know was that the Cultivators of the Red Cloud Gang in other cities had already begun to secretly return to Fog City. In the other cities, besides a few people, almost no one stayed behind. Even those who stayed behind were preparing to return to Fog City at any time.
A day after Zhao Hai killed the Cultivators who came to assassinate him, Gao Changgong received news that the Cloudmist Bandits had set out. Moreover, their target was the Red Cloud Gang. Although they didn't receive any specific information, they did see a large artifact of the Cloudmist Bandits leaving. Moreover, it was heading towards the Red Cloud Gang.
Gao Changgong didn't have any specific information, but Zhao Hai did. In fact, the Cloudmist Bandits' target this time was the Red Cloud Gang. After Zhao Hai killed the old Cultivator, the Cloudmist Bandits received information that the old Cultivator might've met with an accident. They wanted to confirm the information, and they did. They also used a code word to send a letter to the old Cultivator. The message was that they wanted to ask if the old Cultivator had met with an accident.
The code word was generally used by a sect in an emergency. Except for a few people in the sect, very few people knew the code word. The old Cultivator who was killed by Zhao Hai happened to know the code word. Therefore, they used the code word to send a letter to the old Cultivator to confirm if the old Cultivator had met with an accident.
The reason why the realm that the old cultivator was in did this without confirming that they were dead was because there were two different realms between their realm and the Realm of the Void. Sometimes, there would be an unknown fluctuation in the space between the two realms, and this fluctuation would affect the connection between the two realms. For example, a person who entered the Realm of the Void was still alive, but his Soul Tablet in his own realm had shattered. This kind of thing had happened before, so they would carefully confirm it. The result of the confirmation was that there was no problem and the old cultivator was still alive. This naturally dispelled the Cloudy Bandits' worries.
After the Cloudmist Bandits were dispatched, Zhao Hai immediately made arrangements in Fog City. He wouldn't let the Cloudmist Bandits have a good time. Now, the Cultivators of the Red Cloud Gang were ready. Moreover, Zhao Hai also made them take out the formations they collected from the other sects and arranged them in Fog City.
But this time, everything was done in secret. Even the formations were arranged at night. They were afraid that others would find out that they were prepared. If that happened, it wouldn't be good for them at all.
At this time, the Cloudmist Planet was in a state of silence. The other sects on the planet were also in a state of silence. In fact, those sects were just watching. They even mobilized their forces and were ready to deal with the situation at any time.
The reason why those sects had such a reaction was because they knew the Cloudmist Bandits very well. They knew that the Cloudmist Bandits wouldn't let Zhao Hai and the others go. As long as the Cloudmist Bandits made a move, they would be prepared. No matter who won or lost, they would have to be prepared to protect themselves or take advantage of the situation.
Needless to say, if the Cloudmist Bandits destroyed the Red Cloud Gang, then they would naturally rush forward and take advantage of the situation. They believed that the Cloudmist Bandits wouldn't be angry. But self-protection was even easier. They always had to guard against the Cloudmist Bandits.
