From the Academy to Forest City, if one were to ride a horse, it would take half a month. If one were to use a carriage, it would take about 20 days. If one were to ride a horse, it would take about 10 days. Of course, riding a horse at a speed of 800 km/h was a very fast speed.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai's speed was very fast. The Ghost Bulls were also very fast. And with Zhao Hai providing them with Nature Energy, their speed was naturally even faster.
At night, Zhao Hai would ride the Ghost Bulls on the road. During the day, he would enter the forest, either riding the Ghost Bulls or using the Iron Wire Armor. The Iron Wire Armor was also very fast. However, one had to pay more attention to the direction they were going. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome.
In this way, Zhao Hai only used three days to arrive outside of Forest City. Forest City was famous for its large amount of wood. However, there was no shortage of wood in the continent. Because of this, Forest City's development wasn't very big. It could only be considered a medium-sized city.
Zhao Hai looked at Forest City. He didn't enter the city because there was no need to. He was hiding in the forest. However, he released some butterflies. These butterflies could be seen everywhere. Moreover, they could fly to the city and the Tao Family without anyone noticing.
Under Zhao Hai's control, the butterflies slowly flew into Forest City. Then Zhao Hai transferred his spiritual force to the butterflies. Then the butterflies slowly flew around the city. It didn't take long before Zhao Hai found the Tao Family's mansion.
Because the Tao Family had the support of the King, their family's development was very fast. However, the family's foundation was still there. Therefore, all of the family's people were concentrated in Forest City. Zhao Hai could understand the Tao Family's intentions. The Tao Family was preparing to swallow Forest City first before slowly extending their influence to other cities. Their approach was good. After all, almost all of the cities in the Saber Spirit Country were controlled by forces. If they couldn't completely turn Forest City into a Tao Family, then the other families would suddenly make a move on Forest City.
The Tao Family's mansion was very large. It was divided into several areas. There were areas for the servants as well as areas for the Tao Family. Zhao Hai sent the butterflies into the city to familiarize themselves with the terrain.
After looking at the Tao Family's terrain, the butterflies went to look at the Zhou Family's terrain. This time, the Tao Family used the Zhou Family as a hired thug. If Zhao Hai didn't deal with the Zhou Family, then he would be letting himself down.
As for the matter of the Zhou Family being the Fat Cat Family, Zhao Hai also thought about it. He didn't care about it at all. So what if they were the Fat Cat Family? Dealing with the Fat Cat Family was nothing to him.
Moreover, Zhao Hai would deal with the Zhou Family so that others would know that the Tao Family was dealt with by him. Otherwise, others wouldn't know who killed the Tao Family.
Zhao Hai wanted others to know that the Tao Family died in the hands of the Hu Family. However, he also didn't want them to know how the Hu Family destroyed the Tao Family.
At this time, the Tao Family still didn't know that they were facing a disaster. The Tao Family's Patriarch, Tao Xianwang, had gathered all the people in charge of the Tao Family's meeting room to discuss matters.
Tao Xianwang looked at the people of the Tao Family and said, "I reckon that Zhou Dongli has already arrived at Hengdao City and entered the academy. But what's strange is that I heard that Crane Field didn't care about this matter. Instead, he went into seclusion. Moreover, he went into seclusion as soon as Zhou Dongli returned. What does Da Ai think about this matter?"
A person below Tao Xianwang opened his mouth and said, "Patriarch, I think that Crane Field might be using seclusion as an excuse. In fact, he will come to Forest City to retaliate against us. Therefore, I think that we should make some preparations. Otherwise, if Zhao Hai really comes, we won't have any reaction."
The other members of the Tao Family nodded as well. They were very clear that the reason they made a move against Zhou Dongli was because of the Hu Family. The Hu Family was the most gentle among all the Great Clans. However, the matter with the Yang Family made them realize that the Zhou Family couldn't be easily provoked. But even if they knew, now that the Emperor was going to deal with the Great Clans, this was a good opportunity for them. If the Tao Family can use Zhou Dongli's matter to deal with Crane Field, then the Zhou Family would become famous among the small and medium-sized clans. Taking over Forest City would be a very easy matter.
Tao Xianwang looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, don't underestimate Crane Field. Last time, Crane Field dealt with the Yang Family because the Yang Family had been provoking the Hu Family for a long time. The Hu Family had to respond, otherwise, the Hu Family would lose face. Therefore, the Hu Family had Crane Field make a move. Without the Hu Family's agreement, Crane Field wouldn't dare to make a move. But this time, the situation is different. On the surface, we aren't dealing with the Hu Family, but Crane Field. There's a difference. Although Crane Field isn't weak, he isn't a true member of the Hu Family. It's hard to say whether the Hu Family would allow him to act recklessly. We asked the other clans to help us pay attention to the Hu Family's movements. The Hu Family hasn't made any movements recently. Their core members are all inside the family and didn't go out. Our Tao Family isn't to be trifled with. If the Hu Family wants to deal with our Tao Family, then they won't be able to rely on one or two people. They would need to send a large number of people. As long as the Hu Family sends a large number of people, then we will certainly receive the news. Therefore, I think that we don't need to worry too much for the time being."
Everyone nodded. Then one of Tao Xianwang's subordinates said, "Patriarch, what about the Zhou Family? Although we asked the Zhou Family to do this, the Zhou Family has gone a bit too far. Recently, they have been very active in the city. They even used our Tao Family's name to take advantage of people everywhere. This is very bad for our Tao Family's reputation. If His Majesty knows about this, then I'm afraid our Tao Family will be in even more trouble. "The Zhou Family didn't say anything.
Tao Xianwang thought for a moment, then he said, "Let's do it like this. Tomorrow, send someone to inform the Zhou Family and have them come over. I'll give them a beating and make them behave."
Everyone nodded. Then Tao Xianwang looked at everyone and said, "No matter what, we have offended the Crane Grasses. Inform everyone to stay in Forest City and not go out." Everyone nodded. Then Tao Xianwang waved his hand and had everyone disperse.
Zhao Hai didn't know what the Tao Family was discussing. He was now clear about the Zhou Family's situation. The Tao Family could only be regarded as a mid-sized family in the Saber Spirit Country. On the other hand, the Zhou Family couldn't be considered a family in the country, they could only be a vassal family. This was because the Zhou Family's military strength was very poor. They were good at doing business, but they didn't have the strength to protect their business. It was like a child stealing gold, sooner or later, it would belong to someone else. Because of this, the Zhou Family rarely left Forest City. In the past, the Zhou Family had a few caravans that could travel to the Prairie. But after they relied on the Tao Family, they were able to make a lot of money in Forest City. In this case, the Zhou Family's caravans were naturally disbanded. Because of this, dealing with the Zhou Family would be easier than dealing with the Tao Family.
Time passed little by little and the sky slowly darkened. Zhao Hai had been adjusting his state in the forest. He wanted to adjust his state to the best possible state before attacking the Tao Family.
The sky was completely dark and the gates of Forest City were closed. However, Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry. He waited until 10 o 'clock at night. At this time, for the people of the Soul Realm who didn't have much entertainment, most of them were already asleep. The few places that weren't sleeping were just some brothels.
Zhao Hai directly sneaked into Forest City from the city wall. Then he didn't go directly to the Tao Family. Instead, he went to the places where people were still active at night. After seeing that there were no people from the Tao Family, Zhao Hai went to the Tao Family.
The street where the Tao Family was located was very deserted because the entire street belonged to the Tao Family. Although the Tao Family was a big family, most of them were already asleep. Therefore, it was very quiet and deserted.
Zhao Hai looked at the Tao Family. The Tao Family's defenses weren't strengthened, but as a Great Family, they still had some defensive capabilities. However, these defenses were nothing in Zhao Hai's eyes. Zhao Hai looked at the Tao Family's direction and smiled faintly. He waved his hand and released the magic plants from his soul as well as the animals from his space. Then he took out a lot of mutant seeds and scattered them around the Tao Family's territory. This time, he even released the insects from his space. He was afraid that the Tao Family might have a secret passage. He wanted the insects to find the secret passage inside the Tao Family's territory.
Snakes have snakes and rats have rats. Places that were hard to find could be found by the insects. Because of this, Zhao Hai released the insects to help him.
Besides the insects, Zhao Hai also released Yu Wa. Yu Wa would fly around the Tao Family's territory. If anyone wanted to deal with him, Yu Wa would attack.
After everything was prepared, Zhao Hai began to move. He didn't make any big movements. Instead, he chose to sneak in and quietly kill. Zhao Hai was now more like a murderer. He only chose to kill, no matter what method he used.
In fact, Zhao Hai's attack had already begun. Tonight, he had already let the rats spread some drugs into the wells of the Tao and Zhou Family. There shouldn't be many sober people in the Tao and Zhou Families. Zhao Hai's goal this time was to kill, so he didn't care what method he used.
With Zhao Hai's ability, sneaking into the Tao Family wasn't a difficult matter. The Tao Family wasn't a big family, and with the help of Yu Wa, as well as other plants and animals, Zhao Hai didn't have to use much strength to sneak into the Tao Family's territory.
There weren't any guards outside the Tao Family's gate. All of the guards were in the courtyard, and there weren't many of them. Moreover, through the plants in the courtyard, Zhao Hai already knew the positions of the guards. The guards were all drugged and were currently unconscious. Zhao Hai sneaked into the courtyard where the guards lived. The courtyard was very quiet, and he could clearly hear snoring sounds.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly as he quietly walked into a room. There was a pot of Lantern Fruit in the room, so the room wasn't very dark. Zhao Hai looked at the situation of the room. It was a very big room with a large bed that could accommodate 20 people. Zhao Hai moved his hand and took out a scimitar. This scimitar was the slender scimitar used by the Wolf Fang Army of the Wolf Soul Country. It was very powerful. Zhao Hai wasn't polite as he killed all of the guards one by one.
When Zhao Hai came out of the courtyard, there wasn't a single living person left. Not to mention a living person, there wasn't even a living creature. Not only were the guards killed by Zhao Hai, even the dogs in the courtyard were killed by Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai wanted to make sure that no one was left alive. He wanted everyone in the Blade Soul Country to understand that if they wanted to deal with Zhao Hai, then they would have to pay a price.
Killing one courtyard after another, all of the guards and servants were killed by Zhao Hai. Wherever he went, there wasn't a single living creature. While he was doing all of this, he didn't make any movements. Everything was done silently.
After cleaning up the unimportant people in the outer courtyard, Zhao Hai entered the inner courtyard of the Tao Family. The inner courtyard was where the important people of the Tao Family lived. It wasn't only the people of the Tao Family who lived there, there were also some consecrators of the Tao Family. These consecrators weren't weak, there were even some capable people. Zhao Hai didn't believe that his knockout powder would be able to knock all of them out. He was already prepared for battle. However, in Zhao Hai's opinion, the obstacles he would encounter this time wouldn't be too big. If the matter of him using the knockout powder was discovered, then the outer courtyard would certainly be alerted. Then the guards and servants wouldn't have died.
He was still killing people silently. Zhao Hai felt that he had fallen in love with this feeling. Making people die silently, making them die in their sleep. They wouldn't resist, they wouldn't even feel too much pain before dying. For the dead, this was a kind of mercy.
Zhao Hai didn't remember how many people he killed. He only remembered that he killed one courtyard after another, even the children weren't spared. When Zhao Hai entered a courtyard called the Martial Preparation Courtyard, he suddenly heard a voice from a room, "Who's there?" This voice was very loud, it traveled far in the night. There were also movements in the nearby courtyards.
Although the knockout powder was very strong, there were various kinds of energy in the bodies of professionals. These energies had a certain resistance to the knockout powder. Moreover, it was already quite late, about 12 o 'clock. The knockout powder had already dissipated a lot. It wasn't difficult for the professionals to discover him at this time. However, Zhao Hai didn't answer. Instead, he directly rushed into the room where the voice came from.
