The next day, the people from the Sword Spirit Nation also came back with two iron plates. They weren't surprised at all, the champion of this tournament was the Blade Spirit Nation. And this time, the people from the Wolf Spirit Nation, Tiger Spirit Nation, Lion Spirit Nation, and Hammer Spirit Nation also understood that the people from their four nations wouldn't be able to come back.
The people of the Wolf Spirit Nation, Tiger Spirit Nation, and Lion Spirit Nation were fine. When they saw Zhao Hai return, they were already mentally prepared. However, the Hammer Spirit Nation wasn't prepared. Although Gu Wangbei said that he would send people to deal with the people of the Dark Soldier Nation and the Blade Spirit Nation, he didn't expect them to be completely wiped out. This was a big matter.
However, after Gu Wangbei confirmed this news, he was somewhat happy. He was still thinking about how to retaliate against Zhao Hai and the others. But now, he didn't need to think about it. This was because he didn't need to intervene, the people of the Hammer Spirit Nation would directly make their move.
When the people of the Sword Spirit Nation saw that the people of the four nations were completely wiped out, and the experts of the Wolf Spirit Nation and the Tiger Spirit Nation didn't come out, they knew that the Blade Spirit Nation already knew about everything. At this time, there was no meaning in continuing the Planter Master Conference. Therefore, the Planter Master Conference ended hastily. It can be said that they parted on bad terms.
However, this Planter Master Conference made a person's name resound throughout the Soul Realm. This person was Zhao Hai. The name of the Giant Demon was once again spread throughout the Soul Realm.
It can be said that Zhao Hai was in the limelight during the Plant Master Conference. Although he didn't show off much during the Exchange Conference, the last competition made everyone understand how formidable Zhao Hai was. Zhao Hai's eyes lit up.
When the Planter Master Conference ended, everyone naturally wouldn't stay in the Sword Spirit Nation. The people of the various nations immediately left. When Zhao Hai left, he made an appointment with Pan Wanjiang. When he finished dealing with the matters of the Blade Spirit Nation, he would immediately go to the Dark Soldier Nation to look for him. Only then did Pan Wanjiang bid farewell to Zhao Hai with tears in his eyes.
Zhao Hai didn't know why Pan Wanjiang was looking for him, but he knew that it must have something to do with the mysterious matter. However, he didn't take it to heart. Right now, he was worried about how to safely return to the Saber Spirit Nation.
It could be said that he had created a situation where he had enemies all over the place for this Plant Master Assembly. Although this situation was not what he wanted to see, he had planted a lot of hidden dangers for them to safely return to the Saber Spirit Nation.
Hu Chen and the others have already sent a letter to the Hu Clan, asking the Hu Clan to send people to receive them. At the same time, they also boarded the Green Willow Ship. After arriving, the Green Willow Ship immediately entered a state of battle. All of the weapons on the ship were loaded.
The Green Willow Ship had a lot of firewood. These firewood were used by the Green Willow Ship for self-defense. At this time, all of them were taken out. At the same time, the Green Willow Ship was also prepared for a long voyage.
After Zhao Hai and the others boarded the Green Willow Ship, the Green Willow Ship immediately started moving. Because they weren't going with the current, they were going against it. Therefore, their speed would be affected to a certain extent. However, the Green Willow Ship had water wheels and sails. They could use the power of the wind to sail. At the same time, they could also use the power of the water wheels to push the Green Willow Ship forward.
Moreover, this Green Willow Ship was a very important ship for the Hu Clan. It was specially reserved for important people. Therefore, the people on the ship were very experienced. There was no need to worry about sailing.
Even so, Hu Chen didn't dare to relax. He had the experts on the ship take turns to be on guard while the others went to rest. At the same time, they also had to prepare for battle. They could participate in battle at any time.
Going back wasn't any slower than when they came. Moreover, they didn't stop during the night. They hurried all the way because they were very clear that they had too many enemies. Even the Sword Spirit Country could deal with them. They had no choice but to be careful.
However, what Zhao Hai didn't expect was that they didn't encounter any attacks along the way. Even after entering the Saber Soul Nation's territory, they still didn't encounter any attacks. This was a bit beyond their expectations.
After entering the Sword Spirit Country, they could finally relax. At the same time, they were also contacted by the Hu Clan. The Hu Clan's reinforcements had already arrived. There were people on both sides of the river. There were also people escorting them on the river. They were finally safe.
After ten days of sailing, they finally arrived at Horizontal Blade City. Then the group entered the city and rested for a day. The next day, Dao Mingyuan summoned them.
Zhao Hai already knew about Dao Mingyuan's summons. He even knew about the reward. Just like the news he received before, Dao Mingyuan gave him a fief. And his fief was the Evil Demon Mountain.
When Dao Mingyuan announced that the Evil Demon Mountain would be Zhao Hai's fief, the entire Great Hall was in an uproar. Everyone didn't know why Dao Mingyuan did this. In the end, Dao Mingyuan waved his hand and the Great Hall slowly calmed down. Then everyone saw that the Hu Clan didn't object. On the contrary, they had a calm expression on their faces. They knew that the Hu Clan already knew about this news. This caused many people in the Great Hall to look at the Hu Clan and Zhao Hai with schadenfreude.
There was a rule in the Sword Spirit Country that Nobles with a fief couldn't stay outside for a long time. They must return to their fief. Moreover, once they have a fief, they would have to pay taxes to the Sword Spirit Country. However, Dao Mingyuan exempted the Evil Demon Mountain from taxes. Moreover, it was a permanent exemption. This didn't cause any opposition. In their opinion, although Zhao Hai's strength wasn't bad, it was impossible for him to stay in Demon Island for a long time. If Zhao Hai couldn't stay in Demon Island for a long time, then his title would be taken back and the island would no longer be his.
In the eyes of these people, it was clear that Dao Mingyuan wanted to take back Zhao Hai's title. Therefore, they didn't care about it. In their opinion, there was no need for tax exemption.
After receiving the reward, Zhao Hai and the others left the Great Hall and returned to the Hu Clan's residence. After sitting down, Hu Chen and Hu Xiang called Zhao Hai to the living room. After the three sat down, Hu Chen looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Crane Grass, what do you plan to do next?"
Zhao Hai thought for a moment, then he said, "According to the Sword Spirit Country's customs, I must settle down in my fief within three years. In any case, I plan to go back to the family to see Grandfather. Then I'll go to the Dark Soldier Country. I want to see what Pan Wanjiang wants from me. After that, I'll go to the Evil Demon Mountain."
Hu Chen looked at Zhao Hai, then he sighed and said, "The family didn't think that His Majesty would give you the Evil Demon Mountain as your fief. But now that it's given to you, there's no other way. You don't need to worry too much about it. With the Hu Clan's status and your current fame, it doesn't matter if you have the title or not."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Tenth Uncle, don't worry. I don't mind. I've been busy these past few years, so I want to go home and rest for a while. I want to accompany Grandfather and my family before heading to the Dark Soldier Kingdom." Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Alright.
Hu Chen nodded, then he said, "It's good to go back and take a look. You haven't been home for many years. Go back and take a look. Stay for a few days. We've already told His Majesty about what happened in the Sword Spirit Country. Now, the Sword Spirit Country is on guard. But you have to be careful. The Hammer Spirit Country, the Tiger Spirit Country, the Lion Spirit Country, and the Sword Spirit Country might send people to deal with you. Although you're strong, you still need to be careful."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Hu Xiang looked at Zhao Hai and said, "I'm not worried about other things. What I'm worried about is that the other countries will use some shady methods. Now that they want to get rid of you, they won't just send people to assassinate you. They might have other methods, such as poisoning, assassination, and so on. You must be careful, especially when you're alone."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Rest assured, 21st Uncle, I know what to do. To be honest, when I heard Cai Jie say that he wanted to focus on me, I was really excited. A Great Sword, that's a Great Sword. If I can take the Great Sword away, wouldn't I be slapping the Sword Spirit Country's face?"
Hu Chen frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense. The Great Sword is so big, how can you take it away? Crane Grass, I know you're already at the Consolidating Equipment Level, but don't be arrogant. There's always someone better than you. Don't look down on others. If you do, you'll be at a disadvantage. Do you understand? "
Zhao Hai quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Tenth Uncle, I know what I'm doing. I'm just saying it at home, don't take it to heart."
Hu Chen nodded and said in a deep voice, "What you did in the Ghost Forest was very good. You let these little guys in the family have some real combat experience at an early age. Moreover, it was a life and death battle. Although Little Cheng died, the others have matured. Now, even Little Jie is very mature. I'm very happy about this. Crane Grass, you're now the number one expert in the younger generation of the Hu Family. Even among the older generation of the family, there aren't many who can surpass you in terms of strength. Therefore, the responsibility on your shoulders has become even heavier. You can't act recklessly. As long as you continue to grow, the Hu Family will rely on you in the future."
Zhao Hai's face grew solemn. He nodded and said, "Tenth Uncle, don't worry. I understand what you're saying. I won't act recklessly. I'm a member of the Hu Family, and that will never change."
Hu Chen nodded and patted Zhao Hai's shoulder, saying, "Go back and see Third Uncle. You're his favorite disciple. Now that you've reached the Consolidating Equipment Level, I'm sure Third Uncle will be even happier. Go, spend more time with him. When you weren't home, he talked about you a lot. I can tell that he misses you a lot."
Zhao Hai also thought of Hu Yuan, and his eyes shone with a gentle light. He missed Hu Yuan very much. Although Zhao Hai's memories were not all about Crane Grass, he could clearly remember how Hu Yuan taught him. He was really grateful to Hu Yuan, and at the same time, he also had some feelings for Hu Yuan. He also wanted to go back and see Hu Yuan, and spend more time with him!
