If Zhe Yang's threat was directed at the other experts of the Spirit Weapon Realm, then his threat might still be effective. After all, the Yalong City was the biggest force in the Spirit Weapon Realm. Although the Zhe Clan wasn't the biggest clan in the Yalong City, they were still one of the few great clans.
Unfortunately, Zhe Yang was facing Stonehammer and the others. Although Stonehammer and the others had a certain understanding of the Spirit Weapon Realm, they were still lacking compared to the locals. Not to mention, the Yalong City was thousands of miles away from the Lost Soul Mountain. They had never heard of the Zhe Clan.
Because of this, after Zhe Yang threatened Stonehammer and the others, they didn't say anything and directly attacked. This time, Stonehammer and the others took out the weapons that Zhao Hai prepared for them and attacked Zhe Yang's group.
When Zhe Yang and the others saw that Stonehammer and the others were attacking them with weapons and didn't turn into their souls, they felt angry. However, they immediately transformed. After all, they weren't Bitter Cultivators. If they wanted to deal with Stonehammer and the others, then they must transform.
Zhe Yang turned into a ten meter long snake. As for his subordinates, some of them turned into weapons, while others turned into animals. They directly attacked Shi Chui and the others.
Although Stonehammer and the others weren't in their strongest state, their strength wasn't weak. The weapons in their hands were refined by Zhao Hai, and they weren't ordinary weapons. Just like the Golden Shark Sword and the Jasper Golden Light Sword, all of the weapons refined by Zhao Hai had an offensive attribute. They had infinite uses. If one treated them as ordinary weapons, then they would suffer a lot.
Obviously, Zhe Yang and the others had never seen such a weapon before. Therefore, they suffered a huge loss this time. When they first fought with Stonehammer and the others, they didn't seem to care much about their weapons. One couldn't blame them for doing so, because in the world of Spiritual Weapons, once one's strength reaches the Void Dance Realm, those weapons would be infinitely weakened. So how could Zhe Yang and the others care about their weapons?
It was precisely because they didn't care about their weapons that Zhe Yang and the others suffered a big loss. After being hit by Stonehammer and the others, all of them were injured.
This time, the strength of Zhe Yang and the others wasn't much different from Stonehammer and the others. Stonehammer and the others were already at an advantage by using the weapons that Zhao Hai gave them. Now that Zhe Yang and the others were injured, Stonehammer and the others had an advantage. In just a few rounds, Stonehammer and the others had the upper hand.
Zhao Hai has been observing the situation on the battlefield. When he saw that the other side only had seven people, he knew that it was impossible for them to win against Stonehammer and the others. Although the other side's strength wasn't weak, if Stonehammer and the others revealed their true bodies, then they would lose. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't worry, he just quietly observed the battlefield.
As for Zhe Yang's threat, although Zhao Hai also saw it, he didn't take it to heart. He was a cultivator, and the path of cultivation was about going straight to the heart. He didn't want to care about the Soul Realm, he just wanted to go home. Therefore, he didn't want to develop his own forces in the Soul Realm. However, this didn't mean that anyone could make a move on him. Don't forget that he still had the Hu Clan behind him. Because of the Hu Clan, Zhao Hai didn't develop his own forces. But at the same time, those who dared to oppose the Hu Clan were all dealt with by Zhao Hai.
It was the same in the Wen Ji Continent and the Expert Continent. In the Wen Ji Continent, Zhao Hai dealt with the people from the Chess Hall. But in the end, both sides reconciled. As for the Expert Continent, when Zhao Hai appeared, he already had an enmity with the Ant Kingdom. It was precisely because of this that he went to the Lone Dragon Ridge and directly faced the Ant Kingdom's army. In the end, he even threatened three Broken River Experts. All of this was what he wanted to do. Doing what he wanted to do was to go straight to the heart. Only by doing this would one be able to go further on the path of cultivation.
The same was true in the Spirit Weapon Realm. Zhao Hai didn't want to see Kaoshan City being massacred. In the end, he became the City Lord of Kaoshan City. After becoming the City Lord, he had to bear the responsibility of being the City Lord. Because of this, Zhao Hai made a move against the Spirit Snake City-State. Since he already made a move, then there was nothing to worry about. No matter who was behind this enemy, they must be defeated.
Stone Hammer and the others have been with Zhao Hai for a long time. They also learned Zhao Hai's style. Zhao Hai's style was very simple. He wanted to defeat all his enemies. Moreover, it wasn't as simple as defeating them. He wanted to make sure that they would never be able to recover. In other words, as long as it was an enemy, he would kill them without mercy.
Although Zhe Yang's group wasn't weak, but when they faced Stonehammer's group and were injured, they weren't enough. It didn't take long before Zhe Yang's group was killed one after another. At this time, Zhe Yang also discovered that his situation wasn't good.
He fiercely looked at Stone Hammer and the others, then he roared, "Just you wait, I won't let you off." After he said that, a white light flashed from his body before he disappeared from the battlefield.
Upon seeing Zhe Yang's disappearance, Stone Hammer and the others couldn't help but stare. They didn't know what happened, nor did they know how Zhe Yang disappeared.
However, Zhao Hai knew that Zhe Yang didn't disappear for no reason. Zhe Yang used a transmission formation. This made Zhao Hai surprised. He didn't expect the Spirit Weapon Realm's formations to be this good. People were already using transmission formations.
When Stone Hammer and the others returned to Zhao Hai's side, they gave Zhao Hai a salute. Then Stone Hammer looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, I'm sorry. One of them escaped."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "It's fine, I don't blame you. I didn't think it through. Alright, you go down and take a look at the army below. See if there are people who are willing to surrender and those who aren't. Gather them up, take their weapons, and lock them up." Stone Hammer and the others nodded and then went down to the army below.
More than half of the army below had surrendered. However, there were still some who didn't. They resisted, but after Stone Hammer and the others killed some of them, they had no choice but to surrender. This was because they were surrounded by all kinds of plants. They couldn't run even if they wanted to.
Zhao Hai and the others also understood that most of the people who surrendered were from the Azure Wolf City-State. As for those who didn't surrender, they were from the Spirit Snake City-State.
Although Zhao Hai and the others defeated the people from the Spirit Snake City-State, the Spirit Snake City-State still had a lot of troops that hadn't been mobilized. Because of this, the people from the Spirit Snake City-State weren't completely defeated. Therefore, it was understandable that they didn't surrender. Additionally, since they were from the Spirit Snake City-State, their families would certainly be in the Spirit Snake City-State. If they surrendered so easily, then their families would be in trouble. Therefore, they still resisted and surrendered.
Zhao Hai was very relaxed when it came to the people from the Azure Wolf City-State. As for the people from the Spirit Snake City-State, he took their weapons and locked them up in the barracks, making the people from the Azure Wolf City-State keep an eye on them.
In the Spirit Weapon Realm, soldiers like this wouldn't transform into weapons on the battlefield. This was because these soldiers weren't very strong. If they transformed into weapons, they wouldn't be able to fight for long. In that case, they could only wait for death. Therefore, in the Spirit Weapon Realm, ordinary soldiers would also use weapons. Their weapons would also contain a certain amount of gold. However, the ratio would be very small. If Stone Hammer and the others were to use a 10: 1 ratio of gold, then the amount of gold in the weapons of these soldiers would be a 1000: 1 ratio, or even less.
After using a day to deal with these soldiers, Zhao Hai sent the surrendered troops to take over the Azure Wolf City-State's territory. Naturally, the most important city was Azure Wolf City. The entire process went so smoothly that Zhao Hai was surprised. All the cities in the Azure Wolf City-State surrendered without any resistance. Moreover, the people from the Spirit Snake City-State had already heard the news and ran away. This allowed Zhao Hai to smoothly take over the Azure Wolf City-State's territory. This process didn't even take a month for Zhao Hai.
What surprised Zhao Hai was that during this month, the people from the Spirit Snake City-State didn't attack Zhao Hai's group. This allowed Zhao Hai to smoothly take over the Azure Wolf City-State's territory. This made Zhao Hai very surprised.
While Zhao Hai was reorganizing the Azure Wolf City-State's territory, he also sent his men to the Spirit Snake City-State to inquire about information. At this time, Zhao Hai already knew about the Zhe Family's background. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai felt strange. The Zhe Family was a big family in the Yalong City-State. How could they suffer such a loss and silently accept it? This was absolutely impossible. They must have other plans. But what was their plan? This was what Zhao Hai wanted to know the most.
After Zhao Hai took over the Azure Wolf City-State, the first thing he needed to do was to reorganize the city's officials. Some unqualified officials couldn't be used, while some capable officials needed to be promoted. However, this wasn't an easy thing to do. The cities in the Lost Soul Mountains could be said to have been full of war. And in such an environment, clans were still able to form. This showed that they weren't simple. These clans were deeply rooted in the local area. If he couldn't deal with these clans well, then he wouldn't be able to deal with the city's affairs.
However, Zhao Hai was also very clear that with these clans present, it was impossible for him to truly control the cities. Although he could collect taxes from the cities, the ones who truly controlled the cities were the local clans.
If he wanted to control the cities, then he must first deal with these guys. But if Zhao Hai went all out to deal with these clans, then it would cause a backlash from the clans in the Azure Wolf City-State. Then the newly acquired Azure Wolf City-State would fall into chaos. This wasn't what Zhao Hai wanted.
