Zhao Hai was sitting in the woods. Stonehammer and the others were standing not far away from him, guarding him. They had been in the woods for two days. Now that they had fully recovered, Zhao Hai felt that he should proceed with the next step of his plan.
But before that, Zhao Hai had something to say to Stonehammer and the others. Zhao Hai looked at Stonehammer and the others and said, "Stonehammer, come here. I have something to say to you."
Although Stonehammer and the others were puzzled, they still went to Zhao Hai's side. Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Do you think that it's strange that I can kill so many people? Why would I say that the number of people I killed is nothing compared to the number of people I killed before?" Stonehammer and the others were puzzled, but they still went to Zhao Hai's side.
Stonehammer and the others nodded, but they didn't say anything. Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Actually, there's nothing strange about this. Let me tell you, I can't be considered as a person from the Soul World."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Stonehammer and the others were stunned. They looked at Zhao Hai in confusion, they didn't know what he meant. They had been following Zhao Hai for a long time, so how could Zhao Hai say that he wasn't a person from the Soul World? Especially Iron Thread Grass, he was the first to follow Zhao Hai, so he was very clear about how Zhao Hai reached where he is today. Now that Zhao Hai said that he wasn't a person from the Soul World, he was very surprised.
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "When I said that I'm not a person from the Soul World, I meant that I have the thoughts of my previous life. I can't say that it was my previous life. I can only say that my soul was forcibly pulled to the Soul World and became a small baby. Later on, my memory was restored, and I knew about my own matters."
Zhao Hai looked at Stonehammer and the others and said, "I know that you have to remember that I can't be considered as a person from the Soul World. I'm still staying in the Soul World because my strength isn't enough. If I can restore even 1% of my strength, I would have left the Soul World long ago. And you are my most trusted people, so when I leave, I will take you with me. The cultivation methods that I taught you don't belong to the Soul World. Those cultivation methods can only show their power in the outside world. But you still have to work hard, if you don't work hard, then you won't be qualified to follow me. My weakest subordinates outside are much stronger than you."
Stonehammer and the others were somewhat confused. To be honest, they didn't understand Zhao Hai's words. But they understood that Zhao Hai was a big shot, and he wasn't a person from the Soul World. He was working hard to go back.
But even if they knew this, it was useless. For them, they only needed to listen to Zhao Hai's orders. No matter what Zhao Hai's identity was, they would still follow Zhao Hai.
When Zhao Hai saw their expressions, he knew that his words were superfluous. So he didn't say anything more. Instead, he said to the others, "Alright, you just need to know about this matter. Don't talk about it. It's almost time. I think that our matter has already spread across the continent. Let's go out of the forest and see what kind of attitude the people of the continent have towards me."
Stonehammer and the others nodded and then stood up. Zhao Hai also stood up. This time, he didn't walk through the forest but instead flew. They were still very close to Dabei City. They couldn't see any cities nearby, so they still needed to fly for a while.
Zhao Hai and the others flew for about five hours before they finally entered another city-state. This city-state was called Crooked River City. It was a small city-state with only ten city-states under its control. Among them, Crooked River City was the only big city. However, the reason why Crooked River City was able to survive until now was because of its navy. Moreover, the City Lord of Crooked River City didn't live in Crooked River City, but in a very special place called Immortal Lake. In this Immortal Lake, there was a small island called Garrison Island. According to legend, this island was where the Heavenly Sword Empire stationed their navy. Because of this, there was a small military fortress on this island. And now, this fortress was the residence of the City Lord of Crooked River City.
It was also because of this fortress that Crooked River City was able to survive. This was because their navy was very strong. Additionally, the City Lord of Crooked River City also had a lot of experts. In addition to the defensive capabilities of Garrison Island, although Crooked River City was a small city-state, its strength wasn't weak. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to make a move on them.
Zhao Hai and the others entered Crooked River City. However, the place they arrived at wasn't Crooked River City, but a small city called Dock City.
The reason why Dock City was called this was because there was a large shipyard here. It was said that this shipyard was left behind by the Heavenly Sword Empire. Later on, the shipyard was abandoned. However, the city still existed.
Zhao Hai and the others flew above Dock City before landing outside the city. They didn't fly directly into the city. Doing so would be an obvious provocation. Zhao Hai didn't want to make more enemies.
After landing outside the city, they slowly walked towards the city. Dock City was a small city, so the city gate wasn't very big. At the city gate, there were several soldiers standing guard, but looking at their appearance, one could see that they weren't elites. Each and every one of them had a weak appearance.
Zhao Hai found it strange. Crooked River City was very close to Dabei City. It was impossible for them to not know about what happened in Dabei City. Even after knowing that something big happened in Dabei City, the city's defenses were still this bad. This was something that Zhao Hai couldn't understand. Crooked River City was very close to Dabei City.
Actually, what Zhao Hai didn't know was that this was all because of his fame. Now, the name of Crane Grass had already spread throughout the entire spirit weapon world. Everyone knew that his strength was incomparably formidable. He alone could destroy a medium sized city-state, and even a Breaking River Level expert. One must know that in a small city-state like Crooked River City-State, there wouldn't be a Breaking River Level expert overseeing it. A city-state with a Breaking River Level expert overseeing it had to be at least a medium sized city-state.
However, a Breaking River Level expert would only make a move when their city was in a life and death situation. Just like when Zhao Hai wanted to destroy Dabei City. At that time, the Breaking River Level expert of Dabei City came back from outside. However, there was no other way. Zhao Hai's actions were too fast. Because of this, the Breaking River Level expert was one step too late. But even if he came early, it would be useless. Zhao Hai would still destroy him.
Their strength couldn't be compared to Dabei City, and they didn't have a strong backer. Therefore, when a small city like Crooked River City knew about what happened in Dabei City, the only thing they could do was wait. Don't talk about increasing their defense. Even if they did, how could their defense be stronger than Dabei City's? Moreover, if they increased their defense, it would seem like they were hostile. For a small city like Crooked River City, they wouldn't dare to show any hostility towards Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai and the others didn't stop at the city gate. Instead, they directly entered the city. Upon entering the Dock City, Zhao Hai felt that he was being watched. Moreover, it wasn't just one person. However, Zhao Hai didn't care. He led Stonehammer and the others into the city. As usual, they looked for a hotel and booked a courtyard. Then they came out of the hotel and strolled around the city.
When Zhao Hai entered the Dock City, the news of him entering the city spread out in an instant. The first person to receive this news was Crooked River City's Lord, Qu Haibo.
Qu Haibo was currently sitting in his study dealing with the matters of the city-state. He was currently very annoyed because a lot of refugees had arrived in his territory. Naturally, these refugees had escaped from Dabei City and were lucky enough to survive. However, when they arrived in Qu Haibo's territory, they brought a lot of trouble to Qu Haibo. Their food and necessities were very troublesome.
If it weren't for this situation, Qu Haibo would've been happy that Dabei City was destroyed. This was because Dabei City was destroyed by Zhao Hai. With Zhao Hai's strength, Qu Haibo didn't dare to go to Dabei City to occupy territory. He was afraid that if he angered Zhao Hai, then his Crooked River City would follow in Dabei City's footsteps.
Even if Zhao Hai didn't care about Dabei City, Qu Haibo still didn't dare to make a move. After all, Dabei City was very close to the Holy Court. Who knows if he would offend the Holy Court by occupying territory. If the Holy Court was truly angered, then his small Crooked River City would be done for.
Qu Haibo looked at the big piece of fat meat that was being accepted as refugees. Thinking about this, Qu Haibo felt a headache. What gave Qu Haibo the biggest headache was the news that he received from the Wen Clan. They wanted him to help pay attention to Zhao Hai's movements. If Zhao Hai was discovered, then he must immediately inform the Wen Clan. This was what gave Qu Haibo the biggest headache. He was afraid that he would offend Zhao Hai because of this matter. If Zhao Hai went crazy, then his Crooked River City would be finished.
At this time, Qu Haibo was sitting in his study room with a bitter expression as he looked at the documents in front of him. At this time, a knock was heard on the door. Then a voice said, "City Lord, news came from Dock City. Tian Crane Cao's group was found. They asked you what to do."
Upon hearing this, Qu Haibo couldn't help but stare. Then his expression changed. Then he immediately said, "Come in." The person outside the door nodded and then came in. This person was Qu Haibo's steward. He was absolutely loyal to Qu Haibo. Therefore, when Qu Haibo saw the letter, he knew that it was true.
Qu Haibo looked at the steward and said, "Tell me, what's going on? Tian Crane Cao was found there? "
The steward nodded and said, "Yes, City Lord. Just now, news came from Dock City. They found Tian Crane Cao's group. Although it's just a suspicion, it's almost certain. Tian Crane Cao's group just entered the city not long ago. They were sitting in the Captain's Inn and had even booked a courtyard. City Lord, what should we do now?"
