The patriarch of the Zhe Family sat in the room, while the other families sat beside him. All of them had smiles on their faces. The patriarch of the Zhe Family said, "This Nian Nineteen is really a hopeless person. He forgets righteousness at the sight of profit and is also short-sighted. I think these words were prepared for him. I really don't know how he became the City Lord of Giant Elephant City. A person like him can actually become the leader of the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance. Hahaha, it seems like we made the right choice back then. When the time comes, we must take down Giant Elephant City. Such a big place definitely can't be in the hands of such a stupid person."
The others laughed. They had just returned from Year 1919's place. They were very clear about why Year 1919 had invited them. They were very clear that Year 1919 wanted to rope them in. However, they didn't think that Year 1919 would be so stupid and greedy for money.
When they told Year Nineteen that Zhao Hai must have found the Heavenly Sword Empire's treasury, Year Nineteen's performance was truly unbearable. To be honest, the Zhe Family Patriarch didn't think that Year Nineteen, the City Lord of such a large city-state, would be like this. They only said a rumor that they didn't know if it was true or false, but Year Nineteen actually wanted to deal with the Lost Soul City-State. Moreover, he even said it in front of them. When Year Nineteen discussed with them how to deal with the Lost Soul City-State and how to divide the treasures, they were all shocked. They had never seen such a stupid City Lord.
What we need to do is to make Year Nineteen feel that he has to deal with Zhao Hai. Only then will he make a move. As long as Year One makes a move, then the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance will collapse. At that time, we can join forces with the Sacred Academy and send troops to flatten the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance. At that time, we can obtain countless territories. Then we can proceed according to our previous plan. We will establish a city-state first and then form an alliance. I believe that our alliance will be the largest alliance in the Spiritual Weapon World. At that time, even the Sacred Academy wouldn't dare to give us any face. "
Everyone nodded. This had always been their ambition. They weren't fools, they knew that cooperating with the Sacred Academy was like asking a tiger for its skin. No one knew better than them what the Sacred Academy was capable of. The Sacred Academy wasn't easy to deal with.
However, in the face of great benefits, even enemies can cooperate. The Sacred Academy agreed to their request, this was enough. They also knew that the Sacred Academy might go back on their words after this. However, they believed that as long as they were strong enough, then even the Sacred Academy wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
The Zhe Family's Patriarch looked at everyone and said, "But we still have to leave tomorrow. We can't stay here for too long, it would attract too much attention. If we stay here for too long, it would attract too much attention. Perhaps the other city-states wouldn't think much of it, but the Lost Soul city-states might not think much about it."
At this point, the Zhe Family Patriarch let out a long breath, then he continued, "To be honest, although we are enemies with Zhao Hai, I really admire his ability. What Shi Potian said today, I can see Zhao Hai's shadow behind it. Otherwise, with Shi Potian's character, it would be impossible for him to say those words. Perhaps it was Zhao Hai who ordered Shi Potian to say those words. Shi Potian is the City Lord of Stone Ox City, and the people of Stone Ox City have always been very brave and straightforward. They are the kind of people who speak their mind, from the City Lord to the commoners. It is precisely because of this character that they would suffer losses. But it is also because of this character that their words are more credible. And Zhao Hai took advantage of this point by having Shi Potian say those words. Because of Shi Potian's words, people would feel that it was Zhao Hai who ordered Shi Potian to say those words."
"But why didn't Zhao Hai appear this time? If all of this was ordered by Zhao Hai, then it means that Zhao Hai is a very shrewd person. Then it's impossible for Zhao Hai to not know about Nian Nineteen's actions. Why didn't he stop it and let Nian Nineteen become the Alliance Lord? What good does this do for him? Although they don't need to listen to the Alliance Lord during normal times, and even during wartime, the Alliance Lord can't command them. However, having such a Alliance Lord still made people feel uncomfortable. Zhao Hai has the ability to compete for the position of Alliance Lord, so why didn't he do it? This is too strange. "A Clan member said.
The Zhe Clan's Patriarch also frowned and said, "This is also what I find strange. However, I can also see Zhao Hai's charisma from another perspective. Did you notice that as long as you come in contact with Zhao Hai, you would have a good impression of him? Whenever something happens, you wouldn't hesitate to stand by his side."
When the Patriarchs heard this, they couldn't help but stare. Then they couldn't help but think about the Patriarch's words. After a while, they nodded. This was because the Patriarch's words were based on Shi Potian and the others.
In the beginning, Shi Potian and the others weren't familiar with Zhao Hai. It can be said that they didn't have any contact with him. It was only when the Sacred Academy attacked their city-state that Zhao Hai led his troops to rescue them. During this period of time, they had a short contact. But when Nian Nineteen was fighting against Zhao Hai, Shi Potian and the others didn't hesitate to stand by Zhao Hai's side. They didn't even hesitate to oppose the Sacred Academy. This was a very strange thing.
Just like what the Patriarch said, this also showed Zhao Hai's charisma from another perspective. If Zhao Hai didn't convince Shi Potian and the others, then how could they support Zhao Hai like this? But the more it was like this, the more terrifying Zhao Hai was. This made them even more puzzled.
The Zhe Clan's Patriarch let out a long breath and said, "No matter what the reason is, we're now facing Zhao Hai. Whether Zhao Hai knows that we're his enemies or not, we still need to guard against him. The more powerful Zhao Hai is, the more bad news it is for us. Because of this, we need to be more careful of Zhao Hai in the future."
The other Patriarchs nodded. They also felt that the Patriarch's words were reasonable. No one would like their enemies to be strong. Those who liked their enemies to be strong were definitely looking for trouble.
The Zhe Clan's Patriarch looked at them and said, "Alright, I won't say anything else. Everyone should rest early. We'll leave tomorrow, but we can't lose contact with Nian Nineteen. At the same time, we need to find a way for Nian Nineteen to deal with Zhao Hai as soon as possible." The Patriarchs nodded, then they stood up and turned around to leave.
Seeing the Patriarchs leave, the Zhe Clan's Patriarch couldn't help but let out a long breath. Then he smiled faintly and said, "This feels really good." The feeling he spoke of was naturally the feeling he got when he spoke to others. This feeling of being in a superior position really made him infatuated. Although he knew that he wasn't the real boss of these people, he still liked this feeling.
At this time, Zhao Hai was calmly fiddling with a formation. This formation wasn't big, it was only the size of a palm. However, it looked very complex. The entire formation looked very refined, just like a piece of art.
Beside Zhao Hai were several people. They were shirtless and wore leather aprons as well as trousers. Their skin was somewhat dark, but they looked very sturdy. They were the craftsmen that were sent to the Secret Realm by the Lost Soul city-state. They were the best craftsmen in the Lost Soul city-state. After being sent to the Secret Realm, they studied under Zhao Hai for a period of time. Their level had increased and they were now able to make artifacts.
Their strength wasn't very strong. If they were in other city-states, then they wouldn't be put in an important position. This was because there was a very strange rule in the Spirit Weapon World. Naturally, this was an unwritten rule. It was that all high level jobs could only be done by strong people. If one's strength wasn't enough, then they wouldn't be able to do high level jobs.
Just like the Sacred Institute, if they wanted to research formations and pills, then they would have to be at least at the Void Dance Realm. If they weren't at the Void Dance Realm, then they wouldn't even look at those craftsmen who weren't at the Void Dance Realm.
Perhaps in the eyes of the people of the Spirit Weapon World, only those who were strong were smart. Only they could research formations and refine pills. If you weren't strong, then you weren't very smart. If you weren't smart, then what would you be able to research? Therefore, they didn't support you at all.
However, what these people didn't understand was that some people might be geniuses in cultivation, but in other aspects, they were idiots. Some people were idiots in cultivation, but in other aspects, they were geniuses.
Maybe it wasn't that the people in the Sacred Institute didn't understand, but that they didn't want to understand. In the Spirit Weapon World, strength was the most important thing. Everyone who was in a high position was a powerful person. Therefore, they didn't want those who weren't strong enough to obtain a higher position. Therefore, they would suppress those who weren't good at cultivation but were talented in other aspects. This was because in their eyes, cultivation was the right path. Everything else could be put aside. They couldn't accept that a person who was much weaker than them could have the same position as them. This was a provocation to them.
However, Zhao Hai didn't have such thoughts. He was very clear that only developing one's force without paying attention to other aspects was not feasible. Not only would it not make one's force develop faster, it would also slow down the development of one's force. Just like the current Spirit Weapon Realm, although there were a lot of experts, there weren't a lot of top experts. Moreover, their weapons, pills, and formations couldn't keep up with the development of other experts. To be honest, an expert without good weapons and pills was a very sad situation. Zhao Hai didn't think that Zhao Hai would be able to keep up with the development of other experts.
