Although the Long Family's Patriarch was like an invisible person, he wasn't truly invisible. He had seen everything that had happened when the Broken River Martialists had gathered. His invisible state had an advantage, which was that he had become a bystander. It's said that the onlooker sees more clearly. This point was well reflected in the Long Family's Ancestor. The Long Family's Ancestor was really a bystander. Moreover, he was also aware of Zhao Hai's strength.
Others might not be able to feel it because they were the ones involved. However, the Long Family's Ancestor could clearly see that after Tang Ming and the others appeared, the entire scene was slowly being controlled by them. Moreover, the process of their control didn't leave any traces. It made people unconsciously think that they were right, that they were thinking for their own good. Such people were really terrifying.
Whether Tang Ming and the others' methods were taught by Zhao Hai or not, in the Long Family's Ancestor's opinion, Zhao Hai was an incomparably powerful person. If Tang Ming and the others were taught by Zhao Hai, then it can only be said that Zhao Hai's intelligence was close to that of a demon. He already thought of this situation and made arrangements in advance. How could such a person not be terrifying? How could he not be powerful?
If Tang Ming and the others weren't taught by Zhao Hai, then Zhao Hai was also terrifying. Tang Ming and the others were Zhao Hai's people. If Zhao Hai could command such people, then how could he not be terrifying? At the very least, Zhao Hai was more terrifying than Tang Ming and the others. He was also a very powerful person.
Because of this, the Long Family's Ancestor immediately sent a letter to Long Tianlin about what happened in the assembly point. Moreover, he told Long Tianlin to be careful of Zhao Hai.
After reading the letter, the old man turned to Long Tianlin and said, "Young Master, it seems like my previous guess about Zhao Hai is most likely true. Although on the surface, the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance is still controlled by Year 19 and the other city-states' City Lords, while Zhao Hai's group is being suppressed and pushed aside. But if you look carefully, you can see that Zhao Hai's goals have all been achieved. He has no way to command the armies of the other city-states, and Year 19, as the Alliance Leader, also has no way to command his army. Their River Breaking Level experts have been pushed aside, but this time, the River Breaking Level experts who came along with them will certainly be grateful to Zhao Hai. These River Breaking Level experts will remember this favor in their hearts. In fact, they have already broken into this circle. Fierce, they have already quietly completed their own arrangements."
Long Tianlin nodded, then he smiled bitterly and said, "I thought that our opportunity had come. But now I discovered that compared to Zhao Hai, those fellows from the Holy Courtyard are too far behind. Those with the character 'Holy' in their name might be sinister, but if they do something, people would know that it was them. Because of this, they have a lot of enemies. But what Zhao Hai does, you might be sold by him, but you're still helping him count the money. Fierce, too fierce."
The old man smiled bitterly. To be honest, no one wanted to meet a person like Zhao, but such a person had already appeared. Even if they didn't want to meet him, it was impossible. There were only two paths to go. One was to fight to the death with him, and the other was to surrender to him and become his subordinate. Aside from these two paths, there was almost no other path to take.
In the old man's opinion, although the Stoneox City and the other clans were allies of Zhao Hai, it was only because the time wasn't right. When the time comes, they would definitely submit to Zhao Hai. If they don't submit to Zhao Hai, then they wouldn't be able to survive. This was Zhao Hai's strongest point.
Long Tianlin let out a long breath and said, "No matter, we'll just watch the show this time. If everything is as Great Grandfather said, then our Long Clan wouldn't lose face even if we submit to Zhao Hai. However, I still want to see Zhao Hai."
The old man nodded and said, "I'll arrange for the letter to be delivered to Yu Mo as soon as possible. Young Master, you can rest assured."
Long Tianlin nodded and said in a deep voice: "Contact our people secretly. If Nian 190 loses this time, the Alliance of the Great Clans may rebel against the Alliance of the Holy Institute. At that time, they will have no choice but to rely on the Holy Institute. The Holy Institute and our Long Clan have a huge grudge against each other. They may try to harm our Long Clan. Tell our people to be prepared, if necessary, we will act first."
The old man understood Long Tianlin's meaning. With the Long Clan's current strength, they wouldn't be able to deal with the alliance of the Family Alliance and the Holy Academy. If the Family Alliance really rebelled against the Holy Academy, then it would mean that the Holy Academy would enter the Lesser Dragon City. At that time, the Long Clan would have no choice but to fight to the death. They would deal with those people first and then immediately withdraw.
Long Tianlin and the old man hadn't been idle these years. In addition to training a group of loyal subordinates and supporting some loyal clans, they had also spent most of their energy preparing for the future. This was because they were afraid that the Alliance of Clans or the Sacred Institute would attack the Long Family. Although the Long Family had recovered some of their strength, their strength wasn't enough to confront the Alliance of Clans or the Sacred Institute. Therefore, they had to prepare a path of retreat for themselves. A path of retreat where no one was in the way, an absolutely safe path of retreat.
Long Tianlin looked at the front yard and coldly said, "Nian Nineteen is an idiot, the other City Lords aren't any better, they can't see the situation clearly, they can't see the people clearly. Forget it, let's not talk about them, let's just do our job. Now that Nian Nineteen is living in the front yard, no one will pay attention to us. Our Long Family has already fallen to this point, in the eyes of those people, our Long Family's bones are already broken, there's no need to pay attention to us."
The old man nodded, then he coldly said, "Just wait, we'll have the opportunity to make them pay the price."
While the old man and Long Tianlin were discussing these matters, Zhao Hai had already returned to the city of Lost Souls. The training in the Secret Realm was already on track. In order to make the people in the Secret Realm feel at ease, Zhao Hai had already used various methods to bring the families of the people in the Secret Realm to the city of Lost Souls. Naturally, these people didn't go to the city of Lost Souls at first, they went to other cities first before going to the city of Lost Souls. This way, nobody would know where they went, and nobody would know about their relationship with Zhao Hai.
Even if their whereabouts were known, it wouldn't matter. At this time, these people were in the alliance against the Sacred Academy. And since the Secret Realm had a very close relationship with the Sacred Academy, it would be impossible for them to monitor these people. And besides the Secret Realm, nobody would care about these people's whereabouts.
Although some of these people's family members were experts, the city-states didn't have much energy to pay attention to them at this time. Not to mention, some of the people in the secret realm didn't even have family members who were there anymore.
Bringing these people's families to the city of Lost Souls was tantamount to solving these people's worries. At the same time, these people were also completely part of the city of Lost Souls.
However, this time, Zhao Hai didn't return to the city of Lost Souls just to send troops. He came out of the Secret Realm this time because of a good thing. Che Xiaoguang and the others finally came out of seclusion. They could finally attack the River Breaking Realm. Zhao Hai came out with them this time, preparing for them to attack the River Breaking Realm.
Naturally, Che Xiaoguang and the others were still in the Lost Souls Mountain base. Zhao Hai also sent Sword One and the others to the Secret Realm. Only Mister Insect was left in the base. Naturally, Zhao Hai didn't treat Mister Insect unfairly. Mister Insect was given the method of cultivating Natural Energy that Zhao Hai knew. Although this method couldn't replace Mister Insect's current method, it can still make his insects more powerful. For Mister Insect, this was also a way to increase his strength.
Moreover, when Mister Insect's insects were strong enough, Zhao Hai was going to teach him how to introduce the insect's power into his body. This would strengthen his body as well as his strength.
The reason why Zhao Hai did this was because Mister Insect's situation was different from the others. The others weren't very old, so they could attack the River Breaking Realm like normal people. However, Mister Insect was different. Mister Insect was very old, he could be considered very old. His body's functions had already deteriorated. If he didn't use some special methods, then he wouldn't be able to reach the River Breaking Realm in his lifetime. Therefore, Zhao Hai could only use this method.
As for Stonehammer and the others, Zhao Hai was very clear that the method used on the others wouldn't work on Stonehammer and the others. Stonehammer and the others were also cultivating. However, their cultivation speed couldn't be compared to Tang Ming and the others. This was because Stonehammer and the others weren't humans, they belonged to the Demon Race. It was very difficult for the Demon Race to advance, at least it was much more difficult than the Human Race.
At this point, Stonehammer and the others could basically eat pills like jelly beans and bone beads as the most common cultivation materials. To be honest, besides Zhao Hai, nobody could be this extravagant.
However, the effect was very good. Although Stonehammer and the others were still at the Sky Dance Realm, they were already on the verge of reaching the Broken River Realm. However, if one were to compare their fighting strength, they wouldn't necessarily be much worse than a Broken River Realm expert. Especially after they revert back to their original form, their fighting strength would have a qualitative upgrade. Dealing with a Broken River Realm expert wouldn't be a problem.
At this point, Zhao Hai's strength was very strong. However, he still couldn't deal with the people in the Secret Realm. This was because the situation in the Secret Realm was very special. Most of the backbone of the Anti-Holy Academy Alliance were now concentrated in the base. However, there were a lot of people in the headquarters who were on the fence. These people didn't have a good impression of the Holy Academy, but they didn't hate the Holy Academy. They might curse the Holy Academy a bit, but they couldn't really go against the Holy Academy. Most importantly, if the Holy Academy gave them some benefits, such as allowing them to return home, or even give their families some benefits, then they might become the Holy Academy's chess pieces. In this case, Zhao Hai wouldn't immediately take action in the Secret Realm.
