The situation in the Weapon Spirit Continent was getting worse and worse. The people of the Saber Spirit Nation seemed to have opened Pandora's box and released a devil. Now, the Dark Soldier Nation was completely finished. Thieves were everywhere. Even if the Dark Soldier Nation sent out a Sky Dance Realm expert, they wouldn't be able to do anything to those thieves. This was because there were also experts among those thieves.
This was truly incomprehensible. You're a Sky Dance Realm expert. Even if you don't become a Thief, your status in any country wouldn't be too low. Yet you chose to become a Thief. Isn't this the same as abandoning yourself?
However, those Sky Dance Realm experts didn't think this way. They might have a high status in the Dark Soldier Nation, but so what? In the end, they would still be controlled by others. Moreover, after becoming a thief, they would be able to become the leader of a fort. Then, they would be equivalent to a small King. They would have a lot of power.
Once a person tasted the taste of power, it would be very difficult for them to let it go. Therefore, the Dark Soldier Nation was now filled with thieves. Moreover, it wasn't just the Dark Soldier Nation. The situation in the other nations wasn't any better. Even the Saber Spirit Nation's situation was getting out of control.
Now, there were indeed no other nations that would attack the Saber Spirit Nation. However, the Saber Spirit Nation was also finished. In the entire nation, only the Saber City was under the control of the Dao Clan. The people in the other cities had all run away. Even if they didn't run away, they wouldn't listen to the Dao Clan. On the contrary, some cities were controlled by the local Great Clans. They had already established themselves as Kings.
It wasn't strange for these cities to have such a reaction. After the Saber Spirit Nation burned their food, it was equivalent to forcing them into a dead end. If it weren't for the Great Clans that had connections with other nations, they would have starved to death.
Some cities that didn't have any Great Clans were unlucky. At least half of the people in the city starved to death. The rest of the people naturally ran to other nations as refugees.
However, when they reached other nations, they found that they had no way to survive. This was because the people in those nations had no way to help them. This was because the people in those nations didn't have any extra food.
These refugees had already reached the point of eating grass, tree bark, and even children. When people reach this point, they would do anything. Naturally, they would attack those who had food. Because of this, those countries were in a state of chaos.
At this point, aside from the Lion Soul Nation, there was no other nation in the Soldier Spirit Continent that didn't have Thieves. The number of Thieves in the Sword Spirit Nation was quite small. After all, the Sword Spirit Nation's strength was quite high. Because of this, they were able to control the situation. On the other hand, the other nations that were affected by this attack were having a hard time. Especially the Tiger Soul Country.
The Tiger Soul Country's situation was somewhat similar to the Dark Soldier Country. The entire country had very little arable land. Their country's food production wasn't much. Now that they were attacked by the refugees, the country's food production immediately became strained. And with the mountainous terrain of the country, it naturally became a paradise for Thieves.
On the other hand, the situation of the Wolf Spirit Country wasn't any better. Although the Wolf Spirit Country was located in the Prairie, and after years of recuperation, the Wolf Spirit Country didn't get any benefits from the Saber Spirit Country. They were able to snatch a lot of people back, but what's the use of that? Without food, how are they going to feed those people? In the past, the Wolf Soul Country would snatch people from the Saber Spirit Nation. But at the same time, they could also snatch food from the Saber Spirit Nation. In this case, they naturally had a way to feed those people.
But this time, the Saber Spirit Nation burned all of their food. The Wolf Soul Country couldn't snatch any food. In this case, even if they managed to snatch people back, they still wouldn't be able to feed them.
Moreover, the Wolf Soul Country couldn't escape the attack of the refugees just because they were in the Prairie. Some of the refugees thought that they would be able to find more food in the Prairie. Because of this, they also rushed into the Prairie. As long as they encountered a small army, the refugees would immediately rush up and rob them. There were too many refugees, so naturally, the small tribes couldn't stop them. And after robbing the small tribes, the refugees would be able to obtain weapons and warhorses. Then they would be able to rob other tribes.
To be honest, no one thought that the Weapon Spirit Continent would become like this. Even Zhao Hai didn't expect this. The situation in the Weapon Spirit Continent changed too fast. It was so fast that people didn't even have time to react.
In the end, it was still the Saber Spirit Nation's problem. This time, the Saber Spirit Nation turned their people into refugees. In this case, no one had time to react. This was because no one thought that the Saber Spirit Nation would actually make a move against their own people. This wasn't called madness, it was simply madness.
But now that the situation has become like this, no one could do anything about it. Even Zhao Hai didn't have a good solution. He had food as well as a lot of warships. However, he couldn't make a move right now. He had to wait until Xia Yu left.
Fortunately, two months wasn't a long time. In these two months, the people of the Lost Soul Empire didn't do anything else other than preparing food. This was because the Weapon Spirit Continent needed food right now.
Two months was too short for a cultivator. But for a busy person, two months wasn't long. In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. Xia Yu also came out of seclusion.
It was impossible for Xia Yu to wait until the time was up. This was because it was too risky. Therefore, Xia Yu still had more than ten days before he came out.
Zhao Hai invited Xia Yu to his room. Then he looked at Xia Yu and smiled faintly, "Brother Xia, it seems like your seclusion has helped you a lot. You look much more spirited."
Xia Yu laughed heartily and said, "Of course, I feel much younger now." Xia Yu wasn't speaking nonsense. He really did feel this way. The spiritual qi here was very lively. Because of this, he felt much younger than before.
Moreover, Xia Yu didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the density of spiritual energy in the mystic realm was even denser than the last time he was here. This was something he didn't expect.
However, Xia Yu didn't say anything. Having grown up in the Sword Spirit World, he knew very well that there were some things that couldn't be asked, even if it was someone who had a very good relationship with you. Because if you asked, you might offend them.
Zhao Hai looked at Xia Yu and smiled. Then he waved his hand and took out the Serpentine Grass. Then he looked at Xia Yu and said, "Brother Xia, I've been taking care of this Serpentine Grass for you. I calculated that you should be coming out of seclusion soon, so I dug it out. You can put it in your Sumeru Alert. It won't die."
Xia Yu immediately nodded happily. Then he received the Serpentine Grass. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Little Hai, you don't need to worry about the Sword Spirit World. I'm here. The Evil Spirit Sect shouldn't come looking for you. You can rest assured."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I'll be careful. Brother Xia, if you need anything, please don't hesitate to tell me. Right, I have some herbs here. Do you need them? If you need them, I can give you some. "
When Xia Yu heard Zhao Hai, his interest was immediately piqued. He immediately said, "What herbs do you have? Let me take a look." Xia Yu was an expert in alchemy. In fact, the Xia Family's alchemy skills weren't bad. This was also one of the family's main businesses.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly. Then he waved his hand and a row of jade boxes appeared in front of him. Then he placed the jade boxes in front of Xia Yu. After opening one of the jade boxes, Xia Yu's eyes couldn't help but shrink. Inside the jade box was a ginseng. This ginseng was as thick as a child's arm and had a humanoid shape. One could see that this ginseng was at least a thousand years old.
Although ginseng was a common thing in the Sword Spirit Boundary, ginseng like this was very rare. Ginseng like this was very valuable in the Sword Spirit Boundary.
Xia Yu gently closed the jade box. Then he picked up the other jade boxes and looked at them. He discovered that these jade boxes were filled with ordinary herbs. They weren't heavenly treasures. However, these herbs were very old. Even if they were ordinary herbs, their value would still be very high. It can be said that these things would be good even in the Sword Spirit Boundary.
Xia Yu closed the jade boxes, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "These are all good things. Little Hai, these things would be good even in the Sword Spirit Realm. I can't just take these things for free. Tell me, what do you want?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "What do you want?"
Zhao Hai looked at Xia Yu and smiled, "Brother Xia, you're treating me like an outsider. I really don't want anything. But if you really want to say it, then next time you come, bring me some plants or animals that are unique to the Sword Spirit Boundary."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's request, Xia Yu stared. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Just these? You don't want plants or animals? You don't want anything else? What about artifacts? What about pills? You don't want them? "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I don't need those. You should know that even if you bring the best artifacts from the upper realm here, they wouldn't be of much use. As for pills, I don't need them. I just want some plants and animals. It would be best if you can get some ores as well. But I only need ores, not refined ones." Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I don't need them.
When Xia Yu heard this, he nodded. Then he received the jade boxes and said, "Alright, leave this matter to me. I'll give you the things you want next time. Since it's already late, I'll be heading back first. Let's keep in touch. You don't have to worry about the ascended realm." Zhao Hai nodded, then he received the jade boxes and said, "Alright, leave this matter to me. Zhao Hai nodded. Xia Yu stood up and cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai. Then his figure moved and flew out of Zhao Hai's room. Then he slowly flew towards the spatial passage and disappeared. At the same time, the spatial passage slowly closed.
Upon seeing Xia Yu leave, Zhao Hai immediately called Wen Wenhai and the others over. Everyone quickly arrived at the conference room. After everyone arrived, Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Xia Yu has left. We can proceed with our plan. Everyone should immediately return to the army. Ten days later, we'll head to the Soldier Spirit Continent." Everyone nodded. Then they stood up and gave Zhao Hai a salute before they turned around and left.
However, Zhao Hai stopped Wen Wenhai, Shi Chui, and Long Tianlin. After everyone left, Zhao Hai looked at the group and said, "I haven't been looking for you in the past few days. Therefore, there's something that you might not know. A few days ago, the Soldier Spirit Continent sent a group of messengers. They said that they wanted to send me a manuscript of the war between us and the Evil Spirit Sect. I think everyone knows about this, right?"
Wen Wenhai and the others nodded, then Wen Wenhai smiled and said, "Not only that, I also have a copy of 'Exorcism' in my hands. They've already printed it into a book and it's already on sale. I heard that the sales are very good. As far as I know, a lot of people in the Lost Soul Empire are buying it."
Shi Chui and Long Tianlin chuckled as well. Long Tianlin smiled and said, "Right, I also bought a copy. Since I didn't go to the battlefield, I wanted to know what it was like. After reading the book, I felt my blood boil." Shi Chui and Long Tianlin chuckled.
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "That book is a bit exaggerated, I already had them keep it. You didn't see the manuscript that was just sent to me. What I want to say is that the Eight Great Academies didn't just send me the manuscript. Their main purpose in coming here was to discuss something. The Eight Great Academies want to merge with the Lost Soul Empire, but they don't want to be too hasty. They want to slowly merge with the Lost Soul Empire so that the backlash from the Literary Records Continent would be smaller." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I'll talk to you about this today. Let's not talk about this today. What I want to say is that the Eight Great Academies didn't just send me the manuscript.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Shi Chui and the others' eyes couldn't help but light up. Shi Chui said, "Young Master, this is a good thing. Isn't this what we wanted? Letting them merge with the Bewitching Soul Empire without alerting the ordinary people of the Soldier Spirit Continent. This is our plan. Why would the people of the Soldier Spirit Continent agree? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Maybe it's because of our battle with the Evil Ghost Sect. They saw their shortcomings and knew how powerful our Bewitching Soul Empire is. Therefore, they want to merge with the Bewitching Soul Empire."
The others nodded, then Shi Chui said, "It's possible. The people of the Eight Great Academies are all scholars. They should be able to think further and see things more clearly. They know that we didn't send troops to them not because we're afraid that we won't be able to defeat them, but because we don't want to make a move. First, we don't want to cause too many casualties. Because of the Young Master's relationship with them, they should be able to see this clearly. Therefore, they agreed to merge with the Bewitching Soul Empire. Young Master, what did you say to them?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Of course I agreed. I have no reason to disagree. For us, this is a good thing. However, this matter can't be rushed. Although the Eight Great Academies rule the Soldier Spirit Continent, the situation of the Soldier Spirit Continent is quite special. Therefore, I didn't urge them and agreed to take it slow."
