After the group sat down, Zhao Hai looked at the roasted lamb on the bonfire and said, "Patriarch Lin, Patriarch Chen, I won't be polite. I know why you two came. Although the Mixed Spirit Continent is still safe, I don't know when the Devil Mask Army will come. I need to be prepared. Therefore, you should give me some information so that I can make a decision. Should I go to the Lost Soul Empire or do everything I can to strengthen the defenses of the Mixed Spirit Continent?"
Lin Chenggang looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Can Mister increase the defenses of the Mixed Spirit Continent?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "It's only temporary. We Plant Masters can refine mutated seeds. These mutated seeds only need to be activated with natural energy in order to fight like a warrior. However, the speed of these mutated seeds is very slow. However, these mutated seeds also have a weakness. If you don't nourish them with natural energy for a long time, they would turn into a tree and would no longer be able to fight. This process would only take about two months. Therefore, I can refine some mutated seeds to strengthen the defenses of the Mixed Spirit Continent. However, these mutated seeds are consumable items, and I can't refine them all the time. Therefore, this kind of defense can only be temporary."
Lin Chenggang nodded, then he looked at Chen Wei. Chen Wei looked at Lin Chenggang and said, "Old Lin, you should speak."
Lin Chenggang nodded, then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister Zhao, you didn't guess wrong, we have indeed made a decision. We have decided to join the Lost Soul Empire, but we need to meet the Emperor first and propose some conditions to him. Therefore, the two of us will go with you to the Lost Soul Empire and then make a decision. What do you think?" Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned to Lin Chenggang.
Zhao Hai didn't even think about it before he nodded and said, "That's not a problem. We're almost done with the matters at the seaside. We can leave tomorrow. Naturally, this depends on when it's convenient for you. You can leave whenever you want."
Lin Chenggang said in a deep voice, "Alright, then we'll set off. Mister, you don't have any problems here."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I don't have any problems here. Let's go. The lamb is already roasted. Let's eat something and rest early. We'll set out tomorrow."
Lin Chenggang and Chen Wei didn't say anything this time. They just smiled and nodded at Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai also smiled at the two and then began to eat.
That night, everyone had a great time eating. Zhao Hai and the others had also agreed on who would go to Mi Hun Empire the next day. Zhao Hai and the other two family heads would definitely go. Liu Ziyu and Old Wu would also go. In addition to a few experts from the seven major families, the last two people would be Yu Jiaolong and Yu Daban.
Originally, Zhao Hai didn't want to take Yu Jiaolong with him. But after Yu Jiaolong heard about it, he insisted on going. In the end, Zhao Hai had no choice but to let them go together.
Zhao Hai also understood Yu Jiaolong's intention. He wanted to know about the situation in the Mi Hun Empire. If the situation in the Mi Hun Empire was really like what Zhao Hai said, then Yu Jiaolong would need to make plans early.
Yu Jiaolong had already heard the conversation between Zhao Hai and Lin Chenggang. Now that the Mixed Spirit Continent had agreed to join the Mi Hun Empire, if the Mi Hun Empire's army really came, then the situation in the Five Spirit Realms would immediately change. Yu Jiaolong had no choice but to make plans early.
The next morning, Zhao Hai and the others got up early. After having breakfast, Zhao Hai made arrangements for the Apprentice Planters to pay attention to the fish farm. After arranging everything, he led the group to the woods on Shelter Bay Mountain. After entering the woods, they found a place where no one was around. Zhao Hai then activated the transmission formation on his body and brought the group to the Secret Realm.
This time, they appeared in the courtyard of the Secret Realm. After arriving, Mister Zhao Hai and the others rested in the courtyard while Liu Ziyu went out to buy things for everyone. When Liu Ziyu returned to the courtyard, everyone was already prepared. Lin Chenggang and the others who came to the Mi Hun Empire for the first time had already learned how to fly with their swords.
Zhao Hai looked at Lin Chenggang and the others, he couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "Good, hehe. Everyone has learned well. Alright, let's take a rest today. Tomorrow, I'll handle this matter. The Lost Soul Empire has an external affairs office, we can handle almost all external matters there. Tomorrow, I'll take you there. As for how you want to deal with it, I won't be participating." Lin Chenggang nodded and said, "Alright.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Lin Chenggang couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, do you mean that you won't be taking care of this matter?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I won't be taking care of it, it's not up to me to take care of it. You should understand that I shouldn't be taking care of this matter. I'm only in charge of your place, I won't be taking care of anything else."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Lin Chenggang felt relieved. If Zhao Hai won't be taking care of this matter, then it means that he won't intervene. Because of this, they can take care of this matter by themselves tomorrow. As for how they handle this matter, it'll depend on their own abilities.
The others didn't object. However, Jade Flood Dragon looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Old Zhao, I'll go with you. You should know that I shouldn't be taking care of this matter. You can lead us to have some fun in the city."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Alright, then you can follow me tomorrow."
The next morning, Zhao Hai led Lin Chenggang and the others to the Lost Soul Empire's External Affairs Office. Then Zhao Hai led Lin Chenggang and the others to the Lost Soul Empire's Foreign Affairs Office.
After the two left the External Affairs Office, Jade Flood Dragon looked at the plants and muttered, "This place is really beautiful. Old Zhao, where are we going today?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to rush today. I have something to do today, you can come with me." Naturally, Jade Flood Dragon didn't object. It nodded and said, "Alright, we'll follow you."
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he turned his hand and took out a formation. Then Zhao Hai opened the formation and said, "Wenhai, come and pick me up." Then he received the formation. Jade Flood Dragon looked at Zhao Hai in confusion.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "This is a communication formation. It allows two people to talk directly. Don't worry, someone will come and pick us up."
Just as Zhao Hai's voice fell, a sword boat stopped in front of Zhao Hai. Wen Wenhai and Safflower were standing on the boat. Wen Wenhai cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "Boss." Safflower also gave a salute to Zhao Hai and called him Young Master.
Zhao Hai nodded and stood on the boat. Then he turned his head and looked at the surprised Jade Flood Dragon and Yu Daban. Then he smiled and said, "Fatty, come on up. We still have a lot of things to do. I'll tell you more on the way."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Flood Dragon nodded and then followed Yu Daban's group onto the sword boat. The three entered the small cabin of the sword boat, Wen Wenhai and Safflower followed along. There was also a person on the sword boat. This person was wearing a suit of armor. Naturally, he was in charge of controlling the sword boat.
Zhao Hai sat in the cabin and looked at the restless Jade Flood Dragon and Yu Daban. Then he smiled faintly and said, "Fatty, I'm sorry. I've been lying to you for a long time. Let me introduce myself. I'm Zhao Hai, the King of the Lost Soul Empire." After he said that, Zhao Hai took a formation from his body and then closed it. After the formation was closed, Zhao Hai's appearance immediately changed. The soul above his head turned into a grass soul. At the same time, his body turned into a giant.
The Jade Flood Dragon and Yu Daban stared blankly at Zhao Hai. They couldn't accept this change for a while. Zhao Hai looked at the Jade Flood Dragon and smiled faintly, "Fatty, do you remember the formation that I gave you that can change your appearance? Actually, that formation is the same as this one. I just modified it a bit. If you use this formation, then even if people touch you, they wouldn't be able to tell that you're not moving."
Jade Flood Dragon let out a long breath. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "So what you told me before about you being from the Five Spiritual Realms was false? You're from the Lost Soul Empire? "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, I'm originally from the Lost Soul Empire. Three years ago, an explorer from the Lost Soul Empire discovered a spatial passage to the Five Spirit Realms. I used the spatial passage to go to the Five Spirit Realms and appeared in the glaciers north of the Ice Jade Country. After that, I appeared in Aurora City and began to understand the Five Spirit Realms bit by bit. When I met you, I had just finished understanding the situation of the Ice Ocean Continent and was preparing to head to the other continents. At this time, I met you on the ship."
After saying that, Zhao Hai chuckled and said, "Fatty, you know that I'm not a very qualified King. I can go out for a few months for trivial matters. Therefore, I'm only a nominal King in the Lost Soul Empire. My subordinates are in charge of the specific matters. Fortunately, my subordinates are very loyal, so I don't need to worry about anything. I like to travel around, make more friends, and then gather them together to chat and do things. I get along very well with you, so I consider you my friend. It's that simple, you can't doubt our friendship."
Jade Flood Dragon suddenly smiled faintly and said, "No, I've never doubted our friendship. I was very curious before, you aren't the King of the Lost Soul Empire, so why would you want me to become the King of the Arctic Continent and then join the Lost Soul Empire as a governor? Now I understand. Haha, you're really good at hiding things. But I'm really curious, since the Lost Soul Empire is so powerful, why do you still want to go to the Mixed Spirit Continent and spend so much effort to have the people there surrender? Can't you just send your warships directly?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "We can't do that because we don't want to kill too many people. There are some experts in the Mixed Spirit Continent, but no matter what, those people aren't our opponents, nor can they cause too much damage to us. However, we really don't want to do that. The people of the Mixed Spirit Continent are already pitiful enough, we can't just go there and conquer them directly. The people of the Mixed Spirit Continent have been treated as slaves for too long, so they need respect. Therefore, I want them to join us. Of course, it can also be said that they're relying on us. No matter what, we hope that the matter of the Mixed Spirit Continent can be resolved peacefully, not through war."
Jade Flood Dragon said, "Even if you don't want to use war to deal with the Mixed Spirit Continent, what about the other continents? People have transmission formations that can send them directly to the Mixed Spirit Continent. Then they can also send them directly to the other continents. Why don't you just attack the other continents? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It's the same reason. I don't want them to resist too fiercely. Fatty, let me ask you, if we suddenly attack the five Spiritual Realms, how would the other continents react? If they find out that they can't deal with us alone, and that we're going to conquer the five Spiritual Realms, what do you think they'll do? I think it should be very simple. They will definitely unite and form an alliance to fight against us. After all, for so many years, the Five Spiritual Realm's countries still don't control their people too much. Naturally, those people will not resist them. They will even listen to them and rise up to fight against us. Am I right? "
Jade Flood Dragon nodded and said, "Right, the five Spiritual Realms have been treating their people well. The people have also gotten used to their rule. Therefore, if you attack the five Spiritual Realms now, the people would certainly rebel against you."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, I'm also worried about this. We can kill all the people in the five Spiritual Realms, but we can't do that. Because of this, I didn't attack the five Spiritual Realms directly. I wanted to sow discord and have the five Spiritual Realms fight first. Once the five Spiritual Realms are in chaos, the people wouldn't have a good time. Then we'll send our troops to pacify the chaos in the five Spiritual Realms as quickly as possible. At that time, the people would be reassured, and it would be very easy for us to control the five Spiritual Realms."
At this point, Zhao Hai paused, then he continued, "But then Ghost Face appeared. I think that this is an opportunity. With Ghost Face here, I don't need to do anything. Ghost Face will take care of everything for me. When the time comes, the people of the Five Spirit Realms would only have two choices. They can either submit to a man-eating monster or submit to a force that can make their lives better. What do you think the people of the Five Spirit Realms would choose?" Zhao Hai looked at Zhao Hai and said, "What do you think?
Jade Flood Dragon couldn't help but let out a long breath. What Zhao Hai said wasn't a choice at all. Even a fool would know what to do. It seems like Zhao Hai will win this time.
