Zhao looked at the three people who were walking towards him. The three of them were dressed very brightly, and they had arrogant looks on their faces, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
These three were the ones who betrayed Lei Hong and Tideview City. They were originally from the same realm as Lei Hong. But after ascending to the Sword Spirit Boundary, they didn't move to Tideview City like Lei Hong. In their opinion, Tideview City wasn't developing at all. It was just relying on the high tide to earn a few spirit stones every month. What could those spirit stones do? If they relied on those spirit stones to cultivate, they wouldn't be able to achieve anything for the rest of their lives.
Because of this idea, these people didn't move to Tideview City. Instead, they prepared to make a living in this small city.
However, they discovered that it wasn't easy to make a living in this small city. You can only earn a little bit of money to survive. It was simply impossible to cultivate by leaps and bounds. The only way was to join a clan. In that case, those clans would provide you with all kinds of cultivation resources. Only then would you be able to increase your cultivation speed. Because of this, joining a clan was their biggest wish.
When Lei Hong gave them a position, they saw hope. They knew about the situation in Tideview City. They knew that Tideview City used to belong to the Spirit Crab Island. Moreover, the Spirit Crab Island had sent people to manage the place. But now, Lei Hong said that the people from the Spirit Crab Island had already withdrawn. The one managing the place was now a gang called the Ecstasy Gang. Although they still needed to hand over things to the Spirit Crab Island, there were no more people from the Spirit Crab Island. This gave them an opportunity.
Because of this, they immediately sold this information to the Great Clans. The Great Clans also reported this information to the Jianyuzong. After receiving this information, the Jianyuzong summoned these people several times and asked them about the situation in Tideview City. Then the Jianyuzong decided to launch a surprise attack on Tideview City.
The Jianyuzong didn't think about sending people to Tideview City to check the situation. Although Tideview City was a small city, it was actually a stronghold of Spirit Crab Island. The people living there were all familiar faces. If a new face suddenly went there, people would immediately recognize him. If they sent people there and Tideview City was attacked, then the Spirit Crab Island would follow the vine to find the melon. Although the Jianyuzong decided to attack Tideview City, they didn't want the Spirit Crab Island to know that they were the culprits.
Although the Jianyuzong's strength wasn't weak, it was still lacking compared to the Spirit Crab Island. This time, the Jianyuzong only wanted to take advantage of the situation. They didn't want to go to war with the Spirit Crab Island.
However, now that the Jianyuzong decided to take action, the three people began to tremble. Although the Jianyuzong didn't accept them as disciples, they still joined one of the Great Clans. Their standard of living improved, and with the support of the Great Clans, they began to tremble.
Zhao Hai looked at the three people and smiled faintly. Then he closed his eyes. At this time, Zhao Hai had a piece of white cloth in front of him. On top of the white cloth were some things that didn't look very eye-catching. They looked like withered tree bark. However, these weren't ordinary tree bark, but rather the bark of a thousand-year-old tree. This kind of bark was divided into tree species. Some trees would be useless even if they were a thousand years old, while others would be worth a lot of money.
The dried tree bark that Zhao Hai took out was actually the bark of a thousand year old cedar tree. This kind of tree bark was one of the best cold attribute herbs. If you use it to refine some cold attribute pills, the effect would be very good. Moreover, this kind of herb wasn't easy to come across. If a Cultivator saw it, they would definitely not let it go.
Zhao Hai wasn't afraid that these people wouldn't recognize it. This was because this kind of herb naturally had some characteristics. Just like the cedar tree, it was born with a cold aura. One could feel this cold aura from a few meters away. Because of this, as long as someone walked in front of him, they would be able to see that the bark was extraordinary.
The position that Zhao Hai chose was the path that the three people would take. They would certainly walk past him. Zhao Hai believed that as long as they walked past him, they would be attracted by the cedar bark. When the time comes, they would naturally buy the cedar bark. This was the first step of his plan.
This time, Zhao Hai wanted to deal with the people from the Imperial Sword Sect using the Treant's Curse Technique. The reason why the Treant's Curse Technique was so formidable was because it needed a casting medium. This medium was the bark of an ancient tree. Different types of bark would have different effects, and the higher the grade of the bark, the better the effect. Because of this, Zhao Hai decided to take out the thousand-year-old cedar bark. This bark already had the Treant's Curse on it. As long as the three people brought the bark back to their clans, then Zhao Hai would be able to use the bark to attach the curse to their clans. It might even attach to the people from the Sword Defense Sect and then spread it out.
Most importantly, although this kind of bark was a medium for casting spells, it wouldn't be destroyed after the spell was cast. Instead, it would retain its original characteristics. In other words, even if someone suspected that the problem was with these pieces of bark, they wouldn't be able to find anything. This was because the curse had already been cast, and the bark was still the original bark. It wasn't poisonous, and there was nothing special about it.
What Zhao Hai needed to do now was to wait quietly. Moreover, he had already changed his appearance. It was impossible for others to recognize him.
Zhao Hai closed his eyes and paid attention to the footsteps of the three people. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Zhao Hai didn't feel nervous, he just sat there quietly.
Before long, the footsteps of the three people arrived in front of Zhao Hai's stall. Then one of them made a sound as the footsteps stopped. Then one of them opened his mouth and said, "This is Thunder Pine Bark? Not bad, it seems like it's been here for a long time. Hey, let me ask you, how much is this cedar bark? "
Zhao Hai opened his eyes, then he looked at the three people and said, "You want my thousand-year-old cedar bark? One hundred and three crystal for one. "One hundred and three crystal wasn't a low price, it could be said that it was very high.
But the men looked at each other and laughed. Then one of them waved his hand and took out a cloth bag. "You have a total of six pieces of bark. I want all of them." Zhao Hai nodded his head and said, "You have six pieces of bark. I want all of them."
Zhao Hai stared, he was prepared for the other party to bargain. However, he didn't expect the other party to directly buy the pieces of cedar bark.
Zhao Hai quickly grabbed the bag and looked inside. The bag was full of fifth-grade crystals, a total of 30 pieces. It was just enough to pay for the cedar bark. Zhao Hai immediately received the bag, then he smiled at the three people and said, "Thank you, Guests. What else do you need? This little one has a lot of connections, I'll certainly get it for you."
The three people looked at Zhao Hai and then laughed. They received the pieces of bark into their Space and then turned around to leave. They didn't pay attention to Zhao Hai at all.
Zhao Hai looked at the appearance of these people and was stunned. But after they left, Zhao Hai immediately put away the white cloth in front of him. Then he turned around and left. The things in his stall had already been bought, so it was natural for him to put them away.
After Zhao Hai left, he immediately returned to the hotel. After entering his room, he couldn't help but smile. However, Zhao Hai didn't stop there. Instead, he packed up his things and directly left the hotel. Then he went to the transmission formation and used it to return to Sword Intent City.
However, he didn't directly return to Tideview City from Sword Intent City. Instead, he went to another city controlled by the Sword Imperial Sect. Then he used the same method to buy several pieces of tree bark for the clans controlled by the Sword Imperial Sect. Then he went to another city. This time, he didn't buy the tree bark for the clans controlled by the Sword Imperial Sect. Instead, he directly ground the tree bark into powder and used it on the clans.
There were a lot of cities controlled by the Sword Imperial Sect. Zhao Hai went to five cities in total. These five cities were very far from each other. Moreover, although his casting material was tree bark, he only made it appear in two cities. He didn't make it appear in the other cities. Instead, he ground the tree bark into powder and used it on the clans.
Zhao Hai did this in order to not expose himself. If he only targeted Green Wind Town, then the Sword Imperial Sect might suspect him and Tideview City. However, if the Treant's Curse broke out in several cities at the same time, then the Sword Imperial Sect wouldn't suspect him.
If he made the tree bark appear in all the places affected by the Treant's Curse, then the Sword Imperial Sect would suspect that there was a problem with the tree bark. However, if he didn't make the tree bark appear in all the places, then the Sword Imperial Sect wouldn't suspect the tree bark. This way, he would be even safer.
Zhao Hai had always been very careful when doing things. As for how many people would die, he didn't care at all. In any case, the people who died were all from the Sword Imperial Sect. He would just treat it as the price they had to pay for their actions. Zhao Hai would just treat it as interest first.
It didn't take long for Zhao Hai to do this. In just three days, all the clans controlled by the Sword Imperial Sect were under the Treant's Curse. However, he still hasn't activated it yet, but the Treant's Curse had already begun to spread.
The reason why Zhao Hai chose the Treant's Curse was because the Treant's Curse's ability to control it was very strong. The timing of its release could be controlled, the degree of its spread could be controlled, and it could even be finely controlled. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai chose the Treant's Curse. This way, he could control the timing of the Treant's Curse.
This was also one of the powerful aspects of curses. Spells couldn't achieve this kind of effect, and even poisons couldn't. Only curses could do it.
At this time, the Sword Imperial Sect wasn't fully prepared to send troops to Tideview City. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't let the Curse take effect. The Sword Imperial Sect was very clear that their strength couldn't compare to Spirit Crab Island. If they use the transmission formation to go to Tideview City, then Spirit Crab Island would certainly investigate and find out that it was them who did it. At that time, the Sword Imperial Sect would have to wait for Spirit Crab Island's retaliation. Because of this, the Sword Imperial Sect couldn't use the transmission formation to go to Tideview City. They could only use artifacts to secretly transport their people and then suddenly attack Tideview City.
But in this case, they would need more time to prepare. However, Zhao Hai didn't care about this. After making all the arrangements, he immediately returned to Sword Intent City. Then he casually looked for a small hotel to stay in. After entering his room, Zhao Hai's body flashed and returned to the Space. After observing the situation of several cities, Zhao Hai immediately had the Treant's curse erupt!
Liu Jianling was the Sect Master of the Jianyu Sect. He was currently sitting in the Jianyu Sect's conference room along with the Elders of the sect. Looking at them, Liu Jianling said, "Everyone, we've received news that there's a large amount of spirit rice in Tideview City under Spirit Crab Island's rule. This is because the people in Tideview City have found a new method of growing spirit rice, greatly increasing the yield. I think everyone knows about the current situation in the continent, so we need to prepare more spirit rice in order to deal with the changes that might happen in the future. Therefore, I'm preparing to attack Tideview City. I've heard that the people of Spirit Crab Island have already evacuated from Tideview City. The one in charge of the place is a person who just ascended. Moreover, this method of growing spirit rice was developed by him. Therefore, our target this time isn't just the spirit rice, but that person as well. As long as we can bring that person back to the sect, we won't have to worry about spirit rice in the future. Therefore, we must act fast this time and make sure that that person doesn't escape. Even if we can't capture that person, we must capture the other people in Tideview City. I think they must know something about how to increase the yield of spirit rice. Now that the experts of the various clans have been transferred here, we can gather about 7,000 troops. However, there are about 20,000 Rogue Cultivators in Tideview City. Although they aren't very strong, we can't be careless. Therefore, we must act fast and ruthlessly. Do you all understand?"
Do you understand? "Everyone nodded. Then someone turned to Liu Jianling and said," Sect Master, if the people of Tideview City run to Spirit Crab Island and ask for help, what should we do? There's a transmission formation between Spirit Crab Island and Tideview City. Even if we seal the transmission formation, it wouldn't take long for the people of Spirit Crab Island to reach Tideview City. If we leave any traces behind, then it would be troublesome. "
Liu Jianling nodded and said, "I've also thought about this point. Therefore, in this operation, everyone needs to change their weapons. Most of the people in the Sword Imperial Sect use swords. But in this operation, everyone needs to change their weapons. If you can avoid using swords, then don't use them."
