Ding Chunming looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, I feel that this matter isn't as simple as it seems. First of all, we should know whether this alliance meeting held by the Greenmist Sect is real or fake. If it's real, then it means that the Greenmist Sect wants to break away from the control of the other Great Sects. However, this matter isn't necessarily good news for us. The Sect Master of the Greenmist Sect tricked us into coming here but didn't tell us about the alliance. It can be seen that he wants to force us onto his ship. Although we won't oppose the alliance, it's not good for us to be forced onto it. They might even give us special conditions."
After saying this, Ding Chunming paused for a moment. Then he continued, "If this person's information is fake, then the alliance is fake as well. Then this matter will be even more difficult to deal with. This means that they are deliberately targeting us. Then we'll be in danger."
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he turned to Iron Snake and said, "Iron Snake, what do you think?"
Iron Snake replied, "Young Master, they have already cut off our contact with the outside world. We can only wait and see what they will do next. If they really want to form an alliance, then we can agree. In any case, we don't want to be controlled by the Great Sects. However, an alliance is an alliance. We can't let them stretch their hands into the Sword Defense Sect. If they really want to order us, then we won't agree."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "If it's an alliance, then we'll agree. However, an alliance is an alliance, and we can't become the Alliance Leader. However, the Alliance Leader can't order us for no reason, nor can he reach his hand into the Sword Imperial Sect. If they do, then I won't be polite. If they deceive us and want to deal with us, then that's fine. With the strength of the three of us, even if they want to keep us here, they would have to pay a big price. If they want to use this opportunity to deal with the Sword Imperial Sect, then they can only wait to hit a nail on the head. The arrangements we made before coming here weren't just for show." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's what I meant. If they want to deal with the Sword Imperial Sect, then they can only wait to be rebuffed.
Ding Chunming and Iron Snake nodded. Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Let's see how the Greenmist Sect chooses."
After saying this, Zhao Hai turned his head to look at a vase in the room. This vase was just one of the vases in the room. It wasn't very eye-catching. However, Zhao Hai could see that there was a listening formation under the vase. Because of this, he had Ding Chunming and Iron Snake say those words. These words were for the Greenmist Sect to hear.
After looking at the vase, Zhao Hai turned his head to Ding Chunming and Iron Snake and said, "Alright, you two should take a rest. I don't know what will happen next, but we should be careful." The two nodded and were about to leave. However, Zhao Hai waved his hand, telling them not to move.
The two didn't understand what Zhao Hai meant, but they still stopped. Then Zhao Hai threw a spell onto the vase. After that, he used a sound fusion spell to surround the three of them. After that, he said, "There's a listening formation in this room. They can hear what we're saying. Therefore, I had you two talk. Alright, you two sit down, we'll discuss this." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, let's talk about this." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
The two stared for a moment before they nodded and sat down. Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, "This time, the Cyan Mist Sect seems to want to form an alliance. But in the end, the Cyan Mist Sect wants to lead the other Sects in the buffer zone to break away from the control of the other Sects and become truly independent. Because of this, we need to be more careful. However, I think that the possibility of the latter isn't big. I'm afraid that the Sect behind Daoist Priest Lan wouldn't have the appetite to swallow all the other Sects in the buffer zone. Because of this, I think that the possibility of Daoist Priest Lan wanting to become independent is higher. I don't oppose independence, but if their conditions are too harsh, then I definitely won't agree. I'm afraid that if we don't agree, then they might deal with us. Therefore, we need to be prepared for battle this time." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "The Cyan Mist Sect wants to form an alliance this time. But in the end, the Cyan Mist Sect wants to lead the other Sects in the buffer zone and become truly independent.
The two nodded. Zhao Hai let out a long breath and said, "No matter what, we're already here. Let's see what they want to do. If they really want to fall out with us, then it's fine. Our Sword Imperial Sect isn't to be trifled with. I'm just afraid that they won't be able to bear the consequences of falling out with us."
Ding Chunming solemnly said, "Young Master, what I'm worried about is that if the people in the buffer zone really become independent, would the Righteous Sects and the 72 Islands of the Southern Sea agree? If they don't agree, then will they send troops to attack the buffer zone? If that's the case, then it's going to be troublesome. "
Zhao Hai replied, "We'll definitely fight. If we want to break free from the control of the other sects, then we'll need to fight. We need to make the sects feel pain. Only then would they agree to our independence. Therefore, we need to prepare ourselves and see what they do next." Zhao Hai nodded, "Alright.
Ding Chunming nodded. Zhao Hai said, "Alright, you two should go and rest. Maybe they'll really make a move." Ding Chunming and Iron Snake nodded, then they turned around and left.
After the two left, Zhao Hai removed the seal on the vase. Then he sat in the living room for a while before returning to his room to rest.
It wasn't until afternoon that someone knocked on the door. Then Master Void's voice was heard, "Sect Master Jian, Sect Master Jian, can I come in?"
Zhao Hai said, "Come in." Master Void nodded, then he pushed open the door and entered the courtyard. At this time, Zhao Hai came out of his room. Ding Chunming and Iron Snake also came out and stood behind Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at Master Void and said, "Master Void, may I know why you're here?"
Master Void gave Zhao Hai a salute and said, "Sect Master Jian, our Sect Master wants to see you. What do you think?" Master Jian nodded.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Good, of course. I've been wanting to meet Sect Master Mist for a long time. Please."
Master Void nodded and said, "Sect Master Jian, please."
Zhao Hai followed Master Void outside. Master Void led the three of them into the Green Mist Sect. It didn't take long for the group to arrive in front of a large hall. There was a plaque hanging above the hall with three words written on it: Green Mist Hall. However, they didn't enter the hall. Instead, they went to the back of the hall. Behind the hall was where Sect Master Mist Dao of the Green Mist Sect rested.
Master Void led Zhao Hai and the others to a room and said, "Sect Master, Sect Master Jian is here."
A voice as warm as jade said, "Quickly invite him in."
Master Void opened the door and invited Zhao Hai in. Zhao Hai led Ding Chunming and Iron Snake directly into the room. The room was very large and the decorations were very simple. As soon as they entered, they saw an incense burner. Waves of light smoke rose from the burner, filling the entire room with the fragrance of sandalwood. It made one's mind unconsciously feel tranquil.
Inside, there was a sofa. The sofa and coffee table were all made of wood. They looked simple and natural. Inside the sofa, there was a desk. Behind the desk, there was a chair. Behind the chair was the wall. On the wall, there was a banner with the words "Dao Follows Nature" written on it.
Now, an old Daoist with a sage-like demeanor was standing on the sofa and looking at Zhao Hai and the others. The old Daoist didn't look young. His hair and beard were white, but there were no wrinkles on his face. His face was as rosy as a baby's and he looked very energetic.
The old Daoist bowed to Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, "Supreme Celestial Venerate, I, Qing Lan, am in the right."
Zhao Hai quickly cupped his fists and said, "Saber9 greets you, Daoist Priest. You are in the right."
Daoist Priest Qing Lan looked at Zhao Hai and said with a smile, "You are too polite, Daoist Priest. Please take a seat."
Zhao Hai returned the gesture and said, "Thank you." Then, he walked to the sofa and sat down. Ding Chunming and Iron Snake stood behind Zhao Hai.
Daoist Priest Qing Lan also sat down, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "This time, I rashly invited Fellow Daoist here. I hope that Fellow Daoist can forgive me."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "You are too polite. Why do you call yourself Qing Lan? Isn't Qing Lan the name of this mountain? "
Daoist Priest Qing Lan smiled and said, "I was originally called Lan Daoist. Later, I traveled here and saw that this place was beautiful. It was a good place for cultivation. It also had the same character as my name, so I stayed here and built a cave residence. After the Qing Lan Sect was established, I changed my name to Qing Lan. However, not many people know about this."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "So that's how it is. This one is ignorant and inexperienced."
Qing Lan smiled and said, "You are too polite. I think you know very well why I invited you here this time. I wonder what you think of my suggestion of an alliance?"
Zhao Hai looked at Qing Lan and said, "Daoist Priest, I'm really curious. Why does Daoist Priest want to form an alliance with the buffer zone? Isn't Daoist Priest afraid of angering the Righteous Sects or the 72 Islands?"
Taoist Qing Lan said in a deep voice, "Supreme Heavenly Master, I'm doing this to let the sects in the buffer zone have the final say. For so many years, the sects in the buffer zone have been manipulated by the righteous sects or the 72 Islands of the South Sea. We can get along peacefully, but because of their disagreements, we have been fighting openly and secretly. What's more, if there is any conflict between the righteous sects and the 72 Islands of the South Sea, our buffer zone will become a battlefield and our sect masters will suffer countless losses. I don't think you want to live such a life. This time, I propose an alliance because I want everyone to unite and really get rid of the control of the righteous sects and the 72 Islands of the South Sea. Really do it, in the buffer zone, we have the final say. Isn't that good?"
