Everyone left the Green Mist Sect and went back to prepare. Zhao Hai led Ding Chunming and Tie She to the Green Mist Sect's Teleportation Formation. At this moment, Master Xu walked over and said to Zhao Hai in a deep voice, "Sword Sect, my master invites you to go there. He has something to discuss with you."
Zhao Hai turned to look at Master Xu and then nodded. "Okay, let's go." With that, Zhao Hai led Tie She and Ding Chunming back with Master Xu. Soon, the four of them arrived outside Qing Lan's study. This time, Qing Lan did not wait for them in the study. Instead, he waited for them outside the study. When he saw them arrive, Qing Lan greeted them warmly. He cupped his hands and said to Zhao Hai, "Sect Master Jian, I'm really sorry to have made you come back again. Let's talk inside."
Zhao Hai did not object and followed Qing Lan into the room. After the two of them sat down, Master Xu served Zhao Hai tea this time.
Zhao Hai did not drink the tea. Instead, he looked at Taoist Master Qing Lan and said with a smile, "May I know why you called me back this time?"
Qing Lan looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, "Master Jian, I asked you to come back this time mainly to discuss the possible attacks from the other sects. The appearance of the people from the Black Sky Sect today is definitely not a coincidence. They will definitely attack us in the future, so I asked you to come back and discuss it."
Zhao Hai looked at Qing Lan in confusion and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
Qing Lan looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, "Sect Master Jian, don't you think that the people from the Black Sky Sect today are not very strong? "Other than Xuan Yi, who is an elder of the Black Sky Sect and has reached the Void Return realm, the rest of you haven't reached the Void Return realm, have you? Do you think that the Black Sky Sect will only send these people when they know that so many sects are holding an alliance meeting here? "
When Zhao Hai heard Qing Lan's words, he could not help but be stunned. Then, he looked at Qing Lan and said, "What do you mean?"
Qing Lan looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, "What I said may not be pleasant, but Sect Master Jian, you have to admit that the sect masters of the other sects are not weaker than you, right? They are even stronger than you. You won't object to this, right? "
Zhao Hai nodded, then Qing Lan continued, "Those sects aren't weak. Even if they are weaker than me, they aren't that weak. All of them are at the Void Refining Realm. But the fact is, they couldn't defeat the Spirit Realm experts of the Mysterious Sky Sect. They needed your help to repel the Mysterious Sky Sect's people. Do you think this is normal?" Qing Lan nodded and said, "Yes.
Zhao Hai did not think too much about it. He knew his strength better than Qing Lan. He was very clear that his strength was very strong. It was normal for him to be able to destroy the people of the Black Sky Sect. However, after hearing Qing Lan's words, he felt that something was wrong. Those sect masters were obviously hiding their strength. When they were fighting with the Black Sky Sect, they obviously did not use their full strength. This was definitely not normal.
Zhao Hai's expression changed. He looked at Qing Lan and said, "What do you mean? Do you think that they are colluding with the Black Sky Sect? "
Qing Lan shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily colluding, but it's possible that they are half-hearted. They may not want to offend the people of the Black Sky Sect before, so when they fought with the people of the Black Sky Sect, they were not ruthless. This may be because they wanted to leave a way out for themselves. However, the people of the Black Sky Sect were injured by you. You have cut off half of their way out, but it's not completely cut off. They can totally contact the people of the Black Sky Sect and tell them that they had no choice. Speaking of which, they did not hurt the people of the Black Sky Sect. Only you injured the people of the Black Sky Sect, so the Black Sky Sect must hate you now. They will definitely deal with you, but it's hard to say whether they will deal with the other sects."
Zhao Hai's expression was calm as he said, "If the people of the Black Sky Sect want to attack, then so be it. I have already thought about it when I came to form the alliance. We will pass this test no matter what. However, we will never be able to get rid of the control of those big sects. Don't regret what you have done. Even if you regret it, it's useless. Those big sects will not necessarily give any preferential treatment to those who surrender to them. They may give you some preferential treatment at the beginning, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future. Therefore, don't regret what you have done.
If the Black Sky Sect wants to deal with you, come at me. "Qing Lan looked at Zhao Hai's expression and could not help but sigh. He said," If the other Sect Masters think like you, then I don't have to waste so much time thinking about other things. However, it seems that those Sect Masters are not very confident now. They always want to leave a way out for themselves, but they have never thought that when facing the enemy, will the enemy really let them have a way out? They have already participated in this alliance. Even if they surrender in the future, will the big sects still let them be Sect Masters? That's impossible. It's a pity that they don't understand this point. "
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he looked at Qing Lan and said, "Daoist Priest is worried about them. But now that we're facing the enemy separately, it's useless to worry about them. Those Sect Masters won't listen to me."
Qing Lan said in a deep voice, "I just want to remind you not to trust them too much. If they ask for help from your Jianyu Sect, you can send people to support them. However, the people you send must be careful. At the same time, your Jianyu Sect must also be prepared to face the enemy. You must be absolutely careful."
When Zhao Hai heard this, he immediately understood what Qing Lan meant. He looked at Qing Lan and said, "Daoist Priest, do you mean that they might sell us out?"
Qing Lan replied, "There's such a possibility. So you must be careful. But as long as we can withstand the attacks of the big sects, I think they will agree to form an alliance."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I'll be careful. If anything happens to the Green Mist Sect in the future, please don't hesitate to send me a letter."
Qing Lan smiled and said, "It's the same. If anything happens to the Sword Defense Sect, you must send me a letter."
Zhao Hai nodded and stood up. He cupped his fists at Daoist Priest Qing Lan and said, "Daoist Priest Qing Lan, I'll take my leave first. After all, there are still many things in the sect. They have to go back and prepare."
Daoist Priest Qing Lan nodded and personally sent Zhao Hai out. He watched as Zhao Hai and the other two left. When Zhao Hai and the rest were out of sight, a disciple came up to Qing Lan and said, "Master, can we trust Saber9's words? Does he really want to break free from the control of those big sects? What if he's from the Seventy-two Islands in the South Sea? "
Qing Lan said in a low voice, "He should be trustworthy. If he's really related to the Seventy-two Islands in the South Sea, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to come today. So it seems that he really doesn't have a Great Sect Leader behind him. The reason why he's willing to form an alliance is because he's worried that the big sects will come looking for him in the future. When that happens, he'll have to face the big sects alone. That's definitely not a good thing for him. So he's willing to form an alliance with us. As long as we can withstand the attacks of those big sects, they won't have to worry about anything in the future. I'm just curious about Saber9's identity. The cultivation method he used before was indeed the Sword Defense Sect's Sword Movement. If he's from the Sword Defense Sect, then what's his status in the sect? Why did he suddenly bring out so many people and even kill Liu Jianling and the others? Why did he become the Patriarch of the Jianyu Sect? This person is really mysterious. "
The disciple said to Taoist Master Qing Lan, "Master, are the people from the other sects really untrustworthy?"
Qing Lan sighed and said, "Didn't you see the battle earlier? Xuan Yi's strength is strong, on par with mine. It won't be easy for Master to deal with him, but what about the other people from the Black Heaven Sect? Even if they're slightly stronger than you guys, they're not that much stronger. But how many Sect Leaders are here today? More than thirty people. If we calculate it this way, it's equivalent to two Sect Leaders against one Black Heaven Sect member. But what about an alliance? Saber9 injured the Black Heaven Sect members, but they couldn't do anything to them. In the end, if it wasn't for Saber9's ruthless attack, the Black Heaven Sect members wouldn't have retreated. In other words, the Black Heaven Sect members aren't afraid of those Sect Leaders at all. Why are they so confident? Could it be that they're just certain that those Sect Leaders won't dare to deal with them? Isn't that too risky? So there must be something wrong with those Sect Leaders. "
When the disciple heard Qing Lan's words, he could not help but frown and said, "Then what should we do? Master, if there's really something wrong with them, will they really collude with those major sects to scheme against us? "
Qing Lan said in a low voice, "It's still too early to say that. We'll know when we see how they perform next. However, I don't think those major sects will let them go. They'll soon realize that they shouldn't be half-hearted. Hmph, these people, if we don't teach them a lesson, they won't understand. There are some things that can't be turned back once they've done it. In this regard, they're far inferior to Saber9."
The disciple said in a low voice, "But Master, that Saber9's strength seems to be only at Qi Refinement Return to God level, right? He hasn't reached God Refinement Return to Void level yet, has he? Can he really withstand the Black Heaven Sect's attack? "
Qing Lan sighed and said, "I'm not worried about that. Previously, I told Saber9 that those from the Black Heaven Sect were all at Qi Refinement Return to God level and that they didn't seem very powerful. However, don't forget that they're slightly more powerful than all of you. In other words, those people's strength is at least at level-ten Qi Refinement Return to God level. In the Sword Spirit World, they're already considered little experts. However, how many moves did they manage to take under Saber9's sword? Moreover, did you notice that Saber9 did not pursue them after defeating them? In other words, Saber9 had the ability to kill them, but he did not do so. He also held back his strength. Therefore, although he's at Qi Refinement Return to God level, don't forget that he's a sword cultivator. His true combat strength is probably not as simple as Qi Refinement Return to God level. In fact, Liu Jianling and the others are all experts at Void Cultivation Return to God level. There are even a few Grand Elders in the Jianyu Sect, but they were still annihilated by Saber9 and the others. This shows that Saber9's strength is definitely much stronger than what he's shown. "
The disciple was stunned when he heard Qing Lan's words. He then said in a low voice, "I hope they're really powerful. Now, it seems like they're the only ones who want to break free from the control of those large sects. The others are at most here to join in the fun. They're just fence-sitters."
Qing Lan said in a low voice, "Alright, pass down the order. The entire sect is on alert. Although it's already late, we still have to be careful. Xu Qingzi is too familiar with the sect. Don't let them take advantage of any loopholes." The disciple responded, turned around, and left. Then, the entire Qinglan Sect was on high alert.
Meanwhile, Zhao Hai had already returned to the Jianyu Sect with Ding Chunming and Iron Snake. Although it was already very late, Zhao Hai immediately called Wen Wenhai and the others to his study as soon as he returned.
After everyone arrived, Zhao Hai recounted what had happened in the Qinglan Sect today to everyone. He then said in a low voice, "Everyone, what do you think of this matter?"
Wen Wenhai thought for a moment and then said, "Boss, I think that this is a good thing. Through this matter, our Jianyu Sect can become famous in the buffer zone. We can officially become a member of the buffer zone. Later on, we don't have to be as careful as before. However, I think that we should first deal with those who dared to attack us." Everyone nodded.
Everyone nodded, then Laura who was sitting on the side opened her mouth, "Brother Hai, I also think that this is an opportunity for us to become famous. However, we shouldn't go all out against those Great Sects. If we do that, then it would be too strenuous and our losses would be too big. I think that we should adopt a defensive stance. As long as we guard our sect, the other sects wouldn't be able to attack our Sect Master. After a long time, they would retreat. Although we're only adopting a defensive stance, I think that the others wouldn't be any better than us. After all, their sects aren't very strong, so I reckon that they would do the same as us. Moreover, not only would we be able to conceal our true strength from outsiders, we would also be able to train our disciples. Our losses wouldn't be too big, what do you think?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
What do you think? "Zhao Hai nodded and said," Right, this is what I want. We should adopt a defensive stance. As long as we can defend our sect, then we would have won. I don't want to expose the existence of the Mystic Realm. Therefore, we can only defend. Our current strength isn't strong enough, we can't go all out against the enemy. Otherwise, we would suffer a huge loss. "
Wen Wenhai and the others nodded. Then Wen Wenhai immediately turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Boss, defending our sect shouldn't be difficult, right? When the time comes for the other sects to ask for help, would we go and support them? "
Zhao Hai forced a smile and said, "Defending our sect isn't easy. The other side is a Great Sect, they would have large artifacts. But we can't reveal our large artifacts right now. That would be too eye-catching. Therefore, we can only rely on the defensive formation to defend our sect. This is definitely not an easy matter."
