Although Zhao Hai's idea was very sinister, the others had to admit that this was the best idea so far. Therefore, no one objected.
These people were very clear that face and reputation were nothing compared to survival, especially for cultivators like them. Face and reputation were very important for cultivators, but cultivators wanted to live more because once they died, they would have nothing left. The phrase 'death of the body and the dao vanishes' was prepared for cultivators.
Zhao Hai's face was calm as he looked at them and said, "Now, we're going to negotiate with the Great Sects. But this time, we can't let Daoist Priest Qing Lan go. Those Great Sects know that Daoist Priest Qing Lan was the first to propose to get rid of their control and become independent. Therefore, if Daoist Priest Qing Lan goes, he might be in danger. Therefore, we can only let someone else go."
Everyone nodded, but they also frowned. This was because they understood that it wasn't only Qing Lan who would be in danger. Those who opposed the Great Sects would also be in danger. However, if they didn't send a Sect Lord, then they wouldn't be able to show their sincerity. Then those Great Sects wouldn't negotiate with them. Therefore, the problem of choosing a Sect Lord was very important.
For a moment, everyone was silent. They were afraid that if they spoke, this matter would fall on their heads. That would be too dangerous. Therefore, everyone didn't speak.
Qing Lan looked at these people and couldn't help but sigh. He also knew what these people were thinking. However, he couldn't do anything about it. He was only the Alliance Lord, these people wouldn't listen to him completely. Moreover, this matter was very dangerous. Therefore, it wasn't appropriate to let anyone go.
Zhao Hai looked at the crowd and said, "If everyone believes in me, then I can go and talk to the Great Sects. I just don't know if everyone believes in me." Zhao Hai looked at the crowd and said, "But if everyone believes in me, then I can go and talk to those Great Sects.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, everyone stared. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would take the initiative to negotiate with those Great Sects. This was a very dangerous matter. It was strange for him to take the initiative.
Zhao Hai looked at these people and said, "We're negotiating with those Great Sects mainly to delay time. Therefore, we need to talk slowly. At the same time, we need to spread the news. In fact, I don't think those Great Sects really want to fight with us. After all, if they want to destroy us, they would have to pay a big price. In their opinion, paying such a big price for us isn't necessarily worth it."
Everyone looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. Zhao Hai continued, "What I said is the truth. Everyone should understand that the Great Sects don't lack time. They have already suffered losses in the war with us. Although they have captured the Sects in the buffer zone, if they really use them as cannon fodder, then the Sects wouldn't agree. They might even rebel against them. When that time comes, they would be in even more trouble." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I'm telling the truth. Everyone should understand that the Great Sects don't lack time.
After saying this, Zhao Hai paused for a moment before continuing, "But if they don't eliminate us immediately, they can just put this matter aside and slowly think of ways to infiltrate us. Then they wouldn't need to spend so much effort to annex us. After all, compared to the large sects, small sects like us are still lacking." Zhao Hai nodded, then he continued, "But if they don't eliminate us immediately, then they can slowly think of ways to infiltrate us.
Everyone immediately understood what Zhao Hai meant. In fact, this was what the Great Sects did before. For example, Xu Qingzi rebelled against the Green Mist Sect, and then the Sects that joined the Sea Exploring Alliance rebelled. From this point, one could see that the Great Sects were much more attractive than the Green Mist Sect. If the Great Sects didn't attack the Green Mist Sect and just slowly infiltrated the Green Mist Sect, then the Great Sects might succeed.
Qing Lan sighed and said, "Alright, we'll follow Sect Master Jian's words. This time, you will represent us to negotiate with those Great Sects. Does anyone have any objections?"
Everyone shook their heads. No one had any objections. They didn't dare to have any objections. They were afraid that if they had any objections, then they would be in danger. Therefore, everyone agreed to let Zhao Hai represent them to negotiate with those Great Sects.
To be honest, when Qing Lan saw the reaction of those Sect Masters, he was very disappointed. They were so timid and only cared about themselves. What could they do?
Qing Lan waved his hand and took out a piece of beast skin. Then he handed it over to Zhao Hai and said, "I'll hand this agreement over to you. Take it and go directly to Green Pine Village. This is because the command center of the Great Sects is located there. Although they launched several probing attacks before, the command center should be in Green Pine Village. This is because the location is too important." Qing Lan nodded and said, "I'll hand this agreement over to you. Take it and go directly to Green Pine Village.
Zhao Hai nodded and took the animal skin. Then he said, "Alright, then wait for my news. However, we also need to prepare for battle. That's all I have to say. I'll be going." Then Zhao Hai received the animal skin scroll and led Tie Niu and Tie Snake outside.
Qing Lan quickly led the group to send off Zhao Hai. They sent Zhao Hai to the transmission formation. Seeing Zhao Hai and the others disappear, Qing Lan felt relieved.
It was the same for Zhao Hai. He felt a flash of white light in front of him, and then they appeared in an unfamiliar transmission formation. As soon as they appeared, they were immediately discovered by other people. When these people saw Zhao Hai, their expressions changed, and then they immediately surrounded the transmission formation. Zhao Hai's eyes lit up, and then his eyes lit up.
Zhao Hai looked at the people around him and said, "I'm Sword 9, the Sect Master of the Sword Control Sect. I'm here to negotiate on behalf of the Sea Exploring Alliance."
When the cultivators around the transmission formation heard Zhao Hai, they were stunned. Then they stopped and didn't know what to do. It must be said that they were enemies with Zhao Hai. However, the truth was that their status was much lower compared to Zhao Hai. They didn't have the qualifications to challenge Zhao Hai.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, "So you're Saber9. Hmph, looks like those people think you're a newbie, so they've sent you to your death." As the voice rang out, a group of people flew out from Pine Stronghold.
Zhao Hai looked up and saw that these people flying over were all dressed as Taoists. Only a few people at the back were dressed differently. They were dressed as warriors.
Zhao Hai knew that some of these people came from the Mysterious Sky Sect while some came from the Mysterious Sword Sect. Although they were all dressed like Daoists, there were still some differences between them. Zhao Hai looked at the Daoists and knew that some of them came from the Mysterious Sky Sect while others came from the Mysterious Sword Sect. Although they were all dressed like Daoists, there were still differences.
The one who spoke before was the leader of these people. He looked to be in his fifties, and his hair was already a little white. His entire person had the demeanor of a transcendent being, and his temperament was extraordinary. Even if he was angry now, it still made people feel that it was the wrath of an immortal. It suppressed the heavens and the earth, making people feel breathless.
Zhao Hai looked at the Daoist and coldly snorted. He lifted his head and looked at the Daoist coldly. "No one can force me to do what I don't want to do. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do. There are many people who want to kill me, but there aren't many who can actually kill me. If you don't believe me, you can try." Zhao Hai looked at the Daoist and snorted.
"How dare you!" When the Taoist heard Zhao Hai's words, he couldn't help but be furious. He waved his hand and a ruyi scepter flew out from his hand, heading straight for Zhao Hai. This ruyi scepter looked very beautiful. It was white and had a very delicate luster, just like the delicate skin of a beautiful woman. At a glance, one could tell that it was a high-quality jade. However, there was a pattern on this jade. This pattern was very special. It looked like a fire phoenix spreading its wings and soaring in the sky. This fire phoenix was red in color and was very beautiful.
Zhao Hai knew at a glance that this jade scepter wasn't an ordinary treasure. However, Zhao Hai wasn't afraid. He waved his hand and a long sword flew towards the ruyi scepter. At the same time, Zhao Hai made a sword seal and said, "Ice!"
As soon as Zhao Hai said the word 'ice', the sword suddenly emitted a burst of cold air. Soon, the sword and the ruyi scepter collided. Although the ruyi scepter was blocked by the sword, the fire phoenix inside the scepter seemed to have come alive. It flew out of the scepter and rushed towards Zhao Hai.
But at this time, an ice phoenix also flew out of Zhao Hai's long sword. This ice phoenix looked very similar to the fire phoenix. The ice phoenix and the fire phoenix immediately collided. For a moment, the long sword and the scepter, the ice phoenix and the fire phoenix fought in the sky.
When the other people of the Mysterious Sky Sect saw this, their faces changed. They didn't expect Zhao Hai to be so strong. One must know that the Daoist who used the scepter was a famous elder of the Mysterious Sky Sect. His name was Xuanyangzi and his nickname was Ruyi Fire Phoenix. He was a famous expert of the Mysterious generation in the Mysterious Sky Sect. However, he was only evenly matched with Zhao Hai. This was really beyond their expectations.
Another Mysterious Sky Sect cultivator's face changed. He coldly snorted and moved his hand. A long sword went straight towards Zhao Hai. His sword was very fast. In the blink of an eye, it was already beside Zhao Hai.
But just as the long sword was about to pierce Zhao Hai, a shield suddenly appeared in front of the sword. With a clang, the long sword hit the shield and bounced back.
At this time, people noticed that the two servants behind Zhao Hai had already protected Zhao Hai in the middle. Zhao Hai obviously trusted them very much. He didn't pay attention to the changes around him at all. Instead, he was wholeheartedly fighting with Xuanyangzi.
Although the long sword of the Mysterious Sky Sect cultivator was bounced back, he didn't stop. He still directed his long sword towards Zhao Hai. Iron Bull used his shield and saber to block the attack of the flying sword.
It must be said that the flying sword of the Mysterious Sky Sect cultivator was very powerful. However, the shield and saber in Iron Bull's hand were all high-grade artifacts. Therefore, Iron Bull was able to block the flying sword.
