Zhao Hai and the others were sitting inside the Great Hall of the Green Mist Sect. Everyone seemed very relaxed, the atmosphere inside the Great Hall was also very good. Green Mist looked at everyone and smiled, "Good news, this is really good news. I didn't think that the 72 Islands would actually agree to cooperate with us. If they can really force the Mysterious Sky Sect to retreat, then the buffer zone would be ours." Zhao Hai and the others were sitting inside the Green Mist Sect's Great Hall.
Everyone nodded, including Zhao Hai. However, Zhao Hai wasn't as optimistic as them. In Zhao Hai's view, there were still some variables in this matter. But in any case, the current crisis was over. As for the variables, it was even better. As long as there weren't too many changes, they might be able to reap some benefits.
The reason why Zhao Hai felt this way was because he felt that the people of the 72 Southern Sea Islands had agreed too quickly this time. Moreover, they didn't ask for anything at all. This was somewhat abnormal. On the surface, it seemed like they were forced by the situation and had no choice but to do so. However, in Zhao Hai's view, this matter wasn't that simple. Therefore, Zhao Hai still believed that the people of the 72 Southern Sea Islands might have other intentions.
But in any case, in Zhao Hai's view, the people of the 72 Southern Sea Islands were easier to deal with than the Black Sky Sect. This was because the people of the 72 Southern Sea Islands didn't have much desire to control the buffer zone. They also didn't want to control the buffer zone because if they really wanted to control the buffer zone, the Black Sky Sect would never agree. At that time, there would be a real war.
Therefore, Zhao Hai believed that the people of the 72 Southern Sea Islands might want to teach them a lesson. In other words, they would let them suffer a little loss, but they wouldn't kill them. After all, they had already signed an agreement with the people of the 72 Southern Sea Islands. Although this agreement was useless when necessary, it was still very useful now. Moreover, this agreement was better than nothing. Now that they were cooperating with the Qinglan Sect, if they really killed the Qinglan Sect, then it would be hard to say who the people who came up would cooperate with.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai wasn't worried. In Zhao Hai's view, if the people of the 72 Southern Sea Islands really did that, then the Exploration Sea Alliance would definitely suffer losses. However, he could guarantee that the Jianyu Sect's losses would be the least. In this way, the strength of the Jianyu Sect would be imperceptibly stronger than the other sects, which would be more convenient for him in the future.
Qing Lan didn't forget Zhao Hai. Previously, the sects of the Exploration Sea Alliance suddenly joined the Black Sky Sect. It could be said that their situation was very dangerous. It was precisely because of Zhao Hai's idea that they were able to turn the misfortune into a blessing. Now, not only did they not have to worry about the Black Sky Sect, but they also had hopes of controlling the entire buffer zone. In other words, their territory would be much larger than before, maybe even double in size. This was definitely a good thing.
Qing Gang looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master Jian, this time, it's all thanks to your idea. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that we would be in danger this time. What do you think about our next situation?"
As soon as Qing Lan said this, everyone looked at Zhao Hai. They all wanted to know what Zhao Hai's opinion was. Now, they had complete faith in Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "I don't have any opinion. If the 72 Islands make a move, the Profound Sky Sect might really retreat. However, we shouldn't rush to attack right now. The Profound Sky Sect certainly wouldn't be willing to retreat. Perhaps before they leave, they would launch a counterattack and give us a ruthless blow. Therefore, we need to defend for now. Once we confirm that the Profound Sky Sect has left, it wouldn't be too late for us to make a move. As long as the Profound Sky Sect leaves, the sects that have sided with the Profound Sky Sect would certainly panic. This would be our opportunity to attack and take them down in one fell swoop." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I don't think so.
Everyone nodded. At the same time, they slowly calmed down. These people were all Sect Masters, so naturally, they weren't fools. Previously, they were too happy because they had survived a disaster. Now that Zhao Hai reminded them, they immediately sobered up. These people had dealt with the Black Sky Sect and other sects before. They were very clear that sects like the Black Sky Sect wouldn't be willing to admit defeat. As long as there was a chance, they would definitely retaliate. Therefore, before they left, they would definitely plot against them or give them a hard time. It was precisely because of this that they had to be more careful. At this time, they couldn't afford to make any mistakes. If they suffered unnecessary losses because of their carelessness at this time, it would be too unfair.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I think that after today's gathering, we should all go back to our sects to prepare for the battle. Whether it's the Black Sky Sect attacking us or us attacking the sects that surrendered to the Black Sky Sect, we need to be prepared. We can't make preparations at the last moment. Otherwise, it'll be too late."
Everyone nodded. Qing Lan also nodded and said, "Sect Master Jian is right. We should go and prepare. Alright, let's have a good drink and celebrate. After that, everyone can go back to their sects to prepare. Anyway, we don't need to talk to the Black Sky Sect anymore. Naturally, we have to go back and prepare for the battle."
Everyone nodded. Then, Qing Lan ordered people to serve food and wine. After everyone ate and drank, they returned to their sects to prepare for the next battle.
When Zhao Hai returned to the Jianyu Sect, he immediately had Wen Wenhai and the others prepare. The people that they selected before didn't change. It was impossible for Zhao Hai to let anything happen to the Jianyu Sect. Because of this, the Jianyu Sect must have enough people.
This time, Zhao Hai prepared 1200 people. 1000 of them were disciples who couldn't fly. However, they were all Inner Sect disciples. Their techniques were very good and their collective attacks were very powerful. As for the 200 people, 170 of them were core disciples who could fly. The remaining 30 were disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall. This Law Enforcement Hall specialized in enforcing the sect's laws. If someone violates the sect's rules, then they would arrest the person. These people were all trained by Ding Chunming and were very strong.
These people were the people that Zhao Hai prepared. He also wanted to prepare more people. However, they didn't have enough people right now. It was precisely because of this that he said that the Tidewatering Gang could only defend and not attack. This was because their strength was still too weak.
After handing over the matters, Zhao Hai relaxed. Then he waited for the news. With their current accumulation, this battle wouldn't be a problem. Because of this, Zhao Hai was able to relax.
Sure enough, just as Zhao Hai and the others thought, the Profound Sky Sect might have known that Zhao Hai was cooperating with the 72 islands. Therefore, they directly sent troops to attack the sects of the Exploration Sea Alliance. Even the Jianyu Sect was attacked.
However, what surprised Zhao Hai was that the attacks that the Jianyu Sect encountered weren't very fierce. The attacks were more like probing attacks. When the Jianyu Sect wanted to counterattack, the other party immediately retreated. Even if the Jianyu Sect didn't counterattack, the other party would still retreat. This made Zhao Hai very puzzled.
In fact, Zhao Hai didn't know that the Jianyu Sect's formations were already famous in the Sword Spirit World. Although the buffer zone was a very remote place compared to the entire Sword Spirit World, it wasn't worth the attention of the Great Sects. However, the Great Sects still paid attention to this place. They knew about the battle between the Jianyu Sect and the Mysterious Sword Sect. And because of this battle, the Jianyu Sect's formations became famous in the Sword Spirit World.
In the Sword Spirit World, there really weren't any sects that were famous for their formations. Even if there were some sects that were famous for their formations, they didn't focus on formations. Formations were really the weakness of the Sword Spirit World.
However, the Jianyu Sect relied on a formation to eliminate nearly twenty thousand people from the Mysterious Sword Sect in one fell swoop. This kind of battle record was really scary. Therefore, the Great Sects noticed the Jianyu Sect and knew about its formations.
It was also because they knew about the Jianyu Sect's formations that those who came to attack the Jianyu Sect knew how powerful it was. Naturally, they didn't dare to attack. The twenty thousand disciples of the Mysterious Sword Sect were still corpses. They could repeat the same mistake. Therefore, this kind of situation naturally occurred.
When Zhao Hai saw this situation, he was happy to stall for time with them. As long as they waited for the people from the 72 Southern Sea Islands to make a move, their crisis would be resolved.
However, Zhao Hai still underestimated the shamelessness of the people from the 72 Southern Sea Islands. They waited in the sect for a full ten days, but they still didn't receive any news of the 72 Southern Sea Islands making a move. They didn't even send back the alliance agreement. And in these ten days, the Mysterious Sky Sect had already attacked their sects. Although the Jianyu Sect encountered fewer attacks, the other sects encountered more attacks. Some sects had already suffered a lot of casualties.
After learning about this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but frown. He felt that something was wrong. It was clear that the people from the 72 Islands were stalling for time. If they were to continue taking off their clothes, then they would be in danger. Zhao Hai didn't think that this was the case.
At the thought of this, Zhao Hai immediately went to the Green Mist Sect. Now, the Green Mist Sect was attacked by the Mysterious Sky Sect again. Moreover, the scale of the attack was even larger than the last time. However, this time, Zhao Hai didn't bring any reinforcements. Instead, he brought Tie Niu and Tie Snake to the Green Mist Sect.
As soon as he appeared in the Green Mist Sect, the people of the Green Mist Sect immediately noticed him and went to inform Daoist Master Qing Lan. Daoist Master Qing Lan was currently commanding the battle at the front line. As soon as he heard that Zhao Hai had arrived, he immediately went to the transmission array to see Zhao Hai.
As soon as he saw Zhao Hai, Qing Lan cupped his fist and said, "Sect Master Jian, you're here. It seems that we have been fooled by the 72 Southern Sea Islands again. They didn't even think of helping us. Otherwise, they wouldn't have done nothing for such a long time. Sigh, because of them, we missed the time to negotiate with the Mysterious Sky Sect. Now that we have started fighting, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to stop. The people from the 72 Southern Sea Islands are too shameless."
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "What I'm thinking now is whether they really want to see us and the Mysterious Sky Sect suffer or are they trying to stall us and teach us a lesson."
Qing Lan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhao Hai. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Hai continued, "Actually, we borrowed the Mysterious Sky Sect's hand to force the 72 Islands to cooperate with us, but it wasn't a very clever plan. They would go back and think about it. Because of this, they might feel very indignant, so they wanted to teach us a lesson. They wanted to delay their attack by a few days so that the Mysterious Sky Sect would attack us. This way, they would achieve their goal. I think the possibility of this is very high. After all, the 72 Islands should now understand that it is impossible for us to stop the Mysterious Sky Sect. Moreover, if the Mysterious Sky Sect really takes over the buffer zone, then the other righteous sects would flock over, making it even more impossible for them to take over the buffer zone. Therefore, they should be willing to help us, but I don't know how long they will delay. If they don't help us, then the unlucky ones will be us. How about this, Daoist Priest, you send a letter to the 72 Islands in the name of the Sea Exploration Alliance. Tell them that we will only give them five days. Tell them that this is not a discussion, but a notice. No matter what reason they have, we will only give them five days. If they don't send their troops after five days, then we will no longer resist and attack them instead." Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Since you are the leader of the Sea Exploration Alliance, you can directly send a letter to the 72 Islands in the name of Sea Exploration Alliance. Tell them that we will only give them five days. Tell them that this is not a discussion, but a notice. No matter what reason they have, we will only give them five days. If they don't send their troops after five days, then we will no longer resist and attack them instead."
Qing Lan nodded and said, "Alright, I'll let them know. What if they don't send their troops after five days? Then what do we do? Do we really feel that they're resisting? "
Zhao Hai coldly snorted and said, "Of course we'll still resist. But at that time, we'll have to use our second plan. Right now, our Exploration Sea Alliance is under attack. However, our Jianyu Sect's attack is relatively light. We can spare some people. If they still don't send their troops after five days, then I'll personally lead the Jianyu Sect to attack the 72 Southern Islands. I'll kill one person if I see two people. I'll kill two people if I see two people. Let's see if the 72 Southern Islands can still remain calm. Tell the other Sect Masters that we'll wait for five days. If the 72 Southern Islands still don't send their troops after five days, then the other Sects will send their troops to the Southern Sea with me. We'll make the 72 Southern Islands pay for what they've done!"
"Alright! It's time to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they'll really think that we're pushovers. I support you. I'll immediately send a letter to the seventy-two islands in the Southern Sea and inform the other sects! "
