Zhao Hai looked at them and couldn't help but smile. Then he said, "Gentlemen, let's not talk about these useless things. Let's talk about your intentions."
Xuanyangzi looked at Zhao Hai and said, "We can agree to your conditions. We can form an alliance with the Exploration Sea Alliance. We can even withdraw from the buffer zone and hand it over to you. We also want Han to promise that we won't attack the alliance in the future. However, we also have conditions."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, please speak."
Xuanyangzi said, "First, when we withdraw from the buffer zone, we can take some Cultivators who are willing to come with us. If they agree to come with us, you can't stop them."
When Zhao Hai heard this, he immediately understood what the Profound Sky Sect was planning. However, he didn't care, he just nodded and said, "Alright, as long as they're willing to follow you, you can take them away. However, you can't destroy the original sects as you wish." Zhao Hai nodded.
Xuanyangzi nodded and said, "We can agree to this. Second, we hope that you can cooperate with us. We'll send troops to deal with the incoming army of the 72 Islands. It's best if we can kill them all."
Zhao Hai looked at Xuanyangzi and said, "That's also fine. After all, the people from the 72 Oceanic Islands came for us. We still have to thank you. Therefore, there's no problem with that."
Xuanyangzi looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Third, when we have a conflict with the 72 Islands in the future, I hope that you can support us. When we go to war with the 72 Islands, I hope that you can support us."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "This isn't a problem. However, there's one thing we need to say first. We can support you, but we must remain independent. Moreover, we can send troops to help you. We can also give you supplies. We can also lend you passage. But whether it's troops or supplies, you should compensate us. Do you understand?"
Xuanyangzi looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Understood. We can promise you this, but we won't compensate you when we pass by."
"We don't need any compensation, but you should know that if you go to war with the 72 Islands of the South Sea and lose, the people of the 72 Islands of the South Sea may chase you all the way to the buffer zone. If that happens, we will be forced to go to war with the 72 Islands of the South Sea. At that time, you will have to compensate us.
"No. If it's really because of us, the people from the 72 Islands of the South Sea will definitely make it up to you. You can rest assured."
"Alright, then it's settled. As for the agreement, I don't care if we sign it or not. We have an agreement with the 72 Islands of the South Sea, but in the end, they still refused to acknowledge it. So, this agreement is just a piece of paper. If you want to tear it up, it's useless."
Xuan Yaozi, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Don't compare us with the 72 Islands of the South Sea. The agreement must be signed. After we sign it, we will announce it to the world, so you don't have to worry about anything."
When Zhao Hai heard Xuan Yaozi's words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then he nodded and said, "Alright, then let's sign it. But if you two agree with me, we will represent the Sea Exploration Alliance and the Profound Sky Sect Alliance respectively. How about that?"
Xuanyangzi and Xuan Yaozi nodded. Originally, they were supposed to sign the agreement. It was impossible for them to bring it back to the sect masters. This time, the Sea Exploration Alliance's representative had always been Zhao Hai, so the agreement would naturally be signed by Zhao Hai. Naturally, there wouldn't be any problems.
Zhao Hai looked at Xuanyangzi and Xuan Yaozi's expressions and smiled slightly. Then he said in a deep voice, "Then, please wait for a moment. Alliance Master, please sign the agreement." Qing Lan nodded and sent someone to get the beast skin. Then she wrote down the terms and conditions that were agreed upon. Then Zhao Hai, Xuanyangzi, and Xuan Yaozi all signed the agreement.
After they signed, Xuanyangzi and Xuan Yaozi directly took the agreement and left. Zhao Hai and the others also politely sent the two to the transmission formation.
After the two left, Zhao Hai and the others returned to the main hall. After sitting down, Qing Lan looked at Zhao Hai and said, "I didn't think that the Profound Sky Sect would actually agree to our request."
Zhao Hai replied, "They will certainly agree. This is because they discovered that their biggest enemy isn't us. If we can stand on their side in the face of the 72 islands, then they would definitely form an alliance with us. We don't have too much enmity with them. However, they still have two backup plans, so we need to be careful." Zhao Hai nodded, "That's right.
Zhao Hai explained, "First, they said that they would take away those who are willing to follow them. This means that as long as they are willing, they can follow them. Moreover, these people would be able to join their Sects directly. Moreover, these disciples would be treated very well. They are doing this to let our disciples see how they treat them. You should know that the treatment of Great Sects is much better than that of our disciples. They are doing this to make our disciples feel that being in our Sects is better than being in their Sects. This way, our disciples would be tempted to join their Sects. When the time comes, they would be tempted to join them. This is a trick that Great Sects often use, so we have to be on guard against this." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, let's see if the Great Sects are willing to follow them. But this time, the Great Sects would be able to directly join their Sects. Moreover, their treatment would also be very good. They are doing this to let our disciples see how they treat them.
As soon as Qing Lan and the others heard Zhao Hai's words, they immediately understood what Zhao Hai meant. They all frowned. Just like what Zhao Hai said, this was indeed what they had to face. Moreover, it was something that they had been facing all along. This problem was indeed easy to solve, so they could only be more careful in the future. There was no other good way.
Zhao Hai looked at the crowd and then said, "The second thing is this operation against the 72 Islands. It can be said that the main reason why the Profound Sky Sect wants to join us in attacking the 72 Islands is to make us become enemies with them. Now, we have a grudge against the 72 Islands, but they are the ones who are in the wrong. Therefore, after their attack, we can think of a way to ease our relationship. This is what the Profound Sky Sect is worried about. Therefore, they said that they want to attack the 72 Islands with us in order to let the 72 Islands understand that we have formed an alliance with them. This will make the people of the 72 Islands think that we are on the same side as the Profound Sky Sect. Our grudge against the 72 Islands may not be so easily resolved."
Qing Lan and the others were stunned for a moment. Then, they understood what Zhao Hai meant. They frowned. To be honest, offending the 72 Islands was really not a good choice. This was because the 72 Islands were too close to them. They could be attacked by the 72 Islands at any time. Becoming enemies with the 72 Islands wouldn't do them any good.
If we don't form an alliance with the Mysterious Sky Sect, then we'll be in trouble. The Mysterious Sky Sect won't let us off, and the same goes for the 72 Southern Islands. At the very least, we don't have to worry about the Mysterious Sky Sect. If they dare to announce our alliance to the world, then our agreement should be stable. "Zhao Hai nodded and said," Don't think too much about it. If we don't form an alliance with the Mysterious Sky Sect, then our agreement should be stable. "
Qing Lan and the others nodded and let out a sigh of relief. Just as Zhao Hai said, forming an alliance with the Mysterious Sky Sect was the best choice. Not only would they be able to solve the crisis of the Sea Alliance, they would also be able to obtain the entire buffer zone. For them, this was good news that couldn't be any better.
Qing Lan let out a long breath and said, "This is indeed good news. In any case, the final victory will be ours."
Zhao Hai and the others nodded. Then Zhao Hai smiled and said, "As long as we defeat the 72 islands, then our buffer zone would be safe for the time being. We can then develop in peace for a while. Everyone's territory can also be strengthened. I believe that one day, we will become as strong as the Mysterious Sky Sect." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, alright. Alright, alright.
Everyone nodded. Their hearts were filled with unspeakable joy. This time, their exploration of the Sea Alliance was really a close call. If it weren't for Zhao Hai's response, it would be hard to say what would happen in the end.
Zhao Hai was also very happy. Right now, the Tide-watching Gang needed a stable period of time to develop themselves. Only when they slowly grew stronger could they carry out the next step of their plan. If they wanted to swallow the Green Mist Sect and the others, then they would just collapse. This was because they didn't have the ability to do so right now.
Qing Lan looked at everyone and said, "Now we have to wait for the news from the Profound Sky Sect. I want to see if the Profound Sky Sect will go back on their words like the 72 Islands of the South Sea. If they really retreat, then we will have to prepare to deal with the 72 Islands of the South Sea."
Everyone nodded. This time, they didn't celebrate like the last time when they signed the agreement with the 72 Islands of the South Sea. This was because they realized that sometimes, some people really couldn't be trusted. Last time, it was because they believed in the 72 Islands of the South Sea that led to the crisis. This time, they must wait until the matter is completely over before celebrating, because only then can they be sure that they have overcome the crisis.
Zhao Hai's face was calm. After a while, he said, "Everyone, then I will go back first. I have to prepare for the next battle. Whether the Profound Sky Sect will follow the agreement or not, we have to be prepared. If they follow the agreement, then we have to prepare to deal with the 72 Islands of the South Sea. If they don't follow the agreement, then we have to be even more prepared because we may face a two-sided attack from the 72 Islands of the South Sea and the Profound Sky Sect. If we can't resist their attack, then we will have no future."
Everyone nodded and took their leave one after another.
