"Nonsense. We were ready to send out our troops. You guys couldn't wait any longer and attacked us instead. How dare you criticize us?"
"That's enough, Wu Zongde. We're all smart people. Why are you spouting nonsense? When you were dealing with the Black Sky Sect, your actions were slow. When you were dealing with us, your actions were quite pleasant. What else do you have to say now? It's only been a few days and your army is already here. We gave you a lot of time but you didn't do anything. I don't want to talk too much with you. It's useless. Wu Zongde, just tell us what you want. "
"What do we want? It's simple. Give us half of the buffer zone and we'll let you go. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude. "
"Hahaha, what a fool's dream. Wu Zongde, are you guys awake? How can you say something like that? Come and get it if you want. Stop dreaming if you want us to give you our territory." Wu Zongde waved his hand and the Qinglan Disk returned to the Seawatch Sect.
The reason why Daoist Master Qinglan did this was because he knew that although the Seventy-two Islands of the South Sea did not have large ritual implements, their large combat beasts could also be used as large ritual implements. Sometimes, those large combat beasts were even more useful than large ritual implements. Just like now, if Wu Zongde really attacked him, the other party's large combat beasts would immediately rush over, unlike the large ritual implements they used, which required a lot of time to accelerate.
In order to not give the Seventy-two Islands a chance, they took the initiative to retreat. Wu Zongde also understood Qinglan Daoist's thoughts. He immediately commanded the giant crab under his feet to pounce on Qinglan Daoist.
At this time, Qinglan Daoist and the others hadn't returned to the Seawatch Sect. If they were stopped by Wu Zongde's giant crab at this time, they would be in some trouble. Qinglan Daoist couldn't help but have a thought. The ruyi appeared in his hand and he attacked the giant crab.
As soon as Zhao Hai and the others saw Qing Lan making a move, they immediately followed suit. They used all kinds of artifacts to attack the giant crab. Seeing this, Wu Zongde knew that it was impossible for him to catch up. He coldly snorted and commanded the giant crab to retreat.
When Qing Lan and the others returned to the Wang Hai Sect, the attack of the 72 Islands of the South Sea began. The battle beasts directly rushed over and attacked the shield of the Wang Hai Sect.
The Sea Gazing Sect was not the Green Mist Sect, nor was it the Sword Defense Sect. Outside the barrier of the Green Mist Sect, there was a layer of illusion formation. They had also relied on this layer of illusion formation to block the attacks of the Mysterious Sky Sect time and time again, and the Five Elements Illusory Killing Formation of the Sword Defense Sect had become the nightmare of the Mysterious Sword Sect. However, the Sea Gazing Sect did not have an illusory formation, nor an illusory killing formation, so they could only rely on their barrier to block it.
Fortunately, the Green Mist Sect had already transferred a few Green Mist Plates, which could also resist for a while. In addition, almost all the experts of the various sects were here, so they could rely on the Mountain Protection Formation to block the attack of the 72 Islands of the South Sea.
At the same time, they also contacted the people of the Mysterious Sky Sect and asked them to attack the army of the 72 Islands of the South Sea from the back.
The people of the 72 Islands of the South Sea obviously did not expect that the Exploration Sea Alliance would join forces with the Mysterious Sky Sect, so they did not put the Exploration Sea Alliance in their eyes. As soon as they arrived, they did not take much rest and directly attacked. This was exactly what Qing Lan and the others wanted. They were already waiting for an exhausted enemy. If the Mysterious Sky Sect attacked from the back, it would be a pincer attack. They were not afraid of the 72 Islands of the South Sea being defeated.
This time, the Mysterious Sky Sect really wanted to attack the army of the 72 Islands of the South Sea. So, as soon as they received the message from Qing Lan and the others, they immediately moved and rushed towards the back of the army of the 72 Islands of the South Sea.
When the army of the 72 Islands of the South Sea was about to attack, there was suddenly chaos at the back. The army of the Mysterious Sky Sect directly attacked, which caused the army of the 72 Islands of the South Sea to be in chaos. Seizing this opportunity, the people of the Exploration Sea Alliance also took the opportunity to attack. However, because they did not have many large instruments, although their attack was fierce, it was not as powerful as the army of the Mysterious Sky Sect.
The people of the 72 Islands of the South Sea knew that the situation was not good at first sight. They also desperately tried to break out, but now that they were surrounded, it was not easy to break out.
But fortunately, they had a lot of large war beasts this time. They used the large war beasts as the vanguard and desperately rushed out. They really killed a bloody path and finally broke out of the encirclement.
Zhao Hai and the others were also very clear that it was impossible to stop the army of the 72 Islands of the South Sea. They could only try their best to kill the enemy's strength, so they chased them all the way and did not let them go. They chased the people of the 72 Islands of the South Sea all the way to the seaside before they slowly stopped and retreated back to Seawatch City.
Although this period of time was not very long, 20,000 of the 40,000 troops of the 72 Islands of the South Sea were left in the buffer zone. All kinds of war beasts were also killed and injured. It could be said that this battle had crippled the army of the 72 Islands of the South Sea.
After defeating the army of the 72 Islands of the South Sea, everyone began to rest and reorganize. However, Daoist Master Fierce Tiger did not rest in the buffer zone. Instead, he directly led his army back to the Mysterious Sky Sect. Daoist Master Fierce Tiger was very clear that even if they reorganized in the buffer zone, Qing Lan and the others would still be on guard against them. Although they would provide them with some materials, they would not be too polite to them. They could not rest well here, so it was better to return to their own sect as soon as possible so that they could have a good rest.
Although they had just repelled the people of the 72 Islands of the South Sea, Daoist Master Fierce Tiger did not think that the people of the 72 Islands of the South Sea would have the courage to come back. The people of the 72 Islands of the South Sea should have also discovered that the Mysterious Sky Sect was among the army that attacked them. It was precisely because of this discovery that they did not dare to come back.
After sending away the people of the Mysterious Sky Sect, Zhao Hai and the others immediately cleaned up the battlefield and did a simple rest. Three days passed like this. In these three days, the people of the 72 Islands of the South Sea did not come back to attack them. Instead, they retreated. Only then did they feel relieved and returned to their own sects to rest and reorganize.
The Jianyu Sect's rest and reorganization was not too bad. They did not have too many things to do, but the Qing Lan Sect was different. They still had to take over the territories of the sects that retreated with the Mysterious Sky Sect. They also had to provide resources to Zhao Hai and the others that did not want their territories. They were very busy.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai and the others were not without any benefits. Their territory had also expanded a little. Originally, the Jianyu Sect did not control many cities. Now, after some research by the Qing Lan Sect and the others, the surrounding cities of the Jianyu Sect were also given to the Jianyu Sect. This was what the Jianyu Sect deserved. In fact, even so, everyone felt that the Jianyu Sect had suffered a loss. This was because the Jianyu Sect had contributed a lot in this war. However, they did not get much in return. This made the greedy cultivators feel a little embarrassed. Therefore, they took the initiative to give the ownership of several cities to the Jianyu Sect.
Actually, Zhao Hai didn't care about these things. The reason why the Sword Imperial Sect didn't want a lot of territories was because they didn't have enough manpower. The Sword Imperial Sect, Tidewatch City, and the Secret Realm were too few in number. But Zhao Hai wasn't at ease with recruiting people now. Therefore, he could only take it slowly. Because of this, they didn't have enough manpower. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't ask for more territories. Because of this, their manpower became even more tight.
In any case, now that the matter was over, Zhao Hai and the others could relax. They really needed to take a good rest for a while. At the same time, they needed to recruit more people.
Now, they could finally show the sign of the Jianyu Sect. The disciples of the Jianyu Sect could also walk the world openly.
Zhao Hai was very happy about this situation. Now, not only did they not have to worry about the Great Sects coming to their door, their identity could also be revealed. This was a great thing for them.
However, Zhao Hai was now thinking about another matter. That was, should they make some large artifacts? Without large artifacts, there were a lot of inconveniences, especially in a war like this.
However, this matter had to be put aside for the time being. They had to deal with the matter at hand first. Through this battle, the Sea Exploration Alliance was officially established. Although this alliance was relatively loose like what Daoist Master Fierce Tiger said, everyone had fought side by side and experienced life and death together. Some of the previous conflicts in the alliance were considered to be in the past. They would have a period of stable development.
In addition, they didn't succeed in forming an alliance with the 72 islands in the South Sea, but they did form an alliance with the Profound Sky Sect. Naturally, the two sides could also trade some materials. This was very good for their future development.
In fact, the Sea Exploration Alliance paid a great price for this independence. Not only did they lose people, but they also consumed a lot of materials. After all, they had gone through several wars. Each time, the amount of materials consumed was astronomical. Therefore, it would take a long time for the Sea Exploration Alliance to recover.
Then there was the problem of manpower. After these few battles, they had lost a lot of manpower. In addition, nearly half of the sects in the buffer zone had run away with the Black Sky Sect. The empty territories had been divided by the Green Mist Sect. As a result, those sects were somewhat lacking in manpower. Therefore, the Green Mist Sect needed a period of time to rest and reorganize before recruiting some disciples.
It was very easy for the Green Mist Sect to recruit disciples. They generally recruited Rogue Cultivators. As long as the Rogue Cultivators weren't too old and their cultivation was passable, they could directly join the sect. As long as they were trained for a period of time, they would be able to become a disciple of the sect.
In fact, Zhao Hai had also recruited some such disciples. In the past, Zhao Hai had always wanted to recruit those who had ascended. He didn't want to recruit Rogue Cultivators because everyone in his sect was an ascended cultivator. In the Sword Spirit World, ascended cultivators were looked down upon the most. They were even inferior to Rogue Cultivators. If Rogue Cultivators were recruited and knew about the details of these people, they might cause trouble. But now, there was no other way because they needed manpower. Therefore, they could only recruit a group of Rogue Cultivators first and see if they could be of use.
At the same time, Zhao Hai also divided the ranks of the Sect's disciples. The Outer Sect disciples were still the same, but the threshold for Inner Sect disciples was raised. Unlike before, as long as one reached the Qi Refining Tenth Order, one could become an Inner Sect disciple. Now, the Inner Sect disciples of the Tide Observing Faction had to reach the Qi Refining Divinity Realm. Although the Core Disciples were also at the Qi Refining Divinity Realm, they were chosen to be stronger and had greater potential.
Moreover, Zhao Hai was also preparing for the Sect to hold a competition in the future. The Inner Sect disciples and the Core Disciples would compete. If the Core Disciple lost, then he would be demoted to an Inner Sect disciple. If the Inner Sect disciple won, then he could become a Core Disciple. This would form a competition in the Sect, which would make the disciples progress faster.
Although the various Sects of the Sea Exploring Alliance were resting, they were still very careful. Whether it was the Seventy-two Islands of the South Sea or the Mysterious Heaven Sect, they were very vigilant. They were even prepared to take action at any time.
Needless to say, the Seventy-two Islands of the South Sea had just finished fighting with them. The Seventy-two Islands of the South Sea might not be able to swallow their anger. Zhao Hai was worried that the Seventy-two Islands of the South Sea would retaliate, so they had to be careful.
As for the Mysterious Heaven Sect Alliance, Zhao Hai and the others were also very careful. Although they had formed an alliance with the Mysterious Heaven Sect Alliance, they were still enemies. Who knew that the Mysterious Heaven Sect Alliance would suddenly break the agreement and attack them? If they weren't careful, then they might suffer a loss.
In fact, the Mysterious Heaven Sect Alliance was also resting. Although they spent most of the time attacking the Sea Exploring Alliance, this didn't mean that they didn't suffer any losses. Zhao Hai's attack on their branch had caused them a lot of losses. If it wasn't for Zhao Hai, then they might not have made up their mind to form an alliance with the Sea Exploring Alliance. In addition, they also suffered a lot of losses when they fought with the Sea Exploring Alliance. Therefore, the Mysterious Heaven Sect Alliance also suffered a lot of losses.
In addition to the Mysterious Heaven Sect Alliance, this time, it was equivalent to swallowing half of the buffer zone. After all, these people weren't originally from the Mysterious Heaven Sect Alliance. Although they had joined the Mysterious Heaven Sect Alliance now, they still needed some time to adapt. Therefore, the Mysterious Heaven Sect Alliance also needed some time to recover. Before that, they naturally couldn't fall out with the Sea Exploring Alliance.
The Seventy-two Islands of the South Sea also suffered a lot of losses. Zhao Hai's attack on their Central Island plus the Sea Exploring Alliance and the Mysterious Heaven Sect Alliance's joint attack, naturally, they suffered a lot of losses. Moreover, the Seventy-two Islands of the South Sea also had internal conflicts, so they also needed to take a good rest.
