After Wu Yu heard this, he turned to look at Zhao Hai and said, "Good, very good. You've done a good job. Na Yun, tell me what you think."
Na Yun shared his thoughts with Wu Yu. Then he said, "I think this is an opportunity, an opportunity for us to extend our hand to the South Sea. However, I think that the buffer zone is just a springboard. Even if we extend our hand to the buffer zone, our final goal is still the 72 islands of the South Sea, not the buffer zone. Therefore, it's best for us to get along peacefully with the people in the buffer zone as much as possible. There's no need for any conflicts. If we really deal with the people in the buffer zone and make them anxious, it's possible that they'll seek refuge with others."
Wu Yu nodded and said, "What you said is very good. In fact, the buffer zone isn't as poor as you think. There are a lot of good things there. If we establish a connection with the buffer zone, it will certainly help the Sects. As for extending our hand to the South Sea, don't be too clear about it. It can even be said that we don't need to think about it right now. We just need to do our own things. Do you think that only you can think of such a method? Sects like the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Heaven One Dao Sect can't think of such a method? Therefore, don't be too hopeful about this matter. However, I'm not opposed to establishing a connection with the Sects in the buffer zone. Na Yun, I'll leave this matter to you. "
Na Yun nodded. Then the two left the Great Strength Hall and returned to Na Yun's residence. After the two sat down, Na Yun looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Jing Hai, where do you think we should start from if we want to enter the buffer zone?"
There are only two sects in the buffer zone right now. One is the Green Mist Sect, and the other is the Sword Defense Sect. Needless to say, the Green Mist Sect was the first to propose the idea of independent sects in the buffer zone. Moreover, Daoist Master Qing Lan is the Alliance Leader of the Sea Exploration Alliance. Therefore, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Green Mist Sect is the most popular sect in the buffer zone. It would be best to cooperate with them, but I'm afraid that it would be difficult. Daoist Master Qing Lan seems to have a special relationship with the Puppet Sect. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to obtain the Puppet Sect's large artifacts. The other sect is the Sword Defense Sect. This Sword Defense Sect is very mysterious. The people in the Sword Defense Sect are no longer part of the original Sword Defense Sect. Nobody knows what kind of characteristics they have, or what kind of personnel they have. Cooperating with them might be risky since they have the support of other sects. Even the people in the Sea Exploration Alliance don't know about this. Because of this, I feel that cooperating with them would be very risky. As for the other sects, we can cooperate with them, but I don't know much about them. "Zhao Hai nodded, then he said," The Sword Defense Sect is very mysterious. The people in the Sword Defense Sect are no longer the same as before. Nobody knows what kind of characteristics they have.
Nuan Yun nodded, then he thought for a moment before he said, "Jing Hai, I'll give you a task. Go to the buffer zone and try to get in touch with the Green Mist Sect and the Sword Defense Sect. See their attitude towards us. If their attitude is good, then we can cooperate with them directly. If they don't, then we'll just say that we want to open a shop in their city and see how they react. If they don't agree, then we'll have to think of another way."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I understand. Then I'll go to the Green Mist Sect and ask them. The people in the buffer zone are very sensitive. They are guarding against outsiders like how they guard against thieves. When I went to the Green Mist Sect's city last time, they noticed me. But at that time, I covered my skin, so they thought that I was a Rogue Cultivator and didn't know my identity. This time, I'll go with the identity of the Iron Buddha Temple. At the same time, I'll tell them that I'm representing Senior Brother. Senior Brother, you want to cooperate with them, not the Temple. What does Senior Brother think?"
What do you think? "The reason why Zhao Hai didn't want to directly cooperate with the Tide-watching Sect was because he was afraid that the Iron Buddha Temple would notice something. The Tide-watching Sect had a lot of secrets, so he didn't say anything and directly cooperated with them.
However, if the Iron Buddha Temple wanted to cooperate with them, then Zhao Hai wouldn't reject it. Because of this, Zhao Hai decided to go to the Greenmist Sect and see if they agreed to cooperate with the Iron Buddha Temple. If the Greenmist Sect agreed to cooperate with the Iron Buddha Temple, then the Iron Buddha Temple wouldn't go to the Jianyu Sect. If the Iron Buddha Temple didn't want to cooperate with them, then they would go to the Jianyu Sect.
Zhao Hai even thought of a plan. If the Iron Buddha Temple wants to cooperate with the Sword Imperial Sect, then Zhao Hai wanted to see if the other sects would do the same. If they do, then Zhao Hai could open up a small city and use it as a specialized trading center. Zhao Hai didn't expect that the Iron Buddha Temple would cooperate with the Sword Imperial Sect.
However, this idea was something that Zhao Hai had just thought of, so it was hard to say if it would actually happen. Just like what he told Nuan Yun, the buffer zone was now on guard against outsiders. If he really wants to build a small city, then he would need the approval of the other sects. Otherwise, if he really builds a small city, then it would be troublesome for him to do so.
After hearing Zhao Hai, Nuan Yun nodded and said, "Alright, I'll do it in my name. After all, everyone knows that Core Disciples of Great Sects have their own forces. If I want to expand my influence, then I'll establish a shop somewhere else. This is normal. You can talk to the people from the Mysterious Sky Sect." Nuan Yun nodded.
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Alright, Senior Brother, then I'll go prepare. I'll give you the news as soon as possible."
Nuan Yun said, "Alright, go. Time is tight right now, so I'll have to trouble you."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I'm not tired, this is just a small matter. Senior Brother, I'll take my leave first." Then he stood up and gave Nuan Yun a salute before he turned around and left.
Nuan Yun sent Zhao Hai to the door. After seeing Zhao Hai leave, he returned to the courtyard. It must be said that he was very satisfied with Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai's strength had improved very quickly. Moreover, Zhao Hai had helped him a lot. Because of this, Nuan Yun was very optimistic about Zhao Hai and was prepared to put him in an important position in the future.
One couldn't blame Nuan Yun for being so good to Zhao Hai. This was because Zhao Hai's actions had made Nuan Yun proud. This made Nuan Yun's status in the sect become higher and higher. Because of this, Nuan Yun was paying more attention to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai didn't care too much about this. He directly left through the transmission formation. After passing through several people, Zhao Hai finally arrived at the territory of the Greenmist Sect. In fact, he didn't appear here as a Monk before. However, what he said about Rogue Cultivators being monitored was true.
Zhao Hai arrived at the Greenmist Sect's Jade Mound City. This was the second largest city under the Greenmist Sect's rule. However, it had now become the largest city. This was because the original largest city under the Greenmist Sect's rule was destroyed during the war. The city was too close to the Greenmist Sect. Because of this, Jade Mound City became the largest city under the Greenmist Sect.
The Greenmist Sect was now preparing to rebuild the city. However, this wasn't an easy matter. After all, the city wasn't small. It would take a lot of time to rebuild it.
When Zhao Hai appeared in Jade Mound City, he was immediately discovered by the disciples of the Greenmist Sect. Although it had been a month since the war, the people in the buffer zone didn't relax their vigilance. Each city was firmly under the control of the various sects. They would send people to patrol the streets from time to time.
When the two Greenmist Sect disciples saw Zhao Hai, they immediately came over. One of them bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Grandmaster, may I ask if Grandmaster is a Daoist from the Iron Buddha Temple?"
Zhao Hai was now using Jing Hai's identity. Therefore, he had the most obvious symbol of the Iron Buddha Temple. His iron-black skin was something that others couldn't imitate even if they wanted to.
Zhao Hai bowed to the two and said, "Amitabha. This poor monk is Jing Hai, a core disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple. I'm here to seek an audience with the Sect Master of the Greenmist Sect. I'll have to trouble you two to pass on my message."
When the two Greenmist Sect disciples heard Zhao Hai's words, they stared blankly. Then, their expression changed. They knew too well what the words' core disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple 'meant. The Iron Buddha Temple was a real big sect. It was much bigger than the Profound Sky Sect. The status of a core disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple was very high. They didn't expect that a core disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple would appear here. This really surprised them.
The two quickly bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Greetings Grandmaster. Grandmaster, please come this way." Then they led Zhao Hai to a courtyard on the side. This courtyard was clearly a place that the Greenmist Sect specially arranged for people to rest. After the two settled Zhao Hai in the courtyard, they asked Zhao Hai to rest. Then they directly went to inform the Daoist.
Qing Lan had been very busy recently, he was even busier than Zhao Hai. After all, they had just acquired a large territory. Although there were houses in the territory, they didn't have anything else. Everything needed to be prepared by themselves. Additionally, there were cities in the territory that needed to be controlled by them. At the same time, they were also busy dealing with the Puppet Sect. Because of this, Qing Lan had been very busy.
While Qing Lan was busy, Xu Ningzi suddenly came in. He bowed to Qing Lan and said, "Master, a disciple from the Jade Mound City came to report that a person who claimed to be a core disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple came to see you."
When Qing Lan heard this, he couldn't help but stare. Then his expression changed as he said, "A core disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple? What does he look like? Can you confirm his identity? "
"It's a monk. A disciple from the Jade Mound City has seen his identity card. He's indeed a disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple. Moreover, he said that he's a core disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple. Master, do you want to see him?"
Qing Lan pondered for a moment before he said, "Why not? Invite him over. I want to see why the Iron Buddha Temple suddenly sent someone over."
Xu Ningzi nodded, then he turned around and left.
