The area of the free market was very large, and the people who set up stalls there were all rogue cultivators. If they wanted to set up a stall in the free market, they would only need to pay one piece of first-class crystal per person per day. This price was very cheap, but there were a lot of people setting up stalls. Moreover, they would only be able to collect one piece of first-class crystal every day. Every little bit makes a mickle. In a month, or even a year, their income would be very impressive.
It took three months for the entire free trade zone to get on track. During these three months, Zhao Hai had been staying in the Jianyu Sect. However, he was here as a representative of the Iron Buddha Temple. Naturally, he was able to see the changes in the free trade zone.
He made this Chamber of Commerce because he found that the free trade zone was a bit unstable. Therefore, he made this Chamber of Commerce and gave the Great Sects a share of the power. This way, the free trade zone would become stable.
Moreover, doing this was equivalent to making the Great Sects behave themselves. This was because the Great Sects began to restrain each other. Nobody could do anything. If one of the Great Sects were to dominate the free trade zone, then it would be very troublesome.
After three months, the free trade zone was stable. However, some people were unhappy, especially Daoist Master Qing Lan. He didn't think that the method he came up with to suppress the Jianyu Sect would turn out to be a good thing. Naturally, this was a good thing for the Jianyu Sect. Although it was good for the Great Sects, it wasn't as good as the Jianyu Sect's benefits.
However, Qing Lan had no other choice. This was because the benefits involved in the free trade zone were too great. Although the free trade zone was established for three months, the Sects had already completed several large transactions. This made the Sects see the benefits of the free trade zone. Naturally, they wouldn't give up on the free trade zone. It can be said that if anyone dares to casually reach out to the free trade zone, then the Great Sects would unite and tear that person to pieces.
Now that the free trade zone was stable, the Tide-watching Sect would also be stable. In addition to sending some disciples to manage the free trade zone, the other disciples would rarely come in contact with the free trade zone. It can be said that the Jianyu Sect was open on the surface, but in fact, they had hidden themselves even deeper.
Now, the number of transactions in the free trade zone every day was huge. This number was very shocking, and it benefited the entire buffer zone. They didn't have to worry about how to trade goods. In fact, the goods that they wanted to trade were nothing in the free trade zone. Qing Lan was the most annoyed about this.
This was what annoyed Qing Lan the most. In the past, he controlled the foreign trade of the entire buffer zone because he had the qualification to trade with the Puppet Sect. Therefore, all the Sects in the Sea Exploring Alliance had to listen to him more or less. But now that the free trade zone was established, the bargaining chip in his hand was useless. All the Sects could trade in the free trade zone. Moreover, all the Sects that traded there would thank the Jianyuzong instead of him. This made him feel that his position as the Alliance Master was somewhat unstable.
Because of this, Qing Lan had a lot of opinions about the Jianyu Sect. Zhao Hai was also aware of this. In fact, he had been monitoring Qing Lan for a long time. Since the last time Qing Lan was about to suppress the Jianyu Sect, Zhao Hai began to monitor him. He wanted to know what Qing Lan would do.
Soon, Zhao Hai knew what Qing Lan wanted to do. Zhao Hai noticed that Qing Lan had been in contact with some people recently. Zhao Hai didn't know the identity of these people at first. But after listening to Qing Lan, Zhao Hai knew that these people were from the Jianyu Sect!
That's right, the people who were in contact with Qing Lan were really from the Jianyu Sect. However, they were from the Jianyu Sect in the past. They weren't from the Tide-watching Faction. These people who were in contact with Qing Lan only had one purpose. They wanted Qing Lan to help them take back the Jianyu Sect.
These people who were in contact with Qing Lan were actually people who had defected from the Jianyu Sect in the past. They had defected from the Jianyu Sect when Liu Jianling was still in power. This was because these people had competed with Liu Jianling for the position of the Sect Lord. Of course, they failed in the end. Liu Jianling wasn't a broad-minded person. When he became the Sect Lord, he naturally wanted to deal with these people. These people also discovered that the situation was not right. They immediately defected from the Jianyu Sect. After escaping from the Jianyu Sect, they concealed their identities and hid. The Jianyu Sect's strength was too small. Naturally, it was impossible for them to find them and they escaped this disaster.
Now these guys appeared again. Moreover, it was the Qinglan Sect who took the initiative to find them. The Qinglan Sect wanted to use these people to deal with Zhao Hai and the others. This was because Zhao Hai and the others had snatched the Jianyu Sect's territory from Liu Jianling's hands. If they really counted, they might not be from the Jianyu Sect.
However, in the Spiritual Sword World, one could snatch someone else's territory. Naturally, no one would care about Zhao Hai. However, Zhao Hai had always been using the Jianyu Sect's cultivation method. This gave others an illusion that Zhao Hai was a member of the Jianyu Sect and not an outsider.
It was precisely because of this idea that Qing Lan saw a little hope. He wanted to gather those people who had escaped from the Jianyu Sect. Then, in the name of these people, he would directly make trouble for Zhao Hai. He would say that Zhao Hai had obtained the Sect Lord's position unreasonably and ask Zhao Hai to give up the Sect Lord's position.
Although this might not be useful because everyone knew that Zhao Hai would not give up the position, they could get the righteous name in their hands. Then, Qing Lan would use his identity as the Alliance Lord to pressure the Jianyu Sect. He could even gather the other Sects to pressure the Jianyu Sect together. If necessary, he could even use force. This was Qing Lan's real goal.
Zhao Hai really didn't expect Qing Lan to be so vicious. One must know that the free trade zone had only been established for three months. Although the Jianyu Sect had been the manager of the free trade zone, because of the short time, the other Sects didn't recognize the Jianyu Sect as the manager. Once something happened to the Jianyu Sect, the Chamber of Commerce in the free trade zone might directly find an excuse to kick the Jianyu Sect out of the free trade zone. Then, the Jianyu Sect would suffer a great loss.
If Zhao Hai were to use force, then the other Great Sects would have an excuse to attack the Sword Imperial Sect. They could even destroy the Sword Imperial Sect and then occupy their territory. This would be equivalent to having a base in the buffer zone. They could then directly attack the 72 Isles. Zhao Hai didn't say anything, he didn't say anything.
But it was clear that Qing Lan didn't think of this. Qing Lan had already lost his mind. He wanted to deal with Zhao Hai wholeheartedly. He didn't think about the consequences of his actions.
After Zhao Hai guessed Qing Lan's actions, he immediately took action. He didn't attack the people from the Jianyu Sect. Instead, he directly attacked Qing Lan. He directly used the Space to poison Qing Lan's food. Not only did he poison Qing Lan to death, he also poisoned Xu Ningzi and the others. Xu Ningzi and the others were orphans that Qing Lan picked up. They were as close as father and son with Qing Lan. Naturally, they were very loyal to Qing Lan. If Qing Lan died and Xu Ningzi and the others didn't, then they would still attack the Jianyu Sect. Therefore, Zhao Hai directly killed all of them.
In the Green Mist Sect, only Green Mist, Xu Ningzi, and the others knew about the true identity of the people who escaped from the Sword Defense Sect. Green Mist was very careful about this matter. He wanted to let as many people know about this matter as possible. If too many people knew about this matter, then it might reach Zhao Hai's ears. Then Zhao Hai would be on guard, and they wouldn't have the opportunity to deal with Zhao Hai. Because of this, when Green Mist met with the people from the Sword Defense Sect, only Xu Ningzi and the others knew about it. This made Zhao Hai's actions more convenient. If he killed Green Mist and the others, then nobody would care about the people from the Sword Defense Sect.
In fact, this matter was much more serious than Zhao Hai imagined. When Qing Lan and the others died, the entire Qinglan Sect was in chaos. Some of the core disciples of the Qinglan Sect had no idea what to do. In the end, they came up with a solution, which was to ask for help from the other lords of the Sea Exploring Alliance. After all, this matter was too big. It could be said that the higher-ups of the Qinglan Sect were all wiped out in one fell swoop. The Qinglan Sect could be said to be a group of dragons without a leader.
Compared to the people of the other sects, the people of Qinglan Sect were more willing to believe in Zhao Hai. Although Qing Lan was very dissatisfied with Zhao Hai and the others recently and was even thinking of ways to deal with Zhao Hai, Qing Lan did not show it. After all, Zhao Hai had helped him before. If outsiders knew that he was plotting to deal with Zhao Hai, his reputation would be ruined. Therefore, the people of Qinglan Sect did not know what Qing Lan was thinking. In their hearts, the people of Jianyu Sect had always been trustworthy because the people of Jianyu Sect had helped them a lot. In addition, if it was not for Zhao Hai, the Sea Exploring Alliance would not have succeeded alone. Therefore, when the people of Qinglan Sect found out that Qing Lan and the others were in trouble, the first thing they thought of was Zhao Hai. They immediately sent a letter to Zhao Hai.
This time, Zhao Hai directly led Ding Chunming, Tie Niu, and Tie She to Qinglan Sect. As soon as they appeared in the transmission array, a disciple of Qinglan Sect immediately came to greet them. Zhao Hai also recognized that this disciple was a core disciple of Qinglan Sect. His Daoist name was Xu Yanzi.
Xu Yanzi stepped forward and bowed to Zhao Hai. He said with a dignified face, "Sect Master Jian, you are here. This time, we really have no choice but to send you a message. Something big has happened in Qinglan Sect."
The reason why Xu Yanzi said this was because in the letter to Zhao Hai, they did not mention what had happened in Qinglan Sect. They only said that something big had happened in Qinglan Sect and asked Zhao Hai to come over.
Zhao Hai certainly knew what was going on, but he still pretended not to know and came over.
