After arriving at the branch, Zhao Hai immediately turned to Che Xiaoguang and said, "Xiaoguang, go and invite the representatives of the various sects here. I have something to discuss with them." Che Xiaoguang nodded and said, "Xiaoguang, go and invite the representatives of the various sects here.
Although Che Xiaoguang did not know what Zhao Hai wanted to do, he still complied and went to invite the representatives. Truth be told, the Jianyu Sect still possessed some face in this place. The people from the various sects all gave the Jianyu Sect face. That was because, no matter what, they were currently in the Jianyu Sect's territory. As such, they still had to give the Jianyu Sect face.
Not long after, the people from the Cyanwood Mountain's Chamber of Commerce all arrived at the Jianyu Sect's branch hall. These people could also be said to be the representatives of the various sects. The Righteous path's Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, Heavenly Dao Sect, Solitary Tranquility Dao Sect, Iron Buddha Temple and so on. The representatives from the Southern Sea's Seventy-two Islands and even the representatives from the Demon Domain had all arrived. Among them, there were even people from the Poison Dragon Sect.
The gathering of the Righteous and Demonic Sects was a rare sight. However, regardless of whether they were from the Righteous or Demonic Sects, they all knew very well that if they wanted to do business properly in the Cyanwood Mountain, they must join this Chamber of Commerce and obtain a portion of the authority. Only then would they be able to do business properly.
These people were all sitting in the main hall of the Jianyu Sect's branch hall. Some of them were greeting people that they were familiar with. Everyone was inquiring as to why the Jianyu Sect had called them here.
Although these people were all representatives of the various sects, they were still extremely respectful toward the management of their respective sects. This was also the rule that had always been in place. It was just like the shops that the large sects opened in other sects. If they opened their shops there, they would have to accept the management of that sect. If they did not accept the management of that sect, then that sect would not allow them to open a shop in their territory. This was something that all sects had to respect. Otherwise, if a large sect were to open a shop in another sect's territory and refuse to accept the management of that sect, wouldn't that mean that they would be able to run amok in that sect's territory? Likely, no sect would agree to this. That was because no one would wish for a power that was not under their management to appear in their own territory. Wouldn't that be akin to a country within a country? No one would agree.
In fact, in the beginning, the Great Sects didn't need to listen to the management of other Sects. But later on, several Sects had conflicts with the Great Sects because of this matter. In the end, several small Sects were destroyed. This matter made the entire Sword Spirit Realm feel that something was wrong. This was especially true for the small and medium Sects. In their opinion, this was a method used by the Great Sects to expand. Because of this, the small and medium Sects joined forces and closed all of the Great Sects' shops and drove everyone away.
Naturally, the people from the Great Sects didn't want to suffer such a loss. They prepared to move against the small and medium Sects, but the small and medium Sects didn't give the Great Sects any face. In the end, the two sides fought. Although the Great Sects were strong, the small and medium Sects were also very strong when they joined forces. In the end, the Great Sects had no choice but to admit defeat. They agreed that all of their shops in the territories of the other Sects would be managed by the other Sects. Since then, this matter naturally became a rule.
Although the various sects were much bigger than the Jianyu Sect, they still had to obey the management of the Jianyu Sect. Moreover, the people that the sects sent to the Jianyu Sect to do business were people who were very good at business. Although these people had the arrogance of a Great Sect, in the end, they were still businessmen. They paid attention to harmony and wealth. They weren't like the ordinary disciples who thought that they were superior to the disciples of the smaller sects. They didn't put the disciples of the smaller sects in their eyes. They were very clear that if you don't have a good relationship with the other party when doing business in the other party's territory, then the other party would have ways to deal with you. Therefore, they didn't have any arrogance and were very obedient to the management.
Because of this, when Che Xiaoguang summoned these people, they immediately came. They didn't believe that the Sword Spirit Sect would dare to do anything to them. Although they obeyed the management of the Sword Spirit Sect, if the Sword Spirit Sect dared to do anything to them, then the Sects behind them wouldn't be polite. Obeying management didn't mean that they would swallow their anger and allow themselves to be bullied. In fact, nobody would dare to bully them.
At this time, Zhao Hai entered the hall. The people in the hall looked at Zhao Hai with puzzled expressions. Many of them hadn't seen Zhao Hai before, so they didn't know about his identity. Therefore, they looked at Zhao Hai curiously, secretly guessing about Zhao Hai's identity.
After Zhao Hai entered the hall, he looked at the people in the hall. It must be said that the Chamber of Commerce that he established had a lot of members. There were more than 60 people, all of whom were representatives of Great Sects. Any one of them was an existence that the Sword Spirit Sect wouldn't dare to offend.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't afraid of them at all. He cupped his fist and said, "Greetings, everyone. I'm the Sword Spirit Sect's Sect Master, Jianjiu. Greetings to everyone."
When the people in the room heard Zhao Hai's introduction, they couldn't help but stare. They didn't think that Zhao Hai was the Sword Spirit Sect's Sect Master. These people had discerning eyes. Naturally, they could see that Zhao Hai's strength was only at the Spirit Refining Realm. With such strength, he could only be an inner disciple in an ordinary sect. He wasn't even qualified to be a core disciple, let alone becoming a Sect Master. Because of this reason, these people didn't think that Zhao Hai would be the Sword Spirit Sect's Sect Master.
However, they were also old foxes who had been in Jianghu for many years. When they heard Zhao Hai, they immediately stood up and said, "Greetings, Sword Spirit Sect's Sect Master."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Everyone is too polite. This time, I called you here because I have something that I need your help with. This matter is of great importance, so I hope that you can lend a helping hand to me."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Then, they looked at each other. They really didn't know how to reply to Zhao Hai. One must know that they were not only representing themselves, but also their sects. They couldn't just casually agree to help. If they agreed, it would mean that the two sects had formed an alliance. That was a big deal.
When Zhao Hai saw their expressions, he knew what they were thinking. He smiled at them and said, "Everyone, the matter is like this. Just now, I received news that the Qinglan Sect's Sect Master, Daoist Qing Lan, and his five most favored disciples have all been poisoned to death. Now, the Qinglan Sect is in chaos. Because I have always been on good terms with the Qinglan Sect, I naturally want to go there and help. However, I'm not skilled enough and didn't find out what poison they were poisoned with. So, I have no choice but to come and ask for your help. I wonder if everyone is willing to go to the Qinglan Sect to identify the poison?"
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, everyone in the room was stunned. Then, their faces were filled with shock. One must know that Daoist Qing Lan was the Sect Master and the leader of the Sea Exploring Alliance. However, he was poisoned to death silently. This was too strange. Most importantly, the other party even poisoned his five most favored disciples to death. This matter was even more complicated.
When everyone came back to their senses, their gazes involuntarily turned to the representative of the Poison Dragon Sect. The representative of the Poison Dragon Sect was a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked a little thin, but the feeling he gave off was very good. There was a gentle and elegant feeling on his body.
When that person saw everyone's expression, he couldn't help but snort coldly and said in a deep voice, "It wasn't us. Is a mere Qinglan Sect worthy of us using such means? Sect Master Jian, did you see any signs of poisoning on their corpses? "
Zhao Hai replied, "Yes, their corpses don't have any special characteristics on the surface. But there are some small black skulls on their fingernails and toenails. Apart from these, there are no other special characteristics." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes. Their corpses don't have any special characteristics. Their fingernails and toenails have small black skulls.
The representative of the Poison Dragon Sect frowned and looked at Zhao Hai with some confusion. He said in a deep voice, "Skulls on fingernails? What kind of poison is this? I've never heard of it. I wonder if I can take a look at the bodies myself? "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I've invited everyone today to take a look at what kind of poison it is. If we can find out what kind of poison it is, it will be very beneficial for us to track down the culprit. If we can't find out what kind of poison it is, then I'm afraid that the entire buffer zone will be in danger."
Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, please move to the transmission formation. Let's go take a look together. What do you think?"
Everyone nodded and agreed to Zhao Hai's proposal. They also wanted to know what kind of poison Zhao Hai was talking about. If they couldn't find out what kind of poison it was, then not only would the Qinglan Sect be in danger, but the people of the other sects would also be in danger.
Although they were people from various large sects, they truly did not have any good methods to deal with poison. This was especially true for a new kind of poison, a new kind of poison that could threaten Void Refinement realm cultivators. It was even more dangerous. If it could even threaten Void Refinement realm cultivators, then it would mean that it could threaten the majority of the cultivators in the Sword Spirit World. This was truly too dangerous. It was precisely because of this that they were extremely concerned about this matter.
Zhao Hai led everyone to the transmission formation. Then, he directly activated the transmission formation and brought everyone to the Qinglan Sect. When they arrived at the Qinglan Sect, they discovered that the Qinglan Sect's security was even tighter than before. Xu Yanzi walked over and bowed to Zhao Hai. He said, "I pay my respects to Sectmaster Jian and everyone else."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "There's no need for you to be this courteous. These are the representatives from the various sects in the Cyanwood Mountain. I've invited them to take a look at the bodies of the Daoist and the others. I hope that they can find out what kind of poison they were poisoned with.
Lead the way, "Xu Yanzi answered. Then, he clasped his fist to the crowd and said," I'll have to trouble you all. Everyone, please. "After he finished saying those words, he led everyone toward the Qinglan Sect's palace hall.
