"Why do you think Saber9 has come to our sect this time? Why is he here? "
Taoist Master Fierce Tiger sat in his room and asked the people sitting opposite him. These people were Xuanyangzi and the others. Although Taoist Master Fierce Tiger was only an elder of the Black Heaven Sect, he had considerable authority. In addition, he was the one who had fought Zhao Hai and the others previously. He knew Zhao Hai very well, so the Sect Leader of the Black Heaven Sect, Taoist Master Qing Zhanzi, had given them the task of receiving Zhao Hai. Of course, they were only responsible for the initial reception. After all, Zhao Hai still had to meet with Taoist Master Qing Zhanzi. No matter what, Zhao Hai was now the chief of the Queshai Alliance. It was necessary for him to meet with Taoist Master Qing Zhanzi. This was basic courtesy.
However, although Taoist Master Fierce Tiger had already made arrangements for how to receive Zhao Hai, he did not understand why Zhao Hai had suddenly come to the Black Heaven Sect as a diplomatic envoy. He really could not figure it out.
Xuanyangzi thought about it and said in a low voice, "Master's Junior, I think it might be because of the free trade zone. As you know, the free trade zone is full of shops owned by the major sects. This means that the major sects have already extended their hands into the buffer zone. Perhaps Saber9 sensed the danger, which is why he came to us as a diplomatic envoy. I think he wants to join forces with us to suppress those major sects."
"Hmph, if they knew this would happen, they wouldn't have done it in the first place. They shouldn't have made such a fuss about independence back then. Now that they're independent, they've attracted even more terrifying enemies," Xuanyangzi said in a low voice.
"If that's really the case, why don't we give him the cold shoulder and see what he can do?"
Think about it, if we really push him too far, he won't work with us anymore and will instead work with those major sects. The buffer zone might fall into the hands of those major sects in a short period of time. That's not good. Although Saber9 has always wanted to be independent and has been doing so, he's also a very good opportunist. He's always grasping everyone's weaknesses and making decisions that benefit him the most. If those major sects really give him good conditions, he might really give the entire buffer zone to them. "
"What conditions can those major sects give him?"
"They can. If those major sects acknowledge the existence of his sect and agree to give him a bigger piece of land in the Saber Spirit World for him to build his sect, he might really sell the buffer zone. By doing so, not only will he gain a bigger piece of land, but he'll also be able to leave this troublesome place called the buffer zone. Most importantly, he'll be on good terms with those major sects. Do you think he'll agree to that?"
"Based on what you've said, he might really agree to it. From the looks of it, his visit to our Black Heaven Sect this time is actually an overt scheme. He's using us to put pressure on those major sects? At the same time, he's also using those major sects to put pressure on us. He's using this trick again. This fellow used the same trick last time. How despicable. "
"However, the problem now is, even if you know that this is an overt scheme, what can you do about it? An overt scheme means that he's not afraid of you knowing about it. He's using this trick now and there's nothing we can do about it. We can't just watch the buffer zone fall into the hands of those major sects. If the buffer zone really does fall into those major sects' hands, then we're really done for. In the future, there's nothing we can do about the buffer zone and the seventy-two islands in the Southern Sea. Moreover, we might encounter danger ourselves. Therefore, no matter what conditions he proposes now, the most important thing is that we can't let him give the buffer zone to those major sects.
That's the most important thing. "" That's right. This is the purpose of Saber9's visit to us. He knows exactly what we're thinking and that's why he's doing this. However, we still have to see what he's going to say. If he really doesn't want to give the buffer zone to those major sects, he'll definitely say it when he comes to us.
What do you think? "Everyone nodded, thinking that this was a possibility. Taoist Master Fierce Tiger glanced at them and said in a deep voice," I think your guess is very reasonable. Perhaps Saber9 really thinks that way. I'll inform the Sect Leader about this. The Sect Leader hasn't had any direct contact with Saber9 before, so he might not know him very well. We need to remind the Sect Leader to be careful of Saber9. Saber9 has too many tricks up his sleeve.
Zhao Hai really did not know that his current reputation had become like this. However, even if he knew, he would not have cared.
On the third day after Taoist Master Fierce Tiger and the others discussed, Zhao Hai appeared in the Black Heaven Sect's teleportation portal. This time, Zhao Hai brought quite a number of people with him. There were about three hundred of them. These people were all experts from the Sea Exploration Alliance and other sects. Of course, there were also people from the Jianyu Sect.
As soon as they appeared in the teleportation portal, they noticed Taoist Master Fierce Tiger standing outside. Taoist Master Fierce Tiger cupped his fists at Zhao Hai and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader Jian. How have you been?"
Zhao Hai also cupped his fists at Taoist Master Fierce Tiger and said, "Taoist Master Fierce Tiger is too polite. Since we parted, Taoist Master Fierce Tiger is still as good as ever. Congratulations."
The two of them casually exchanged a few pleasantries before Taoist Master Fierce Tiger invited Zhao Hai to the Black Heaven Sect's guest room. This guest room had a very large courtyard that could accommodate all of them. Then, Taoist Master Fierce Tiger told Zhao Hai that the Sect Leader of the Black Heaven Sect would invite him to a banquet in the evening. After that, he left the courtyard.
After Daoist Priest Fierce Tiger left, Zhao Hai called over the representatives of the various sects. This time, the Sect Leader of the Black Sky Sect invited him to a banquet. Zhao Hai planned to bring a few people, but he couldn't bring too many people. He could only bring a few experts. From the Imperial Sword Sect, he only brought Ding Chunming. He also selected a few experts from the other sects to participate in the banquet.
A day passed just like that. Although Zhao Hai's trip to the Black Heaven Sect this time attracted a lot of attention, it actually didn't cause much of a commotion. Everyone was only secretly observing, and no one had any excessive reactions.
When night fell, Zhao Hai led Ding Chunming and the others to the main hall of the Black Heaven Sect. It was also the first time they met the Sect Leader of the Black Heaven Sect, Taoist Master Qing Zhanzi.
Taoist Master Qing Zhanzi looked to be in his sixties. He had a head of silver hair and a very beautiful beard. He really looked like an immortal.
Now, Taoist Master Qing Zhanzi was standing in front of the main hall of the Black Heaven Sect to welcome Zhao Hai. When he saw Zhao Hai walking over, Taoist Master Qing Zhanzi immediately said to Zhao Hai, "Jianjiu Sect greets Taoist Master. Greetings, Taoist Master Qing Zhanzi."
Qing Zhanzi smiled and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader Jian. It's really an honor for Sect Leader Jian to come to the Black Heaven Sect this time. Sir, please."
Zhao Hai also hurriedly said, "Please." After saying that, the two of them walked into the main hall.
A table had already been prepared in the main hall. Some of the elders of the Black Heaven Sect sat in the main hall to accompany them. The few people accompanying Zhao Hai also arranged a table for them. After the guests and the host sat down, Taoist Master Qing Zhanzi picked up his wine glass and raised it at Zhao Hai. "Welcome to the Black Heaven Sect, Sect Leader Jian. Everyone, let's toast to Sect Leader Jian."
The other people of the Black Heaven Sect also picked up their wine glasses and raised them at Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai hurriedly said, "Thank you, everyone. Please." After saying that, he also raised his wine glass. Everyone drank the wine in their glasses together.
After putting down his wine glass, Qing Zhanzi smiled at Zhao Hai and said, "My Black Heaven Sect and the Exploration Sea Alliance have already formed an alliance. It's only right for us to visit each other. This old Taoist was still thinking about when to pay a visit to the Exploration Sea Alliance, but I didn't expect Sect Leader Jian to beat me to it. Hahaha, Sect Leader Jian, you have to come often in the future."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Of course, of course. Our Sea Exploring Alliance and the Mysterious Sky Sect are already allies. It's normal for us to exchange goods and services with each other in the future. Naturally, we'll need to make frequent contact in order to deepen our friendship."
Qing Zhanzi smiled and said, "Well said, Sect Leader Jian. Very well said. We should exchange what we need and deepen our friendship. Come, let's toast to our friendship."
After drinking another glass of wine, Qing Zhanzi didn't stand on ceremony anymore. Instead, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Leader Jian, I wonder if you have something else to discuss with the Black Heaven Sect this time?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly. "There is one thing that I want to discuss with Daoist Priest. You and I are allies, and this matter is related to our alliance. Naturally, I want to discuss it with Daoist Priest."
"Oh? Then I'm all ears. Please go ahead, Sect Master Jian, "Daoist Qing Zhanzi said.
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "Our Exploration Sea Alliance has the most to do with this matter. You should know that all the major sects have set up shops in the free trade zone and the business is booming. Not only our Exploration Sea Alliance, but I believe the Black Heaven Sect has also benefited a lot."
Qing Zhanzi nodded and said, "Indeed. Ever since the shops were set up, it has become more convenient for our Black Heaven Sect to buy anything. In the past, we had to visit each sect one by one to negotiate with them. Now, as long as we go to the free trade zone, we can buy anything. This is really good and convenient for us. That's why the free trade zone was set up well. We really admire your foresight, Sect Leader Jian. You set up this free trade zone when no one was optimistic about it. Now, it has benefited the entire Sword Spirit Boundary.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Daoist Priest is overpraising me. At that time, I really didn't think that the free trade zone would be beneficial to all of us. I didn't think that the free trade zone would become as big as it is today. But today, I came here for the free trade zone." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Daoist Priest is overpraising me.
"Oh? What's going on in the free trade zone? I see that the business in the free trade zone is booming. It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong. " Qing Zhanzi looked at Zhao Hai with a puzzled expression. Zhao Hai knew that he was an old fox, but he didn't care.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Naturally, there are no problems with the free trade zone. This time, I came to find Daoist Priest to talk about how to stabilize the free trade zone." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Naturally, there are no problems with the free trade zone.
