Duan Zhong brought Zhao Hai and the others to a large courtyard. This large courtyard was clearly prepared for them. There were servants in the courtyard, and the courtyard was very large, enough for them to live in.
After sending Zhao Hai and the others to the courtyard, Duan Zhong said to Zhao Hai in a deep voice, "Sect Master Jian, the Island Lord will host a banquet to entertain you tonight. Please be sure to attend." Zhao Hai nodded. Duan Zhong cupped his fists towards him, then turned around and left.
Zhao Hai didn't mind. As usual, he held a small meeting with everyone, telling them to be careful. If their enmity with the Profound Sky Sect and the Mysterious Sword Sect wasn't very big, then their enmity with the 72 Southern Sea Islands was very big. At that time, the 72 Southern Sea Islands were in a state of paralysis. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but their economic losses were also very heavy. After that, Zhao Hai, the Profound Sky Sect, and the Mysterious Sword Sect schemed against the 72 Southern Sea Islands, causing them to lose tens of thousands of people. It can be said that the enmity between the two sides was even greater. Because of this, the enmity between the two sides was even greater. Therefore, at this time, they had to be even more careful in the 72 Southern Sea Islands.
Very quickly, a day passed. At night, Duan Zhong came to invite Zhao Hai to a banquet. Zhao Hai brought ten people to the banquet. These ten people were all elites of various sects. Of course, Ding Chunming was also among them.
However, Zhao Hai and the others had dealt with the Spirit Crab Island before. He was afraid that someone from the Spirit Crab Island would pay attention to Ding Chunming. Therefore, he had Ding Chunming change his appearance. In addition, Ding Chunming had already changed his weapon, so he wasn't afraid that the people from the Spirit Crab Island would recognize him.
When Zhao Hai and the others arrived at the main hall of the island, there was a group of people waiting for them in front of the main hall. The leader was a man who looked to be in his forties. He wore a scholar's robe and had a smile on his face. He looked like a gentle scholar. He was standing in front of the main hall, waiting for them.
Duan Zhong led Zhao Hai to that person, and then he cupped his fists and said, "Island Lord, Sect Master Jian is here."
The Island Master of Spirit Crab Island nodded and cupped his fists at Zhao Hai, "Greetings, Sect Master Jian. I'm the Island Master of Spirit Crab Island, Jie Yiming.
Zhao Hai hurriedly returned the gesture, saying, "You're too kind, Island Lord Jie. Saber9 is too courteous. I wouldn't dare trouble Island Lord Jie to come out of the camp personally. I don't deserve this."
Jie Yiming smiled faintly and said, "Of course, of course. Sect Master Jian, please come in." After saying that, he turned and led Zhao Hai into the main hall.
When they entered the main hall, they saw that the seats had already been set up. Zhao Hai, Jie Yiming, and some other higher-ups of Spirit Crab Island were seated in their respective host and guest seats. Although Zhao Hai had contact with people from Spirit Crab Island when he was in Tideview City, he only came into contact with the disciples of Spirit Crab Island. He didn't come into contact with any of the higher-ups of Spirit Crab Island. This was because his status at that time wasn't qualified to come into contact with them.
After everyone sat down, Jie Yiming raised the wine cup in front of him and toasted Zhao Hai, "Welcome to Spirit Crab Island, Sect Master Jian. On behalf of all the disciples of Spirit Crab Island, I welcome Sect Master Jian. Let us all toast Sect Master Jian. Please."
Zhao Hai also raised his wine cup and said to Jie Yiming, "Thank you, Island Lord Jie. Please!" Everyone downed the wine in their cups.
After putting down the wine, Jie Yiming looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Previously, our Seventy-two Islands had some disagreements with the Exploration Sea Alliance. However, that's not important. Sect Master Jian, please don't take it to heart. Now, our Spirit Crab Island has also set up shop in the free trade zone. I hope Sect Master Jian will take care of us in the future."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Island Lord Jie is too polite. You can set up shop in the free trade zone because you think highly of me. Naturally, I will take care of you. Please rest assured, Island Lord Jie."
"Good. Sect Master Jian is really forthright. Come, let's have another drink." Everyone raised their cups and downed the wine in one gulp.
Zhao Hai was now somewhat uncertain about Jie Yiming's thoughts. He didn't know what Jie Yiming wanted to do. Since they had a grudge, Jie Yiming shouldn't have a good impression of them. But now, Jie Yiming didn't show it. He just calmly invited Zhao Hai to drink. Moreover, from beginning to end, Jie Yiming's expression didn't change. Jie Yiming was always smiling, as if he was very happy about their arrival. However, Zhao Hai didn't believe that Jie Yiming was really welcoming his arrival. At this point, Zhao Hai already knew that Jie Yiming was a smiling tiger. He had to be careful.
After drinking another cup of wine, Jie Yiming looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master Jian, you should also try our Spirit Crab Island's specialty. Our island doesn't only have stone crabs that can fight, we also have a lot of small crabs that can be eaten. These small crabs taste very good, they can even compare to the pills of ordinary sects. Come, have a taste." While speaking, Jie Yiming pointed at a plate of crabs on the table.
This plate of crabs wasn't very big, but they looked very fat. They were already cooked and looked very red. They looked very beautiful.
Zhao Hai wasn't polite and ate the crabs. The taste of the crabs was very good. Zhao Hai also ate a crab. Then he nodded and gave Jie Yiming a thumbs-up and said, "Good taste, it's really good."
Jie Yiming smiled faintly, then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Come, let's drink. Drinking wine is boring, let's have a little performance." Then he clapped his hands. Then a group of Cultivators came in from outside the hall. These Cultivators were all from the Spirit Crab Island. However, they didn't perform singing and dancing, but rather a competition. There were a total of ten people, divided into five groups. They were competing in martial arts. For a time, the hall was filled with sword lights and sword shadows.
Zhao Hai looked at the Cultivators from the Spirit Crab Island. These Cultivators' skills were very good. Each of their martial arts had their own characteristics. This was very good.
After a short while, the ten people left after the winner and loser was decided. Then, another five people came out. These five people came to the main hall, but they didn't compete. Instead, they stood there quietly.
Jie Yiming turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master Jian, how about a friendly competition? You can also send a few disciples to compete with them. What do you think? "
When Zhao Hai heard Jie Yiming, he knew what he was thinking. He nodded and said, "Alright, it's good to compare." Then Zhao Hai picked five people and had them compete with the five Cultivators from the Spirit Crab Island.
After the Cultivators left, the two sides stood face to face. Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Remember, this is only a competition. Don't hurt anyone. If someone hurts someone, then they lose." The ten Cultivators who came with Zhao Hai nodded.
When the Cultivators from the Spirit Crab Island heard Zhao Hai, they were stunned. Then they turned their gaze to Jie Yiming. Jie Yiming smiled and said, "Alright, you should remember as well. Don't hurt anyone." The Cultivators from the Spirit Crab Island nodded.
Looking at the situation, Zhao knew what was going on. Jie Yiming must have told them in advance that they were allowed to hurt people, so when they heard Zhao say that they shouldn't hurt people, they reacted this way. It seems like Jie Yiming was very insidious. Zhao Hai didn't say that they shouldn't hurt people, but he didn't say that they shouldn't hurt people, it seems like Jie Yiming was very insidious.
Both sides soon began to fight, and it was hard to tell who would win. Although the cultivators of the Sea Exploring Alliance were all elites of various sects, the five cultivators of the Spirit Crab Island who appeared in the hall were also elites of the Spirit Crab Island. Both sides really couldn't decide the winner in a short time.
The result of the competition was that the Sea Exploring Alliance's Cultivators won by three to two years. However, both sides didn't hurt anyone. Jie Yiming could scheme against people, but he couldn't openly violate his own words in this kind of situation. Therefore, the Spirit Crab Island's Cultivators didn't hurt anyone.
After the competition, the smile on Jie Yiming's face didn't change. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Everyone from the Sea Exploring Alliance is really strong. I'm full of admiration."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Island Lord Jie is too polite. This is nothing. Island Lord Jie, this time I came to the 72 Southern Sea Islands because I have something to discuss with the Island Lords. I wonder if Island Lord Jie can invite the other Island Lords?"
Zhao Hai wasn't in the mood to grind his teeth with the insidious Jie Yiming. It was meaningless. If Jie Yiming didn't agree, then Zhao Hai would return to the Sword Controlling Sect.
Jie Yiming looked at Zhao Hai and said, "What does the Sword Sect Lord want to discuss with us? Can you tell me first and then I'll tell everyone? "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, of course. Actually, it's not a big deal. We just want to form an alliance with the Southern Sea's 72 Isles. This time, it's not only the Exploration Alliance, but also the Profound Sky Sect's Alliance. I wonder what Island Lord Jie thinks about this." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Of course we can.
When Jie Yiming heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare blankly. Then his expression changed as he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master Jian, you mean that the 72 Southern Sea Islands, the Sea Exploring Alliance, and the Profound Sky Sect Alliance will form an alliance? But why? "
Zhao Hai looked at Jie Yiming and said, "Island Lord Jie has set up a shop in the free trade zone. Then you should know about the rewards in the free trade zone. What does Island Lord Jie think about the free trade zone? "
Jie Yiming stared, he didn't think that Zhao Hai would suddenly ask about the Free Trade Zone. He looked at Zhao Hai with a puzzled expression and said, "The Free Trade Zone is very good. Sects can trade there. Our 72 Islands also benefited a lot from it. Speaking of which, I really have to thank Sect Master Jian. If you didn't establish the Free Trade Zone, then our 72 Islands wouldn't be able to trade so easily." Jie Yiming nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "The Free Trade Zone is very good.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Is what Island Lord Jie said true? Is that all you've seen? "
Jie Yiming's eyes flashed as he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "What does Sect Master Jian mean?"
Zhao Hai looked at Jie Yiming and said, "What does Island Lord Jie think I mean? If Island Lord Jie doesn't think deeper, then just pretend that I didn't say anything."
