Jie Yiming and the others didn't speak. After some time, Jie Yiming said, "It seems like someone has already entered the maze. I just don't know if it's the Great Sects or someone else."
Zhao Hai replied, "It might not be a Great Sect, but someone else. This is because the marks have been there for some time, at least a few years. From this point of view, there might be another force in the Secret Realm. Moreover, I heard that some people from the Iron Buddha Temple came back from the Secret Realm ahead of time. Moreover, among the people from the Iron Buddha Temple, there was a person with a strange appearance. He didn't look like someone from a Great Sect." Zhao Hai nodded.
Jie Yiming's eyes lit up as he said, "Sect Master Jian, what do you mean?"
Zhao Hai replied, "What I mean is, did the Iron Buddha Temple's people return because of the maze? If so, then this matter will be even more difficult. "
Jie Yiming nodded, then he said, "Then Sect Master Jian, what do you think about this matter?"
Zhao Hai replied, "My opinion is actually very simple. We should cooperate with the other Great Sects. We certainly can't take this maze by ourselves. If there are other forces in the Mystic Realm, then they would certainly regard this maze as their own. Because of this, I think that we don't have the ability to take this maze by ourselves. Even if we do, the other Great Sects would know about it later on. When that time comes, it would be even more troublesome. Therefore, I think that we should cooperate with the other Great Sects. We can't be too greedy, a lot of people have died because of greed. We can't be too greedy, we can't be too greedy, we can't be too greedy, we can't monopolize all the benefits, that's not good."
Jie Yiming nodded, then he said, "What you said makes sense. However, I'll have to go back and discuss this matter with the others. Daoist Priest, what do you think?"
Daoist Priest Fierce Tiger didn't speak. Now that Jie Yiming asked him, he opened his mouth and said, "I also think so. This matter is very important. We should go back and discuss it with the other Sects before making a decision."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Alright, but it's best if you hurry up. The people from the Iron Buddha Temple came back a few days earlier than the people from the Sword Imperial Sect. If they found out about the maze, then I'm afraid they would have already made their move. If they really do, then we wouldn't be able to do anything."
Daoist Priest Fierce Tiger and Jie Yiming nodded. Then the two stood up and walked out. It can be seen that they were anxious and wanted to go back and discuss this matter.
Zhao Hai watched the two leave, then he turned to the others and said, "Everyone should go back first. Our opinion isn't like this, and there won't be any changes. Let's wait for the 72 Islands and the Profound Sky Sect's decision. If they don't agree to cooperate with the Great Sects, then we'll accompany them. After all, we're in the same alliance. But we need to express our thoughts. At the same time, I think that we should send less people to participate, otherwise we might get into trouble. If they agree to cooperate with the Great Sects, then we can cooperate with them.
What do you think? "Everyone nodded. Then Hai Stone said," We'll follow the Alliance Lord's decision. After all this time, we've trusted the Alliance Lord's ability. If it weren't for you, the Sea Exploring Alliance wouldn't be where it is today. The decisions that the Alliance Lord made before were all in line with the interests of the Sea Exploring Alliance. I believe that this time won't be an exception. "
The others nodded. They also believed in Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai looked at them and nodded, "Alright, since everyone trusts me, then I'll take charge of this matter. Rest assured, I'll give everyone a satisfactory answer." Then Zhao Hai sent them off.
After sending off these people, Zhao Hai returned to his room and couldn't help but let out a long breath. Looking at Hai Stone and the others' situation, his efforts weren't in vain. Hai Stone and the others now regard him as their leader. This was a good thing. If Hai Stone and the others continue to trust him, then his influence would slowly increase. In the end, the entire Exploration Sea Alliance would be under his control. When that time comes, he would be able to take over the entire alliance's territory without shedding a single drop of blood. This would be considered a success.
After returning to the Jianyu Sect, Zhao Hai had them make some preparations to prevent this matter from being leaked and causing a commotion. Now, he was waiting for the Profound Sky Sect and the Seventy-two Oceanic Islands to give him a reply.
The Profound Sky Sect and the Seventy-two Oceanic Islands didn't make him wait for too long. The next day, the Profound Sky Sect and the Seventy-two Oceanic Islands gave their reply. The people from the Profound Sky Sect and the Seventy-two Oceanic Islands were still Jie Yiming and Daoist Priest Fierce Tiger. Their opinions weren't out of Zhao Hai's expectations. This was because whether it was the Seventy-two Oceanic Islands or the Profound Sky Sect, they didn't want to have a conflict with the Great Sects. Therefore, they wanted to cooperate with the Great Sects. However, this cooperation required a representative. The Profound Sky Sect and the Seventy-two Oceanic Islands thought that Zhao Hai would be the most suitable representative. Moreover, Jie Yiming and Daoist Priest Fierce Tiger would assist him from the side.
Zhao Hai didn't object to this mission at all. He also accepted the mission. Then he discussed with Jie Yiming about how to contact the Great Sects. Jie Yiming and the others suggested that they should first contact the Great Sects like the Tianyi Sect and the Myriad Buddha Temple to see their opinions.
Zhao Hai didn't want to contact the Tianyi Sect first. Instead, he wanted to contact the Iron Buddha Temple first. This was because he was very clear that the Iron Buddha Temple knew about the maze. After contacting them, the Iron Buddha Temple and the other Great Sects would be able to show their importance.
At this time, the Iron Buddha Temple still hasn't contacted the Great Sects and didn't tell them about the maze. If they contacted the Iron Buddha Temple at this time, they would be able to form an alliance with the Iron Buddha Temple.
In the end, Jie Yiming and Daoist Priest Fierce Tiger listened to Zhao Hai. This was because Zhao Hai was in charge of this mission. Therefore, it was better for them to listen to Zhao Hai. Seeing the two agree, Zhao Hai immediately sent people to contact the Iron Buddha Temple and prepared to pay them a visit.
When the people from the Iron Buddha Temple heard that Zhao Hai wanted to pay them a visit, they were stunned. However, they still agreed. After all, Zhao Hai's status wasn't ordinary. They couldn't neglect him. After all, their sect had business in the Jianyu Sect's territory.
When the people from the Iron Buddha Temple agreed, Zhao Hai led Jie Yiming and Daoist Priest Fierce Tiger, as well as several people from the Jianyu Sect. Along with the experts from the Profound Sky Sect and the Seventy-two Islands, a total of 100 people directly sat on the transmission formation and arrived at the Iron Buddha Temple's territory.
However, they didn't directly enter the Iron Buddha Temple. After all, they didn't have any interactions with the Iron Buddha Temple. This was their first visit to the Iron Buddha Temple. Therefore, they had to wait for the people from the Iron Buddha Temple to come and pick them up. This time, they were visiting the Iron Buddha Temple. It wasn't like the last time when they were in the Profound Sky Sect and the Seventy-two Islands.
When the people from the Iron Buddha Temple knew that Zhao Hai and the others had arrived, they immediately sent people to greet them. This time, the person who came to greet Zhao Hai and the others wasn't low in status. He was a Senior Monk of the Iron Buddha Temple, Wu Zui.
Wu Zui was in the Iron Buddha Temple. Therefore, he was in charge of the Abstinence Hall. His status in the Iron Buddha Temple was very high. Although outsiders didn't know his identity, he was from the Wu Generation. Therefore, the Iron Buddha Temple attached great importance to Zhao Hai and the others' visit.
Wu Zui directly welcomed Zhao Hai and the others into the Iron Buddha Temple. Then he directly invited them to the Great Strength Hall of the Iron Buddha Temple to see Abbot Wu Yu.
This time, only Zhao Hai, Jie Yiming, and Daoist Priest Fierce Tiger came to visit Abbot Wu Yu. When the three entered the Great Strength Hall, Abbot Wu Yu was waiting for them. Upon seeing the three, Abbot Wu Yu couldn't help but faintly smile. Then he clasped his hands and bowed to Zhao Hai and Jie Yiming, "This Monk Wu Yu greets the three Dao Friends."
Zhao Hai and the others quickly returned the greeting. Although the Iron Buddha Temple wasn't a Great Sect, it was still very powerful. Therefore, they didn't dare to be rude to Wu Yu.
After the greetings, Abbot Wu Yu invited them to sit down. After the group sat down, Wu Yu looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, "I didn't expect Sect Master Jian to come to my Iron Buddha Temple. Our Iron Buddha Temple was the first to contact Sect Master Jian and set up a shop in the free trade zone. Our cooperation with the Imperial Sword Sect has always been very pleasant. Today, we're able to see Sect Master Jian."
Zhao Hai quickly replied, "Wu Yu is too polite. It's our honor to participate in the Iron Buddha Temple's cooperation. I'm really ashamed of my visit this time. I ask the Abbot to forgive me."
"Sect Master Jian is too polite. Island Lord Jie, my Iron Buddha Temple and Spirit Crab Island didn't have much contact before. I hope that we can cooperate more in the future. This Poor Monk has also heard of Daoist Fierce Tiger's fame. For everyone to come to my Iron Buddha Temple today, I'm very happy."
The two quickly became polite. Zhao Hai looked at Abbot Wu Yu and said, "Abbot Wu Yu, I don't like to beat around the bush. This time, we came here mainly to ask why the people of the Iron Buddha Temple came out of the Secret Territory first. Did they find something in the Secret Territory? Of course, we didn't come here to question the Abbot. It's because we also found something in the Secret Territory. We want to confirm with the Abbot whether or not we found the same thing. "
When Wu Yu heard Zhao Hai, his eyes flashed with a cold light. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master Jian seems to think that our Iron Buddha Temple found something in the Secret Territory. How can Sect Master Jian be so sure? "
Zhao Hai replied, "I'm not sure. But in the Secret Territory, generally, people who go in will come out after three months. Three months is a cycle. But this time, the Iron Buddha Temple came out early. Does this mean that the Iron Buddha Temple came out early because they found something in the Secret Territory? Coincidentally, some time ago, the disciples of my Jianyu Sect also found something, so they came back early. This matter isn't something that our Jianyu Sect, the Sea Exploring Alliance, and even our South Sea Alliance can't do it. Therefore, we came here today. If we're talking about the same thing, then we can cooperate. But if we cooperate, then we can negotiate better terms with the Great Sects. What does the Abbot think?"
Zhao Hai said, "It seems that Sect Master Jian knows what our Iron Buddha Temple knows? How can Sect Master Jian be so sure? "
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. If the thing that the Iron Buddha Temple found isn't the same, then we can exchange information. This would be beneficial to both of us, wouldn't it?"
Wu Yu looked at Zhao Hai and said, "I don't know if Sect Master Jian can tell me what you found first?" Upon hearing Wu Yu, Jie Yiming and Fierce Tiger's complexion changed. Wu Yu's request was a bit excessive. At this point, they didn't know each other's details. If Zhao Hai revealed the secret he knew and Wu Yu didn't, then they would suffer a loss. Because of this, the two's complexions turned ugly.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I believe in Grandmaster. Grandmaster is a monk, and monks don't lie. Moreover, if we know the same place, then there's no need for Grandmaster to hide it. However, it's a bit unreasonable for me to say it alone. Grandmaster, it's better to take out two pieces of paper. We'll write down the secret we know on the paper and then take it out together. What do you think?"
Wu Yu looked at Zhao Hai and nodded, "Alright, then we'll do as Sect Master Jian says. Come, bring me a pen and paper." Outside the door, a young Buddhist monk immediately responded and brought the pen and paper.
Zhao Hai and Wu Yu turned around. Each of them only wrote two words on the paper. Then the two turned around and slowly opened the paper. They saw the same word written on the two pieces of paper, "Labyrinth".
Upon seeing the words on the two pieces of paper, Zhao Hai and Wu Yu couldn't help but laugh. Wu Yu looked at Zhao Hai and said, "I've often heard that Sect Master Jian's wisdom is unparalleled. I've never had the chance to meet you. Today, I've finally met you. Sure enough, your reputation is well-deserved. I didn't expect that a disciple of the Jianyu Sect would also discover this labyrinth. I just don't know if the labyrinth discovered by the Jianyu Sect is the same as the labyrinth I discovered."
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "In the depths of this labyrinth, there's a big tree that serves as the activation point of the transmission array. After going underground, it's pitch black. There are some demon beasts inside that will attack anyone who goes underground. Several disciples of my Jianyu Sect died inside. Moreover, there are traces of people who have been inside. Looking at those traces, I don't know if I'm right?"
"Yes, Sect Master Jian is right. The disciples of the Jianyu Sect are very lucky to be able to come out alive. It seems like we're talking about the same place. I won't hide it from you. Our Iron Buddha Temple's disciples discovered the labyrinth, so they came back early. The reason why the Jianyu Sect was attacked was because they used light magic in the labyrinth, right? As long as the demon beasts there discover light magic, they will attack with all their strength. "
Zhao Hai suddenly realized something and said, "So that's how it is. They really did use light magic to illuminate the place. It seems like the Iron Buddha Temple knows more than us."
