Looking at Jie Yiming's back, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile. Then, he turned to Daoist Master Fierce Tiger and said, "It seems that Jie Yiming is more anxious than us."
"Of course, of course he's anxious. This is a matter of life and death in the South Sea. How can he not be more anxious than us? Sect Master Jian, what do you think they will choose?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly. "It's very simple. They will certainly agree. If they don't agree, then we don't need to care about them. After all, this is clearly courting death. We can't accompany them." Zhao Hai smiled faintly.
Daoist Master Ferocious Tiger nodded and sighed. "I'm a bit worried. Among the seventy-two islands, people like Island Master Jie Yiming are actually in the minority. Many of the island masters don't take the sects of the Sword Spirit Boundary seriously. In fact, the Sea Exploration Sect and the seventy-two islands worked together to deal with us. Later on, the seventy-two islands betrayed us. All of this was caused by those people, so it's reasonable for them to make decisions that they shouldn't have."
"The situation is different this time. This time, they are facing all the sects in the Sword Spirit Boundary, such as Buddhism, Profound Sect, Sword Sect, and Devil Sect. If the 72 Islands still want to go against them, then they are really idiots."
"That's right. This time, their enemy is too strong. Just like last time, the Million Buddhist Sect was annihilated easily. If the 72 Islands of the South Sea were to fight against the Million Sword Sect, it would be impossible for the Million Sword Sect to annihilate the 72 Islands of the South Sea, but it would be possible for them to inflict heavy losses. Of course, the Million Sword Sect would not have an easy time."
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "Let's not care about them. No matter what they choose, we don't need to care about them. If they really make the wrong choice, then we don't have to be polite."
Daoist Tiger nodded and let out a long sigh. "To be honest, Sect Master Jian, I'm really surprised that you're able to inform the 72 Islands of the South Sea. They've betrayed us this time. They didn't even tell us about such a good thing and wanted to take all the benefits for themselves. They really aren't loyal enough."
"Haha, that's too much. We are just allies. They don't need to inform us if there are benefits. Just like us, would we inform them if there are benefits? After all, we are not from the same sect. are not even as close as the Sea Exploring Sect. So it's right that they didn't tell us. There's no need to bicker with them. "
"Sect Master Jian is really broad-minded. When our Sect Master heard the news, he was furious. But for the sake of the overall situation, he agreed to your proposal."
"Yes, it's for the overall situation. I'm also doing it for the overall situation. Otherwise, I can use this matter as an excuse to fall out with the 72 Islands of the South Sea. But now, the three of us have to face all the major sects of the Sword Spirit Boundary. Although they haven't joined forces to deal with us, if our alliance is broken, then the major sects may seize the opportunity to reach the South Sea. At that time, even if we beat them back, I'm afraid we will have to pay a high price."
"Now, let's wait for their news. If they are really prepared to go against the major sects, then we will definitely not participate. The overall situation is very important. But if we go against the major sects at this time, then it is equivalent to going against the Sword Spirit Boundary. We will definitely not do it."
"I won't either. If the major sects want to extend their hands to the South Sea, the benefits are too great. Moreover, they will encounter the desperate resistance of the three of us. Different from the current situation, the major sects won't kick us out this time. They just want to divide most of the benefits. There are too many good things in Sky City. We really can't eat them all."
"Well, Sect Master Jian, then I will go and rest first. I don't think Jie Yiming will be back too soon. The number of people in the South Sea's Seventy-two Islands Alliance is more than the number of people in the Sea Exploring Alliance. Moreover, it is very difficult for them to find a leader now. It seems like this matter can be discussed."
"There's no need to rush. Anyway, all the major sects are now discussing a plan. By the time they're done, I think the seventy-two islands in the South China Sea should be done as well. If they're still not done by the time the major sects take action, then they're really courting death. We can't help them."
Taoist Master Fierce Tiger nodded and cupped his fists at Zhao Hai before turning and leaving. Zhao Hai looked at Taoist Master Fierce Tiger's back and smiled slightly. He murmured, "How interesting. The Black Heaven Sect has no confidence in the Seventy-two Islands Alliance. How interesting."
Three days after Jie Yiming returned to the Seventy-two Islands Alliance, news came from the Sword Spirit World that the ruins of Sky City had been discovered in the South Sea. This Sky City was related to the history of the entire Sword Spirit World. Therefore, all the major sects in the Sword Spirit World hoped that the Seventy-two Islands Alliance would make Sky City public so that all the sects in the Sword Spirit World could excavate it.
The Seventy-two Islands of the South Sea were just as Taoist Master Fierce Tiger had said. They still hadn't made a decision within three days, which made people not know whether to laugh or cry.
After this news spread, the Seventy-two Islands Alliance finally couldn't sit still. Two days after the news spread, Jie Yiming came to the Sea Exploring Sect again. Zhao Hai invited him to the study and also invited Taoist Master Fierce Tiger. After the three of them sat down, Zhao Hai looked at Jie Yiming and said, "Island Lord Jie, you seem to be very tired. However, I still have to say a few words. It's really not right for you to wait so long to make a decision. "
Jie Yiming looked at Zhao Hai and wryly smiled. Then he said, "Sect Master Jian, you're overestimating us. In fact, we still haven't made a decision."
"What? Still haven't made a decision? The news from the major sects is actually a warning. Next, they will send people to the Seventy-two Islands Alliance. I think they will send people to the Seventy-two Islands Alliance in the next two days. You still haven't made a decision? Is it that hard to make a decision? Giving up the majority of the benefits and getting a part of it is already very good. After all, what you're facing now is the entire Sword Spirit World. What's wrong with giving up some things when necessary? "
"You're right, there's nothing wrong with giving up some things. I also agree with giving up some things. However, some people don't agree. They want to use a tough attitude to face the major sects. They want to use the geographical advantage of the South Sea to contend with the major sects. They're determined not to give up Sky City's ruins."
"Are they crazy? Do they think they're stronger than the Myriad Sword Sect? Are they still thinking that while fighting with the major sects, they'll send their disciples to attack the sects' branches and force them to retreat? It's not that the Myriad Sword Sect didn't think of using this trick, but it didn't work at all. "
"I dared to say this to them, but they also said that our Seventy-two Islands Alliance have geographical advantage. The Myriad Sword Sect only has one sect. If the sect is attacked, the disciples of the Myriad Sword Sect will have to retreat. But we're different. We have seventy-two islands, and they're very far apart. We can give up some of the islands and continue to contend with the major sects. As long as the major sects retreat, we'll win."
"What about you? What's your opinion?" Zhao Hai looked at Jie Yiming. He didn't know what to say. The arrogance and stupidity of the Island Masters of the Seventy-two Islands Alliance had exceeded his imagination.
Jie Yiming looked at Zhao Hai and smiled bitterly, "What can I do? Of course, I won't agree. But no one will listen to my opinion. What's the use of me saying it?"
Zhao Hai looked at Jie Yiming and said in a deep voice, "No one will listen to your opinion, but you have to think about the Spirit Crab Island. Island Master Jie, I'll say something unpleasant. The islands that the Island Masters are preparing to give up, does that include your Spirit Crab Island? Once the major sects attack you, the Spirit Crab Island will bear the brunt. You won't be able to resist and will have to give up. But what happens after you give up? What will you do? Live under someone else's roof? Also, do the major sects really want to destroy the Seventy-two Islands Alliance? No, they want the ruins of the Sky City. If they fight the Spirit Crab Island, they can go and excavate the ruins of the Sky City. But what about you? You won't be able to get anything. With the character of the major sects, if they get the Spirit Crab Island, will they return it to you? At that time, with the Spirit Crab Island as a bridgehead, they can go all out to attack the Seventy-two Islands Alliance. Our Profound Heaven Sect and Sea Sect will be safe because what the major sects want the most is the Seventy-two Islands Alliance, not our Profound Heaven Sect and Sea Exploring Sect. When the time comes, what will happen to your Spirit Crab Island? Island Master Jie, you and I have known each other for a long time. I treat you as a friend, that's why I'm telling you this. Think about it carefully. The Seventy-two Islands Alliance is a whole. But if you're the only one sacrificed in this whole alliance, and you can't protect the interests of the Seventy-two Islands Alliance, then is your sacrifice worth it? This matter can be resolved satisfactorily. If the Seventy-two Islands Alliance has made such a decision, then I have no other choice. I'm afraid that the Profound Heaven Sect and I won't go to war with the major sects because of this. "
"Why not? If you agree, then we can cooperate. The Seventy-two Islands Alliance is willing to give up the ruins of the Sky City. The three of us can divide it equally, as long as we can withstand the attacks of the major sects. "
"Are you kidding? Withstand the attacks of the major sects? How? If we can really withstand the attacks of the major sects, then didn't we do it in the Secret Realm Labyrinth? At that time, we still had the Iron Buddha Temple as an ally. Why would we give up the Labyrinth? We can share it with the major sects. Some things can't be solved by risking our lives. If that could be solved, then the Myriad Sword Sect wouldn't have been destroyed. "
