Zhao Hai looked at the smiling faces of Hai Stone and the others, then he smiled and said, "I think everyone already knows that we're preparing to leave the 72 islands. This time, Fierce Tiger, Jie Yiming, and I have already discussed it. If we can eliminate the 39 islands alliance, then we'll get three islands. Those will be our branch in the 72 islands of the South Sea." Hai Stone looked at Hai Stone and the others, then he smiled and said, "I think everyone already knows that we're preparing to leave the 72 islands.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Hai Stone and the others became even more happy. They began to discuss the matter one by one. Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled faintly, he didn't say anything. It was good to let them be happy for a while.
After some time, Zhao Hai opened his mouth and said, "You should know that the benefits that Jie Yiming and the others talked about can only be obtained if we eliminate the 39 Island Alliance. Otherwise, we won't be able to obtain it. Therefore, I'm going to send out all of the sect's elites. We need to select 5000 elites from the sect and bring along five Green Mist Plates. Iron Master, you'll be the commander while Elder Hai Stone and Wen Hai will be the two vice commanders. Wen Hai has experience in leading troops, so Elder Iron, you should listen to his opinion. I'll hand over the Eight Trigrams Sword Qi Formation to Elder Hai Stone. If there's any danger, Elder Hai Stone and the others can use the formation to protect everyone. Understood?"
Everyone nodded, then Zhao Hai continued, "I'll leave the sect's matters to Laura for the time being. I'll go with Daoist Priest Fierce Tiger and Island Master Jie to negotiate with the other Sects. Once we're done, we'll immediately rush to the front lines. While we're fighting the 39 Island Alliance, Laura, you must be careful of the situation back home. I think that those fellows from the 39 Island Alliance have gone crazy, they might attack us. Therefore, all the branches should be prepared to withdraw at any time. Also, make sure that the Sword Tomb Branch's defensive formation is activated, we mustn't give the enemy any chance. Understood?"
Do you understand? "Everyone nodded in unison. Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at the others and said," Alright, that's all I have to say. Go and prepare. After you're ready, we'll immediately depart to Spirit Crab Island and then to the frontlines. "
Everyone nodded and immediately went to prepare. After everyone left, Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, can we really eliminate the 39 Island Alliance this time? They're very strong. "
Zhao Hai replied, "Eliminating them is difficult. However, we can weaken the strength of the 72 Islands in the South Sea. We can also make the 39 Island Alliance's enmity with Jie Yiming and the others deepen. When the time comes, we'll have an opportunity... this time, we want the three islands. In fact, we want them to think that we can eliminate the 39 Islands. If we don't, the Island Alliance and Jie Yiming wouldn't send 10 thousand Island Alliance's troops. This time, the Island Alliance's losses, and Jie Yiming's..
. "Laura replied," But our losses won't be small. "
"Our losses won't be too big. First, it's because the people we sent are all elites who have experienced many battles. Second, our main attacks are long-range attacks. Third, we have the Cyan Jade Compass. This time, I'll be bringing a Cyan Jade Compass. In any case, we can make Cyan Jade Compasses whenever we want."
Laura nodded, then she said, "You don't need to worry about the family. With us here, there won't be any problems."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "I'm not worried about the family. Even if we lose some people this time, it wouldn't be a big deal. This is because the elite disciples selected this time are all elites from other sects. They might have seen that our previous battles were very smooth, so they decided to bring their own elites this time. Hehe. But this time, it won't be easy to fight. The location of the battle is the sea. The sea beasts of the South Sea have a different fighting prowess compared to on land. Once the elite disciples are exhausted, they will be more honest. Although they won't rebel, they still have their own thoughts." Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "But this time, they will be honest." Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "I'm not worried about the family. Even if they don't rebel, they still have their own thoughts.
Laura nodded and said, "That's good. Brother Hai, what about after this?"
Zhao Hai replied, "After this matter, I'm afraid that I'll have to focus on Mount Mang for some time. It won't be easy to establish a sect there. However, there's no need to worry about the South Sea. Once the 72 islands are separated, it wouldn't be easy to reunite them. Whether it's us or the Mysterious Sky Sect, we don't want to see them reunite." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
Laura smiled faintly and said, "The 72 Islands of the South Sea are just courting death."
Zhao Hai replied, "I don't want to use force to subdue the 72 Islands of the South Sea. This is because our losses would be very big. Moreover, it would also give the Great Sects an excuse. Unfortunately, there aren't many opportunities like this. In fact, our strength isn't enough."
Laura nodded and said, "Let's slowly develop. After reaching the immortal realm, the lower realms wouldn't be of much help to us. Even those who have just ascended wouldn't be of much help to us."
Zhao Hai replied, "After some time, we can try to recruit some ascended people into the Sect. In fact, these people have experience in cultivation. Moreover, after ascending, their physiques would become very good. They would be very suitable for cultivation. However, I don't know why the Sword Spirit World doesn't want these people. It's too strange."
Laura replied, "Maybe it's because they're ascended. The people of the Sword Spirit World are very xenophobic. In fact, if Brother Hai told Hai Stone and the others that you're an ascended person, I'm afraid they wouldn't listen to you. They're very repulsive towards ascended people."
Zhao Hai nodded and didn't say anything. Then he looked around and said, "No matter what, let's take a rest. The day after tomorrow, I'll be heading to Spirit Crab Island. I don't know how the negotiations with the Great Sects went."
While Zhao Hai and Laura were talking, the Sea Exploring Sect's army was already prepared. A group of people had already left for Spirit Crab Island. Because they were already prepared, they didn't need to prepare anything and just set off.
This time, the Sea Exploring Sect sent 5000 people with five large artifacts. Moreover, all of the cultivators were elites. Because of this, their momentum was naturally different. Wen Wenhai also understood Zhao Hai's intentions. Therefore, although he was one of the three leaders, he didn't speak much. Most of the time, he just listened.
When the group arrived at Spirit Crab Island, the people there were already prepared to welcome them. They arranged a place for them to rest as well as food. Then they were sent to the front lines through the transmission formation.
This time, the front line of the war between the 72 islands in the South Sea was the Divine Turtle Island and the Sea Snake Island. The Divine Turtle Island and the Sea Snake Island were two neighboring islands. The Divine Turtle Island was closer to Jie Yiming and supported the idea of sharing the ruins of Sky City with the other sects. However, the Sea Snake Island didn't agree. In the end, the 39 islands of the Sea Snake Island directly attacked the Divine Turtle Island.
Because the Divine Turtle Island didn't expect the Sea Snake Island to suddenly attack, their losses weren't small. More than half of the Divine Turtle Island's branches were taken over by the Sea Snake Island. The Sea Snake Island's army was now pressing towards the Divine Turtle Island's main island.
In fact, Zhao Hai already knew why the 72 islands were divided into the pro-war faction and the pro-peace faction. He already had a complete map of the 72 islands, so he naturally understood what was going on.
Although the Seventy-two Islands of the South Sea had always been grouped together, they were actually divided into two major parts on the map. One of the major parts was Jie Yiming's 33 islands. These 33 islands were relatively close to the Sword Spirit Boundary, while the other 39 islands were closer to the deep sea.
There was a very clear dividing line between the Divine Turtle Island and the Sea Snake Island. It would take at least five days to travel between the two islands. In other words, it would take at least five days to travel from the Divine Turtle Island to the Sea Snake Island. If one didn't use a transmission formation and flew directly, it would take at least five days. One could only fly on the sea and rest on the sea. There was no island for one to rest on.
It could be said to be a dividing line. The dividing line used to be the forces of the thirty-nine islands, known as the Southern Thirty-nine Islands. To the north of the dividing line was Jie Yiming's thirty-three islands, known as the Northern Thirty-three Islands. There had always been conflicts between the Southern Thirty-nine Islands and the Northern Thirty-three Islands. The people of the Southern Thirty-nine Islands were very hostile to the sects of the Sword Spirit Boundary. They had always been quietly developing their forces and had little contact with the sects of the continent.
On the other hand, the Northern 33 Islands didn't have much hostility towards the sects of the continent. They had been developing very well and had more contact with the sects of the continent.
When Zhao Hai collected the map of the South Sea, he already knew that the 39 Southern Islands had a lot more secret bases compared to the Northern 33 Islands. Their forces were also a lot stronger compared to the Northern 33 Islands. Moreover, their customs were also relatively more intrepid. However, Zhao Hai didn't expect the 39 Southern Islands to openly challenge the sects and even engage in a civil war. He felt that the 39 Southern Islands had gone too far.
At this moment, the two armies were confronting each other at the Mystic Turtle Island. Although the Northern 33 Islands were weaker than the 39 Southern Islands, this didn't mean that they didn't have the strength to fight back. The Northern 33 Islands had already transferred their forces over. The two sides had already clashed many times at the Mystic Turtle Island. Although the Northern 33 Islands had suffered some losses, they were still able to block the attacks of the Southern 39 Islands due to their geographical advantage.
At this time, the allied forces of the Sea Exploration Sect and the Profound Sky Sect arrived. Although they didn't have a lot of cultivators, they were able to boost the morale of the Northern 33 Islands. This meant that the Sea Exploration Sect and the Profound Sky Sect had officially joined the war.
On the other hand, the people from the Southern 39 Isles also received news that the Profound Sky Sect and Sea Scouring Sect had arrived today. Because of this, they were prepared to give the Profound Sky Sect and Sea Scouring Sect a show of strength by sending troops to attack the Divine Turtle Island.
At this time, the one commanding the Northern 33 Islands was the Island Lord of the Mystic Turtle Island, Gui Xinyu. The people of the Mystic Turtle Island were good at taming turtles. Their island's most famous cultivation method was the Six Armor Black Tortoise Art. This was a special Body Cultivation Method. The reason why it was special was because it wasn't like other Body Cultivation Methods. It didn't rely on tempering one's body to increase one's strength. Instead, it relied on a different situation. During cultivation, the Mystic Turtle Island's people would refine a turtle shell into their body and slowly nourish their body. This allowed their body to absorb the power of the turtle shell, and in the end, their body would become more and more powerful.
This method was similar to the Iron Buddha Lotus Body of the Iron Buddha Temple. However, it was much worse compared to the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. This was because it wasn't as painful as the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. Naturally, its might wasn't as great as the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. However, the Mystic Turtle Sect's people's defenses were still very strong.
Just as Gui Xinyu was receiving Tie Shi and the others, the island's alarm suddenly rang. Gui Xinyu's complexion changed, he quickly turned to Tie Shi and the others and said, "Everyone, I'm really sorry. Those fellows are attacking again. I have to go to the front to take a look. I'll arrange for people to take you to rest. Since you've just arrived, you should rest well. I won't accompany you."
Then Gui Xinyu ordered people to take Tie Shi and the others to rest. However, Tie Shi waved his hand and said, "Island Lord Gui, you're too polite. We came here to participate in the war, not to be arrogant. Since the enemy came at this time, then it means that they're coming for us. Naturally, we can't just sit back and watch. How about this, we'll go with you."
When Gui Xinyu heard Tie Shi, he couldn't help but stare. Then he said with a moved expression, "Everyone, I don't have any other intentions. It's just that I see that you've been working hard, so I want you to take a rest. If you want to fight, then you can fight whenever you want. There's no need to be anxious right now."
Tie Shi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We also came here using the transmission formation. We don't need to rest. Let's go. Island Lord Gui, let's go and take a look."
When Gui Xinyu saw that Tie Shi wanted to go, he couldn't say anything. He nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll go according to Elder Tie." Then he led Tie Shi forward. Tie Shi turned his head to Haishi and Wen Wenhai and said, "Old Haishi, Old Wen, I'll leave the formation to you. I'll go take a look first. You can bring your people and follow me."
Naturally, Wen Wenhai and Haishi didn't object. The two nodded and immediately began to form the formation. The Sea Exploring Sect's elites had undergone some military training. Therefore, it wasn't very troublesome for them to form a formation. Before long, they were all in formation. Then they all boarded the Green Mist Disk. Then the Green Mist Disk flew out of the island.
When the people from the Black Sky Sect saw that the Sea Exploring Sect's people had already left, they naturally couldn't help but follow. After organizing their troops, they also flew out. This time, the Black Sky Sect also brought ten large artifacts. Therefore, they also loaded their people into the large artifacts and flew out. Before long, they arrived outside the island.
When they arrived outside the island, they saw a group of densely packed black dots flying over from the distant sky. It really looked like they were covering the sky and the earth.
