The news of the alliance of the 39 southern isles being defeated by the alliance of the 33 northern isles spread throughout the Sword Spirit Boundary in a very short time. The people from the big sects were very surprised by this news. They didn't think that the people from the 33 northern isles would be so strong that they could defeat the alliance of the 39 southern isles in such a short period of time. This really surprised them.
All the major sects wanted to know how the people of the Northern 33 Isles did it. Then, a piece of news spread. The Ninth Saber of the Blood Fox Sword had entangled the number one expert of the Southern Sea, Bao Tianlong. This allowed the people of the Northern 33 Isles to defeat the people of the Southern 39 Isles. This news shocked the people of the Sword Spirit World.
Bao Tianlong's title as the number one expert of the South Sea wasn't given by himself. It was recognized by the people of the Sword Spirit Boundary. However, they didn't think that Zhao Hai would be strong enough to entangle Bao Tianlong. One must know that Bao Tianlong's strength was very famous in the Sword Spirit Boundary. For Zhao Hai to be able to entangle Bao Tianlong meant that Zhao Hai's strength could be ranked among the top in the Sword Spirit Boundary. It was also at this time that the people of the Sword Spirit Boundary began to take Zhao Hai's strength seriously.
What they didn't know was that the people from the 33 northern islands weren't in the mood to pay attention to these things. They were currently in the waters of the Divine Turtle Island, looking for the remnants of Bao Tianlong's alliance.
Although they were called remnants, the remaining forces of the 39 southern islands weren't small. Therefore, they must find the alliance of the 39 southern islands as soon as possible. If they can't find the alliance of the 39 southern islands, then it would be very troublesome.
Zhao Hai returned to the Divine Turtle Island under the escort of Hai Stone and the others. Then he went directly to his room and began to close up. However, Hai Stone and the others didn't leave. They all stood guard outside Zhao Hai's room, not allowing anyone to get close.
Five days later, the door to Zhao Hai's room was opened. Hai Stone and the others entered Zhao Hai's room. Zhao Hai was sitting in the living room drinking tea. When he saw them come in, he smiled faintly and said, "Have a seat."
Haishi and the others sat down as they looked at Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled faintly. Then he turned to Wen Wenhai and said, "What's the situation outside?"
Wen Wenhai said in a deep voice, "We haven't found the army of the Southern 39 Isles yet, but it should be soon. If there are only a few islands left to search, then there should be news soon. All the major sects also know about this matter, and they are also inquiring about it. But Boss, your reputation has spread, they all call you the second strongest expert in the South Sea."
When Zhao Hai heard Wen Wenhai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he repeated the words he used to deceive Wen Wenhai, "The second strongest expert in the South Sea?"
Wen Wenhai smiled faintly and said, "Right, they call you the second strongest expert in the South Sea. Boss, the next time you want to put on an act, can you tell Old Hai and the others first? Look at how worried they are these days, they've been sitting outside."
"You didn't say anything, right? If you're being kind, why didn't you tell them? "
"I'm afraid that others would see through it. If Old Hai and the others aren't outside, how would others know that you're injured? They might even see that you're faking it. Wouldn't that be bad? "
"I'm the same. Old Hai, you don't have to worry about it. Actually, when I fought Bao Tianlong, I didn't use my full strength and wasn't injured. But I didn't want the Northern 33 Isles to know about my situation, so I faked it. This way, the Northern 33 Isles wouldn't know about my true strength."
When Hai Stone and the others heard Wen Wenhai and Zhao Hai talking, they felt strange. Now that they heard Zhao Hai, they felt even more strange. Hai Stone looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master, are you really not injured?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I already said that I'm confident in dealing with Bao Tianlong. But why would I kill him? If I did, then it would be a huge blow to the Southern 39 Isles. If the Southern 39 Isles surrendered, then what would we do? Wouldn't our previous plan go down the drain? Because of this, I can't kill Bao Tianlong. At this time, Bao Tianlong should have already returned to the Southern 39 Isles. The Southern 39 Isles would certainly organize themselves and prepare for our attack. At the same time, the Northern 33 Isles would also attack. For them, this is a rare opportunity that they wouldn't let go of. And this is our goal. The Southern 39 Isles are very unconvinced of their defeat. They would think that we didn't rely on strength to defeat them, so they would continue to fight. Only then would we be able to destroy the Southern 39 Isles and obtain the three islands that belong to us. In this case, why would I kill Bao Tianlong? Wouldn't that be making things difficult for myself? Faking my injury would be good. Outsiders wouldn't know my true strength, but they would think that I'm very strong and wouldn't be easy to provoke. This would be good for me and the Sea Exploring Sect. "
Hai Stone and the others quietly listened to Zhao Hai's words. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would be acting from beginning to end. This made them very surprised.
To be honest, Hai Stone and the others were now doubting Zhao Hai's words. If Zhao Hai were to say that he could defeat Bao Tianlong, then they would still believe it. But to make the opponent think that he was inferior to Bao Tianlong and not be discovered, this wasn't easy. It might even be more difficult than defeating the opponent, especially when the opponent was an expert like Bao Tianlong.
Zhao Hai looked at Hai Stone and the others and didn't say anything. He just turned his head to Wen Wenhai and said, "Alright, after we go out, tell them that I just recovered from my injury. Don't talk about anything else. Alright, you can all leave." Hai Stone and the others nodded before they turned around and left.
After they left, Zhao Hai turned his head to Iron Snake and said, "Iron Snake, how was your harvest this time? Bao Tianlong's Qingyun Thirty-six Forms is very beneficial for your Snake Fist. You have to comprehend it well. "
Iron Snake nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master. I've gained a lot this time. I want to go into seclusion for a few more days."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Go back to the sect and go into seclusion first. Get Tie Niu here." Iron Snake nodded and cupped his fists towards Zhao Hai. Then, he directly took the Divine Turtle Island's teleportation array and left.
After the news of Zhao Hai's recovery spread out, Gui Xinyu and the others immediately invited Zhao Hai to the Great Hall. At this time, Gui Xinyu and the others had returned to the Divine Turtle Island. Naturally, the Island Masters didn't need to personally go looking for Bao Tianlong, they could just send some Elders. As long as Bao Tianlong's group was found, then everything would be fine.
When Zhao Hai arrived at the main hall, he saw that Gui Xinyu and the other island representatives were all present. Zhao Hai quickly cupped his fists towards everyone and said, "Jianjiu greets everyone. I've made everyone wait for a long time."
Gui Xinyu looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master Jian, have you fully recovered from your injuries? My Spirit Turtle Island has a few medicinal pills that are very beneficial for the recovery of injuries. I'll have someone bring them over. "
Zhao Hai quickly smiled and said, "There's no need. Thank you for your concern, Island Master Gui. My injuries have completely recovered. To be honest, I didn't expect that Bao Tianlong's strength would be so strong. His Intent Cultivation Technique has already reached the Intent Manifestation Realm. Therefore, I suffered some losses. I've made everyone laugh at me."
"Sect Master Jian must be joking. If we were to laugh at you, then we would really be idiots. You were able to entangle Bao Tianlong for such a long time. That's already very impressive. So many of us attacked together, but we still couldn't make him stay. Bao Tianlong's title as the number one expert of the South Sea isn't just for show. "Jie Yiming looked at Zhao Hai and said.
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, "It wasn't that long. I only exchanged about thirty moves with Bao Tianlong. I was already injured after thirty moves. This is already very shameful."
Gui Xinyu looked at Zhao Hai and smiled bitterly, "If you say that, then we'll lose even more face. I'm afraid that none of us can last more than thirty moves against Bao Tianlong. You were able to block more than thirty moves and only suffered minor injuries. This is already very impressive. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. We still haven't found Bao Tianlong's whereabouts, this makes me a little worried."
While they were talking, a disciple suddenly ran in and shouted, "Island Master, there's news, there's news."
Gui Xinyu looked and saw that this disciple was a core disciple of the Divine Turtle Island. He quickly said, "Have you found Bao Tianlong? Where are they? "
The disciple immediately replied, "Island Master, we just received news that the army of the 39 Southern Isles was found on Stony Island. They are using a transmission formation to leave. Maybe because the transmission formation is too small, they haven't completely left yet. Moreover, Bao Tianlong is also there."
"Stony Island? They actually built a transmission formation on Stony Island? This transmission formation can't be built in a day or two. It seems like they have been planning to attack us for a long time. Hateful, truly hateful. "Gui Xinyu said fiercely.
Jie Yiming opened his mouth and said, "Island Master, I seem to have heard about this Stony Island. It's an inconspicuous island, isn't it? Moreover, it doesn't seem to be too far from the Divine Turtle Island. "
"It's not far, only about five days away. However, ordinary people wouldn't go there. This is because for some unknown reason, there are a lot of demon beasts there. Moreover, there's nothing on the island. Just from the name, you can tell that there's nothing but stones on Stony Island. I didn't think that they would actually go to Stony Island and build a transmission formation. If they directly came to help the Divine Turtle Island from the transmission formation, then it would be too dangerous. But why didn't they do so before? Could it be that they built the transmission formation after occupying the southern part of the Divine Turtle Island? "
"This is very likely. They have occupied the southern waters of the Mystical Turtle Island, so they built a teleportation formation there as a backup plan. This kind of scheme is really surprising. Bao Tianlong is really a powerful character."
"Sect Lord Jian's words are reasonable. Bao Tianlong is indeed very strong. However, the defeat this time has indeed caused the 39 Southern Isles to suffer a lot. I think we should pursue them and kill our way into the 39 Southern Isles' sea region. Even if we can't destroy the 39 Southern Isles, we should at least hurt them. Otherwise, when the 39 Southern Isles gather their army, they will certainly attack us. Instead of waiting for them to attack us, it's better for us to attack them. When they attack us, all the broken bottles and jars will belong to us. If we attack them, all the broken things will belong to them, and we won't feel any heartache."
"Yes, we should attack them. If we miss this opportunity, we won't be able to find another one. Let's take advantage of the fact that those great sects are focusing on the ruins of Sky City and solve this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, we might give those great sects an opportunity to deal with the 39 Southern Isles in the future. Don't think that an alliance agreement can make those great sects behave and not attack us. That's impossible. If there's an opportunity in the future, they will never let it go."
"Island Master Jian's words are reasonable. Now, those great sects are still focusing on the ruins of Sky City. If we can't deal with the 39 Southern Isles after they've finished excavating the ruins of Sky City, then we'll be in danger."
"Sect Master Jian, Daoist Master, what do you two think? But if we attack the 39 Southern Isles, will Scouring Sea Sect and Profound Heaven Sect help us according to the agreement? "
"Of course. We've already signed the alliance agreement, so we'll naturally help. Please rest assured."
Gui Xin Yu nodded, then he looked at the other Sect Leaders and said, "Alright, since Sect Leader Jian and Daoist Priest agree, then we have nothing else to say. The people of the 39 Southern Isles didn't declare war on us and directly attacked us. If we don't fight back, then it would be unreasonable. However, there's also a problem with our alliance. When we were fighting against the 39 Southern Isles, we were like scattered sand, we didn't have a good cooperation, and we didn't have a unified command. I don't think this will work, I think that if we want to attack the 39 Southern Isles, we need a unified command. What do you all think?"
Everyone nodded. They also felt that there should be a unified commander. Without a unified commander, they would be at a disadvantage when fighting the 39 Southern Isles. This time, if they didn't use Zhao Hai's method, it wouldn't be so easy to defeat the 39 Southern Isles' alliance. Moreover, the 39 Southern Isles' alliance was preparing to deal with them. It was just that they had made their move earlier. Therefore, it was necessary to have a unified commander during the battle.
But now, there was a problem, and that was the issue of the commander. There was no problem with a unified commander, but who would be the commander was a big problem. The 33 Northern Isles weren't monolithic and had great conflicts with each other. They didn't feel at ease with who would be the commander. Therefore, they didn't mention the issue of a unified commander before.
Gui Xinyu looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, I have a suggestion. I would like to appoint Sect Master Jianjiu as the commander. Sect Master Jianjiu is very powerful and I'm sure everyone is aware of his ability to command. There's nothing better than letting Sect Master Jianjiu be the commander. What do you think?"
