The situation in the South China Sea could be said to be developing in a bad way. However, there was no movement from the Myriad Buddha Temple. Just as Zhao Hai thought, the Myriad Buddha Temple didn't take any action. Perhaps they didn't want to get involved in this matter.
However, in any case, the Sea Exploring Sect needed to face the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's attack. Perhaps because of this, the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance didn't put the Sea Exploring Sect in their eyes. The Sea Exploring Sect was recognized as the weakest faction in the South China Sea Alliance, while the strongest was the 33 Islands. The middle position was the Profound Sky Sect. Now that the Profound Sky Sect was destroyed, more than half of the Profound Sky Sect Alliance's members surrendered to the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. Although the rest surrendered to the Sea Exploring Sect, they didn't have many experts and couldn't help the Sea Exploring Sect.
On the other hand, the Thirty-three Islands of the South Sea were being attacked by another army of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. They simply couldn't spare any troops to help the Scouring Sea Sect. Under such circumstances, the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance naturally wouldn't put the Scouring Sea Sect in their eyes. In their opinion, the Scouring Sea Sect Alliance was just a force that they could casually take down. Therefore, they weren't in a hurry. Instead, they were at ease as they devoured the territory of the Profound Sky Sect Alliance. Only after they had digested the territory of the Profound Sky Sect Alliance would they attack the Scouring Sea Sect at a leisurely pace.
The Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's army was stationed at the border between the Sea Exploring Sect and the Profound Sky Sect for three days. During this time, they didn't send any troops into the Sea Exploring Sect's territory. At the same time, their camp was heavily guarded, not giving any chance for a sneak attack. It seems like they were also afraid of Zhao Hai's nickname, Blood Fox Sword.
Zhao Hai had fought a lot of people. Many people knew that Zhao Hai liked to attack the enemy when they least expected it. This reputation had long been known by others. Therefore, these people were very careful when fighting against Zhao Hai. They were afraid that Zhao Hai would plot against them.
However, they were wrong this time. Zhao Hai had no intention of attacking them. He was waiting for these people to attack them. Now, all the large divine tools and disciples of the Exploring Sea Sect were ready. The experts of the sect had also been dispatched. They were just waiting for the enemy to come.
The Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's army camped outside the Sea Exploring Sect's territory for three days before finally entering. However, it could be seen that they were moving very carefully. The army of 300,000 advanced cautiously, not giving Zhao Hai any chance to launch a sneak attack.
This time, the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance had sent out more than a hundred large artifacts. These large artifacts were all gathered by various sects and there were all kinds of them. However, these large artifacts were enough for them to use. Moreover, as long as they were commanded well, these large artifacts would be even more useful.
However, what the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance didn't expect was that after they entered the Exploring Sea Exploring Sect's territory, they were very safe. They didn't encounter any attacks, they didn't even see a single cultivator.
This was very strange. The current commander of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance was still Gui Yin. Gui Yin was leaning on a Ghost King Ship. He looked around and saw that there were only mountains, trees, and small rivers. There was nothing special about this place. He didn't see a single cultivator, not even an ordinary person.
However, Gui Yin still felt strange. He couldn't tell what was strange about this place. After a while, he suddenly remembered why he felt strange. It was because he didn't see any beasts here, not even a single beast.
The environment of the Sword Spirit World was very good. In addition to demon beasts, there were also many ordinary beasts. However, the cultivators of the Sword Spirit World didn't care about these ordinary beasts. Because of this, the cultivators of the Sword Spirit World didn't pay attention to these beasts. This made the beasts in the Sword Spirit World become very numerous. Sometimes, these beasts would even attack the Tree Village.
However, their 300,000 strong army had been traveling for such a long time, yet they hadn't seen any wild beasts, not even a single one. This was definitely abnormal.
After thinking about this, Gui Yin immediately shouted, "Stop! Everyone, get into formation. Be careful of enemy attacks. Send people to scout the surroundings. I want to see what's around here."
An Evil Ghost Sect Cultivator standing next to Gui Yin looked at him in confusion and said, "Martial Uncle, what's wrong? Did you find something? Which direction do you want to scout? "
Gui Yin replied, "Don't you feel that something is wrong? We've been flying for a long time, but we didn't see a single beast. We didn't even see a single bird. Is this normal? When did we not see any beasts in the Sword Spirit World? Now that we don't see any, there's only one explanation. The situation around here has changed. All the beasts have run away. No matter what this change is, it's very unfavorable for us. Therefore, you should immediately go and see if there's anything around here. Once you find something, no matter what it is, immediately report back. "
The people from the Evil Ghost Sect were also stunned. Then, their expressions changed. Now that they thought about it, there were so many of them, and they were moving together. Moreover, they were all flying in the sky. Those birds that could fly, upon seeing their army pass by, would have already scattered in all directions. However, they had flown so far, yet they didn't see a single one. Wasn't this strange enough?
Now that they realized that something was wrong, they quickly responded and then ran off to pass the order. Before long, the army of 300,000 stopped and began to get into formation. Then several groups of people flew out to scout the surroundings.
Gui Yin looked at these people and felt more and more uneasy. He didn't understand where this uneasiness came from, but it was getting more and more intense.
Soon, the people who went out to scout disappeared from his sight. Gui Yin became even more nervous. He circled around twice, but he still couldn't calm himself down. The other Evil Ghost Sect Cultivators looked at him in confusion. This was the first time they saw Gui Yin lose his composure like this.
One step passed, two hours passed, three hours passed, four hours passed. Gui Yin waited on the Ghost King Ship for four hours, but he didn't see a single group of people coming back. He immediately felt that something was wrong. He quickly said to the Evil Ghost Sect Cultivator standing next to him, "Did they go out for four hours?"
The Evil Ghost Sect Cultivator's expression changed. He nodded and said, "Yes, Martial Uncle. They went out for four hours."
Gui Yin took a deep breath and said, "Then there's no need to say anything. They definitely won't be coming back. Send another group of people out. This time, tell them that no matter what they see, they must all come back within an hour."
The Evil Ghost Sect Cultivator nodded and immediately went to pass down the order. Not long after, several groups went out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
An hour later, none of those groups returned. They were like stones that sank into the sea, disappearing from the buffer zone forever.
At this time, everyone knew that things had changed. Everyone's expression became very ugly. Not long after, several representatives of the other sects came to the Ghost King Ship. At this time, Gui Yin also came to the cabin of the Ghost King Ship.
After the representatives of the other sects came to the cabin of the Ghost King Ship, Gui Yin looked at them and said, "Everyone is here. Sit down." Everyone sat down. Among them were the representative of the Sword Dance Sect, Su Yuzi, the representative of the Black Sword Sect, the Sect Master of the Black Sword Sect, Qing Ying, and Yang Chengzi of the Black Sky Sect.
After everyone sat down, Gui Yin looked at everyone and said, "Everyone should be aware of the current situation. We sent two groups of people to investigate, but no one came back. This is definitely abnormal. I'm afraid that those people are in danger. What do you think?" Gui Yin nodded and said, "Alright.
Everyone looked at each other and didn't speak. Gui Yin looked at them and then turned to Yang Chengzi and said, "Yang Chengzi, you're originally a member of the Black Sky Sect. Among all the people here, you've been in contact with the Sea Exploring Sect the most. Tell me, what kind of strength does the Sea Exploring Sect have? How many experts do they have?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Yang Chengzi. Yang Chengzi looked at everyone and smiled bitterly, then he said, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at. Although the Black Sky Sect and the Sea Exploring Sect have a lot of contact, those who are in contact with the Sea Exploring Sect are fierce tigers. Speaking of which, Yang Chengzi knows the Sea Exploring Sect the most. The others don't know much about the Sea Exploring Sect. The Sea Exploring Sect is very low-key, and their disciples are very loyal. They rarely come in contact with other sects, so it's almost impossible to collect information about them. Especially in the last four years, the Demon Sword Sect attacked the Sea Exploring Sect. Since then, the Sea Exploring Sect has been completely isolated from the outside world. They don't have much contact with the outside world, and their disciples are also very vigilant. They hardly reveal any information to anyone. Many of the people I sent out to collect information have died in the Sea Exploring Sect. Therefore, for us, the Sea Exploring Sect is very mysterious. Everyone, I'm sorry, I really can't help you."
When Gui Yin heard Yang Chengzi, he couldn't help but frown. He looked at Yang Chengzi and said, "Then tell me about the information you've collected in the past. What was the situation of the Sea Exploring Sect in the past? You should have some impression of it, right?"
Yang Chengzi nodded and said, "I do have some impression of the Sea Exploring Sect in the past. In the past, the Sea Exploring Sect wasn't very strong. Although they were an alliance of all the small sects in the buffer zone, their true strength wasn't very strong. There were even fewer experts. Aside from the Sect Master, the other small sects weren't very strong. Therefore, there was nothing to worry about. However, the reason why the Sea Exploring Sect was valued by the other sects, even our Black Sky Sect and the 72 Southern Sea Islands wanted to form an alliance with them, was mainly because of one person, the Sect Master of the Sea Exploring Sect, Jianjiu. It's not an exaggeration to say that the Sea Exploring Sect was Jianjiu's Sect Master."
