Jie Yiming was sitting in his study. He was currently having a headache. The Evil Ghost Sect Alliance was still attacking the Southern Sea's 33 Islands. Although he wanted to tell others that the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance was just a cover and that the ones who were really dealing with them were the Demon Sword Sect, he needed people to believe him. Currently, they didn't have any evidence of the Demon Sword Sect's participation in the war. Even if he said so, nobody would believe him.
But in any case, the strength of these people was very strong. Now, the Southern Sea's 33 Islands Alliance was only able to defend, they didn't have the ability to counterattack.
And at this time, the Profound Sky Sect Alliance was destroyed. The Sea Exploring Sect was being attacked by another army of the Evil Ghost Sect. There was no way to help them, they could only rely on themselves. But now, they couldn't rely on their own people. Jie Yiming didn't know what to do.
What he was most worried about was the situation of the Sea Exploring Sect. If the Sea Exploring Sect couldn't withstand the attack of the Evil Ghost Sect and was defeated, then they would have to face the danger of being attacked by the Southern Sea.
At this time, Jie Yiming felt a white light flash on his transmission formation. He immediately took out the transmission formation and saw a jade slip on top of it. He immediately took the jade slip and poured his spiritual force into it.
Upon seeing the contents of the jade slip, Jie Yiming was stunned. Then he carefully looked at the contents of the jade slip. After a while, he raised his head in shock.
The contents of Zhao Hai's jade slip were very simple. It said that he arranged a formation and then used it to annihilate the Ghost Clan's army. The army of 300 thousand couldn't escape, all of them were annihilated. Even Ghost Bone was killed by him. Now, they were preparing to counterattack the Mysterious Sky Sect's alliance. This way, they would be able to share some of the pressure on them.
The contents of the jade slip shocked Jie Yiming. He was very clear about the fighting strength of the Evil Ghost Sect's army of 300 thousand. The Evil Ghost Sect's army that attacked the South Sea was only 400 thousand strong. However, they were still able to force the Evil Ghost Sect's army to retreat. And now, Zhao Hai and the others actually managed to destroy the army of 300 thousand. Wasn't this too exaggerated? Is this true?
Jie Yiming had some understanding of Zhao Hai. He knew that Zhao Hai wouldn't lie about this matter. However, he still couldn't believe Zhao Hai. He couldn't believe that Zhao Hai would do such a thing.
Jie Yiming immediately wrote a jade slip and sent it over. He just wanted to confirm whether or not Zhao Hai was telling the truth. Very quickly, he received a reply. Zhao Hai once again confirmed that what he had said was true. They had really killed 300,000 people from the Evil Ghost Sect, and even Ghost Bone had been killed.
However, Zhao Hai also emphasized that he used a formation to kill the other party. If he didn't use a formation, then he wouldn't have been able to kill the other party.
However, Jie Yiming was still very surprised. He discovered that he had to re-evaluate the Sea Exploring Sect. The Sea Exploring Sect was actually this strong. This was really beyond his expectations.
Jie Yiming expressed his gratitude to Zhao Hai. He knew that he would have to rely on Zhao Hai in the future. This was because the situation in the South Sea was deteriorating day by day. Their allied army couldn't defeat the Evil Ghost Sect's army. What surprised him was that Zhao Hai's three islands were able to withstand the Evil Ghost Sect's attack. Up until now, the Evil Ghost Sect still hadn't been able to capture the three islands. From this point, one could see the strength of the Scouring Sea Sect. In the end, there were only two paths that they could take. One was to surrender to the Evil Ghost Sect, which was equivalent to surrendering to the Demon Sword Sect. This wasn't something that Jie Yiming wanted. They already had a huge enmity with the Demon Sword Sect, so surrendering to the Demon Sword Sect wasn't something that Jie Yiming wanted.
The other path was to rely on the Sea Exploring Sect. But there were two ways to do so. One was to rely on the Sea Exploring Sect. However, this was only relying on the Sea Exploring Sect. They were still independent and had the same existence as the Sea Exploring Sect. They were equals. They were just in distress and were temporarily living in the Sea Exploring Sect.
The other way was to completely rely on the Sea Exploring Sect. In the future, they would be a part of the Sea Exploring Sect, just like the people of the Profound Sky Sect. At this time, Jie Yiming was in a dilemma as to how they should rely on the Sea Exploring Sect.
To be honest, Jie Yiming was reluctant to give up his identity as an island lord. However, he didn't have any objection to surrendering to Zhao Hai. This was because Zhao Hai's strength was just too strong. Moreover, Zhao Hai was able to reach this point under Jie Yiming's nose. Jie Yiming really admired such a capable person. Therefore, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with surrendering to Zhao Hai.
But here came the problem. Jie Yiming wanted to rely on the other party and the other party would accept him. However, he didn't want to surrender alone. If he surrendered alone, then Zhao Hai might give him a good position due to their previous friendship. However, Jie Yiming wasn't willing to give up. He still wanted to do something. In this case, he needed more power. If he wanted more power, then he needed to show his ability. If he could get more people to join the Sea Exploring Sect, then his status would certainly be higher.
After thinking about this, Jie Yiming couldn't help but calculate how many people he could get into the Sea Exploring Sect. At the same time, he also understood why Zhao Hai didn't come to support them. It was because Zhao Hai also wanted the South Sea.
To be honest, even if Jie Yiming knew what Zhao Hai wanted to do, he wasn't angry at Zhao Hai at all. Zhao Hai wanted the South Sea, but Jie Yiming didn't do anything to add insult to injury. He even helped the 33 islands when he could. They were the ones who didn't live up to expectations, so they couldn't blame anyone else.
The Sword Spirit Realm was also the Cultivation Realm. In the Cultivation Realm, the strong preyed on the weak. This was the norm. For Zhao Hai to do this, he could already be considered as being extremely benevolent. What reason did they have to blame Zhao Hai?
On the other hand, Zhao Hai didn't expect Jie Yiming to have already decided to surrender to him. He was still carrying out his plan. First, he would eliminate all the cultivators of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance in the Sea Exploring Sect before marching to the Profound Heaven Sect.
For the Evil Ghost Sect's cultivators, this wasn't a big deal. In fact, it could even be said that it was very simple. This was because these people were inside the sect's formation. No matter what they do, it would cause the formation to change. When the time comes, even if they weren't killed by the formation, they would still be discovered by the sect's cultivators. Then, they would be exterminated. However, this would still take time. These cultivators were very fast. The pursuit took Zhao Hai and the others a full ten days. And this was with all of the sect's disciples mobilizing. Only then were they able to exterminate the cultivators.
After Zhao Hai's group completely eliminated the Evil Ghost Sect, the situation in the South Sea became even worse. Now, the army of the 33 Southern Islands had returned to the territory of the 33 Northern Islands. Aside from the three islands of the Sea Exploring Sect, all the other islands of the 39 Southern Islands had been taken over by the Evil Ghost Sect.
And now, the people of the Northern Thirty-Three Islands were using the island-less sea to block the attack of the Evil Ghost Sect. Although the Evil Ghost Sect's attack was very fierce, they weren't from the Southern Thirty-Three Islands. They didn't have large sea beasts. Although these large sea beasts weren't as strong as large artifacts, they were still useful in the sea. Because they didn't have large sea beasts, it was still difficult for them to break through the island-less sea. This also gave the Northern Thirty-Three Islands a chance to breathe.
However, the Northern Islands wouldn't be able to hold on for long. This was because in this period of time, a lot of people from the 39 Southern Islands had surrendered to the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. These people were originally defeated by the Northern Islands and surrendered to the Northern Islands. However, they were still unwilling to give up and wanted to restore their former islands. It was just that they didn't have the opportunity to do so before.
Now, they saw an opportunity. In their eyes, the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's attack on the Southern Sea's 33 Islands was their chance. If they joined them, they would be of some use to the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. They could also attack the morale of the Northern Sea's 33 Islands. Therefore, some of them directly surrendered to the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance and became their people.
However, this also led to another consequence. They joined the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance, causing the people of the Northern 33 Islands to distrust the people of the Southern 39 Islands even more. At this time, the people of the Northern 33 Islands made another move. They used the people of the Southern 39 Islands as cannon fodder. This naturally caused even more people of the Southern 39 Islands to be dissatisfied. More and more people of the Southern 39 Islands joined the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. This turned into a vicious cycle. This was also one of the reasons why the people of the Northern 33 Islands were defeated so quickly.
Right now, the people of the 33 Northern Isles were completely disappointed with the people of the 39 Southern Isles. The main force of their army was the people of the 33 Northern Isles. They were facing off against the people of the Evil Ghost Sect across the sea.
Zhao Hai was also very clear about this situation. However, he didn't intend to intervene. As long as the nail he planted in the Southern Sea was still there, he was confident that he could take back the Southern Sea. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry.
After using ten days to eliminate the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance, Zhao Hai directly gathered his army. He brought along seventy Myriad Sword Ships and directly rushed towards the Profound Sky Sect.
This time, he mobilized a hundred thousand troops. Everyone was on the Myriad Sword Ships. Naturally, their speed was very fast. In just two days, they had already arrived outside the Profound Sky Sect. Now, the people stationed at the Profound Sky Sect's gate were some people from the Profound Sky Sect. The leader was Yang Chengzi. In addition to them, there were also some people from the Evil Ghost Sect. The total number of troops was about a hundred thousand. However, many of them were disciples in the Qi Transformation Realm. They were basically useless in a war like this. Therefore, when Yang Chengzi heard that Zhao Hai and the others had arrived, his expression changed greatly.
Yang Chengzi stood in the Profound Sky Sect's gate and looked at the Myriad Sword Ships that were arranged in a neat formation outside the sect. He had seen the Myriad Sword Ships before. When Zhao Hai and the others supported the Profound Sky Sect, they brought some Myriad Sword Ships. However, they didn't know much about the Myriad Sword Ships. They only knew that it wasn't easy to make a Myriad Sword Ship, but they didn't know how useful it was. At that time, they didn't expect the Scouring Sea Sect to have so many Myriad Sword Ships. They thought that the large artifacts that the Scouring Sea Sect brought were all they had when they came to support the Profound Sky Sect.
Now, Yang Chengzi's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He really didn't know what was going on in his mind. He joined the Demon Sword Sect because he felt that the Demon Sword Sect had the ability to unify the entire Sword Spirit World. Therefore, he betrayed the Profound Sky Sect and even personally killed Qing Zhanzi. But now, the 300,000 troops of the Evil Ghost Sect had killed their way into the Scouring Sea Sect and disappeared without a trace. Now, the Scouring Sea Sect had sent out seventy large artifacts and killed their way back to the Profound Sky Sect. Compared to when Zhao Hai and the others fled the Profound Sky Sect, this could be considered as a reversal of fortune.
Zhao Hai stood on one of the Ten Thousand Swords Ships as he calmly looked at Yang Chengzi who was inside the Profound Sky Sect's defensive formation. At this time, the Profound Sky Sect didn't have any large artifacts. All of the large artifacts were sent to attack Zhao Hai's army. Now, the Profound Sky Sect only had the defensive formation. Aside from the defensive formation, there were less than 30 thousand Qi Refining Realm cultivators. It was impossible for such a small number of people to block Zhao Hai's army.
Although Yang Chengzi asked for help from the Demon Sword Sect, it would take time for the reinforcements to arrive. Especially for reinforcements, the fastest way was to use the transmission formation. But do they have that much time? He knew Zhao Hai very well. He knew that Zhao Hai was an expert in formations and also an expert in breaking formations. During the civil war in the South Sea, he helped the 33 Northern Isles to deal with the 39 Southern Isles. His greatest help was breaking the defensive formation of the 39 Southern Isles. Almost none of the defensive formations of the 39 Southern Isles could last more than an hour in his hands. Under such circumstances, how long could the defensive formation of the Profound Sky Sect last? He didn't have much confidence in this.
Zhao Hai looked at Yang Chengzi and said in a deep voice, "Yang Chengzi, you are an elder of the Profound Sky Sect, but you betrayed the Profound Sky Sect and caused great harm to the sect. So I won't let you go. But as I said, when the time is right, I will give Fierce Tiger a chance to take revenge with his own hands. If you open the defensive formation of the Profound Sky Sect now, I will let you and Daoist Fierce Tiger fight to the death. If you lose, only death will await you. But if you win, I will give you one day to escape from here. Remember, I will only give you one day. After one day, I will hunt you down. Do you agree? "
Yang Chengzi looked at Zhao Hai. There was a trace of regret in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. What followed was an infinite desire to live. He looked at Zhao Hai and nodded. "Alright, I agree." Zhao Hai nodded. "Alright, I agree."
