The people of the Demon Sword Sect had always wanted to reach out to the Sword Spirit Realm. This was because they had always been outside of the Sword Spirit Realm. Although their disciples would go to the Sword Spirit Realm every 20 years or so and leave a lot of fame behind, this also made them stay outside of the Sword Spirit Realm. Even the people of the Sword Spirit Realm were very wary of them. This was because once they entered the Sword Spirit Realm, the other sects would notice them. Unless they had a good reason, otherwise, if they were to casually intervene in the affairs of the Sword Spirit Realm, they would be met with crazy retaliation from the other sects.
Although the Demon Sword Sect was outside of the Sword Spirit Realm, their roots were still in the Sword Spirit Realm. They still needed to accept disciples in the Sword Spirit Realm. If they really provoked the other sects, then the other sects would directly dig out their roots, making them unable to accept disciples in the Sword Spirit Realm. Then the Demon Sword Sect would be finished.
Because of this, although the Demon Sword Sect was very strong, they didn't make any big moves. At the very least, they didn't make any moves in the Sword Spirit Realm.
Four years ago, they made a move against the Iron Buddha Temple because the Iron Buddha Temple discovered too many of their secrets. Therefore, they made a move to deal with the Iron Buddha Temple. At the same time, they wanted to give confidence to their allies. They wanted their allies to understand how strong the Demon Sword Sect was. Therefore, they made a move four years ago.
After that move, the Demon Sword Sect immediately became well-behaved. This was because they were afraid that the other sects would start to deal with them. If the other sects really started to deal with them, then their plan wouldn't be able to proceed smoothly.
Fortunately, the other sects didn't react that quickly. After all, they weren't the ones who were destroyed. Therefore, the Demon Sword Sect didn't deal with them. However, they still decided to be well-behaved for a while. At the same time, they were also making their final preparations.
And now, the Demon Sword Sect felt that they were ready. The reason why they attacked the South Sea Alliance was because they wanted to obtain the South Sea Alliance's territory. Secondly, they wanted to destroy the Sea Exploration Sect. After all, the Sea Exploration Sect had enmity with them, and this enmity wasn't small. Most importantly, the Sea Exploration Sect was very clear about their actions. If one were to say who was the biggest threat to their plan, then it would be the Sea Exploration Sect.
Attacking the South Sea Alliance also had another use, and that was to place bait. The Demon Sword Sect was very clear that the other sects had long wanted to obtain the South Sea Alliance. However, they didn't have the opportunity to do so. They believed that as long as the Evil Ghost Sect could take the South Sea Alliance, then the other sects wouldn't be able to sit still. When the time comes, they would certainly send troops to deal with the Demon Sword Sect. At that time, the Evil Ghost Sect would ask for help, and the Demon Sword Sect would be able to openly appear in the Sword Spirit Boundary.
This time was the same. Zhao Hai directly told Gui Chengzi that he didn't want to talk to him because Gui Chengzi wasn't qualified to talk to him. He wanted to talk to Mo Lingzi. Mo Lingzi felt that this was an opportunity. As long as they took advantage of this opportunity, they could openly intervene in the Sword Spirit Boundary. At the very least, they could openly intervene in the South Sea Alliance. Therefore, he set a trap for Zhao Hai. He wanted Zhao Hai to admit that a person with a high status could represent a sect. This way, they could proceed with the next step of their plan.
However, Zhao Hai didn't fall for it. Zhao Hai didn't admit that a person with a high status could represent a sect, which made their wishful thinking fail. This also made Mo Lingzi think highly of Zhao Hai. He didn't know if Zhao Hai had seen through his plan, but just based on how flawless Zhao Hai's words were, it was enough for him to think highly of Zhao Hai. At the very least, Zhao Hai was much smarter than most people. He didn't give Mo Lingzi any chance to attack him during this conversation.
However, Mo Lingzi wouldn't let Zhao Hai off so easily. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mr. Jianjiu, before becoming the Sect Master of the Sea Exploring Sect, you were the Sect Master of the Sword Controlling Sect, right?"
"Yes!" Zhao Hai looked at Mo Lingzi and said, "This isn't a secret, right?"
Mo Lingzi's face revealed a smile. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mr. Jianjiu, logically speaking, you shouldn't be the Sect Master of the Sword Controlling Sect, right? In fact, there's another branch of the Sword Controlling Sect. This branch was separated from the Sword Controlling Sect in the past. Moreover, their status is very high. According to the Sword Controlling Sect's calculation, they should be the Grand Elders of the Sword Controlling Sect. And the selection of the Sword Controlling Sect's Sect Master seems to have to go through these Grand Elders, right? Mr. Jianjiu, without the permission of these Grand Elders, you claim to be the Sect Master of the Sword Controlling Sect. This doesn't seem to be in accordance with the rules of the Sword Controlling Sect, right? "
"The rules of the Sword Controlling Sect? You know the rules of the Sword Controlling Sect? That's interesting. Then tell me, what rules do you think the Sword Controlling Sect has? "
Mo Lingzi looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, "The rules of the Sword Controlling Sect are that if you don't have the consent of these Grand Elders, your Sect Master position is illegitimate. You don't deserve to be a Sect Master, so you have to give up the Sect Master position."
Zhao Hai looked at Mo Lingzi and said in a deep voice, "Then tell me, are there still Grand Elders in the Sword Controlling Sect?" In fact, Zhao Hai already knew what Mo Lingzi was planning. He wanted to use this matter to pressure him. Zhao Hai didn't care about this at all. Now that he was the Sect Master of the Sea Exploring Sect, the people of the Demon Sword Sect actually wanted to use the Sword Controlling Sect to pressure him. They really didn't know what they were talking about.
However, Zhao Hai also knew that the reason why Mo Lingzi brought up the matter of the Sword Defense Sect was nothing more than an excuse. He wanted to use an excuse to deal with Zhao Hai and make them stand on the side of righteousness. He had seen this kind of thing many times before.
In Zhao Hai's opinion, the Demon Sword Sect didn't need to do that at all. They were already exposed, and there was no meaning in being so secretive at this time. It was a little self-deceiving.
Sure enough, when Mo Lingzi heard Zhao Hai's words, he couldn't help but smile. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister Jianjiu, who told you that the Sword Controlling Sect doesn't have a Grand Elder? Do you think that the Sword Controlling Sect doesn't have a Grand Elder? In the other branch of the Jianyu Sect, there are still several elders. Do you think that after you killed all the people from the other branch of the Jianyu Sect, no more Jianyu Sect members will appear? Elder Luo, please come out. "
As soon as his voice fell, a few old cultivators appeared beside Mo Lingzi. They didn't look young, and each of them carried a long sword. The appearance of the long sword was very similar to the one in the Sword Controlling Sect. Now, these old men were all looking at Zhao Hai with hatred.
Zhao Hai glanced at the old men and said with a faint smile, "What? You casually call out a few people and say that they're from the Sword Controlling Sect? Then can I also casually call out a few people and say that they're from the Demon Sword Sect? "
The old men looked at Zhao Hai. One of them coldly snorted and said, "Jianjiu, you despicable villain. Back then, we sent people to contact the Green Mist Sect to expel you from the Sword Controlling Sect. But you killed them, and even killed Daoist Master Qinglan. How can a villain like you become a Sect Master?"
Zhao Hai's expression changed. He coldly snorted and said, "Who would believe so much nonsense? If you say that you're from the Sword Controlling Sect, then you're from the Sword Controlling Sect. What can you prove your identity?"
The old man in the lead looked at Zhao Hai and coldly snorted, "Jianjiu, take a look at what this is. This is an Elder's Order that is only given to the Grand Elders in the Sword Controlling Sect. I believe you can recognize it, right? Now, as the Grand Elder of the Sword Controlling Sect, I declare that Jianjiu of the Sword Controlling Sect has deceived his Master and killed his fellow disciples. I order you to immediately hand over the Sword Controlling Sect's Sect Master and expel you from the Sword Controlling Sect. "
Mo Lingzi and the others looked at Zhao Hai with a smile. They wanted to see how Zhao Hai would deal with this situation. Just as Zhao Hai guessed, they wanted to use the Sword Controlling Sect as an excuse to directly intervene in the South Sea's matters. This way, nobody would be able to say anything.
In the name of righteousness, sometimes it was really useless, but you had to think of a way to take advantage of it. Because if you didn't take advantage of it, others would attack you in the name of righteousness. That was why the Demon Sword Sect spent so much effort.
Zhao Hai looked at Mo Lingzi and suddenly laughed. He looked at Mo Lingzi and said, "Mo Lingzi, you must be very proud of yourself to think of such an excuse. This way, you can openly extend your hand to the Sword Controlling Sect. This way, even if the other sects know that you came, you will have an excuse to make them speechless. This is your purpose, right? However, you seem to have forgotten one thing. I'm a disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple. Who said that I took over the Sword Controlling Sect as a disciple? I took over the Sword Controlling Sect's Sect Master after destroying it. Fundamentally speaking, we have no relationship with the Sword Controlling Sect. You actually want to use this as an excuse to attack us? Hahaha, this is really too funny. The reason why we didn't change the name of the Jianyu Sect was because we felt that changing the name would bring us some trouble. So we didn't change it. When did I say that I was a disciple of the Jianyu Sect? All of this is just your idea. These old fellows still want to use the identity of the Sword Controlling Sect's Supreme Elder to control me? We are the ones who destroyed the Sword Controlling Sect. Do you think that we, who destroyed the Sword Controlling Sect, will listen to the words of the Supreme Elder? How naive! "
Hearing Zhao Hai's words, Mo Lingzi and the others stared blankly. They really didn't think that Zhao Hai would actually say such a thing. But thinking about it carefully, Zhao Hai was right. He never said that he was a disciple of the Sword Controlling Sect. Everything was just their image. Just like what Zhao Hai said, he was a disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple. They were the ones who destroyed the Sword Controlling Sect. The Supreme Elder of the Sword Controlling Sect would only be their enemy. How could they listen to the Supreme Elder of the Sword Controlling Sect? This was really a joke.
Thinking of this, Mo Lingzi and the others' expression changed. They really didn't think of this point. Back then, Zhao Hai's sword technique was very powerful. Therefore, everyone thought that he was a disciple of the Sword Controlling Sect. However, they forgot that he also had the identity of the Iron Buddha Temple. This made their plan impossible to carry out.
