Zhao Hai was quietly sitting inside the Great Hall of the Sea Exploring Sect. At this time, there were a lot of people inside the Great Hall, including Laura and the others, Haishi Lan, Wen Wenhai, Daoist Priest Fierce Tiger, and Jie Yiming. Three days had already passed since the 17 Supreme Elders surrendered. In these three days, Zhao Hai had already dealt with the matters of the Sea Exploring Sect. Now, it was time for a summary.
When Zhao Hai trapped the 1 million strong army of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance in the South Sea, Long Dingtian had already led his people to attack the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's camp. Because the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's camp didn't have a lot of people, it was easily captured. Then Long Dingtian led his army to attack the other islands, capturing the entire Divine Turtle Island. In fact, the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance didn't have any people stationed on the other islands. Their main goal was to capture Divine Turtle Island and then clean up the entire northern 33 islands. Because of this, they didn't have a lot of people stationed on the other islands.
While Long Dingtian and the others were moving, Haishi Lan and Laura also began to move. Haishi Lan immediately dispatched his troops from the Green Flood Dragon Islands to attack the other islands. Because Zhao Hai and the others were already prepared, they could directly use transmission formations to attack the islands. Although the islands had defensive formations, Haishi Lan had a large artifact and a jade compass. Breaking the formations wasn't difficult. And with the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's army attacking Divine Turtle Island, they didn't expect Haishi Lan to suddenly attack them. Because of this, their defensive strength was insufficient, allowing Haishi Lan and the others to easily capture the islands.
On the other hand, Laura and the others were also very relaxed. With Laura personally leading the army, they went straight to the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's camp outside the Profound Sky Sect. Although the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's camp had some experts, in front of Ding Chunming's group, they weren't enough. Additionally, the Sea Exploring Sect had a lot of experts. Although they didn't have a Supreme Elder, their strength wasn't weak.
On the other hand, the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's camp didn't have a Supreme Elder, so they didn't have any large artifacts. Naturally, Laura and the others were able to easily capture them.
Afterward, Laura commanded the army to directly attack the other small sects of the Black Heaven Sect Alliance. In addition, they had already captured many small sects and arranged a portion of their forces there. Therefore, it was very easy for them to eliminate the 100,000 strong army that the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance had left behind in the Black Heaven Sect Alliance. Many of the 100,000 strong army were directly killed, and only a few managed to escape.
After capturing the Profound Sky Sect Alliance's territory, Laura and the others didn't continue their attack. Instead, they began to command the people to set up formations in the captured areas. At this time, Zhao Hai was still in the South Sea commanding the large formation to deal with the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's army. Because of this, he couldn't come back.
Laura and the others' attainments in formations were very high, they weren't inferior to Zhao Hai at all. Therefore, under Laura's command, the formations were quickly set up. Like this, the Sea Exploring Sect used large scale formations to integrate the buffer zone and the Profound Sky Sect Alliance's territory, turning it into a huge territory. Moreover, the entire territory was covered with formations, making it impossible for anyone to snatch it away from them.
Then Laura commanded her army to enter the 39 Southern Isles and help Hai Stone recover all of them. Originally, Hai Stone had some difficulties in recovering the 39 Southern Isles. Although they were able to capture some of the main islands in the beginning, later on, the people on the main islands were already prepared. Because of this, Hai Stone's progress was somewhat slow. Hai Stone's army had already entered the 39 Southern Isles.
At this time, Laura led the army to reinforce them. Moreover, Laura controlled the green jade compass to break the formations on the main islands. With this, the battle in the South Sea no longer had any suspense. Before the battle in the 33 Northern Isles ended, they had already captured all of the 39 Southern Isles.
In fact, 20 days after the battle between Zhao Hai and the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance, Laura and the others had already captured all of the 39 Southern Isles. Later on, some of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's Cultivators managed to escape. Because of this, Laura and the others were able to directly take over the islands.
After capturing all of the 39 Southern Isles, Laura and the others immediately set out and commanded the people to set up formations on the islands. These formations were to be integrated with the formations on the Divine Turtle Island to form a larger formation. Then this formation would be integrated with the Sea Exploring Sect's formation. This would allow the entire Sea Exploring Sect to unite and form a huge territory.
This time, it wasn't only Laura who set out to set up formations in the South Sea. Meg, Megan, Cai 'er, Lizzy, Ryan, Berry, and Julie were also present.
For many years, Laura and the others couldn't come out of the Space. Therefore, they had been studying formations inside the Space. And this time, Zhao Hai had already discussed with them before setting up formations in the South Sea. Because of this, they already knew what formation Zhao Hai was going to set up. Naturally, there wouldn't be any problems with the arrangement of the formations. Because of this, Zhao Hai was relieved to have them set up formations in the South Sea.
In less than ten days, all the formations on the main islands of the South Sea were set up. Afterward, they began to set up formations on the other islands. At the same time, they began to set up formations in all the places in the Sea Exploring Sect that needed to be set up but had yet to be set up.
Once Zhao Hai subdued the 17 Supreme Elders, the war in the South Sea would finally come to an end. Although the formations in the Sea Exploring Sect haven't been integrated with the formations in the South Sea, there was no need to worry about it. This was because the 72 islands were now covered by the formations. Zhao Hai didn't need to worry about the formations in the Sea Exploring Sect.
At this time, Zhao Hai didn't need to hide anything. He directly brought Hu Yuan back to the Sea Exploring Sect's Headquarters. Since the Xia Family of the Great Desolate Island had already submitted to Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai didn't need to worry about other people knowing his identity. Even if the Xia Family knew, the Xia Family was just a small family under Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai didn't need to worry about them. It was only now that the people of the 72 islands knew about Zhao Hai's true identity.
However, what made Zhao Hai sad was that Xia Yu was killed in the battle with the Evil Ghost Sect. This made Zhao Hai surprised, he didn't think that Xia Yu would actually die.
However, with Xia Yu's death, nobody in the Xia Family knew about the secret of the Lost Soul Empire. This was also good. At this time, everyone in the Sea Exploring Sect knew that Zhao Hai was someone who ascended from the lower realms.
But even if they knew, they still wouldn't dare to resist Zhao Hai. This was because Zhao Hai's strength was already there. With their strength, if they dared to go against Zhao Hai, then they would only be courting death.
After Hu Yuan returned to the Sea Exploring Sect, Zhao Hai put down the last of his worries. Because of this, he called Laura and the others who were in the middle of arranging formations as well as Jie Yiming and the others who were cleaning up the battlefield to the Sea Exploring Sect's headquarters. They wanted to summarize the recent results and then discuss the future of the Sea Exploring Sect.
At present, the Sea Exploring Sect's strength wasn't any worse than other sects. In fact, they were even stronger than some sects. This was because their territory was very big. The 72 islands in the South Sea were very big. However, because of their manpower and the fact that they were located in the South Sea, their strength couldn't be compared to other sects. Although the buffer zone wasn't big, it wasn't small either. Their territory was comparable to a Great Sect. The Profound Sky Sect Alliance's territory wasn't small either. This was because they were an alliance and not a single sect. Although each sect wasn't very big, their combined area was very big.
In addition to the Sword Tomb and the Iron Buddha Temple, there weren't many places in the Sword Spiritual Realm that could compare with the Sea Exploring Sect in terms of territory.
Originally, the Sea Exploring Sect wasn't a top-notch sect. This was because they only had one expert, Zhao Hai. They didn't have any other Supreme Elders. Moreover, they didn't have a lot of ordinary experts. But after the war, the 33 islands were merged with the Sea Exploring Sect. This caused the Sea Exploring Sect's middle level experts to increase. And with the addition of 17 Supreme Elders that Zhao Hai subdued, the Sea Exploring Sect became a top-notch existence in the Sword Spirit Realm. Aside from some sects with deep backgrounds, the Sea Exploring Sect was already stronger than most sects. At this point, even if the Sea Exploring Sect were to fight the Myriad Buddhas Temple, they wouldn't necessarily suffer a loss. Although the Sea Exploring Sect's background might not be as good as the Myriad Buddhas Temple, with their large formations, it was impossible for the Myriad Buddhas Temple to deal with them.
It could be said that the Sea Exploring Sect had truly become one of the top forces in the Sword Spirit Realm. Now, anyone who wanted to deal with the Sea Exploring Sect would have to think twice, just like how everyone wanted to deal with the Myriad Buddhas Temple.
Back then, the Myriad Buddhas Temple led the other sects in the Sword Spirit Realm to deal with the Myriad Buddhas Sect. It took a lot of effort. If it wasn't for Zhao Hai breaking the Myriad Swords Sect's defensive formation, everyone would have to pay a heavy price to deal with the Myriad Swords Sect.
The Sea Exploring Sect's strongest point happened to be formations. Zhao Hai was good at breaking and using formations. This was something that everyone in the Sword Spirit Realm knew. Therefore, it was even more difficult for the other sects to deal with the Sea Exploring Sect.
It was precisely because of this change in the Sea Exploring Sect that Zhao Hai decided to gather everyone in the sect to discuss the future direction of the sect.
Although the Sea Exploring Sect's strength had increased, it shouldn't be forgotten that their enemies still existed. Although they dealt with more than a million people from the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance, the alliance was made up of half of the Sword Spirit Realm's sects. The Sea Exploring Sect thought that sending so many troops would be enough to deal with the South Sea Alliance. However, they didn't expect that Zhao Hai would seize the opportunity and turn the tables in one fell swoop. Moreover, he dealt with more than a million people in one fell swoop. However, the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance was made up of more than a hundred large and small sects. On average, the losses of these sects weren't very big. The reason why the Sea Exploring Sect didn't send too many troops was because the large sects didn't want to go all out. Secondly, the medium sects didn't dare to let the large sects send too many troops. If the large sects sent too many troops, then after taking over the South Sea Alliance, the large sects would certainly use this as an excuse to ask for more benefits. At that time, the medium sects wouldn't be able to get any benefits. Therefore, they didn't dare to let the large sects send too many troops.
However, they didn't expect that their little calculations would be used by Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai was able to deal with more than a million people in one fell swoop because they didn't send too many troops. It wasn't enough to eliminate the Sea Exploring Sect, allowing Zhao Hai to seize the opportunity.
Now that Zhao Hai has finished integrating the large formations of the Sea Exploring Sect, it wouldn't be easy for the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance to deal with the Sea Exploring Sect. But at the same time, the Sea Exploring Sect was also facing the retaliation of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. Therefore, this matter needed to be discussed.
In addition to the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance, the other large sects that didn't participate in the war also had to be on guard. Although these large sects didn't deal with the Sea Exploring Sect, they had been coveting the South Sea for a long time. They originally thought that after the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance took over the South Sea, they would deal with the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. However, they didn't expect that in just a month, the situation would change drastically. The Sea Exploring Sect actually flipped the cards. Not only did they clean up the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's army, but they also turned the former South Sea Exploring Sect into the current Sea Exploring Sect. This was something that no one had expected.
Because they hadn't expected this, they naturally didn't react. This allowed the Sea Exploring Sect to have a one-month buffer period to set up formations all over the Sea Exploring Sect. At the same time, this allowed the Sea Exploring Sect to become one of the top forces in the Sword Spirit Boundary.
However, this wasn't something that they were happy to see. The people of the various large sects were very clear that most of the good things and cultivation resources in the Sword Spirit Boundary were controlled by the various large sects. The large sects monopolized 70% of the resources in the Sword Spirit Boundary, while the remaining 30% was divided among the small and medium-sized sects. Any large sect would have to take a share of this 70%. Originally, the Sea Exploring Sect wasn't considered a top force, so they naturally didn't get a share of this cake. However, now that the Sea Exploring Sect had become the top force in the Sword Spirit Boundary, they naturally had to get a share. However, there was a problem. If the Sea Exploring Sect got a share, the others would get a smaller share. This was something that no large sect wanted to see.
It was precisely because of this reason that the rise of the Sea Exploring Sect had touched the interests of the large sects. It was hard to say what the large sects would do. Perhaps they would support the Evil Ghost Sect to deal with the Sea Exploring Sect. When that time came, the Sea Exploring Sect wouldn't just be facing half of the Sword Spirit Boundary and the Demon Sword Sect.
