Grandmaster Hui De sat calmly in the main hall of the Wanfo Temple. Several people were sitting opposite him. The leader was Daoist Tian Xuan. Daoist Tian Xuan represented the Tianyi Dao Sect. The others also represented the other major sects. There were even representatives of the Devil Sects. Grandmaster Hui Neng was sitting behind Grandmaster Hui De.
Master Hui Neng's face was still a little dazed because the news he received was too shocking. He still hadn't recovered from it.
Grandmaster Hui De didn't have any reaction. He calmly looked at Daoist Tian Xuan and the others and said, "Daoist Tian Xuan, I think everyone knows why I invited everyone here this time. It's for the matter of the South China Sea Alliance. I've already received the news. Although the South China Sea Alliance hasn't been announced yet, it's certain that the South China Sea Alliance no longer exists. The 33 Islands of the South China Sea and the Black Sky Sect Alliance have all merged into the Scouring Sea Sect. Now, there's only one Scouring Sea Sect in the South China Sea. "
When Grandmaster Hui De said this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Then, they all gasped. Daoist Tian Xuan's expression changed. He really didn't know about the news that Grandmaster Hui De said.
Grandmaster Hui De glanced at them and said, "This news isn't much. What really surprised me is that the Evil Ghost Sect took out 18 Supreme Elders from various sects. Except for Mo Xuejian who was killed by Saber9 because he rebelled against him, the other 17 Supreme Elders were all trapped by Zhao Hai in the great formation. They exhausted their spirit qi and had no choice but to surrender to Saber9. Now, Saber9 has planted a soul mark in their bodies and they will forever submit to Saber9!"
Boom! This news was like a clap of thunder that directly exploded in everyone's ears, making them dizzy. Although the news of the South China Sea Alliance merging into the Scouring Sea Sect was shocking, Daoist Tian Xuan and the others were still mentally prepared. This was because when the Evil Ghost Sect attacked the South China Sea Alliance, the Black Sky Sect Alliance was first destroyed. Then, the Black Sky Sect rebelled and the Sect Master of the Black Sky Sect was killed. The people of the Black Sky Sect followed the Scouring Sea Sect and fled to the Scouring Sea Sect's territory.
As for the Thirty-Three Islands of the South Sea, they had been suppressed by the Evil Ghost Sect and had lost more than half of their territory. They were about to fall apart and be destroyed.
Compared to the two of them, the Scouring Sea Sect's performance had been very good. First, they supported the Profound Sky Sect Alliance. When the Profound Sky Sect Alliance was destroyed, they saved the majority of the Profound Sky Sect Alliance's people and safely retreated from the Profound Sky Sect Alliance. Then, they counterattacked and took back half of the Profound Sky Sect Alliance's territory. It could be said that their performance was much better than the Profound Sky Sect Alliance and the Thirty-three Oceanic Islands of the Southern Sea. It was expected that the Profound Sky Sect Alliance and the Thirty-three Oceanic Islands of the Southern Sea would merge into the Scouring Sea Sect. Although they were surprised, they were not shocked.
But now, they heard that Zhao Hai had subdued 17 Supreme Elders. This was a huge shock to them. A Supreme Elder was a pillar of the Sect, a pillar that could hold up the sky. They were existences that could stabilize the Sect.
The reason why everyone thought that the Southern Sea Alliance wasn't the top force in the Sword Spirit Boundary was because they didn't have a single Supreme Elder. Although Zhao Hai's strength became more and more powerful and he had the strength of a Supreme Elder, he was only one person. It was impossible for him to defend the entire Southern Sea. Therefore, everyone didn't regard the Southern Sea Alliance as the top force in the Sword Spirit Boundary.
But now, it was different. Zhao Hai had subdued seventeen Supreme Elders. This was really shocking. This was equivalent to the Scouring Sea Sect having strength comparable to the major sects. How could they not be shocked?
Daoist Tianxuan immediately said, "Is what Grandmaster said true? You're not joking? "
Grandmaster Hui De shook his head and said, "I'm telling the truth, I'm not joking at all. This information came from our spy in the Iron Buddha Temple. This spy is an inner disciple of the Iron Buddha Temple. He's now a famous expert in the Iron Buddha Temple. If it wasn't for his status, he wouldn't have known about this. Therefore, this information is absolutely true, there's no need to doubt it."
* Buzz! * The hall was in chaos. Even Daoist Tianxuan and the other powerful elders of the major sects, who had strong mental fortitude, couldn't help but feel shocked when they heard the news. They began to discuss among themselves. It was obvious how big of a shock this news had given them.
After a moment of uproar, everyone in the hall quieted down. This news was too shocking, and they needed to digest it properly.
Grandmaster Hui De glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Let's not talk about Saber9 subduing the seventeen grand elders for now. Let's talk about the formation that trapped the grand elders and annihilated the Evil Spirit Sect Alliance's million-strong army. Has anyone heard of such a formation?"
Upon hearing Grandmaster Hui De, everyone became silent. Just like what Grandmaster Hui De said, they really haven't heard of this formation. Everyone present was an expert, so they had some understanding of formations. Formations were a skill that cultivators needed to learn. It's just that some people are better at it while some people are worse at it.
Because they knew a little about formations, they were very surprised. This was because they knew that formations also have a bearing capacity. It's like a car, it can only carry ten tons of cargo. If you force it to carry a hundred tons, then the car would immediately fall apart.
As for formations that they knew, very few of them could withstand the attack of more than a million people, let alone annihilating more than a million people. They had never heard of such a formation.
Grandmaster Hui De said in a deep voice, "Right now, the Scouring Sea Sect has control over the entire South Sea and their headquarters. With their ability to construct formations, these two places can be said to be impregnable. Coupled with the Scouring Sea Sect's current strength, whether we're willing or not, the Scouring Sea Sect is one of the top forces in the Sword Spirit Boundary."
Everyone was silent. To be honest, this wasn't good news for them. The rise of the Sea Exploration Sect was too fast. It was so fast that they couldn't react.
Grandmaster Hui De looked at everyone and said, "Regarding the Sea Exploring Sect, we have two options. First, we can suppress them. After all, they are a newly established Great Sect. Moreover, they have the Evil Ghost Alliance as their enemy. We can join forces with the Evil Ghost Alliance to suppress them. However, I don't recommend everyone to do this because we might not be able to suppress the Sea Exploring Sect. The Sea Exploring Sect has the South Sea in their hands. They don't lack cultivation resources. Moreover, they have a great formation in their hands. Suppressing them won't be easy.
Everyone nodded. What they feared the most was the formation of the Sea Exploring Sect. The formation was just too strong. If they wanted to suppress the Sea Exploring Sect, then they would have to break the formation first. This was almost impossible. If they wanted to attack the Sea Exploring Sect, then it would be impossible. The Sea Exploring Sect had a huge territory and was backed by the South Sea. They simply didn't need to worry about resources. Suppressing the Sea Exploring Sect would be impossible.
Grandmaster Hui De continued, "The second option is to befriend them. Everyone knows that the reason why the Evil Ghost Alliance wants to deal with the Sea Exploration Sect is related to the Demon Sword Sect. In other words, Sect Master Jianjiu's information is correct. The Demon Sword Sect is indeed plotting against the Sword Spirit Boundary. Naturally, the people who destroyed the Iron Buddha Temple were from the Demon Sword Sect. Therefore, we have to pay attention to Sect Master Jianjiu's words."
Daoist Tianxuan and the others nodded. They knew that the Demon Sword Sect was involved in dealing with the Sea Exploration Sect. Naturally, they also knew that Zhao Hai wasn't lying. But to be honest, the Demon Sword Sect and the Evil Ghost Sect had joined forces. They were very powerful. If they really went to war with the other party, then it would be a war that would affect the entire Sword Spirit Boundary. This wasn't something they wanted to see.
Daoist Tianxuan opened his mouth and said, "Grandmaster Hui De, if we really form an alliance with the Sea Exploration Sect, then I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat the Evil Ghost Sect in a short time. At that time, it would lead to a war in the entire Sword Spirit Boundary. At that time, it would be a disaster for the entire Sword Spirit Boundary."
Everyone nodded. Then Grandmaster Hui De said, "I didn't say that we have to go to war with the Evil Ghost Sect just because we have a good relationship with the Sea Exploration Sect. In this period of time, the free trade zone of the Sea Exploration Sect has been closed. Our transactions have been affected to a certain extent. I think we can join forces and trade with the Sea Exploration Sect. After all, the South Sea has some materials that we need."
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood what Grandmaster Hui De meant. Their relationship with the Sea Exploration Sect didn't mean that they would directly declare war on the Evil Ghost Sect. Instead, they could trade with the Sea Exploration Sect and support them in terms of materials. This way, they would have a good relationship with the Sea Exploration Sect without going to war with the Evil Ghost Sect. If the Evil Ghost Sect really dares to go to war with them, then they wouldn't be polite.
The reason why they didn't want to go to war with the Evil Ghost Sect was because they felt that the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance was very strong. It would be very difficult for them to eliminate the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. If they couldn't eliminate the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance, then the benefits they would get would be very small. Therefore, they didn't want to go to war with the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance.
On the other hand, trading with the Sea Exploration Sect would only benefit them. Because of this, everyone was very interested in Grandmaster Hui De's proposal.
Of course, they knew that doing so would offend the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance as well as the Demon Sword Sect. However, they weren't afraid of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance nor the Demon Sword Sect. Offending them was no big deal. It must be said that the reason why the Sea Exploring Sect suddenly became strong was because of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. If the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance didn't attack the Sea Exploring Sect, then the Sea Exploring Sect wouldn't have become strong so quickly. Now, the Sword Spirit Boundary had another peak sect that wanted to share the benefits with them. This made the Sea Exploring Sect very unhappy. If the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's people were to talk nonsense with them, then they wouldn't be polite.
