Grandmaster Hui Neng looked at Zhao Hai, then he smiled faintly and said, "Alright, then I'll be frank. Because of the war with the Evil Ghost Sect in the South Sea, the free trade zone has been closed for a long time. Our Sects have been feeling inconvenienced. Therefore, I came here on behalf of our Sects to ask Sect Master Jian, when will the free trade zone be opened? We still want to trade with you."
When Zhao Hai heard Master Hui Neng's words, he immediately understood what he meant. He knew that Master Hui Neng came this time to express his goodwill. Don't think that he was just asking when the Free Trade Zone would open. In fact, he wanted to make a deal with Zhao Hai. This was a sign of goodwill.
When Zhao Hai heard Grandmaster Hui Neng, he felt relieved. He looked at Grandmaster Hui Neng and said, "So Grandmaster Hui Neng is talking about this. That's simple, we just need to wait for a while before the free trade zone can be opened. You should know that we just went through a war, so we need to rest. Moreover, I'm afraid that the Evil Ghost Sect wouldn't let us off so easily. Therefore, we still need some time."
Grandmaster Hui Neng nodded and said, "That's for the best. I hope that Sect Master Jian can restore the free trade zone as soon as possible. If Sect Master Jian restores the free trade zone, then please inform us immediately."
Zhao Hai quickly replied, "Of course, of course. Grandmaster Hui Neng can rest assured."
Grandmaster Hui Neng nodded, then he said, "Alright, then we won't disturb Sect Master Jian any longer. Farewell." Then he stood up. Daoist Priest Tian Xuan and the others also stood up. Although they didn't speak, their appearance represented their Sects' attitude.
After Zhao Hai sent Grandmaster Hui Neng and the others off, Wen Wenhai went to Zhao Hai's side and said, "Boss, are they here to express their goodwill?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, they're here to express their goodwill. Hehe, it seems like they also know that our Sea Exploring Sect is now in an invincible position. Right, is there any news from the Evil Ghost Sect?"
Wen Wenhai nodded and said, "Yes, the alliance of the Evil Ghost Sect is now in chaos. A big sect like the Evil Ghost Sect naturally can't take this lying down and wants to fight us to the end. However, some other sects can't bear such a loss, especially some small sects. They can't bear it anymore. This time, among more than one million people, the number of people they sent is almost the same as the Evil Ghost Sect. For a big sect like the Evil Ghost Sect, even if they send ten or twenty thousand people to attack us, it won't be a big deal even if we kill all of them. But for those small sects, it's their orders. Therefore, those small sects don't want to participate in this matter anymore."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "That's the effect I want. Let's see, the smaller sects will still participate in the war. However, even if they send troops, they wouldn't send as many troops as the Great Sects. The Great Sects would also seek benefits. This is their usual method. It must be said that we've helped the Great Sects. After this, I'm afraid half of the Sword Spirit Realm would be reshuffled." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "That's the effect I want.
Wen Wenhai nodded and said, "Right, if the smaller Sects lose more people, their strength will decline once again. At that time, even if the Big Sects suffer losses, they will still have the ability to swallow the smaller Sects. In the end, the smaller Sects will be the ones to suffer losses."
"Don't worry about them. If they want to deal with our Sea Exploring Sect, they will have to pay the price. Now, it's time for them to pay the price. Those Big Sects don't need to worry, I will deal with them sooner or later."
Wen Wenhai smiled faintly and didn't say anything. He believed in Zhao Hai's words. This was because from the time he met Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai's words had all come true.
Zhao Hai turned his head to Wen Wenhai and said, "What worries me is the Demon Sword Sect. Nobody knows where the Demon Sword Sect is located. This is really strange. How can we not find the Demon Sword Sect's Sect Master?"
Wen Wenhai said in a deep voice, "The Demon Sword Sect has always been very mysterious. However, I heard that the Demon Sword Sect is located in a secret realm. I don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, then it's not surprising that no one knows about the Demon Sword Sect's Sovereign."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "If this is the case, then it's troublesome. The people of the Demon Sword Sect are very good at stealth. Moreover, their Killing Sword Dao is very overbearing. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to roam around the Sword Spirit World for so many years. If we are targeted by them in the future, then it would be very troublesome."
Wen Wenhai replied, "If we are targeted by them, then it would be very troublesome. Boss, what should we do?"
Zhao Hai replied, "It's not easy. Up until now, we still haven't caught any captives from the Demon Sword Sect. We also don't know where the Demon Sword Sect is located. Although I searched the Demon Blood Sword's soul, there was no way to enter the Demon Sword Sect. He only knows that there is a transmission formation in a place that can enter the Demon Sword Sect. However, there are people guarding it. If they find out that it's not someone from the Demon Sword Sect, then they would immediately destroy the transmission formation. Therefore, it's not easy to find the Demon Sword Sect."
Wen Wenhai didn't say anything, so Zhao Hai continued, "We must deal with the Demon Sword Sect, but we can talk about it later. First, we need to do what we can do right now. What I said before about the defense was just a lie. First, we need to digest the people from the 33 islands. These people are used to being free and unrestrained. Moreover, some of them might think that we've schemed against them and might be dissatisfied with us. What we need to do is to digest them and have them become part of our Sea Exploring Sect. Everything else can be discussed later."
Wen Wenhai nodded and said, "Yes, Boss. You can rest assured. We've done this kind of thing a lot in the past. Now that more and more people from the Lost Soul Empire are coming up, we have a lot of help. It's much easier for us to do things."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, in the near future, digest the people of the Southern Sea. If you encounter something that you can't handle, then immediately tell me. I'll personally deal with it."
"Boss, there's no need for you to take action. Right now, there's no one in the Southern Sea who dares to go against you. You subdued seventeen Supreme Elders before. They're all afraid of you."
Zhao Hai said, "What I want is complete integration. I don't want them to go against us in secret. We can't immediately deprive the Island Lords of the Southern Sea of their power. Otherwise, it might lead to a backlash. Therefore, we must be careful in handling this matter."
Wen Wenhai nodded. Then Wen Wenhai continued, "Like Jie Yiming and Gui Xin Yu, we can give them some benefits. We can also give them some authority. As for those who aren't convinced, we can suppress them." Wen Wenhai nodded. Then he said, "That's right.
Wen Wenhai nodded, then Zhao Hai continued, "Also, there's no need to be polite to the people from the 39 Southern Isles who surrendered. First, they surrendered to the 33 Southern Isles, then they surrendered to the Evil Spirit Alliance, and now they've surrendered again. These people have completely lost their backbone. If there's any trouble in the future, then they might just surrender again. Therefore, there's no need to be polite to them, just deal with them first."
Wen Wenhai nodded, then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Boss, what about those from the Malevolent Soul Sect who surrendered?"
Zhao Hai replied, "Divide them up and select those from small sects. We can give them appropriate benefits. When they were in their original sects, they didn't necessarily receive good treatment. If we treat them well, then they might sincerely follow us. As for those from large sects, observe them for a while. Give each of them an identity token. If they dare to act recklessly, then deal with them directly." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
Wen Wenhai nodded, then he said, "At this time, Daoist Tiger and the others are still in the Sword Tomb. However, I heard that they've adapted very well. They're now completely treating themselves as part of the Sea Exploring Sect. Especially Daoist Tiger, he's doing very well."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Although Daoist Tiger looks rough, he's actually a sensible person. He knows that since he surrendered to us, then he's now part of the Sea Exploring Sect. Therefore, he's very clear about his position. I also heard that his strength has improved recently. This is good news. We can give the people of the Profound Sky Sect some benefits."
Wen Wenhai nodded, then he said, "If the free trade zone reopens, then we can exchange for some supplies. Recently, our supplies have been consumed very quickly."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to worry about that. The South Sea is already in our hands. We can use the things in the South Sea to exchange for supplies in the future."
Wen Wenhai nodded. He also knew that there was no need to worry about supplies. This was because ever since he met Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai has never been worried about supplies. In this regard, Wen Wenhai wasn't too worried. He was just casually talking about it.
Zhao Hai said, "Take care of this place and digest the South Sea as soon as possible. I'll go arrange the formations. As long as the formations are arranged, the South Sea won't be able to cause any trouble."
Wen Wenhai nodded. Then Zhao Hai turned around and left. At this time, he still had a lot of formations to arrange. He didn't have much time to waste. As for the matter of digesting the South Sea and turning it into the Sea Exploration Sect, Wen Wenhai could handle it. This wasn't his first time doing this, so he was already familiar with it.
For the next few days, Zhao Hai was busy with the formations. These formations were very important to them, so Zhao Hai had to personally oversee them. The materials used were also the best. However, as long as the integration of the formations was complete, then these formations wouldn't be as important. It was impossible for them to appear. As long as these formations were destroyed, then the Sea Exploring Sect and the South Sea would be separated. This was absolutely impossible. Zhao Hai was the only one who could do this.
Although Zhao Hai has been building formations, he was still paying attention to the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. Fortunately, he had already established his own intelligence network when he was in the Poison Dragon Sect. At this time, this intelligence network had already covered the entire Demon Sect. Therefore, Zhao Hai was very clear about the Evil Ghost Sect's situation.
At this time, the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance was in the midst of a new division of benefits. As long as they were done, they would immediately attack the Sea Exploration Sect. At this time, the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance was in the process of allocating resources. Although they had yet to complete the division of benefits, it seems like a fight was inevitable. Therefore, Zhao Hai was prepared.
At the same time, the Sea Exploration Sect was also undergoing changes. It wouldn't be easy for them to digest the South Sea. The 72 islands of the South Sea were very xenophobic. This was related to their previous confrontation with the sects of the Sword Spirit Domain. In their minds, the sects of the Sword Spirit Domain were their enemies. Naturally, they would reject them.
Fortunately, the Sea Exploration Sect had been allies with them for a long time. Moreover, they had helped the Sea Exploration Sect many times. Therefore, the Sea Exploration Sect was regarded as one of their own. But even so, it wasn't easy to make them completely regard themselves as part of the Sea Exploration Sect. At the very least, it would be impossible to do so in a short period of time.
What Wen Wenhai could do right now wasn't to make the people of the South Sea think of him as a member of the Sea Exploration Sect. This required a process. What he needed to do right now was to make sure that the people of the South Sea wouldn't be disgusted with the Sea Exploration Sect. He needed to make them understand that once they join the Sea Exploration Sect, they would be treated equally and not discriminated against.
As for those who were disgusted with the Sea Exploration Sect, Zhao Hai needed to gather them together and prevent them from coming in contact with outsiders as much as possible. This was because these people's emotions would quickly affect the people around them. If these people were to do something bad in the future, then Zhao Hai would be able to deal with them directly. This would make things a lot easier.
Aside from the South Sea, there were also the surrendered cultivators of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. According to Zhao Hai's instructions, Wen Wenhai separated the surrendered cultivators of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. The people of the small sects were gathered together, while the people of the large sects were gathered together. Everyone was given an identity card and cultivation materials. Naturally, they hadn't been given their own files yet, nor had they been given the most suitable cultivation method for them.
Even so, the disciples of the smaller sects felt flattered. In their opinion, it would already be good enough if they weren't executed. How could they be treated so well? However, what the Scouring Sea Sect did was beyond their expectations. This made them feel very grateful to the Scouring Sea Sect. Some of them even directly expressed their approval of the Scouring Sea Sect. Such a fast speed was somewhat beyond Wen Wenhai's expectations.
