Regardless of whether the Demon Sword Sect was doubting themselves or not, the Sea Exploring Sect was now in a different state. Zhao Hai and the others used this opportunity to clean up the Evil Ghost Sect. However, Zhao Hai didn't allow them to expand. Although the Sea Exploring Sect had the strength to do so, Zhao Hai didn't allow them to do so.
Zhao Hai was very clear that they had become the focus of the entire Sword Spirit Realm. If they were to expand, then the other sects wouldn't just stand by and watch. When the time comes, the unlucky ones would be the Sea Exploring Sect. This was one of the reasons.
Another reason was that although the Scouring Sea Sect had annexed the Black Sky Sect Alliance and the 72 Islands of the South Sea, they hadn't completely digested these two places yet. Thus, the people of these two places completely regarded them as disciples of the Scouring Sea Sect. In other words, although they had expanded, their foundation was somewhat unstable. Their internal situation hadn't been completely stabilized yet. At this time, rushing to expand outward was definitely not a good thing.
It was precisely because of this reason that Zhao Hai couldn't expand. They needed to consolidate their internal situation. This way, there wouldn't be a second voice in the Sea Exploring Sect. This way, their foundation would be stable, and no one would oppose them in the future.
Because of this idea, after Zhao Hai dealt with the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's attack, he immediately began to consolidate the internal situation.
The disciples of the various sects would be redistributed. All disciples would be re-registered. Everyone would start to establish their records. All disciples would be assigned to different halls. Everything would be redone.
While Zhao Hai was arranging these matters, Master Hui Neng suddenly arrived. When Zhao Hai heard that Master Hui Neng came, he was surprised. However, he still invited Master Hui Neng to his study.
Zhao Hai greeted Master Hui Neng at the door of the study. When he saw Master Hui Neng, Zhao Hai immediately cupped his fist and said, "Greetings, Master Hui Neng. How come Master Hui Neng has time to visit the Sea Exploring Sect today? Please come in. "
Master Hui Neng also bowed towards Zhao Hai, then he smiled and said, "Sect Master Jian is too polite, please." Then the two entered Zhao Hai's study.
After arriving at the study room, the two sat down as a disciple served them tea. Zhao Hai didn't touch the tea, instead, he looked at Grandmaster Hui Neng and smiled, "Grandmaster Hui Neng, why did you come this time? Please speak frankly. "
Grandmaster Hui Neng looked at Zhao Hai, then he smiled faintly and said, "I didn't come to the Scouring Sea Sect for anything. It's just that the Scouring Sea Sect recently won a battle. Because of this, I came to congratulate Sect Master Jian. The battle was beautiful, it really opened my eyes."
Zhao Hai didn't believe that Master Hui Neng only came to congratulate him. However, he didn't say anything, he just smiled and said, "Master Hui Neng is overpraising me. It's nothing more than relying on formations. If we were to face the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance head-on, then I'm afraid my Sea Exploring Sect would have already been destroyed."
Master Hui Neng smiled faintly and said, "Formations are an important method for cultivators. It's really inconceivable that the Ninth Sword Sect could use formations to this degree. This time, I came to congratulate Sect Master Jian. I believe that after this, the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance wouldn't provoke the Sea Exploring Sect. I just don't know if the Sea Exploring Sect will retaliate against the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance."
When Zhao Hai heard Master Hui Neng's words, he understood that Master Hui Neng came to sound him out. He wanted to see if he would deal with the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. If he wanted to deal with the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance, then the Sword Spirit World wouldn't be peaceful. It would certainly affect the Myriad Buddha Temple and the other great sects.
One must know that the Sword Spirit Realm wasn't peaceful right now. Not to mention the war with the Evil Ghost Sect, there was also the Demon Realm. Although the Great Sects of the Demon Realm didn't participate in the operation against the Sea Exploring Sect, they weren't idle either. Ever since Zhao Hai used the Iron Buddha Temple to inform the Great Sects of the Demon Realm's development, the Great Sects began to pay attention to the Demon Realm's movements. The Great Sects of the Demon Realm were indeed expanding. It was impossible for them to expand for no reason. Therefore, the Great Sects began to pay more attention to the Demon Realm.
In addition to the emergence of the Demon Sword Sect, the Demon Sword Sect was definitely a variable in the Sword Spirit World. The great sects of the Sword Spirit World hadn't been able to find the location of the Demon Sword Sect. They could only see the successor of the Demon Sword Sect walking around the Sword Spirit World. But this time, the Demon Sword Sect abnormally participated in the operation against the Sea Exploring Sect. It could be seen that the Demon Sword Sect was unwilling to be left alone. If the Demon Sword Sect also participated in the Sword Spirit World, then the situation of the Sword Spirit World would become even more complicated.
The Scouring Sea Sect was now a Great Sect of the Sword Spirit Realm. Each and every move of theirs would affect the situation of the Sword Spirit Realm. If the Scouring Sea Sect wanted to retaliate against the Evil Ghost Sect, then the situation of the Sword Spirit Realm would become even more complicated and unpredictable. Because of this, Grandmaster Hui Neng came today to see what Zhao Hai's next step would be. If Zhao Hai really wanted to retaliate against the Evil Ghost Sect, then the Sword Spirit Realm would need to make arrangements in advance in order to prevent the situation from getting out of hand. If Zhao Hai really wanted to retaliate against the Evil Ghost Sect, then the Sword Spirit Realm's situation would become even more complicated. Because of this, Grandmaster Hui Neng came today to see what Zhao Hai would do next.
Zhao Hai looked at Grandmaster Hui Neng, then he smiled faintly and said, "Grandmaster Hui Neng is asking about this. To tell you the truth, I really want to retaliate against the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. The Evil Ghost Sect Alliance provoked trouble for no reason and attacked our South Sea Alliance, causing us to suffer heavy losses. Although it seems like the Sea Exploring Sect was the one who benefited in the end, we also lost a lot of disciples in these attacks. In addition to the losses suffered by the 33 Oceanic Islands and the Profound Sky Sect Alliance, this has caused us to suffer heavy losses. If we didn't rely on the formation to repel them in the end, then I'm afraid that we would be in even more trouble.
So even if we wanted to retaliate, we wouldn't be able to retaliate. "When Grandmaster Hui Neng heard Zhao Hai, he nodded and said," So that's how it is. This time, the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance used the ruins of Sky City as an excuse to attack the South Sea. Our Myriad Buddha Temple also objected at that time, but the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance didn't listen and insisted on going their own way. If Sect Master Jian needs anything, then please don't hesitate to ask.
If Grandmaster Hui Neng said this, then Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "Grandmaster Hui Neng is too polite. We really don't need anything. As long as Grandmaster Hui Neng doesn't withdraw from the free trade zone, then everything will be fine."
"Hahaha, how could that be? The free trade zone is an important place for us. How could we withdraw? Sect Master Jian can rest assured about this."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It's good that you don't withdraw. I can guarantee that no matter if the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance attacks us or not, the free trade zone won't be affected. Grandmaster Hui Neng can rest assured. Just like this time, when the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance attacked us, we didn't do anything to their shops in the free trade zone. This is enough to show our sincerity."
Grandmaster Hui Neng nodded, then he said with a face full of praise, "Sect Master Jian, I have to say that I'm full of admiration. Sect Master Jian's magnanimity really makes this old monk admire you."
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "From the very beginning, the Free Trade Zone was established in order for the Sword Spirit Realm to have a fair trade with each other. Although the Free Trade Zone was established in the Sea Exploring Sect's territory, we only have the right to manage it. We don't have the authority to dispose of it as we please. The Free Trade Zone belongs to all the Sects. I've already said this when the Free Trade Zone was established, and I still stand by my words." Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "The Free Trade Zone is established in the Sword Spirit Realm.
Grandmaster Hui Neng nodded and said, "Alright, I'm relieved to hear Sect Master Jian's words. Sect Master Jian, our Myriad Buddha Temple has always been a friend of the Sea Exploring Sect. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. If the Myriad Buddha Temple can help, we definitely won't refuse."
Zhao Hai thanked Grandmaster Hui Neng once again. Then Grandmaster Hui Neng left. Zhao Hai sent Grandmaster Hui Neng to the door before he stood there and watched Grandmaster Hui Neng leave.
After Grandmaster Hui Neng left, Laura and the others came out of the study and went to Zhao Hai's side. Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, are we really not going to do anything?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, we shouldn't do anything. Our performance in the battle with the Evil Ghost Sect has made the entire Sword Spirit Realm focus on us. For us, this isn't a good thing. Every move we make will attract the attention of the Great Sects. Therefore, it's best for us to do nothing. Moreover, I suspect that the Demon Sword Sect wouldn't let us off easily." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
"What can the Demon Sword Sect do? I'm afraid they can't even protect themselves right now. The Evil Ghost Sect Alliance is supported by them. Now that the various sects of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance have suffered such heavy losses, I'm afraid that those sects will no longer listen to them. With the strength of a single sect, it will be even more difficult for them to deal with us. What do we have to worry about? "
"Don't forget, we still have two enclaves. Although the defensive formations of the Sword Tomb and the Iron Buddha Temple are good, the Demon Sword Sect still has people who can comprehend the power of laws. Although it's the most basic of laws, if they go all out to deal with those two places, it would be enough to give us a headache. What do you think?"
Laura thought for a moment, then she nodded and said, "It's indeed a headache. The Sword Tomb in the Iron Buddha Temple isn't small, and the formations we arranged are also good. However, it's too far away from us. If we want to rely on the formations there to block the Demon Sword Sect's attack, it would be very troublesome. Brother Hai, what do you think we should do?"
Zhao Hai replied, "Have the Supreme Elders prepare to support those two places at any time. We'll strengthen the formations of those two places. This way, we can guarantee their safety. As long as those two places can block the experts of the Demon Sword Sect for a short while, we can send people to support them. I don't believe that the Demon Sword Sect has that many experts." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
Laura nodded and said, "It seems like we can only do this. Brother Hai, if you say that you want to retaliate against the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance, what would Master Hui Neng do? Would he oppose it? "
After all, our Sea Exploring Sect isn't easy to provoke. The Evil Ghost Sect Alliance attacked us first, so it's only right that we retaliate. Nobody can say anything about it. If they try to stop us, then they would become hostile towards us. This is something they can think of, so they wouldn't try to stop us. They can only persuade us. If they can't persuade us, then they can only make their own preparations to deal with the chaotic situation. "
"I think so as well. If the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance attacked us and didn't allow us to fight back, then they would be too overbearing. Fortunately, we don't want to fight back right now. Right, Brother Hai, did we find the Demon Sword Sect's headquarters? If we can find their headquarters, then we can deal with them in the future. "
"Haha, you haven't returned to the Space for a long time, so naturally you don't know. During the last war, I had already placed silver needles on the bodies of the Supreme Elders of the Demon Sword Sect. I already know about their headquarters, it's in a secret realm. Moreover, the environment of the secret realm is very good. Even if they don't recruit disciples from outside, they can still maintain the operations of the Demon Sword Sect. If we can take that place, then we would have another secret base. This is a good thing. However, the strength of the Demon Sword Sect cannot be underestimated. With our current strength, it's not suitable for us to attack them, otherwise, the losses would be very heavy."
"Does the Demon Sword Sect really have that many experts?"
"They do indeed have a lot of experts. The most important thing is that the Demon Sword Sect has been operating in that Secret Realm for many years. The people inside that Secret Realm are all from the Demon Sword Sect. Moreover, almost all of them are cultivators. The strength of the official disciples of the Demon Sword Sect can reach the peak of our inner disciples. If one becomes an inner disciple, then their strength would be even stronger. Therefore, if we want to deal with them now, we must go all out. Moreover, we must be prepared for both sides to suffer losses. Therefore, I won't do that right now. As long as we stabilize the South Sea and develop for a while, then we can take over the Demon Sword Sect without any problems."
"Then, we can develop in peace for a while. Nothing will be done? "
"We do need to develop peacefully, but it's hard to say whether the situation will allow us to develop peacefully. The movements of the various devil sects in the Devil Domain are getting bigger and bigger. Although the sword cultivator sects don't listen to the Devil Sword Sect now, they have the tendency to unite. Although the situation in the entire Sword Spirit World seems to have calmed down because of the ceasefire between us and the Evil Ghost Sect, there are actually undercurrents surging. Who knows when they will erupt, so I'm really worried now."
