The next day, the entire Scouring Sea Sect gathered at the foot of the Sword Mountain. The Sword Mountain was originally the headquarters of the Scouring Sea Sect. Although there was a city outside the Sword Mountain, there was still a lot of open space. Therefore, there was no problem for the entire sect to gather here.
When it was almost noon, he took the Ship of Ten Thousand Swords and flew out of the Sword Defense Mountain. As soon as he appeared, all the disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect saluted him and said, "Greetings, Sect Master."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he continued, "Today, I called all of you here because I have something to tell you. It's about our Sea Exploring Sect's investigation. Ever since our sect was established, we have been developing and expanding. Now, our sect is one of the most powerful sects in the entire Sword Spirit Realm. We are also one of the most influential sects in the entire Sword Spirit Realm. Moreover, I can tell you that our Sea Exploring Sect has the best treatment in the entire Sword Spirit Realm. After the reformation, our Sea Exploring Sect has been the most diligent in guiding our disciples. It can be said that our Sea Exploring Sect is the most diligent sect in the entire Sword Spirit Realm. But even so, there were traitors in our sect. They betrayed us and wanted us to collapse. Our Sea Exploring Sect will not let such people live. If we find one, we will kill one. If we find two, we will kill both."
After saying that, Zhao Hai paused for a moment. However, all the disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect were looking at him. Some of them couldn't fly, so they could only watch from the ground. Some of them flew in the air and looked at Zhao Hai. However, all of them were staring at Zhao Hai. At the same time, they were also surprised by Zhao Hai's words.
They knew about the previous investigation, but they didn't know that there was a traitor in the Sea Exploring Sect. Now that they heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but feel angry. They didn't think that there would be a traitor in the Sea Exploring Sect.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Bring them up!" Along with his voice, a Myriad Swords Ship flew over from the distance. Then a group of people flew down from the ship, led by Ding Chunming.
Ding Chunming was now wearing red clothes, even his head was wrapped in a red cloth. Behind Ding Chunming was a row of people wearing red clothes, their heads were also wrapped in a red cloth. Beside each of them was a person with their hands tied behind their backs, kneeling on the ground while being carried by Ding Chunming and the others.
Then Ding Chunming's group landed on the ground and placed the people they were carrying on the ground. Then they stood motionless beside these people.
The others were the same. Altogether, more than a thousand people were brought down. This made the disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect even more shocked. They didn't think that the sect would have so many traitors.
Zhao Hai looked at the traitors kneeling on the ground. These traitors had been restrained and couldn't use their spiritual qi. However, they weren't punished. They were just dejected as they knelt on the ground.
Zhao Hai replied, "These people betrayed our Sea Exploring Sect. The evidence of their betrayal has already been verified. There's no mistake about it. For such people, the Sea Exploring Sect only has one way of dealing with them, and that is to kill them, not leave them alive."
At this point, Zhao Hai looked at everyone, then he looked up at the sky and said, "Noon, prepare for the execution!"
Following Zhao Hai's words, Ding Chunming and the others took out their scimitars and raised them high. When everyone saw Ding Chunming's actions, they couldn't help but stare. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would behead these people. This was too unexpected.
One must know that beheading a cultivator was a very harsh punishment. Even if a cultivator were to die, they would want to keep their corpse intact. They believed that this would allow their soul to be complete and allow them to reincarnate. This was a continuation of their life. However, if they were beheaded, then they would become a headless ghost. Their soul wouldn't be complete and they wouldn't be able to reincarnate. In the end, they could only disappear from the world. Because of this, cultivators generally didn't want to be beheaded. Even if they were to be hanged or poisoned to death, they still didn't want to be beheaded.
However, Zhao Hai chose to behead them. This caused the hearts of the people from the sect to turn cold. They knew that Zhao Hai was truly angry this time. One must know that Zhao Hai was a very gentle person. When he answered the questions of his disciples, he would always have a smile on his face. Who would have thought that Zhao Hai would behead a traitor? This was really too surprising for them.
Zhao Hai didn't care about what the people below were thinking. He was very clear that he had to kill this trend. If he didn't, then the consequences would be very serious. Because of this, he decided to be ruthless this time.
These people were just like that. They thought that whatever you gave them was what they deserved, but they never thought of being grateful. There was really no need to be polite to such people. That was why they were dealt with first.
Zhao Hai looked at Ding Chunming and the others. Seeing that they were ready, Zhao Hai opened his mouth and said, "Begin!"
Along with Zhao Hai's words, Ding Chunming and the others immediately dropped their blades. Then a swishing sound was heard as more than a thousand heads were chopped off by Ding Chunming and the others. Blood spurted out from the necks of these people, making them look quite frightening. Ding Chunming and the others were stunned.
The surrounding disciples were in an uproar. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would be so ruthless. However, the uproar quickly subsided. Some of them couldn't help but secretly rejoice. This was because they knew some of the people who were killed. Moreover, these people had tried to win them over. However, they didn't agree. Now it seems like they were fortunate that they didn't agree. Otherwise, they would have been in danger.
Zhao Hai's face was calm as he looked at the corpses on the ground. Then he looked at the disciples and said, "In the future, if you find any traitors, kill them without mercy. Also, if you find any traitors in the future and don't report them, you will be punished the same as the traitors."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, these people couldn't help but stare. Then their expressions changed. One must know that a lot of the traitors were dealt with this time. However, because they felt that the management of the sect was lax, they didn't take it seriously. Now that they heard Zhao Hai's words, they couldn't help but be afraid.
After Zhao Hai finished speaking, he looked at the disciples and said, "Alright, disciples can return to their respective halls." Then he stood on the Ten Thousand Swords Ship and returned to the Jianyu Sect's hall. As for Ding Chunming and the others, they also flew back to the Ten Thousand Swords Ship and returned to the Jianyu Sect's hall. However, when the red-robed disciples saw them, they couldn't help but lower their heads.
As for the corpses on the ground, nobody touched them. It was clear that Zhao Hai didn't want anyone to touch them. This was also a punishment.
Zhao Hai directly returned to Sky City from the Sword Emperor Alliance. Then he called Wen Wenhai, Jie Yiming, and the other higher-ups of the Sea Exploring Sect to a conference room. After everyone arrived, Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "The traitor's matter has given us a wake-up call. Now that the Sea Exploring Sect is strong, there are a lot of people who want to attack us. If we don't guard against them, then I'm afraid we'll be in danger in the future. Therefore, we need to check every once in a while. We can't allow this to happen again."
We can't let this happen again. "Everyone nodded. Then Zhao Hai looked at them and said with a gloomy expression," This time, it's true that our disciples are at fault. However, we can't let those sects that want to target us go. Find out which sects these disciples are from. Remember, pay them back ten times over. Since they recruited a traitor in our sect, then we'll deal with ten of their disciples.
Everyone nodded. Then Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's go. Kill those sects for me. Don't let them go." Everyone nodded and then withdrew. Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, let's go.
After everyone left, Zhao Hai returned to his study. Laura and the others were waiting for him. When they saw Zhao Hai, Laura smiled and said, "Brother Hai, have you dealt with the matter?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It's done. It's good that we didn't deal with these guys. This time, we can only deal with them this way. If we find them in the future, then the punishment might be more severe."
Laura nodded, then she said, "Brother Hai, what's next? Are we just retaliating against those sects? Are we just going to do nothing? What's our next step? "
Without the support of the Sword Cultivator Alliance, our influence would decline a lot. Because of this, we need to firmly hold onto the Sword Cultivator Alliance. The second is the Poison Dragon Sect's Secret Realm. The transformation of the Secret Realm has yet to be completed. We need to quickly complete the transformation. Natural energy formations must be arranged. Otherwise, the herbs produced there would take a long time. Moreover, the Alchemy Hall's disciples who are willing to learn the Poison Dragon Sect's spells should also be paid attention to. "Zhao Hai nodded and said," The Poison Dragon Sect's Secret Realm has yet to be completed. We need to quickly complete the transformation. Natural energy formations must be arranged. Otherwise, the herbs produced there would take a long time.
Laura nodded, then said, "Alright, we understand. Brother Hai, you can rest assured. There are a lot of people in the Sword Cultivator Alliance who have been wanting to meet you for a long time. I can see that they seem to be very anxious. Perhaps it's because of the Demon Sword Sect's actions that have provoked them. You should know that they were the ones who betrayed the Demon Sword Sect. If the Demon Sword Sect were to gain power, they definitely wouldn't let them off. Therefore, they should be more anxious than us right now.
Zhao Hai thought for a moment, then he said, "After this matter is over, we should see them. After we retaliate against those sects, we need to see how they react. Then we can decide whether or not we should meet the Sword Cultivator Alliance." Zhao Hai nodded.
Laura nodded, she understood what Zhao Hai meant. Zhao Hai didn't want to involve the Sword Cultivator Alliance in their grievances with those sects.
