"The Sword Dance Sect is going to merge with the Scouring Sea Sect!"
"I heard that the Sword Dance Sect was forced to merge with the Scouring Sea Sect. If they don't, the Scouring Sea Sect will annihilate them."
"Is that so? Is the Scouring Sea Sect that overbearing? "
"The Scouring Sea Sect has always been very overbearing. Don't you know this?"
"I didn't expect that the Sword Dance Sect would merge with the Scouring Sea Sect. Back then, the Sword Dance Sect was the first to support the Scouring Sea Sect when the other sects in the Sword Cultivator Alliance were against it. I didn't expect that the Scouring Sea Sect would make an example out of them."
"Don't talk nonsense. I have definite news. It was the people of the Swordsmanship Sect who requested to join the Scouring Sea Sect. Moreover, all their elders voted to join the Scouring Sea Sect. It's not like what you said."
"How do you know? Did you see it with your own eyes? "
"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I have a childhood friend who is a member of the Sword Dance Sect. He has taken good care of me all these years. He was the one who told me about this. I won't talk nonsense with you. I heard that the Scouring Sea Sect is recruiting people. My childhood friend has already told me to join the Scouring Sea Sect. It would be great if I could join the Scouring Sea Sect. The Scouring Sea Sect is famous for its good treatment."
"Brother, do you really have such connections? If you have such connections, then don't hesitate to put in a good word for us. As long as we can join the Sea Exploring Sect, everything can be discussed. Once we're in the sect, we'll definitely follow your lead. Whatever you say, we'll do. What do you think? "
"That's right, brother. I've heard that large sects like the Sea Exploration Sect will also bully newcomers. If you join alone, it'll be hard to avoid being weak. Why don't you let us join with you? We can take care of each other."
"Well, that childhood friend of mine only told me to go. I still don't know how many people the Sea Exploring Sect is recruiting this time. If he really wants you guys to go, then it's not impossible. That way, I'll be able to make a small contribution. Let's go. Come with me to meet my childhood friend. As for whether or not you can join the Sea Exploring Sect, that's not up to me. Even my childhood friend doesn't have the final say."
"Understood. Many thanks, brother. Regardless of whether or not we can join the Sea Exploration Sect, we'll still thank you."
When the news of the Sworddance Sect merging with the Sea Exploring Sect spread, the entire Sword Spirit World focused their attention on the Sea Exploring Sect. Everyone in the Sword Spirit World knew about what the Sword Cultivator Alliance had done. Many sects were very happy to see someone slap the Sea Exploring Sect in the face.
However, what happened next made them shut their mouths. They didn't expect that the Seeping Sea Sect would only need ten days to annihilate the Sword Cultivator Alliance. Such speed was truly shocking.
However, this also showed the strength of the Scouring Sea Sect. In just ten days, they had destroyed dozens of sects. How could they not be surprised? They didn't know how strong the Scouring Sea Sect was.
Suddenly, news spread that the Sworddance Sect had merged with the Sea Exploration Sect. Moreover, it was proposed by the members of the Sworddance Sect, and everyone in the Sworddance Sect had agreed to it. So, how could this not cause everyone in the Sword Spirit World to raise their eyebrows?
Now, everyone in the Sword Spirit World had discovered that as long as one became an ally of the Sea Exploring Sect, they would eventually be annexed by the Sea Exploring Sect. Whether it was the members of the Sea Exploring Alliance, the Black Sky Sect Alliance, or even the 72 Southern Sea Islands, all of them would eventually be annexed by the Sea Exploring Sect.
Logically speaking, this practice of annexing allies would be repulsed by all the sects in the Sword Spirit World. However, after an investigation, one would find that the sects that wanted to merge with the Sea Exploring Sect weren't voluntarily requested by the Sea Exploring Sect. Instead, they were forced by the situation. The Sea Exploring Alliance was formed because they wanted to stick together. Moreover, the Sword Controlling Sect was the strongest among them. Therefore, the Sword Controlling Sect was naturally the leader of all the sects. Later on, the Black Sky Sect Alliance was formed because there were traitors in the alliance. If they didn't join the Sea Exploring Sect, they would be annihilated. It was the same for the 33 Southern Sea Islands. Speaking of which, the Sword Dancing Sect was the only one that didn't request to join the Sea Exploring Sect.
As for why the people of the Sword Dancing Sect did this, no one knew. However, according to the information obtained by the various sects, the Sea Exploring Sect didn't force them. The Sword Dancing Sect was indeed willing to join the Sea Exploring Sect.
However, this matter made people feel even more puzzled. Why would the Sword Dancing Sect do this? They didn't have to do this at all. This was really too strange.
However, this matter had been verified by the Sea Exploring Sect and the Sword Dancing Sect. Therefore, it wasn't fake. Even if everyone didn't understand, they couldn't change this fact. This made people really speechless.
At this moment, Zhao Hai also arrived at the Sword Dancing Sect. This time, he didn't bring too many people. He only brought Ding Chunming, Tie She, Shui Zhi, and Long Dingtian.
As soon as Zhao Hai and the others appeared in the teleportation array of the Sword Dancing Sect, they saw Li Wanshan and the others. Li Wanshan was leading all the elders of the Sword Dancing Sect to the teleportation plaza to welcome Zhao Hai.
Li Wanshan and the others were stunned when they saw that Zhao Hai only brought a few people. Subsequently, Li Wanshan immediately went forward and bowed to Zhao Hai, "Greetings, Sect Master. Li Wanshan pays his respects."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "You're welcome. Hall Master Li, please come in and talk."
Li Wanshan responded and led Zhao Hai into the main hall of the Sword Dancing Sect. When they arrived at the main hall, Li Wanshan invited Zhao Hai to sit on the main seat. Zhao Hai didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the main seat. However, he didn't sit down. Instead, he stood there and looked at Li Wanshan and the others. He said in a deep voice, "Today, the Sword Dancing Sect has officially merged with the Exploration Sea Sect. I didn't let anyone hold too many ceremonies because there's no need for that. However, there's one thing that I want to make clear here. Hall Master Li Wanshan, from today onwards, Li Wanshan will be the Hall Master of the Sword Dancing Hall of the Exploration Sea Sect. He will be in charge of the Sword Dancing Hall.
Everyone nodded, then Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "I know that you might feel uncomfortable in your hearts. You took the initiative to join our Sea Exploring Sect, but we didn't give you a ceremony. This might seem excessive, but I want to say that there's no need for that. In the future, we'll be a family. I'll treat you as one of my own, so the ceremony isn't that important anymore. If I don't treat you as one of my own, then it would be in vain. But if I don't give you a ceremony, then I'll treat you as one of my own. This is the greatest respect I can give you. Alright, let's not talk nonsense, everyone sit down."
Because of this, some of the disciples and elders of the Sword Dance Sect will be transferred to other places. After all, you will be members of the Sea Exploring Sect in the future. Therefore, some of you might be worried about the matter between you and the Iron Buddha Temple, but you don't need to worry about it. Although the Iron Buddha Temple is a part of the Sea Exploring Sect, it isn't a real sect. Therefore, I won't pursue this matter. As for the matter between you and the Sea Exploring Sect, it will be written off. You are now members of the Sea Exploring Sect. If you violate the sect's rules, then someone will naturally deal with you. You will be rewarded for your contributions. Our Sea Exploring Sect won't give you preferential treatment just because you took the initiative to join the Sea Exploring Sect. Naturally, we won't make things difficult for you because of the previous matter. Therefore, you can rest assured about this matter. "Zhao Hai nodded and said," The Sea Exploring Sect is now a part of the Sea Exploring Sect. Since you have violated the sect's rules, then there will naturally be people who will deal with you. You will be rewarded for your contributions. Our Sea Exploring Sect won't give you preferential treatment just because you took the initiative to join the Sea Exploring Sect. Naturally, we won't make things difficult for you because of the previous matter. Therefore, you can rest assured about this matter. "Zhao Hai nodded and said," The Sea Exploring Sect is now a part of the Sea Exploring Sect.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Zhao Hai's words. They were really worried about this. After all, their Swordsdance Sect had a grudge with the Iron Buddha Temple and Zhao Hai was from the Iron Buddha Temple. Moreover, they were the Vice Alliance Masters of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. They were the main force that attacked the Scouring Sea Sect. If they joined the Scouring Sea Sect and the Scouring Sea Sect really came after them, they would suffer.
Now that Zhao Hai had said this, they were relieved. After all, Zhao Hai's identity was there. He could be said to be one of the few people with the highest status in the entire Sword Spirit World. He wouldn't change his words easily and wouldn't deliberately say good things just to deceive them. There was no need for that at all. Now that the Swordsdance Sect was like a fish on the Scouring Sea Sect's table, Zhao Hai wouldn't be polite to them if they dared to show any disloyalty. Therefore, Zhao Hai's words were very credible.
Zhao Hai glanced at the people of the Swordsdance Sect and said in a deep voice, "Who among you will be transferred and who will stay? Someone will naturally tell you what kind of reforms will be carried out in the Swordsdance Sect branch. I won't say much here. I'm here to inform you that from today onwards, you will officially become the disciples of the Scouring Sea Sect. You can enjoy all the benefits of the Scouring Sea Sect's disciples and abide by all the rules that the Scouring Sea Sect's disciples have to abide by. I hope everyone will remember this."
Everyone responded in unison. In fact, they still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, they originally had a very high status in the Swordsdance Sect, but now, they were just ordinary members of the Scouring Sea Sect. This was especially true for Li Wanshan. In the past, he had the final say in the Swordsdance Sect, but now, he was only a Hall Master of a branch.
Moreover, Li Wanshan also understood that the Scouring Sea Sect would definitely send people to the Swordsdance Sect in the future to carry out reforms. Firstly, they would help him understand the situation of the Scouring Sea Sect, and secondly, they would give him authority.
However, Li Wanshan was very clear that he was no longer the Sect Master of the Swordsdance Sect. If he didn't adjust his position, he was afraid that he wouldn't be far from death. Zhao Hai wasn't a kind person, so it was better not to test his patience.
