Li Wanshan quietly sat in his study while holding a jade slip in his hand. Ten days had passed since Zhao Hai left the Swordsdance Hall. During these ten days, Li Wanshan had been busy sending away the original disciples and elders of the Swordsdance Sect, welcoming the new disciples, understanding the operation mode of the Sea-Exploring Sect, and learning how to reform the Swordsdance Sect.
In the beginning, Li Wanshan didn't take this matter seriously. He thought that Zhao Hai's reform was nothing more than a means to make him a mere figurehead. It was nothing more than a means to let others share his authority. All the sects in the Sword Spirit Boundary were like this. He didn't believe that the Sea-Exploring Sect would be any different.
However, when he truly understood the operation mode of the Sea-Exploring Sect, he was shocked. He didn't think that the operation mode of the Sea-Exploring Sect would be like this. It was completely different from the other sects. It was so strict, but it was also so free.
After understanding the operation mode of the Sea-Exploring Sect, Li Wanshan suddenly understood why the Sea-Exploring Sect could emerge as a new force in the Sword Spirit Boundary. Before the Sword Spirit Boundary was in chaos, the Sea-Exploring Sect was able to develop and grow. Even many of the older sects weren't their opponents. It was because their operation mode was too advanced.
Li Wanshan really didn't know what to say. Zhao Hai still gave him a lot of authority. What he was worried about was that the division of authority didn't happen. He was indeed in charge of the entire Swordsdance Hall, including the reform. It could be said that he was now the person with the most authority in the Swordsdance Hall.
However, after understanding the operation mode of the Sea-Exploring Sect, he didn't feel happy at all. He didn't need to experiment to know that the management mode of the Sea-Exploring Sect was much more advanced than the management mode in the Sword Spirit Boundary. He was very clear that the strength of the Sea-Exploring Sect would become very powerful if it was really managed like this.
However, he was worried that he couldn't do it well. He was worried that he couldn't manage it well. If he couldn't manage it well, then he would be disgraced. Moreover, it would also affect the Sea-Exploring Sect.
Fortunately, Zhao Hai sent a lot of helpers to help him. These people didn't have the intention to compete with him at all. They just wanted to do their job well. Li Wanshan learned that these people were transferred from other branches. After he got on the right track, these people would be transferred back. It could be said that these people were temporary helpers. In the future, the Swordsdance Sect would still be handed to him.
To be honest, Li Wanshan was a little touched. He really didn't expect that Zhao Hai would be so assured to hand over all these matters to him. Strictly speaking, they used to be enemies. But now, Zhao Hai handed over such a big place to him, a person who had just surrendered. How could he not be surprised?
Thinking of this, Li Wanshan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't have much contact with Zhao Hai before. He only heard about Zhao Hai's powerful means, but he didn't really experience it. After all, he didn't go to the front line even when they were fighting. Therefore, he didn't have a personal experience of how powerful Zhao Hai was.
But now, he experienced it. Zhao Hai was really too powerful. Not to mention anything else, just the trust in him made him wholeheartedly work for the Sea-Exploring Sect.
However, not everyone could make such a decision. He was a person who had just surrendered. The fact that Zhao Hai could trust him so much was a huge pressure. Such a person was really amazing.
Some people said that if you had a mind as big as the sea, you could do things as big as the sea. If he and Zhao Hai were in lower positions, he would never make the same decision as Zhao Hai.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, "Hall Master, are you in? I have something to discuss with you. "
When Li Wanshan heard this voice, he knew that it was one of the people Zhao Hai sent to help him. He quickly said, "Elder Gao, please come in." Along with his voice, the person outside the door nodded and then pushed the door to come in.
This Elder Gao was called Gao Yunfeng, an elder of the Sea-Exploring Sect. He came from a small sect and later became an elder of the sect. He wasn't very strong, but his ability to handle matters was very good. Most importantly, he was very serious in his work and was highly regarded by Zhao Hai. This time, he was sent by Zhao Hai to help Li Wanshan reform the Swordsmanship Hall. After some time, he would be transferred away.
After entering the room, Gao Yunfeng gave Li Wanshan a salute and said, "Hall Master."
Li Wanshan smiled and said, "Elder Gao, there's no need to be so polite. Take a seat. What did you come here for?"
Gao Yunfeng gave Li Wanshan a salute and said, "Thank you, Hall Master." Then, he sat down and said, "Hall Master, it's mainly about the improvement of the Spirit Array and the establishment of the archives. The Spirit Array improvement will be carried out soon, and we need your personal cooperation. As for the establishment of the archives, we also need you to step in. This is because many of the original disciples of the Swordsdance Sect are very disgusted with the establishment of the archives. They feel that if their cultivation base is known by others, it will be a huge threat to them in the future. Hall Master, you need to step in and explain this to everyone. These are the two matters that I'm here for today."
Li Wanshan nodded and said, "I understand. You don't need to worry about these two matters. Leave it to me, I'll take care of it. I've already made preparations for the improvement of the formation. As for the formation blueprint, I'll give it to the people from the Formation Hall when they arrive. As for the establishment of the records, I'll talk to the disciples and have the other disciples talk to them as well. I believe that there won't be any problems."
Gao Yunfeng nodded, then he said, "Hall Master, there's one more thing. The Sect Master wants you to help probe the opinions of the other sects in the Sword Cultivator Alliance. He wants to know if they want to maintain the status quo or merge with the Sea-Exploring Sect. If they want to merge with the Sea-Exploring Sect, then it'll be a great thing for us."
Li Wanshan thought for a moment and said, "From the looks of it, I'm afraid that it'll be very difficult for them to agree to merge with the Sea-Exploring Sect. Otherwise, they would have already acted. But I'll go ask them."
Gao Yunfeng nodded and said, "This is the Sect Master's intention. The Sect Master only wants you to help ask, he doesn't want to force them. The Sect Master made it very clear that if they want to join the Sea-Exploring Sect, then we'll welcome them. If they don't want to join, then we won't do anything to them. We'll still cooperate with them in the future. Therefore, he's only probing them, there's no need to persuade them too much. Otherwise, they'll think that we're forcing them to make a choice."
Li Wanshan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm well aware of this. Elder Gao, are you really going to leave after some time? I've only just begun to understand the rules of the sect. If you leave, what will happen to me? "
Gao Yunfeng smiled and said, "Hall Master Li, don't worry. The sect will certainly help you solve this problem. Didn't we bring a few assistants with us? We just want them to learn from us how to deal with this matter. Therefore, you don't need to think too much about it. Even if we leave, there will still be people to help you. "
Li Wanshan smiled bitterly and said, "They just told you, so I'm still worried. I think that we should talk to the Sect Master after some time. If we can't, then we can transfer them away while you stay. This way, our Sworddance Branch will be able to get on the right track."
Gao Yunfeng smiled and said, "If you've really made up your mind, then you can report it to the sect. If the Sect Master thinks that it's okay, then I'm sure he'll agree. But you should know that our sect has been expanding very quickly recently. There are a lot of places that are lacking people, so the Sect Master might not necessarily let us stay. After all, the sect took down the Sword Cultivator Alliance this time and didn't leave many people behind. Those territories also need people to manage them. We might be sent there if things go wrong."
Li Wanshan sighed and said, "No matter what, we have to give it a try. Right, when will the people from the sect's Formation Hall arrive? The Sworddance Branch's formations are still the same as before. If something really happens, I'm afraid that the formations won't be enough. "
"It's not enough, but I think those people from the Hall of Array will be here soon. They were very busy after those territories were taken down. Now, they should be almost done. It's a pity that the territories of these Halls are not connected. If they were all connected, then our Sea Exploring Sect wouldn't have to worry about anyone."
"Take it slow. I believe that we will connect all these territories sooner or later. Whether it's the Myriad Buddha Temple or the Tianyi Dao Sect, they won't be able to stop us. However, the Demon Sword Sect is a scourge. The Holy Gate is also very powerful. I'm afraid that it won't be easy to deal with them."
"There's no need to worry about the Demon Sword Sect and the Evil Ghost Sect. If the Sect Master wanted to deal with them, he would have already done so. However, these two sects can't be destroyed yet. The Sect Master still has some use for them. As for the Holy Gate, it's the most difficult to deal with. This is because we have very little information about the sect."
"The Holy Gate's matter is indeed troublesome. However, is the Sect Master really confident in dealing with the Demon Sword Sect and the Evil Ghost Sect? The Demon Sword Sect's lair isn't in the Sword Spirit World. I heard that it's in a secret realm. It should be the most difficult for us to deal with the Demon Sword Sect, right? It's even more troublesome than dealing with the Holy Gate. After all, we know the secret realm where the Holy Gate is located. However, we don't know where the Main Hall of the Demon Sword Sect is located. "
"The Demon Sword Sect is indeed troublesome. However, they have made a mistake. They have come out of the secret realm. Now, they have transferred most of the sect's forces outside the sect. For them, this is a good thing and also a bad thing. The good thing is that they can develop better in the Sword Spirit World. The bad thing is that as long as we deal with their people in the Sword Spirit World, their vitality will be greatly damaged. I'm afraid that they won't be able to make waves in the Sword Spirit World in the future. Therefore, they don't have to worry too much."
"So that's how it is. It seems like the Sect Master has already thought of dealing with them. Then I'm relieved. However, why did the Sect Master keep them alive? Don't they have a great enmity with our Sea Exploring Sect?"
Gao Yunfeng looked at Li Wanshan and smiled faintly, "They do have a great enmity with us. However, they also have ambitions. If they want to take over the entire Sword Spirit World, then they won't just have to deal with us. They will also have to deal with others. Do you understand?"
Li Wanshan was also a Sect Master, he wasn't a fool. Therefore, when he heard Gao Yunfeng, he stared for a moment before he immediately understood what Gao Yunfeng meant. Gao Yunfeng's meaning was very clear. If the Demon Sword Sect and the Evil Ghost Sect wanted to unify the Sword Spirit Domain, then they wouldn't only have to face the Scouring Sea Sect, they would also have to face the Myriad Buddha Temple's Tianyi Yi Sect. The Scouring Sea Sect, the Myriad Buddha Temple, and the Tianyi Yi Sect were allies. However, the three Sect Masters were now in a competitive relationship. If the Scouring Sea Sect wanted to suppress the Myriad Buddha Temple or the Tianyi Yi Sect, then they would have to deal with them. But because they were allies, the Scouring Sea Sect couldn't make a move.
The most amazing thing was that whether it was the Evil Ghost Sect or the Demon Sword Sect, they acted for their own purpose. It wasn't because the Sea Exploring Sect asked them to act. It could be said that this matter had nothing to do with the Sea Exploring Sect. The Sea Exploring Sect only needed to wait for the Evil Ghost Sect and the Demon Sword Sect to act.
After thinking about this, Li Wanshan couldn't help but let out a long breath. He gritted his teeth as he looked at Gao Yunfeng and said, "Elder Gao, is this the Sect Master's intention? Can I know? What is the Sect Master's ultimate goal? "
Gao Yunfeng looked at Li Wanshan and smiled faintly, "The Sect Master's goal is actually very simple. It's the same as the Demon Sword Sect's goal. Do you understand?"
Li Wanshan completely understood. He felt the blood in his body heating up. Moreover, it was getting hotter and hotter. He couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't think that Zhao Hai's ambition would be so big. He looked at Gao Yunfeng and said, "Elder Gao, do you think the Sect Master's idea can be realized?"
Gao Yunfeng's expression turned serious as he replied in a deep voice, "Yes, of course. That's the Sect Master of our Sea Exploring Sect. Their wish will definitely come true. In just a few years, he was able to turn a small Sword Controlling Sect into one of the giants of the Spiritual Sword World. Is there anything that he can't do? Therefore, I believe that he will definitely be able to realize his wish. We only need to follow him. As long as we follow him unswervingly, we will reach the peak of the Spiritual Sword World sooner or later!"
Li Wanshan looked at Gao Yunfeng. He felt his blood boiling. He didn't know how many years it had been since he felt this way. But today, he really felt the blood in his body burning. Unlike Li Wanshan, Gao Yunfeng was very calm. But within this calmness, there was a firmness, an incomparable firmness. He firmly believed that they could follow Zhao Hai to the peak. And this attitude of his made Li Wanshan's blood boil.
