In fact, it was very simple. After the Demon Realm and the Holy Gate joined forces, they naturally wanted to swallow the entire Sword Spirit World. But now, there were several powerful sects in the Sword Spirit World. Each of these powerful sects was very powerful. Even if the Holy Gate and the Demon Realm joined forces, it was impossible to swallow the Sword Spirit World. Therefore, they came up with a method, which was to use the power of the Sword Spirit World to consume the strength of the various sects in the Sword Spirit World.
The Sacred Gate had a natural advantage over other sects, and that was, they were a demonic cultivation force. This might be a weakness in the Sword Spirit World, but one had to admit that it was also an advantage, especially in terms of communicating with demonic beasts. It was a huge advantage.
The people of the Holy Gate didn't necessarily treat the beasts in the Sword Spirit World as their own. This was because the Holy Gate was different from ordinary beasts. They were more like humans.
Humans were complicated. Naturally, the people of the Sacred Gate were the same. They were even more complicated and selfish than Yao Gai. They might have promised some demonic beasts in the Sword Spirit World to attack the human sects. However, it was hard to say if they were sincere in doing so.
But in any case, their approach was very correct. Using the beasts to consume the strength of the various sects in the Sword Spirit World, they could secretly accumulate strength. As long as they were strong enough, they could directly deal with the various sects in the Sword Spirit World.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't worried. In fact, he had already begun to prepare to deal with the Demon Sword Sect and the Evil Ghost Sect. If he didn't feel that the timing wasn't right, he would have already taken action against these two sects. As for the Holy Gate, Zhao Hai really didn't care about it.
Yes, the Holy Gate could seal themselves in the secret realm and prevent others from getting any information. They couldn't let the sects in the Sword Spirit World know what they were doing. Similarly, the Sword Spirit World could also seal them inside. It was like a very sturdy room. If you locked yourself inside, others wouldn't be able to enter. But if others were outside and sealed your exit, then you wouldn't be able to come out. This was the same principle.
The Holy Gate sealed themselves in the secret realm. It seemed like they couldn't let anyone enter the secret realm. In fact, this was useless to Zhao Hai. However, Zhao Hai didn't want to deal with the Holy Gate now, so he didn't care about this matter. Otherwise, he could directly enter the secret realm of the Holy Gate and understand what the Holy Gate was doing.
However, Zhao Hai was also very clear that if he wanted to deal with the Demon Sword Sect and the Evil Ghost Sect, he must understand the Holy Gate. This was because the Holy Gate had joined forces with the Demon Sword Sect and the Evil Ghost Sect. If he wanted to deal with the Demon Sword Sect and the Evil Ghost Sect, he must take the Holy Gate into account. Otherwise, he wouldn't have any way to deal with the Evil Ghost Sect and the Demon Sword Sect.
However, Zhao Hai still wanted to keep the Demon Sword Sect and the Evil Ghost Sect for a while. This was because he wanted the Demon Sword Sect and the Evil Ghost Sect to deal with the Myriad Buddha Temple's Tianyi Dao Sect.
Just as Zhao Hai guessed, the entire Sword Spirit World was in chaos for a period of time. The demonic beasts didn't give up on attacking the various sects. The various sects also began to organize and fight against the demonic beasts. Both sides suffered casualties. In general, the casualties of the various sects were heavier.
This was unimaginable in the past. In the past, it was the various sects who dealt with the demonic beasts. The casualties of the demonic beasts were heavier than the various sects. When did it reverse?
However, this was a fact. The casualties of the various sects were heavier than those of the demonic beasts. This was because the demonic beasts didn't cooperate in the past. They couldn't use all of their strength. Therefore, their casualties were naturally heavier. But now, the demonic beasts were able to cooperate. They were able to use all of their strength. This way, their casualties would naturally be lighter than the various sects.
The abilities of these beasts were actually very strong. Some of them were strong, some of them had strong defenses, some of them were fast, some of them had strong attack power, and some of them could use poison. Because of this, these beasts would develop their strengths as much as possible. Just like the beasts with strong defenses, they would develop their strength and defense. Because of this, their strength was much stronger than Cultivators, and their defenses were also much stronger. As for the beasts with fast speed, they were also much faster than Cultivators.
It was precisely because of this that once these demonic beasts worked together, they would be too powerful. They could attack, defend, assassinate, and poison. They had speed and strength. When they worked together, their combat strength would be incomparably troublesome.
Now, the demonic beasts seemed to have learned their lesson. They no longer engaged in one-on-one battles with the disciples of the various sects. They also didn't launch large-scale battles. Instead, they formed small combat groups and attacked the cultivators of the various sects. When they discover a large group of cultivators from the various sects, they would immediately retreat. When they discover a small group of cultivators, they would rush forward and eliminate them.
But the various sects didn't have a good way to deal with this situation. This was because their scouting ability wasn't as good as the demonic beasts. This might sound like a joke, but the fact was that the scouting ability of cultivators wasn't as good as the demonic beasts.
Some of the demonic beasts had the innate ability to become invisible. Once they become invisible, it would be very difficult to find them. This was because once they become invisible, even their aura would be completely hidden. There were also some demonic beasts that could fly very fast. Their eyes were also very sharp. Just like the eagle-type demonic beasts, they could see the movements of cultivators from afar while the cultivators couldn't see them. Because of this, the various sects had always been at a disadvantage in the battle against the demonic beasts.
Now, the various sects were having a headache. Not only did the attacks of the demonic beasts cause the sects to lose a lot of disciples, but it also greatly affected the income of the sects. Some of the sects' branches and cities were already experiencing a shortage of materials.
Fortunately, the free trade zone of the Sea Exploration Sect was still open. The various sects could trade there. Otherwise, their situation would be even more troublesome.
However, no sect in the entire Sword Spirit Boundary envied the Sea Exploration Sect. This was because they heard that the Sea Exploration Sect was being pressured by the demonic beasts in the South Sea. They had already sent reinforcements to the South Sea several times.
Of course, this didn't mean that the Sea Exploration Sect wasn't being attacked by the demonic beasts. In fact, many of the branches of the Sea Exploration Sect were attacked by the demonic beasts. They were also fighting against the demonic beasts, resulting in a lot of casualties.
It can be said that the various sects were having a headache because of the demonic beasts. However, in their opinion, they were in a much better position compared to the Sea Exploration Sect. This was because the Sea Exploration Sect wasn't only having a headache about the demonic beasts, they were also having a headache about the sea beasts. It can be said that they were facing enemies from both sides.
However, no one noticed that the Sea Exploration Sect did send reinforcements to the South Sea. However, the reinforcements also came back from the South Sea. It was just an ordinary defensive change. As for the battle against the demonic beasts in the Sword Spirit Boundary, it was even simpler. The Sea Exploration Sect was training their disciples. They would report a lot of casualties, but the number of casualties was actually very small.
Zhao Hai was very clear that the Sea Exploration Sect would face the same situation in the future. It might even be more difficult than the current situation. In this case, it was natural for him to train the disciples. If they couldn't adapt to this style of fighting as soon as possible, then the Sea Exploration Sect would suffer a lot in the future.
The disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect were divided into two groups. One group would go to the South Sea and use the sea beasts there to train. This group of disciples would be very suitable for large-scale battles. The other group would be organized into small teams. This group of disciples would go to the branch halls that were attacked by the sea beasts to train. They would be suitable to deal with the sea beasts, and they would be able to adapt to the fighting style of small teams.
Of course, this wasn't fixed. Every once in a while, Zhao Hai would exchange these two groups of people. He would let those who were suitable for group battles to learn how to fight small-scale battles. At the same time, he would also let those who were used to small-scale battles to adapt to group battles. This was because these two styles of fighting would appear in the future. If they didn't learn it, then they would certainly suffer a loss in the future.
It can be said that if the disciples of the Sea Exploration Sect didn't have the strength to fight, then they would be refined from stone and turned into iron. However, these disciples who were turned into iron were still pig iron, they couldn't become talents. After being tempered in battle, these disciples would turn from iron into steel. Only in this way could they truly follow Zhao Hai and dominate the entire Sword Spirit Domain.
Arrangements. Zhao Hai had already started making arrangements for the future. On the other hand, the Tianyi Yi Sect of the Myriad Buddha Temple was still having a headache because of the beast tide. They might have felt that something was wrong, but they weren't completely sure. Therefore, they didn't summon the people of the various sects for a discussion. However, Zhao Hai believed that once the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Yi Sect were sure that this matter was related to the Holy Gate, then they would immediately summon the representatives of the various sects to discuss how to deal with this situation. Zhao Hai had also made up his mind. If they summoned him this time, he would go, and he must go. Last time, he had already rejected the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Yi Sect. If he rejected them this time, then he wouldn't give them any face. It wouldn't be a secret competition, but a slap in the face.
Now, everything in Exploring Sea Sect was proceeding in an orderly manner. Outsiders didn't know what was going on, but the people in Exploring Sea Sect knew that they weren't as bad as what the sect had announced to the public. They were just accumulating strength. This didn't make the disciples of the sect feel aggrieved. On the contrary, they were very happy because they knew very well that the sect was preparing for the future. The stronger the strength they accumulated today, the greater the results they would achieve in the future. Even the new members of Swordsdance Sect were very clear about this.
Li Wanshan was very clear about this. After he learned about Zhao Hai's ambition from Gao Yunfeng, he had been observing the operation of the Sea Exploring Sect. When he found out that the Sea Exploring Sect had used the attack of the demonic beasts to report a lot of losses, and at the same time, mobilizing disciples to train from time to time, he knew that the Sea Exploring Sect's plan had already begun. At the same time, he was a little anxious. In fact, he didn't care about the other sects, but he really hoped that the Soaring Wind Sword Sect could join the Sea Exploring Sect. Not only because the Swordsdance Sect was friends with the Soaring Wind Sword Sect, but also for himself. If he could really pull the Soaring Wind Sword Sect into the Sea Exploring Sect, then Zhao Hai would definitely remember his great contribution this time. This would be very beneficial for his future development. Just think about it, if the Sea Exploring Sect really occupied the entire Sword Spirit Domain one day, then what kind of status would they have in the Sea Exploring Sect? Therefore, for his own sake, he also wanted the Soaring Wind Sword Sect to join the Sea Exploring Sect. Moreover, this matter was also a good thing for the Soaring Wind Sword Sect.
Now, the Soaring Wind Sword Sect was also being attacked by demonic beasts. After all, every sect was located in a mountain. As long as it was in a mountain, there would be demonic beasts. Previously, these demonic beasts were the targets of the disciples' training. Now, these demonic beasts had become the source of headaches for the sects. However, they had no choice but to establish their sects in the mountains because the spiritual energy in the mountains was richer. At the same time, the mountains were more suitable for the deployment of formations, especially the defensive formations. Moreover, the mountains could also bring a lot of income to the sects. Therefore, the sects would build their headquarters in the mountains.
Of course, they would also clean up the mountains where their headquarters were located. However, the demonic beasts couldn't be completely cleaned up, especially those small demonic beasts. However, small size didn't mean that their attack power was weak. Now, these demonic beasts had become the biggest headache for the sects.
On the other hand, the Wind Sword Sect was also troubled by these beasts. They were also having a headache, but they couldn't do anything about these beasts. They had already cleaned up the mountain where the sect was located many times, but the results weren't very obvious.
Li Wanshan felt that this was an opportunity to rope in the Soaring Wind Sword Sect to join the Sea Exploring Sect. Therefore, he made a request to Zhao Hai, hoping that Zhao Hai would agree to let him go to the Soaring Wind Sword Sect and persuade the Sect Master, Zheng Yuelin, to join the Sea Exploring Sect. This way, the strength of the Sea Exploring Sect would be enhanced once again.
Zhao Hai was also very interested in this proposal. He specifically called Li Wanshan to the Sea Exploring Sect's headquarters, which was Sky City. Li Wanshan didn't even know about the existence of Sky City before. Therefore, when he appeared in Sky City, he didn't pay attention to it at first. He thought that he was in Sky City and that he was in the secret headquarters of the Sea Exploring Sect. He didn't know that he was in Sky City.
This couldn't be blamed on him. The transmission formation of Sky City was built inside the city. Outside the transmission formation, there were a lot of trees and tree walls. Therefore, it was normal for him to not be able to see the situation outside.
