Li Wanshan returned to the Sword Dance Hall with an ashen face. This made Gao Yunfeng stare. He looked at Li Wanshan who was sitting in the study and said, "Hall Master, what happened to you? Why is your face so ugly? "
Li Wanshan coldly snorted and said, "That idiot Zheng Yuelin. I've already spoken to him, but he still didn't agree. Does he really think that the High Wind Sword Sect is a great sect? Does he really think that our Sea Exploring Sect can't do anything to him? Old Gao, I'm going to see the Sect Master and tell him about this matter. "
Gao Yunfeng looked at Li Wanshan and frowned, "Hall Master, you're going to see the Sect Master. What do you want to say? Generally, the Sect Master wouldn't change his plans, let alone directly attacking a sect like this. Did you say something to Zheng Yuelin? "
Li Wanshan sighed and said, "It's my fault for being too careless. Although I didn't say it explicitly, I still revealed that we didn't suffer any losses in the beast tide. Moreover, I also said that the strength of our sect is much stronger than he imagined. If he were to spread this news, it would be very disadvantageous to our sect. Therefore, I have to report this matter to the Sect Master."
Gao Yunfeng nodded and said, "Then there's no need to see the Sect Master. Just use the transmission formation to ask the Sect Master. I don't think that the Sect Master will take this matter to heart."
Li Wanshan looked at Gao Yunfeng and said, "Why? This is a big matter. Why wouldn't the Sect Master take it to heart? "
Gao Yunfeng smiled faintly and said, "Nobody knows. But I'm telling you the truth. The Sect Master might not take this matter to heart. You don't need to worry about it. Just send a letter to the Sect Master."
Li Wanshan nodded. Then he immediately wrote a jade slip and sent it to Zhao Hai. Before long, he received Zhao Hai's reply. Zhao Hai's reply was very simple. Just like Gao Yunfeng said, Zhao Hai only had a few words, "Don't take it to heart!"
Upon seeing these words, Li Wanshan was confused. He couldn't understand Zhao Hai's thoughts. In the end, he turned his gaze to Gao Yunfeng and said, "Old Gao, the Sect Master really told me not to take it to heart. But what's going on? Why do you think that the Sect Master won't take it to heart? "
Gao Yunfeng smiled and said, "Because of confidence. The Sect Master has absolute confidence in our Sea Exploring Sect. Zheng Yuelin hasn't joined our Sea Exploring Sect. Although I don't know why, he doesn't dare to offend our Sea Exploring Sect. Of course, he can also join other sects. In the Sword Spirit World, the number of sects that dare to accept Zheng Yuelin's group is less than a handful. However, among those sects, the Myriad Buddha Temple's Tianyi Dao Sect wouldn't be among them. This is because they don't want to offend our Sea Exploring Sect. Zheng Yuelin's Wind Sword Sect is an ally of our Sea Exploring Sect. If other sects accept Zheng Yuelin, it would be obvious that they are trying to poach us. At that time, if our Sea Exploring Sect really wants to retaliate, they wouldn't be able to bear it. Even the Myriad Buddha Temple's Tianyi Dao Sect would be the same. Therefore, in the Sword Spirit World, no one would accept the Wind Sword Sect. If the Wind Sword Sect dares to side with the Demon Sword Sect, the Evil Ghost Sect, or the Holy Gate, then it would be even simpler. We can directly destroy them and no one would be able to say anything. So in this case, if the Wind Sword Sect doesn't want to offend us, they wouldn't dare to tell others what you said. Otherwise, they would have to face our retaliation.
Li Wanshan nodded as he listened. He waited until Gao Yunfeng finished before he said with a happy face, "That makes sense. How could I forget that our Exploring Sea Sect isn't a pushover? Even the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Yi Sect have to give us some face."
Gao Yunfeng smiled faintly and said, "You're still underestimating our Exploring Sea Sect. The Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect are weaker than us. Although they have great influence and can mobilize a lot of small sects to help them, don't forget that those small sects only listen to them. They're just allies and won't go all out. Our Exploring Sea Sect is different. Aside from the Wind Sword Sect and the other sects, the other sects are all branches of our Exploring Sea Sect. We're strong enough so we don't have to worry about anything. The Tianyi Dao Sect of the Myriad Buddha Temple won't easily make a move against us."
The Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Yi Sect won't easily deal with us. "Li Wanshan let out a long breath. This wasn't because he had put down his worries, but because he wanted to use this action to calm himself down. He used to be the Sect Master of the Sword Dance Sect. He was the kind of person who was high and mighty in front of small sects but could only bow in front of large sects. Therefore, he never felt that having a powerful sect was very important for a cultivator.
As Gao Yunfeng said, the Exploring Sea Sect wasn't afraid of anyone. On the contrary, other people should be afraid of them. Take Zheng Yuelin for example. Zheng Yuelin didn't join the Exploring Sea Sect, but he didn't dare to tell others about the sect's situation. Otherwise, a counterattack from the Exploring Sea Sect would be enough to send him into eternal damnation. This was the power of a large sect.
As a disciple of a large sect, they were born to be superior to others. They didn't even need to cover up as much as other cultivators because there was no need for them to do so. So what if he said something outrageous? If others saw it, would they dare to go out and talk about it? Even if they did, would it affect the Exploring Sea Sect? No, not at all. However, if they provoked the Exploring Sea Sect, then they would be in danger.
Today, Gao Yunfeng gave him a guest, allowing him to understand what kind of temperament and style a disciple of a great sect should have. He didn't need to worry about these things because there was no need to. He was himself, and behind him stood the Sea Exploring Sect. Just this point alone made it so that no one would easily offend him.
Li Wanshan stood up and walked to the door of the study. He looked at the distant sky and said: "Just wait. Sooner or later, I will follow the Sect Master and make the entire Sword Spirit World tremble under our feet. That day isn't far away."
Gao Yunfeng looked at Li Wanshan and smiled faintly. "Good, well said. Hall Master, that's what we all think. Sooner or later, we'll make everyone in the Sword Spirit Realm prostrate before our Scouring Sea Sect. We'll make them submit to us and the Scouring Sea Sect forever."
Li Wanshan turned to look at Gao Yunfeng and said, "Old Gao, according to what the Sect Master said, we have to take every step carefully. I'll leave the arrangements for the disciples to fight those monsters to you. I'll use this period of time to get in touch with the people from the other sword cultivation sects. I want to understand what they're thinking. We can't let them mess up the Sect Master's plan."
Gao Yunfeng smiled: "You are the hall master of our Exploring Sea Sect. Do you know what this means? It means that you are much nobler than the majority of the sect masters in the Sword Spirit World. Even Grandmaster Hui De of the Myriad Buddhas Temple would come out to greet you when he hears of your visit. Therefore, you don't need to do anything. "
"Hahaha, I know that. However, isn't it our duty to understand the thoughts of those fellows, control them in our hands, and kill any disloyalty they have?"
"Hall Master, you are now more like a member of the Exploring Sea Sect than I am. It seems like you will go further than me in the future and have a higher status than me."
"Hahaha, Old Gao, Old Gao, are you kidding me? Aren't you going to be transferred away soon? By then, you'll be a Hall Master, just like me. Yet, you're still saying that now. You really know how to talk. "
Gao Yunfeng smiled faintly and said, "I've already reported to the Sect Master that I can be transferred away. I think the Sect Master has already noticed this. It won't be long before he transfers me away."
Li Wanshan couldn't help but be startled by Gao Yunfeng's words. He said: "So fast? I still don't have a complete understanding of how our Exploring Sea Sect operates. If you leave now, what will happen to me? "
Gao Yunfeng looked at Li Wanshan and said: "Old Li, don't you understand? It's not important to understand how the Exploring Sea Sect operates. As long as you understand it for a period of time, you will know what to do. Therefore, you don't have to worry about anything. The most important thing is loyalty. Loyalty to the Sect Master and our Exploring Sea Sect. Only such a person is suitable for our Exploring Sea Sect. "
Li Wanshan understood what Gao Yunfeng meant. In fact, when Zhao Hai sent Gao Yunfeng to the Sword Dance Sect, it wasn't to help him familiarize himself with the Exploring Sea Sect's operation as soon as possible. Instead, it was because he was worried about Li Wanshan and needed someone to watch over him. Once he found that Li Wanshan could rest assured, the person by his side could naturally be transferred away.
This was a kind of surveillance in the open. Li Wanshan was also aware of this. He was originally a little nervous, but now he didn't have this feeling at all. On the contrary, he was very much in favor of Zhao Hai's approach. This would save a lot of trouble.
It could be said that the reason why people like Gao Yunfeng were placed in the open was actually to serve as a deterrent. Although he didn't have any bad intentions, it could be imagined that if there were some people with the same status as him, if they had any bad intentions, it was very likely that they wouldn't dare to act recklessly because of the existence of Gao Yunfeng and the others. This would reduce a lot of trouble.
Of course, if a person really wanted to do something, then Gao Yunfeng's presence wouldn't be able to stop him. However, Gao Yunfeng's presence wasn't to stop those people. They were there to make those who were originally half-hearted completely obedient. This alone was enough.
Li Wanshan sighed, then he looked at Gao Yunfeng and said, "Old Gao, to be honest, I'm really reluctant to part with you. Once you leave, I'll be lacking a good helper. I can't just leave everything to my subordinates and not do anything myself." Gao Yunfeng nodded, then he looked at Li Wanshan.
Gao Yunfeng smiled and said, "You want to be lazy, right? That won't do. Now is the time when the Sect Master needs people. It's impossible for you to be lazy. You'd better work harder. "
Li Wanshan couldn't help but laugh when he heard Gao Yunfeng's words. Then, he said, "It's been so long, but we haven't had a good drink. How about we go for a drink today? To be honest, I'm really happy today. The High Wind Sword Sect is just a small sect. It's not worthy of my attention. We have to set our sights a little further. "
Gao Yunfeng smiled and said, "I'll be happy to accompany you. However, our Sea Exploring Sect has a rule. When drinking, we absolutely can't use spiritual qi to dissolve the alcohol. Therefore, I want to see how much your alcohol tolerance is today."
"Hahaha, you can't compare to me. Don't forget that I used to be the Sect Master. I have more opportunities to drink than you. Old Gao, you'll lose if you compete with me in alcohol tolerance."
"That's not necessarily true. Don't forget that our Sea Exploring Sect is famous for our wine. I've drunk quite a lot of wine after joining the Sea Exploring Sect. It's impossible for you to surpass me in terms of alcohol tolerance."
The two chatted and laughed as they walked outside. Li Wanshan felt that their relationship had gotten a lot closer. This time, Li Wanshan was very happy. He started to recognize the Sea Exploring Sect and started to regard himself as a member of the sect. He felt proud of being a member of the sect.
On the other hand, Zheng Yuelin was in a state of torment. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to join the Sea Exploring Sect, but he was unwilling to do so. He felt that joining the Sea Exploring Sect would be an insult to him. However, his reason told him that joining the Sea Exploring Sect was his best choice. These two emotions were constantly fighting in his mind. No one could beat the other. This made him unable to calm down and think about his own matters.
In fact, it wasn't just the matter of the Sea Exploration Sect, but also the recent changes in the Sword Spirit World and the attacks of the demonic beasts. All of these left him at a loss. He suddenly found that the Sword Spirit World that he thought was very familiar with had become very strange. It was so strange that he didn't recognize it anymore. He really didn't know what to do.
Today, Li Wanshan came to persuade him. Although he and Li Wanshan were friends, their personalities were very different. Li Wanshan usually looked very strong, but in fact, he had a sense of propriety. When faced with a choice, he would quickly make a choice. Even if he couldn't make a choice, he would still listen to the opinions of others.
But he was different, he was completely different from Li Wanshan. He didn't look like a strong person, but his self-esteem was very strong. But when he encountered something, he was hesitant. He couldn't make a decision right away. Most importantly, he rarely listened to other people's opinions. He didn't want other people's emotions to affect him. This way, it would be easy for him to force himself into a dead end.
But even if he knew, it didn't mean that he couldn't change. He knew that he had shortcomings in his character, but he couldn't change them. Therefore, he fell into this situation. If he had agreed to Li Wanshan's request, wouldn't he be fine? But if he agreed to Li Wanshan's request, would he still be himself?
