Zhao Hai guided Li Wanshan for three days. At the same time, he gave Li Wanshan some advice. Li Wanshan now had some admiration for Zhao Hai. Therefore, he accepted Zhao Hai's advice and went to practice another sect's Cultivation Method.
He didn't expect that after practicing the Cultivation Method, he would feel that the Cultivation Method and his own Cultivation Method were superimposed on each other. This greatly increased his attack power. For Li Wanshan, this was definitely good news.
After Li Wanshan returned to the Sword Dance Branch, he immediately contacted the other sword cultivator sects to see what they thought. He wanted to know if they were interested in joining the Sea Exploring Sect.
He didn't expect that as soon as Li Wanshan contacted those sects, they would immediately agree to join the Sea Exploring Sect. If they couldn't see the Sea Exploring Sect's opinion at this time, then they would be fools.
It was precisely because they understood Zhao Hai's meaning that they immediately made a choice. They were very clear that if they didn't make a choice, then they wouldn't have the opportunity to do so in the future. Therefore, they found out that as soon as Li Wanshan contacted them, they immediately agreed to join the Sea Exploring Sect.
After meeting the Sect Masters of these sects, Zhao Hai agreed to let them join the Sea Exploring Sect. Just like the Black Tortoise Sword Sect, he appointed their Sect Masters as Hall Masters. At the same time, he transferred at least half of their disciples to the outside world. He also transferred a large number of disciples from the outside world in order to reconstruct the formations of these sects. If an accident were to happen to these sects, then Zhao Hai would be able to directly control these sects through the formations.
Now, in the entire Sword Cultivator Alliance, only the High Wind Sword Sect hadn't joined the Sea Exploring Sect. The people of the High Wind Sword Sect felt that they were very different. Moreover, their days were very difficult. This was mainly because they discovered that there was a shortage of various materials. They simply couldn't buy those materials in the free trade zone.
Although there were a lot of transactions in the free trade zone every day, very few people would trade with the High Wind Sword Sect. There were two main reasons for this. First, the sects didn't have a lot of materials. Even if they did, they wouldn't take them out to sell. This was because no one could predict the situation of the Sword Spirit Boundary. They didn't know when a war would break out. If a war really did break out, then no amount of materials would be too much. Therefore, all the sects were stockpiling war materials. Who would take them out to trade?
The second reason was that everyone knew that the High Wind Sword Sect had offended the Sea Exploring Sect. The Sea Exploring Sect was one of the top sects in the Sword Spirit Boundary. No sect would risk offending the Sea Exploring Sect by trading with the High Wind Sword Sect. Even the Myriad Buddhas Temple and the Heaven Dao Sect wouldn't do this.
At the same time, the Sea Exploring Sect didn't trade with the High Wind Sword Sect. The High Wind Sword Sect suddenly discovered that they had been isolated by the entire Sword Spirit Boundary. Only now did they understand how powerful and influential the Sea Exploring Sect was.
At this time, Zheng Yuelin regretted his decision. He wanted to join the Sea Probing Sect, but he still believed that he wouldn't be himself if he were to do so. This was what he had always believed.
Zheng Yuelin didn't want to lower his head to the Sea Exploring Sect. He felt that doing so would be too shameful. If he did so, then he wouldn't be Zheng Yuelin.
While Zheng Yuelin was still in a dilemma, the other members of the High Wind Sword Sect couldn't wait any longer. They had to fight the beasts every day, and people were dying every day. At the same time, the resources that they were distributing were getting lesser and lesser. This caused the sect's losses to become greater and greater.
The disciples and elders of the High Wind Sword Sect couldn't take it anymore. They clearly had a better choice. They could've joined the Sea Exploring Sect like the other sects. But now, they had to live like this. People were dying every day. The disciples of the High Wind Sword Sect couldn't take it anymore.
They knew why they had fallen into this situation. It was all because of Zheng Yuelin. Zheng Yuelin didn't join the Sea Exploring Sect several times. In the Sword Spirit Boundary, they didn't think that joining the Sea Exploring Sect was a betrayal. This was because the Sea Exploring Sect would pass down their orthodoxy. This was the most important thing for them.
Now, the disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect began to discuss among themselves. They said that they had fallen into this situation because of Zheng Yuelin. Moreover, this discussion was getting louder and louder. Even the elders were saying this. Some elders even began to secretly collude with each other.
At this time, Zheng Yuelin didn't notice this. He was still immersed in his own world. He was still tangled with himself. He simply didn't notice that the undercurrent of the High Wind Sword Sect was surging.
Zheng Yuelin was too pretentious. He always had things that he couldn't let go of. He always thought that he was the master of a sect. If he surrendered just like that, it would be unreasonable. However, he didn't see that the general trend of the world was coming fiercely. If he didn't follow the general trend, he would naturally be engulfed by the general trend.
Right now, he was like this. Because he had been tangled up in this matter, he didn't think that there was already some instability in the High Wind Sword Sect. He didn't notice this point.
On this day, Zheng Yuelin was sitting in his study when he heard footsteps outside. Then he heard a voice, "Zheng Yuelin, come out!"
When Zheng Yuelin heard this voice, he couldn't help but stare. This was because he knew this voice. It was the voice of one of the elders of the sect. However, this elder used to call him Sect Master. Today, he actually dared to call him by his name. This made Zheng Yuelin's expression sink.
Zheng Yuelin opened the door and walked out. When he saw the situation outside, his expression couldn't help but change. This was because he discovered that all the elders of the sect were present. Each and every one of them was coldly looking at him. This made Zheng Yuelin have a bad feeling in his heart.
Zheng Yuelin looked at the elders and said, "Do you have something to say?" His voice was still very calm. However, the bad feeling in his heart was getting stronger. He knew that something must have happened. This was because the elders were looking at him with ill eyes.
An elder stood up and looked at Zheng Yuelin and said, "Sect Master, we've gathered here today mainly to ask Sect Master, what should we do next? Right now, more than a hundred disciples are dying every day. Even if we save our resources, we can only last for three months at most. And this is under the condition that the outer disciples don't receive any resources. What does Sect Master think about this situation? "
Zheng Yuelin looked at the elder and said, "This is a difficult time. All the sects are in a difficult situation. Aside from the large sects, I'm afraid that there isn't a sect that doesn't lack resources. In the free trade zone, we can't buy any resources. This is something that can't be helped. However, this difficulty will pass sooner or later."
"Sect Master, we don't want to listen to such empty words. We just want to know how we can get through this difficulty. There must be a specific method, right? We can't buy anything in the free trade zone, but is that because they don't have anything? They just don't want to sell anything to us. I wonder how Sect Master will solve this situation? "
Zheng Yuelin frowned and said in a deep voice, "Elder Du, are you interrogating me?"
"Yes, I'm interrogating you. I want to ask Sect Master, why don't you agree to let our Ling Feng Sword Sect join the Exploring Sea Sect? I also want to ask Sect Master, the beast tide has happened for such a long time. All the sects already have a way to deal with it. Why doesn't our Ling Feng Sword Sect have any? Now, people are dying every day in our Ling Feng Sword Sect, and our resources are decreasing day by day. How do we solve this situation? If Sect Master can't even solve this problem, then you don't deserve to be a Sect Master. "
"Presumptuous! Who are you talking to? I'm the Sect Master of the Ling Feng Sword Sect. My decision is not up to you. "
"If your decision is correct, then we naturally won't interfere. However, if you continue like this, then our Ling Feng Sword Sect will be finished. In this situation, I can't just ignore it. As the elders of the Ling Feng Sword Sect, we must think for the entire sect, for the orthodoxy of the Ling Feng Sword Sect, for the inheritance of the Ling Feng Sword Sect, for the disciples of the Ling Feng Sword Sect."
"What do you want to do? There are difficulties now, but there will be a day when it will pass. Do you think you can solve the problem by doing what you're doing now? "
"Sect Lord, don't forget the authority given to us by the sect. As long as we have the agreement of more than eighty percent of the elders, we can abolish your position as the Sect Lord. Because the Sect Lord has neither virtue nor talent, he is not qualified to take on such a great responsibility. Now, we want to know how the Sect Lord will solve the predicament of our Ling Feng Sword Sect. If this continues, our Ling Feng Sword Sect will be disbanded. Now, there is a phenomenon of disciples fleeing for their lives. This is absolutely impossible to happen in the past, but now it has happened.
Upon hearing Elder Du's words, Zheng Yuelin's face couldn't help but change. He looked at Elder Du and said, "Disciples running away? What's going on? Why don't I know about it? "
As soon as he said this, he found that Elder Du and the others were looking at him with a look of disgust. Elder Du opened his mouth and said, "Sect Master, I think I need to remind you. Ten days ago, I told you that there are disciples running away in our Ling Feng Sword Sect. At that time, you said that you knew about it and that you would deal with it. But now, you seem to know nothing about it. Sect Master, do you really care about our Ling Feng Sword Sect's affairs? How can you be the Sect Master if you act like this?"
As soon as he heard Elder Du's words, Zheng Yuelin felt a headache. He knew that he was in trouble this time. He really didn't expect that Elder Du had already told him about this matter, but he didn't have any impression of it. This matter was indeed his fault. One must know that the escape of a disciple was not a trivial matter in any sect. But he had been entangled in his own emotions and abandoned the sect's affairs. This was indeed not what a sect master should do. It was no wonder that these elders would make things difficult for him today.
