Monitoring the Holy Gate wasn't something that could be completed in a day or two. Perhaps the Holy Gate wasn't ready yet. Otherwise, they wouldn't have only occupied Mang Mountain.
The matter of Mang Mountain might just be a test by the Holy Gate. Therefore, the Holy Gate wouldn't fight to the death with the Righteous Dao Alliance in Mang Mountain. This could be seen from the Devil Domain's situation.
The Devil Domain's allied forces had been confronting Zhao Hai's group in Yincorpse City for a long time. This wasn't normal. If the Holy Gate really wanted to have a decisive battle with the Righteous Dao Alliance, then the Devil Domain definitely wouldn't send only a few people. This was obviously impossible.
Because of this, Zhao Hai judged that the Holy Gate's actions in Mang Mountain might be a test. They wanted to see how the Righteous Dao Alliance would react. If the Righteous Dao Alliance didn't care about them, then they could occupy Mang Mountain. This would be very beneficial for their future plans.
If the Righteous Dao Alliance's reaction was very intense, then they could use the demonic beasts in Mang Mountain to exhaust the Righteous Dao Alliance's strength. At the same time, they could test the Righteous Dao Alliance's fighting strength. This would also be very beneficial for their future plans.
Because of this, Zhao Hai wasn't anxious. He kept the Sea Exploration Sect's people in Three Dao Bay City to confront the Devil Domain's people. He didn't let the Sea Exploration Sect attack the Devil Domain's army. This was because he didn't want to start a war right now. That wouldn't benefit the Sea Exploration Sect or the Devil Domain.
Obviously, the Devil Domain's people also thought the same. They didn't take the initiative to attack the Sea Exploration Sect. Both sides were confronting each other. No one took the initiative to attack.
Time passed little by little. The battle in Mang Mountain was still ongoing. The cultivators led by the Myriad Buddha Temple's Tianyi Dao Sect still had the upper hand. They had already killed a lot of demonic beasts. The thirteen cities of Mang Mountain had returned to their hands. Now, they were advancing towards Mang Mountain.
Although Zhao Hai's group didn't fight, the people from the big sects didn't let Zhao Hai and the others help. The people from the Myriad Buddha Temple's Tianyi Dao Sect were very clear that they were the ones who assigned the task. They didn't want the Sea Exploration Sect to intervene in Mang Mountain's matter. If the Sea Exploration Sect intervened in Mang Mountain, then the Sea Exploration Sect's Tianyi Dao Sect. They definitely wouldn't agree. So they didn't want Zhao Hai to intervene in Mang Mountain's matter.
Zhao Hai also didn't want to intervene. His goal had already been achieved. He wanted the Iron Buddha Temple's territory. If the Iron Buddha Temple's territory returned to his hands, then the Sea Exploration Sect's territory would become bigger. There would be more places that could threaten the Myriad Buddha Temple's Tianyi Dao Sect.
Moreover, if Zhao Hai really wanted to unify the Sword Spirit Boundary in the future, then these territories would be very useful to him. These territories were like points. Zhao Hai could have the Sea Exploration Sect set out from these points and take over the entire Sword Spirit Boundary.
The reason why Zhao Hai wanted the Iron Buddha Temple's territory and not the Myriad Sword Sect's was because he knew that if he wanted the Iron Buddha Temple's territory, then the Myriad Buddha Temple's Tianyi Dao Sect would give it to him. If he wanted the Myriad Sword Sect's territory, then the Myriad Buddha Temple's Tianyi Dao Sect would absolutely not give it to him.
First, it was because the Myriad Sword Sect was a Great Sect. The Myriad Sword Sect's territory was very big, at least a lot bigger than the Iron Buddha Temple. With such a large territory, the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple and the Heaven's Path Sect wouldn't easily give it to Zhao Hai.
The second reason was that the Myriad Sword Sect was destroyed by the Myriad Buddha Temple. If Zhao Hai wanted the Myriad Sword Sect's territory now, then it would definitely arouse the disgust of the Myriad Buddha Temple. However, the Iron Buddha Temple's territory was different. The Iron Buddha Temple was originally Zhao Hai's sect. Moreover, before Abbot Wu Yu passed on the position of Abbot to Zhao Hai. It could be said that Zhao Hai was now taking back what belonged to him. The opposition of the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect would be a lot smaller. Therefore, Zhao Hai believed that he would succeed in taking back the Iron Buddha Temple's territory. As expected, he succeeded.
As for Mang Mountain, Zhao Hai didn't really care about it. Although Mang Mountain's location was very important, it wasn't enough to threaten the Sea Exploring Sect.
With the advance of the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect, Mang Mountain was about to be reclaimed. But at this time, the Demon Realm's army in the Yin Corpse City suddenly became restless. They began to attack the Sea Exploring Sect's army in the Three Dao Bay City.
After Zhao Hai heard this news, he immediately came to the Three Dao Bay City. He wanted to see what the Demon Realm wanted to do.
On the third day after Zhao Hai arrived at Three Dao Bay City, the Demon Realm's army began to attack them. Seeing this, Zhao Hai didn't know what to say. He didn't know what the Demon Realm was thinking. Attacking them at this time meant that the overall situation was already set. What was the use of attacking them at this time? Zhao Hai didn't know what to do.
However, since the enemy was already attacking, they couldn't just ignore it. The enemy had an army of 500,000, which was a lot more than their army of 300,000.
Zhao Hai's method was actually very simple. They just needed to defend. No matter how the enemy provoked them, they just needed to defend their own territory. As long as the enemy didn't enter the territory of the alliance, they wouldn't take the initiative to attack them.
Then Zhao Hai discovered that the Demon Realm's army didn't really want to attack. They were just provoking. They provoked more than they attacked. Even if the two sides fought, they would only fight for a short time before retreating. They didn't have any intention of fighting a bitter battle.
Upon seeing this situation, Zhao Hai knew that the other party didn't really want to attack them. They were just putting on an act. After all, they were nominally cooperating with Mang Mountain. If they didn't do anything during the entire operation, then it would be unreasonable. Therefore, the Demon Realm's army acted as if they were going to attack. They even took the initiative to provoke, causing some small scale battles. In the end, they could only be repelled.
After discovering this point, Zhao Hai felt relieved. The Demon Realm's army was really a group of villains. They were still thinking about him.
Time passed by bit by bit. The Demon Realm's army was still attacking. However, this small scale conflict between a few hundred people was just like a joke to both sides. One side didn't have the intention to attack, while the other side was fully focused on defense. Naturally, this battle couldn't be fought.
A month after the Myriad Buddha Temple attacked Mang Mountain, the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Sect's army finally captured Mang Mountain. When they heard that Mang Mountain was captured by the Myriad Buddha Temple, the Demon Realm's army immediately withdrew. When Zhao Hai saw this situation, he also withdrew his army. He once again withdrew his army of 300,000 to the Black Tortoise Branch. He didn't immediately disperse the army, instead, he was guarding against the Demon Realm's army.
You don't know what the Demon Realm's army will do next. Zhao Hai wasn't at ease with them. The Demon Realm's army didn't play by the rules.
When Zhao Hai's army withdrew to the Black Tortoise Branch, Zhao Hai received a letter from Grandmaster Hui De, asking him to go to the Myriad Buddha Temple to discuss something. Zhao Hai didn't hesitate and directly went to the Myriad Buddha Temple.
This time, when he arrived at the Myriad Buddha Temple, Zhao Hai couldn't help but be taken aback. He found that there were many people in the main hall of the Myriad Buddha Temple. In addition to Grandmaster Hui De and Greater One Spiritual Master, the masters of other sects were also present. He was the last to arrive.
Moreover, Zhao Hai found that some of the masters of other sects were looking at him with a trace of disdain. Seeing this situation, Zhao Hai couldn't help but be taken aback. Then he roughly understood why Grandmaster Hui De did this. This time, when Grandmaster Hui De and the others attacked Mang Mountain, the casualties were not small. While he was in Sandao Bay City, facing the Demon Realm's army, he basically didn't fight. Although he made some moves later on, but that kind of playful battle couldn't be hidden from Grandmaster Hui De and the others. Grandmaster Hui De and the others were showing off to him.
Zhao Hai didn't care, but smiled, walked in front of Grandmaster Hui De, and cupped his fists: "Greetings Grandmaster."
Grandmaster Hui De also saluted Zhao Hai: "Amitabha, Sect Master Jian is here, please take a seat." After Zhao Hai thanked him, he sat directly on the futon.
After Zhao Hai sat down, Grandmaster Hui De also sat down. He glanced at the people in the main hall and said: "This time I invited everyone here to talk about the battle at Mang Mountain. Everyone fought a bloody battle at Mang Mountain and finally took it back from the hands of the demon beasts. For us, this is absolutely good news. Now that Mang Mountain is back in our hands, the enemy can no longer threaten us through Mang Mountain, so today we are here to talk about the management of Mang Mountain."
When the Sect Masters heard Grandmaster Hui De, their spirits shook. They knew that now was the time to divide the benefits, so they wanted to hear what benefits they could get this time.
Grandmaster Hui De looked at everyone and said, "Mount Mang doesn't belong to anyone, so my suggestion is that Mount Mang doesn't belong to any sect in the future. Our Myriad Buddha Temple and Heaven One Dao Sect will form a joint management team to manage Mount Mang and the 13 Mount Mang Cities. What does everyone think?"
Everyone nodded. This was something that they could accept. After all, they had contributed in taking down Mount Mang. Therefore, they formed a joint management team to manage Mount Mang. This was something that everyone could accept. This was equivalent to distributing the benefits of Mount Mang to the various sects.
At this moment, a Sect representative suddenly said: "Grandmaster Hui De, I wonder if the Sects that didn't participate in the battle at Mang Mountain will also join this team?"
When they heard this, the entire hall became silent. Everyone understood what this meant. This was obviously directed at the Sea Exploration Sect, because among the people present, only the Sea Exploration Sect couldn't participate in the attack on Mang Mountain.
