"I really didn't expect Scouring Sea Sect to be able to make Sky City fly again. It seems like our plan won't succeed. However, the problem now is whether those sects that attacked Scouring Sea Sect will let them go. Should we intervene or not?"
"I'm afraid it's too late for us to intervene now. Do you think the people of Scouring Sea Sect don't know that we're behind this matter? I think they've already known about it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have revealed Sky City this time. Who knows the existence of Sky City before they revealed it? Who knows how long they've been building Sky City? They just haven't used it yet. I heard that Sky City is built very high with high city walls. Moreover, its defensive power is astonishing and its speed isn't slow either. "
"Alas, it seems like we've miscalculated this time. I really didn't expect Scouring Sea Sect to be so powerful. I heard that many sects have directly surrendered to them as soon as Sky City was revealed."
"This is normal. What can those small sects use to resist Sky City? To be honest, I was dumbfounded when I first heard the news. Even we don't have a good way to resist the Sky Castle now, do we? "
"So what? If Scouring Sea Sect takes this opportunity to attack us, I'm afraid we won't have any way to deal with them, right? "
"I don't think so. Although Sky City is very strong, our two sects have a lot of Supreme Elders. Even if we don't have the ability to break through Scouring Sea Sect's defenses, we're more than capable of protecting ourselves. I think we can send someone to contact Sect Master Jianjiu. Let's use the area that they're occupying now as the boundary. Therefore, we can let them occupy the area from their branch to Scouring Sea Sect's main sect, but they can't expand."
"But that's almost half of the entire Sword Spirit Boundary's territory. The total area occupied by our two sects is almost the same as theirs."
"What else can we do? Do you think they won't occupy it if we don't agree? If we force our way in, what reason can we use to control them? After all, we're in the wrong this time. "
"Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. This might be referring to us now, right? It seems like this is the only way to deal with this matter. Fortunately, our two families didn't suffer too much losses this time. Otherwise, I'm really worried that those guys from the Devil Domain would come to deal with us. Although we are now cooperating with those guys from the Devil Domain, I think those guys from the Devil Domain are quite ambitious. "
"Of course I know their ambitions aren't small, but do you think the Sea Exploration Sect's ambitions are small? The Demon Region wants to take over the entire Sword Spirit Sect. Actually, the Sea Exploring Sect is the same. "
"Sigh, I really didn't expect a small Sword Control Sect to develop to such an extent in just a few years. This is just too shocking. Saber9's ability is truly admirable."
"Saber9 is indeed very powerful. We can't openly fall out with him now. Moreover, judging by Saber9's behavior, he won't openly fall out with us either. However, I'm a little curious. What exactly is Saber9 worried about? Whether it's when he's dealing with us or the Demon Region, he doesn't seem to have gone all out. It's as if he's holding back, as if he's guarding against something. But what is he guarding against? Their Sea Exploration Sect is already so strong. What else could make him so apprehensive? "
"There must be a reason. Do you remember the last time we reclaimed Mount Mang? He's very concerned about this matter. I think what he's concerned about isn't Mount Mang, but the people behind Mount Mang — the Holy Sect. "
"The Holy Sect? Yes, the Holy Sect. The Holy Sect keeps too low a profile. We really don't know much about the Holy Sect now. It seems like we'll have to be more careful in the future. If we're not careful, an organization that can make Saber9 so wary might cause us to suffer a great loss. "
"Yes, but there's no need to be too anxious about this. What we're going to talk about now is the Sea Exploring Sect. Who do you think is suitable for us to send to discuss this matter with them?"
"Let Hui Neng and Tian Xuan go. Both of them are friends with Saber9. It'll be easier for them to talk when they meet. Although we've gone overboard this time, we didn't attack them directly like the Sea Exploring Sect did. I think we still have some leeway. I think the Sea Exploring Sect will more or less agree to our request."
"Yes, I think so too. Alright, let's do that then. By the way, what do you think would happen if we joined forces with the Sea Exploring Sect to deal with the Demon Region? Would they agree to it? "
"The Demon Region? I think they would, but we can't be sure when they'll do it. Don't forget that the Demon Region is now an ally of the Holy Sect. If Saber9 is really wary of the Holy Sect, he won't attack the Demon Region so easily. This is because the moment he attacks the Demon Region, the Holy Sect will be drawn out. That'll be a great battle. "
"At the end of the day, the root of this is still the Holy Sect. I'm curious. What are those beasts in the Holy Sect thinking? Why did they suddenly seal the secret realm and ally with the Demon Region? We've always been good to them. "
"No one can say for sure, but no matter what, we still have to be careful. It seems like the best alliance partner in the future is the Sea Exploring Sect."
"Alright, then I'll go back and call Tian Xuan over. Tian Xuan and Hui Neng will go to the Sea Exploring Sect together. Let's see if Saber9 will give us face this time."
"Alright, I'll get Hui Neng to prepare as well. If Saber9 really turns hostile this time, we'll also be prepared so that we won't be caught off guard." Both of them ended their conversation and one of them got up and left.
These two people were the Greater One Spiritual Master and Great Master Hui De. They were indeed the ones behind the operation against the Sea Exploring Sect. They wanted to suppress the Sea Exploring Sect and take over all the territories of the Sea Exploring Sect's branch halls. It would be best if they could also take down the Sea Exploring Sect's main hall. It would be even better if they could force the Sea Exploring Sect back to the South Sea.
However, they never expected that just as they were about to deal with the Sea Exploring Sect, the latter would suddenly reveal the Sky City and turn the situation around.
The appearance of the Sky City not only represented a kind of combat strength, but more importantly, it represented the strength of the Sea Exploring Sect. The Sky City was so big that even if the various sects' large-scale instruments lined up to collide with it, they might not be able to do anything to the Sky City. In addition, the number of people that the Sky City could carry and the destruction of the Great Mountain Guarding Formations of the various sects made the Sky City a great killing machine.
However, this was also the effect that Zhao Hai wanted. Now, many of the sects that attacked them had already surrendered. The few that didn't surrender were also asking for peace. However, Zhao Hai wasn't going to let them off so easily.
At this time, Zhao Hai received a letter from Laura. The letter said that Grandmaster Hui Neng and the others had arrived at the Imperial Sword Sect and were preparing to see Zhao Hai.
When Zhao Hai heard this, he understood the intentions of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple's Tianyi Dao Sect. It seems like the appearance of the Sky City had shaken the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple's Tianyi Dao Sect. However, this was also good. This time, Zhao Hai didn't want to destroy the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple's Tianyi Dao Sect. Because of this, it was necessary to reconcile with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple's Tianyi Dao Sect.
Zhao Hai wasn't polite as he had Laura send Grandmaster Hui Neng and Daoist Priest Tian Xuan to Sky City. Then he waited for the two at the transmission formation.
Sky City wasn't a secret. In the past, when others weren't around, it was only right to let them come. Now that everyone knew about the existence of Sky City, there was no point in hiding it anymore.
Zhao Hai didn't wait for long before Grandmaster Hui Neng and Daoist Priest Tian Xuan arrived. Upon seeing the two, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile faintly. Then he cupped his fist and said, "Saber9 has seen Grandmaster Hui Neng and Daoist Priest Tian Xuan. Greetings."
Grandmaster Hui Neng and Daoist Priest Tian Xuan also quickly returned the greeting to Zhao Hai. After the three greeted each other, they went straight to Zhao Hai's study. After sitting down, Zhao Hai looked at the two and smiled, "Did you two come here for this matter?"
Grandmaster Hui Neng didn't think that Zhao Hai would be this direct, so he nodded and said, "Right, we came to see Sect Master Jian because of this matter. Sect Master Jian is a straightforward person, so I'll be frank. Sect Master Jian, Senior Brother Abbot and the Greater One Spiritual Master said that we were in the wrong this time. We can give all of the Exploration Sea Sect's branches to the Exploration Sea Sect, but the Exploration Sea Sect shouldn't expand. What does Sword Sect think?"
Hui Neng was very clear that there was no need to use empty words in front of Zhao Hai. This was because Zhao Hai was a smart person. If you try to be smart in front of him, then you would only be played by him. Therefore, he directly stated his conditions and wanted to see if Zhao Hai would agree.
Zhao Hai also understood that what Grandmaster Hui Neng said should be their final conditions. If he didn't agree, then there was no need for them to continue the discussion. Both sides would most likely prepare for a large-scale conflict. Moreover, the conditions that they offered were indeed very good. From the Exploration Sea Sect's branches to the Exploration Sea Sect's headquarters, all of the territory would be given to the Exploration Sea Sect. This was equivalent to nearly half of the Sword Spirit Domain's area. This would include the expansion of the Sword Tomb, the expansion of the Iron Buddha Temple, and all the branches of the Exploration Sea Sect. In this way, the territory of the Exploration Sea Sect could be truly combined.
This was very important to the Exploration Sea Sect. Zhao Hai also understood that this should be the bottom line of the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Sect. If it weren't for the fact that the Sky City was too shocking, they wouldn't have made such a big concession. Now that the Exploration Sea Sect had obtained such a large territory, the situation of the Sword Spirit Domain became very clear. It was a tripartite confrontation.
The Tianyi Dao Sect and the Myriad Buddha Temple occupied one-third of the entire Sword Spirit Domain. The Exploration Sea Sect occupied half of the Sword Spirit Domain while the rest belonged to the Demon Realm. This made it seem like the Demon Realm was the smallest and the easiest to bully. However, this wasn't the case. The Sword Spirit Domain was just too big. The reason why the Exploration Sea Sect occupied half of the Sword Spirit Domain was because it included the 72 islands in the South Sea. In terms of land area, the Exploration Sea Sect couldn't compare to the Demon Realm, the Myriad Buddha Temple, and the Tianyi Sect. However, it wasn't small either. This was because the Demon Realm and the Myriad Buddha Temple were made up of several sects. Only the Exploration Sea Sect was an independent sect.
