Grandmaster Hui De's expression was calm. He quietly looked at the sky city that was slowly approaching. Although the sky city was still very far away, it was still very big. Therefore, Grandmaster Hui De could see it at a glance.
Grandmaster Hui De didn't have any other thoughts at this time. Everything in the temple has been arranged. He didn't let the people in the temple resist because it was useless. The Tianyi Dao Sect resisted but was still easily broken through by the Sea Exploring Sect. Even the Supreme Elders of the Tianyi Dao Sect went all out but it was useless. The Tianyi Dao Sect was still captured. This was because the Sea Exploring Sect had sent nearly a hundred Supreme Elders, not cabbages. However, the Sea Exploring Sect sent nearly a hundred Supreme Elders, not cabbages. But now, the Sea Exploring Sect sent nearly a hundred Supreme Elders.
Now, the Sea Exploring Sect was finally in front of the Myriad Buddhas Temple. The Myriad Buddhas Temple was the only sect in the Righteous Dao Alliance that hasn't been conquered by the Sea Exploring Sect.
However, Grandmaster Hui De didn't want to resist. This was because he knew that resistance was useless. Even if he wanted to resist, he wouldn't be able to.
Grandmaster Hui Neng was standing behind Grandmaster Hui De. He looked at Grandmaster Hui De and said, "Senior Brother, everything has been arranged. No one will resist, they will all surrender."
Grandmaster Hui De nodded and said, "Alright, it's good to surrender. We're all Monks, we should kill as little as possible. Let's go, we'll meet them head-on." Grandmaster Hui Neng nodded and then flew forward with Grandmaster Hui De. They didn't even use large artifacts.
The reason why Grandmaster Hui De decided to surrender was because the Sea Exploring Sect was strong enough to capture the Tianyi Dao Sect. The other reason was that what Zhao Hai told him before had become a reality.
Zhao Hai told him before that the Holy Gate was preparing to invade the Sword Spirit World. However, Grandmaster Hui De didn't believe it. He always thought that the Holy Gate wouldn't invade the Sword Spirit World. But after their army dispersed, before the Devil Sect's army could return to the Devil Domain, the Holy Gate's army suddenly appeared in the Devil Domain and directly attacked the Devil Sects. Moreover, the Devil Sect's army was in the Sea Exploring Sect. Even if they could use the transmission formation to return, it would still take some time. The Holy Gate's army was already prepared. Therefore, the attack this time was very fast. In just a few days, except for the Evil Ghost Sect and the Demon Sword Sect, all the other Devil Sects were captured by the Holy Gate. The situation of the Evil Ghost Sect and the Demon Sword Sect wasn't very good. This was because the cultivators of the other sects had fled to these two sects to take refuge. Their supplies were very tight.
This time, the Holy Gate took out millions of troops to attack the Devil Domain. There were even more experts among them. In the face of this situation, Grandmaster Hui De naturally knew what was going on. The Holy Gate had long wanted to deal with the Sword Spirit World. They were really deceived. What Zhao Hai said was true. The Holy Gate wanted them to attack the Sea Exploring Sect so that both sides would suffer losses. Grandmaster Hui De could then reap the benefits.
It was precisely because of this that Grandmaster Hui De was disheartened. He found that he was really lacking compared to Zhao Hai. In the end, he decided to surrender. No matter what, Zhao Hai was now a member of the Sword Spirit World. The Holy Gate was made up of demon cultivators. They weren't even of the same race as them. There was no way to guarantee that the Holy Gate wouldn't deal with them. If they really surrendered to the Holy Gate, what would they do if the Holy Gate wanted to kill them in the future? At least, they didn't have to worry about this if they surrendered to the Sea Exploring Sect. The Sea Exploring Sect was very good to those who surrendered to them.
It was because of this that Grandmaster Hui De finally decided to surrender to the Myriad Buddha Temple. With the Myriad Buddha Temple's current strength, it was impossible for them to be a match for the Sea Exploring Sect.
Zhao Hai stood on the city walls of Sky City and looked at the two black dots flying in the distance. He waved his hand and a Myriad Swords Ship immediately flew towards the two black dots. Before long, the two black dots were brought to Sky City.
Zhao Hai didn't go down from the city walls. Instead, he stood on the city walls and looked at the Myriad Buddha Temple. The Myriad Buddha Temple's defensive formation wasn't activated. Seeing this, Zhao Hai understood what was going on.
Sure enough, Ding Chunming led Grandmaster Hui De and Grandmaster Hui Neng to the city walls. Zhao Hai didn't put on airs. Instead, he turned his head and bowed to the two Grandmasters. "Jianjiu greets the two Grandmasters. I'm really happy that the two Grandmasters could come today. Thank you for your righteousness."
Grandmaster Hui De and Grandmaster Hui Neng both understood what Zhao Hai meant. The so-called righteousness meant that they had taken the initiative to surrender in order to avoid a conflict between the two sides.
Grandmaster Hui De looked at Zhao Hai and bowed. "Amitabha. I really didn't expect that we would end our grievances in such a way. Sect Master Jianjiu, I only hope that you will treat the disciples of the Myriad Buddha Temple well in the future."
Zhao Hai looked at Grandmaster Hui De and smiled. "Grandmaster, you're worrying too much. My Scouring Sea Sect has always treated everyone who surrendered to us equally. Now that you've joined the Scouring Sea Sect, you'll be our disciples in the future. Aside from having to follow the Scouring Sea Sect's instructions, nothing else will happen. Grandmaster, you can rest assured about this."
Grandmaster Hui De nodded and then sighed. "Back then, Sect Master Jian had told us many times that the Sacred Gate was ambitious and wanted to attack our Sword Spirit Boundary. However, this old monk didn't believe it and didn't listen. I didn't expect that Sect Master Jian was right. This old monk is ashamed."
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "The Sacred Gate hid it too well. This isn't your fault. Grandmaster, let's go in and talk. I'll tell you the rules of the Scouring Sea Sect. In the future, you'll have to follow the rules of the Scouring Sea Sect. I hope Grandmaster can understand."
"Understood. Sect Master Jian, please." After saying that, Zhao Hai led Grandmaster Hui De and Grandmaster Hui Neng to his study room and told them about the rules of the Scouring Sea Sect. At the same time, he asked Grandmaster Hui Neng to lead the people to take over the Myriad Buddha Temple.
The Myriad Buddha Temple was one of the few large sects in the Sword Spirit Boundary. Not only did the Main Hall occupy a large area, but it also had many branches. Therefore, it was very troublesome to take over the Myriad Buddha Temple. Moreover, the Scouring Sea Sect needed to be reformed.
However, because the Myriad Buddha Temple had sincerely surrendered, it was very easy to take over the Myriad Buddha Temple. It didn't cause any waves.
After taking over the Myriad Buddha Temple, the first thing the Scouring Sea Sect had to do was to arrange the array. They wanted to use the shortest time to arrange the array so that they could prepare for the Sacred Gate's attack.
Although the Sacred Gate hadn't taken over the Evil Ghost Sect and the Demon Sword Sect yet, Zhao Hai was very clear that it was only a matter of time before the Sacred Gate took over the Demon Domain. Therefore, he had to make preparations in advance.
However, Zhao Hai now also felt that the plan didn't change quickly. He originally wanted to repel the Myriad Buddha Temple and then take over their secret domain. When the Sacred Gate took action, they would then take over the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Sect.
Who knew that when they really took action, they felt that things were no longer under their control. They had to make changes. They first took down the alliance of the righteous sects, thus forcing the Sacred Gate to take action. This was something that Zhao Hai didn't expect.
However, they had finally achieved their goal, which was faster than his original plan. After the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect surrendered, their secret domain naturally fell into the hands of the Scouring Sea Sect. The Greater One Spiritual Master and Grandmaster Hui De didn't hide this matter, because there was no need to.
The people of the Formation Hall of the Scouring Sea Sect had already entered the various sects of the alliance of the righteous sects and began to modify the arrays of those sects. They wanted to combine the arrays of the various sects of the alliance of the righteous sects with the great array of the Scouring Sea Sect in the shortest time possible to form a larger array. This was the foundation of their survival.
Just as Zhao Hai and the others were busy arranging the array, he suddenly received a message that Mo Xiangzi and Ghost Shadow had run to the Myriad Buddha Temple and asked to see him. Zhao Hai was taken aback for a moment. He really didn't expect that Mo Xiangzi and Ghost Shadow would come to see him. However, he also guessed that the two were most likely here to surrender, because the Sacred Gate had stepped up their attacks, and the two of them couldn't hold on much longer.
Zhao Hai directly asked people to send them to the Sky City. After arriving at the Sky City, Zhao Hai met the two in the study.
As soon as the two saw Zhao Hai, they cupped their fists at Zhao Hai, and then said loudly, "Mo Xiangzi (Ghost Shadow) pays respect to the Ninth Sword Master. We have come today to ask for forgiveness."
Zhao Hai looked at the two and said with a smile, "Well, you two don't have to be so polite. There's no need to talk about forgiveness. You're doing this for your own sect, and I'm doing this for my own sect. There's no right or wrong. Please take a seat. You two have come today for an important matter, right?"
Zhao Hai and Mo Xiangzi were well aware of what they were here for. However, Zhao Hai couldn't directly say it. He had to let Mo Xiangzi and the others speak. This was the rule, and also a kind of momentum. If Mo Xiangzi and the others spoke, then Zhao Hai would have the upper hand. Therefore, Zhao Hai asked this question.
Mo Xiangzi and Ghost Shadow weren't fools, they also understood Zhao Hai's intentions. Mo Xiangzi and Ghost Shadow didn't sit down, they cupped their fists towards Zhao Hai. Then Mo Xiangzi opened his mouth and said, "Sect Master Jian, I know that we have offended you before, but I hope that you can help us out since we are all from the Sword Spirit Boundary. Now that the Saint Gate is pressuring us, we have no other choice but to ask Sect Master Jian to save us. We are willing to surrender to Sect Master Jian and join the Sea Exploring Sect. The two of us are willing to give up our authority and become idle Elders.
Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, "Sit down and talk. Tell me about your current situation. After all, we're from the Sword Spirit Realm. Naturally, I'll help you if I can." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
After Mo Xiangzi and Ghost Shadow expressed their gratitude, Mo Xiangzi said, "Sect Master Jian, the Sacred Gate's army has begun to attack our two sects. Some of our branches have already been lost, only the Main Hall is still in our hands. Moreover, there aren't only disciples from our two sects in the Main Halls, there are also disciples from other Devil Sects. Although some of them surrendered to the Sacred Gate, those who surrendered were treated as cannon fodder. Therefore, no one surrendered to the Sacred Gate. It seems like the Sacred Gate's people don't want to keep us here."
As soon as Zhao Hai heard Mo Xiangzi's words, he understood what Mo Xiangzi meant. Some of the Devil Sects must have surrendered to the Sacred Gate. But after they surrendered, the Sacred Gate treated them as cannon fodder. This made those who wanted to surrender give up. However, they couldn't defeat the Sacred Gate. Now, they could only defend the Evil Ghost Sect and the Demon Sword Sect's Main Halls. If the Sacred Gate were to attack, then they wouldn't be able to defend these two places. Therefore, they had no choice but to surrender.
Zhao Hai pondered for a moment. When Mo Xiangzi and Ghost Shadow saw that Zhao Hai didn't speak for a long time, they couldn't help but become nervous. They looked at Zhao Hai with apprehension. They didn't know what Zhao Hai meant and whether he would help or not.
After some time, Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, "You two should know that we have just taken over the righteous path's territory. We still need to transform it. Because of this, we can't send troops to help you right now." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "You two should know that we just took over the righteous path's territory.
When they heard Zhao Hai, Mo Xiangzi and Ghost Shadow's complexion couldn't help but change. Their faces were ashen. The Sea Exploring Sect was their only hope. If Zhao Hai didn't agree, then they would be finished.
Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, "Although we can't send troops to help you, if you can give up your territory, then all the disciples of the Demon Sect can enter our Sea Exploring Sect and become our disciples. What do you think?" Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and said, "Yes, we can send troops to help you. But if you give up your territory, then all the disciples of the Demon Sect can join our Sea Exploring Sect and become our disciples.
When they heard Zhao Hai, the two stared for a moment before they immediately understood what Zhao Hai meant. Zhao Hai's meaning was very clear. They can't send troops to help you right now, but if you surrender, then we won't take your territory. If your disciples surrender, then they would become disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect. Zhao Hai's words were very clear.
The two of them were somewhat hesitant. If they gave up their territory, they would become rootless duckweeds. Unlike the people of other sects, after surrendering to the Scouring Sea Sect, their Sect Master could still become a branch hall master. If they gave up their territory and joined the Scouring Sea Sect, then as they had said before, they could only become idle elders.
Power was very tempting. If you don't have it, then you might not feel anything. You might even look down on those in power. But once you taste the sweetness of power, then you would be completely intoxicated.
The power of a Sect Master was like the ruler of a country. Such power was too tempting. Once they grasped this power, they wouldn't want to let it go.
But now, Zhao Hai's meaning was very clear. If you want the Sea Exploring Sect to help you, then we can help you. We can even let you join the Sea Exploring Sect. But are you willing to give up your power? If you are willing to give up your power, then the Sea Exploring Sect will welcome you. If you aren't willing to give up your power, then we won't be able to help you!
