Mo Xiangzi and Ghost Shadow were now in a dilemma. They really didn't want to give up the power in their hands. Although they had previously said that they were willing to be idle elders for the sake of the sect's cultivators, those were just words. It would be strange if a person who had been in a high position for a long time suddenly lost all his power.
But now, Zhao Hai had clearly told them that if they wanted to live and join the Exploration Sea Sect, they had to give up everything they had now. Otherwise, there was nothing he could do.
Mo Xiangzi and Ghost Shadow didn't know what to say. After a while, the two of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Then, Mo Xiangzi stood up and cupped his fists at Zhao Hai. "Thank you, Sword Sect. We are willing to move all our disciples to the Exploration Sea Sect immediately."
They also understood that if they didn't join the Exploration Sea Sect, they would only have two choices. One was to fight the Sacred Gate to the death. Given their current situation, they simply couldn't win against the Sacred Gate. In the end, they would only die in battle. The other was to surrender to the Sacred Gate. However, surrendering to the Sacred Gate was equivalent to surrendering to the foreign races. Surrendering to the foreign races wasn't a big deal for them. What they were worried about was being used as cannon fodder by the Sacred Gate.
They weren't naive enough to think that after surrendering to the Sacred Gate and the Sacred Gate took over the Devil Domain, the entire Sword Spirit Boundary would be at peace and the Exploration Sea Sect and the Sacred Gate could rule across the river. That was obviously impossible. In the future, there would definitely be a war between the Sacred Gate and the Exploration Sea Sect. If they really surrendered to the Sacred Gate, they would definitely be used as cannon fodder. On the other hand, if they joined the Sea Exploration Sect, they wouldn't have to worry about such a situation. The Sea Exploration Sect had taken in so many sects, but they had never heard of them using people from other sects as cannon fodder. Thus, once they joined the Sea Exploration Sect, their safety would be guaranteed.
It was also because of this that Mo Xiangzi and Ghost Shadow finally decided to join the Exploration Sea Sect. No matter what, joining the Exploration Sea Sect was much better than joining the Sacred Gate.
Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and laughed. He stood up and said, "Good, very good. I'm very happy that the two of you can make such a decision. Alright, then it's decided. The two of you can immediately return and bring everything you can. Send all the disciples to the Sea Exploring Sect. In the future, you'll be part of the Sea Exploring Sect."
The two of them responded, but their voices were slightly bitter. After all, they would no longer be sect masters after making this decision. Instead, they would become elders of the Sea Exploration Sect.
However, the two also knew that this wasn't the time to talk about this. They still had a lot of things to do. Therefore, the two bade farewell to Zhao Hai and left the room. Then they took the transmission formation and left Sky City.
After the two of them left, Laura and the others appeared in the room. Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, it seems like they can't hold on any longer. Otherwise, they wouldn't have surrendered."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right. If they weren't unable to hold on, then they would never surrender to us. After all, we were enemies. It seems like the fighting strength of the Holy Gate really can't be underestimated." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
Laura nodded and said, "Right, the combat strength of the Holy Gate really can't be underestimated. When we face them in the future, we need to be careful. Moreover, their military strength is still increasing. I really don't know what kind of status the Holy Gate has in the other plane. How come people like Shui Zhi didn't know about the Holy Gate's situation in the other plane while they were able to bring out so many troops?" Laura nodded and said, "That's right. The Holy Gate's combat strength really can't be underestimated.
Zhao Hai replied, "Shui Zhi's strength isn't weak, but he still can't be considered a core disciple of the Sacred Gate. This shows how strong the Sacred Gate is. I'm starting to suspect that the Sacred Gate's Secret Realm isn't the Main Hall at all. Perhaps it's just a branch. However, this is just a guess, we'll have to wait until the time comes."
Laura nodded and said, "We'll know sooner or later. Brother Hai, what should we do next?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Let's just wait. Now that the Demon Sect has joined our Sea Exploring Sect, we still need to swallow the Righteous Dao Alliance's territory. We need some time to digest it. I'm afraid that the Holy Gate wouldn't dare to attack us in a short period of time. After all, they already knew about our strength in the last battle. If they aren't confident, then they wouldn't attack us. This will give us time to digest our territory and prepare for the decisive battle with the Holy Gate." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Alright.
Mo Xiangzi and Ghost Shadow's speed was very fast. After they returned, they immediately began to send some low-level disciples to the Sea Exploring Sect. The Sea Exploring Sect was also prepared to receive them. The disciples who came were immediately sent to the various halls of the Sea Exploring Sect to be taught by the people there.
At the same time, Zhao Hai was also paying attention to the changes in the Demon Realm. In order to allow Mo Xiangzi and Ghost Shadow to smoothly withdraw, Zhao Hai personally led Sky City to the Jingwei River, making it seem as if they were going to cross the river and fight.
Seeing this situation, the Holy Gate's people became even more cautious. They didn't dare to attack the Demon Sword Sect and Evil Ghost Sect with full force. This gave the two sects a chance to catch their breath. The two sects also sped up their movements.
It took five days for the Demon Sword Sect and the Evil Ghost Sect to transfer all of their disciples to the Sea Exploring Sect. All of the sect's resources were also transferred over. Only the large artifacts couldn't be transferred over. However, Zhao Hai also made it clear that the large artifacts couldn't be left behind for the Sacred Gate's people.
Mo Xiangzi and Ghost Shadow immediately understood Zhao Hai's meaning. The two made some preparations and then made arrangements for the large artifacts. They were prepared to wait for the Sacred Gate's people to enter their sects before detonating the large artifacts. At that time, they would deal with the Sacred Gate's people.
When Mo Xiangzi and Ghost Shadow arrived at the Sea Exploring Sect, they were directly called by Zhao Hai to his study. When the two arrived, they immediately gave a salute to Zhao Hai and said, "We have seen the Sect Master."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to be polite. Take a seat. Now that you're one of us, I'll talk about the arrangements for you."
As soon as the two heard Zhao Hai, their spirits rose. They knew very well that this matter was related to their future status. They had no choice but to listen carefully.
Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, "You have two choices. You might not know this, but the Evil Ghost Sect's Secret Territory is currently in our hands. The Secret Territory's Secret Territory is also in our hands, as well as the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple's Secret Territory. Therefore, I'll give you two choices. You can choose one of the Secret Territories and become a Hall Master. The Hall Master of the Secret Territory is responsible for managing the various cities. You might not know this, but our Sea Exploring Sect has its own Secret Territory. The Hall Masters of these Secret Territories are mainly responsible for managing the various cities. When they discover talents in the cities, they can be sent to the various academies to be nurtured. You can also send them directly to the Main Hall for a unified arrangement. You should already know about the situation of the Sea Exploring Sect. We've just taken over the Righteous Dao Alliance, so there are a lot of things that we need to do. You're not very familiar with the Sea Exploring Sect's situation, so you can go there to train first. Once you're familiar with the Sea Exploring Sect, you can change your environment. What do you think? "
The two quietly listened to Zhao Hai. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would be able to take over the secret realms of the Evil Ghost Sect, the Tianyi Dao Sect, and the Myriad Buddha Temple. This was very shocking.
At this time, Mo Xiangzi looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master, can I go back to the Demon Sword Sect's secret realm?"
Hearing Mo Xiangzi, Ghost Shadow couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He felt that Mo Xiangzi must have a problem with his head for him to make such a request. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to make such a request. Go back to the Demon Sword Sect's secret realm? You came from there. If we let you go back now, what if you declare yourself a king? Aren't you talking about your own Eastern Freedom?
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "You can. You can also play a role in pacifying the people of the Demon Sword Sect's secret realm. Because of our attack, the commoners there rebelled. We killed a lot of them. Nearly half of the people in the secret realm were killed. Now that we've taken control of the secret realm, there's still some resistance among the commoners. If you go back and pacify them, they might feel better."
Mo Xiangzi sucked in a breath of cold air. Zhao Hai's words were very soft. Half of the people in the secret realm were gone just like that. Ghost Shadow didn't know about this, but Mo Xiangzi was very clear. Half of the people in the secret realm were tens of millions of people. How could he not be shocked when he heard that they were killed?
Zhao Hai turned to Ghost Shadow and said, "Ghost Shadow, your Evil Ghost Sect has a lot of work to do this time. After many battles, whether it's the Sword Spirit Realm, the Southern Sea, or the secret realm, many Yin Corpses have appeared. Ghosts often appear in those places. I didn't have the disciples deal with those ghosts. Now that you've come, you can deal with those ghosts and increase your strength."
Ghost Shadow was stunned for a moment before he became overjoyed. People who practiced the Ghost Dao liked Yin Corpse Land the most. This was because these places were particularly prone to producing all kinds of ghosts, such as evil spirits, zombies, and so on. These things were very dangerous for ordinary people. For ordinary cultivators, they were just a nuisance. However, for Ghost Cultivators, they were good things. They could subdue these things and use them for their own purposes. This was a great thing.
Ghost Shadow quickly replied, "Many thanks, Sect Master."
Zhao Hai waved his hand, then he turned to Mo Xiangzi and said, "Mo Xiangzi, do you want to return to the Demon Sword Sect's secret realm? If you really want to go back, then I'll let you go tomorrow. "
Mo Xiangzi thought for a moment, then he said, "Yes, Sect Master. I want to go back."
