It wasn't a simple matter to eliminate five million people. Even if they used the Scouring Sea Sect's formation, it was still a very troublesome matter. However, the disciples of the Scouring Sea Sect weren't idle either. They would also attack the people of the Holy Gate. This way, the speed would be faster.
However, when the disciples of the Scouring Sea Sect appeared in the formation, they might not feel anything, but the people of the Holy Gate wouldn't treat them as disciples of the Scouring Sea Sect. Instead, they would treat them as something else. This was the power of the illusory formation. The people of the Holy Gate didn't know that they were being attacked by the disciples of the Scouring Sea Sect. They thought that it was an energy, or multiple energies, or a demonic beast, or something else. They wouldn't think that they were the disciples of the Scouring Sea Sect.
If a person was fighting with you, but you didn't know that the opponent was a person, you would lose without a doubt. In fact, the disciples of the Holy Gate would be defeated this time.
Of course, there were also some disciples who were quick to react or had studied formations and illusory formations. They managed to escape from the Scouring Sea Sect's formation. However, whether it was Captain Zi or Hu Weiyi, they couldn't escape from the formation. They didn't dare to attack the formation of the Scouring Sea Sect. They could only retreat to the Devil Domain and immediately ask for help from the Holy Gate.
Zhao Hai had been watching the Holy Gate these days. He was very clear that these five million people weren't the full strength of the Holy Gate. Now, the Holy Gate could at least take out an army of ten million in the Devil Domain. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai had been very careful. He didn't dare to lead the army to the Devil Domain. In that case, they wouldn't have the advantage of formations, and the loss of disciples would be too great.
Especially this time, after some disciples of the Holy Gate surrendered, Zhao Hai had some understanding of the Holy Gate. Therefore, he was even more careful.
The number of disciples in the Sword Spirit World and Holy Gate's secret realm was only a small portion of the Holy Gate's true disciples. In other words, the number of Holy Gate's disciples was definitely beyond his imagination. Under such circumstances, if he rashly attacked the Holy Gate, the consequences would be dire.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai had always been very careful. He would rather deal with a portion of the Saint Gate's disciples first, and then prepare for a period of time before sending out his troops.
What was the advantage of the Sea Exploring Sect? Zhao Hai analyzed the situation. He believed that the Sea Exploration Sect had two main advantages. First, arrays. Needless to say, the Sea Exploration Sect's array level was equivalent to Zhao Hai's array level. No matter how the Holy Gate's array level developed, it was still far from being comparable to Zhao Hai's.
Second, the Sky City. When it came to the number of disciples and supreme elders, the Holy Gate was afraid that they were no match for the Sky City. However, the Sky City was unique to the Sea Exploring Sect. The Holy Gate absolutely didn't have a Sky City.
The Sky City and arrays were the biggest reliance of the Sea Exploring Sect. Therefore, the most important thing was to make full use of these two advantages. Therefore, what Zhao Hai wanted to do now was to eliminate the five million Holy Gate's disciples first. Then, he would enter the Devil Domain and occupy a territory there. This territory would be nailed to the Devil Domain like a nail. Then, he would dispatch troops from the Sea Exploring Sect. Using the Sky City and the territory he occupied in the Devil Domain, he would devour the entire Devil Domain bit by bit.
As long as the Holy Gate's people were beaten back to the Holy Gate's secret realm, he would be able to develop the Sword Spirit World in peace. Then, he would think of a way to take over the Holy Gate's secret realm. Finally, he would dispatch troops to the Demon Spirit World.
In fact, when Zhao Hai heard the name 'Demon Spirit World', he had a thought. Could this Demon Spirit World also be a part of the original Sword Spirit World? Later, for some reason, it was separated and became a relatively independent world. If this was the case, then it would be interesting.
However, from the name 'Demon Spirit World', one could infer some meaning. Don't forget that Zhao Hai had been in contact with people from the Spiritual World before. He was very clear about what kind of existence the Spiritual World was.
The Spiritual World, the Sword Spirit World, and the Demon Spirit World. These three worlds only differed by one word. If one were to say that there was no relationship between them, even Zhao Hai wouldn't believe it. Therefore, he believed that the Demon Spirit World must be related to the Sword Spirit World in the past. However, for some reason, they separated and became two relatively independent worlds. Zhao Hai had an intuition that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this matter. As for what it was, he didn't know yet, but he believed that he would find out sooner or later!
However, this wasn't within Zhao Hai's consideration now. He couldn't care so much now. However, he had no way to investigate what was behind this. He had to deal with the matter in front of him first. Zhao Hai could still distinguish between priority and urgency.
After nearly ten days of war, the people from the Holy Gate who entered the Sea Exploring Sect were finally eliminated. What surprised Zhao Hai was that only ten thousand people out of five million people surrendered in the end. The rest were all killed in battle.
Zhao Hai naturally settled down those who surrendered so that they could integrate into the Sea Exploring Sect as soon as possible. Of course, Zhao Hai wouldn't arrange for them to be at the front line, but sent them to the rear.
After eliminating all the people from the Holy Gate who entered the Sea Exploring Sect, this war was basically over. It wasn't that Zhao Hai didn't think of taking the opportunity to attack the Devil Domain. However, he soon discovered that he had miscalculated. When the news of Hu Weiyi and the others being trapped in the Sea Exploring Sect reached the Holy Gate, the Holy Gate immediately sent reinforcements to the Devil Domain. Now, the Holy Gate's military strength in the Devil Domain had reached fifty million. Such a number was really amazing. Even if Zhao Hai's battle strength was higher than the other party, he still didn't dare to attack the Devil Domain. This was because it would cause the Holy Gate to counterattack with full force. When the time comes, their casualties would be very high.
After wiping out Hu Weiyi's 5 million people and cleaning up the battlefield, Zhao Hai called everyone to Sky City. After everyone arrived, Zhao Hai looked at everyone and smiled faintly, "Everyone did a good job this time. With a small price, you were able to wipe out so many people. I want to give everyone a great merit." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Everyone, you've done a great job this time.
When they heard Zhao Hai's words, everyone couldn't help but feel embarrassed. They felt that they didn't do a good job this time. This was because the other party was trapped in the formation. It can be said that the formation was the one that put in the effort. They didn't put in much effort.
However, they were still very happy with Zhao Hai's words. Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled faintly, "You don't need to feel embarrassed. This is your merit. The reward will be given according to the sect rules. Let's not talk about this. What I want to talk about is what we're going to do next."
When they heard Zhao Hai, everyone's expression turned serious. They knew that the reward wasn't important. What they were going to do next was the most important.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "What we're going to do next is very simple. We're going to attack the Holy Gate. We'll start with the Devil Domain and take down the Holy Gate bit by bit."
Everyone looked excited. If they could really take down the Devil Domain, then it would be equivalent to unifying the entire Sword Spirit World. This was an unprecedented feat. How could they not be happy? It was especially so for Ghost Shadow. His eyes were red. Compared to the others, his feelings were deeper. He was a member of the Tribulation Gate and lived in the Devil's domain. If he could really take down the Devil's domain, it would be of great significance to him.
Zhao Hai's eyes swept across everyone and also paid attention to Ghost Shadow. However, he didn't pay too much attention to him. Instead, he said, "We can't attack the Devil Domain by force. If we do that, it would only be more troublesome. Therefore, we need to be prepared and take it one step at a time. The first step is to occupy a territory in the Devil Domain. Does anyone have any thoughts?"
Everyone thought for a moment before turning their heads to look at Ghost Shadow. Ghost Shadow came from the Devil Domain. He knew more about the Devil Domain's situation than them. Therefore, everyone looked at Ghost Shadow.
When Ghost Shadow saw everyone's gaze, he stared blankly for a moment. Then he understood what everyone was thinking and felt a little embarrassed. Zhao Hai looked at Ghost Shadow and couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems like everyone knows their place. Since you know about the Devil Domain, let Ghost Shadow do the talking. Ghost Shadow, you don't have to be polite. Tell us."
Ghost Shadow stood up and bowed to Zhao Hai, "Yes, Sect Master. Everyone, I'm very familiar with the Devil Domain's situation. If we really want to fight in the Devil Domain, then I think the best place would be the Poison Mist Forest."
Ghost Shadow paused for a moment before continuing, "The Poison Fog Forest is the headquarters of the Poison Dragon Sect. That place is shrouded in poison fog all year round. Ordinary people can't enter. Last time, when we dealt with the Poison Dragon Sect with the Demon Sword Sect, if it wasn't for the traitor, we wouldn't have been able to take down the Poison Dragon Sect. The Poison Fog Forest is definitely the most suitable place. The poison fog can act as a barrier to our sky. If we add in the formation arranged by our sect, the might of the poison fog will be even greater. It's precisely because of the poison that the Holy Gate didn't send many people there. It's also more convenient for us to take action."
It'll be easier for us to deal with it. "When everyone heard Ghost Shadow, they couldn't help but nod. They had already heard about the Poison Mist Forest's situation. However, because it was the Poison Dragon Sect's headquarters, they didn't go there. Now that they heard Ghost Shadow's words, they felt that it was a very suitable place.
Zhao Hai also looked at Ghost Shadow and nodded, "Ghost Shadow is right. The Poison Mist Forest is indeed a very suitable place. The poison mist there is very strong. Moreover, because it's the Poison Dragon Sect's headquarters, its area is very large. It's very suitable for people to camp there. As long as we arrange a formation there, it'll be the best base."
Hearing that Zhao Hai agreed, Ghost Shadow couldn't help but be shaken. He continued, "Sect Master, because the Poison Mist Forest is the Poison Dragon Sect's headquarters, and the Poison Dragon Sect is a Great Sect of the Devil Domain, its location is very important. As long as we occupy that place, it'll be the same as hammering a nail into the Devil Domain. When the time comes, whether we advance or retreat, it'll be easier."
