Zhao Hai led Ding Chunming and the others back to the Sea Exploring Sect's camp. Wen Wenhai and the others immediately welcomed them as they followed Zhao Hai back to the main tent. After everyone sat down, Zhao Hai opened his mouth and said, "I'll give the Yi Sect five days. After five days, I'll go and listen to their news. If they surrender to us, then everything will be fine. If they don't, then we won't be polite and will begin our attack. Qing Fang, your people from the Magic Array Hall should start setting up formations outside Cloudmist Peak. These formations should be able to cover the entire Demon Spirit Realm, so start building them now."
Qing Fang stood up and nodded. Zhao Hai had already told them about this matter. He wanted to set up a large formation that can cover the entire Demon Spirit Realm. Now, it's finally time to do it.
Zhao Hai turned his head to Wen Wenhai and said, "Wenhai, you should also prepare for battle. Let the disciples have a good rest. We'll know the result in five days."
Wen Wenhai also nodded. Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Now that the Demon Spirit Realm is basically under our control, only the Yi Sect is left. But we can't relax. The Yi Sect still has more than 700 million disciples. Moreover, they also occupy a favorable terrain. We have to prepare for battle. Do you understand?"
Everyone nodded and said, "Yes, Sect Master can rest assured."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he waved his hand and said, "Go and rest. Arrange for the disciples to rest, but pay attention. Don't let the Yi Sect take advantage of you. Rest is rest, but you must not relax your vigilance." Everyone nodded, then they stood up and saluted Zhao Hai before turning and leaving.
After they left, Zhao Hai looked at the distant Cloud Peak and said, "I hope you can surrender. Otherwise, I'm afraid more people will die." Then he sighed and returned to his tent to rest. Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I hope you can surrender. Otherwise, I'm afraid more people will die."
At this time, the Yi Sect was also in a meeting. After Zhao Hai left, the Sect Master gathered all the elders in the meeting room. After everyone sat down, the Sect Master looked at everyone and said, "I think everyone already knows that Zhao Hai just came. As for why he came, I think everyone should know. He didn't come to persuade us to surrender. Moreover, Zhao Hai didn't hide it and directly said that he came to persuade us to surrender. He said very clearly that he didn't want to see too many casualties in the Sea Exploring Sect. He also didn't want to see our Yi Sect die, so he directly came to persuade us to surrender. What do you all think about this matter?"
Upon hearing the Sect Master, everyone went silent. After all, they weren't ordinary people, they were all Cultivators. They hated the Sea Exploring Sect, but they knew that if they continued to fight, then they would definitely lose. This was because they were now surrounded by two armies. If they continued to fight, then they wouldn't have a good ending. However, they were still unwilling to surrender because they still had hatred in their hearts.
The Sect Master looked at everyone, then he turned to Yi Hu and said, "Yi Hu, tell them what Zhao Hai said. If we really want to fight, how will he attack us?"
Yi Hu understood the Sect Master's meaning, so he naturally knew what to say. He looked at everyone and saw that they were looking at him. Then he said, "Zhao Hai said that if we continue to fight, then he won't let the Sea Exploring Sect attack us directly. Instead, he will set up a large formation outside the Cloud Mist Peak and surround us. Then he will activate the formation and use the astral winds to attack us."
Upon hearing Yi Hu, the faces of the people of the Yi Sect changed. Then they looked at each other. Then one of the elders said, "Sect Master? Is this true? Zhao Hai really said that? Is he really going to set up a large formation to deal with us? "
The Sect Master nodded and said, "Yes, I think that the Sea Exploring Sect also has the ability to do so. When they fought us in the East Sea, it took them more than ten days to build a large formation behind us. That formation is very large. In the end, we were lured into the formation and suffered heavy losses. From this point alone, we can see how powerful they are. Moreover, the Holy Gate's territory is now covered by their formation. In fact, we sent people to investigate the Holy Gate's territory, but almost no one came back. Those who managed to escape said that not long after they entered the Holy Gate's territory, they were attacked by the enemy's formation. One must know that they were scattered and not in the same place. In other words, the Sea Exploring Sect has covered the Holy Gate's territory with formations. Therefore, it wouldn't be difficult for them to make a formation to cover the Cloud Mist Peak."
So it wouldn't be difficult for them to set up a formation to cover the entire Cloud Mist Peak. "Upon hearing the Sect Master's words, everyone went silent. They were very clear that the Sea Exploring Sect had the ability to do so. If they really did so, then the consequences would be very serious.
Upon thinking of this, several people looked at each other. Then one of them said, "Sect Master, what do you think?"
The Sect Master looked at them and said, "Zhao Hai said that after five days, he will come to listen to our letter and see how we respond. If we agree to join the Sea Exploring Sect, then everything will be fine. If we don't, then it will be time for war. I don't think his words are a threat. It's impossible for him to let our Yi Sect continue to exist. For them, the threat is too great."
Everyone nodded. Then the Sect Master continued, "I want to hear everyone's opinion on how to decide. My opinion is to preserve our Yi Sect's inheritance. If we continue to fight with the Sea Exploring Sect, then we will die. If we die, then our Yi Sect's inheritance will be severed. Therefore, my opinion is to join the Sea Exploring Sect. Although we have enmity with the Sea Exploring Sect, they are still our enemy. If we were in their position, then I'm afraid we would be even more ruthless than the Sea Exploring Sect. We can't blame the Sea Exploring Sect. We are all cultivators, we should help them pursue the Great Dao.
What we should do is to seek our own path. "Everyone was silent for a while. After a while, an elder let out a long breath and said," Sect Master is right. We can put down our hatred. We should look forward. We know that if we continue to fight, we will die. If we continue to fight, then we will be courting death. I agree with the Sect Master. "
When everyone heard this, they were silent for a moment before they agreed with the Sect Master. In other words, they all agreed to join the Sea Exploring Sect.
When the Sect Master saw their reactions, he couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "Good, very good. If everyone agrees, then there's one more thing for everyone to do. The main thing is to do some work for the other disciples. We can't let them hold a grudge against the Sea Exploring Sect. If they don't hold a grudge against us after we join the Sea Exploring Sect, then we'll be out of luck. Does everyone understand?" The Sect Master nodded and said, "Alright.
Does everyone understand? "Everyone replied in unison," Yes. Sect Master can rest assured. We understand. "
The Sect Master nodded and said, "Five days later, I will give Zhao Hai an answer. Everyone, use these five days to communicate with the other disciples and listen to their opinions. Go." Everyone nodded before they turned around and left.
However, the Sect Master left Yi Hu and Yi Bao behind. The Sect Master looked at the two and sighed, "I now understand the feelings of the Blue Dragon and the others. When the Blue Dragon and the others surrendered, I looked down on them and thought that they were spineless. But now that I have to make a decision, I know that it's not easy to decide the life and death of hundreds of millions of people."
Yi Hu and Yi Bao looked at the Sect Master and agreed, "Sect Master, you did the right thing. In the future, people will give you a fair evaluation."
The Sect Master shook his head and then said in a deep voice, "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. I don't even know whether the decision this time was correct or not. But no matter what, what we are doing now is indeed allowing the hundreds of millions of disciples of our Yi Sect to survive. This is enough."
Yi Hu and Yi Bao really didn't know what to say. They could deeply feel the Sect Master's impatience in this matter. It must be said that in the entire Yi Sect, the one who didn't want to surrender the most was him. He was the Sect Master of the Yi Sect, and his words were absolute. But in the Sea Exploring Sect, he was at most a hall master. There were people above him controlling everything. Nobody would want to live such a life. But in order to let the hundreds of millions of disciples of the Yi Sect live, he finally decided to surrender. He was really a person worthy of admiration.
The Sect Master didn't care about what they were thinking. He looked at them and said, "You two can leave. Pay attention to appeasing the disciples. Don't make any trouble."
Yi Hu and Yi Bao nodded. Then they gave a salute to the Sect Master and turned around to leave. After they left, the Sect Master sighed and returned to his room.
In the next few days, the elders of the Yi Sect had been looking for the disciples in charge to talk about surrendering to the Sea Exploring Sect. Just like what the Sect Master said, there were still many disciples who didn't want to surrender. They would rather go all out against the Sea Exploring Sect. But after the elders' analysis, they also knew that if they continued to fight against the Sea Exploring Sect, then they wouldn't be fighting with their lives on the line. It was precisely because of this that the disciples slowly stopped saying that they didn't want to surrender. After all, they were cultivators, and they didn't want to die.
The Sect Master was also observing these disciples. He discovered that among these disciples, a large number of them didn't want to fight. This was because they knew that fighting would only lead to death. So now that the elders said that they wanted to surrender to the Sea Exploring Sect, although these disciples said a few words on the surface, they were actually very happy in their hearts. Looking at their appearance, the Sect Master finally realized that his decision was correct. He didn't know that there were so many disciples who didn't want to fight anymore. Moreover, such disciples accounted for the majority. If he really decided to fight, then these disciples would surrender on their own.
Thinking of this, the Sect Master couldn't help but sigh. But at the same time, he was completely relieved. As long as the majority of the disciples agreed to surrender, then it would be fine.
