This wasn't a statue! After Zhao Hai saw the statue clearly, he immediately knew that it wasn't a statue. Or rather, it wasn't an ordinary statue. It should be said that it was a statue that had been refined with fire. It could also be said that it was a statue that had been cast.
Statues were generally carved slowly with things like knives and axes. Even if a person's carving skills were superb, there would still be traces left behind. However, this statue didn't have any traces of carving. All the traces were polished very smoothly. It was precisely because of this that this statue looked so round and lifelike.
Soon, the car stopped in the square below the statue. The square was now surrounded by a lot of people. Xuan Fei opened the car door and invited Zhao Hai to get out. As soon as Zhao Hai got out of the car, he heard a burst of laughter. Then, a cultivator walked towards Zhao Hai. When Zhao Hai saw this person, he was stunned. This person seemed to be about 40 years old. He looked very young. Most importantly, this person's appearance was somewhat similar to the statue.
The cultivator cupped his fists towards Zhao Hai and said, "Western Deity Sect Master, Luo Guan, greets Sect Master Zhao Hai. This Luo didn't come out to meet you. Please forgive me, Sect Master Zhao Hai."
When Zhao Hai heard this, he quickly said, "Sect Master Luo is too polite. Please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit Zhao Hai."
Luo Guan smiled and said, "As soon as the Sea Exploring Sect was established, it took down three sects. This Luo admires your strength very much. It's an honor for Sect Master Zhao Hai to come to my Western Deity Sect."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Sect Master Luo is too polite. I wonder what your relationship is with the Immortal who ascended more than a hundred years ago?"
Luo Guan smiled slightly and said, "It's my ancestor!" Although he only smiled and looked like he didn't care, there was a hint of pride in his tone. Obviously, Zhao Hai's question had tickled his itch.
Zhao Hai pretended to be stunned. Then, he quickly said, "So you are a descendant of an Immortal. I have been disrespectful. Is this the statue of an Immortal? Immortal Xinzun deserves to be worshipped. "
When Luo Guan heard Zhao Hai say this, his expression couldn't help but turn serious. Then, he said, "Sect Master Zhao Hai, please. Come, burn the incense!" As soon as he said this, a disciple immediately responded. Then, he picked up three incense sticks from a nearby table and handed them over to Zhao Hai.
Each of the three incense sticks was as thick as an arm and incense wood was used at the bottom. Zhao Hai picked up the three incense sticks and slowly walked over to the statue. In front of the statue was a large cauldron. This cauldron was made up of five cauldrons. It was 10 meters long, five meters wide, and about 20 meters tall. There were cloud and fire patterns on it, as well as the various forms of life in the world. It looked extremely mysterious.
Zhao Hai walked to the large cauldron, held the three incense sticks in his hand, and bowed gently. The three incense sticks ignited without any wind. Zhao Hai bowed twice more. Then, the three incense sticks in his hand flew directly into the large cauldron.
When the people of the Western Deity Sect saw Zhao Hai's actions, their expressions gradually softened. When the three incense sticks were inserted into the large cauldron, Zhao Hai stepped back. Luo Guan also stepped forward. However, the expression on his face was much gentler. The way he looked at Zhao Hai was even more intimate. He smiled at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master Zhao, please follow me. I have already prepared food and wine in the main hall to welcome you. Please."
Zhao Hai hurriedly replied, "Sorry to trouble you, Sect Master Luo. Please!" After saying that, he followed Luo Guan forward. Ding Chunming and Long Dingtian followed behind him. The group walked into the main hall of the Western Deity Sect.
The main hall of the Western Divine Sect was actually at the bottom of the crater. There was a huge cave here, and this cave was the main hall of the Western Divine Sect. The main hall was about ten meters high, and there were huge pillars inside. In the middle of the main hall, there was a fire pit, and inside, there were also raging flames.
In the innermost part of the hall, there was a platform about two meters high. On top of the platform, there was a large chair. This large chair was made of red jade, and the back of the chair was carved into the shape of a flame. It was very beautiful.
Below the high platform, there were many small chairs. In front of each small chair, there was a small table. One of the small chairs was made of white jade. Among the other small chairs, it was like a crane among a flock of chickens. It was very different from the other small chairs.
After Luo Guan entered the main hall, he walked up to the high platform and sat on the large chair. Xuan Fei led Zhao Hai to the small white jade chair and sat down. Ding Chunming and Long Dingtian stood behind Zhao Hai.
Luo Guan sat there and looked at Zhao Hai. He said in a deep voice, "Sect Master Zhao's visit today really makes the entire Western Deity Sect feel extremely honored. Sect Master Zhao, please." After saying that, he picked up the teacup in front of him and toasted Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai also picked up the teacup on the small table in front of him and toasted Luo Guan. Then, the two of them drank a mouthful of tea.
Just as they put down the teacup, a disciple immediately began to place the dishes on the small table. All kinds of wine and dishes were placed on the small table. In just a short while, the small table was filled.
Luo Guan smiled and said to Zhao Hai, "Sect Master Zhao, come and try the specialty food of my Western Deity Sect. These foods are all grown by the sect's disciples on the Volcanic Dragon Mountain. Even those demonic beasts were raised by us on the Volcanic Dragon Mountain. They contain a large amount of Fire Spirit Qi. Eating them can make the Fire Spirit Qi purer. If it wasn't for the environment of the Volcanic Dragon Mountain being blessed by the heavens, it wouldn't be possible to grow these spiritual beasts in other places."
Zhao Hai smiled at Luo Guan and said, "Thank you, Sect Master Luo. Then, I will have a good taste." After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and tasted the food on the table. The ingredients were very good, but the processing of the food was still a little lacking. Although the taste was alright, it destroyed some of the spiritual qi in the food and also the taste of the food itself. Zhao Hai didn't like it very much.
However, he still tasted a few dishes. Then, he put down the chopsticks and said to Luo Guan, "The fruit is very good. The fire spiritual qi is abundant and the taste is very unique. It's very delicious. Thank you, Sect Master Luo."
Luo Guan smiled and said, "It's good that Sect Master Zhao likes it. Although there are three mountains where the Sea Exploration Sect is located, there isn't anything special about them. When Sect Master Zhao returns, I will send some people to deliver some ingredients to Sect Master Zhao. I hope Sect Master Zhao doesn't dislike them."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Thank you, Sect Master Luo."
Luo Guan looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master Zhao is too polite. The fact that you chose my Western Deity Sect as your first stop shows that you think highly of my Western Deity Sect. In the future, the Western Deity Sect will naturally be a brother sect with the Sea Exploration Sect. If the Sea Exploration Sect needs anything, please don't hesitate to ask." Luo Guan's words were already probing. What brother sect? That was just a joke. The main point of his words was the second half. He wanted to know the purpose of the Sea Exploration Sect's visit to the Western Deity Sect this time.
Of course, Zhao Hai understood the meaning of Luo Guan's words. He immediately said, "If that's the case, this Zhao won't be polite. Sect Master Luo, my Sea Exploration Sect originally had no relationship with the Kunshan Sect. However, the Kunshan Sect secretly sent people to assassinate an elder of my Sea Exploration Sect. How can this enmity not be avenged? This time, I came to the Western Deity Sect to ask the Western Deity Sect to join forces with my Sea Exploration Sect to deal with the Kunshan Sect. If we can defeat the Kunshan Sect with the combined strength of our two sects, then the Kunshan Sect's main hall and the land on the mountain will belong to the Western Deity Sect. My Sea Exploration Sect only needs the land below the mountain."
This was something that Zhao Hai had already thought about. Although the area of the Kunshan Sect's mountain wasn't as big as the land below the mountain, the land on the mountain was much more useful than the land below the mountain. After all, it was the main hall of the Kunshan Sect. Moreover, the Kunshan Sect had been operating for many years. There were also some spiritual fields and spiritual stone mines on the mountain. Therefore, the land on the mountain was much more useful than the land below the mountain.
When Luo Guan heard Zhao Hai's words, he stared blankly for a moment. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Oh? The Kunshan Sect actually attacked the Sea Exploration Sect? This Luo Guan really didn't think that they would be so bold. "
In fact, Luo Guan really knew about this matter. Moreover, it wasn't just the Kunshan Sect. Even the Western Deity Sect had sent people into the Sea Exploration Sect to assassinate Zhao Hai or some of the elders of the Sea Exploration Sect. Of course, the Kunshan Sect had done the same. Therefore, although Luo Guan looked stunned, he was just pretending. He knew about this matter.
Zhao Hai replied, "It's true. My Sea Exploration Sect and the Kunshan Sect have no enmity in the past. But they actually attacked my Sea Exploration Sect for no reason. How could my Sea Exploration Sect tolerate this? Therefore, we must dispatch our troops this time. However, with the strength of my Sea Exploration Sect, it's impossible for us to take down the Kunshan Sect. However, if the Western Deity Sect and my Sea Exploration Sect work together, we'll have a great chance of taking down the Kunshan Sect. If my Sea Exploration Sect dispatches troops alone, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for some time."
Zhao Hai's words were actually hinting that the Sea Exploration Sect wanted to dispatch troops to deal with the Kunshan Sect. However, if the Sea Exploration Sect were to dispatch troops to deal with the Kunshan Sect alone, they might not be able to take down the Kunshan Sect. In the end, both sides would suffer losses, which would only benefit the Western Deity Sect. Therefore, if the Western Deity Sect didn't dispatch troops, the Sea Exploration Sect wouldn't dispatch troops either.
Luo Guan wasn't a fool. He immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Hai's words. He looked at Zhao Hai and asked, "Then how many troops can the Sea Exploration Sect dispatch if our two sects dispatch troops together?"
Zhao Hai didn't even think about it before replying, "200,000 Qi Refinement Realm and above disciples and 100 large artifacts!"
This number could be said to be a drop in the ocean for the Scouring Sea Sect. It was pitifully small. However, for a sect like the Western Deity Sect, this number wasn't small. Of course, compared to the Western Deity Sect, this number was still considered small. However, the fact that the Scouring Sea Sect didn't hesitate to dispatch so many troops was enough to make Luo Guan very surprised.
Luo Guan glanced at Zhao Hai and said, "Does the Sea Exploration Sect want to take down the Kunshan Sect with such a small number of troops? I'm afraid that's impossible. As far as I know, the number of disciples in the Kunshan Sect is no less than 10 million. The Sea Exploration Sect only dispatched 200,000 disciples. How can they take down the Kunshan Sect? "
Zhao Hai replied, "To be honest, my Sea Exploring Sect has suffered some losses in taking down the three sects. Additionally, the disciples of the three sects have yet to surrender. My Sea Exploring Sect can't bring out too many people. However, we can still bring out 100 large artifacts. If we squeeze a little more, we can bring out 200 thousand people. This is the most that my Sea Exploring Sect can bring out." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I'll be honest with you.
