Zhao Hai couldnât help but be stunned when he heard Long Tian. This expression changed. Long Tian would never scare him using words. Long Tianâs words could only mean one thing. The Long Tian received information that a sect of the Righteous Faction was colluding with the Devil and the Demonic Factions. The consequences would be unimaginable if that was the case.
Long Tian saw Zhao Haiâs expression and said, âAlthough we arenât completely sure, several sects in the Righteous Factions have been acting very strange. So, you have to be careful. As for who these sects are, you donât have to ask. Theyâre nothing more than the enemies of the Tyrant Blade Sect. In any case, the Tyrant Blade Sect is already on guard. Even if something happens, knowing wonât matter.â
Zhao Hai nodded, but he had several thoughts in his mind. He knew that although the Tyrant Blade Sect was very domineering in the True Spirit Realm, if you look into it, they havenât really offended a lot of people. This meant that the Tyrant Blade Sect didnât have a lot of enemies. The sectâs biggest enemies were the Sword Hegemon Sect, Imperial Beast Sect, and the Matchless Sword School. Although Long Tian didnât allow Zhao Hai to know about the identity of the traitors, Zhao Hai was sure that the enemies of the Tyrant Blade Sect would be among them.
Long Tian also mentioned that some of the sects in the True Spirit Realm were acting very strange. There werenât a lot of sects in the True Spirit Realm which were doing strange actions. The three enemies of the Tyrant Blade Sect happened to be among them. This affirmed Zhao Haiâs suspicions.
However, as Long Tian said, the Tyrant Blade Sect didnât need to care about whatâs outside. The most important thing for the sect right now was to make themselves invincible. Moreover, even if the sectâs enemies didnât collude with the Demon and Devil Factions, the Tyrant Blade Sect would still guard against them. Whether they turned traitor or not, the Tyrant Blade Sect didnât really need to care.
Looking at Zhao Haiâs face, Long Tian knew that he understood. He couldnât help but smile. He could tell Zhao Hai about the exact information available to the Long Clan. However, the Long Clan has its own status to keep. Even the Clan Head couldnât recklessly mention available information. As for the chaos that was about to happen in the True Spirit Realm, there were a lot of clan members that were opposed to participating. They want the Long Clan to keep their hands off the matter. There were even people in the clan that proposed to expel Zhao Hai from the Clan or make him stay in Coiling Dragon City. Such a proposal had quite a number of people backing it.
The second condition was made because Zhao Hai and his wives had already established themselves in the city and were quite popular. They taught children well. Thus, there were also plenty of people who opposed the proposals.
It was also because of this that Long Tian didnât dare tell Zhao Hai too many things. He was afraid that people in the clan would make an issue about this matter.
To be honest, in Long Tianâs opinion, the people who wanted to drive Zhao Hai out of the clan were also thinking for the good of the clan. However, Long Tian was against driving Zhao Hai away. Zhao Hai was a rare talent, and Long Tian didnât want such a talent to get on the opposite side of the Long Clan.
Zhao Hai looked at Long Tian and said, âElder, thank you very much. If thereâs nothing else, then Iâll be taking my leave.â
Long Tian nodded and sighed, âGo. Always be careful. Remember, no matter what, youâre a person of the Long Clan.â
Zhao Hai nodded, then he stood up and gave a salute to Long Tian. Then he turned around and left. Looking at Zhao Haiâs back, Long Tian couldnât help but sigh.
Zhao Hai returned to his courtyard and immediately returned to the Tyrant Blade Sect. Then he relayed Long Tianâs words to the Yin Yang Elders, who attached great importance to this matter. The Tyrant Blade Sect was like Zhao Hai thought. They have already contacted the True Dao Sect. The two sects would advance and retreat together, which was good news for the Tyrant Blade Sect.
Zhao Hai wanted to use this opportunity to stay in the Tyrant Blade Sect for some time. However, his plan was disrupted. Wei Tiande has sent someone to look for him. This surprised Zhao Hai.
Back in the underground world, Wei Tiande knew that Zhao Hai was in seclusion. So why would Wei Tiande call him right now?
Zhao Hai immediately returned to the underground world and exited from his room. Then he went to Wei Tiandeâs residence. Outside Wei Tiandeâs room, Zhao Hai cupped his fist and said, âDisciple Zhao Ling is here to see Master.â
Wei Tiandeâs voice replied, âCome in.â Zhao Hai complied and entered Wei Tiandeâs residence. This time, Wei Tiande wasnât sitting down but instead walking back and forth in his living room. This surprised Zhao Hai. He looked at Wei Tiande in confusion, but he didnât say anything.
After some time, Wei Tiande looked at Zhao Hai and said, âXiao Ling, how are you doing with the cultivation method I gave you last time?â
Zhao Hai stared, then he immediately replied, âReplying to Master, I still have no result.â
Wei Tiande nodded, âYouâll have more opportunities to cultivate in the future. But thereâs one thing you need to do right now. This matter is very urgent. Besides you, we have no other candidate, so I asked someone to call you out.â
Although Zhao Hai was confused, he still replied, âYes, Master.â
Wei Tiande nodded, âThe Sect received news that something may be happening in the True Spirit Realm. Whether this is true or not, we donât know yet. Therefore, the sect is going to send cultivators to the True Spirit Realm to check the situation. Although you are a ghost cultivator, the cultivation methods that you practice are like the Demonic Faction. The sect is going to send you to the True Spirit Realm to investigate and confirm the news we received.â
When he heard Wei Tiande, Zhao Hai couldnât help but stare. He didnât expect this to be his mission. However, he immediately replied, âMaster, thereâs no problem with me going to the True Spirit Realm. However, I havenât gone to the True Spirit Realm before. Iâm afraid that I might show some flaws.â
Wei Tiande nodded. Then he waved his hand and handed a jade slip to Zhao Hai before saying, âTake this. Itâs information about the True Spirit Realm. Youâll be appearing in the True Spirit Realmâs Demonic Faction. The Demonic Faction arenât strict regarding rogue cultivators. As long as you are careful, there wonât be problems. Alright, go back first and look at the jade slip.â Zhao Hai complied and then received the jade slip before leaving.
Upon leaving Wei Tiandeâs room, Zhao Hai couldnât help but relax. Fortunately, Wei Tiande didnât examine his cultivation method. Otherwise, Zhao Hai didnât know how to respond. Right after Zhao Hai received his reward and the beast skin scroll, he immediately returned to Coiling Dragon City. He simply hasnât looked at his rewards nor the beast skin scroll. If Wei Tiande really asked about his progress, Zhao Hai might come out blank.
After returning to his room, Zhao Hai looked at the content of the jade slip. There wasnât anything special inside. It was general information about the True Spirit Realm. And since he was going to the Demonic Factionâs territory, there were plenty of information regarding Demonic Cultivators.
After looking at the contents of the jade slip, Zhao Hai took out the rewards that Wei Tiande gave him. He wanted to see what was inside.
Upon opening the bag, Zhao Hai couldnât help but stare. This was because the bag contained quite a lot of valuable materials. Besides artifacts commonly used by ghost cultivators, there were also pills and other good things. Most importantly, there were two jade slips inside. Zhao Hai threw everything into the Space other than the two jade slips. Then he scanned the jade slips using his spiritual force.
Seeing the contents of the jade slip, Zhao Hai was startled. Inside the jade slips were two sets of cultivation methods. One was a technique for refining and controlling corpses, but the other was a special technique. It was a technique used for staves. It was called the Corpse Herding Staff Technique.
To be honest, Zhao Hai was somewhat disappointed with the two techniques. The corpse refining method was nothing special. It included nothing more than methods to use medicine to bind souls so that the refined corpse wouldnât kill its controller. At the same time, the medicine would also make the corpseâs body tougher. However, this method had a side effect. Corpses refined using this method would have the strength of a Soul Fusion stage cultivator. Although its body is strong, itâs very difficult to increase its strength. Zhao Hai knew the moment he saw the technique that this wasnât he top corpse refining technique of the Battle Corpse Sect.
As for the Corpse Herding Staff Technique, although it was a good set of staff techniques, its level was only around the same as the Tyrant Blade Sectâs intermediate techniques. It wasnât anything extraordinary. It was just enough for a Soul Fusion Stage cultivator to use.
After studying the staff technique, Zhao Hai took out the beast skin scroll that Wei Tiande gave him and slowly opened it up. As soon as he opened the scroll, Zhao Hai felt a strong aura rushing towards him. It was as if Zhao Hai wasnât looking at a scroll but instead an army that came out from a sea of corpses and blood. The killing intent that the scroll contained was astonishing.
However, Zhao Hai wasnât afraid of the killing intent. His face didnât even twitch. But Zhao Hai could feel Wei Tiandeâs strength through the scroll.
