Chapter 2234: Ambush

Chapter 2234 – Ambush

What was the biggest obstacle to gangs? There was only one answer, the sects. Countless small gangs couldn’t compare to a sect. These small gangs depend on sects to survive. At the same time, they also need to provide a steady stream of fresh blood for the sects.

As for gang members who were able to join a sect, if they want to thrive inside, they will need the gang’s support. The gang can provide them with cultivation materials. Only in this way can these members become inner disciples, true disciples, or even core disciples of the sect.

Once these members gain status within the sect, they can help their gang expand. Huge gangs in Demonheart City were able to develop using this method.

Wang Da also wants the Blood Knife Gang to take this path. However, he hasn’t found the right person. If he sent a person to the sect and they can’t obtain a high status, then all of his investments would be wasted. Because of this, Wang Da placed great importance on the candidate to be sent to the sect. Seeing Zhao Hai’s performance these days, Wang Da couldn’t help but think that he was the right candidate.

Zhao Hai was unaware of Wang Da’s thoughts. After returning to the town, he found Ma Long, Liu Cai, and the other squad leaders. He told them the plan he discussed with Wang Da. He didn’t say why they were doing this, but the squad leaders didn’t ask. After all, this was the gang leader’s order. It wasn’t their turn to make any remarks.

After sending the squad leaders out, Zhao Hai looked at Ma Long and Liu Cai and said, “The sect just sent me a message. I haven’t opened it yet. Since you’re here, we can read it together.” Then Zhao Hai took out a jade slip and searched it using his spiritual force.

The jade slip was sent through the transmission formation when Zhao Hai met Wang Da. The message was sent by Wei Tiande. Zhao Hai knew that the jade slip would contain instructions for what they would do in the future.

The jade slip would indicate whether they would return to the underground world or to stay. After going through the jade slip, Zhao Hai sighed. Then he passed the jade slip to Ma Long and Liu Cai.

Seeing Zhao Hai’s expression, Ma Long and Liu Cai already knew what’s inside the jade slip. Zhao Hai wouldn’t have such an expression if they could return to the underground world.

Sure enough, when they read through the jade slip, Ma Long and Liu Cai couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Just as they thought, they were instructed to stay in the True Spirit Realm. And it would be best if they could infiltrate the Forbidden Path Sect.

The three didn’t know that the decision whether they could head back or not had been discussed by the Battle Corpse Sect several times. Wei Tiande actually wanted them to return. But in the end, the Battle Corpse Sect decided to have Zhao Hai and the others lurk in the Forbidden Path Sect’s territory. This way, once they attack, they would have people helping them inside.

Looking at the jade slip, Zhao Hai sighed, then he looked at Ma Long and Liu Cai and said, “Looks like we have to regard ourselves as people from the True Spirit Realm to prepare for deeper infiltration. From now on, we should forget that we’re members of the Battle Corpse Sect.”

Ma Long and Liu Cai just smiled bitterly as they nodded. They don’t know what to say. To be honest, they were already prepared for such an outcome.

Although the two of them weren’t high level members of the Battle Corpse Sect, they knew well that infiltrating the True Spirit Realm was a very dangerous job for the underground world. Plenty of cultivators tried and failed, never to return.

They could be considered as successful infiltrators. If the Battle Corpse Sect withdraws them from the mission, then all of their efforts would be wasted. Nevertheless, now that their thoughts became true, they still found it hard to calm down.

Zhao Hai looked at the two and suddenly smiled, “Actually, our situation isn’t that bad. As people from the underground world, haven’t we always wanted to return to the True Spirit Realm? People fight to the death to return to the True Spirit Realm, and now we’re here. Not only that, we have an identity to continue living here.”

Hearing Zhao Hai, Ma Long and Liu Cai couldn’t help but stare. Then their eyes shone as they chuckled, “Right, right. This is also good.”

Zhao Hai sighed and said, “Don’t think about it so much. This time, the sect didn’t ask us to collect information. We just have to mix well with the Blood Knife Gang and find a way to enter the Forbidden Path Sect. Alright, you can go back and rest. We still have a play to do.” The two nodded and then left.

When the two left, Zhao Hai sighed. Then he set a few formations in his room before entering the Space to see Laura and the others.

Seeing Zhao Hai’s depressed face, Laura and the others laughed. Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, “I think I acted too well. I just want to sneak into the underground world to get information and cause problems. But now, I’ve been sent back to the True Spirit Realm and couldn’t go back.”

Laura chuckled and said, “Brother Hai, there’s no need to trouble yourself too much. You can just find an opportunity to enter the underground world and cause trouble. You don’t have to be so busy.”

Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, “I should have done that. Forget it, let’s talk about it in the future. Let’s take a rest. By the way, what do you think that fat man is carrying that he’s being too careful?”

Laura knit her brows and said, “I don’t know, but I’m sure that it must be in the fat man’s spatial ring. He’s also very careful in not taking it out. What’s certain is that the tuning on him must be very valuable.”

Zhao Hai nodded, “No matter what, we’ll know in a few days. Right, how are the Tyrant Blade Sect’s preparations?”

Laura smiled and said, “Rest assured, the sect is doing well. You don’t have to worry.”

Zhao Hai nodded. Then he sighed and said, “I haven’t seen Little Tie lately. How is he doing?”

Laura smiled and said, “He’s doing well. His progress is very fast. He’s also opened up to the kids of the Long Clan. Now he’s acting more of a child.”

Zhao Hai gave a gratified nod and said, “That’s good. That’s good. With you in the Long Clan, I’m also relieved. For the Long Clan to exist for so many years, they are not simple. They can guarantee your safety. But remember, if you really need it, don’t hesitate to enter the Space. Even if it gets exposed, I don’t want anything to happen to you.”

Laura and the others felt touched by Zhao Hai’s words. They knew very well how important the Space was for Zhao Hai. And now, Zhao Hai would rather expose the Space than have them experience harm. How could they not be happy?

After resting in the Space for one day, Zhao Hai left before the convoy departed. Although nothing seemed different compared to the past few days, Zhao Hai and the others were more alert.

The convoy travelled all morning. When it was almost noon, Zhao Hai looked around and said, “There is a clearing three kilometers ahead. We can rest there for the day.”

Upon hearing this, everyone complied, and the convoy sped up unconsciously. At this time, two spells suddenly came from in front. The two spells were large, but they weren’t very strong.

Zhao Hai first responded, his complexion changed as he shouted, “Enemy attack!” Then he moved and took two claw weapons out and guarded the side of the main carriage. The others also took their weapons out and released attacks to strike the incoming spells.

As for the convoy leader, the moment Zhao Hai shouted, he, along with his men, looked around nervously.

“Hahaha. I didn’t expect our Moonlight Bandit Group to meet such fat sheep just after arriving. Listen, leave everything and I might spare your lives.” As he spoke, a group of people appeared and surrounded the convoy.

The bandits wore grey clothing and had their faces covered. They also had varying weapons in their hands. The person at the lead was a tall cultivator whose face was also covered. Hearing his voice, Zhao Hai guessed that it must be Liu Zhen.

Seeing Liu Zhen’s act, Zhao Hai had to stop himself from smiling. Instead, he changed his expression as he said, “What Moonlight Bandit group? I have never heard of you. To dare attack the convoy guarded by the Blood Knife Gang. I can see that you are new here. I can give you a chance to retreat now.”

Liu Zhen laughed and said, “Kid, you’re too arrogant. If I don’t let you taste our might, you might regret it. Now, die!” With a wave of his hand, the other cultivators of the Blood Knife Gang attacked. Zhao Hai also commanded his men to meet them. The two sides began to fight. The clashing of weapons was heard everywhere.

The fat convoy leader had a face full of worry as he looked at the battle. He discovered that the attackers were as strong as the Blood Knife Gang. He’s afraid that Zhao Hai’s men wouldn’t be able to block the bandits. Despite this, he didn’t command his personal guards to help. To the fat man, Zhao Hai and the others’ lives don’t matter. It was fine as long as he survived.
