Chapter 2164: Ghost Cultivator Attack
The branch hall was the first point of conflict within the Tyrant Blade Sect’s domain. It was also the tenth branch that the Ghost Cultivators attacked. This order aroused Zhao Hai’s suspicions, he felt that something was wrong.
The Tyrant Blade Sect was the strongest sect in the True Spirit Realm. If it was ranked, it would be in the 50th rank. It wasn’t extraordinary among the Great Sects. However, the Tyrant Blade Sect was notoriously rigid. The sect was known for protecting its shortcomings and being hard to crack. Nobody would provoke the sect easily.
However, Zhao Hai discovered that in recent years, the attacks on the Tyrant Blade Sect have been slowly increasing. It reached a point where it wasn’t realistic.
Ghost Cultivators attacking the Tyrant Blade Sect served neither the goal of weakening the True Spirit Realm nor the swallowing of the Tyrant Blade Sect. It was strange for the Ghost Cultivators to keep attacking the sect.
Laura and the others were sitting beside Zhao Hai. They were also looking at the screen. Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, what’s happening? Why do I feel like the Ghost Cultivators are targeting the sect?”
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “There’s a mistake in your thinking. It isn’t only the Tyrant Blade Sect. The True Dao Sect and other sects who have a good relationship with the Tyrant Blade Sect have also been attacked.”
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Laura frowned, “Brother Hai, you mean people are colluding with the Ghost Cultivators?”
Zhao Hai sneered, “Is that new? With how long the Ghost Cultivators fought with the True Spirit Realm, why couldn’t a few sects collude with them?”
Laura’s complexion changed. Laura and the others held deep respect towards the Yin Yang Elders. In their opinion, the Yin Yang Elders were akin to their family elders. If you love the house, then you must also love everything that comes with it. Laura and the others also regard the Tyrant Blade Sect as their home. Now that their home has been attacked, and knowing that their neighbors were colluding with the enemy, how could Laura and the others just bear it?
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, what should we do?”
Zhao Hai looked at the screen and then slowly closed his eyes, “We’ll wait. Don’t worry, the Tyrant Blade Sect isn’t easy to break. When the time comes, the sect will make their move. They definitely wouldn’t let the Ghost Cultivators eat well. At that time, the Long Clan would also react. The Long Clan would certainly be under the attack of the Ghost Cultivators. That would be the time we make our move.”
Laura looked at the screen with a bitter expression as she said, “Then we’ll endure for some time. Brother Hai, when do you think the Long Clan will move?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “They will respond soon. Don’t forget, the Long Clan loathes Ghost Cultivators the most. Look, someone already came.”
As he said that, there was a knock on the door. Meg immediately went over and opened the door. When the door was opened, Meg saw Long Tian standing outside the door. There was also Long Xiang following behind.
The last time they met, Long Tian invited Zhao Hai to drink with him. As a result, they went to an inn to drink. In the inn, Zhao Hai found that Long Xiang was waiting for him. Long Xiang officially apologized to Zhao Hai at that time. Naturally, there really wasn’t any enmity between Zhao Hai and Long Xiang.
Long Xiang’s role in the Long Clan was similar to Lu Lin’s role as an elder of the Battle Hall. Naturally, Long Xiang wasn’t a hall master, but his function was similar.
Seeing the two visitors, Zhao Hai showed a stunned expression. Then he looked at Long Xiang and asked, “Elder Tian, Elder Xiang, you’re here. Please come in.”
Long Tian looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Little Hai, didn’t you get the information?”
Zhao Hai sported a confused look as he asked, “Elder, what information?”
Long Tian replied, “Several sects have been attacked by the Ghost Cultivators. It seems like the Ghost Cultivators retaliated earlier than we thought.”
Zhao Hai welcomed his visitors into the living room first. After sitting down, Zhao Hai said, “Do you know the sects that are being attacked by the Ghost Cultivators?”
Long Tian stared, then he asked, “What does it have to do with the attacks?”
Zhao Hai replied, “It has a lot to do with it. The Ghost Cultivators’ attacks are the most violent at the start. At that time, their revenge was ruthless. They would attack the sects that they hated the most. It’s also possible that the Ghost Cultivators attacked the sects that people in the True Spirit Realm hate. It’s possible that sects in the True Spirit Realm colluded with the Ghost Cultivators.”
Long Tian’s pupils shrank, “You mean, the sects that are hostile towards those sects are being attacked by the Ghost Cultivators?”
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “I’m not entirely sure. But I want to know the sects that are being attacked the most by the Ghost Cultivators. This way, we might see information about the sects that didn’t have a lot of losses. If there’s a clear pattern, then we might suspect these sects of colluding with Ghost Cultivators. Naturally, all of this is just speculation. It’s difficult to say whether those sects really colluded with the Ghost Cultivators.”
Long Tian nodded, he looked at Long Xiang and said, “Go and fetch the information that Little Hai wants. We must find out if some sects are colluding with the Ghost Cultivators. We need to prepare for this eventuality.”
Long Xiang nodded, “Yes, Second Uncle can rest assured. I’ll take care of this matter.”
Long Tian nodded, then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Little Hai, I can tell you that among the sects that have been attacked, one of them is the Tyrant Blade Sect.”
Zhao Hai’s pupils shrank, but he didn’t show excessive emotion. He looked at Long Tian and asked, “How is the Tyrant Blade Sect doing?”
Long Tian replied, “The losses aren’t small. Several branches have been erased.”
Zhao Hai’s eyes turned cold. Then he said, “Elder, I want to return to the Tyrant Blade Sect to see the situation. I want to see the tricks used by the Ghost Cultivators.”
Long Tian looked at Zhao Hai and said, “You don’t need to worry. You should be aware of the Tyrant Blade Sect’s situation. Although the sect suffered some losses, it’s not serious.”
Zhao Hai replied, “I know. The defense of the Tyrant Blade Sect is very good. It would be difficult for the Ghost Cultivators to hurt the sect. However, I’m still worried.”
Long Tian nodded, “Then you can go back. Right, the clan is drawing up a plan to support the Tyrant Blade Sect. When the time comes, the Long Clan will send someone to the Tyrant Blade Sect. Rest assured, the Tyrant Blade Sect will be fine.”
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he said, “Elder, you must be careful. If the Long Clan supports the Tyrant Blade Sect, then the other sects might request for support as well. If this continues, nobody will be left to defend Coiling Dragon City. The enemy might make use of this chance.”
Long Tian stared, then he waved his hand and said, “You don’t need to worry about Coiling Dragon City. The city has been continually built up by the Long Clan for many years. It is impregnable. Ghost Cultivators will never be able to breach it.”
Hearing this, Zhao Hai understood what Long Tian meant. Coiling Dragon city has been peaceful for a long time. Although the Long Clan was still a bit vigilant, this doesn’t mean that they didn’t slack off. Maybe, in Long Tian’s eyes, Coiling Dragon City would never be breached.
However, Zhao Hai knows that there’s no such thing as an impregnable city. There’s always a weak point in any defense. Coiling Dragon City isn’t any different.
But Zhao Hai also knew that saying these things wasn’t useful. The Long Clan would only dislike him if he pushed on. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn’t say anything. He just nodded and said, “That’s great. Elder, I’ll head back to the Tyrant Blade Sect with Laura and the others. Do you have other orders for me?”
Long Tian thought for a moment before saying, “I’m aware of the Tyrant Blade Sect’s situation. Nothing dangerous should happen there. In this case, I hope you can bring some of the clan’s children with you. Those kids want to learn from you. Others can’t teach them. I have no choice but to leave them in your hands.”
Zhao Hai was stunned when he heard this. Then he smiled faintly and said, “Elder can leave this to me.”
Long Tian nodded, “Good, I’ll tell the children’s guardians. This will be a small trial for them. Treat them well.” Zhao Hai smiled and nodded.
Long Tian and Long Xiang stood up. Before leaving, Long Tian looked at Zhao Hai once more and said, “Little Hai, those children are the hope of the Long Clan. Nothing must happen to them.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “Elder can rest assured. Nothing will happen to the children.”
Long Tian nodded and then left with Long Xiang. When Long Tian left, Zhao Hai turned to Laura and the others and said, “We’ll return to the Tyrant Blade Sect as soon as possible.” Laura and the others complied, then they immediately made preparations.
Actually, there’s nothing much to prepare. Everything they need is already in the Space.
Before long, a big group of children arrived in Zhao Hai’s courtyard. The parents of the children were also present. Each parent had worried looks on their faces. On the other hand, their children couldn’t hide their excitement.
Looking at the faces of the children, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but force a smile. The children didn’t look like they were going to a battlefield. Conversely, their excited faces suggested that they were going on a field trip. This was the fearless spirit of children; they simply don’t know the danger of the battlefield.
At this time, a parent cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, “Mister, we’ll hand over our child to you. I hope you can take care of them.”
Zhao Hai quickly returned the salute and said, “You’re too polite. Don’t worry, I’ll treat them well.”
One by one, the parents said a few kind words towards Zhao Hai. Because of this, it took Zhao Hai an hour before he could take the children to the transmission formation. Then in a flash of white light, they disappeared from Coiling Dragon City.
