Chapter 2165: Sect Master Summons
Qiu Tie complied and immediately led the other children around. After following Zhao Hai for many days, the children knew that Qiu Tie was Zhao Hai’s disciple. Moreover, Qiu Tie has proven his strength. Because of this, he became the leader of the children.
Not long after Zhao Hai returned to the courtyard, the Yin Yang Elders arrived. When the elders noticed the children, they couldn’t help but stare. Then they immediately recognized where the children came from. They ignored the children and went straight to Zhao Hai. The Yin Elder opened his mouth and said, “Little Hai, do you know about the sect’s situation?”
Zhao Hai nodded, “The Long Clan informed me. But I don’t know much. Master, please come in.”
The Yin Yang Elders nodded and then entered the living room along with Zhao Hai. After everyone sat down, the Yang Elder said, “The sect isn’t doing well. More than ten branch halls have been attacked. Although we made preparations, it’s becoming clear that it’s not enough. The Ghost Cultivators are ruthless.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “What is the sect doing right now?”
The Yin Elder replied, “The Sect is trying to find the Ghost Cultivators. Moreover, we erected confinement formations to prevent the opponent using portable transmission formations. The sect hopes to find the Ghost Cultivators and eliminate them in one go.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “That’s a good plan. Our people can concentrate on the branch halls. If the other party comes, we’ll fly over immediately. Our support can also be sent through fixed transmission formations.”
The Yin Elder agreed, “That’s true. But the order has only been made two days ago. Before this, the branch halls were being destroyed.”
Zhao Hai replied, “Did any living witnesses survive? Even if the enemy destroyed our branch hall, it’s impossible for our people to not resist. If they see that their situation is hopeless, they will definitely go back through transmission formations. How can the branch halls be eliminated completely?”
The Yin Elder replied, “We find this strange as well. It’s really strange. We don’t know how the enemy killed all of our people.”
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and then said, “From what it looks like, it’s possible that the Ghost Cultivators have a formation that can imprison a large region, disabling portable transmission formations and fixed transmission formations. The people in the branch halls can’t run even if they want to.”
Hearing Zhao Hai, the expression on the Yin Yang Elders’ faces changed. The Yang Elder said, “Is that possible?”
Zhao Hai nodded, “It’s possible. There are two benefits to doing this. First is that they can deal with the entire branch. Second, because of the failure of the transmission formations, we won’t be able to send people to support. This will give enough time for the Ghost Cultivators to clean up. This method is similar to one we used in the underground world. It seems like the Ghost Cultivators have learned from us.”
The Yin Elder frowned, “If this is the case, then what do we do? If we can’t find a method to break it, then we would be eaten by the Ghost Cultivators bit by bit.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Master, you don’t have to worry. We can develop a formation that can cancel out the effects of the enemy’s formation. We can install it to the branch halls to ensure that their fixed transmission formations can operate.”
Hearing this, the Yin Yang Elders nodded. Then the Yang Elder said, “We’ll tell the Sect Master about this place. We’ll also have Old Zhen start researching.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “Let’s listen to Elder Zhen’s opinion first. If they can’t do it, we’ll find another solution.”
The Yin Elder seemed restless, he stood up and said, “I’ll go and see the Sect Master now. I’ll also ask for Old Zhen’s opinion.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “Alright, Master. I’ll be waiting here.” The Yin Elder waved his hand and said, “Have Old Yang tell the rest to you.” Then he vanished after a flash of white light.
This time, the Yang Elder said, “There’s no need to worry about the headquarters. The Ghost Cultivators wouldn’t dare make a move here. Since the last time we were attacked, the headquarters have increased its vigilance.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “That’s good. Master, when did the attacks begin? And were the other sects being attacked?”
The Yang Elder nodded, “The other sects have been attacked as well. Even the True Dao Sect have been targeted. The attacks started two months after you returned from the underground world. In the beginning, there were only small-scale battles. We thought it was just a retaliation by the Ghost Cultivators, so we didn’t take it to heart. Now, it seems like this isn’t the case.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “It seems in the previous attacks, the Ghost Cultivators were probing. Now that their scouting is over, they launched a full-scale attack. Master, I think we should make more preparations. What we’re doing right now is just preparing against a retaliation attack. What if the Ghost Cultivators weren’t just planning that? What if they go all in against us? What if enemy sects work with them? If this is the case, our preparations aren’t enough.”
The Yang Elder frowned. He hesitated for a moment before he nodded and said, “What you said is possible. I’m going to see the Sect Master as well. The Sect Master might call you over.” Zhao Hai nodded. Then the Yang Elder disappeared after a white light.
Seeing Yang Elder leave, Laura opened her mouth and said, “Brother Hai, do you really think that it’s possible for other sects to collude with the Ghost Cultivators?”
Zhao Hai shook his head, “I’m not sure. But preparing early isn’t bad. If the Ghost Cultivators really colluded with sects of the True Spirit Realm, then we would be in trouble. After all, the Great Sects have spies on other sects. If this is the case, then they are aware of the Tyrant Blade Sect’s situation. Then the Ghost Cultivators would know as well.”
Laura nodded, “If the Great Sects really colluded with the Ghost Cultivators, then the Ghost Cultivators will have greater understanding of the Tyrant Blade Sect. Brother Hai, which sect do you think would work with the Ghost Cultivators?”
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “I’m not certain. Great Sects might not even collude with the Ghost Cultivators. After all, the rulers of the True Spirit Realm are the Great Sects. If they collude with Ghost Cultivators, then they would be considered Ghost Cultivators as well. This move wouldn’t be beneficial to them. There might be people within the Great Sects that would work with Ghost Cultivators, but the possibility isn’t large.”
“On the other hand, it’s possible for medium-sized sects to work with the Ghost Cultivators. If they want to get more power and resources, then they would have to expand. However, the Great Sects are in their way. They could collude with Ghost Cultivators to remove some Great Sects in the True Spirit Realm.”
Laura nodded, “Then why did you tell the two Masters that it was a Great Sect?”
Zhao Hai forced a smile and said, “The two Masters have lived in the True Spirit Realm all their lives. They looked down on medium-sized sects. In their minds, these sects couldn’t threaten the Tyrant Blade Sect. If I say that a medium-sized sect is plotting against the sect, the two Masters might ignore my worries.”
Laura nodded, “That’s possible. But is that fine? Why don’t we think of another way? The Ghost Cultivators aren’t easy to deal with.”
Zhao Hai replied, “We can make use of our Undead Ghost Cultivators. But I can’t take them out right now. So, I told the Elders to study how we can protect the transmission formations. When the time comes, we can use the transmission formations to deal with the Ghost Cultivators.”
At this time, there was a flash of white light. Then a cultivator appeared in Zhao Hai’s courtyard and announced, “Junior Brother Zhao Hai, are you present? The Sect Master calls you over for a discussion.”
Zhao Hai looked at Laura and nodded slightly. Then he loudly said, “Yes, please wait a moment. I’ll come right away.” After saying that, Zhao Hai stood up and told Laura, “Take care of the little fellows. Activate the courtyard’s defensive formation. Although the headquarters is vigilant, I’m still a little worried.”
Laura nodded, “Don’t worry. You can leave the courtyard to us.”
Zhao Hai nodded and then walked out of the courtyard. After giving a salute to the cultivator, the two used their portable transmission formations and disappeared after a white light.
