Chapter 2156: Agitation
Zhao Hai saw that the humanoids of the underground world were being excessively oppressed by the Ghost Cultivators. The underground humanoids were treated much worse than captive demon beasts.
This angered Zhao Hai. He wanted to make the Ghost Cultivators pay for their sins against the humanoids. In his opinion, there was no reason for the Ghost Cultivators to keep existing in this world.
After four hours, Zhao Hai woke up. Just as Zhao Hai opened his eyes, a small insect crawled to his side and then entered his body before disappearing.
Zhao Hai got up and walked towards Long Xiang. As soon as he saw Zhao Hai, Long Xiang immediately greeted him. Long Xiang looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Little Hai, how are you? Have you recovered?”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Elder can rest assured. I’ve rested.”
Long Xiang nodded, then he gestured for Zhao Hai to sit down. Then he said, “Little Hai, what do you think we should do next? From what I can see, we should immediately attack the other sects to cause chaos in the underground world.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Naturally, that’s what we must do. But now is not the time. The Ghost Shadow Sect and the Ghost Spirit Sect are at war. If we make a move, it will bring attention to us. We should lay low for the time being.”
Long Xiang knitted his brows and said, “Then what should we do right now, nothing?”
Zhao Hai replied, “Of course we have to do something. We’re going to light fires. But we shouldn’t go to the other sects. We will fan the flames of the war between the Ghost Spirit Sect and the Ghost Shadow Sect.”
Long Xiang stared, his expression turned serious as he said, “Explain.”
Zhao Hai smiled, “Now that the Ghost Shadow Sect and the Ghost Spirit Sect are fighting, as long as we are careful, they won’t notice us. What we have to do is to figure out how to increase their hatred towards each other.”
Long Xiang nodded, then his eyes narrowed as he said, “You go back first. I will have people pay more attention to those two sects. When necessary, we’ll light more fires for them.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Then I’ll excuse myself, Elder.”
Time passed and the battle between the Ghost Spirit Sect and the Ghost Shadow Sect became more and more intense. The two sects went into an all-out war.
In the past, the war between the two sects didn’t explode completely because the two sects have the same strength. If they battled each other to the death, they would only make themselves weaker for other sects to take advantage of. There was no honor among Ghost Cultivators. They would willingly eliminate their neighbors if it could increase their strength.
But now, the war is getting stronger and stronger. It was impossible for the Ghost Spirit Sect and the Ghost Shadow Sect to have no sects they were allied with. For one reason or another, these allied sects have joined the fighting. More and more Ghost Cultivator Sects joined the chaos.
These Ghost Cultivators didn’t know that someone was fanning the flames in the background. This made the conflict between the two sects bigger and bigger. By now, the fire between the two sects became too strong. It was impossible for ordinary people to put a stop to it.
Long Xiang and the others weren’t idling all this time. The fight between the two sects was completely because of them. Whenever they made a move, winds would arrive, and the fire would turn hotter.
After a few more days, the Ghost Cultivation Sects were already in chaos. Long Xiang began dispatching more people to attack in all directions, inciting more sects to fight.
In a month, the entire underground world became chaotic. The Ghost Cultivators divided themselves into factions. Each group fought another group they had a grudge against. The severity of the wars was something even Zhao Hai didn’t expect.
Long Xiang was in his room in a hidden cave along with Deng Wen and the other team leaders. He looked at the others and said, “Now that the underground world is in chaos, it’s time for us to show our power. What do you think?”
Opposite Long Xiang were the various team leaders along with Zhao Hai. The faces of the team leaders had a relaxed expression. Only Zhao Hai was frowning.
Long Xiang looked at everyone and noticed Zhao Hai’s expression. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Little Hai, do you want to say something?”
Zhao Hai replied, “Elder, I think we should leave.”
Hearing this, Long Xiang couldn’t help but stare. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and asked, “What did you say? You think we should leave? Why is that?”
Zhao Hai replied, “From what I can see, although the Ghost Cultivators are in chaos, the casualties between the sects have actually become smaller and smaller. They seem to be acting out a play. I reckon the Ghost Cultivators have noticed something. Their present state might be an act. What they want to do is to find us and eliminate us.”
Long Xiang frowned but didn’t speak. Then at this moment, a voice was heard, “Nonsense. All of us have seen the chaos in the underground world. How could this be an act? I think the Ghost Cultivators are now in complete chaos. We should use the opportunity to attack them.”
Long Xiang turned to the person speaking and his brows wrinkled tighter. The person speaking was the team leader from the Sword Hegemon Sect. The Sword Hegemon Sect and the Tyrant Blade Sect have a grudge. It was normal for this team leader to oppose Zhao Hai. If it were other events, Long Xiang would have ignored the Sword Hegemon Sect’s Elder. But at this time, the situation became awkward.
After all, everyone were allied with each other. These people weren’t subordinates of the Long Clan. If he ordered them around, then they might form a grudge against the Long Clan, which would be no good for the clan.
When the others heard the words of the Sword Hegemon Sect elder, they nodded. It was clear that they agreed with the Sword Hegemon Sect’s view.
Zhao Hai looked at the Sword Hegemon Sect Elder and said, “Our actions have been going smoothly lately, so I have my suspicions. Haven’t you noticed? Although the resistance we encountered isn’t great, their reinforcements came way too quickly. Moreover, from the actions of the surrounding Ghost Cultivator Sects, they are slowly creeping up on us. If we allow them to track our location, our troubles will be big.”
The Sword Hegemon Sect Elder sneered, “Kid, what do you know? How are you sure that the Ghost Cultivators are going after us? It’s all in your mind. Why should we believe you?”
Zhao Hai looked at the Sword Hegemon Sect Elder and scoffed, “Speaking to idiots will only lessen my intellect. I’ve said my thoughts, you can believe it or not. If you don’t, then I can’t do anything. But if you don’t leave, I will.”
As soon as the Sword Hegemon Sect Elder heard this, his complexion completely changed. He looked at Zhao Hai and said with a threatening voice, “Who did you say was an idiot?”
Zhao Hai coldly replied, “You know who. There’s no need for me to say.”
The Sword Hegemon Sect Elder didn’t continue arguing with Zhao Hai, instead he looked towards Long Xiang and said, “Captain, do you see this?”
Long Xiang looked at the Sword Hegemon Sect Elder. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “We’ll continue our attacks. Nobody is allowed to withdraw. Prepare for the next attack.”
Hearing Long Xiang, Zhao Hai’s expression changed. Meanwhile, the Sword Hegemon Sect Elder had a smug look on his face. Zhao Hai looked at the Sword Hegemon Sect Elder and then at Long Xiang, “Elder, I will not participate in the next attack. If the Elder wants me to participate, then you might as well kill me.”
Long Xiang’s complexion changed. His eyes had a cold gaze as he looked at Zhao Hai, “I’m telling you that nobody is allowed to withdraw. Don’t you understand my words?”
Zhao Hai looked at Long Xiang’s eyes and said, “I have also said that I will not join in this attack.”
Long Xiang’s expression darkened, then he waved his hand and grasped towards Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai’s pupils shrank. He found that Long Xiang’s simple action sealed all of his avenues of retreat. The only way to escape was to use the Space.
In addition to being restricted by Long Xiang’s grasp, Zhao Hai also felt a strong energy behind it. Zhao Hai discovered that he has no strength to resist the grasp. But Zhao Hai also found that Long Xiang didn’t intend to take his life, only capture him.
At this time, a blade light flashed, and an executioner’s blade defended Zhao Hai, throwing Long Xiang’s attack back. The pressure on Zhao Hai immediately disappeared. Zhao Hai turned his head and saw Deng Wen standing in front of him.
Long Xiang looked at Deng Wen in surprise, then he said, “Deng Wen, what are you doing? Are you defying my orders?”
Deng Wen coldly snorted and said, “Nobody is allowed to touch the people of the Tyrant Blade Sect, that includes your Long Clan. Do you still think that you can dominate the True Spirit Realm? Zhao Hai is a disciple of the Tyrant Blade Sect. When it comes to the disciples of our sect, we kill who we need to kill. Long Xiang, don’t blame me for not giving you face. Before I came, the Sect Master gave me an order to protect Zhao Hai no matter what. If Zhao Hai is harmed in any way, the Tyrant Blade Sect will wage war on them at all costs.”
Upon hearing Deng Wen, Long Xiang couldn’t help but stare. He looked at Zhao Hai and saw that Zhao Hai was calmly looking at him. However, there was a cold feeling in Zhao Hai’s eyes. Long Xiang was startled. He couldn’t help but sigh inside. He knew that he had offended Zhao Hai this time. Zhao Hai might not forgive him for this.
At this moment, Long Xiang found Zhao Hai’s eyeballs moving slightly. Long Xiang stared before he understood. He immediately looked in the direction that Zhao Hai’s eyeballs moved. His movement was made in secret; Long Xiang’s eyes didn’t even move. Instead, he scanned the direction using his spiritual force.
