Chapter 2209: Returning to the Long Clan

As Zhao Hai sat in the living room with Laura and the others beside him, the atmosphere became a bit heavy. Although they have seen the loss of life multiple times, they didn’t like to see it happen.

However, for cultivators, death was a constant in their struggle for strength. After all, the path of cultivation was paved with white bones.

Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, can we do something to prevent this? If the Long Clan acts, can they stop this?”

Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and shook his head, “Impossible. The reason the Long Clan could maintain its position is because they don’t interfere with the True Spirit Realm’s matters. If they meddled, their status would vanish. When the time comes, not only would they fail to stop the war, they might even be pulled into it.”

As Laura frowned at the response, Lizzy said, “Big Brother Hai, I think we should still tell the Long Clan so that they could prepare. If the Demon and Devil cultivators attack the Righteous Faction, then the Ghost Cultivators would benefit a lot. It would be bad if the Long Clan isn’t prepared.”

Zhao Hai nodded, “It’s possible that we might need to remind the Long Clan. I’ll deal with this. I’ll go visit Long Tian right now to see what the Long Clan thinks about this.”

Laura nodded, “Alright, return soon. If something is happening in the Long Clan, you can return in the afternoon.”

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “Forget it, you all go with me. If there’s a real fight, the Tyrant Blade Sect might not be safe. It’s safer with the Long Clan. Moreover, you are now teachers of the clan’s children. It won’t be good to leave the children for a long time. I’ll go and see Masters right now. We’ll return to the Long Clan together. I’ll deal with the matters in the Tyrant Blade Sect. You don’t have to worry about this.”

Laura smiled and said, “Alright, we’ll offer help wherever we can. But no matter what, nothing has to happen to the Long Clan.”

Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at Cai’er and said, “Cai’er, if something really happens, you can use the Space to help the Long Clan. Remember, you can only use the Bug Race and the Robots. There’s no need to use the other beasts.”

Cai’er nodded. Then Zhao Hai stood up and left the room. He walked towards the courtyard of the Yin Yang Elders. When he arrived, he immediately met with the two elders. The Yin Yang Elders were currently discussing how to deal with their current situation. The Righteous Faction going war against the Demonic and Devil Faction wasn’t a new occurrence. In the past ten thousand years, the three sides have been very peaceful. This was because neither had any confidence that they could eat up the other two. There was also no threat from the ghost cultivators. Because of this, the three sides kept their peace.

But judging from the current situation, this peace might be broken. This three-way war would include countless sects. Nobody was sure how many of these sects would be left by the end.

Once war begins, it would be beyond anyone’s control. The fires of war might cover the entire True Spirit Realm, which was something that nobody could manage. This fact caused the two elders to worry about the Tyrant Blade Sect’s outcome.

As the two elders were discussing, Zhao Hai knocked on the door. The two elders immediately asked him inside. After Zhao Hai gave his respects to the two elders, the Yin Elder looked at him and said, “Little Hai, did you think of something?”

There was a reason why the Yin Elder said this. Yesterday, they told Zhao Hai the current situation of the True Spirit Realm. By the end of their discussion, they weren’t able to come up with a good way to stop it. Therefore, they went back to their residences. The Yin Elder didn’t expect Zhao Hai to come over just the day after. He thought that Zhao Hai might have formed a plan.

Zhao Hai replied, “Master, I’m planning on heading back to the Long Clan and telling them about the situation here. It’s best for the Long Clan to not involve themselves in this matter. If they interfered, it’s likely that they would be pulled in. Once that happens, then once the Ghost Cultivators attack, the True Spirit Realm wouldn’t have the strength to stop them.”

The Yin Elder thought for a moment, then he nodded and said, “That is also good. Right, have Laura and the others go with you. They’re too weak. If we get attacked, we might not be able to protect them. We don’t want them to be in danger.”

Zhao Hai nodded, “Yes, Master. Rest assured.”

The Yin Elder nodded, then he asked, “What do you think about the current situation of the True Spirit Realm? Have you thought of any plans?”

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “I have nothing. Although our Tyrant Blade Sect is among the 81 Great Sects, we don’t carry enough strength to have a strong voice. I think we can only increase our strength so that we can be invincible in this war.”

The Yin Elder nodded, then he shook his head and sighed, “Everyone has the same idea as you. However, we couldn’t increase our strength that much in a short period of time. Cultivation is a process. One couldn’t cultivate today expecting that they would become a powerhouse tomorrow. Wanting to improve the sect’s strength in a very short time is not possible.”

Zhao Hai replied, “Although increasing one’s cultivation requires time, a formation doesn’t. We can arrange a large number of formations near and around the sect. At the same time, we can accumulate a large pile of materials. As long as we have these things, it would be difficult for any attackers to get through to the Tyrant Blade Sect.”

When the Yin Yang Elders heard this, they couldn’t help but blank out. Then their eyes lit up. The Yin Elder looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Can we really do that?”

Zhao Hai replied, “We should be. Currently we have my three-dimensional formations. As long as we make enough preparations, our Tyrant Blade Sect will become an impenetrable fortress. As long as the enemy can’t attack us, even if the heavens get overturned outside, we will remain intact.”

The Yin Yang Elders nodded and then they stood up. The Yang Elder then said, “Little Hai, you make your preparations while we go see the Sect Master. It’ll be best if we prepare early.” Zhao Hai nodded and gave a salute to the two elders. Then he also left.

When Zhao Hai returned to his residence, Laura and the others were already prepared. Seeing Zhao Hai return, they all looked at him. Zhao Hai didn’t say anything, but he gave a nod. Laura and the others understood immediately and gathered around Zhao Hai. With a flash of white light, the group vanished from their residence and returned to Coiling Dragon City.

As soon as they appeared in their courtyard, Zhao Hai turned to Laura and said, “You don’t have to worry about anything. Just continue teaching the children. By the way, look after Little Tie.” Laura and the others nodded. Then Zhao Hai turned around and left.

Before long, Zhao Hai arrived outside Long Tian’s courtyard. Just as he was about to knock, Long Tian’s door opened. Then Long Tian’s voice was heard, “Come in. There’s no need to be polite.” Zhao Hai nodded and entered.

When Zhao Hai was inside, Long Tian walked out of his room and then the two sat at the stone table outside. Long Tian opened his mouth first and said, “Why did you return so soon? The Tyrant Blade Sect won’t be peaceful soon. Aren’t you supposed to provide them with help?”

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “It won’t matter if I stay or not. The current matter isn’t something that can be solved by my presence. I came this time to tell you that there may be chaos in the True Spirit Realm soon.”

When he heard Zhao Hai, there wasn’t any surprise on Long Tian’s face. Instead, he sighed and said, “So you thought about it as well. The Devil and the Demon Factions seem to have reached an agreement to wage war against the Righteous Faction. If they really attack, the True Spirit Realm would turn chaotic. What are you thinking about? Do you want the Long Clan to act?”

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “I don’t. The Long Clan could not involve itself in the war. Once the Long Clan acts, it would be pulled into the war. If the Ghost Cultivators arrived at that time, the True Spirit Realm would lose its last defense.”

Long Tian sighed, “It’s rare for someone to understand this. Correct, our Long Clan cannot get involved in this matter. Otherwise, the Ghost Cultivators would easily step foot into the True Spirit Realm.”

Zhao Hai replied, “I’m relieved that you said that. Then there won’t be any danger in the Long Clan. I won’t stay here long since I plan to head back to the Tyrant Blade Sect. I also have an identity in the underground world. That identity is quite important. It won’t be good if I disappear for a long time. I’ll rarely return here in the future. However, Laura and the others will stay here. They are still too weak. They’re good enough to teach the children but not for battle.”

Long Tian nodded, “That’s also good. Let them stay here in Coiling Dragon City. I will guarantee their safety. Although Coiling Dragon City hasn’t had a fight for many years, our Long Clan didn’t stop reinforcing our surroundings. Even if all the sects in the True Spirit Realm attack us, their success wouldn’t be assured.” A proud look couldn’t help but appear in Long Tian’s eyes as he said this.

Zhao Hai nodded, “I believe Elder’s words. You can also rest assured that nothing will happen to the Tyrant Blade Sect. Moreover, we have the True Dao Sect with us. As long as we can withstand the Demon and Devil Sects, everything else would be simple.”

Long Tian smiled bitterly and said, “Withstanding both the Demon and Devil Sects wouldn’t be easy. Do you think the Righteous Faction is unified? If they didn’t have any assurance, do you think the Demon and Devil Sects would dare attack the Righteous Faction? If there are bad apples among the Righteous Sects, that would be bad news for you.”
