Chapter 1871: Unthreatened
It was easy for Zhao Hai to use the large artifacts of the Great Realm of Cultivation. Once the Undead understood how they operated, he would be able to use them freely.
Zhao Hai has no issues about the large artifacts. What he was focused on were the 500 people in front of him. These were the elders of the Heaven Sect. All of their flying swords could be turned into large artifacts. They were sent over by Jian Wuya for Zhao Hai to command.
Zhao Hai looked at the elders of the Heaven Sect. The elders were also looking at him with an arrogant expression. He couldnt help but smile faintly as he cupped his fist towards them and said, Everyone, I think you already know who I am. To deal with the Heavenly Demons, I asked the sect masters to gather all of the large artifacts for me to use. Since your flying swords can be turned into large artifacts, sect master Jian sent you to me. I hope that you can cooperate with me so that we can deal with the Heavenly Demons more effectively.
The elders of the Heaven Sect nodded at Zhao Hai. Naturally, they also received the order. After some time, Zhao Hai continued, I need you to listen to my commands and cooperate. Those who dont want to cooperate can leave.
The elders of the Heaven Sect didnt speak. However, a hint of anger flashed through their eyes. Zhao Hai didnt care about their thoughts, he said, Since n.o.body left, you are now under the command of the Freedom Alliances first army. In the first army, we have a rule: My word is law. n.o.body is allowed to disobey. If I give an order and you dont do it, then you will be punished according to military law.
The elders of the Heaven Sect stared, then they could no longer hide their anger. One elder looked at Zhao Hai and said, Then what if you order us to die?
Zhao Hai looked at the elder and said, Then you must die. I will not make you die in vain. I will only order you to die if your death is required.
Hahaha. Zhao Hai, you dare talk to us like this? Arent you just trying to kill us?
When you are ordered to die will be determined by the state of the battlefield. If the battle requires you to die, you must die. Naturally, I hope that all of you will live. But if a sacrifice is needed, someone will be sacrificed.
Zhao Hai looked at the speechless elders and said, Your Heaven Sect has schemed against me. Naturally, I would hold grudges. But if I want to take revenge, I would do it after the Heavenly Demons are driven away. Were now on the same boat. We have a common enemy. And I wouldnt risk the future of the Great Realm of Cultivation for a grudge. Understood?
I dont believe you. How can we trust you? What if you were lying and you doomed all of us to die? One of the elders said.
Zhao Hai looked at the Heaven Sect elder and said, If you dont trust me, you can leave. Im not planning to detain you. To be honest, although it would be good if youre here, I dont mind if you werent. Dont take yourself too seriously. Although youre elders of the Heaven Sect, I wont make a move on you. This Zhao Hai is not from the Heaven Sect. I disdain using lowly schemes.
Hearing Zhao Hai, the complexion of the Heaven Sect elders changed. Then one of them sneered and said, If I want to, I can still stay even if you drive me away. What can you do to me?
Zhao Hai looked at the Heaven Sect Elder and then coldly snorted, Youre going to cause trouble here? Hahaha. Alright, since you want to make a fool of yourself, dont blame me for being impolite. After he said that, he disappeared.
While Zhao Hai was talking, the Heaven Sect Elder was fully on-guard. Seeing Zhao Hai vanish, the elder immediately used his dao avatar and then paid attention to his surroundings.
Then at this moment, Zhao Hai appeared above the elder. Zhao Hai didnt use his dao avatar but he had a huge blade in his hand. Then Zhao Hai slashed towards the elders dao avatar.
Pu! The elders dao avatar was like a soap bubble being pierced like a needle. It shattered immediately. Zhao Hais slash followed through and went towards the elders head. But as the sword was about to hit the elder, it suddenly stopped, causing the elders hair to flutter with the wind.
The elder stared at Zhao Hai. He didnt expect this outcome. Zhao Hai looked at the elder and then coldly snorted as he said, With your strength, I can kill you whenever I want. I dont need to scheme. You can go, the army has no need for people like you. Go back and tell Jian Wuya that I have no need for you people in my army.
After he said that, Zhao Hai took away his large blade. The elder glared at Zhao Hai, his eyes full of hatred.
Zhao Hai didnt care about the elders gaze as he said, Go away while Im still in a proper mood. The longer I see you, the more I want to kill.
The elder snorted and then turned around and left. He knew that he could no longer remain. Zhao Hai didnt even use his dao avatar but he was able to deal with him. If he continued to provoke Zhao Hai, he would just be courting death.
At this moment, another Heaven Sect Elder said, Zhao Hai, dont go too far. If he leaves, then all of us will leave. Were not here to play around with you.
Zhao Hai turned his head towards the elder and discovered that he was quite young. Although he had the same outfit as the other elders, his sword wasnt ordinary. Zhao Hai understood his ident.i.ty once he saw this person. This guy must be a descendant of a great family in the Heaven Sect.
Zhao Hai also understood what this person was doing. He wanted to protect the person who was driven away to improve his status in the hearts of the other elders. At the same time, he wanted to win over the person that Zhao Hai drove away.
However, Zhao Hai just smiled and said, Is this opinion shared by all of you? If he leaves, will all of you leave?
Although the person didnt understand the meaning behind Zhao Hais smile, he still said, Correct. If he leaves, well leave.
Zhao Hai sneered and said, Alright, then leave. I will go to Jian Wuya myself and see what kind of explanation he will give me.
The Heaven Sect Elder didnt expect that Zhao Hai would really drive them out. He didnt budge at all. But upon hearing Zhao Hais last sentence, the Heaven Sect elder laughed, Hahaha. You want the sect master to give you an explanation? Are you qualified?
Zhao Hai sneered, I am. Sect Master Jian told me that you would abide by my rules when you arrive. If you dont intend to follow, then you can leave. I really want to see what explanation Sect Master Jian would give me. Lets see how the nine super sects intend to deal with the Heavenly Demons once the Freedom Alliance leaves.
After he said that, Zhao Hai waved his hand, stopping the training of the large artifacts. Then he gave a command, Everyone, get on our large artifact and prepare to leave!
Although the troops of the first army didnt know what was going on, they didnt hesitate and entered the large artifacts belonging to the Freedom Alliance.
Zhao Hai looked at the Heaven Sect elders and said, You want to know if Im qualified? Tell Jian Wuya that I will give him two hours to give me a satisfactory explanation. If he doesnt, then the first army of the Freedom Alliance will immediately leave. After he said that, Zhao Hai returned to the h.e.l.l Kings s.h.i.+p.
At this moment, the elders of the Heaven Sect finally realized that they werent facing the sect masters of the smaller sects. They were facing Zhao Hai. If Zhao Hai really withdrew from the war because of them, then Jian Wuya wouldnt let them off. The Heaven Sect simply didnt have the strength to threaten Zhao Hai.
The elders of the Heaven Sect looked at each other in dismay. They dont know what to do. The elder who defended the others had an ashen expression. He looked at the others and said, Alright, lets go back. I dont believe the sect master will do anything to us. Then he led the other elders back to the Heaven Sects camp.
Jian Wuya has no idea what just happened. He was currently handling the matters of the Heaven Sect. The losses of the Heaven Sect were very heavy. If he didnt take care of it, their fighting strength would be greatly affected.
While Jian Wuya was going about his tasks inside his room, a voice was suddenly heard from outside, Sect Master, Elder Zheng asks for an interview.
Hearing this, Jian Wuya couldnt help but frown. Although the report didnt say which Elder Zheng it was, he could already guess. This Elder Zheng was Zheng Zimin of the Heaven Sects Zheng Clan. It hasnt been long since he became an immortal expert. Although he was still an elder with no power, he has the potential to be a high-ranking member of the sect.
The Zheng Clan sent Zheng Zimin to gain military merit in the war. So when he goes back, they could prepare for his promotion.
The Heaven Sects situation was quite similar to the Black Tiger Gang. The sect has various families that were part of its foundation. Even if Jian Wuya was the sect master, he couldnt do anything to them. If the Zheng Family insists that Zheng Zimin has the potential to hold power, then Jian Wuya has no choice but to agree.
Everything was going well, so Jian Wuya decided that sending Zheng Zimin to Zhao Hais side would allow him to gain more military merits. This was because Zhao Hai would be placed at the frontlines along with the large artifacts. Although it has its dangers, it was also a position that could give rich merits. Moreover, Jian Wuya believed that Zhao Hai wouldnt mistreat the elders of the Heaven Sect. Theres no advantage to Zhao Hai if the elders werent treated well.
Hearing that Zheng Zimin was back, Jian Wuya couldnt help but have an ominous premonition. Jian Wuya was well aware that Zhao Hais army had the most strict discipline among the ten armies of the Great Realm of Cultivation. This Zheng Zimin was a spoiled young master of his clan. Its highly probable that he would offend Zhao Hai. Thinking of this, Jian Wuya couldnt help but have a headache. At the same time, he said, Have Zheng Zimin come in.
The person outside complied and then pushed the door open. Then the elder that was threatened by Zhao Hai entered. His face was red with anger as he cupped his fist towards Jian Wuya and said, I have seen the sect master. Sect master, Zhao Hai is going too far. I ask the sect master to uphold justice for us.
Hearing Zheng Zimin, Jian Wuya secretly sighed and then said, Zimin, whats wrong? Tell me what happened.
Zheng Zimin angrily explained what happened in the first army. Naturally, he added a few extra details to picture Zhao Hai as a mindless and arrogant person. He mentioned that Zhao Hai didnt give face to the Heaven Sect and that he wasnt afraid of them.
Jian Wuya wasnt a three-year old child. Its impossible for him to believe everything that Zheng Zimin said. Although he wasnt on friendly terms with Zhao Hai, Jian Wuya knew what kind of person he was. At the same time, he knows Zheng Zimins personality. Out of ten points that Zheng Zimin said, six of them would be true while the rest were lies.
Although Jian Wuya secretly hated Zhao Hais overbearing att.i.tude, he could see that this overbearing att.i.tude was what allowed Zhao Hai to have strict control over the first army. This also caused the Freedom Alliances army to be very strong. Jian Wuya was sure that even without his Undead, Zhao Hais army would be able to kill twice the amount of enemies compared to the other armies. He might not like Zhao Hais att.i.tude, but Jian Wuya wouldnt dare deny that it produced results.
After Zheng Zimin finished talking, Jian Wuya sighed and said, Zimin, you must know that were currently at a critical moment in our battle against the Heavenly Demons. If Zhao Hai leaves us at this time, the impact to our strength would be very big. So, this time, no matter what, we need to give Zhao Hai face. How about this, Ill transfer you out while the others return to the first army. Dont worry, well settle this debt sooner or later.
Zheng Zimin wasnt stupid. He also knew that he wouldnt get results this time. But he had no choice but to come because there were plenty of elders who were watching him. In reality, he didnt want to be a subordinate of Zhao Hai, so he caused trouble. Now that his goal has been achieved, he naturally wouldnt make a sound.
