Text Chapter 570 Suspiciousness
In fact, Zhao Hai did not think about it at first, and immediately took back all the power of all the island owners of the Thirty-three Islands in the South China Sea, because now is an extraordinary period, and people from the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance may attack them at any time. Attack, at this time, it is not appropriate to isolate all the islands and island owners in the South China Sea, otherwise it will only arouse the resentment of the island owners.
Therefore, even if the islands in the South China Sea were merged into the Exploration Sect, Zhao Hai would only set up branches on the islands in the South China Sea. The original island owners of the Thirty-three Islands in the South China Sea would recognize the leaders of each branch. Of course, the South Thirty-three In Jiudao, we can no longer let them be the hall masters. The hall masters there are people sent by Tanhai Sect.
As for island masters like Xie Yiming and Gui Xinyu, who sincerely wanted to merge into the Tanhai Sect, although they accepted this arrangement, they put their positions very seriously. They agreed to be the leader of the hall. However, Zhao Hai must be asked to send several deputy hall masters to manage the affairs on their island together. They may even invite monks from the Tanhai Sect to settle on the island, and some of their disciples on the island must also be transferred outside.
But in the South China Sea, there are some island owners who don't think so. When they were beaten by the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance and had no choice, they really wanted to put them in the Exploration Sect to find something for themselves. A way back.
However, when Zhao Hai set up a large formation here in the South China Sea and wiped out more than one million people in the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance, they no longer thought so. Not only were they not grateful to the Tanhai Sect, they actually felt a little resentful, because in their It seemed that the Tanhai Sect had a way to deal with the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance a long time ago, but it never helped them. It had to wait until the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance forced them into a desperate situation before taking action. And they were also incorporated into the Exploration Sect. This clearly means that he wants to devour them. Of course they were angry.
But they never thought that if they didn't merge into the Tanhai Sect, why would the Tanhai Sect help them? The Tanhai Sect is not Lei Feng, who specializes in doing good things. They are a cultivation sect, expanding and strengthening themselves. This is what they should do.
In any case, those island owners were somewhat resentful of Zhao Hai, so after Zhao Hai appointed them as the branch hall masters, not only did they have no intention of handing over their power, but they tightened their grip on it. , on the one hand, Zhao Hai was not allowed to send people to manage the islands, and on the other hand, he was not allowed to let the people on their islands come into contact with the people of the Sea Exploration Sect, nor was he allowed the people of the Sea Exploration Sect to transfer the people on their islands to other places. . Not to mention the Sea Exploration Sect was not allowed to transfer people to the island, and there was even less contact with the Sea Exploration Sect.
They do this. Naturally, Wen Wenhai was extremely annoyed. After asking Zhao Hai for instructions, Wen Wenhai began to treat the people on these islands differently.
Islands such as Ling Crab Island and Shen Turtle Island were devoted to following the Sea Exploration Sect. The Sea Exploration Sect transferred some of the disciples on their islands to other places. Of course, they also added many more disciples and also supported them a lot. Supplies to help them rebuild the island. As for those islands that don't pay much attention to the Tanhai Sect, Wen Wenhai has a way to sink troops outside the island, impose heavy taxes, and transport all the accumulation on the island over the years back to the Tanhai Sect. If you If you dare not hand it over, we will send troops to deal with you. At the same time, we will station troops on the island, send people to manage the islands together, transfer the disciples on the island, transfer the disciples of the Sea Exploration Sect, or disciples from other islands, and use various methods. , all used.
The people on the island also wanted to resist when they saw the methods used by the Tanhai Sect. However, before they could move, the magic circle on their island began to show its power. All the people on the island felt the pressure. Being on the island was like being in the water. The pressure made them feel very uncomfortable. They now also know how the monks of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance felt when they were trapped by the formation.
Naturally, the people on those islands did not dare to resist, and then the island owners of those islands were directly transferred to the main hall of the Tanhai Sect and became an idle elder. All those islands were replaced by others to manage them. , and those disciples on the island have all been demoted. They are still disciples of the Tanhai Sect, but their treatment is not as good as others, and they have been clearly told that it is because of your previous behavior that you will be punished. .
As soon as such words were spoken, the disciples on the island naturally developed hatred towards their original island owners. Originally, like the people on other islands, they could receive a lot of training materials every month, but now The amount of training materials they receive every month is only half of that of the disciples on other islands. They have to wait until they perform well in the future to be the same as the disciples on other islands. How can they balance their hearts? Everyone surrendered to the Haizong, but they could receive twice as much training materials as themselves. How could they not be angry?
This is the purpose of Zhao Hai and the others. They want to let those people understand that you have surrendered to us, so be honest with me. If you don't obey me, there will be ways to deal with you.
Those islands didn't understand this truth at first, but they understood it now, but it was too late. Only then did they realize that the Sea Exploration Sect was indeed not something they could compete with now.
Although these matters were handled by Wen Wenhai, they were approved by Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai would never allow anyone to be disobedient in the Tanhai Sect.
It has been half a month since the opening of the free trade zone, and the islands in the South China Sea have finally calmed down. The disobedient island owners were transferred away, and the monks on the islands who ignored them were also punished to a certain extent, but it was soon I gave them some benefits, which made the last bit of resentment in the hearts of the monks on those islands disappear. Now even the island owners of those islands will not be able to control those islands when they return to those islands. , the disciples on the island are no longer listening to them.
For more than half a month, Zhao Hai's focus has been on the wild sea beasts in the South China Sea. He has been controlling the large formation to suppress those sea beasts for half a month. Some sea beasts that are not very aggressive have already They surrendered, but there are still some sea beasts. They have not surrendered. They are still resisting, but it doesn't matter anymore.
At this time, Zhao Hai received news that the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance had made some changes. It seemed that after being silent for such a long time, they were finally ready to take action.
Now explore the situation here in Haizong Free Trade Zone. Compared with before. no difference. If there is any difference, there is only one difference, and that is that there are fewer Haizong troops stationed in the free trade zone, and they are not even experts.
The opening of the free trade zone has also attracted a large number of casual cultivators, although some time ago, all major sects supported some small sects. It has absorbed a lot of casual cultivators, but there are too many casual cultivators in the Sword Spirit World, so there are still many casual cultivators who have not joined those sects, and here in the Free Trade Zone, for those casual cultivators, it is Heaven.
The fees charged here in the free trade zone are very low, but they can ensure their safety. They can buy anything they need here. Of course, as long as you have the crystal in your hand. Moreover, the things they can buy here are much cheaper than what they can buy elsewhere, so many casual cultivators will come here to make a living in the free trade zone.
In the previous war between the South China Sea Alliance and the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance, the free trade zone was closed, which caused many casual cultivators to suffer heavy losses. Their income dropped a lot. Now that the free trade zone has reopened, those casual cultivators are naturally very happy. .
The Evil Ghost Sect Alliance did make some moves in the Free Trade Zone this time. They asked some disciples to pretend to be casual cultivators and enter the Free Trade Zone. They even left the Free Trade Zone and entered the Tanhai Sect. Within the territory.
At the same time, the army from the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance also began to gather, preparing to launch an attack on the Tanhai Sect.
The last time the free trade zone was closed when the two sides were about to go to war, but this time, Zhao Hai did not let the free trade zone close. He even announced that even if there was a war, the free trade zone would not be closed.
Such a decision seems crazy to many sects. Any sect, during a war, will close some places to the outside world, even if this place is on the periphery of the sect and is not an important place. As for the free trade zone, it is at the core of Tanhai Sect, near the main hall of Tanhai Sect. Under such circumstances, Zhao Hai did not close the free trade zone. This is not crazy. This is tantamount to, When you are fighting the enemy, you leave a half-open door in your home so that the enemy can come and go at will. This can no longer be called crazy, it can be called suicide.
But Zhao Hai didn't care. That's what he decided. The free trade zone will always be open. Even if a war comes, it will not be closed.
All the major sects couldn't understand Zhao Hai's actions. However, the major sects had no intention of withdrawing from the free trade zone. In their view, even if there was a real fight, they would not be attacked. Evil ghosts Those guys in the Sect Alliance would not dare to attack them as long as they are not crazy, because those guys in the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance know very well that if they face the Tanhai Sect and other major sects, Then they will lose, so they dare not touch the free trade zone.
Of course, it is safe in the free trade zone, but the main hall of Tanhai Sect is not necessarily safe, because the main hall of Tanhai Sect is really too close to the free trade zone, and it is easy for people to steal from the free trade zone. Rush out of the trade area and attack directly.
If we want to say who is happiest about Zhao Hai's decision, it is naturally the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. Although they don't understand why Zhao Hai did this, it is definitely a good thing for them, so the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance After the alliance assembled its army, it immediately drove outside the territory of the original Xuantian Sect alliance, preparing to attack the Tanhai Sect.
What's interesting is that the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's army has begun to explore outside the Hai Sect's territory, but in the free trade zone, the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's shops are still open, and the people of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance are actually... He didn't care about them, and didn't even mean to embarrass them. The two parties even conducted a transaction, which surprised everyone.
This time, not only the big sects, but also the people in the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance didn't know what to do. They always felt that there was something fishy about this matter, but they couldn't tell what was wrong, because Zhao Hai All the things they have done so far are beneficial to them. This makes the people of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance happy, but they also start to wonder in their hearts. He muttered, wondering what kind of conspiracy Zhao Hai is playing, he is like this His approach was really far from his previous performance.
Now everyone in the Sword Spirit World knows that Zhao Hai is powerful, unparalleled in scheming, and ruthless. He is said to be powerful, as can be seen from the fact that he can kill several supreme elder masters. He is said to be unparalleled in scheming. It can be seen from the fact that he is full of tricks when facing the enemy. It can be seen from the fact that he can swallow up the Iron Buddha Temple, the Xuanhai Sect Alliance and the Seventy-two Islands in the South China Sea one after another. If His heart is not ruthless and his hands are not strong enough. How could he swallow up these sects? Although on the surface, it seems that these sects are willing to take refuge in him, but why do these sects take refuge in him? He will be able to defend his territory immediately, but if he doesn't take refuge with him, his sect will be destroyed soon. Isn't this enough to explain the problem?
But what Zhao Hai is doing now is really confusing. Why doesn't he close the free trade zone? Why does he want to trade with the Evil Ghost Sect? What is his plan?
In fact, people all have this kind of mentality, a habitual mentality. When a fool is recognized by everyone, even if he does something very smart, everyone will only think that he is doing something stupid. , but when a very smart person suddenly does something stupid, everyone will think that he did not mean it, and everyone will study it. Maybe they can really study something, but What is certain is that the other party did not mean that, and everything you researched was imposed on the other party.
The situation in Zhao Hai is similar now. The reason why Zhao Hai has always opened the free trade zone is because he is not worried at all. Even the people from the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance and the Demon Sword Sect have sent all their supreme elder masters there. Coming too far will not have any impact on him. If he wants to attack the Tanhai Sect's main hall, he should not even think about it. Even if Zhao Hai uses the large formation he has built now, he cannot attack those supreme elders. The masters were killed, but it was still possible to trap them. In the end, their spiritual energy might be consumed, just like the Demon Blood Sword and the others.
It was precisely because Zhao Hai was not worried that he kept the free trade zone open, but he did not expect that this would make the people of the Evil Ghost Sect even more suspicious. Even the people of the Evil Ghost Sect, because of this, There was no rash attack on the Tanhai Sect. They just stopped the army outside the Tanhai Sect and carefully observed the Tanhai Sect.
After Zhao Hai knew this situation, he was very impatient. He didn't want to go out and attack the people of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance now, because there was no need, and now he couldn't destroy all the sects in the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance. , it is impossible to annihilate all the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance's army this time by taking the initiative to attack, so there is no point in taking the initiative to attack. However, he did not expect that the people of the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance would be so timid and dare not Attack them. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
