Chapter 2214: Blood Knife Gang Visits

Ma Long and Liu Cai’s expression changed several times. Finally, they looked at each other and bitterly smiled. At the same time, they cupped their fist and said, “We’ll follow Junior Brother Zhao’s instruction.” Although they didn’t want to go to a major city, Wei Tiande told them to listen to Zhao Hai or else he would take their lives.

Zhao Hai looked at the two and then said, “We aren’t going to stay in Split River city for long, but it’s not good to offend a few gangs in the city. Therefore, I’ll go to the gangs in the city to pay a visit and explain our situation to them.”

The two nodded. Then Zhao Hai added, “Tomorrow, I’ll have to ask Senior Brothers to go to the mission hall and see if there are missions that will take us to a major city in the Forbidden Path Sect. It’s best if we could take a group mission, so we will be safer.”

The other two complied. Zhao Hai said a couple more words to the two before they left Zhao Hai’s room.

Seeing the two leave, Zhao Hai went to bed and then took out a small transmission formation. He took out a jade slip and wrote about today’s experience before placing it on the transmission formation. With a flash of white light, the jade slip vanished from sight.

The transmission formation was given by Wei Tiande to Zhao Hai. This was to transmit information specifically to Wei Tiande.

After sending the letter to Wei Tiande, Zhao Hai took out another transmission formation and wrote down the situation of Split River City. Then after sending the jade slip out, he retrieved the transmission formation. Zhao Hai let out a sigh of relief and sat cross-legged on the bed. He slowly closed his eyes and contacted Laura.

Zhao Hai had to deal with three things at the same time. He needed to tell three people about himself. The first was Wei Tiande, there was also the Yin Yang Elders, then there was also Long Tian.

Zhao Hai already went to the underground world. But he didn’t expect to be sent to the True Spirit Realm by the Battle Corpse Sect. Naturally, Zhao Hai had to tell the Yin Yang Elders about the situation. The same was true for Long Tian. He already told Long Tian before he went to the underground world. Now that he was back in the True Spirit Realm, he naturally had to send word to Long Tian. With the strength of the Long Clan, it wasn’t impossible for them to help him in secret.

Zhao Hai’s position in the Battle Corpse Sect was no longer low. However, he lacked huge achievements. If he can get a few big contributions for the Battle Corpse Sect, the sect would no longer be suspicious of him.

Once Zhao Hai’s identity becomes stable in the Battle Corpse Sect, he would be of greater help to the Long Clan and the Tyrant Blade Sect. Therefore, Zhao Hai had to tell the Long Clan and the Tyrant Blade Sect about his presence in the True Spirit Realm. When necessary, the two sects might help him to complete his mission.

Actually, Zhao Hai can complete his mission right now, but he can’t tell Wei Tiande immediately. There is chaos in the True Spirit Realm. The Demon and the Evil Factions are uniting to deal with the Righteous Faction. Once Zhao Hai tells Wei Tiande this news, it would be a great achievement.

Since Ma Long and Liu Cai were present, Zhao Hai couldn’t explain the origin of the information. He can only wait. Zhao Hai also wanted to look at the Demonic Cultivators and see why they wanted to attack the Righteous Faction.

Zhao Hai divulging information to Wei Tiande wasn’t considered a betrayal to the True Spirit Realm. This was because it wouldn’t be long before the underground world would find out about the secret. It was better to use this as an opportunity to make a great contribution.

However, Zhao Hai found nobody mentioning this information in Split River City. Therefore, he wanted to go to a major city.

Zhao Hai was well aware of the dangers of a major city. But at the same time, there are more opportunities in a major city compared to a smaller city. Also, secrets might not be as hidden in major cities.

As Zhao Hai was explaining the situation to Laura, he felt a few presences heading towards his room. He immediately said goodbye to Laura and then stood up. He had a feeling that these people were coming for him.

However, Zhao Hai wasn’t worried. He could feel that these people weren’t strong. The strongest among them was an Earth Monarch. Although they had an aura of hostility, there was no killing intent. 

Zhao Hai stood up as the group arrived outside Zhao Hai’s door. Then a voice was heard, “Liu Zhen, master of the Blood Knife Gang’s Soldier Hall is here. I hope Mister can meet us.”

Zhao Hai stared, he didn’t expect the other party to be so direct. But he immediately walked over and opened the door. Outside were seven cultivators with the person in front being a man seemingly around 30 years old. He was tall but he was thin. However, he didn’t give out a feeling of being weak. He gave off the aura of metal that has been hammered over ten thousand times to become fine steel.

Because he’s thin, the man’s eyes looked very big, but they shone nonetheless. He doesn’t look easy to deal with. Zhao Hai didn’t dare look down on him. He immediately cupped his fist and said, “Zhao Ling has seen Hall Master Liu. Although I just arrived in Split River City, I’m well aware of the Blood Knife Gang’s prestige. Its reputation is like thunder in my ears. I didn’t expect Hall Master Liu to see me personally. I’m really honored. Hall Master, please come in.”

Liu Zhen laughed and said, “Mister must be joking. You and your friends at the Soul Fusion Stage suddenly came to our small city. It would be disrespectful if our Blood Knife Gang didn’t come by and give our greetings.”

Zhao Hai stared, then he immediately understood Liu Zhen’s message. The Blood Knife Gang might be one of Split River City’s biggest gangs, Split River City wasn’t a big city. The Blood Knife Gang is indeed strong, but that was in the context of Split River City. In the city, Soul Fusion Cultivators were already experts. Zhao Hai and the others were at the Soul Fusion Stage, and they arrived at Split River City together. They’re group held quite some strength for a gang in Split River City. Therefore, the Blood Knife Gang couldn’t help but pay Zhao Hai a visit.

However, Zhao Hai didn’t dare to be arrogant. Although the Blood Knife Gang was being polite, it sent out its Soldier Hall Master. As soon as he heard the name of this hall, Zhao Hai knew that it was the gang’s main battle hall and Liu Zhen was much more than an Earth Monarch. The Blood Knife Gang did this as a show of power. They wanted Zhao Hai and the others to understand that although they are at the Soul Fusion Stage, they are still in Split River City, the Blood Knife Gang’s territory.

Naturally, Zhao Hai understood Liu Zhen’s message. He cupped his fist and said, “Hall Master Liu, we three brothers just arrived in the city and are unfamiliar with the place. It was already rude of us to not pay our respects when we arrived. Hall Master Liu, please come inside.” Liu Zhen nodded and followed Zhao Hai inside his room. Two other cultivators followed Liu Zhen. Four people were left outside to guard.

Upon entering the room, the host and the guests found seats for themselves. Then Zhao Hai cupped his fist and said, “Hall Master Liu’s visit is truly unexpected. Us three brothers are just passing by Split River City. We plan to stay in the city for a few days and take a mission before leaving. I didn’t expect Hall Master Liu to take notice of us. I hope Hall Master Liu doesn’t blame us.”

Hearing this, Liu Zhen’s expression couldn’t help but relax. Zhao Hai was clearly telling him that he has no plans of staying in the city. They were just passing by and were going to leave after taking a mission.

Liu Zhen cupped his fist and said, “I see. I took the liberty and disturbed your rest, I hope Mister can forgive me. Our Blood Knife Gang is welcoming to all cultivators that come and visit the city. It would be an honor if Mister can be friends with our gang. If Mister has something to do in the future, please don’t hesitate to approach us. As long as we can help, our Blood Knife Gang will do our best.”

Zhao Hai quickly replied, “Hall Master Liu is too polite. I will remember the Blood Knife Gang’s kindness. If you need help later, you don’t need to be polite.”

Liu Zhen laughed, “That’s good. I have already reserved a room in the Wild Goose Pavilion. I wonder if I can have the honor of inviting Mister and his companions to a meal? Allow me to be a good host.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Having a meal with the Hall Master will be a great honor to me and my brothers. I’ll go and invite my brothers over.”

Liu Zhen smiled and said, “Then I’ll wait for Mister.” Zhao Hai nodded and stood up. Liu Zhen followed behind Zhao Hai. After calling Ma Long and Liu Cai over, Zhao Hai introduced them to Liu Zhen. Then the group went to the Wild Goose Pavilion.

While they were eating in the Wild Goose Pavilion, Liu Zhen asked about Zhao Hai’s background. Naturally, Zhao Hai told him the identity provided by Wei Tian. In any case, they wouldn’t find any holes in his story. After knowing their status, Liu Zhen no longer asked. On the contrary, he became more friendly. He promised Zhao Hai and the others that he would help them find a mission that was heading towards a major city. 

After eating, Liu Zhen led his group and left. Zhao Hai also led Ma Long and Liu Cai back to the hotel. The three congregated in Zhao Hai’s room once more. After sitting down, Zhao Hai looked at the other two and said, “It seems like we really cannot stay long in Split River City. If we don’t leave within two days, the other gangs might pay us a visit. Let’s head to the mission hall and look for any appropriate mission. Then we’ll leave.”

Ma Long nodded, then he sighed and said, “I didn’t expect the local gangs to be so forward. They are clearly forcing us. If it weren’t for Junior Brother Zhao saying that we’ll leave soon, I’m afraid that Liu Zhen will use another face. We’ve underestimated them.”

Liu Cai agreed, “If we aren’t in the Soul Fusion Stage, the Blood Knife Gang wouldn’t have that attitude. In the past, I thought only the gangs in the underground world were fierce. I didn’t expect the gangs in the True Spirit Realm to be the same.”

Zhao Hai replied, “The smaller the city, the more chaotic it will be. There aren’t too many things in smaller cities to fight for. On the other hand, the benefits in a major city are too huge. Sects wouldn’t just give these benefits up. This would make it very hard for gangs to survive. Only a medium-grade city would have big enough resources to fight for but small enough for sects to not care. These places foster fierce groups like gangs.”

Ma Long nodded, “Then let’s go to a major city to take a look. I want to see what big cities in the True Spirit Realm look like. To be honest, the sun of the True Spirit Realm feels good. It’s much more comfortable than earthfire pillars. This place should belong to us Ghost Cultivators.”

Ma Long’s words immediately caused Liu Cai to react. With a cold voice, Liu Cai said, “Just wait. Sooner or later, the True Spirit Realm will belong to us.”

Looking at the two, Zhao Hai said, “Alright, don’t say such words in the True Spirit Realm. Split River City has no experts, but the same can’t be said for major cities. We need to watch our words. If we give our identities away, we won’t be able to preserve our poor lives.”
