Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8413: Attack (1)

Zhao Hai set the Jade slip aside. It granted him sufficient time—he merely had to depart in the next three days. Through the Jade slip, he realized the Blood Slaughter Sect had amassed data on the 13 Family Alliance across the years. Evidently, the sect had long anticipated this very occasion.

Zhao Hai kept silent on the matter. The 13 Family Alliance served as a mere pawn positioned by rival sects to restrain the Blood Slaughter Sect. Yet, this pawn remained oblivious to its status. It perpetually sought to evolve from pawn into strategist. That ambition drove their plots against the Blood Slaughter Sect and other factions. In the end, their misguided maneuvers sealed their own doom.

With the Jade slip in hand, Zhao Hai stepped into the bronze statue and swiftly located Lei Xuan. He presented the Jade slip, which Lei Xuan scanned briefly before returning it. "Tell me, what are your thoughts?" Lei Xuan placed full faith in Zhao Hai's command prowess. After all, the Western Front clash had fallen entirely under Zhao Hai's direction.

Zhao Hai grinned and replied, "I'm setting out right away. We'll capture Breeze Island in the briefest span possible. Martial Uncle, join forces with me. Strike only when Island Lord-level powerhouses engage. Otherwise, hold back and observe those fellows in motion. I intend to drill them rigorously this time." The fellows in question were undoubtedly the Bloodsucker Team. Lei Xuan grasped this, so he nodded upon hearing Zhao Hai's plan and intoned deeply, "You're commanding this operation, so I'll heed your orders."

Grinning, Zhao Hai saluted Lei Xuan. "Then, Uncle-Master, take some rest. I'll alert those guys and ready us for departure." With those words, he rose and quitted the chamber. Next, he convened every member of the Bloodsucker Team. The vast space could shelter hundreds of thousands. With merely 10,000 inhabitants now, ample voids persisted. Zhao Hai chose to reshape it into a plaza. This arrangement would simplify rallying the group for discussions or emergencies.

Once the assembly was complete, Zhao Hai surveyed them and declared gravely, "The sect's directive has arrived, pinpointing our strike objective. Gear up for immediate launch. Maintain constant battle preparedness. Moreover, reflect deeply on my prior guidance regarding killing intent management. Facing mighty adversaries, I might harness everyone's killing intent for the assault. In such instances, align seamlessly with me. This novel approach will elevate our battle prowess further. Clear?"

Zhao Hai's declaration sparked vigor in the group. Chorusing together, they affirmed, "Yes, understood." They'd pondered controlling murderous aura yet failed to forge a barrier. Thus, it lingered as mere theory. Devoid of practical insight, they embraced Zhao Hai's proposal without resistance. Quite the opposite—they rejoiced. Eager to absorb murderous aura control techniques from him, they foresaw immense gains.

Observing their enthusiasm, Zhao Hai nodded and stated solemnly, "Prepare at once. I'll brief the sect shortly, then we'll depart." His silhouette flickered as he vanished from the bronze statue's confines. Reporting to the sect was imperative. Ignorance of sect developments could derail the broader scheme. Though directives urged separate actions, variables arose often. Hence, Zhao Hai deemed pre-action notification essential.

Emerging from the bronze man's form, Zhao Hai hurried to the sect and sought out Du Wansha. Du Wansha buzzed with activity then, as the total onslaught against the Thirteen Family Alliance loomed, marking his most hectic phase. Nonetheless, he received Zhao Hai. Upon entering Du Wansha's quarters, Zhao Hai beheld him seated at a desk. Stacks of Jade slips cluttered the surface. Du Wansha habitually seized one from the left pile, examined it, inputted details, and relocated it rightward. Clearly, the left held unresolved items, the right those processed.

Glancing up as Zhao Hai arrived, Du Wansha queried, "Little Hai, what's the issue?" Though posing the question, his hands persisted unabated, claiming another Jade slip from the left, perusing its text, adding entries, and shifting it to the right.

"Great Elder, I'm gearing up to assault Breeze Island, so I came to notify you," Zhao Hai intoned seriously. Fully cognizant of the Great Elder's packed schedule, Zhao Hai bypassed courtesies and dove direct. He surmised the elder favored bluntness over elaborate etiquette.

Du Wansha froze momentarily at the news, then laid down the Jade slip and pivoted to Zhao Hai. "Now? Correct me if wrong, but the command just reached you. You're advancing immediately?" Du Wansha hadn't foreseen Zhao Hai's prompt initiation.

Zhao Hai murmured lowly, "Yes, moving now. The order's issued, and with no pressing duties, why postpone? First, it lets us probe enemy dispositions. Second, it vanguard's the sect's main force."

After brief contemplation, Du Wansha proclaimed deeply, "Very well, advance. Probe the depths initially. Devise your setup. Include Lei Xuan too." Du Wansha concurred with Zhao Hai's logic. Preceding the Thirteen Family Alliance invasion, scouting for schemes proved prudent.

"Yes," Zhao Hai assented, nodding. "Fear not, Grand Elder. I'll proceed at once." He bowed with fisted hands to Du Wansha, then wheeled and exited to regroup the troops. Du Wansha eyed his retreating form with a smile. "Sharp youth, brimming with drive. The opening triumph over the Thirteen Families Alliance appears destined for you." Resuming, he grasped a Jade slip and resumed his tasks. He valued Zhao Hai and voiced mild approval, yet avoided undue favoritism. Through these trials, he aimed to swiftly acquaint Zhao Hai with their foes, hastening his adaptation to the Blood Sea Realm. Such growth would empower Zhao Hai to lead capably ahead.

Returning to his lodgings, Zhao Hai swiftly updated Lei Xuan and the Bloodsucker Team. He then secured the bronze man and triggered the mobile teleportation array. White light blazed, erasing him from the space. Via the bronze man—with all inside—he could invoke the array from any locale.

In the instant that followed, white light surged as Zhao Hai emerged within the Blood Sea. He unleashed Xenomorphs to survey the island, gauging the scene and foe alertness.

The Blood Slaughter Sect's assault on the 13 Family Alliance was no hidden affair. The 13 Family Alliance undoubtedly knew. Ha Jing's overtures to the sects were equally public; the alliance was informed. If intent on a desperate showdown with the Blood Slaughter Sect, they'd assuredly fortified. Vigilance thus bound Zhao Hai.

Swiftly, the Xenomorphs relayed updates. Breeze Island appeared routine, devoid of imminent conflict signs. Numerous cultivators roamed, yet behaved ordinarily—cultivating steadily, pursuing daily routines. All seemed unremarkable.

Normality bred greater uncertainty. Yet Zhao Hai refused further delay. He reentered the bronze man's interior and summoned Lei Xuan outward. Should the island harbor an Island Lord-level authority, Lei Xuan's aid remained vital.

Lei Xuan naturally assented. Mere ten miles separated him and Zhao Hai from the island. To cultivators, that span vanished in a flash. No obstacle at all. Astonishingly, even so near, the islanders mounted no defenses, startling Zhao Hai.

Still, Zhao Hai resolved to strike. His form abruptly ascended from the blood sea. Hand gesturing, the bronze man's frame ballooned instantly into a colossal figure nearing a thousand meters. It gripped a massive saber scarcely shorter than itself. Another gesture propelled the bronze man toward Breeze Island, saber aloft.

Clear Breeze Island's cultivators spotted the bronze man then. Upon viewing it and its wielded saber, panic gripped Breeze Island's denizens. None sought to intercept. Instead, they retreated skyward. Plainly, evading the bronze man's onslaught! Abruptly, a call echoed from Breeze Island: "Hold for a moment!" Trailing the shout, a figure soared upward. His presence radiated power—an Island Master-level expert, no less. Yet he harbored no assault intent, merely crying "hold" while ascending.

Perplexed, Zhao Hai eyed the figure. He appeared in his forties, clad in scholarly robes. Pale-faced and clean-shaven, he exuded striking handsomeness. Hovering over Breeze Island, he saluted with cupped fists toward Zhao Hai and Lei Xuan. "I am Shangguan Qingfeng, Breeze Island's master. Salutations, fellow Daoists of the Bloody Massacre Sect. Might you be Zhao Hai?"

Startled, Zhao Hai hadn't anticipated recognition falling to him over Lei Xuan. But pondering the halted bronze statue, enlightenment dawned—the colossus had become his hallmark. Spotting it, the foe identified him instantly. Still, he glanced at Lei Xuan, who nodded affirmatively. Zhao Hai then returned the fist salute to Shangguan Qingfeng. "Indeed, I am Zhao Hai. What words does Island Master Shangguan wish to share?"
