Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8622: Identity (1)

Capítulo 8622: Identity (1)

A dull thud resounded with a bang! bang! from their colliding palms. An overwhelming force surged into Yao Jianhao's hand, causing his frame to shake violently as he stumbled back several paces. Each step gouged a deep mark into the earth. In contrast, Zhao Hai's feet stayed perfectly still, simply buried deep into the soil. Clearly, Zhao Hai dominated this clash!

Tie Feng couldn't hide his shocked expression upon witnessing this. He understood Yao Jianhao's power all too well. Yao Jianhao had always believed no one in this realm could surpass him in raw might. Yet now, someone had pushed him back and proved even stronger. How could Tie Feng not feel stunned?

Shock filled Yao Jianhao's gaze as he stared at Zhao Hai. He hadn't anticipated Zhao Hai possessing such overwhelming strength to repel him. Luckily, no harm came to him. Still, astonishment lingered in his eyes toward Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai met his look steadily. He had pulled back his fist, and his figure gradually lifted. The ground smoothed out once more, though the shattered stone slab stayed broken.

Yao Jianhao withdrew his palm as well. His eyes bulged as he fixed on Zhao Hai, growling deeply, “Who are you? Reveal your identity! If not, I swear you won't escape the Giant Demon Sect alive today!” He already sensed a grave threat from Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai's power clearly exceeded his own. Such a figure terrified him. Turning him into an enemy would spell endless trouble. Thus, murderous resolve ignited within Yao Jianhao.

Zhao Hai gazed at Yao Jianhao with a grin. “Me? I'm the head of the Ghostly Shadow Group, Gui Ying. If Sect Leader Yao insists on learning my name, that's no issue, but first, this Iron Island Lord must depart. Only Sect Leader Yao can discover my real identity. I wonder if Sect Leader Yao has the courage.”

Yao Jianhao eyed Zhao Hai and burst into laughter. “Excellent, intriguing! Nothing daunts me. Tie Feng, step outside briefly. I need private words with Mr. Phantom. Order everyone outside to clear away. No one approaches without my command.” The clash between Yao Jianhao and Zhao Hai had alerted those beyond. Giant Demon Sect elites had already encircled the spot, prompting his directive.

Tie Feng shot Zhao Hai a glance before urging Yao Jianhao, “Sect Master, this is far too risky!” He now confirmed Zhao Hai matched or exceeded Yao Jianhao's prowess. Leaving Zhao Hai alone posed extreme danger. He opposed Yao Jianhao's choice. As sect leader, any mishap to Yao Jianhao would doom the Giant Demon Sect.

“Go on, it's safe.” Yao Jianhao dismissed him with a wave. Though ignorant of Zhao Hai's origins, he detected Zhao Hai holding back during their bout. Even restrained, Zhao Hai's might shone clear. Crucially, no hostile intent radiated from Zhao Hai, so he doubted any attack. Even if attempted, he held no fear. Despite the earlier retreat, victory over Zhao Hai seemed assured. Such was his supreme expert's arrogance.

Tie Feng eyed Zhao Hai once more, then spun and exited the study. Outside, he commanded the rest to withdraw, yet lingered close to Yao Jianhao's study. Naturally, he avoided spying on their talk. He simply stood ready to rush in at any odd noise from within.

With Tie Feng gone from the study, Yao Jianhao turned to Zhao Hai. “Out with it—declare your true identity!” He burned to uncover Zhao Hai's background. When had such a powerhouse emerged in the Blood Sea Realm? Why form a shadowy assassin band like the Ghost Shadow Group? With that strength, establishing his own sect made far more sense than a disreputable killer outfit.

Zhao Hai smiled at Yao Jianhao, then clasped his fists. “Disciple Zhao Hai greets Martial Uncle Yao!” He bowed profoundly to Yao Jianhao before rising. A grin lit his face as he watched Yao Jianhao's response. As a Blood Slaughter Sect member, Yao Jianhao's seniority matched Lei Gang's. Their sects enjoyed strong ties, making the address fitting.

Yao Jianhao paused in shock upon hearing those words. The name Zhao Hai struck a chord of familiarity, yet it also seemed somewhat unfamiliar. He failed to respond right away when Zhao Hai addressed him as uncle. Abruptly, recollection hit him, narrowing his eyes while a spark of delight crossed his face. Fixing his gaze on Zhao Hai, he declared, “Are you really Zhao Hai? Zhao Hai from the Bloody Massacre Sect?”

The fame of Zhao Hai was legendary. He had served as the top Pro-disciple of the Bloody Massacre Sect and was renowned as the leading Pro-disciple across the Blood Sea Realm. Naturally, Yao Jianhao knew that name well. Lately, though, it hadn't come up, causing a brief delay in recognition. Yet he swiftly recalled its origin, leading to his inquiry.

Zhao Hai grinned. "That's right, it's Zhao Hai. When the Bloody Massacre Sect faced disaster, I was out on a sect mission, thus surviving the fall. Afterward, I came back to the sect, gathered the remaining survivors, and we together created the Ghost Shadow Group."

Gazing intently at Zhao Hai, Yao Jianhao spoke gravely, “What evidence proves you're Zhao Hai? Resembling him doesn't confirm it, does it?” Yao Jianhao remained skeptical toward Zhao Hai, given his overwhelming power. Back when the Blood Slaughter Sect fell, Zhao Hai had merely been a legacy disciple, his power limited to the Profound Qi Realm. Yet now, he could match Yao Jianhao evenly and even gain the advantage. Such rapid progress seemed unbelievable.

Zhao Hai met Yao Jianhao's eyes and replied, “Junior Master, no need for doubts—I'm truly Zhao Hai. If proof is required, behold this!” With a flick of his hand, a lengthy crimson blade materialized in his grasp, clearly a divine weapon.

Seeing that elder's sword, Yao Jianhao's face shifted subtly. While others might overlook this blade, he recognized it instantly. It was the famed treasure of the Blood Slaughter Sect: the God-slaying Blade. The sect possessed two ultimate treasures—the God-slaying Saber and the Blood Slaughter Saber. Lately, the God-slaying Saber saw the most use. Long safeguarded within the sect, it emerged only once against the Corpse Demon Patriarch, wounding him twice. Though shattered eventually, its legend endured as the sole magic tool capable of harming upper-realm powerhouses.

The God-slaying Blade was even more notorious throughout the Blood Sea Realm. In past clashes with rival sects, the Blood Slaughter Sect often wielded it, inflicting heavy losses on foes. The Giant Demon Sect had escaped that fate, yet Yao Jianhao knew it well, thanks to his close ties with the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Witnessing Zhao Hai produce the God-slaying Saber convinced Yao Jianhao somewhat. Still, he pressed Zhao Hai, “Word has it the God-slaying Saber was discarded during the fight with the Corpse Demon Patriarch. How do we know you didn't just pick it up?” Though belief grew, Yao Jianhao sought further confirmation. The stakes were too high. If Zhao Hai truly hailed from the Blood Slaughter Sect and led the Ghost Shadow Group, the Giant Demon Sect could rest easy this time. He held deep faith in the Blood Slaughter Sect's prowess.

Zhao Hai chuckled, stowing the God-slaying Saber. He then formed hand seals and intoned deeply, “Lin!” An imposing aura erupted around him, akin to an unyielding mountain, steadfast against all turmoil.

Yao Jianhao's shock deepened at Zhao Hai's display, soon turning to wild joy. Laughing heartily at Zhao Hai, he exclaimed, “Excellent, excellent, excellent! Indeed Zhao Hai. You've mastered the Incantation Palm superbly. Rumors said your version differed from Ha Jing's, and seeing it confirms the truth. Wonderful! The Blood Slaughter Sect's legacy endures. Come, sit down. Recount how you survived that catastrophe.”

Upon hearing Yao Jianhao's words, Zhao Hai immediately grasped the meaning. The man had recognized his true identity. With a smile, he took a seat and started detailing his acceptance of the sect's mission, his ascent to lead the Ghostwind bandits, his discovery of the bloody massacre sect's dire fate, his assembly of its scattered members, and the path that brought him to this moment.

Certain details, naturally, were left unspoken. He skipped any mention of the space inside the small boat, merely noting that the eerie Wind Ghost flag allowed free movement across the blood sea. He revealed nothing about his command over the dark ghost sect. To Yao Jianhao, he shared only what was prudent. He did highlight his own power, though, claiming thousands of Island Lord level experts at his disposal, along with control over several minor sects.

That alone filled Yao Jianhao with great joy. After Zhao Hai finished speaking, he responded with deep emotion and relief, “Good, Zhao Hai, you’re a good man. It’s the bloody massacre sect’s fortune to have a disciple like you. I understand what you mean. You don’t want too many people to know about your affair. Don’t worry. Only I know your identity. By the way, does Tie Feng’s disciple know your identity?” Yao Jianhao fully realized the need to conceal Zhao Hai and the others' identities. In his view, they remained far too weak; revealing themselves now would surely draw relentless pursuit from the corpse demon sect—a disastrous prospect—which explained his question.
