The dark ghost sect was attacked using methods identical to Zhao Hai's group, causing confusion and suspicion of revenge or a plot to sow discord. Zhao Hai suspects a new sect is involved and instructs his subordinates to investigate while he seeks help from his martial uncle, Yao Jianhao, revealing that he has already gained control over the dark ghost sect.

Zhao Hai addressed Yao Jianhao, stating, "This time, I request you dispatch some individuals to the Yin Yang Sect. I shall retain a contingent to assist you. Together, you will execute our pre-arranged strategy against the Yin Yang Sect. Regarding the Yin Ghost Sect incident, I will personally lead my men back to confront those who dare to impersonate us. This will resolve the matter without further complication. What are your thoughts, Junior Uncle?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's proposal, Yao Jianhao nodded in agreement. "Indeed, that is a sound plan. However, seeing as you are currently focused on the Yin Yang Sect, I suggest you continue that offensive. We can undertake the task of locating and dealing with the individuals from the Yin Ghost Sect. What say you?"

Zhao Hai, however, shook his head and explained softly, "Let us handle this ourselves. The Dark Ghost Sect is unaware of our true identities, making it somewhat inconvenient for you to become directly involved. It is best if you do not engage with the Dark Ghost Sect at this juncture. While we have gained control over the Dark Ghost Sect's operations, their knowledge of our actual identities is nonexistent. We are currently operating under the guise of the Ghost Group to manage them. You are aware that the Dark Ghost Sect harbors a significant grievance against us. Should they discover our true identities, it would place us in considerable peril. They would undoubtedly seek to inform the Ghost Ancestor, even at the cost of their own lives, which would prove quite troublesome. Therefore, I shall personally manage the affairs concerning the Ghost Sect."

Yao Jianhao considered Zhao Hai's words for a moment before nodding. "You speak the truth. Very well, it is settled. I shall proceed to gather our forces for the assault on the Yin Yang Sect. You, in turn, will address the situation with the Yin Ghost Sect. However, this is no small undertaking. Do you possess any leads?"

Zhao Hai's expression turned somber as he shook his head and let out a sigh. "I lack concrete clues at present, but I am certain that the perpetrator is neither from the Yin Yang Sect nor the Corpse Demon Sect. It is highly probable that the instigator belongs to another sect entirely. I cannot fathom their motives for undertaking such an action. However, in my assessment, this entire affair is likely orchestrated against us, not the Yin Ghost Sect. Their targeting of the Yin Ghost Sect was merely a ruse to draw us in."

Zhao Hai had meticulously replayed the entire sequence of events in his mind numerous times. It was precisely due to this thorough consideration that he felt this incident might not be directed at the Dark Ghost Sect, but rather at them. The Dark Ghost Sect, as one of the nine major sects, had historically maintained amicable relations with most other sects, with the exception of the Blood Hangman Sect. While they had recently made an enemy of the Blood Hangman Sect, their relationships with the other sects had been generally positive in the past. Despite the recent setbacks the Dark Ghost Sect had endured, they were by no means a weakened force. If any of the other sects were to launch an attack against the Dark Ghost Sect, they would undoubtedly face severe retribution. It was unlikely they would provoke such a conflict without a considerable degree of confidence.

Furthermore, the methods employed against the Yin Ghost Sect were identical to those used against the Yin Yang Sect. This observation led to the deduction that the opposing party's objective was not merely the subjugation of the Yin Ghost Sect, but rather a direct challenge to them. Had their intention been solely to deal with the Yin Ghost Sect, they would not have resorted to the same tactics used against the Yin Yang Sect. Such an action would only make sense if the perpetrator were a member of the Yin Yang Sect seeking vengeance, but the Yin Yang Sect was entirely under their surveillance, rendering such a scenario impossible. The culprit had to be from another sect. The fact that other sects were employing the same tactics against the Yin Ghost Sect as they had against the Yin Yang Sect strongly indicated that their true target was none other than Zhao Hai and his allies. It was this thorough reasoning that prompted Zhao Hai to share his suspicions with Yao Jianhao. He was eager to ascertain who possessed the audacity to oppose them.

Yao Jianhao was momentarily taken aback, then responded with a grave tone, "It appears they have come meticulously prepared. We must exercise extreme caution." This line of reasoning had not occurred to Yao Jianhao previously, but Zhao Hai's explanation made him realize the escalating complexity of the situation.

Zhao Hai affirmed with a deep voice, "This matter is indeed somewhat troublesome. Therefore, Martial Uncle, when you transition to our position, it is advisable for the Giant Demon Sect to establish robust defensive measures. Should the enemy indeed be this well-prepared, they might anticipate your movements and attempt to intercept you. In such a scenario, they might even launch an attack on the Giant Demon Sect during your offensive. If that occurs, we will act on their behalf. Our adversaries this time are undeniably formidable."

Yao Jianhao’s expression shifted. He looked towards Zhao Hai, inquiring, "You believe they won't guess? Could they have anticipated our move? Is it possible they've discerned our connection?" This uncertainty gnawed at Yao Jianhao; if their affiliation with Zhao Hai were revealed, they might become targets alongside him, necessitating immediate preparations.

Zhao Hai shook his head. "It's unlikely they'll figure out our direct relationship. However, our prior assistance to the Dark Ghost Sect, their subsequent aid to us, and now our support for you... it's difficult to dismiss the possibility that they might anticipate a similar reciprocal arrangement. Consequently, extreme caution is advised for your side."

Yao Jianhao's face grew grim as well. He nodded, acknowledging, "Indeed, we must be exceptionally vigilant. The enemy's current strategy mirrors your previous approach: a direct assault into the heart of the Sect, targeting the islands. Even with a defensive perimeter established outside, we'd be unable to effectively counter such a tactic. This presents a significant challenge."

After a moment's thought, Zhao Hai produced a spatial bag and presented it to Yao Jianhao. "Martial Uncle, within this are some newly developed early warning magical formations we call the Big Dipper Mother-Child Formation. It comprises 360 child formations and a single mother formation. You can deploy these formations throughout the Giant Demon Sect's territory. Activating the mother formation will grant you surveillance over the entire networked area. Any significant movement of magical artifacts or large groups of individuals will be immediately detected. Furthermore, Martial Uncle, you needn't personally lead an assault on the Yin Yang Sect. Dispatching capable experts and some disciples will suffice. I shall also leave some personnel behind; this should adequately address any potential issues."

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's proposal, Yao Jianhao promptly accepted the bag. "What is the coverage radius of this formation?" he inquired, the question stemming from the immense scale of the Giant Demon Sect's domain. A limited coverage area would render the formations practically useless.

Zhao Hai offered a smile. "The primary coverage is substantial, and its reach can be amplified. Martial Uncle, you can position the main array on the outermost islands of the Giant Demon Sect. Then, a smaller, supplementary formation can be installed on each island's teleportation array. The blueprints for these subordinate formations are included, allowing your Sect's artisans to construct them. Once fabricated, place these smaller formations on the respective teleportation arrays, and position the mother formation on Giant Demon Island itself. This configuration will enhance the monitoring capabilities. Be advised, however, that the mother formation will only trigger an alert when over a thousand individuals are in transit or when more than two substantial magical artifacts are detected moving. Do you find this acceptable?"

Yao Jianhao responded without hesitation, "Excellent, truly excellent. This is a brilliant strategy. It is decided. I shall commence arrangements immediately. Allow me three days. After this period, the Giant Demon Sect's forces will converge at the designated location. What do you say?"

Zhao Hai nodded, then stated in a firm tone, "Very well, I shall await your three-day mobilization. Martial Uncle, thisJade slip contains the rendezvous point. Review it, and we shall convene again in three days. I shall depart now." With his words, Zhao Hai stood, handed the Jade slip to Yao Jianhao, and then, with a flash of light from a formation that enveloped him, vanished from Yao Jianhao's chamber.

Yao Jianhao examined the Jade slip Zhao Hai had given him. Upon confirming the coordinates, he carefully secured it. He then retrieved the spatial bag containing the mother-child formation and exited the study. He immediately summoned all the Sect's Elders, briefing them on the impending strategy. Distributing the mother-child formation, he instructed them to commence preparations at once. His priority was to establish the mother-child array first, followed by the refinement of the smaller arrays intended for the teleportation arrays, ensuring meticulous execution.

Within the Giant Demon Sect, the majority remained unaware of Zhao Hai and his companions' true identities, viewing the prospect of aiding them with some reluctance. Only Tie Feng seemed to harbor a suspicion, displaying less aversion. Yao Jianhao directly appointed Tie Feng as a lead general, alongside several Island Lord-level experts and a contingent of elite disciples. He informed them of the mission's objective and commanded them to prepare for immediate deployment to assist Zhao Hai and his group.

With the recent war between the Giant Demon Sect and the Corpse Demon Sect concluded, many of their disciples were battle-hardened, allowing for swift and efficient preparations. Soon, the Giant Demon Sect was ready to deploy 2,000 Island Lord level experts and 40,000 disciples to support Zhao Hai and his companions. While this contingent was substantial, it was carefully calculated to avoid jeopardizing the sect's core strength. The loss of these forces would impact the Giant Demon Sect, but not to the point of existential threat. Critical defenses were maintained within their own territory, as Sect Master Yao Jianhao understood the volatile nature of the Blood Sea Realm in recent times. Ensuring the Giant Demon Sect's security was paramount, even with their alliance with the Blood Kill Sect; he would not gamble the entire sect for their allies. This strategic approach did not diminish his willingness to assist Zhao Hai. In fact, the forces dispatched were considered elite, including half of the Giant Demon Sect's most formidable unit, the Giant Demon Axe. This demonstrated Yao Jianhao's utmost commitment. Given the current unrest in the Blood Sea Realm, fielding such a powerful contingent of elites for Zhao Hai was already a significant contribution.
