Chapter 8650: Annihilate the Enemy (1)

Yao Jianhao gazed at the array board before him for an extended period. "I truly didn't anticipate that Little Hai would be correct. The enemy has indeed arrived. Excellent! Do they genuinely believe our Giant Demon Sect is weak?" His countenance darkened considerably as he spoke, his voice deep. "Pass down my command. Muster everyone and surround them. Not a single one shall escape. Little Hai and the others should be at the Dark Ghost Sect's location now, engaging those individuals. I wish to see who dares to oppose Little Hai and his companions."

"Yes!" a voice immediately responded before turning to depart. The individual who pledged his obedience to Yao Jianhao was none other than Zhao Wuji. Initially, Zhao Wuji had intended to accompany Tie Feng, but Yao Jianhao had refused. He had retained Zhao Wuji by his side specifically because the latter was privy to Zhao Hai's true identity. Believing Zhao Wuji to be more trustworthy for his purposes, Yao Jianhao had designated him as a messenger disciple.

The Big Dipper Mother-Child Formation, which Zhao Hai had constructed for them, had also proven effective. Yao Jianhao had already observed a red dot appearing on the formation's display. This red dot was rapidly converging on one of the Giant Demon Sect's islands. Yao Jianhao instantly grasped that the enemy had arrived. Consequently, he did not hesitate, dispatching Zhao Wuji directly with the order. He intended to personally confront the approaching forces and ascertain their identity.

In truth, ever since Tie Feng and the others had departed, the Giant Demon Sect had maintained a state of high alert. They were acutely aware that the enemy might indeed target them. Even if the enemy remained ignorant of Zhao Hai's true role, they could still seek to attack. Their prior collaboration with the Ghost Shadow Group was sufficient cause for the enemy to target them. Furthermore, even if the enemy harbored no direct ill will towards the Giant Demon Sect, they might seek to sow discord within the sect, thus preventing the Giant Demon Sect from interfering in other matters.

However, their adversaries had likely underestimated their preparedness. Yao Jianhao had already decreed that all Island Lord-level cultivators were to remain on standby. Upon receiving his signal, they were to converge on the designated location with utmost speed. Any deviation from this order would result in severe punishment according to the sect's regulations. As a result, no one within the Giant Demon Sect dared to act recklessly.

Upon Zhao Wuji's return with the orders, Yao Jianhao immediately led Zhao Wuji and a select group of other Giant Demon Sect cultivators out of the teleportation array. A flash of white light enveloped them, and they vanished. The span of time from Yao Jianhao and his companions discovering the enemy's presence to their departure was less than an hour, a testament to their swift action.

By the time Yao Jianhao and his contingent reached the island under attack, the enemy had yet to materialize. It was evident that the attackers did not perceive the assault on the Giant Demon Sect as a primary objective. Their intention seemed to be merely to create a diversion, preventing the Giant Demon Sect from focusing on other affairs, hence their unhurried approach.

Observing the enemy's continued absence, Yao Jianhao promptly led his forces away from the island, establishing an ambush perimeter outside its borders to await their arrival. This strategic maneuver required nearly another hour. Once all preparations were complete, they waited with a measure of calm for the enemy's approach. Yao Jianhao estimated their arrival time to be approximately one hour hence, thus necessitating only that waiting period.

Indeed, an hour later, several colossal black shapes traversed the blood sea. These were enormous ritual implements, dark and shuttle-shaped. Only the Rahu Sect was known to possess such grand artifacts, a fact universally acknowledged within the Blood Sea Realm. Yao Jianhao, too, was aware of this, and upon sighting these immense vessels, he immediately identified them as belonging to the Rahu Sect.

This revelation caused Yao Jianhao's expression to turn exceedingly grim. He had not anticipated the Rahu Sect's involvement in this affair. The Rahu Sect was not to be underestimated. Nevertheless, Yao Jianhao harbored no fear, only a profound surprise that the Rahu Sect, typically detached from worldly conflicts, would entangle itself in such a situation.

The disciples of the Rahu sect soon arrived at the edge of the island and halted, followed by a multitude of their brethren who immediately formed ranks, poised for an imminent assault. Witnessing this formation, Yao Jianhao let out a derisive laugh before gesturing, causing the disciples of the Giant Demon sect to swiftly encircle their rivals.

Possessing a short fuse, Yao Jianhao had no intention of waiting for the Rahu sect to initiate their attack on the island. The moment they appeared, he ordered his forces to surround them. The Rahu sect members took notice and realized they were trapped. However, they quickly ascended from the blood sea, with Yao Jianhao and his contingent in close pursuit. Engaging in combat within the blood sea was deemed impractical, as prolonged exposure to its miasma could adversely affect their bodies.

Once all combatants had exited the blood sea, Yao Jianhao addressed the Rahu sect disciples in a grave tone. "I never imagined the Rahu sect, known for its aloofness from external conflicts, would launch an assault on my Giant Demon sect. I am profoundly curious as to the motive behind your sect's aggression towards us!"

A representative from the Rahu sect regarded Yao Jianhao and declared, "Yao Jianhao, you possess considerable skill. We underestimated your ability to track us so rapidly. Yet, your efforts are in vain, as we have likely already eradicated the Ghost Shadow group, rendering your intervention inconsequential."

Yao Jianhao scrutinized the Rahu sect members and responded, "It appears you anticipated our support for the Ghost Shadow group? Your evident confidence is quite striking." Yao Jianhao, genuinely perplexed by their assurance, sought to understand its source.

The Rahu sect member replied in a deep voice, "You believe we are unaware?" He continued, "Previously, the Ghost Shadow group appeared to assist the Dark Ghost sect against a traitor, but in truth, they manipulated the Dark Ghost sect through their own insidious means. Given the Ghost Shadow group's past assistance to your sect, it is plausible you too have fallen under their influence. Therefore, our decision to confront you is entirely justified."

Upon hearing this, Yao Jianhao chuckled and retorted, "Fascinating. You intend to challenge my Giant Demon sect based on such flimsy grounds? Is the Rahu sect not overstepping its bounds? Who do you presume yourselves to be? Today, I shall ascertain the true strength of your Rahu sect." With a fierce yell of "Kill!", Yao Jianhao charged towards the Rahu sect forces.

The Rahu sect members met the charge without hesitation. Both sides engaged in a fierce clash, but the Rahu sect found itself at a significant disadvantage. Their forces were few, as their objective was merely to distract the Giant Demon sect, preventing them from aiding Zhao Hai and his allies. Despite being elite cultivators, they were outnumbered and could not withstand the full might of the Giant Demon sect's assault, especially with Yao Jianhao himself leading the charge.

Two hours later, the battle concluded. Yao Jianhao, after ordering the cleanup of the battlefield, led his contingent back to Troll Island. He then penned a letter to Zhao Hai, detailing the events that transpired. As Zhao Hai was still engaged in his own conflict and had not yet responded, Yao Jianhao grew increasingly anxious. He promptly contacted Tie Feng, requesting an assessment of any unusual behavior among the members of the Blood Slaughtering Sect who were accompanying Tie Feng's group.

Tie Feng's report confirmed that these individuals exhibited no abnormal reactions, which provided Yao Jianhao some measure of relief. He continued to monitor Zhao Hai's progress and, upon learning that Zhao Hai and his allies were about to reveal their identities, rejoiced but also harbored a degree of apprehension.

News of the Blood Slaughtering Sect's resurgence quickly permeated the entire Blood Sea Realm. Concurrently, reports surfaced of the Dark Ghost Sect's allegiance to the Blood Slaughtering Sect. This revelation sent shockwaves throughout the realm, yet it simultaneously invigorated the members of the Giant Demon Sect. The elders of the Giant Demon Sect now understood the profundity of Yao Jianhao's unwavering support for the Ghost Shadow group.

Yao Jianhao summoned all the sect elders to his private chambers. Once they had all assembled, Yao Jianhao addressed them with a smile. "I trust you have all been apprised of the Blood Massacre Sect's resurgence into the martial world? Furthermore, they achieved something remarkable by absorbing the Dark Ghost Sect in its entirety. You see, the Blood Massacre Sect operated under the guise of the Ghost Shadow Group to obscure their true nature. However, the current Sect Master of the Blood Massacre Sect, Zhao Hai, revealed his genuine identity when we first encountered each other. This is why I offered my assistance. Their true affiliation is of immense importance, and thus, I have kept it from everyone until now. I implore you all not to harbor any resentment over this matter.

The elders collectively declared they wouldn't dare, yet one elder ventured to inquire, "Sect Master, are you asserting that the current leader of the Blood Massacre Sect is indeed Zhao Hai? The very same Zhao Hai who claimed the top position among the Blood Sea Realm's direct disciples? What is the extent of his current power?" This query was paramount to them. They considered themselves the Blood Massacre Sect's most unwavering allies, and the weakness of such an ally would offer no benefit.

Upon hearing this, Yao Jianhao chuckled. "You need not fret about his capabilities. Zhao Hai's cultivation now rivals my own, and the Blood Kill Sect possesses formidable strength. Ah, perhaps you are unaware of another of the Blood Kill Sect's identities – they are the Ghostwind Bandits. It so happened that during a sect mission, Zhao Hai stumbled upon the Ghostwind Bandits' legacy. He subsequently assumed their mantle. When the Blood Kill Sect encountered difficulties, he was conveniently away from the sect. Consequently, he remained unaffected, and no one suspected his connection to the Blood Slaughter Sect; he was secure in his anonymity. Thereafter, he rallied the remaining survivors of the Blood Slaughter Sect. Coupled with their own expansion over the years, the Blood Slaughter Sect has achieved its current standing. From this day forward, we shall remain the Blood Slaughter Sect's most steadfast allies!"

A resounding chorus of affirmation met Yao Jianhao's declaration. Not a single elder voiced any objection to his pronouncements.
