Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8657: Visiting _1

Zhao Hai made his way back to the Giant Demon Sect. This time, he chose not to materialize directly inside Yao Jianhao's study. With their identities now public knowledge, he arrived as the Sect Master of the Blood Slaughter Sect, a visit that demanded considerable formality. Zhao Hai, however, had not brought a large entourage. Besides himself, only a handful of members from the Undead race accompanied him. Notably, one individual stood by Zhao Hai's side: Cheng Wanchun.

Cheng Wanchun had attained the Dharma-Opening realm and possessed exceptional skills as a weapon refiner. As Zhao Hai's disciple, he was brought along. Cheng Wanchun, a former independent cultivator, carried himself with a remarkable composure. Zhao Hai held him in high regard and wished to nurture his potential, hence his decision to have Cheng Wanchun accompany him.

Their group numbered ten in total. The moment they appeared on the Giant Demon Sect's teleportation plaza, they were greeted by Yao Jianhao and several esteemed elders of the sect. Upon sighting Zhao Hai and his companions, Yao Jianhao promptly approached, clasped his fists in greeting, and declared with a laugh, "Sect Master Zhao, it is an honor for our Giant Demon Sect to host you." Despite Zhao Hai being younger in generation, he now led a sect. Furthermore, the Blood Slaughter Sect appeared to possess greater might than their own, compelling Yao Jianhao to show due respect. Though they had met several times before, Zhao Hai had always been exceedingly polite. The circumstances, however, were drastically different now. Previously, Zhao Hai and his group had to conceal their true identities. Now, having openly declared themselves in the Blood Sea Realm and with the Blood Slaughter Sect's evident superiority, Yao Jianhao could not afford to maintain his former casual demeanor, lest Zhao Hai harbor any resentment.

Upon seeing Yao Jianhao, Zhao Hai swiftly returned the gesture, clasping his fists and stating in a deep tone, "Greetings, Martial Uncle Yao. Martial Uncle, you are too kind. Our Blood Slaughter Sect and the Giant Demon Sect have long enjoyed a cordial relationship, always standing as steadfast allies. You are also of a senior generation, so how could I permit you to come and greet me? It is truly too much."

Cheng Wanchun offered his salutations to Yao Jianhao as well. The same courtesy was extended by the Undead contingent. Clad in the uniforms of the Blood Slaughter Sect, their true nature remained concealed. To any observer, they appeared as mere disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect, and were thus afforded little special notice. No one suspected their origin from the Undead clan.

Observing Zhao Hai's continued respectful demeanor, Yao Jianhao's happiness grew. He chuckled, "Hahaha, excellent. Then I shall dispense with formalities. I shall continue to call you Little Hai, and you may address me as Uncle Yao. There is no need for such stiff honorifics; they sound rather peculiar. Come, you are acquainted with these elders, so I shall not be overly ceremonial. Let us proceed inside for a few drinks to welcome you." Yao Jianhao, known for his forthright nature and aversion to trivialities, wasted no further pleasantries. He took Zhao Hai by the hand and led him into the island.

Zhao Hai offered no resistance, allowing Yao Jianhao to hold his arm. He simply nodded, acknowledging the other elders present. These elders bowed respectfully to Zhao Hai, their gazes filled with curiosity. They had all heard tales of Zhao Hai, recognizing his past renown. However, that fame had been as a mere true disciple of the Blood Slaughter Sect. Now, Zhao Hai stood as its Sect Master, an apex expert within the Blood Sea Realm. The rapid transformation astounded them; it had been but a few short years.

Ever since Zhao Hai's decisive victory against the Yin Yang warrior and his subsequent elimination of the Great Elder of the Rahu Sect, his name had become synonymous with prominence throughout the Blood Sea Realm. He was now unequivocally counted among its most formidable cultivators. His strength alone warranted the grand welcome extended by the Giant Demon Sect.

After the exchange of greetings, the assembled group proceeded to the main hall of the Giant Demon Sect. Numerous smaller tables were arranged within the hall, with a raised platform at its center featuring two elevated tables. Yao Jianhao guided Zhao Hai to this platform, indicating for them to be seated. Although surprised by this arrangement, Zhao Hai did not demur and took his seat.

Disciples from the formidable Giant Demon Sect soon presented food and wine. Though cultivators in the Blood Sea realm typically forgo sustenance, a grand establishment like the Giant Demon Sect cultivated its own spiritual plants, yielding produce suitable for consumption. However, these delicacies were reserved for the sect's elite, remaining unseen by ordinary disciples.

Once the feast was laid out, Yao Jianhao lifted his goblet, addressing the assembly. "Esteemed friends, let us raise our glasses to welcome Little Hai and celebrate the triumphant re-establishment of the Blood Slaughter Sect. We are all aware of the recent calamity that befell this sect, and we recognize the hardships Little Hai and his followers have endured. Yet, they have risen once more, a cause for great joy. Come, let us drink!"

His words, devoid of superfluous pleasantries, underscored the undeniable bond between their sects and his genuine camaraderie with Zhao Hai. While his address was refreshingly candid, it deeply resonated with the attendees. Having witnessed the trials of the Blood Slaughter Sect and appreciating the immense effort behind its current standing, everyone enthusiastically raised their glasses in a toast to Zhao Hai, their cheers echoing loudly.

Zhao Hai readily reciprocated, raising his own glass and draining its contents. As his cup was refilled, he turned to the Giant Demon Sect members. "The Giant Demon Sect and the Blood Slaughter Sect have shared a bond of friendship for generations. The Giant Demon Sect has consistently been our most steadfast ally, and we shall never forget your invaluable assistance. May the friendship between our two sects continue to flourish for ages to come. Cheers to our enduring alliance!"

"Cheers!" The acclaim was immediate as the goblets clinked once more, their contents swiftly consumed. The banquet then commenced in earnest, filled with hearty eating and drinking, fostering an atmosphere of shared merriment. Despite the humble fare, Zhao Hai partook generously, engaging in lively conversation with Yao Jianhao throughout the meal.

Following the banquet's conclusion, Zhao Hai and Yao Jianhao retired to the study, accompanied by several esteemed elders of the Giant Demon Sect, Tie Feng among them. Tie Feng, having previously joined forces with Zhao Hai to dismantle the Yin Yang Sect, now held profound respect for Zhao Hai's capabilities, impressed by his prowess.

Zhao Hai, characteristically generous, had ensured Tie Feng and the others were amply rewarded for their past involvement. He had bestowed upon them a considerable portion of the resources seized from the Yin Yang Sect, a gesture that cemented the strong rapport between Tie Feng and Zhao Hai.

Seated in the study, Yao Jianhao requested tea and then inquired of Zhao Hai, "Little Hai, having just annihilated the Yin Yang Sect, you must be inundated with matters to attend to. What brings you to our humble abode at this juncture? Are you concerned about the Corpse Demon Sect?"

Yao Jianhao was fully cognizant of the Corpse Demon Sect's recent resurgence and their widespread activities, prompting his direct question. He surmised that Zhao Hai's visit was primarily motivated by this threat, given its direct implications for the future security of both their sects. Indeed, Yao Jianhao had been contemplating a meeting with Zhao Hai to discuss this very issue, recognizing its paramount importance to their shared future.

Zhao Hai replied with a knowing smile, "While the Corpse Demon Sect is indeed a concern, my primary purpose for visiting is different. It pertains to a new endeavor for cooperation between our sects. Venerable Uncle-Master, I intend to establish two colossal formations to safeguard the territories formerly belonging to the Yin Yang Sect and the Yin Ghost Sect. These formations will utilize key islands within these territories as nodes, and each island's defensive measures will be enhanced, mirroring the existing formations of the Blood Slaughter Sect. Subsequently, we will ingeniously link these two grand formations, creating a potent Yin-Yang array. My main objective in seeking you out is to ascertain if the Giant Demon Sect is amenable to a similar arrangement. Should you agree, we can extend our assistance in setting up such a formation for your sect. By interconnecting these three immense formations, we can forge an unparalleled Three Talents array, thereby significantly bolstering the security of all our realms."

Zhao Hai’s declaration left Yao Jianhao and the others utterly speechless. They regarded him with disbelief, their gazes fixed on him. After a moment, Yao Jianhao, finding his voice, addressed Zhao Hai. "Little Hai, are you proposing to erect a grand formation encompassing the entire oceanic expanse of our Giant Demon Sect? Furthermore, you intend to connect this monumental magical formation with the two colossal formations already established at the Yin Yang Sect and the Yin Ghost Sect, thereby forging a colossal Three Talents Formation? Is such a feat even conceivable?"

Zhao Hai responded with a smile. "Rest assured, it is entirely feasible. In fact, the Yin Yang Sect and the Yin Ghost Sect have already commenced the construction of similar grand arrays. I am confident they will reach completion in short order. Should the Giant Demon Sect wish to implement this array as well, we can dispatch our personnel immediately to assist in its establishment. While I cannot guarantee absolute precision, it should be operational within approximately one month. Naturally, the existing defensive arrays on the Giant Demon Sect’s islands will necessitate modifications. Upon completion of these alterations, the defensive capabilities of the Giant Demon Sect’s islands will undoubtedly be amplified. However, this decision ultimately rests with you, Martial Uncle. It is important to note that the modification of defensive arrays is a considerable undertaking."

Yao Jianhao gazed at Zhao Hai, a broad smile suddenly gracing his face. "Excellent, excellent young man! I wholeheartedly approve your proposal. Modifying an array? It’s a task I’m familiar with. I’m aware of the defensive formations employed by the Bloody Massacre Sect. Were it not for the intervention of powerful entities from the upper realm, no one could have breached the defenses of their island. Now that you are proactively offering to enhance our formations, I have no grounds for refusal. However, I must commend your sheer magnanimity. To offer this service across tens of thousands of islands – truly astonishing! Remarkable, truly remarkable!"
