Jiang Shenglin and others agreed to join the Sword of Glory Alliance after learning they could not return. The twin brothers, Lu Ming and Lu Liang, also wanted to join but got into a petty argument about who was older, which Han Feng quickly shut down. Zhao Hai later discovered the teleportation formation had been used, and Lu Ming and Lu Liang were gone, revealing they were spies sent to monitor the group. Zhao Hai and Han Feng realized their plans were exposed and decided to prepare for a confrontation with the higher-ups, with the rest of the group vowing to fight to the death.

Zhao Hai had calmed down by now. He thought about what the Lu brothers had done and felt that things might not be that bad. Thus, he waited for everyone to calm down before he said, " &Quot; I don’t think it’s as bad as everyone thinks. Everyone, sit down and listen to me. &Quot;

Everyone was stunned when they heard Zhao Hai’s words. Then, they looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. One should know that Zhao Hai’s position in the sword unit was not low. Everyone knew that he was very strong and his refining skills were also very strong. It could be said that his prestige in the sword unit was even close to Han Feng’s. Therefore, when they heard Zhao Hai’s words, they were all stunned. However, no one said anything. They all sat down and wanted to hear what Zhao Hai had to say.

Zhao Hai looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, " &Quot; although the Lu Ming brothers were sent by the higher-ups to monitor us, I can tell from their strength that they should have just ascended. They are not very strong. If that is the case, then when they go back, they probably won’t tell the truth. They might even give some discount and not report our situation completely, because it will not benefit them. &Quot;

Everyone was stunned by Zhao Hai’s words. They didn’t understand what he meant. Only Jiang shenglin’s eyes lit up when he heard Zhao Hai’s words. At the same time, the way he looked at Zhao Hai changed. He realized that Zhao Hai was too meticulous. If it wasn’t for Zhao Hai’s reminder, he wouldn’t have thought of this. However, Zhao Hai had thought of this long ago. It showed how terrifying Zhao Hai was.

Zhao Hai glanced at Jiang shenglin from the corner of his eye. He didn’t say anything, but continued, " "If the two of them, Lu Ming, report the situation of our sharp sword camp truthfully, it will definitely attract the attention of those people in the upper realm. If I don’t stand on ceremony, I think I’m one of the top few in their sects with my ability in arrays and refining weapons, right? Then how will those people from the upper realm treat me? I reckon that they’ll immediately transfer me away. They might even let me ascend directly and join their sect. "

Upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Han Feng and the rest understood what he meant. Han Feng looked at Zhao Hai and said, " "You mean, if they report your situation, then those people in the upper realm will let you ascend directly and you will become a member of those sects. But if you really ascend, then you might deal with them? If they really did that, it would be equivalent to helping you ascend. You should be thanking them, right?"

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, " &Quot; if they really tell everything to the people from the upper realm, I may be fine, but brothers, you’ll be in danger. I’m afraid those people from the upper realm will deal with you. In that case, it’s equivalent to them becoming enemies with me. Because they betrayed us, I may deal with them when the time comes. Even if there’s only this possibility, they definitely won’t take the risk, so they probably won’t report this matter in full. &Quot;

"But if they really don’t report this matter in full, then won’t the higher-ups come after us even more? They don’t know your abilities, so they won’t have any scruples when dealing with us." Han Feng frowned. He agreed with Zhao Hai’s words, but he still couldn’t understand why Zhao Hai would say that things weren’t that bad.

Zhao Hai smiled and turned to look at Jiang shenglin. He said, " "I think fellow Daoist Jiang has already understood what I mean. Why don’t I let fellow Daoist Jiang explain it to you, Alliance master? what do you think, fellow Daoist Jiang?" Zhao Hai looked at Jiang shenglin with a smile, but Jiang shenglin felt a chill down his spine.

He immediately understood Zhao Hai’s intention. He had arrived at the sharp sword camp later than Lu Ming and Lu Liang, so he was also very suspicious. Therefore, Zhao Hai was testing him to see what kind of attitude he had. He knew that he had to make his attitude clear.

Therefore, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, " &Quot; that’s right, I almost understand what you mean, fellow Daoist Zhao Hai. Lu Ming and the other one wouldn’t dare to report the entire situation here, but they would probably report the fact that we’ve established the sword of brilliance Alliance. When the people in the upper realm receive this news, they will think of dealing with us, but there are many ways to do so. They don’t need to do it themselves. They can completely ignore us, just seal our teleportation array, and not give us much help. At that time, the people from the Shadow Realm will help them deal with us, and they don’t need to do it themselves."

Zhao Hai nodded, " &Quot; that’s right, those people from the upper realm are likely to do so because leaving us here won’t affect them too much. They only need to seal the transmission array and not let us enter their line of defense. Then, we won’t be a threat to them. As long as we’re here, we can help them attract the attack of the Shadow Realm. This is beneficial to them instead, so they don’t need to deal with us at all. The people of the Shadow Realm will naturally come to deal with us. They have given up on us, but the people of the Shadow Realm don’t know about it, so they will naturally deal with us."

At this point, Zhao Hai paused for a moment. Then, he looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, " &Quot; that’s why I said the situation isn’t that bad. If Lu Ming and his brother are really smart, they won’t report the situation here to the higher-ups. In that case, we don’t have to worry about the people above attacking us. In fact, we can destroy the teleportation array directly now. In this way, we don’t have to worry about those people coming to attack us because they can’t come through the teleportation array. We’re basically isolating ourselves, but since that’s the best-case scenario, I think we should do that."

Han Feng turned to look at the crowd and said in a deep voice, " "Zhao Hai is right. I think we should do that too. What do you guys think?" Han Feng felt that what Zhao Hai said made sense. However, they were all members of the sharp sword Alliance, and as the leader, he couldn’t act arbitrarily. He had to seek everyone’s opinion.

Everyone nodded, rolled their eyes, and said in a deep voice, " "I agree with this. Rather than taking the risk of those bastards coming after us, we might as well destroy the teleportation formation. The situation is pretty much the same anyway. If we destroy the teleportation formation and they still come after us, then I really have nothing else to say."

Everyone nodded. Han Feng turned to Jiang shenglin and said, " "Old Jiang, go and destroy the teleportation formation." Han Feng’s words stunned everyone. Zhao Hai couldn’t help but turn around and look at Han Feng. All along, he had thought that Han Feng wasn’t very smart, but judging from this incident, Han Feng was still very smart. This was a test for Jiang shenglin, and at the same time, it was also an explanation for Zhao Hai. Han Feng must have noticed that Zhao Hai was still suspicious of Jiang shenglin, so he asked Jiang shenglin to destroy the teleportation formation. If Jiang shenglin did that, it meant that he was fine. If he was really a traitor, he wouldn’t have destroyed the teleportation array. If he did, he wouldn’t be able to leave through the teleportation array, and he would have to follow them.

Jiang shenglin obviously understood Han Feng’s intention. He stood up without hesitation and nodded,"Alright, leave it to me." After saying that, he moved and went straight to the teleportation formation. Zhao Hai and the others didn’t move. They knew very well that if Jiang shenglin was really a mole, he would take the opportunity to leave. However, they didn’t want to follow and monitor him because they didn’t want Jiang shenglin’s life. At least, they didn’t want to kill him now.

Jiang shenglin and Han Feng were good friends. Even if it was to give Han Feng face, they wouldn’t kill Jiang shenglin, at least not this time. Moreover, if Jiang shenglin was really a spy and was killed by them, the people from the upper realm would be very upset. They might really come to deal with them, which was not what they wanted to see. Of course, the most important thing was that Jiang shenglin was also an immortal. Even if he was really a spy, he was forced by the people from the upper realm. They had done their best to let him go this time.

With a loud bang, Jiang shenglin’s figure quickly returned to the crowd. Han Feng couldn’t help but smile when he saw Jiang shenglin. When Jiang shenglin landed on the ground, Han Feng laughed and said, &Quot; good, old Jiang, that’s great. I don’t think you’re my good friend. We had no choice, so please don’t take it to heart. &Quot;

Jiang shenglin shook his head and sighed, " "I don’t blame you. To be honest, if it were me, I would do the same. I might even kill people without distinguishing right from wrong. Alright, we’re brothers now. We’re ants on the same line."

Everyone chuckled. Zhao Hai looked at them and continued, " "Although we’re temporarily safe, it’ll be difficult for everyone to ascend in the future. You won’t blame me, right?" Zhao Hai had to make things clear to everyone so that they wouldn’t blame him in the future. It wouldn’t be good then.

Everyone was stunned when they heard Zhao Hai’s words. Then, their expressions changed. They were all cultivators, and the purpose of their Ascension was to live forever. But now, they had come to the black and white battlefield, which meant that they had not truly ascended. However, this meant that they had cut off their path of Ascension. How could their expressions look good? so, everyone fell silent. No one spoke.

After a long while, Han Feng sighed and said, " &Quot; Zhao Hai, you’re not to blame for this, because it’s not your fault at all. Although I don’t know why the people from the upper realm sent Lu Ming and his brother to monitor us, it’s obvious that they don’t trust us. That’s why they did it. What we’re doing now is just to protect ourselves. If we can’t protect our lives, there’s no point in talking about Ascension. How many of our brothers do you think still have the chance to ascend? even I think it’s impossible, so this matter really can’t be blamed on you. Don’t think too much."
