Chapter 2272: Returning to the Tyrant Blade Sect
Chapter 2272: Returning to the Tyrant Blade Sect
On the transmission formation of Demonheart City, there was a flash of white light before a person appeared. In Demonheart City, not every city has transmission formation. Only the first, second, and third cities have transmission formations, the fourth and fifth city did not.
However, the transmission formation isn’t open to the public. The transmission formation could only be used by the cultivators of the Forbidden Path Sect as well as some powerful gangs in the city.
The transmission formation in the first city isn’t open to the public. Only cultivators from the Forbidden Path Sect as well as members of powerful gangs can use it.
The transmission formations in the second and third city can be used by everyone in Demonheart City. However, most cultivators don’t use the transmission formation, not because they aren’t Forbidden Path Sect disciples, but because they cannot afford to do so. Each use of the transmission formation uses 10 jade essences. Although the amount wasn’t big, it was expensive for rogue cultivators. After all, they can use the jade essences to buy windchasing horses that could service them for more than 10 years. Only when matters are urgent would gangs use transmission formations, otherwise they would just use their mounts.
The person on the transmission formation slowly walked out. He looked ordinary and wore black robes. There was no special point about him.
This person was naturally Zhao Hai. He returned to Demonheart City through the transmission formation installed in Windchase Town’s auction house.
Since it would still take some time before the Forbidden Path Sect opens its gates, Zhao Hai didn’t tell anyone of his return to Demonheart City. He returned to Demonheart City using a different appearance. He believed that nobody would notice him. Everyone knew that Zhao Hai was in seclusion in Windchase Town.
Zhao Hai wasn’t planning on returning to the Blood Knife Gang for now. He knew how many eyes were currently staring at the gang. Although the gang was already warned by Ling Dong, troubles will still come if Zhao Hai appears. Therefore, Zhao Hai was thinking of going to the Abundance Hall instead.
The Abundance Hall was a business of the Long Clan. But the Long Clan has no interest in the Demon Blood Realm. And with the special status of the Long Clan, Zhao Hai should be safe in Demonheart City. Nobody would dare provoke them.
The Abundance Hall was still the same bustling building that Zhao Hai knew. Because the Forbidden Path Sect wanted to open its gates, rogue cultivators began arriving in the city looking for opportunities. Therefore, there were now more people in the city than before. And with an increase in population comes an increase in demand. And with the Abundance Hall’s stellar reputation, it was natural that its business would increase.
And because of the influx of people to Demonheart City, the fifth city, which was sparsely populated before, was now almost full.
At this time, the members of the Blood Knife Gang understood how clever they were in choosing the location of their new headquarters. Although the place was remote, nobody paid attention to it. This made the gang safe despite the increase of people.
Lately, there had been several battles in Demonheart City because of territory. Some gangs stronger than the Blood Knife Gang have already been erased.
Naturally, Demonheart City forbade any violence. Therefore, conflicts between groups of people were settled outside. Even so, there were plenty of smaller gangs that had been expelled from their territories and had to settle outside Demonheart City.
It can be said that the opening of the sect’s gates has reshuffled the power structure of Demonheart City. There were plenty of old but weak powers that had been forced to withdraw from the city.
The Blood Knife Gang didn’t suffer any of these fates. Because of their location, nobody paid attention to them. Naturally, it was impossible for the gang to survive purely because of this. They were also backed by the Abundance Hall as well as Ling Dong’s word. Ling Dong had a few inner disciples in his circle. With their help, nobody dared cause any trouble to the Blood Knife Gang.
Since there were no problems with the Blood Knife Gang, Zhao Hai chose to not worry about them. He was confident that they could survive with their strength.
Just as Zhao Hai entered the doors of the Abundance Hall, a shop assistant welcomed him. Naturally, the assistant didn’t know who Zhao Hai was. He greeted Zhao Hai like the others as he bowed and said, “Welcome to the Abundance Hall. May I know how I can help you?”
Zhao Hai looked at the shop assistant and then smiled faintly, “I have a few items I want to trade. But I have to ask your shopkeeper to see them.”
The assistant stared at Zhao Hai for a moment, then he immediately said, “Alright. Mister, please wait in the other room while I call the shopkeeper.” Zhao Hai nodded and was then escorted to a waiting room. After offering tea to Zhao Hai, the assistant left the room, presumably going to fetch Shopkeeper Yun.
Before long, Shopkeeper Yun arrived at the waiting room. Seeing Zhao Hai, he couldn’t help but show a confused expression. He saw that Zhao Hai looked familiar, but he couldn’t pin who it was. This caused him to doubt.
Although he was confused, Shopkeeper Yun made a small bow and said, “Might I know what items Mister wants to trade? I’m the shopkeeper of the Abundance Hall.”
Zhao Hai looked at the shop assistant and then to Shopkeeper Yun, “Shopkeeper, I have to ask your assistant to leave the room. I want to speak with you privately.”
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Yun’s eyes narrowed. This person knew that his name was Yun. This meant that he knew him. However, he just couldn’t remember who Zhao Hai was. After all, Shopkeeper Yun was very confident in his memory. Ŗ𝙖ΝổβÈ𝙨
After Shopkeeper Yun waved his hand, the shop assistant left. Once they were alone, Shopkeeper Yun looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Mister, can you tell me what you want to trade now?”
Zhao Hai smiled at Shopkeeper Yun before his figure underwent a subtle change. His face also changed form. Before long, Zhao Hai’s true image appeared in front of Shopkeeper Yun. Then he cupped his fist and said, “I hope Shopkeeper Yun can forgive me. I didn’t want anyone to know that I’ve returned, so I disguised myself.”
Seeing that it was Zhao Hai, Shopkeeper Yun couldn’t help but be surprised. Then he happily smiled and said, “Little Hai, it’s you. Haha. What do you mean forgive? I’m happy that you’re back. I heard that you managed to obtain a Bloodless Command Token, is that true?”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Yes, I managed to get it at an auction. But because of my special status, I can only become an official disciple once the sect opens its gates. I can’t return to the Blood Knife Gang right now because of the eyes staring at it.”
Shopkeeper Yun nodded, “That’s a good decision. If you don’t want to go back, then don’t go back. What do you plan to do now?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “I came here hoping that you can arrange a place for me. I want to go into seclusion for some time. Then once the Forbidden Path Sect opens its gates, I’ll head over.”
Shopkeeper Yun smiled and said, “Not a problem. I’ll arrange a room for you immediately.” Zhao Hai cupped his fist and then turned on his disguise. Seeing Zhao Hai’s face change, Shopkeeper Yun couldn’t hide his surprise.
Sitting in the room arranged by Shopkeeper Yun, Zhao Hai informed the shopkeeper that he would go into seclusion. Then he arranged formations in the room before returning to the Tyrant Blade Sect.
The Tyrant Blade Sect was doing pretty well. The Tyrant Blade Sect was able to recruit more disciples than the Forbidden Path Sect. Even Yanyue Peak has newly moved-in disciples.
In the past, Yanyue Peak has almost been abandoned. It was only when Zhao Hai moved in did the peak slowly gain a bit of vitality. Afterwards, more and more people moved in. Since the peak had been abandoned for a long time, it didn’t have the means to house disciples compared to other peaks.
However, now that the Tyrant Blade Sect has opened its gates to receive disciples, Yanyue Peak gained attention and was repaired. Right now, rookie disciples were sent to the peak to stay. This made the peak’s population no less than the other peaks.
Despite the peak’s increase in population, Zhao Hai’s courtyard was still relatively empty. This was because the Yin-Yang Elders were living there. The two elders have now assumed control over the peak. With such elders present, it was impossible for the sect to send disciples to Courtyard Number 52.
When Zhao Hai returned to his courtyard, the two elders immediately felt his presence and went to meet him. Seeing Zhao Hai, the Yin Elder smiled and said, “Good, good. You broke through to the Earth Monarch Stage. It seems like you haven’t been lazy.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “I won’t dare to be lazy. Master, I managed to get a lucky encounter that helped me break through. Moreover, I feel like I haven’t reached my full potential, so I returned to the sect to inquire.”
The Yin Elder nodded, “Let’s head inside.” Then the three went to the living room to sit down.
After a robot offered tea, the Yin Elder looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Tell us what you’ve been up to.”
Zhao Hai nodded. He told the two elders about acquiring a Bloodless Command Token and then recounted his experience in Gale Canyon. He also told them about Sacred Elephant Mountain and absorbing the blood qi inside.
After listening to Zhao Hai, the two elders couldn’t help but sigh at his luck. The Yin Elder looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Don’t you need to go into seclusion to absorb the blood qi? Doing that would be better for you.”
Zhao Hai replied, “I came back this time to report to you. Later, I’ll return to Demonheart Mountain to go into seclusion before joining the Forbidden Path Sect. The Forbidden Path Sect is famous for Body Cultivation. I can use their resources to digest the blood qi from the Sacred Elephant Mountain. When the time comes, my body will be several times stronger than body cultivators. Perhaps I might become a favored disciple of the Forbidden Path Sect.”
Hearing Zhao Hai, the Yin Elder couldn’t help but smile, “It’s good that you have a plan. We won’t stop you. But remember to not go too far in your actions in the Forbidden Path Sect. After all, they are a Great Sect of the True Spirit Realm. They can also resist the Ghost Cultivators.”
