nZhao Hai didn’t tell the Yin Yang Elders about his entry into the underground world, so the two didn’t know. And since Zhao Hai was back, the Yin Elder was bound to ask.

nTherefore, after giving his greetings, Zhao Hai said, “Masters, actually, I didn’t return from the Long Clan. I’ve been spending my time in the underground world.”

nThe Yin Yang Elders stared, the Yang Elder looked at Zhao Hai and said, “What are you doing in the underground world? I know that you have a spatial ability, but can you casually go to the underground world? Even Diamond Stage experts won’t enter the underground world without thinking. You’re too bold.”

nThe Yin Elder smiled and said, “Alright. Let Little Hai talk.”

nZhao Hai nodded, then he said, “Masters, I was thinking about the face that the sect lost when the Ghost Cultivators attacked us. I wouldn’t be able to calm down if we didn’t retaliate against them. So, I went to the underground world.”

nHearing Zhao Hai, the Yin Yang Elders gave a satisfied nod. Zhao Hai already joined the Long Clan, but he still regarded himself as a Tyrant Blade Sect disciple. This was a very rare trait.

nSeeing the two elders’ reaction, Zhao Hai continued, “After I arrived in the underground world, I took on the identity of a Rogue Cultivator. Then I joined a gang. I have already established myself in that gang. I also found a target. It’s the Water Ghost Sect.”

nUpon hearing this, the Yin Elder couldn’t help but frown as he said, “The Water Ghost Sect isn’t easy to deal with. Their usage of water element techniques is extraordinary. Although there aren’t a lot of them, nobody wanted to confront them.”

nZhao Hai nodded. Then he told the two elders about the information he was able to scrounge up in the last few days. As soon as they heard Zhao Hai, the Yin Yang Elders were shocked. They didn’t think Zhao Hai to have done so much research.

nAfter Zhao Hai was finished, the Yin Elde said, “How do you plan to deal with the Water Ghost Sect?” In the Yin Elder’s mind, Zhao Hai has observed the Water Ghost Sect for a long time, so his plan shouldn’t just be killing one or two Water Ghost Sect disciples. Zhao Hai should be planning something bigger.

nZhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Master, I like to collect plants as a hobby. I happen to collect a special plant that grows very fast. Most importantly, it is a light element plant. It can release light element qi to the surroundings. The Water Ghost Sect depends on the Water Ghost Lake for its defense. If the ghosts in the lake were to be purified, even if we don’t make a move, the Water Ghost Sect will be in a fatal situation.”

nHearing Zhao Hai’s words, the Yin Yang Elders breathed in cold air. Although Zhao Hai’s plan seemed simple, it was an extermination plan. If Zhao Hai’s plan succeeds, the Water Ghost Sect will be wiped off from the underground world.

nThinking of the outcome, the Elders couldn’t hide their excited expressions. The Yin Elder looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Are you confident in your plan?”

nZhao Hai replied, “It will succeed. The plant propagates extremely fast. Each plant can release a hundred thousand seeds in a short time. As long as the seeds germinate, Water Ghost Lake will be filled in it. The Water Ghost Sect wouldn’t be able to respond in time.”

nThe Yang Elder replied, “What happens if the Water Ghost Sect discovers the seeds before they sprout?”

nZhao Hai shook his head and said, “That’s impossible. The seed is too small. Moreover, the more yin qi is around the seed, the faster it will germinate. After growing, it will reach maturity in a short time and produce more seeds. Even if the water ghosts in the lake don’t get wiped out by the time the plants get discovered, there won’t be many ghosts left. Moreover, once the enemy discovers what happened in the lake, they wouldn’t let go of this opportunity to get rid of the Water Ghost Sect. In any case, even if the sect doesn’t get wiped out, our goal of retaliation would be reached.”

nThe Yang Elder nodded, “Good, your plan is good. But you must remember that your life is more important than a thousand of those ghost bastards. You cannot risk exposing yourself, understand?”

nZhao Hai nodded, “Master can rest assured. I know what to do.”

nThe Yang Elder nodded, “Rest here for a few days before returning to the Long Clan. I must say, the Long Clan is really treating you well.”

nZhao Hai smiled and said, “Master, don’t worry. Even if I do well in the Long Clan, I won’t forget that I’m a disciple of the Tyrant Blade Sect.”

nThe Yin Elder replied, “You might not know this, but the Long Clan has arranged people from your realm to various sects through their means. What achievements they will have in the future will depend on their talents. You don’t have to see them. The more you meet them, the more you will be worried. To be honest, the people in your previous realm don’t have much potential. They wouldn’t be able to help you with anything. Moreover, if you let your enemies know about your relationship with them, they would certainly find ways to deal with them.”

nZhao Hai nodded and said, “I will keep that in mind.” The Yin Elder nodded and then waved his hand. Zhao Hai respectfully left.

nWhen Zhao Hai left, the Yin Elder looked at the Yang Elder and said, “Old Yang, do you think that Little Hai’s plan would succeed?”

nThe Yang Elder replied, “It might succeed. After all, we haven’t heard of such a plant before, much less others. If he can succeed, then it would be great for us.”

nThe Yin Elder smiled faintly and said, “Little Hai’s means are formidable. With the kind of person Little Hai is, he wouldn’t carelessly report to us if he isn’t confident. So, I’m optimistic of his success.”

nThe Yang Elder nodded. He couldn’t help but laugh as he said, “If those ghost bastards in the underground world know that Little Hai is about to overturn their world, I wonder what their expression will be.”

nThe Yin Elder also laughed. Although Zhao Hai has yet to make a huge noise in the underground world, the two elders believed that it wouldn’t be long before Zhao Hai turned their heaven and earth upside down.

nIn the following days, Zhao Hai accompanied the Yin Yang Elders in residence number 52. The Yin Yang Elders also advised Zhao Hai about cultivation.

nAlthough Zhao Hai has rich experience, the time he cultivated wasn’t very long compared to the thousands of years of experience that the Yin Yang Elders had. The two elders had a lot of insight into things that Zhao Hai has yet to research.

nAfter staying in the Tyrant Blade Sect for a few days, Zhao Hai returned to the Long Clan. The Long Clan was still the same as the time Zhao Hai left. There were still children practicing in the courtyard. And like Zhao Hai told Long Tian, Laura and the others were better teachers than him. The children’s martial arts were progressing very well.

nAs he stayed in the Long Clan, Zhao Hai chatted several times with Long Tian. Naturally, he didn’t tell him about his plan to retaliate against the Water Ghost Sect. Instead, he only told Long Tian that he had set foot in the underground world and had joined a gang.

nHearing this, Long Tian was naturally surprised. He didn’t expect Zhao Hai to reach this point. But at the same time, he was happy. Now that Zhao Hai has anchored himself in the underground world, it would be more convenient for him to get to know the ghost cultivators. The Long Clan could also get a lot of information from Zhao Hai.

nAfter a few days, Zhao Hai returned to the underground. The first thing he did upon returning to the underground world was releasing seeds in Water Ghost Lake. Zhao Hai stayed for some time to observe how the seeds would adapt to the Water Ghost Lake’s environment. Much to Zhao Hai’s surprise, the moment the seeds touched the lake, they seemed like babies seeing their mother’s breasts. The seeds crazily absorbed the yin qi in the river and nourished themselves.

nSeeing the scene in front of him, Zhao Hai was dumbfounded, then he became elated. From what he could see, the plants were extremely compatible with yin qi. The moment these plants grow, the Water Ghost Sect will be finished.

nNow that the seeds have been spread, Zhao Hai left Water Ghost Lake. Then he immediately returned to the Ghost Child Gang and announced the end of his seclusion.

nZhao Hai chose this time to return because he didn’t want anyone to suspect him. If he went out after the Water Ghost Sect suffered a calamity, then people might have thoughts. Although the possibility of this was very low, Zhao Hai didn’t want to take the risk.

nZhao Hai’s ‘seclusion’ lasted around two months. When he came out, he discovered a huge change to the Ghost Child Gang. There were a lot of new faces in the gang. They should be the newly received disciples of the gang. Moreover, Blood Child City has officially become a branch hall of the Ghost Child Gang.

nIn the underground world, there were huge benefits to holding a city. Even if a war resulted in a lot of losses to the winning side, Red Goblins would still make up the majority of manpower. Therefore, the city could still operate at full strength after a full out war. This was also the reason why two warring sides don’t kill Red Goblins during conflicts. The goblin slaves would allow the winning side to increase their income in a short period of time.

nIt was precisely because of this that cities in the underground world were under constant attacks. Everybody wanted to swallow their neighbors. Getting a hold of another city was equivalent to having another goose that lays golden eggs.
