Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Sea Beast Heavenly Island, within the Second Holy Land.

Wang Donghai sat upright on the high platform, his eyes fixed on the distant clouds.

At this moment, one of his subordinates hurriedly delivered the message.

"Second Elder, this is a message sent back by our spies who were planted next to Zhao De."

"Um?"

Wang Donghai slowly opened his eyes, reached out and inhaled, and the communication jade slip immediately appeared in his hand.

"Who dares to attack the sacred ground of my Sea Beast Heavenly Island?"

The subordinate said, "If I'm not mistaken, this group must have been secretly sent by the Third Elder recently."

"The Third Elder's attacks have become even more intense, and the Third Elder himself sometimes appears on the battlefield, making the situation very unfavorable for us."

Wang Donghai instantly flew into a rage, and the aura he unleashed sent the man flying.

The subordinate coughed up blood, but dared not harbor the slightest resentment. He could only kneel down immediately and obey Wang Donghai's judgment.

After venting his anger, Wang Donghai gradually calmed down.

A sinister killing intent also appeared in his eyes.

"Several towns in Chenping have actually set their sights on my holy land!"

"Fine, since you dared to come this time, I'll make sure your men die a horrible death!"

The subordinate trembled as he said, "Second Elder, there is another person who suddenly came here today, saying that he has something important to tell you."

"What is it? Tell me."

The subordinate said, "The bodies of Lords Hei Bai Hun Yuan were just brought here by Zhao De's men."

"Second Elder, you were in seclusion for a long time, and we dared not disturb you until today..."

Upon hearing this news, Wang Donghai instantly flew into a rage.

"Get out! Get out of here!"

"Yes."

His subordinate dared not stay any longer and hurriedly retreated, otherwise he might be the next to die.

Not long after the subordinate left, a violent noise came from inside the hall. The subordinate turned pale and dared not linger, so he hurriedly retreated.

After a while, the commotion inside the main hall subsided.

What was once a grand hall has now been razed to the ground.

Wang Donghai stood on the ruins, his gaze coldly fixed on the distance.

"Zhao De, what tricks are you playing on me?"

First, news suddenly came from Zhao De that the Third Elder was going to attack the Holy Land, and then Zhao De's men brought over the corpse of the Black and White Chaos.

Although these two matters are not directly related to Zhao De, they are somewhat connected.

Based on Wang Donghai's understanding of Zhao De, Zhao De must have secretly done something to sabotage this matter.

"Zhao De! It seems you've been up to your old tricks again after all this time."

Wang Donghai quickly sent someone to summon Zhao De.

Furthermore, they dispatched new people to secretly monitor Zhao De's every move, and to report any actions taken to him immediately.

However, the news that came back from Zhao De made Wang Donghai cautious.

Although he is now in charge of the Holy Land.

However, if Chen Pingzhen continues to appear on the front lines, then he will inevitably have to deal with it; otherwise, the front lines will definitely be completely out of balance.

However, once he leaves the holy land, the guarding force here will be relatively weak.

The death of Hei Bai Hunyuan, in particular, left Wang Donghai's forces stretched thin.

Although Wang Donghai was not entirely sure what Zhao De's purpose was in deliberately sending this message, given Zhao De's cautious nature, it was impossible for the message to be false.

Therefore, this sacred place must be guarded against.

However, Wang Donghai is not without a way to solve this problem.

On the other end.

Upon receiving the message from Wang Donghai, Zhao De was also lost in thought.

The deputy standing beside him was extremely nervous.

"Old Zhao, what should we do? If Wang Donghai notices the change in you, he might not let you off the hook. Without our support, hosting a banquet might be quite dangerous."

Zhao De also looked worried. If he didn't go, it would mean that he would have to break ties with Wang Donghai this time.

Then the previous plans will probably fall through.

"Could it be that Wang Donghai has noticed something's wrong with me?"

The deputy standing nearby said worriedly:

"Elder Zhao, I think if it really doesn't work out, then we shouldn't go. Anyway, we can choose to seek refuge with the Third Elder now."

"This opportunity might allow us to break free from Wang Donghai's control and perhaps even gain some benefits from the Third Elder. It might not be a bad thing for us."

After careful consideration, Zhao De shook his head.

"No, now is not the time. If we choose to side with Chenping Town, Wang Donghai will surely make an example of us and take action against us."

"And the Third Elder, in order to make us show our loyalty, will definitely take this opportunity to make us wear down Wang Donghai. At that time, we will be isolated and helpless, and we may end up with nothing."

"This time, we must not act rashly until we are absolutely certain."

"Besides, my current appearance might not arouse Wang Donghai's suspicion. On the contrary, it might make him lower his guard. This risk is worth taking."

Seeing this, the others knew that Zhao De's mind was made up, and they could only make other preparations.

Soon, Zhao De left the island and went to Wang Donghai's sacred site.

With his current cultivation level, his speed is already beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

In just one day, they arrived at the holy site.

Feeling the grandeur of that sacred place, Zhao De slowly landed and stepped inside.

After the guards verified Zhao De's identity, they simply announced it and then immediately allowed him to pass.

When Zhao De arrived at the place where Wang Donghai was, he found that the surroundings were unusually quiet.

Wang Donghai also stood there with his back turned, remaining silent for a long time.

Seeing that Wang Donghai had not made a move for a long time, Zhao De did not dare to disturb him.

After all, Wang Donghai, as a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, already possessed the divine sense to observe things with meticulous detail.

How could he not know that such a living person had come to this place?

However, given the current situation, he dared not act rashly.

Wang Donghai kept his back turned until countless hours had passed.

Wang Donghai then slowly turned around and looked at Zhao De, who was now covered in sweat.

It was quite unusual for someone with cultivation above the Nascent Soul stage to be covered in sweat at this moment.

Wang Donghai, on the other hand, seemed quite satisfied with Zhao De's reaction.

He could sense that Zhao De was covered in sweat because he hadn't used any magic power in front of Wang Donghai.

Zhao De has been standing here for so long entirely thanks to his own physical strength.

Zhao De's body is still weak due to his recent breakthrough, which is why he is behaving this way.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Zhao De's reaction was quite satisfactory to Wang Donghai.

Wang Dongmei slowly walked to her seat, tapping her fingers on the table. She looked at Zhao De's disheveled appearance with amusement, and after a moment, she slowly spoke:

"Let's find a place to sit."

However, Zhao De laughed and said, "Hehe, I can just stand here. What are your orders, Second Elder?"

Wang Donghai slowly opened his mouth and asked:

"Your men brought the corpse of the Black-White Mixed Elemental here before, were you aware of that?"

Zhao De was taken aback. The people he had sent to cooperate with Yu Changsheng and others had indeed sent him back relevant information.

"I am indeed aware of this matter. However, I can assure you that the deaths of Lords Hei Bai Hunyuan have absolutely nothing to do with me. Those people only discovered that the two had been murdered by those treacherous villains when they rushed to support them."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Left with no other choice, we had to bring the person back to the Second Elder."

Wang Donghai sneered, "They've already been killed, and only now are your men arriving? Is it really just a coincidence? Do you really think I'm a fool who can be easily fooled?"

Zhao De had already anticipated this, and quickly explained, "Second Elder, you misunderstand. It's not that my people are unwilling to go directly."

"Instead, those two lords, Black and White Hunyuan, did not send us to provide support before they made their move."

"Helplessly, they dared not disobey the orders of Lords Black and White Hunyuan, and could only wait on the sidelines."

"It was my subordinates who, unable to contact Lords Black and White Hunyuan for some time, had to go and check, only to discover that Lords Black and White Hunyuan were already dead. Therefore, I had no choice but to report the news to you, Elder, immediately!"

"snort!"

Wang Donghai stared intently at Zhao De, but Zhao De remained calm and composed, showing no remorse.

Seeing that Zhao De didn't react, Wang Donghai then said:

"Alright, let's set that aside for now. But you secretly colluded with the Third Elder's men, intending to attack my holy land. You owe me an explanation for that, don't you?"

Zhao De's eyes widened immediately, and he quickly knelt down, saying:

"My lord, please investigate thoroughly. This matter was absolutely not done by us."

"snort!"

Wang Donghai gave a low shout, signaling the people behind the main hall to come over.

Before long, Liu Wan also walked over quickly and knelt down not far from Zhao De.

"This humble servant greets the Second Elder."

Wang Donghai sat upright and said:

"Liu Wan, tell me everything you know. Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you!"

Liu Wan nodded and immediately repeated to Zhao De what he had already reported to Wang Donghai.

Zhao De couldn't help but glance at Liu Wan.

His eyes were calm, but his heart was already filled with murderous intent.

Zhao De believed he had treated this person quite well, and he held a rather high position within his pirate crew.

Even so, Liu Wan still betrayed him so easily, which really disappointed Zhao De.

Liu Wan felt the gazes beside him and panicked for a moment.

However, considering Wang Donghai's presence above, Zhao De would never make a move here if he didn't want to die.

Therefore, Liu Wan continued, "Please make the decision, Second Elder."

Wang Donghai sneered and asked, "Zhao De, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhao De remained completely calm and said, "Please investigate thoroughly, Second Elder. Although that group did indeed seek our cooperation to attack your sacred ground..."

"But we will naturally not agree to such a thing, and we originally only intended to inform the Second Elder here."

Wang Donghai said coldly, "I know everything. Now you're saying you want to tell me? Isn't that a bit ridiculous?"

Zhao De, however, calmly took out a communication jade slip from his robes and said:

"I originally intended to inform you of this matter, but after much thought, I decided it would be better to do so in person, otherwise it might be difficult to explain."

"Furthermore, since the Second Elder summoned me, I decided to come here in person to inform the Second Elder and ask him to review it."

Zhao De also personally presented the jade slip containing the message.

Wang Donghai reached out and sucked the communication jade slip into his hand. After opening it and checking it, he found that it was indeed as Zhao De had said, and he had long wanted to inform him of this matter.

It was just a coincidence that he had summoned Zhao De, which is why Zhao De did not immediately send out the message via jade slip, but instead chose to call him in person.

"So, I misunderstood you?"

Zhao De lowered his head and said, "The Second Elder's suspicions are not without reason. It is perfectly reasonable for him to suspect me."

"But the Second Elder is free and at ease, so his subordinates' innocence will naturally not be tarnished."

Wang Donghai nodded to me, "In that case, what do you plan to do? I'd like to hear your opinion."

Zhao De said, "Since that group of people have come to us, I also want to turn the tables and lure them into a trap."

"Then we wiped out that group in one fell swoop."

"However, if we don't take action ourselves, and the elders don't show up elsewhere, those people probably won't act rashly."

Wang Donghai actually had the same idea. "Okay, that's a good idea."

"In that case, let's do it your way. My people will cooperate with you as appropriate."

"If you can lure those people out, you will have done a great service."

"Thank you, Second Elder."

Soon, Zhao De also left the main hall.

Zhao De was tense and anxious. This time, he was in grave danger. If Wang Donghai had even the slightest suspicion, his life would be in danger.

Fortunately, her words temporarily dispelled Wang Donghai's doubts.

But Zhao De knew very well that the reason Wang Donghai let him go was precisely because of the existence of Yu Changsheng and others.

Wang Donghai still needed Zhao De's support, which is why he chose to let it go for the time being.

However, once Wang Donghai consolidates his power again after this incident, it will be difficult to predict what their future will be like.

After Zhao De returned to the misty island, he immediately informed his Nascent Soul subordinates of the matter.

After hearing this, the group was filled with worry.

"Old Zhao, Wang Donghai is just using us this time. Once this is over, I suspect he won't let us off easily."

How could Zhao De not know this principle?

"Hmph, when dogs fight, they'll only end up with a mouthful of fur. It would be best if they fought to the point of mutual destruction."

"If Wang Donghai really wants to take action against that group, it will be a great opportunity for them to wear each other down, and we can take advantage of the situation."

"Anyway, according to the original plan, we don't need to go to the Holy Land to participate in the battle directly."

"Even if Wang Donghai forces us to participate in the exhibition, we can make our own choice based on the circumstances." (End of Chapter)
