Zhao Hai could see that the group sent by the Heavenly Demons were specifically formed to deal with the Freedom Alliance Army.
Zhao Hai could understand this approach of the Heavenly Demon Army. He beat them the day before. Naturally, the Heavenly Demons couldnât accept it. The Heavenly Demon Army needs to maintain its morale. There were millions of troops in the army, if the army suffered a loss against a small team of mostly spirit refining cultivators, then the morale of the Heavenly Demon Army would drop.
And if Zhao Haiâs army kept standing, they would continue to affect the morale of the army. This wasnât good for the Heavenly Demon Army. Therefore, in order to deal with Zhao Haiâs army, they formed a special team. Zhao Haiâs army needed to be dealt with in the shortest possible time. The Freedom Alliance Army needs to be wiped out.
Despite knowing the thoughts of the Heavenly Demons, Zhao Haiâs expression didnât change watching his army die in battle. He just looked on with a cold gaze.
The Freedom Allianceâs army was quickly being grinded down. Hua Wushang also wasnât planning on offering any help. It was as if he wanted the Freedom Alliance Army to be annihilated.
The fight went on for more than four hours. From the original 150 thousand, the Freedom Alliance only had about 30 thousand troops left. As an army, they were practically disabled.
At this time, Zhao Hai made his move. This time, he didnât use the Thousand-hand Guanyin. Instead, he used the Heavenly Demon Seven Killing Blades. The lethality of the seven killing blades is very high. The Heavenly Demons had to take out a portion of their troops to deal with him.
At this time, Hua Wushang also felt that a crucial moment had arrived. He knew that if Zhao Hai perished in this place, the Black Tiger Gang would definitely go all out against the valley. Therefore, he quickly sent a group to rescue the Freedom Alliance Army.
Time passed and another two hours went by. The Freedom Alliance was now reduced to 20 thousand. However, they were finally able to drive back the Heavenly Demon Army. The Freedom Alliance Army were finally able to return to the rear and rest.
Zhao Hai retreated as well. His face was calm. Nobody could see an expression on his face. Wan Zong followed behind him, and his face was full of anger.
Zhao Hai could understand Wan Zongâs mood. Although it hasnât been long since this army was formed, it was still an army of the Freedom Alliance. Despite how weak it was, Wan Zong still had a sense of belonging towards the army.
Wan Zong was also aware that the Hundred Flowers Alliance was fully capable of helping them, but they didnât. They just looked on as the people of the army died. It would be strange if Wan Zong wasnât angry.
Zhao Hai looked at Wan Zong and said, âDonât be angry. Our goal has been achieved. Weâll be returning to the sect tomorrow.â After he said that, he flew forward. Soon, he was greeted by Hua Wushang and Li Xunhua.
The two cupped their fists towards Zhao Hai. Then Hua Wushang said, âJunior Brother Zhao, we were late to notice the situation. Iâm sorry for being late in sending you support.â
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, âNo, youâre too polite. However, the Freedom Alliance Army is now crippled. Everyoneâs morale is very low. Staying here any longer would just affect the baseâs morale. I think itâs time for us to return. Senior Brother Hua, Senior Brother Li, what do you think?â
Hua Wushang and Li Xunhua looked at Zhao Haiâs expression and were convinced that he was angry. The two didnât say anything. Instead, Hua Wushang agreed, âOf course. Be careful when you return. Do you need to take a rest first before you return?â
Zhao Hai shook his head, âThereâs no need. Thereâs a lot of matters still left unsolved back in the Freedom Alliance. The earlier I head back, the sooner I can deal with them.â
Hua Wushang and Li Xunhua understood what Zhao Hai was saying. The first army wasnât doing very well recently. Zhao Hai wanted to return as soon as possible to save it. So the two nodded. Then Zhao Hai cupped his fist towards them before leaving.
Looking at Zhao Haiâs back, Hua Wushang sighed and said, âWe have offended Zhao Hai this time. It seems like we need to deal with him once we have an opportunity. Otherwise, he would be the one dealing with us.â
Li Xunhua nodded, âI have informed the sect about this matter. The sect agrees with our ideas. Moreover, the sect will send people to deal with Zhao Hai. Thereâs no need to worry.â
Hua Wushang nodded and said, âLetâs use the seductress wine. Zhao Haiâs commanding ability is too strong. This would affect our future plans.â
Li Xunhua nodded, âRest assured, itâs been taken care of.â
The next morning, Zhao Hai brought the Freedom Alliance back. The initial 150 thousand troops was now reduced to 20 thousand. Most of the survivors have depressed expressions on their faces. Some of them even held hostility towards the Hundred Flowers Alliance.
In fact, it wasnât only the people of the Freedom Alliance. There were people in the Hundred Flowers Alliance that had negative opinions on Hua Wushangâs performance the day before. However, none of them dared to say it out loud.
Zhao Hai has yet to contact the people who were dissatisfied with the Hundred Flowers Alliance. He didnât have the time to see them. Moreover, he couldnât just visit people in the open. Therefore, Zhao Hai decided to return to the sect first before making plans.
When Zhao Hai and the others returned to the Black Tiger Gang, Zhang Feng and the other sect representatives were waiting for them. Although Zhao Hai didnât leave for a long time, he actually lost 130 thousand people in that period. However, they managed to kill 200 thousand Heavenly Demons. On paper, the reinforcement army won.
Moreover, the people from the other sects understood that the reason Zhao Hai and the others only came back was because the Hundred Flowers Alliance failed to provide help. This also irritated the sects.
After Zhang Feng settled the troops, he invited Zhao Hai and the representatives of the sects to the meeting hall. Although most of them were aware of the battle results, they still wanted to hear the details from Zhao Haiâs mouth.
Once everyone had sat down. Zhao Hai told everyone a revised version of the battle. After heâs done, Zhao Hai coldly snorted and said, âIf we didnât help the Hundred Flowers Valley, we wouldnât have suffered huge casualties. I can clearly see that theyâre afraid of the Heavenly Demons. They would just shrink to their shells and accept the beating. Although their defenses are good, they didnât make any efforts to counter-attack. Sooner or later, their defenses will be breached. I donât think we should expect much of them in the future.â
Zhang Feng calmly listened to Zhao Haiâs words. But upon hearing Zhao Hai, his expression changed. Then he looked at the representatives and said, âEveryone, I know that some of your are in contact with other alliances. But I advise you to take Little Haiâs words to heart. Those big sects donât care about our lives at all. Whether it be the Hundred Flowers Valley or the Myriad Demons Realm, they just want to preserve their strength. They donât care about our losses. You should know that those sects still have cards to play. And they can afford to lose troops. On the other hand, every loss we suffer will shake our foundations. I hope you consider this when you think about the matters of the Freedom Alliance.â
Zhang Feng also discovered that there were some sects that werenât content with the Freedom Alliance. Some of them were in contact with the Hundred Flowers Alliance and the Myriad Demons Alliance. This was a dangerous signal. Itâs possible that these sects were divulging information about the Freedom Alliance. Therefore, Zhang Feng took this opportunity to address the issue.
None of the sect representatives made a response. They just sat there with calm faces. Zhang Feng looked at everyone, then he coldly snorted and said, âPerhaps youâre thinking that the Hundred Flowers Valley and the Myriad Demons Sect are only aiming at the Freedom Alliance. And as long as you leave, you wonât be attacked. But let me tell you, your thinking is wrong. You can go back and inquire. Ask who lost the most people in the Hundred Flowers Alliance. Every time the Hundred Flowers Alliance fought against the Heavenly Demons, the one who lost the most were the small sects. The reason the Hundred Flowers Alliance wanted Zhao Hai to return was because Zhao Hai is capable of fighting back and was ruining their plan. The Hundred Flowers Valley wants to use the Heavenly Demons to weaken the other sects. They want to achieve domination of the Northern Divergent Province. Do you really think that you would have a better life if you join the Hundred Flowers Alliance?â
The expressions of some sect representatives couldnât help but change. They didnât know whether Zhang Feng was telling the truth or not, but if Zhang Feng dared to say it here, then it must be true. If thatâs the case, then itâs definitely not a good idea to join the Hundred Flowers Alliance.
Looking at the expressions of these people, Zhang Feng smiled faintly and said, âEveryone, Iâm not afraid to tell you, I already know who is in contact with the other alliances. Although youâre free to leave the Freedom Alliance, youâll become our enemy if you cause the alliance to be disadvantaged. Iâm not polite when dealing with enemies.â

âLittle Hai will return to the first army to take command. But at the same time, he will head a special operation team. This team will be composed of elites drawn from various sects. They will be members of the first army and fight with the army. But when necessary, they will act to deal with the internal enemies of the alliance. If anyone dares to betray the alliance, you will be treated as an enemy. So please think about your decisions carefully.â After he said that, Zhang Feng stood up and left.
Nobody expected Zhang Fengâs touch stance. He was warning everyone to not act unreasonably. Otherwise, they would be dealt with.
During the formation of the Freedom Alliance, a rule was set where everyone can join and leave whenever they want. Zhang Fengâs words just now were a blatant derailment of this rule. This caused some representatives to have an ugly expression.
However, there were also some sects who didnât react. They knew that they needed this method at this time. Otherwise, the Freedom Alliance would be divided up by other powers. Those who werenât affected by Zhang Fengâs words looked at the other representatives before standing up and leaving. They needed to tell their sects about the news so that they could prepare early.
Zhao Hai and Zhang Feng went to the study. Upon arriving, Zhang Feng withdrew his angry look. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, âHow is it? Is it enough to shake those people?â
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, âIt shouldnât be a problem. If they still havenât opened their eyes, then weâll clean them up. The establishment of this special team will enhance the strength of the Black Tiger Gang. Moreover, you raised the matter at the right time. Not a lot of them should object to this decision.â
Zhang Feng nodded, then he said, âReturn to the first army as soon as possible. The morale of the first army is very low. Although they havenât eaten heavy losses, a lot of people were dissatisfied with the situation. You need to show yourself to increase their morale.â
Zhao Hai nodded, âYou can rest assured. Leave this to me. Also, I noticed some people in the Hundred Flowers Alliance who didnât like their current position. Plenty of them were disciples of extinguished sects. I want to try getting in touch with them. If possible, we can bring them over. What do you think?â
Zhang Feng thought about it before he nodded, âAlright, Iâll leave that to you. As long as they donât show any disloyal thoughts, the Black Tiger Gang will welcome them.â
Zhao Hai nodded and then said, âFirst Brother, Iâll be going back to the first army. Battles in the Hundred Flowers Valley are very boring. Iâll go to the first army and brawl with the Heavenly Demons.â
Zhang Feng nodded, âAlright, you can go. Make those Heavenly Demons aware that they cannot easily move against the Freedom Alliance.â Zhao Hai smiled faintly. Then he cupped his fist before leaving.
Zhao Hai didnât bother visiting other areas of the base as he went directly towards the transmission formation plaza. After a flash of white light, he returned to the base of the first army.
The atmosphere of the first army was terrible. After Zhao Hai left, it seems like the first army has lost its soul. The fighting strength of the army quickly plummeted. Now they could only receive a beating from the Heavenly Demons.
Zhao Hai quickly noticed this upon arriving at the base. He couldnât help but frown. However, he didnât say anything. He walked out of the transmission formation and then went to his residence.
The cultivator on the transmission formation initially had a blank look on his face. But upon seeing Zhao Hai, his eyes lit up. With an excited voice, he exclaimed, âCommander, youâre back!â
