Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8391: Blood Ghost_1

Calmly seated in his chamber, Zhao Hai faced Yan Bei across from him. Yan Bei gazed at Zhao Hai and remarked, "I never imagined the sect master and the rest would accept your idea. They're truly going ahead with the arena. Hehe, seems like you'll grab the spotlight once more. Come on, are you aiming to disable every core disciple from those other sects?" While many remained unaware of Zhao Hai's capabilities, Yan Bei understood them fully. Zhao Hai's power stood unparalleled among the core disciples. Even among refinement realm cultivators, only a handful could rival him.

Zhao Hai glanced at him with a smile. "No need for that. We'll observe their show. If they catch my fancy, I'll spare them. If not, I won't hold back. I'm no saint. With the Western Defense line's changes nearly finished, everyone deserves a break. The arena fights kick off in five days. Once that's done, we'll clash with the thirteen Family Alliance. Even if the big sects suffer defeats, they'll back the thirteen Family Alliance from the shadows. Thus, this fight will prove even tougher."

"You're overthinking it," Yan Bei murmured softly. "Honestly, Little Hai, even in a war against the 13 families, Island Masters or higher experts would join in. By then, would those folks heed you? Would the sect master still have you lead? Without your command, they won't obey. So why fret over it prematurely?"

Yan Bei's points rang true. The fighters at the Western Defense line lacked great power; the mightiest reached only the refinement realm. Zhao Hai had swayed the battlefield. Though stuck in the essence realm, his actual fighting strength matched the refinement realm. Still, he'd needed Ha Jing's reinforcements to steady things. Now, facing the 13 families' Alliance meant a full-scale conflict between powers. Both Island Lord experts and regular disciples would engage. The Blood Slaughter Sect's powerhouses would join too. Would those Island Lord figures follow Zhao Hai? Clearly not, rendering his current concerns pointless.

At Yan Bei's words, Zhao Hai chuckled lightly. "You're right; these matters lie beyond my grasp. Never mind, such decisions aren't mine to make. We'll await the sect's plans. Do you require any preparations?"

Yan Bei shook his head. "Remember, I'm a body cultivator. My emphasis rests on my physique. What prep do I need? You, though—shouldn't you get ready? The opponents specified no puppets, battle corpses, or spirit beasts. That's obviously targeting you. Aren't you concerned at all?"

Zhao Hai grinned. "Worried? Why? The battle corpse's strength might not surpass mine now. Puppets and bronze warriors are similar. I'm just shocked they'd impose this. Such a rule must hit the Corpse Demon Sect and Poison Bug Valley hard, no?"

Yan Bei shook his head. "It'll affect them some, but not severely," he explained. "The Corpse Demon Sect excels in corpse control, yet they hold vast heritages beyond that. Corpse manipulation is merely one branch. Lately, their leaders favor it, leading folks to assume it's their specialty. Truth is, it isn't. Poison Bug Valley mirrors this. Renowned for venomous bugs, they're adept there too. They possess potent poison arts, widely known. At times, they wield poisons directly, so these restrictions barely hinder them."

"Got it." Zhao Hai nodded. "So these rules target me specifically? Hehe, intriguing. They can't believe I depend solely on battle corpses and puppets for victory, can they? If that's their genuine view, things will get entertaining."

Yan Bei chuckled. "They're not fools. Still, they realize without limits, they'd stand no chance. If you unleashed bronze warriors and battle corpses, how could they compete? This rule lets them fight freely. Major sects boast diverse heritages, including exceptionally gifted core disciples. Don't dismiss them lightly."

Zhao Hai shook his head steadily. "I'm not underestimating them; I trust my own abilities. Few below Island Lord rank can best me. Facing core disciples this time boosts my assurance even more, so truly, no worries here."

Yan Bei laughed. "Indeed. I doubt any core disciple could match you. That said, stay vigilant. Those sects aren't straightforward. Who knows what schemes they might pull." Yan Bei harbored little faith in the other sects, as none acted uprightly. The Blood Slaughter Sect shared that trait, but aimed its slyness outward, never at its own followers.

Zhao Hai smiled without further comment. Though he couldn't best an Island Lord, he feared no one beneath that tier. Even refinement realm foes posed no threat without his bronze statues or battle corpses. Zhao Hai held firm confidence in this.

Five days passed, and Zhao Hai entered a vast hall. This was the familiar Blood Buddha Temple to him. For the showdown with rival sects, the Bloody Massacre Sect dispatched Ha Jing to helm the Blood Buddha Temple. Zhao Hai's senior brother, Yan Bei's master, and several other Island Lords accompanied them. With such backup, schemes from other sects held no fear.

The Bloody Massacre Sect's participants in the arena bouts, alongside Zhao Hai, had all arrived at the Blood Buddha Temple. Newcomers eyed everything curiously, yet stayed silent. They assembled in the plaza before the Blood Buddha Temple, staring impassively across the way.

Before them loomed a grand palace, towering immensely, inscribed with two bold characters: Senluo! This was the Senluo Treasure Palace, a renowned massive artifact from the 13 Family Alliance. It contained its own vast interior across 18 layers, dubbed the 18 levels of hell. Its utilities proved marvelous. Indeed, the 13 Family Alliance's fame and endurance against the Bloody Massacre Sect's pressure over years tied directly to the Senluo Treasure Palace.

The Senluo Temple didn't originate from the Alliance's creation. Alliance cultivators had stumbled upon this ancient celestial artifact. Existing for eons, its inner spirit had vanished long ago. The Alliance's Yu family first claimed it as a clan heirloom. Through generations of Yu cultivators' efforts, the artifact grew immensely potent. At minimum, it outshone the Blood Buddha Temple.

Among the 13 Family Alliance, no figure like Ha Jing existed. Their resistance to the Blood Slaughter Sect's dominance for years stemmed from the Senluo Palace. One could say the Senluo Palace formed their bulwark against the Blood Slaughter Sect. Bringing the full Senluo Palace now showed their grave intent for this arena contest.

Zhao Hai positioned himself at the Blood Buddha Temple's plaza forefront. Though all arena participants were core disciples, Zhao Hai led them. Fame brought such perks. Previously, Zhao Hai enjoyed some renown in the Blood Slaughter Sect, but not overwhelming. Now, everything changed. His fame soared sky-high. His feats at the Western Defense line had alerted the entire Blood Slaughter Sect to him. Even outsiders heard his name, though sect members knew him best.

Zhao Hai once bore a certain moniker. Lately, a fresh one emerged: Blood Ghost! This title raced through the Blood Massacre Sect. Some outsiders caught wind of it too. Though plain-sounding, it carried deep layers. Firstly, from his ghost claw mastery. Secondly, as a rare Blood Massacre Sect cultivator skilled in ghostly arts. Thirdly, for his ghost-like cunning, earning him Blood Ghost.

Earlier, at the Western Defense line, Zhao Hai formed a bloodsucker squad. Upon the sect's discovery, they tested the bloodsucker squad. Sect elders soon noted the squad's robust strength. Their teamwork in combat shone seamlessly. Crucially, bloodsucker squad members could harness killing aura to amplify themselves at times, astonishing everyone.

Yet they quickly realized separated bloodsucker squad members lost that edge. Swapping in outsiders for squad members nullified the killing aura use. Thus, only united could the bloodsucker squad wield killing aura. This revelation stunned them, leaving the Bloody Massacre Sect baffled.

Ultimately, Blood Killing Sect investigators linked the bloodsucker squad's killing aura reliance straight to Zhao Hai. Word of this spread rapidly among sect members. Thereby, Zhao Hai's outsider bloodsucker label solidified further. Hearing Zhao Hai dubbed bloodsucker, squad members felt no rage—only delight. They already respected him deeply. Despite his possibly lower cultivation, none belittled him or showed disdain. They recognized Zhao Hai's might exceeded theirs. Only under his guidance could they unleash peak power!
