Chapter 8

Laura and the others all nodded. If a teleportation array could be established here at the Abyssal Sword, then the people of the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm would have long established one here. There would have been no need to create that iron chain. Now, they would rather use that iron chain than a teleportation array, which must mean that it is impossible to establish a teleportation array here.

Zhao Hai looked at Laura and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason why it's impossible to establish a teleportation array here is likely related to the energy turbulence. This energy turbulence affects the operation of spatial laws. Therefore, if a teleportation array were to be established here, it would either not work at all, or it could be used, but people would be teleported to unknown places. This is why there is no teleportation array here. What you need to do is find a way to quickly transport the disciples of the Bloodkill Sect across the Endless Abyss and directly into the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm without using a teleportation array."

Laura nodded and said solemnly, "Alright, we'll take care of this. We will definitely get it done. To be honest, I am really curious about how deep the Endless Abyss is and why no one who falls into it can ever come back up. We will definitely find out where those who fall into the Endless Abyss end up."

Zhao Hai nodded and continued, "This is up to you. After I leave, the sect's affairs will be handed over to you and Wen Hai and the others. Wen Hai and the others will manage the sect's affairs. You don't need to worry about daily matters, but you should keep an eye on things. If Wen Hai and the others act recklessly, you need to step in."

Laura responded, "Wen Hai and the others manage the sect very well. After you leave, we will focus on research. As long as Wen Hai and the others don't act recklessly, I won't interfere with the management of the sect. However, if we really think they are doing something wrong, we will step in."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I believe Wen Hai and the others won't act recklessly. Alright, that's all. I won't say more. After we leave, the sect's affairs will depend on you." Laura and the others all responded, but didn't say much. They believed this was their responsibility and there was no need to say more.

After explaining these matters to Laura and the others, Zhao Hai went directly to a small meeting room and called all the cabinet members. Once everyone was in the small meeting room, Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "I called you all here today for one thing, and that is to discuss the future development of the sect."

At this point, Zhao Hai paused. Wen Hai and the others looked at him with confusion. They didn't quite understand Zhao Hai's intention. The sect was developing well, and they had already decided on its future development before entering the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm. Why was Zhao Hai bringing this up now?

Zhao Hai looked at their expressions and said solemnly, "I know you are all curious. There's nothing much to it. I have decided that after some time, I will go with Shi Jin and the others to explore the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm. After I leave, the management of the sect will be handed over to you."

Hearing this, Wen Hai and the others were stunned. Then Wen Hai immediately stood up and bowed to Zhao Hai, "Boss, there's no need for this. Even if we need to deal with the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm, there's no need for you to personally gather information there. Shi Jin and the others are enough. You are the leader of the Bloodkill Sect, and all 1.5 billion people of the Bloodkill Sect rely on you. How can you leave?"

The others also echoed this sentiment. Zhao Hai looked at everyone and waved his hand, and they quieted down. Zhao Hai looked at them and said solemnly, "Don't be so agitated. There's nothing much for me to do in the sect. I just want to go to the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm to check things out. Besides gathering information, I also want to establish a force there to prepare for our future attack on the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm."

Hearing this, Wen Hai and the others fell silent. Zhao Hai's reason was strong. Establishing a force in the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm was something only Zhao Hai could do. They were all far behind him in this regard.

Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "After we leave, the sect will be handed over to you. Wen Hai, your main tasks are two: First, establish the Abyssal Sword as a stronghold that can both attack and defend. To do this, you must find a way to quickly reach the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm. I guess it's not possible to use a teleportation array here at the Abyssal Sword, right?" Zhao Hai directed this last question to Fa Jing and the others.

Fa Jing understood Zhao Hai's meaning and immediately stood up, bowing to Zhao Hai, "Yes, Sect Leader. You are absolutely right. It is indeed impossible to use a teleportation array here at the Abyssal Sword. In the past, someone tried to establish a teleportation array here, but although it could be activated, the items being teleported would disappear, never appearing at the other end. This is why no one has tried to establish a teleportation array here since."

Zhao Hai nodded and said to Wen Hai, "Did you hear that? Your task is to find a way to quickly cross the Endless Abyss and enter the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm. Understand?" Wen Hai and the others all responded. They now understood that it was impossible to use a teleportation array at the Abyssal Sword, which made entering and exiting the Abyssal Sword a problem. While they were confident they could enter the Abyssal Sword using magical artifacts, the time required was too long. As Zhao Hai said, they needed to find a faster way to enter the Abyssal Sword.

Zhao Hai continued, "The second task is to thoroughly research the energy turbulence in the Endless Abyss. This energy turbulence is very powerful, and you must study it to see if it can be utilized. In fact, I believe the reason why it's impossible to use a teleportation array here is closely related to this energy turbulence. So, you have a lot of work ahead."

Wen Hai and the others responded again. They were also very curious about the energy turbulence in the Endless Abyss and wanted to know if it could be utilized. Perhaps because they had been with Zhao Hai for a long time, or because of the Bloodkill Sect's philosophy, they now instinctively thought about researching and utilizing unknown things. If it could be utilized, that would be great; if not, they wanted to know why. Therefore, they had no complaints about Zhao Hai's order.

Zhao Hai continued, "Wen Hai, after I leave, the Bloodkill Sect will be handed over to you. If you have any issues, discuss them. If there's something you really can't decide, report it to Laura and the others and follow their advice. However, don't bother them with every little thing. They are busy and won't manage the sect's affairs. Most decisions will still be made by you. Understand?"

Wen Hai responded. They had no objections to Zhao Hai's decision. Having Laura and the others help manage the sect was something Wen Hai wouldn't oppose. First, Laura and the others had already proven their management skills. Second, they were Zhao Hai's closest people. It was only natural for them to manage the sect after Zhao Hai left. Wen Hai also knew that Laura and the others were not the type to give random orders. They rarely interfered unless there was a serious issue.

Zhao Hai looked at Wen Hai and the others and said solemnly, "To be honest, I don't really want to deal with the people of the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm. To do so, we would have to confront the powerful beings from the Upper Realm who stand behind the sects of the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm. This is not what I want. Conflicts with the Upper Realm would be detrimental to us. We will eventually ascend, and once we do, those from the Upper Realm will still come after us. We would be offending them before we even ascend, which is not what I want to see."

He paused and continued, "However, to deal with the Shadow Clan, we must first clarify our stance with the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm. They can choose not to help us, but they must not hinder us. Currently, there are likely members of the Shadow Clan in the sects of the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm. They won't stand by and watch us deal with the Shadow Clan, so they will definitely try to stop us. When that happens, we will have no choice but to confront them. I always like to think of the worst-case scenario and then work towards the best outcome. This time is no different."

Wen Hai and the others all responded. They understood Zhao Hai's point. The people of the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm were all cultivators, and they didn't really want to deal with them. These cultivators had little meaning to them. The Bloodkill Sect already had enough disciples and didn't need to recruit more.

However, the issue was that they wanted to deal with the Shadow Clan. They were all aware of the situation in the Black and White Battlefield, where the people of the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm were clearly colluding with the Shadow Clan, giving the Black and White Battlefield to the Shadow Clan. To say they had no connection with the Shadow Clan would be to treat them as fools.

Therefore, to deal with the Shadow Clan, they must first clarify their stance with the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm. At the very least, the people of the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm must not hinder them when they deal with the Shadow Clan. If the people of the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm hindered them, it would have a significant impact. To deal with the Shadow Clan, they must ensure that there are no issues in the Ten Thousand Mountains Realm. This was their bottom line.
