Chapter 1673: Let Him Check
When Han Buli heard Zhao Hai, he frowned and said, “Ye Tiancheng, I heard of this person. He’s a famous genius in the gang. I didn’t expect you to offend him. I heard that there are several groups in the sect that went in contact with him, preparing to groom him. You need to be careful.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, he can’t do anything to me. If he sends someone to deal with me, I’m not worried. I don’t go out most of the time, I only stay here. If they want to deal with me, they better send someone good. I have a s.p.a.ce ability, if I can’t fight, I’ll just run away. He wants to get rid of me? He’s not qualified.”
Han Buli smiled. He knew about Zhao Hai’s background, and there wasn’t anything wrong. He also found out about Zhao Hai’s actions in the lower realms. He was relieved that Zhao Hai didn’t deliberately approach him to make friends.
Now that he knows about Zhao Hai’s background, Han Buli can be friends with him. It was difficult to make friends in the Great World of Cultivation. And Zhao Hai was the friend that Han Buli wanted to make.
Han Buli doesn’t believe that a newcomer like Zhao Hai would know about the Han Clan. In the entire Black Tiger Gang, only a few people knew of the Han Clan, not to mention Zhao Hai.
Han Buli had the clan check on Zhao Hai’s ident.i.ty. He was afraid that Zhao Hai was pretending in order to deal with the Han Clan. After knowing that Zhao Hai’s ident.i.ty was clean, Han Buli was relieved.
However, Han Buli doesn’t approve of Zhao Hai’s confidence against Ye Tiancheng. Ye Tiancheng might not be a threat to Zhao Hai, but the forces behind Ye Tiancheng had a lot of influence. Han Buli wouldn’t just allow Zhao Hai to be attacked. So upon returning, Han Buli planned to ask his third uncle to tell those people not to touch Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai was naturally unaware of Han Buli’s special status. He only thought that Han Buli was an ordinary cultivator of the Darkness Hall. He didn’t think Han Buli would have such a huge clan behind him.
So after Zhao Hai told Han Buli to not worry, he no longer talked about it. He continued to drink with Han Buli. Before long, the two drank five bottles of liquor. It must be known that Zhao Hai’s liquor had high alcohol content. If a normal person drank five bottles, they would have drunk themselves to death. Fortunately, Zhao Hai and Han Buli were powerful cultivators. So even after drinking five bottles, they were still absolutely fine.
After drinking their fifth bottle, Han Buli noticed that it was getting late, he turned his head to Zhao Hai and said, “It’s time for me to leave. I’ll look for you another time.” Then he stood up.
Seeing that Han Buli was leaving, Zhao Hai also stood up and then said, “You’re going? Alright, bring this with you.” He waved his hand and then took out a jug of liquor. It was a 50 jin(26kg) jug.
Han Buli didn’t hesitate as he received the liquor and said, “Thanks. Goodbye.” Then he walked towards the transmission formation. After a flash of white light, he was gone.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and then returned to the s.p.a.ce to continue researching formations. His impression of Han Buli was very good. At the very least, Han Buli didn’t ask about the origin of his liquor and food.
Good friends would be honest to each other, but there also needs to be boundaries. Everyone has their own secrets. If they ask too many questions, it might put a strain on their relations.h.i.+p. Han Buli naturally understood this point. So he just enjoyed Zhao Hai’s drinks and didn’t ask any questions.
After Zhao Hai returned to the s.p.a.ce, Cai’er immediately looked for him, “Young Master, take a look at this.” Zhao Hai looked at the monitor and couldn’t help but pause. Displayed on the screen was Ye Tiancheng.
Ye Tiancheng was currently sitting in his room along with other cultivators. These cultivators were also from the Outer Sect. It can be seen that Ye Tiancheng was the leader of this group.
At this time, Ye Tiancheng’s subordinate said, “Boss, we can’t just let this matter go. He’s a small Battle Slave and he’s also sent to that place. He even offended First Senior Brother. He has lived long enough. We can’t let him off.” This man was thin and shriveled. His eyes were sloped upwards. Looking at him was irritating.
Another subordinate nodded and said, “Boss, we can’t leave it like this. Eliminating you in the first round is unforgivable.”
Looking at Ye Tiancheng’s two subordinates made Zhao Hai laugh. These two idiots were persuading Ye Tiancheng by exposing his loss.
Ye Tiancheng was naturally annoyed by their words, he glared at them and said, “Roll off! I failed the first round because I underestimated the enemy .This Zhao Hai is very strong. But if he wants to offend me, he’s still too small. Now is not the time to deal with Zhao Hai. If he is killed, then n.o.body will take care of the Ignored Valley and we would be discovered. Just wait for an opportunity to deal with him.”
When Ye Tiancheng’s subordinates heard this, they no longer spoke. After all, this was Ye Tiancheng’s personal matter. It was up to him what to do in the end, n.o.body else could tell him what to do.
Ye Tiancheng looked at everyone and said, “Don’t provoke Zhao Hai. I don’t want to bring too much attention. If it’s known that I’m looking for revenge, it wouldn’t be good for me. Understood? However, you need to keep a tight watch on him. See who he gets in contact with. Right, go look into the person who Zhao Hai talked to earlier. It seems like they know each other.” Those present nodded before they dispersed.
Ye Tiancheng slowly closed his eyes. Seeing Ye Tiancheng, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile as he said, “This fellow really knows to endure. This is good. Let’s see the tricks he comes up with.”
Cai’er looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Young Master, what about Han Buli? Should we inform him? However, he’s someone from the Darkness Hall. If people found out about his ident.i.ty, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be good for you.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Han Buli’s ident.i.ty wouldn’t be easy to find out. Not to mention his ability to change his form, the Darkness Hall wouldn’t allow people looking into him. This time, Ye Tiancheng would be kicking an iron plate.”
Laura nodded and said, “Not just that, Han Buli’s status as someone from the Darkness Hall is also a threat to us. We can take this opportunity to see how Ye Tiancheng and his people get dealt with.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Right. We can’t investigate Han Buli nor can we mention him. So how could we tell him that Ye Tiancheng would spy on him. Let Ye Tiancheng check. No matter what he comes upon, it will reveal something to us.”
Cai’er nodded, “Young Master, you’re quite sinister.”
Hearing this, Zhao Hai stood up and said, “What did you say? You dared call me sinister, let’s see how I deal with you.” After he said that, he chased after Cai’er. Cai’er also ran away screaming.
At this time, Zhang Hai reported to Zhang Feng. The contents of his report included Zhao Hai and Han Buli’s relations.h.i.+p. Naturally, he only knew that Zhao Hai made a friend and then he invited him over to the Ignored Valley. As for Han Buli’s ident.i.ty, he knew nothing.
Zhang Feng frowned as he listened. After some time, he said, “Little Hai, what do you think? Does Little Hai have his own plans?”
When he heard Zhang Feng, Zhang Hao stared for a moment before he shook his head and said, “I don’t think so. Little Hai already knows your status. You’re one of the most powerful people in the Black Tiger Gang. Moreover, you’ve treated him well ever since he came under your wing. He should know how to be thankful. So I think he doesn’t have any plans. And even if he has other thoughts, he won’t just look for Outer Disciples. From what Elder Hu told me, the person was a Body Cultivator with great strength. Zhao Hai might be looking for talents on your behalf.”
Hearing Zhang Hao, Zhang Feng stared. He hasn’t really thought of this point. So upon hearing Zhang Hao, “No matter what Zhao Hai’s plan is, we should find out about the person who approached Little Hai. If he came with ulterior motives, report to me immediately.” Zhang Hao nodded before he left.
When Zhang Hao left, Zhang Feng took out a jade sword message and then wrote his message inside before letting it go. Zhang Feng had his own information channel. He wanted to get more information about Zhao Hai’s matter.
Although Zhang Feng trusted Zhang Hao and gave some matters to him to take care of, Zhang Hao was still weak. Zhang Feng’s hidden forces cannot be handed over to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao cannot command these people at all, only Zhang Feng was able to.
Zhang Feng’s information channels were established with the help of his Martial Uncle, the current Gang Master. Because of this, Zhang Hao’s information channel was very formidable. He wouldn’t just use this for ordinary matters.
The reason Zhang Feng used his spies was because Zhao Hai was truly important for Zhang Feng’s faction. No mistakes were allowed when it came to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai didn’t know about Zhang Feng’s actions, but he didn’t care about these things. After all, he didn’t do anything wrong. Even if Zhang Feng met with Han Buli to check him out, nothing would happen.
Zhao Hai continued to be present on the following days of the compet.i.tion. Zhao Hai also hasn’t seen Han Buli, he didn’t know where he ran off to.
The first round was still going on, but it was nearing its end. The second round was about to happen.
Before long, the first round was done and half of the partic.i.p.ants were eliminated. The second round was no different to the first. The disciples didn’t need to replace their numbers. As long as they were drawn, they would go up and compete.
Although the second round was more exciting than the first round, it was still the same to Zhao Hai. There was nothing worth looking at. He decided to lose to his opponent in this round. In any case, losing in the second round doesn’t make him last.
Zhao Hai expected that the fights of the second round would be longer than the first. However, the contrary happened. The battles were even quicker.
In the beginning, Zhao Hai was confused. But after looking for a while, he understood. Because they already know about their opponents, the battle no longer involved probing for the other party’s capabilities. Therefore, each combatant went full power at the first opportunity.
The compet.i.tion didn’t have any rules regarding casualties. However, if one side was heavy-handed, the referee would intervene. Naturally, there were some times where the referee failed to save the other party, so casualties were unavoidable.
It’s very rare for any casualties to happen in the first round. But in the second round, the rate of deaths increased. The first reason for this was because the compet.i.tors on the second round were much stronger. Secondly, both sides wanted to end the battle as soon as possible because they wanted more time to observe others. Ending the fight early would also allow them to maintain their peak state.
The first day of the second round had nothing to do with Zhao Hai. He was just a spectator because his number hasn’t been called. He could only sit on the side. Once the day ended, he would return to the Ignored Valley.
On the second day, Zhao Hai was still not called after five rounds. But Zhao Hai wasn’t in a hurry. He just sat in place. He knew that he would be called sooner or later. So there wasn’t anything to be anxious about.
On the sixth draw, Zhao Hai was finally called. When he heard his number, Zhao Hai opened his eyes and flew to the platform. Zhao Hai’s opponent also appeared. When he saw his opponent, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but frown. This was because his opponent was disabled. He had a stubbed right arm. His face had crossed scars. Not only was it scarred, the wound was so deep that his cheekbones could be seen. His nose was cut in the middle while his lips were divided into four. He looked mangled.
