Chapter 952 – Feeling!

Zhao Hai could also see the expression of Bingya's group. However, Zhao Hai didn't say anything. He just gave Bingya and the others a nod before he sat down on the deck.

Before long, Meg brought out various types of dishes and set them out on the table. Zhao Hai took some liquor as the women took a seat. Then Zhao Hai raised his gla.s.s towards Bingya and said, "Bingya, you couldn't be blamed for what just happened. This type of thing is not strange for me. In any case, I will not let the Divine Supreme Elders go. You can rest a.s.sured."

Bingya couldn't say anything, he could only bitterly smile. Even if Zhao Hai didn't mention it, he already gave great face towards the foreign races. If it was anybody else who was treated like Zhao Hai, then they would have already been angered.

After Zhao Hai drank from his gla.s.s, he said, "We're not just waiting for the foreign races to come for us. We're also here to prevent the nine Supreme Elders from leaving. This is the only way to get to the Leo Continent. As long as we wait here, then we would surely meet the nine Supreme Elders. Even if they give up on a.s.saulting the foreign races, we can still stop them here."

Bingya nodded, then he held a wine gla.s.s up for Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, I apologize. I'm also unaware of this matter. I ask mister to forgive me."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It's alright. This isn't your idea. People your age cannot come up with these kinds of plans. Come and eat, how has your cultivation been these days?" Upon hearing Zhao Hai mention this, the three couldn't help but be shaken. It can be said that they were very happy these recent days. With their constant cultivation, they already reached peak G.o.d-rank, half step towards the boundary. Just in their clan, only a a few people had reached this level.

They had received a lot of benefits because of Zhao Hai. At the very least, their speed of practice was much better compared to when they were back in their clans.

The three also knew that they couldn't practice as peacefully in their clans as in the h.e.l.l King's s.h.i.+p. There were a lot of matters in their families, tasks for people like them to do. Every time they take care of something, they would delay their cultivation. But if they don't do those tasks, then they would be punished. This wasn't the case with Zhao Hai. They had almost nothing to do here. As long as they kept contact with their family and be polite to Zhao Hai, everything was alright. Because of this, they had a lot of time to practice, which was very good for them.

After eating, Bingya and the others returned to their room. They wanted to communicate with their clan and ask about what just happened.

Zhao Hai didn't care about them. After eating, he went back to his room as he sat drinking tea and looking at the screen. The screen wasn't showing the situation with the foreign races, instead it showed the O'Neal family's base.

The base construction of the O'Neal family was very quick. Although they didn't use magic, their specially designed magic armors made things very convenient.

The base was enormous and the area around it has been levelled. Except for the advance base that was built at the center, the area around it also had beginning stages of construction. These were prepared for the future.

The O'Neal family's commodities were also beginning to be transported to the Taurus Continent. It's good since the spatial rift was located in the Radiant Empire. Surrounding the rift on three sides was water. Allowing the O'Neal family to move easily.

The O'Neal family's Patriarch didn't immediately leave. Instead, he remained in the Rosen Empire. He wanted to wait for the opportune time before moving. After all, moving the family's base was a strategically crucial decision.

Laura was sitting besides Zhao Hai. After taking a sip of her tea, she turned her head to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, why are we waiting? Shouldn't we make a move?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "We don't need to do anything right now. Let's just wait here and rest for a few days. To be honest, besides this place, nothing else in the Divine Realm interests me."

Laura nodded. The other places in the Divine Realm were already insignificant to them. What's left for them to do was to acquire the 11 combat suits as well as Elder Star's Star Disk. As soon as they get these things, the Divine Realm was no longer worth paying attention to.

Lizzy was also looking at the O'Neal family. After some time, she turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Big Brother Hai, do you think the O'Neal family has an Ascension Magic Armor?"

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Currently, I don't know. But now, the magic armors that they have are only up to G.o.d-rank. These magic armors are now useless to us. These magic armors are almost the same. Moreover, their materials aren't that special. Acquiring higher ranked magic armors would be much harder."

Laura nodded and said, "We already have a lot of formations inside the s.p.a.ce. However, we still don't have the means to digest them. We can use these formations on other things, but not on magic armors."

Zhao Hai nodded, "After dealing with the nine Supreme Elders, our next target would be the Atlanta Plane's Ascension Magic Armor."

Laura replied, "Right, I also think that we should go to the Atlanta Plane first. If the magic armor is really useful to us, then that would be the best."

Zhao Hai nodded, "The reason I don't want to go to the Underworld was because I can feel a sense of strangeness there. It's possible that there are even more powerful beings than the Skeleton King. Because of this, I plan to head to the Atlanta Plane first."

Megan seemed puzzled as she asked, "Elder Brother Hai, you mean that the Skeleton King isn't a top existence in the Underworld? But didn't you say that the Skeleton King could compare to the Supreme Elders? If the Underworld had stronger beings, then why would they still be in a lower realm?"

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "This I don't know. I just feel like that Underworld isn't simple. Because of this, we need to be completely prepared for our safety. I have a feeling that entering the Underworld would be much worse than entering the Cultivation Realm. It might even be more dangerous."

When Megan and the other heard this, their expression couldn't help but change. Although Zhao Hai said that it was just a feeling, those who were with him for a long time knew that Zhao Hai's instinct was sometimes very accurate.

Laura nodded and said, "Alright. After we take care of the matters here, then we'll head to the Atlanta Plane to take a look. Brother Hai, when do we start leading the O'Neal family to the Winged Pegasus Plane? I'm starting to get annoyed at the Winged Pegasus."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Forget it, just leave them for now, there's no need to be annoyed. Just take a rest. We might have a tough battle in the following days."

Laura smiled and said, "If it's tough even for you, then there's no need for us to join in. You can just solve it alone. You can take a rest Brother Hai, you can leave us here to watch."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Alright, I'll go take bath first then rest."

After saying that, Zhao Hai went to the Hot Spring.

Completely different from the leisurely Zhao Hai were the foreign races. The three Patriarchs had come together to discuss their situation.

The Beastman Patriarch looked at the other two and said, "What do you think about this matter? What is the meaning of Zhao Hai's reaction?"

The Dwarf Patriarch said, "I already said before that the plan won't work. Zhao Hai is here to help us, but instead you want to demonstrate your authority. I won't be able to help you if he goes away due to anger."

The Elven Patriarch looked at the Dwarf Patriarch and said, "Alright, there's no use arguing at this point. We need Zhao Hai to help us deal with the nine Supreme Elders. However, if Zhao Hai doesn't come, will the nine Supreme Elders still attack us? From what I can see, the biggest enemy of the nine Supreme Elders aren't us, but Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai is now about to destroy the Divines. If the nine Supreme Elders kept attacking us, then shouldn't Zhao Hai appear?"

The Dwarf replied, "Let me ask, what have we done to help Zhao Hai? Why would he help us? Right, we got in contact with the va.s.sal races and let them rebel. However, we all know that the impact of the rebellion is only very small. Zhao Hai doesn't need our help. He can deal with the Divines on his own. In this case, do you think he had feelings towards us?"

The Beastmen Patriarch coldly snorted and said, "Alright, we wanted to demonstrate our power but instead lowering our position. Now that this had happened, we should think about how we can make Zhao Hai come back and help us. I think this is a good opportunity for Zhao Hai, he shouldn't let this go. Zhao Hai understands that the nine Supreme Elders are his biggest enemies. He needs to concede a lot of things in order to face them. Because of this, despite knowing about our plan, he still came to support us. As long as we can please Zhao Hai, he will certainly come back."

The Elven Patriarch actually knit her brows and said, "How about we ask Yehta and the others about Zhao Hai's reaction? Let's see if we still have an opportunity to bring Zhao Hai back. What do you think?"

The Beastman Patriarch nodded and said, "We should ask them. They followed behind Zhao Hai for a long time. Zhao Hai shouldn't place them in an awkward situation." The other two nodded. At this time, the Beastman Patriarch's messenger fish suddenly sounded.

Chapter 953 – Not Planning To Go Back

The Beastman Patriarch stared for a moment before holding his messenger fish. The messenger fish was connected to Bingya, the Beastman Patriarch quickly said, "Bingya, what happened?"

When Bingya heard the Patriarch's voice, his anger couldn't help but flare up again. However, he still replied, "Patriarch, why did you treat Mister Zhao Hai like that? He is very angry."

Upon hearing Bingya's inquiry, The Patriarch calmly replied, "Bingya, you should know your ident.i.ty. You are a Beastman. You should consider our race first, not outsiders."

It was at this point that Bingya angrily replied, "Is the Patriarch being responsible for our clan? Mister Zhao Hai said that the reason the nine Supreme Elders attacked us is because we dispatched troops to the Leo Continent. They attacked us because they want us to retrieve our troops. If our army doesn't turn back to help us, then the Supreme Elders would return to the Leo Continent in order to eliminate the army. Wouldn't that cause huge losses to the clan? Has the Patriarch thought about this?" Along the last lines of his statement, Bingya was almost roaring. Normally, he wouldn't have the guts to do so. Beastmen were stern people. Daring to talk to the Patriarch like this was a deadly sin. However, since Bingya was quite angry, he couldn't help but berate the Patriarch.

The Beastman Patriarch and the other two Patriarch couldn't help but stare when Bingya roared. Then their expression changed. They knew that if what Bingya said was true, then their army in the Leo Continent would suffer under the Supreme Elders.

But the Beastman Patriarch recovered as he immediately replied, "Bingya, don't say useless things. How is Zhao Hai now? He really doesn't want to help us?"

When he heard the Patriarch, Bingya replied, "He shouldn't for a while. But as long as the Patriarch asks Mister, he should go back. However, the Patriarch needs to be fast. Otherwise, if Mister Zhao Hai is gone, then our loss would be great."

When the Patriarch heard this, he said, "Wait a moment." Then he turned to the two patriarchs and said, "What do you two think about this?"

The Dwarf Patriarch said, "What else can we do, we need to ask him back. Pleasing someone as strong as Zhao Hai isn't a disgrace. If Zhao Hai doesn't care about our situation, then the one suffering losses would be us. Moreover, the nine Supreme Elders have no means to deal with him. Do you think that the foreign races could fight like Zhao Hai? If we push him away, then we would only harm ourselves with no benefits."

Although the Elven Patriarch was arrogant, she wasn't a fool, so she nodded and said, "We were indeed excessive this time. We need to ask Zhao Hai to come back. Nothing is more important than the lives of our clansmen. And with Zhao Hai's help, our troops would be able to deal with the Leo Continent, providing us with a new good territory. Meanwhile, the va.s.sal races would seep into their own continents. In the end, we would not have any problems keeping our continent."

The Beastman Patriarch nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll go ask him. In any case, the one who will benefit the most would be us." The Dwarf Patriarch didn't reply. Although we wasn't happy about this, he also knew that it was good for their people. He wouldn't deny anything that could benefit his race.

After seeing that n.o.body wanted to add anything, the Beastman Patriarch nodded and said, "Alright, let's go and prepare. We'll ask Bingya where they currently are and then we'll go see them."

The Dwarf Patriarch and the Elf Patriarch nodded before leaving the Beastman Patriarch's room. After returning to their respective rooms, they immediately took their messenger fish out to ask whether the situation was indeed as Bingya said.

However, they didn't think that Bingya and the others were now acting as one. While Bingya was talking to the Beastman Patriarch, Ryder and Yehta were also with him. Because of this, they heard everything that Bingya said to the Beastman Patriarch. So they didn't say anything wrong when asked.

When the two put their messenger fishes down, they looked at each other and sighed. Bingya looked at the two and said, "I'm actually surprised. I thought our three races were very close. I didn't expect the alliance to waver over a small thing." Ryder sighed, then he turned to the two and said, "To tell you the truth, after this even, I'm won't be heading back to the clan. I'm prepared to follow mister along with my family. I feel like following Mister would make my family more comfortable. At least Mister doesn't use condescending tones when speaking to us. Moreover, he doesn't seem to be eager in manipulating people for benefit."

Ryder's words made Bingya and Yehta stunned. The three of them had some prestige in their clans and they were quite famous. They were even called geniuses by some people. However, they were clear that there were more geniuses like them in the clan. The only reason these geniuses weren't famous was because they haven't had any merits to their name yet. This wasn't because they were lazy, nor was it because they couldn't take hards.h.i.+ps. In the battle against the Divine Race, these geniuses died because of the decisions made by their own side.

In the beginning, Ryder didn't think that the world would be this dark. However, the deeper he understood the matters of the world, the more he was made aware of the truth. Because of this, he was cautious whenever he handled affairs. He didn't dare to be arrogant nor bear a deep grudge. Otherwise, a day would come when he would suffer the consequences of his decisions.

To be honest, to those who were ambitious, they would just treat this danger as a game. If they win, then they would be rewarded. But if they lose, then they would die.

However, Ryder wasn't this kind of person. He belonged to the kind of people who want their family to grow and develop. Because of this, he was very uncomfortable when it came to plots. He already had too much of it in his life.

But he couldn't fully divorce themselves from this life since he already entered the circle. Only dead people can get away from this. Even if you held great power, as long a you enter this circle, you still couldn't guarantee that you can retire from it.

Now, Ryder finally found an opportunity for him to remove himself from such a life, and that was with Zhao Hai. With Zhao Hai's strength, he wouldn't be afraid of retaliation from the foreign races. Moreover, they had followed Zhao Hai for some time, so Ryder beleived that Zhao Hai already understood them. Because of this, he opened this matter up with Bingya and Yehta.

Bingya looked at Ryder and said, "Have you really thought this through? If you did, then let's not think about whether your family agrees or not, instead, think about the other Dwarves. You will be offending them."

Ryder nodded, "I have thought about it. I will ask Mister tomorrow and see if he will agree. If he does, then I will find a way to move my family."  Bingya looked at Ryder and said, "Alright, I'll ask Mister as well. Yehta, you're with us right?"

Yehta looked at the two and smiled, "Of course, you can count me in. Why would I want to be left behind? Let's not wait until tomorrow, let's go now."

Just as her voice fell, Zhao Hai's voice was heard, "Hahaha. There's no need to look for me. I've waited for this day for a long time."

The three stared, then they saw Zhao Hai walked into their room. The three stared for a moment before they quickly got up and bowed. Then Bingya asked, "Mister, why did you come here?" Zhao Hai looked at the three and said, "I heard your words. What's wrong? Surprised? Don't forget, your inside my h.e.l.l King's s.h.i.+p. Nothing can evade my sight inside the s.h.i.+p."

As soon as the three heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but gawk. Zhao Hai looked at the three and smiled, "I don't listen to your conversations all the time. But today is an exception. I know that you would talk to your Patriarchs. I just want to know the reactions of your clans. To be honest, their conduct disappointed me. However, you three made me glad."

Bingya couldn't help but get embarra.s.sed, then he asked, "So Mister agrees with our request?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Agree, of course I agree. After the fight, you can go and take your families to the s.h.i.+p. I will arrange a good place for them, you can rest a.s.sured."

Bingya looked at Zhao Hai, but he was still uncertain so he asked, "MIster, if I may ask, did you send the Demons and the Divines to that place? From what I can a.s.sume, you didn't arrange them at the same place as the Ark Continent. So where did they go?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "This is my biggest secret. Since you asked, I can only tell you that it is an absolutely safe place. If you want to go, then I can take you over there to have a look. However, you need to pledge to your heart's demon that without my permission you cannot tell anyone about this matter."

Zhao Hai knew that for Bingya and the others, the binding force of a Blood Oath would be too weak. Fortunately, he was made aware of the Heart's Demon Oath. The restraint of this oath is very strong. As long as one cultivates and pledges to a Heart's Demon Oath, then once they violate their oath, they will be possessed by a Devil and die.
