Zhong Busan nodded and said, “Alright, go do your best.”

Zhao Hai nodded. Then he returned to the jar and held it with his hands. He rotated the jar gently and slowly. As Zhao Hai was rotating the jar, he listened to the noise it was making. He changed direction from time to time. The jar made a grinding noise as this was going on. Before long, there was a click and then the jar began to rise. When it rose around a meter high, a row of steps was revealed.

Seeing the row of stairs, Zhong Busan showed a satisfied nod and said, “Good. Zhao Ling, I’ll remember your contribution. You will be rewarded when we return.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Thank you, gang leader.”

Zhong Busan nodded. Then he waved his hand and commanded the Ghost Child Gang experts to enter the passage. All experts were at the Earth Monarch Stage. They were the true elites of the gang.

More than a dozen people entered the passage. Before Zhong Busan entered, he turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Zhao Ling, stay here.”

Zhao Hai nodded. Not long after Zhong Busan entered the passage, the sound of fighting was heard. Then it suddenly became quiet.

As Zhao Hai stood at the entrance of the underground passage, he muttered, “It seems like the Green Zombie Gang did run away.”

After some time, a figure appeared from the secret passage. Zhao Hai focused his eyes and saw that it was someone he didn’t know. However, they had a Ghost Child Gang identity token on their waist.

Zhao Hai bowed and said, “I have seen Senior Brother.”

The cultivator looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, “So it’s Junior Brother Zhao Ling. You made a great contribution. The gang’s elite disciples and their supreme elder are in the passage. They were preparing to escape. Fortunately, we were able to catch them. We didn’t expect the passage to be so long. Now that they’re dead, the Green Zombie Gang is officially over.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Our Ghost Child Gang will have two cities in the future.”

The cultivator smiled and said, “Correct. This time, your contribution is big. After we head back, the gang leader will certainly reward you heavily.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Then I’ll take advantage of Senior Brother’s words. If the Gang Leader rewards me, I’ll invite Senior Brother for a drink. May I know Senior Brother’s name? “

The cultivator smiled and said, “My name is Shen Yue.”

“Shen Yue?” As soon as he heard this name, Zhao Hai’s expression immediately changed. He immediately said, “I didn’t recognize Senior Brother Shen. I’ve been rude. Senior Brother, please forgive me.”

When Shen Yue heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh, “Alright, you don’t have to be polite. I’ll remember that you owe me a drink. I won’t forgive you if you forget.” After saying that, he laughed and then left.

Seeing Shen Yue, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but sigh. He didn’t expect to meet him this soon. Shen Yue was poised to be the next leader of the Ghost Child Gang. He was Zhong Busan’s personal disciple. A low-ranking disciple like Zhao Hai would have no way to contact him.

Zhao Hai didn’t know if this meeting was a good or a bad thing. It’s good because having a connection with Shen Yue meant that Zhao Hai wouldn’t be bullied in the gang. But this would only apply if Zhao Hai was a true member of the gang. Since Zhao Hai was a spy, then it might be a bad thing.

Zhao Hai waited at the entrance to the secret passage for a while before Zhong Busan led everyone back. Seeing that Zhao Hai was still there, Zhong Busan nodded and said, “Not bad. You’re still here. Let’s go.” Zhao Hai complied and followed behind the group. Then they walked towards Green Zombie City.

There was no longer any resistance in the city. The reason why the Green Zombie Gang loyalists kept fighting was because they were buying time for their Supreme Elder to bring the elite disciples out of the city. Nobody expected the secret passage to be found and unlocked by Zhao Hai.

After killing the Supreme Elder and the elite disciples, Zhong Busan’s group also used the secret passage to run behind the loyalists and wipe them out.

Green Zombie City has completely fallen into the hands of the Ghost Child Gang. Zhong Busan looked at the city with satisfaction.

Zhao Hai also looked over the city. It must be said that Green Zombie City was built quite well. It was even bigger than Ghost Child City. Although the battle between both sides caused destruction, the majority of the city remained untouched.

After looking over the city, Zhong Busan nodded. From time to time, he would discuss something with the elders around him. They were talking about what could be placed in the city and what should be changed.

Zhao Hai looked at Zhong Busan and couldn’t help but laugh inside. Zhong Busan’s present appearance was like an old farmer organizing their land and proudly showing it off to others.

After Zhong Busan scanned through the entire city, he finally went inside the Green Zombie Gang’s main hall. This was also where the most intense battle took place. Looking at the main hall of the Green Zombie Gang, Zhong Busan said, “From now on, the Green Zombie Gang doesn’t exist. This place will be a branch hall of the Ghost Child Gang. Also, I don’t like the name Green Zombie City, do any of you have any ideas?”

Upon hearing Zhong Busan, everyone stared and then looked at each other. Seeing everyone’s reaction, Zhong Busan said, “What? Nobody has any good ideas?”

Even so, nobody opened their mouths. Looking at everyone, Zhong Busan laughed and said, “You guys are really boring. You’re just coming up with a name, why so nervous? Since nobody has any ideas, then this city will be known as Blood Child City from now on. What do you think?

The word ‘blood’ wasn’t far from ‘ghost’. Moreover, during the refining of ghost children, their whole bodies would be red. Therefore, they could also be called blood children.

Naturally, nobody opposed Zhong Busan’s idea. Everyone cheered as Zhong Busan laughed along with them. He looked extremely proud.

The Ghost Child Gang destroying the Green Zombie Gang wasn’t a huge event in the underground world. Huge wars were common among Ghost Cultivators. A battle consisting only of two cities could be ignored. What people paid attention to the most was the movements of the sects, which disciple was killed, who the next sect master was, who deceived who, and so on.

Nevertheless, the gangs surrounding the Ghost Child Gang and the Green Zombie Gang definitely noticed what happened. The Green Zombie Gang has been dealt with in a perfect manner. This didn’t give the other gangs a chance to take advantage of the situation. Moreover, the Ghost Child Gang was notoriously known for being difficult to deal with. Therefore, the surrounding gangs could only observe.

After seizing Green Zombie City and renaming it into Blood Child City, the Ghost Child Gang began sending disciples to manage the city.

However, the Ghost Child Gang didn’t have a lot of members. Although the gang accepted those from the Green Zombie Gang, Zhong Busan didn’t trust them enough to stay in the city. The disciples of the Green Zombie Gang were too familiar with the city. If they stayed, then the city might fall into their hands once again.

Because of this, Zhong Busan sent every Green Zombie Gang cultivator back to Ghost Child City and divided them into the different halls. Meanwhile, the Ghost Child Gang recruited rogue cultivators en masse.

The Ghost Child Gang’s recruitment was huge news for the rogue cultivators in Ghost Child City. They quickly sharpened their skills to prepare for the recruitment. The Ghost Child Gang was also used to this situation. They began to set up a criteria for recruitment and chose people who passed. A large part of the newcomers was directly sent to Green Zombie City.

Because of the recruitment, the population of the Ghost Child Gang experienced a huge boost. At this time, Zhong Busan rarely had any free time. He began to reorganize the gang. Only in this way could the gang return to its rigid state as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Zhao Hai began to conduct his other plan. He was able to gain a huge merit during the battle against the Green Zombie Gang. Naturally, the gang wouldn’t mistreat him. Zhao Hai’s rewards were very rich. He obtained a lot of cultivation materials.

Zhao Hai looked overjoyed when he saw the reward. Then he immediately returned to his courtyard to close up. The Ghost Child Gang didn’t pay too much attention to Zhao Hai. Ordinary cultivators like Zhao Ling normally couldn’t obtain cultivation materials. So, when they obtain a large number of them, they would immediately close up. This was to be expected.

However, Zhao Hai wasn’t really happy about the resources he gained. The gang would never have the resources that Zhao Hai needs. Even if he just ascended from the lower realms, Zhao Hai would still ignore these resources. What Zhao Hai was happy about was the chance to disappear from everyone’s eyes for a few days.

After announcing his seclusion, Zhao Hai left a clone in his courtyard and then went back to Coiling Dragon City. He met with Laura and the others for a discussion on how to begin their revenge against the underground world.

Among the Ghost Cultivators who attacked the Tyrant Blade Sect were people from the Water Ghost Sect. This sect was quite interesting. The souls used by them were souls from people who drowned. Because of this, the people from the Water Ghost Sect were very good at using water element spells. Zhao Hai’s target was this sect.

The Water Ghost Sect wasn’t an extraordinary sect in the underground world. They could only be described as a medium-grade sect. The reason the Water Ghost Sect dared to attack the Tyrant Blade Sect was because they were only among the many sects who attacked.

But no matter what, the Water Ghost Sect participated in the attack against the Tyrant Blade Sect. Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn’t let them off. Also, dealing with such a sect wouldn’t cause huge waves in the underground world. Great Sects of the underground world wouldn’t care about those lower than them. Even if an entire small sect was wiped out, the Great Sects wouldn’t feel anything. On the contrary, the destruction of a sect meant a possible expansion of the sects around them. If the Water Ghost Sect was eliminated, its surrounding sects would be happy.

Zhao Hai now has time to act. Ghost Cultivators in the underground world were also cultivators. Their seclusion was both long and short depending on the situation. Ordinary cultivators would retreat for at least a few months with a few breaks in between. There were also cultivators who would cultivate until they break through, otherwise they would die in their seclusion. Cultivators who could do this were enviable, but also pitiful.

With the rewards he gained, Zhao Hai calculated that his seclusion could last for several months. Although it was impossible to achieve a breakthrough in this time frame, it was enough to show people that he had gotten stronger.

Zhao Hai was now scouting the Water Ghost Sect. The sect was located in a special location. Its headquarters was on an island in the middle of a huge lake. To reach the Water Ghost Sect, one would need to traverse the lake. However, the lake had a lot of water ghosts. These water ghosts were raised by the sect to monitor the lake. Because of this, monitoring the sect wasn’t easy.

However, this difficulty was nothing to Zhao Hai. He could communicate with the lake and became part of it. This would allow him to travel smoothly across the river. But as soon as Zhao Hai entered the lake, he immediately felt a cold. It wasn’t his senses who felt this, it was the lake who felt cold.
