CHAPTER SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY-TWO: PREPARATIONS TO MOVE
Zhao Hai sat on the ship, looking at the animal skin scroll in his hand. There wasn't much to see; he could recite everything on that scroll backward. However, now it had the signature and special markings of the spirit race.
The matters with the spirit clan had been resolved. Over a hundred hidden chambers had been uncovered within the spirit race, which greatly enraged the Lady King of the spirit race. She never expected that the Church of Light would send so many spies into the spirit race. The thought that these people could suddenly explode during a battle with the Church of Light, with the power equivalent to a ninth-level expert's full strike, sent chills down her spine.
Now, Zhao Hai had gained another identity as a foreign elder of the spirit race. However, he didn't care much about it now. The issues with the spirit race had been settled, and it was time to move on to the next step: dealing with the Dragon Clan!
Billy, sitting next to Zhao Hai, saw him put away the scroll and smiled, "Now you've become a foreign elder of the spirit race. You’re one of a kind on the continent."
Zhao Hai chuckled, "It's just the timing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have so many identities. This time, things went relatively smoothly. Not only did we help the spirit race repair their divine artifact, but we also identified the traitors. Now we can proceed to the next step."
Billy looked at Zhao Hai and asked, "The Dragon Clan?"
Zhao Hai nodded, "Yes, the Dragon Clan. We must eliminate them. Their current position is crucial for us; we can't wait any longer. I have a bad premonition that something is about to happen on the continent. You all need to be careful."
Billy nodded, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. We will be cautious. But you must be careful too; you're facing the Dragon Clan."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I will be fine." Billy knew some of Zhao Hai's abilities, so he wasn't worried about his safety.
Five days later, Zhao Hai returned to the dwarf clan. He rested for a day in the clan and left the next morning, ready to make a move against the Dragon Clan.
Although Zhao Hai had been at the spirit race and the dwarf clan for days, he hadn't been idle. He had Laura control the Evil Spirit Blood Staff, monitoring the Dragon Clan's movements in the Leon Empire.
Not only in the Leon Empire, but Zhao Hai also sent the Evil Spirit Staff to Aklaya Mountain to check on Dragon Mountain's situation.
The Dragon Clan had claimed to be invincible on the continent, and Zhao Hai didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless. Fortunately, as long as he kept the map in his space, he could monitor Dragon Mountain and the Leon Empire at any time.
For many years, the Dragon Clan had scarcely appeared on the continent. They had been operating from Aklaya Mountain, almost turning it into an independent kingdom. Moreover, they had numerous magical beasts and the Sub-Dragon Clan under their command, making it no easier to deal with them than any major empire.
Zhao Hai's plan was to first deal with the Dragon Clan in the Leon Empire, also known as the Holy Dragon Dynasty, before launching an attack on Aklaya Mountain.
He didn't inform any nation on the continent about this plan; only the orc tribe, sea tribe, spirit race, and dwarf clan knew about it.
Zhao Hai wasn't afraid of these foreign races knowing, as traitors among them were few. With the divine artifacts, the major clans had eradicated the rebellious elements within them. Besides, the Church of Light couldn't possibly deploy spies in the sea tribe, as their situation was too unique. Even a ninth-level expert would be quickly discovered there, making it impossible to capture any mermaids.
After leaving the dwarf clan, Zhao Hai immediately entered his space. For the past few days, Laura and the others had been keeping an eye on the Dragon Clan's movements. Although the Dragon Clan currently controlled the entire Leon Empire, gaining the acceptance of the ordinary populace would still take a long time. The human race could collaborate with another family to defeat the Leon family and rule over them, but getting them to accept the Dragon Clan's rule was a different matter.
