Zhao Hai also noticed the expressions of Xiao Bingya and the others, but he didn't say anything. He simply greeted them and sat down on the deck.
Before long, Meg brought out various foods from the room and placed them on the table. Zhao Hai poured wine for Meg and the others, and waited for Laura and the others to sit down before raising his glass to Xiao Bingya and saying, "Bingya, you’ve seen the situation today. It’s not my fault regarding this matter. However, regardless of anything, I will not let the nine great elders of the divine race off easily, you can rest assured."
What more could Xiao Bingya say? They could only smile bitterly. To be honest, Zhao Hai not saying that he would no longer concern himself with the matters of their otherworldly divine race was already showing them a lot of consideration. Anyone in this situation, receiving such treatment, would not feel good.
After drinking a cup of wine, Zhao Hai continued, "We're not just waiting for the people from your otherworldly divine race to come find us here. We are also here to prevent the nine great elders of the divine race from leaving. This area is a necessary sea route to the Lion Continent. As long as we wait here, we don’t have to worry about the nine great elders escaping. Even if they give up attacking the Otherworldly Divine Continent, we can still intercept them here."
Xiao Bingya nodded and raised his glass to Zhao Hai, saying, "Sir, I'm sorry. I didn't know such things would happen. Please forgive me."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "Forget it, this idea wasn't yours anyway. I don’t think you could come up with such a ridiculous idea. Alright, let’s eat. You've all been cultivating these days; how has your practice been going?"
Hearing Zhao Hai mention this, the three of them suddenly perked up. To say what had pleased them most recently, it was indeed their cultivation progress. Their strengths had already reached the peak of divine-level experts, and they were half a step into the realm of supreme divine-level experts. However, not many people in their clan were aware of this situation.
Following Zhao Hai had indeed brought them many benefits. At the very least, their cultivation speed was much faster than when they practiced within their clan.
The three of them also knew that in their clan, it was impossible to cultivate as freely as they could on the Darkness King. Their clan had various matters to deal with, and there were some tasks that they, as squad leaders, had to undertake. Every time they took on a task, it would delay their cultivation time, but those tasks couldn’t be refused either, or they would face penalties. However, things were different with Zhao Hai; they hardly had any other matters to worry about, only responsible for communication between Zhao Hai and the clan, allowing them ample time to cultivate. This was truly a rare opportunity for them.
After finishing their meal, Xiao Bingya and the others returned to their rooms. They wanted to communicate with the people from their clan and inquire about why today’s events had unfolded in such a way.
Zhao Hai paid them no mind. After the meal, he returned to his space, sitting there drinking tea and watching the screen. The screen was not currently showing the situation in the Otherworldly Divine Continent, but rather the base of the O'Neill family.
The O'Neill family’s base was being built quite rapidly. Although they couldn’t use magic, they had a large number of specialized mechas specifically designed for construction, making the work very efficient.
The base they established was quite massive. The ground had been leveled, and aside from the base that Rex had established in the center, other areas were still in the initial stages of development, preparing for future use.
All the resources from the O'Neill family began to migrate to the Taurus Continent, and fortunately, the spatial rift was located near the kingdom of light, surrounded by the sea on three sides, making the relocation much easier for the O'Neill family.
