In general, the two forces under Zhao Hai's control had a huge difference in strength. One was the sea exploration sect, which was ranked in the middle in the sword spirits "world and wasn't weak. The other was the monk gathering sect, which had just been built and could be said to be the lowest existence in the sword spirits" world.
Now, the development of these two places was completely different. What the sea exploration sect needed was to lay low and not do anything out of the ordinary. While all the major sects were focused on the ruins of the city in the sky, they could develop in peace for a while. It would be best if they could complete the thousand swords boat.
Monk gathering sect, on the other hand, needed to develop and speed up its development. The development of monk gathering sect was actually very simple. It was nothing more than annexing the other small sects around it. As long as they annexed all the small sects, they would naturally be able to develop.
