Last time, the Medicine King Sect had attacked him while the Vast Earth Empire watched from the sidelines. This time, the Medicine King Sect was attacking the Vast Earth Empire, and the Huo Family and the Wine Immortal Sect had become the spectators.
When they had attacked him, Huo Hai had needed no help from the Vast Earth Empire. All he had needed to do was create large numbers of skeletons. Although both sides had suffered enormous losses throughout the fighting, those losses had merely been expendable tools. Very few actual people had been lost. The most serious casualties had been the injuries Huo Hai and the Medicine King Sect's three experts sustained in the final battle.
The Medicine King Sect's three injured experts had now been sent back to the sect's headquarters to recuperate. They would not be coming out again anytime soon.
Things were different for the Vast Earth Empire as it faced the exotic beast army this time. They could not create skeletons themselves. They wanted to buy enough skeletons from Huo Hai, but how could he agree to that? He simply reduced the share allocated to the Vast Earth Empire.
If not for concerns about his reputation, Huo Hai would not even have wanted to sell skeletons to the Vast Earth Empire. However, he only reduced the empire's share, leaving those of the other major sects unchanged. This was not because he wanted to help the Vast Earth Empire through its difficulties, but because he wanted to divide it. The empire's interior was already a chaotic hodgepodge.
Once cracks appeared in their relationships, the Vast Earth Empire's eventual destruction would become all the easier. Huo Hai had not gone to the battlefield, but he still had several Star Gu observing from the air, watching the situation
