Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15841

Chapter 15839. Reporting

The External Affairs Hall is specifically set up for ordinary disciples. They can receive missions here, and if they make any discoveries while on missions, they can also report them here. The reports from disciples are then relayed up the chain of command, making the External Affairs Hall extremely important for lower-level disciples.

The area where Qin Luo and his group are located is the residential area for lower-level disciples. The External Affairs Hall here is quite large, as many lower-level disciples come here to receive missions. The External Affairs Hall has four floors, each covering an area of about a thousand square meters, making it a very large building.

The first floor is where missions are received and submitted, the second floor is where special missions are issued, the third floor is where disciples report incidents encountered while out on missions, and the fourth floor is where some members of the External Affairs Hall work.

Qin Luo went straight to the third floor. The third floor consisted of individual rooms, unlike the lobby on the first floor. Qin Luo went directly to a room and knocked. A voice from inside said, “Come in.” Qin Luo pushed the door

open and went inside. Upon entering the room, Qin Luo saw two people sitting behind a counter. The man and woman were seated. The man appeared to be in his fifties, with graying hair and a serious expression, but his eyes were green, giving him a strange look. The woman,

on the other hand, looked to be only in her twenties, very beautiful, but her expression was cold, and her eyes were vertical pupils like a snake’s.

As soon as Qin Luo entered, the man greeted him, “Is there something you need? Come and sit down.”

Qin Luo responded and walked to the man’s counter, where a chair was placed. He pulled out a chair and sat down, then said, “Elder, when I went to the Demon Blade Sect to order a sword, I discovered something that I think is very important, so I came to report it.”

The man nodded, then picked up a piece of paper and a pen, and said to Qin Luo, “Tell me in detail.”

Qin Luo responded and then said, “It’s like this, I’m using a sword, but my previous sword was becoming somewhat unwieldy. Later I obtained…” “I had a Shadow Stone, so I decided to order a new sword and get rid of my old one. I went to the Demon Blade Sect. Everything was normal when I disposed of the old sword, and it was normal when I ordered the new one. But when I came out after ordering the new sword, I encountered a disciple of the Demon Blade Sect, and I discovered something strange about that disciple.”

He paused here, and the man glanced at him, knowing he was being mysterious. He didn’t give Qin Luo a friendly look. He had worked there for many years, and disciples came every day to tell all sorts of stories, but not many of them were true. He was used to it.

Seeing the man’s expression, Qin Luo stopped beating around the bush and said, “After I finished ordering the longswords, I went downstairs from their building. On my way down, I encountered a disciple of the Demon Blade Sect. He was carrying several longswords upstairs. At first, I didn’t notice, but then I noticed one of the longswords had cut his arm. I was pointing it out to him when I discovered something very strange. I saw that the longsword had cut a long wound on his arm, but strangely, the man seemed to feel nothing, and there was no bleeding.”

Qin Luo paused again, and this time the man listened more attentively and began writing on a piece of paper. Seeing that he had stopped, the man finally asked, “And then?”

Qin Luo replied, “I… ” Seeing the man’s appearance reminded me of corpse refining. Only refined corpses don’t feel pain or bleed, so I paid attention. I stayed at the inn outside their Demon Blade Sect. When they finished work that night, I followed the man to his courtyard. In the middle of the night, I sneaked into his courtyard and used sleeping potion to knock him out. Then I carefully observed the Demon Blade Sect member. I found that the wound on his arm was indeed not bleeding and had been treated, but only patched up, without any medicine. I also noticed that although he was breathing and had a heartbeat, he had no life force, and his skin felt as cold as a dead man’s.

The man and the woman were both captivated by Qin Luo’s words. The man remembered them very carefully, and the woman pricked up her ears.

Qin Luo continued, “After leaving that man’s courtyard, I rested for a night and thought about it all night. I felt that the man’s situation was very strange. I had to report this to the sect, but I was also worried that it was an isolated case, so I waited another day. That night, I followed another disciple of the Demon Blade Sect to his courtyard. This time, they lived in a large courtyard with three people inside. That night, I used sleeping incense to knock them out, then sneaked into their room and carefully observed them. I found that their conditions were all the same: they were breathing, had heartbeats, but were not alive, and their skin was as cold as a dead person’s. At this point, I was certain that this was not an isolated case. In the following days, while waiting for the Long Blade Sect, I observed the people of the Demon Blade Sect. I found that they could act like normal people…” They communicate in this way, they can speak, they can cultivate, and outwardly they look the same as normal people. But if you get close to them, you’ll find that they have no life, their skin is as cold as a corpse. I call this state of being the living dead. I observed the situation of dozens of disciples of the Demon Blade Sect in those days, both men and women, and their condition was all the same. Therefore, I have every reason to believe that everyone in the Demon Blade Sect has become like that. Now I just don’t know whether they became like that voluntarily or involuntarily. If they became like that voluntarily, then it means that they must have had some way of transforming themselves into that state. If they became like that involuntarily, then it means that someone transformed them into that state. I think that no matter which possibility it is, our sect must take it seriously.”

The man wrote down everything Qin Luo said. He finished writing after Qin Luo finished speaking, then handed the paper to Qin Luo and said, “Take a close look and see if what I wrote is correct.”

Qin Luo took the paper, looked at it carefully, and found that everything written on it was correct. He immediately nodded and said, “Yes, everything is correct.”

The man said, “That’s good. Sign here. The situation you reported is indeed noteworthy. I will report this matter immediately.” Qin Luo responded, then took the pen the man handed him and signed the paper.

After he finished signing, the man put the paper away and said to Qin Luo, “Go back now. The sect will send someone to verify what you said. If it is confirmed that what you said is true, the sect will definitely reward you.” Qin Luo responded, then stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the man and woman, and then turned and left.

After Qin Luo left, the man immediately said to the woman, “Keep an eye on things here. I’ll report this immediately. He’s right, this must be reported.”

The woman responded, and then the man left. He went up to the fourth floor and reported the matter. The fourth floor was where the elder in charge of the Foreign Affairs Hall was located. After seeing Qin Luo’s report, he took it very seriously and immediately reported it to his superiors again. Finally, after going through layers of reporting, the paper recording Qin Luo’s report was placed on the desk of the Hell Gate Master.

The Hell Gate Master picked up the paper and glanced at its contents. His eyes lit up. You see, there was a secret experiment within the Hell Gate, one that many people were unaware of. Very few people in the entire Hell Gate knew about it. This experiment was about how to refine a corpse while preserving its intelligence and memories of its previous life. In fact, this was an alternative method for seeking help from elders.

The people of Hell’s Gate discovered that no matter how strong you are, even if you reach the Kingdom level, you will ultimately die. They pursue the path to immortality, and since normal cultivation couldn’t grant them longevity, they had to find other methods. So they conceived of this method: to see if they could refine people into battle corpses. Battle corpses, theoretically, can live forever unless killed, which is why they had been conducting such experiments.

However, after so many years, they hadn’t succeeded. But now, upon seeing this news, the leader of Hell’s Gate was greatly encouraged; he felt that their years of experiments might finally yield results.

Thinking of this, he immediately said, “Someone come here.” A disciple immediately entered, bowing to him. He immediately said, “Invite the hall masters of each branch.”

The disciple responded and immediately went to fetch them. Before long, all the hall masters of the Hell Gate’s branch arrived at the sect leader’s study. After the sect leader invited them to sit down, he directly handed them the paper and said, “Take a look, all of you. This is intelligence brought in by a disciple.”

The hall masters took turns reading the contents of the paper. After they finished reading, a hint of excitement appeared on their faces. Upon hearing the contents of the document, one of the hall masters spoke up, “Sect Master, if this is true, then we have a chance at immortality. I think we should immediately send troops to the Demon Blade Sect and wipe them out, then force them to reveal why they became like that.”

The other elders all nodded in agreement. However, the Sect Master frowned upon hearing their words and said, “Nonsense! That would only alert them. We must proceed step by step. I think we should first send someone to the Demon Blade Sect to investigate and see if the people there have truly become living dead, as that disciple claimed. If it is true, then we can take further action.”
