Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15844
Chapter 15842. Division of Halls
The Demon Blade Sect Master hurriedly nodded and said, “Yes, Supreme Elder, it’s because of these skeletons. We haven’t had these skeletons for very long, only about a year. We’ve conducted some experiments. As long as these skeletons are placed outside, everyone within a hundred miles will slowly turn into living dead within ten days. We can feel, but we can’t feel pain, and we can breathe and have a heartbeat. We can cultivate, but the vitality in our bodies will slowly disappear. In fact, it’s not just that; the flesh and blood in our bodies will also slowly disappear.” After speaking, the Demon Blade Sect Master moved his hand. He took out a small magic array from his body and then turned it off. Just as he turned off the magic array, a skeleton appeared in front of Elder Wu. Elder Wu and Elder Wan were both startled.
At this moment, the skeleton spoke, “In about ten days, the skeletons will turn us into the living dead. Even if we don’t stay near those skeletons, after three months, we will slowly turn into skeletons as well, and our heartbeats and breathing will disappear. We don’t know what state we are in now, but we have discovered that we have gained an ability similar to immortality. Even if our bodies are cut open, they will slowly regenerate and we will not die. However, if our heads are smashed, we will still die. This is why we dare not fight against you, the Supreme Elders.” The other elders of the Demon Blade Sect also deactivated the magic arrays on their bodies, and they all turned into skeletons.
Elder Wu looked at them and was surprised to find that they were truly just skeletons. He looked at the Demon Blade Sect Master and asked, “If you are injured, how will you recover?” The
Demon Blade Sect Master replied, “It’s simple. As long as our heads aren’t shattered, we only need some spiritual energy to recover.” As he spoke, he reached out his right hand and grabbed his left arm. With a snap, his left arm broke off. He then tossed it far away, but the next moment, it flew back to him like a fledgling returning to its nest, reattached itself, and the broken part automatically repaired, as if it had never been broken at all.
This change startled Elder Wu and Elder Wan, but their eyes lit up. They didn’t care if they turned into skeletons. Some people who practiced demonic techniques could turn into all sorts of things, like the Yin Corpse Sect, who cultivated themselves to look like dried corpses. They weren’t necessarily any better than skeletons. But the Yin Corpse Sect didn’t have that ability, which is why they did it this way.
Elder Wu looked at the people of the Demon Blade Sect and suddenly asked, “If we put an unbreakable helmet on you, would you be impossible to kill?”
The Demon Blade Sect Master shook his head and said, “Not necessarily. If our bodies are shattered too much, our spiritual energy simply cannot restore them, and we will still die. In other words, our bodies can only recover because of spiritual energy. Once the damage to our bodies exceeds the restorative capacity of our spiritual energy, we will die.”
Elder Wu nodded and then asked, “How is your cultivation progressing now? Can you still cultivate your previous techniques after becoming skeletons?” The
Demon Blade Sect Master nodded and said, “Yes, no problem. Our cultivation is almost unaffected.”
Elder Wu became even more curious. He looked at the twelve skeletons and then said, “So you used these skeletons to…” “Have all the people turned into the living dead?”
The Demon Blade Sect Master nodded, then explained, “These skeletons can be used separately, but the influence range of each skeleton will be smaller. Twelve skeletons together have an influence range of a hundred miles, and it only takes ten days to turn someone into the living dead. However, if these skeletons are separated, the influence range of each skeleton is only thirty miles, and it will take twenty days to turn someone into the living dead. We don’t want the disciples of the Demon Blade Sect to discover our transformation, so we want to turn all the disciples into this way, so they won’t see us as monsters.”
Elder Wu understood his meaning. If only the disciples in the entire Demon Blade Sect had turned into this way, once the disciples below discovered it, they might rebel against them and treat them as outsiders. They didn’t want those disciples to treat them as outsiders, so what could they do? The best way was to turn all the disciples into this way, so there would be no outsiders, because everyone would be the same.
Elder Wu let out a long sigh, then said, “Aren’t you afraid that those rogue cultivators will also end up like this? If that happens, this matter will inevitably be exposed sooner or later.” The
Demon Blade Sect Master shook his head and said, “No, we have always strictly controlled the use of these skeletons. These skeletons are only used in the core area of the Demon Blade Sect. We bring in those disciples in batches, turn them into living dead, and then release them. At the same time, we have the disciples below hurry up and refine the illusion array, so that those rogue cultivators won’t end up like this, and we won’t be discovered by them.”
Elder Wu glanced at him, then smiled and said, “You’ve thought of everything very thoroughly. Well then, I will take these skeletons back and study them carefully. At the same time, we will also send people to guard this place. From today onwards, your Demon Blade Sect is a branch of our Hell Gate. Do you understand?”
The Demon Blade Sect’s leader quickly responded. Similar incidents weren’t uncommon in the area where the Hell Gate was located, so they didn’t see anything wrong with it. Even members of other sects wouldn’t find it problematic, because the Hell Gate was the strongest in this region, and its word was law. No sect dared disobey its orders, so no one objected to the Hell Gate turning the Demon Blade Sect into a branch. Elder Wu nodded
, then waved his hand, directly collecting the skeletons. He then turned to Elder Wan, who was standing beside him, and said, “Junior Brother Wan, you’ll stay here for a while. I’ll leave half of my manpower for you, how about that?” Elder
Wan was clearly not a talkative person; he had been standing there without speaking. Hearing Elder Wu’s words, he simply nodded and said, “Okay,” and then remained silent.
Elder Wu nodded, then said in a deep voice, “Go and form ranks. Leave half of you behind; the rest of you, come back to the sect with me.” Disciples immediately responded and went to prepare.
Elder Wu then turned to look at the Demon Blade Sect’s leader and continued, “From now on, you will follow the sect’s arrangements. You are now members of the sect, and the sect will absolutely not abandon you. From now on, you will receive the same treatment as other sect disciples. However, it will take some time for adjustments, so don’t be impatient.”
The Demon Blade Sect’s leader responded. How could he dare to disagree? Don’t forget, Elder Wan was staying behind to oversee things; Elder Wan alone was enough to wipe them out.
The Hell Gate members quickly regrouped, and Elder Wu led them away. Half of the Hell Gate members remained, while the rogue cultivators were all safe. They didn’t know what had happened, but seeing that only half of the Hell Gate members had left, they dared not make any rash moves, remaining obedient. They knew perfectly well that only by doing so could they survive. Initially,
Elder Wu wanted to kill all the rogue cultivators, but later felt that if they did, the Hell Gate’s reputation would be ruined, so he agreed to their surrender. However, the Hell Gate wouldn’t allow these rogue cultivators to join their ranks, nor would they allow members of the Demon Blade Sect to join them. This was because the Demon Blade Sect, after all, was a legitimate sect. Even if their disciples weren’t as talented as the Hell Gate disciples, they still possessed some talent, far superior to the rogue cultivators. Therefore, they could accept members of the Demon Blade Sect, but not the rogue cultivators.
Furthermore, the Demon Blade Sect’s leader stated that the rogue cultivators were unaware of this matter. Moreover, the Hell Gate members noticed during their battles with these rogue cultivators that they could be injured, bleed, and even die from vital injuries. Therefore, they didn’t kill all the rogue cultivators or force them to join the Hell Gate.
Now that the Hell Gate members are leaving, these rogue cultivators are naturally staying behind. However, they will need some time to fully regain their freedom. The Demon Blade Sect will only be unsealed after the Hell Gate members are all settled.
In fact, in the Divine Realm, small sects like the Demon Blade Sect, when annexed by large sects like the Hell Gate, generally won’t resist too fiercely if given the same treatment. Unless you intend to kill them and not truly force them to surrender, their surrender is quite normal.
The people from Hell’s Gate quickly settled down at the Demon Blade Sect, and the sect returned to its previous tranquility. Their teleportation array was also unsealed. Immediately after the array was unsealed, some rogue cultivators left the Demon Blade Sect, out of fear. However, many others stayed, having heard that the Demon Blade Sect had become a branch of Hell’s Gate. In their eyes, the battle was over, and the Demon Blade Sect becoming a branch meant they were now making a living under Hell’s Gate’s banner—a far more prestigious and easier path than remaining under the main sect. Therefore, most of the rogue cultivators stayed. As the rogue
cultivators departed, news of the Demon Blade Sect’s situation spread throughout the Hell’s Gate region. Many in the area learned of this and were surprised. They immediately had someone investigate, and the news was confirmed to be true.
