Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15899
Chapter 15897. Agree.
Zhao Hai nodded, then smiled and said, “Fan Huajin, not bad.” After saying that, he turned to look at Li Ruoshan and said, “Sect Master Li, I am Zhao Hai, the sect master of the Blood Slaughter Sect. I am currently studying the cultivation technique, so I cannot come to see you in person. Please forgive me.” After saying that, Zhao Hai clasped his hands in a fist salute to Li Ruoshan.
Li Ruoshan took a deep breath, then stood up and bowed to Zhao Hai’s projection, saying, “Sect Leader Zhao, you’re too kind. I’m already very happy to see you.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Sect Leader Li, you’re too kind. We actually don’t want to start a war unnecessarily. If Sect Leader Li could lead the Copper Man Sect to join our Blood Slaughter Sect and work with us on the grand plan of immortality, we would be very happy to welcome it.” Zhao Hai’s words were very polite, but Li Ruoshan felt that Zhao Hai’s words seemed unfinished. If they were very happy to work with them on the grand plan of immortality, then what if they didn’t? Would they then resort to v*olence against them?
Thinking of this, Li Ruoshan immediately said to Zhao Hai, “Sect Leader Zhao Hai, you are too kind. The matter of our Copper Man Sect is not something I can decide alone. I must discuss it with the senior elders of the sect before giving you an answer. However, I personally feel that it is not impossible for the Copper Man Sect to merge into the Blood Slaughter Sect. But whether the other elders in our sect will agree, I do not know.”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “Sect Leader Li, you are too kind. Then I will wait for your good news.” After saying that, Zhao Hai bowed to Li Ruoshan again, and then his projection disappeared.
After Zhao Hai’s projection disappeared, Li Ruoshan turned to look at Fan Huajin and said, “You actually managed to summon your sect leader’s projection?”
Fan Huajin smiled wryly and said, “To be honest, I really didn’t expect the sect leader to come. Our sect leader doesn’t know about my visit to the sect to persuade you. He’s in seclusion most of the year and hardly cares about sect affairs. I really didn’t expect him to come.”
He said twice that he didn’t expect Zhao Hai to come, showing that he genuinely didn’t expect it. Li Ruoshan understood his meaning upon hearing this, but his expression changed again. However, he didn’t dwell on the matter and instead said, “Go and rest first. I’ll discuss it with the elders and give you an answer as soon as possible.”
Fan Huajin nodded and said, “Okay.” He then stood up, bowed to Li Ruoshan, and turned to leave.
After Fan Huajin left, Li Ruoshan immediately called out, “Someone come here.” A disciple outside immediately entered and bowed to Li Ruoshan.
Li Ruoshan said in a deep voice, “Go and invite the Supreme Elders and Hall Masters to the council hall for a meeting. Tell them it’s a very important matter, and they must put aside whatever they’re doing.” The disciple responded and immediately went to fetch them. Li Ruoshan, however, stood up with a solemn expression and walked out.
He arrived at the council hall shortly after, but it was empty. The furnishings were quite ordinary: a chair at the head of the table with a small table beside it, and a row of chairs on each side, with a small table between each pair of chairs. There were also some green plants in the room; nothing particularly special about the room.
Li Ruoshan sat down at the head of the table and waited. Soon, all the Supreme Elders of the Copper Man Sect arrived, as did all the Hall Masters. They entered the room, bowed to Li Ruoshan, and then found places to sit.
Once everyone had arrived, Li Ruoshan said, “Bring tea.” Immediately, a disciple served tea to everyone. Then Li Ruoshan said, “All of you, leave. No one is to approach without my order.” The disciples all acknowledged and left the room.
After they left, Li Ruoshan turned to look at everyone and said, “You’ve all heard, haven’t you? Fan Huajin is back.”
Fan Huajin didn’t return secretly; he returned openly. Therefore, the Supreme Elders and the branch hall masters couldn’t possibly be unaware of this news. So everyone nodded, indicating they knew.
Li Ruoshan glanced at everyone and continued, “Fan Huajin has returned to tell us the true situation at the front lines. Let me tell you all about it.” He then recounted everything that had happened at the front lines, finally explaining the current situation they faced.
After he finished speaking, everyone’s expressions changed. No one spoke. They truly hadn’t expected things to turn out this way; it was completely unexpected.
Li Ruoshan glanced at them, then spoke, “I just saw Zhao Hai, the sect leader of the Blood Slaughter Sect. This sect leader Zhao Hai’s strength is truly unfathomable. What I saw was only a projection of him, but even that projection was no weaker than me. Adding to that what Fan Huajin said, I think we have no other choice.”
Everyone fell silent. To be honest, they really didn’t want to surrender, but the problem was that someone’s knife was already at their throat. They were being asked whether to surrender or not. Surrender and they would be released—they would be his brothers; don’t surrender and they would be enemies, and that knife would take their lives. What would they choose?
They were all cultivators, and none of them wanted to die. That was why they remained silent. They knew perfectly well that to live, they had to surrender, but they didn’t want to say the words of surrender themselves.
Li Ruoshan looked at everyone and knew what they were thinking. He said in a deep voice, “I know making this decision is extremely difficult, but it must be made by us. Otherwise, should we let those ordinary disciples make this decision? They don’t have the right to do so. So this decision must be made by us. I am now the sect leader, so I will make this decision. I have decided to merge into the Blood Slaughter Sect.”
Upon hearing Li Ruoshan’s words, the several Supreme Elders and Hall Masters all breathed a sigh of relief. They were really worried that Li Ruoshan would order a fight to the death against the Blood Slaughter Sect. If that happened, they would probably be doomed. If it really came to that, they might also fight the Blood Slaughter Sect to the death. After all, they also had face to save, and sometimes face was more important than their lives.
Hearing that Li Ruoshan wanted to surrender, they were naturally overjoyed. Since it was Li Ruoshan who made the decision, even if someone remembered this event later, they would only remember that Li Ruoshan proposed the surrender, and it would have nothing to do with them. This way, they would surrender without any psychological burden.
Looking at their expressions, Li Ruoshan couldn’t help but sigh. He was truly disappointed in these people of the Copper Man Sect. They lacked any sense of responsibility. Seeing their cowardice in important matters and their recklessness for small gains, he feared that if he were to step down as sect leader and hand the Copper Man Sect over to them, they would likely ruin it. A good manager’s contribution to a sect is unimaginable, and none of them were qualified.
Fortunately, he no longer needed to worry about these things. They had been merged into the Blood Slaughter Sect, and the management of these people would be handled by the Blood Slaughter Sect, relieving him of some of his burdens.
Li Ruoshan knew that even if they were incorporated into the Blood Slaughter Sect, the sect, in order to maintain stability, would not easily harm them. However, Li Ruoshan genuinely didn’t want to get involved anymore.
He glanced at everyone and then said, “If you have no other objections, I will directly summon Fan Huajin and tell him our decision. He can then immediately report this matter to the Blood Slaughter Sect, and the sect will naturally make a decision.”
Everyone nodded. Only then did Li Ruoshan say, “Someone come here.” Immediately, a disciple entered, bowed to Li Ruoshan, and Li Ruoshan said in a deep voice, “Go and invite Elder Fan Huajin here.” The disciple responded and immediately turned and left.
A moment later, Fan Huajin arrived at the council hall. He glanced at everyone, smiled, and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, “Greetings, elders and hall masters.”
Everyone stared intently at him, then returned the salute. Li Ruoshan then said to Fan Huajin, “Elder Fan, we have agreed to merge into the Blood Slaughter Sect. You can report this matter now. However, we have only agreed so far; we don’t yet know what the disciples below think. But we will resolve this matter as soon as possible. We hope the Blood Slaughter Sect can give us some time.”
Fan Huajin nodded and said, “Alright, then I will report this matter now.” He then stood there, closed his eyes, but only for a moment, before opening them again. He looked at everyone and said, “I have…” “I’ve reported this matter, and we’re just waiting for the sect’s reply.”
He paused, then continued, “The sect has agreed. We can give them some time, but it can’t be too long.”
Li Ruoshan looked at Fan Huajin and said in a deep voice, “Are you kidding us? You didn’t produce a communication array or a jade slip. How did you know the Blood Slaughter Sect had agreed to our request?”
Fan Huajin smiled slightly, then with a flick of his hand, a sphere appeared. From the sphere, a projection appeared, showing Fan Huajin’s conversation with an Elder Wen. The content concerned Li Ruoshan’s request for some time, and Elder Wen had indeed agreed. Upon seeing the projection
, Li Ruoshan and the others’ expressions changed. They hadn’t expected the Blood Slaughter Sect’s communication tools to be so convenient.
Looking at their expressions, Fan Huajin smiled and said, “I was just reporting to my superiors; I didn’t intend to say anything more. In fact, our sect’s communication is very convenient. I might even be able to speak directly with Elder Wen face-to-face.” He then immediately made a call to Wen Wenhai.
Fan Huajin did this to demonstrate his strength, to let Li Ruoshan and the others know the power of the Blood Slaughter Sect, lest they do something irrational. That’s why he deliberately displayed the Heavenly Sphere, letting Li Ruoshan and the others understand that the gap between them and the Blood Slaughter Sect was multifaceted, and they’d better not try any tricks.
