Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15964

Chapter 15962. Objective

Actually, some Xuanming Sect disciples had already heard the shouts from the rogue cultivators. They came out to check the situation, but upon seeing Li Feng and his group, they immediately returned to their rooms. None of them were fools; Li Feng and his group were there, which meant this matter was beyond their control. They certainly wouldn’t go over to ask questions, so they all obediently returned to their rooms.

The next morning, everything was calm outside, and the sect’s ban had been lifted. Some curious disciples went to check out the areas where the rogue cultivators had gathered. They found nothing except for some traces of battle in certain places; most areas were intact. However, all the rogue cultivators had vanished—not a single one had disappeared.

Seeing this situation and recalling the shouts from the previous night, the disciples of Xuanming Sect felt a chill run down their spines, especially those who had just joined. They were terrified, their faces turning ashen. They suddenly understood why the sect had suddenly threatened to expel all the rogue cultivators and force them to join—it was their last chance. Thinking this, their expressions darkened even further.

Meanwhile, Xuan Qing had gathered Li Feng and the others in his study. Xuan Qing’s face was expressionless. He glanced at everyone and said, “Now that the issue of the rogue cultivators is resolved, we need to deal with the other sects. This time, we’ll target the Jade Spirit Sect. We have a history of enmity with this sect, although we haven’t fought for many years. Since we’re dealing with other sects, we should choose them as our first target. My idea is to send a group of disciples to the Jade Spirit Sect to assess their situation before we attack them.” “In a surprise attack, I’ll go first and use the Tiger King Banner to cover their entire continent while guarding their teleportation array. Then, the sect’s disciples will go over and attack them. The Jade Spirit Sect should have five King-level experts. Dealing with them should be easy for us. What do you think? Does anyone have any objections?”

Everyone shook their heads. No one had any objections. Xuan Qing was the only King-level expert in the Xuanming Sect. Of course, no one could object to what he said. In addition, they didn’t dare to object to what happened last night. Last night, they finally learned what it meant to kill without blinking an eye.

Seeing that they had no objections, Xuan Qing spoke directly: “Li Feng, find some trustworthy rogue cultivators to go to the Jade Spirit Sect and check on their situation. If the Jade Spirit Sect asks, explain that the sect is expelling people, and those disciples are rogue cultivators who escaped. We’ve been expelling rogue cultivators for some time now, and many sects know this, so they should know too. Let them check on the situation there first, and then send the message back. We’ll find an opportunity to attack them. Yu Yangzi, make arrangements and tell all the disciples in the sect to prepare for battle.”

Everyone responded and then turned to leave. Xuan Qing glanced at them and went straight back to his room. As soon as he returned to his meditation room, he took out the Tiger King Banner and entered it with his spiritual power. He saw the desiccated corpses inside the banner, surrounded by countless black mists. The corpses lay there like sections of withered wood.

Seeing this, Xuan Qing couldn’t help but smile. He knew perfectly well what these mummified corpses were. These mummified corpses had a special name: Chang Gui (伥鬼). “

Serving as a tiger’s accomplice” refers to these Chang Gui. Legend has it that these Chang Gui are people eaten by tigers; their ghosts become Chang Gui, luring others to be eaten by tigers. The mummified corpses in Xuan Qing’s Tiger King Banner are a type of Chang Gui, which is also one of the Tiger King Banner’s abilities. They can turn those killed by the Tiger King Banner into Chang Gui and store them within the banner. When fighting enemies, these Chang Gui can be released to attack.

Chang Gui are divided into two types: mummified corpses and ghosts. Ghosts are actually the black mist, whose attacks can constantly shift between reality and illusion, possessing formidable power.

Mummified corpses are another type of changgui (伥鬼). They have physical forms, but because they have become mummified and nourished by yin energy, their bodies become as hard as steel, possessing immense strength and formidable attack power.

However, both ghost-type and mummified changgui have natural enemies. Ghost-type changgui are vulnerable to energy weapons, while mummified changgui are vulnerable to fire-based magic. Of course, ordinary fire-based magic cannot harm them, but these mummified changgui have relatively lower defense against fire-based magic.

The longer these changgui are nourished by yin energy, the stronger they become in combat. Therefore, Xuan Qing must now set aside time every day to nourish the Tiger King Banner.

Of course, he also received a large amount of energy from the God of Greed, so his strength is improving every day. His rate of improvement is far faster than that of ordinary kingdom-level experts, which is quite remarkable.

Meanwhile, the Xuanming Sect has already begun its operations. Li Feng and his group selected some trustworthy and quick-witted rogue cultivators and sent them to the Jade Spirit Sect to investigate their situation. They were to check if the Jade Spirit Sect was prepared, or if any experts from other sects were going there. After all, the Jade Spirit Sect and the Xuanming Sect have a feud. Now that the Xuanming Sect has a kingdom-level expert, if the Jade Spirit Sect were worried about Xuanming Sect’s experts and attacked, it would be a real problem. Therefore, they had to be prepared.

At the same time, all the disciples of the Xuanming Sect were notified to be ready for battle at any time, which immediately made the atmosphere tense within the sect.

Meanwhile, Xuan Qing continued to nurture the Tiger King Banner every day, and his Tiger King Banner grew stronger and stronger, but no one knew about this.

However, news of Xuan Qing becoming a Kingdom-level expert had already spread throughout their region. Some major sects, upon hearing this news, did not react much. In their view, it was just a small sect that had gotten lucky and had one person break through to the Kingdom level. Such a small sect posed no threat to them whatsoever. Their sects had more than one Kingdom-level expert. Dealing with such a small sect would be too easy for them. As long as these small sects did not provoke them, they would not bother with them.

As for the mid-tier sects, their attitude towards this matter was merely one of observation. While Xuan Qing’s attainment of the Kingdom-level expert was indeed noteworthy, it was only something to be aware of; they didn’t truly take it to heart. Even if a small sect had someone break through to the Kingdom level, their sect’s foundation was limited. It was simply impossible for them to grow and expand rapidly in a short period. Moreover, even if that small sect were to truly grow and expand, it would target other small sects and seize benefits from them. It wouldn’t dare to approach mid-tier sects like themselves, because that small sect wasn’t yet qualified to take benefits from them. If that small sect dared to reach out to them, they wouldn’t hesitate to wipe it out directly. Therefore, these mid-tier sects didn’t react much, only observing the movements of the Xuanming Sect to see what they would do.

When they heard that the Xuanming Sect had taken in many rogue cultivators as disciples and was going to expel the others, they all smiled slightly. Generally speaking, the best way for a small sect to grow stronger is to absorb rogue cultivators into the sect. In this way, the sect’s strength does appear to have increased significantly on the surface. However, while these rogue cultivators may be strong, their character is questionable. Suddenly allowing a large number of rogue cultivators to join the sect will definitely cause turmoil. They will need a long time just to digest these rogue cultivators. Therefore, the people from those sects were not worried at all. In their view, the Xuanming Sect would be very well-behaved for a long time to come because they would need a lot of time just to digest these rogue cultivators.

Unbeknownst to them, the Xuanming Sect had already set its sights on other sects. Although the Xuanming Sect had indeed absorbed a large number of rogue cultivators, resulting in a less than pleasant atmosphere and a truly foul ambiguity, Xuan Qing’s annihilation of hundreds of thousands of rogue cultivators had made them all behave themselves. Furthermore, their planned attack on the Yuling Sect was essentially a way to shift internal conflicts to external ones, turning them into external wars. Perhaps after a few battles, the internal conflicts within the sect would disappear. After all, everyone had fought side by side as comrades; what conflicts could there possibly be? Even if some conflicts remained, no one would take them seriously.

Five days after Xuanming Sect sent disciples into Yuling Sect, they received news from those disciples. The atmosphere at Yuling Sect was indeed tense, but only somewhat tense; they hadn’t fully entered a strategic state. Their teleportation array was open 24/7, seemingly unchanged from before, which relieved the Xuanming Sect members. Xuan Qing

immediately summoned Li Feng and the others to his study again. Once they arrived, Xuan Qing said, “The intelligence from Yuling Sect has returned. It seems they don’t believe we’ll attack them anytime soon. This is good news for us. Attacking them now gives us the initiative. What do you all think?”

Everyone nodded. Meng Yu said, “Now, not only do all their sects believe we won’t attack them anytime soon, so now is the perfect time for us to attack.”
