Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15966
Chapter 15964: New Goals
In the Divine Realm, the title of a Kingdom-level expert truly represents a great deal. A small sect like the Jade Spirit Sect, if targeted by a Kingdom-level expert, might face annihilation. Don’t think this is a joke; it’s not. Kingdom-level experts are human beings; they are living beings. Do you think you can use the entire strength of your sect to wear down a Kingdom-level expert with sheer numbers? That’s impossible. Unless you use a magic array to trap the expert and surround them with even more lives, preventing their escape, the Kingdom-level expert will simply wear you down. They will attack you intermittently, and since you have no counter-experts, you’ll be left only to be passively attacked. Therefore, Kingdom-level experts are incredibly difficult to deal with; calling them invincible is no exaggeration.
Therefore, it’s not surprising that the Jade Spirit Sect surrendered to the Xuanming Sect. Li Feng and his group had also cornered several of the Jade Spirit Sect’s King City-level experts. After the Jade Spirit Sect’s sect leader was killed, the remaining Jade Spirit Sect experts all surrendered as well. With their surrender, the fighting spirit of the Jade Spirit Sect’s ordinary disciples also collapsed, so they all surrendered as well.
The fighting at the Jade Spirit Sect gradually ceased, and the Xuanming Sect disciples began to take over the Jade Spirit Sect continent, placing restrictions on everyone. The Jade Spirit Sect members seemed to have resigned themselves to their fate and accepted everything.
On the other hand, Xuan Qing waved the Tiger King Banner, collecting all the corpses of the fallen. He then ordered that the situation at the Jade Spirit Sect be restored as quickly as possible before dawn. He didn’t want anyone to come to the Jade Spirit Sect after dawn and find anything different.
The disciples of Xuanming Sect immediately followed his orders. At Yuling Sect, the buildings damaged in the battle began to be restored. Now, even the rogue cultivators at Yuling Sect were protected by restrictions, so there was nothing to worry about.
Early the next morning, the teleportation array at Yuling Sect opened on time, and some rogue cultivators began to arrive through it. They indeed found nothing unusual. Even if they did, because everything at Yuling Sect seemed normal, no one suspected anything. At this time, Xuan Qing was sitting in the main hall of Yuling Sect, where Li Feng and other experts from Xuanming Sect, along with several experts from Yuling Sect, were standing.
Xuan Qing glanced at them, then said, “Now we’re all on our side. From this day forward, the Jade Spirit Sect is officially merged into our Xuanming Sect. Li Feng, Guan Ling, and Qian Fu, the three of you stay here. Elder Chen and Elder Wang, the two of you come back to the Xuanming Sect with us.” Elder Chen and Elder Wang both responded. They were also King City level experts. Xuan Qing did this to have Li Feng and Guan Ling keep an eye on the Jade Spirit Sect, while simultaneously transferring the two King City level experts from the Jade Spirit Sect away. This way, whether on the Jade Spirit Continent or the Xuanming Continent, the Jade Spirit Sect would be at a disadvantage in terms of the number
of experts, and they certainly wouldn’t dare to act recklessly. Although the people of the Xuanming Sect had already placed restrictions on them, Xuan Qing still took this precaution. And since the Xuanming Sect had won this time, the people of the Jade Spirit Sect dared not disobey their orders.
Currently, all the disciples of the Xuanming Sect are still at the Yuling Sect. Those rogue cultivators couldn’t enter the Yuling Sect’s interior, so they didn’t see the Xuanming Sect disciples, but those disciples were definitely there. Therefore, the Yuling Sect disciples dared not act recklessly, much less reveal the true situation.
Xuan Qing glanced at the few people from the Yuling Sect and then said, “From today onwards, all of the Yuling Sect’s supplies, except for essential items, will be moved to the Xuanming Sect. No objections?” He then looked at the few Yuling Sect experts.
Upon hearing Xuan Qing’s words, the Yuling Sect experts’ faces turned extremely ugly, but they dared not say anything. They could only agree, though unwillingly, because they knew perfectly well that it wasn’t their place to disagree now.
Xuan Qing continued, “Have all disciples prepare during the day. We’ll return to the sect tonight. You all, take me to the Jade Spirit Sect’s warehouse.” He pointed at Elder Chen, who quickly agreed. Xuan Qing then waved his hand, and everyone left except Elder Chen, who led Xuan Qing to the Jade Spirit Sect’s warehouse.
Xuan Qing swept all the valuable items from the Jade Spirit Sect’s warehouse. Then, that evening, he led the Xuanming Sect disciples back to the Xuanming Sect. Of course, they also left some Xuanming Sect disciples at the Jade Spirit Sect, taking some of the Jade Spirit Sect disciples with them. This way, they wouldn’t have to worry about the Jade Spirit Sect causing trouble; their people were all separated, so there was no need to worry about them causing trouble.
After returning to the Xuanming Sect, Xuan Qing went into seclusion once again. This operation could be described as a great success; they gained all the benefits. They conquered the Jade Spirit Continent, and the wealth accumulated by the Jade Spirit Sect over the years was moved to the Xuanming Sect, perfectly in line with the God of Greed’s style. Therefore, he believed that he had gained a great deal this time, which was why he immediately went into seclusion.
Sure enough, just as Xuan Qing had thought, after his seclusion, he felt his strength had once again increased significantly. Xuan Qing could even say that many veteran kingdom-level experts in this region were no match for him, after all, there were simply too many God of Greed-level experts.
Xuan Qing’s seclusion lasted five days. After five days, he emerged, and by then, everything at Xuanming Sect had returned to normal. Just as Xuan Qing had predicted, their method of using external conflicts to divert attention from internal ones had succeeded. There were no longer any internal conflicts within Xuanming Sect.
Because they had fought together, the relationship between the original Xuanming Sect disciples and the newly joined rogue disciples had improved considerably. The Yuling Sect disciples who had been transferred to Xuanming Sect were very well-behaved. They were acutely aware of their place and knew they couldn’t act recklessly; otherwise, they would face ruthless suppression from Xuanming Sect.
Seven more days passed, and Xuan Qing once again summoned Li Feng and the others to the conference room. Li Feng and his group had originally stayed at Yuling Sect, but they had returned specifically for the meeting. Not only them, but also the four King-level experts who had surrendered from Yuling Sect, as well as several former hall masters of Yuling Sect, were all present.
Xuan Qing glanced at them and then said, “I called you all here today to discuss our next move. We’re not content with what we have; we need to strengthen ourselves. So, we’re preparing for another operation, and this time, our target is the Water Dragon Sect.”
Hearing this, the group was taken aback. They hadn’t expected Xuan Qing to choose the Water Dragon Sect as their target. Their surprise wasn’t because the Water Dragon Sect was powerful, but because it was incredibly weak.
The Water Dragon Sect was the smallest sect, possessing only one King-level expert. Its overall strength was even weaker than the original Xuanming Sect. Everyone had assumed that after destroying the Jade Spirit Sect, Xuan Qing would target a stronger sect, but they hadn’t expected him to choose the Water Dragon Sect this time.
Xuan Qing glanced at everyone and then said, “Aren’t you all curious why I chose to target the Water Dragon Sect instead of a more powerful sect?”
No one spoke, only looking at Xuan Qing. He continued, “Because this way, the odds are much better. To be honest, our last attack on the Jade Spirit Sect had a large element of luck. It’s not that we lacked the strength to deal with the Jade Spirit Sect, but rather that destroying them without being discovered was too risky. There was a real possibility that some people might have escaped and spread the news of the attack. Once that spread, other sects would definitely use it as an excuse to attack us. That’s why I said the last operation was too risky. From now on, we need to prioritize stability, first dealing with sects like the Water Dragon Sect. Once we’ve reached a certain level of strength, we can then target the stronger sects.”
Everyone nodded. Of course, they had no objections. It could be said that the entire Xuanming Sect was Xuan Qing’s personal fiefdom; whatever he said went, and no one would object. Therefore, everyone nodded in agreement.
Xuan Qing continued, “Since everyone agrees, let’s go make preparations. Remember, we’ll send some disciples to the Water Dragon Sect first. Once they’re ready, our main force will move out. This time, we’ll send five Royal City-level experts with me. We’ll enter the Water Dragon Sect together, and I’ll use the Tiger King Banner to cover the entire sect. The rest of you have only one task: guard the teleportation array and attack the Water Dragon Sect. Remember, anyone who surrenders will be spared, but anyone who resists, regardless of their identity, will be killed immediately. Understand?”
He spoke these words casually, but everyone knew that this order would likely result in countless deaths. However, they didn’t object, nor did they have the right to object, so everyone responded. Xuan Qing then waved his hand, allowing them to leave.
After those people left, Xuan Qing stood up and walked to the window of his study. He glanced at the Xuanming Continent and murmured, “Just wait. Once I’m strong enough, I’ll turn them all into vengeful spirits.” Xuan Qing had long wanted to turn everyone in the Xuanming Sect into vengeful spirits, but he hadn’t done so yet. The main reason was that his current strength wasn’t enough. He needed these people to help dispel the concerns of other sects, especially those mid-level sects that might attack them. He needed to make those sects believe that they were still weak. Only in this way could they divert the attention of those sects and allow them to develop and grow stronger. (End of Chapter)
