Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16261

16259. Chapter 16259 Disbandment

Gongsun Xing was now curious as to why some family disciples would voluntarily request to go to other branch halls. Was it simply for cultivation? Couldn’t they cultivate within the family? Weren’t they afraid of not getting enough cultivation resources if they left the family?

No, suddenly a thought flashed through Gongsun Xing’s mind. He remembered Bai Yan’s words and instantly understood their meaning. His expression changed; he finally understood what Bai Yan meant. Bai Yan was subtly hinting at something to him.

Gongsun Xing took a deep breath and then said, “Alright, any family disciple can join any branch they want. After joining the sect, each family disciple will receive the most suitable cultivation method and the most suitable resources for their cultivation. The family’s help to them is already quite limited. Letting them join other branches is a good thing for them. Let them go. In the future, anyone in the family who wants to join another branch can do so.”

Upon hearing this, all the elders responded. Gongsun Xing glanced at the elders, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “You all must remember that we are no longer in the Divine Kingdom, but in the sect. We can no longer use the same thinking as in the Divine Kingdom to handle things in the sect. Before, in the Divine Kingdom, we could rely on the family’s power to obtain more benefits and provide family disciples with more cultivation resources. As long as the strength of the family disciples increased, the strength of the entire family would also increase.” “It would improve our abilities, but now we’re in a sect, the situation is completely different. Sects have cultivation techniques suitable for everyone, resources suitable for everyone, and you can have as many resources as you need. Most importantly, everyone in the family can live forever. So, there’s no point in the family sticking together like before, and the sect doesn’t want that to happen either. So from now on, family disciples can join whichever branch they want, do whatever they want, and the family won’t interfere anymore. It’s time for our family disciples to disperse. Wherever they go, they’ll still be disciples of the Gongsun family, so what’s wrong with that?”

The elders of the Gongsun family were all stunned when they heard Gongsun Xing say this. They hadn’t expected Gongsun Xing to agree so readily and were quite surprised. To be honest, the biggest reason these elders were distracted today was because they didn’t want to live like this anymore.

Back in the Gongsun family, they were merely elders, responsible for handling numerous family affairs. Although they reaped considerable benefits, they still had to sacrifice everything for the Gongsun family. Only in this way could they secure their positions and ensure their descendants received more resources and could go further in life.

But things are different now. Now they are in a sect, possessing cultivation techniques best suited to them and inexhaustible resources. They no longer wish to live the way they used to; they yearn for their own lives. However, they fear Gongsun Xing will disapprove, hence their previous circumstances.

Hearing Gongsun Xing’s words, they were quite surprised. They all looked at him. Gongsun Xing, seeing their expressions, continued, “I know you’re all curious about why I said this. Actually, I went to see the young master today, and you know why—it was for the coordinates of Weicheng. Afterwards, Elder Bai inquired about the family’s situation. I didn’t realize it at the time, but just now, it suddenly dawned on me. What Elder Bai said to me was that he wanted us to disband our families and stop us from sticking together. So, our families no longer need to stick together like this. If we continue like this, it might displease the young master. That’s why I said what I did. Do you understand?”

Hearing this, everyone understood why his attitude had changed. Gongsun Xing, looking at them, continued, “Now that we’re in a sect, we can’t live the way we used to. Families are important, but the reason we established families is to allow our disciples to live better and go further. But if the family becomes a shackle restricting the development of its disciples…” “If they’re bound together, then the family has no reason to exist. Like I just said, no matter where they go, they’ll still be surnamed Gongsun. There’s no need for them to stick together like this.”

Everyone nodded. An elder spoke up, “These past few days I’ve been learning about the sect’s situation. There really isn’t any such cohesive force within the sect. The sect doesn’t allow it because it doesn’t want things to end up as individual forces fighting each other. The sect wants great integration. I’ve been thinking of discussing this with you, the patriarch, these past few days. I’m afraid our family’s current situation will incur the sect’s displeasure.” “Now that the patriarch has said so, things are simple. Patriarch, I think we should just tell the family members directly that they can go wherever they want and do whatever they want. Although it’s not explicitly stated, this effectively disbands the family, and the sect won’t blame us anymore.”

Gongsun Xing nodded and said, “Okay, let’s do it that way. Let’s handle this matter as soon as possible and not let the sect really come after us, otherwise we’ll lose face.” Everyone agreed and then turned to leave.

Watching them leave, Gongsun Xing couldn’t help but let out a long sigh. He was actually somewhat disappointed. He used to be the patriarch of the Gongsun family. In the Divine Kingdom, he was almost second only to the emperor. But now in the Blood Slaughter Sect, he was just an ordinary elder, and the family had to be disbanded. He had lost all his power, so he was somewhat disappointed.

However, he also knew that the matter was already settled and he couldn’t change it. In fact, to be honest, he didn’t want to change it. Why should he change it? Things were actually quite good as they were. He had long since given up on being the head of the family. You see, he used to be a genius. If he hadn’t been preoccupied with family affairs and had instead focused all his energy on cultivation, his strength would definitely be much greater than it is now.

But he was raised by the family, so he had to consider the family’s interests. If he only cared about himself, he wouldn’t have gotten to where he is today. The family nurtured him, but it also trapped him. Those who benefit from the family will ultimately be controlled by it. This is the fate of these aristocratic families.

But now everything is alright. The shackles binding them have been broken. They no longer need to worry about their families, because the sect has erased everything he did before. So now he doesn’t have to worry like before, and he can finally do what he wants.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He suddenly felt incredibly relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. This feeling was wonderful. What made him even happier was that his cultivation, which had been stagnant for so long, had become active again, as if it had become even stronger.

This startled him, and he shook his head with a bitter smile. He murmured, “I never imagined that my strength would stagnate because of my state of mind. I never expected this.”

Meanwhile, Xu Ying and his group once again annihilated a small family that had attacked them before. This incident once again attracted the attention of the powerful families and sects. The powerful families, of course, instructed all the smaller families to strengthen their defenses, especially those that had initially attacked the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, urging them to be extremely careful.

The sects were also paying attention to this matter. Finally, after Xu Ying and his group destroyed another small family, Qingxuan sent letters to the sect leaders of various sects, inviting them to a meeting at their Tianxuan Sect.

After all the sect leaders arrived at the Tianxuan Sect, Qingxuan glanced at everyone and then said, “The reason I invited you all here today is to talk about the Wanfa Divine Sect’s attack on those aristocratic families. What are your thoughts on this matter?”

The sect leaders exchanged glances, their expressions all very solemn. Then one sect leader spoke up, “The Wanfa Divine Sect attacked the very aristocratic families that initially attacked them and provoked the conflict. Does that mean they won’t attack us anymore?”

“We can’t think like that. We can’t place our hopes on others. We were the ones who joined forces with the aristocratic families to destroy all the temples of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. You could say we’ve made a blood feud with them. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect hasn’t attacked the aristocratic families who attacked them later, but what if they do? Besides, the aristocratic families are aristocratic families, and we are us. The royal family has reconciled with the aristocratic families, while the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is very close to the royal family. In the future, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect might refrain from attacking those aristocratic families out of respect for the royal family, but our relationship with the royal family is much more distant. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect won’t compromise its principles just for the sake of the royal family.” “They’ve spared us, so they’ll definitely attack us later. Even if it’s for revenge or to establish their authority, they have to attack us. So we don’t need to be complacent anymore; let’s prepare to fight them.”

Everyone fell silent. Although the sect leader’s words weren’t pleasant, they made a lot of sense. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect indeed had no reason to let them go. The reason they hadn’t attacked the aristocratic families who attacked them later might be because of the royal family’s influence, but these sects had no influence with the royal family. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect would definitely deal with them, and they really should prepare early.

Qingxuan glanced at everyone and then said in a deep voice, “That’s right. Let’s prepare to fight the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. I think it’s better if we strike first. What do you think?”

His words made everyone’s eyes light up. Strike first—that was indeed a good idea. But then everyone frowned. They wanted to strike first, but where to start was a problem.
