Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16321
Chapter 16319. Change
Senior Brother Zhong led Liu Qing to a dungeon in the Ironclad Sect. He then removed Liu Qing’s clothes and took him directly to an interrogation room in the dungeon. The interrogation room was not very well furnished, with only a chair in the middle and a table and three chairs against the wall on one side.
Senior Brother Zhong immediately had Liu Qing sit down in the chair in the middle of the room. He then looked at Liu Qing and said, “Do you know why we brought you here?”
Liu Qing looked at Senior Brother Zhong and said, “Please enlighten me, sir. I’m just a rogue cultivator; I really don’t know how I offended you.”
Senior Brother Zhong looked at him and sneered, “Still pretty stubborn. But no matter how stubborn you are, it’s useless. Do you really think we don’t know what happened? You came from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect headquarters; what are you doing here? I don’t need to say more, do I?”
Liu Qing looked at Senior Brother Zhong and said, “Sir, I originally made a living at the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect headquarters. I’ve never denied that, nor have I ever intended to hide it from anyone. But making a living there wasn’t easy, so I thought I’d come to the Ironclad Sect to make a living. I heard it’s easier here. Is that not allowed?” Senior Brother
Zhong looked at him and sneered, “Still playing dumb? Fine, then I’ll tell you the truth. What happened at the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect… ” “I don’t need to say anything more, do I? You’re monitoring everyone who enters the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, why are you doing this? And what happened the night before last, do I have to spell it out for you?”
Upon hearing Senior Brother Zhong’s words, Liu Qing’s face remained expressionless. He simply looked at Senior Brother Zhong and said, “Sir, I really don’t know what you’re talking about. The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has always been safe. Nothing has happened. We wouldn’t be monitoring anyone who enters the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. We’re just some rogue cultivators trying to make a living. Who enters the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has nothing to do with us, why would we monitor them?”
Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Zhong snorted angrily and said, “Fine, you’re really stubborn. It seems you won’t tell the truth unless we use some methods. Guards, use torture.”
Liu Qing looked at Senior Brother Zhong and roared, “You Ironclad Sect, you treat human life like dirt! Even as a ghost, I won’t let you go!” After saying this, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he was lifeless.
Upon seeing Liu Qing’s appearance, Senior Brother Zhong knew he had died by severing his own heart meridian. His expression changed drastically, and he immediately rushed over, shouting, “Search his soul immediately!” A disciple beside him responded and prepared to act, but the next moment, Liu Qing’s body trembled, and then something mysterious seemed to vanish from his body.
“Soul self-destruction? Damn it!” Senior Brother Zhong knew what Liu Qing had done just by looking at him. It wasn’t that a person couldn’t resist soul-searching techniques; in fact, there were many ways to counter them, but the most devastating was soul self-destruction. Generally, those who used this move were people captured and about to have their souls searched. To avoid tormenting their souls, they would use this move, and once used, it meant the annihilation of both spirit and soul—nothing remained.
Sure enough, Senior Brother Zhong and the others tried and found that Liu Qing’s soul had indeed disappeared; even if they wanted to use soul-searching techniques, it would be impossible.
Senior Brother Zhong’s face was incredibly grim. Looking at Liu Qing’s corpse, he said, “Drag his body out and feed it to the dogs.” He then turned and left the dungeon; he had to report this matter.
Meanwhile, Liu Qing had already been resurrected in the Void Realm. Upon his resurrection, he immediately contacted the Sect Master of the Myriad Beasts Sect and reported his experience directly.
Zhao Hai had set up a resurrection point in the Void Realm where all the deceased Blood Slaughter Sect disciples could be resurrected. Liu Qing’s previous actions weren’t a self-destruction of his soul; rather, his soul imprint returned directly to the rune space, leading to his resurrection. Liu Qing had deliberately committed suicide so that he could directly report the information he learned from Senior Brother Zhong to the Blood Slaughter Sect.
After seeing Liu Qing’s report, the Myriad Beasts Sect members didn’t dare to delay and immediately reported the matter, this time directly to Chang Jun.
Chang Jun’s face turned very ugly after reading the report. He immediately reported the matter to Zhao Hai. After reading the report, Zhao Hai summoned Bai Yan and the others together, including Chang Jun and Xu Ying.
Once everyone had arrived, Zhao Hai looked at them and said, “Old Chang just reported something; we might have been exposed.” He then turned to Chang Jun and nodded.
Chang Jun immediately recounted Liu Qing’s experience to the others. After he finished, Bai Yan and the others’ expressions turned serious. Bai Yan said, “So, the people from the Ironclad Sect already know what happened at the Myriad Beasts Sect? But they probably haven’t confirmed it yet, otherwise they wouldn’t have arrested anyone; they would have directly attacked the Myriad Beasts Sect.”
Everyone nodded. They understood perfectly well that if the Ironclad Sect had truly confirmed the situation at the Myriad Beasts Sect, they would likely have already begun their attack, no longer arresting and interrogating people, and even resorting to soul-searching to gather intelligence—they wanted to find concrete evidence.
Ding Chunming said, “Even if they can’t be certain, they’ve already started to suspect. And if they suspect the Myriad Beasts Sect, they’ll suspect other sects. That means if we take action against other sects there, they might find out.”
Zhao Hai added, “Yesterday, these people went to the Heavenly Profound Sect to discuss something. We don’t know what they discussed, but it seems very likely they were discussing this matter. If they really were discussing this, then things will be troublesome.”
Everyone nodded. Once the sect alliance really starts to suspect the Myriad Beasts Sect, it will be truly troublesome. Because then they won’t just suspect the Myriad Beasts Sect, but other sects as well. At that point, it will be even more difficult for the Blood Slaughter Sect to incorporate all the other sects into its ranks.
Once the seed of suspicion is planted, it will slowly grow. So once the sect alliance starts to suspect, it will be difficult to handle. They will keep investigating, and it’s hard to guarantee that they won’t uncover something.
The most troublesome part of this matter is that you can’t let the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect die directly. If they let the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect die directly, or let the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect be wiped out, it will only make them more suspicious. They will think, “I just started to suspect the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and now something has happened to them.” No matter what reason you come up with, they will still be suspicious, and that is the most troublesome thing.
Faced with this situation, Bai Yan and the others were also quite troubled. At this moment, Sheng Si suddenly spoke up: “Actually, I think this matter isn’t that complicated. They haven’t attacked the Myriad Beasts Sect yet, have they? As long as they haven’t attacked the Myriad Beasts Sect, the Myriad Beasts Sect can act as if nothing happened and continue with its own affairs. If they attack the Myriad Beasts Sect, then the Myriad Beasts Sect can fight back to the death. Then all the people of the Myriad Beasts Sect will die at their hands, wouldn’t that be perfect? It saves them from faking their deaths. As for not being able to take down those sects, that’s simple too. Let’s not attack those sects for now. We can deal with those aristocratic families in secret. However, Xu Ying and the others should continue attacking the sects’ markets. Uncle Chang, you take people and attack those aristocratic families in secret. Didn’t we just do that before?” “Attack city by city? Later, we focused on dealing with the sects, so we stopped attacking those cities. Now, it’s perfect. We can change our direction and target the aristocratic families. This way, the sects won’t be able to find anything, and the aristocratic families’ attention is still on the battle between Xu Ying and Zong Rang’s alliance. This is the time for us to deal with them. We just need to make a small change to our target, and there won’t be any problems. What do you all think?”
Hearing Sheng Si’s words, Zhao Hai and the others were taken aback, but then they all nodded. Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Si’er is right. Indeed, as long as we change our target, the situation will be completely different. Those sects have no power in the cities, so they certainly won’t know about the changes in the aristocratic families. And we can completely control the attacks on those sects.” “Wait a minute. They don’t have any evidence that something happened to the Myriad Beasts Sect right now. Even if they did get some evidence and attacked the Myriad Beasts Sect, the sect members could use that opportunity to fight to the death. They could all die at the hands of the sect alliance, which might even anger other sects. And that would be a good thing for us.”
Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai then turned to Chang Jun and said, “Old Chang, what do you think?”
Chang Jun nodded and said, “No problem, it’s just a matter of changing targets, it’s simple.”
Zhao Hai nodded, then said, “We could actually turn against the Divine Kingdom now, because we have the strength, but we can’t do that. If we could really do it silently…” “If we take over the Divine Kingdom, it will definitely be a good thing for us. So there’s no rush. Before the people in the Divine Kingdom discover us and start a full-scale war with us, there’s no need for us to expose ourselves and fight them head-on. Taking over the Divine Kingdom little by little in the dark, like we are now, is fine too. So everyone, don’t rush, we can take it slow. If one day the people in the Divine Kingdom really discover us and start a full-scale war with us, then we can start a full-scale war with them. In short, before we are fully exposed, we will act in the dark. When they discover us, we will start a full-scale war with them. Do you all understand?”
Everyone responded in unison. Zhao Hai’s decision was indeed the best. This way, the Blood Slaughter Sect would lose far fewer people, which was also a good thing for them.
