Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16322

Chapter 16320. Methods

“Have you caught them?”

“Yes, but it’s useless. As soon as we catch them, they immediately commit suicide, and their souls self-destruct. Even if we try to search their souls, we can’t find them.”

“This matter must be reported. The sect must know.”

“Alright, report this immediately.”…

Tie Huanshan was sitting in his study when a servant entered, bowed to him, and said, “Master, Hall Master Qian requests an audience.” This servant was from Tie Huanshan’s household, hence the way he addressed him.

Tie Huanshan nodded and said, “Let him in.” The servant responded and turned to leave.

A moment later, Qian Le walked in from outside. He bowed to Tie Huanshan and said, “Greetings, Sect Master.”

Tie Huanshan nodded and said, “You’ve arrived. Sit down.” Qian Le responded and sat down immediately. Tie Huanshan looked at Qian Le and asked, “What is it?”

Qian Le nodded and then said in a deep voice, “These past few days, we’ve captured some people from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, including their disciples and rogue cultivators from their sect. The captures went relatively smoothly, but as soon as they were captured, they immediately severed their heart meridians and died, and their souls even self-destructed. We didn’t even have a chance to search their souls.”

Upon hearing this, Tie Huanshan was taken aback, then frowned and asked, “Is that true for all of them?”

Qian Le nodded and said, “…” “Yes, that’s all true.”

Tie Huanshan frowned, then thought for a moment before saying, “This means there must be something wrong with them.”

Qian Le nodded, “Indeed, those people don’t seem like ordinary cultivators at all; they’re more like assassins. Sect Master, I think there’s something wrong here. Our previous guesses might have been wrong.”

Tie Huanshan was taken aback, then asked somewhat puzzled, “Where were we wrong?”

Qian Le said in a deep voice, “Even if they surrendered to the royal family, they couldn’t possibly be this loyal. The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is, after all, a sect. Even if they surrendered to the royal family, they should know that the royal family is using them. ‘When the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked.’ They should understand this principle. We…” “The sects made great contributions to the establishment of the Divine Kingdom, but what was the result? They were constantly suppressed, and all sect disciples were expelled from the court. They experienced all of this firsthand. Now, even if the royal family offers them some benefits, will they completely believe it? If it were me, I would absolutely not believe it. If they didn’t completely believe it, they wouldn’t be so willing to risk their lives for the royal family. So I think there’s something wrong here.”

Tie Huanshan’s expression changed. He turned to look at Qian Le, his eyes fixed on him. He said in a deep voice, “Then what do you mean? Are you saying that there is another incredibly powerful force controlling the Myriad Beasts Sect, and not the royal family? If that’s really the case…” “If that’s the case, then how powerful must that force be? How did they manage to control the Myriad Beasts Sect in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea?”

Qian Le remained silent for a long while before finally speaking, “Sect Master, this is precisely what I can’t understand. This incident really doesn’t seem like something the royal family would do, and something has indeed happened at the Myriad Beasts Sect. That’s the strangest thing, and the thing I can’t understand the most. I’m now seriously suspecting that an external force has indeed taken control of the Myriad Beasts Sect, but how could they control a sect in such a short time?”

Tie Huanshan’s expression changed, and he looked at Qian Le, saying, “Use poison.”

Qian Le was taken aback, then his expression changed again, and he said in a deep voice, “Using poison is indeed possible. So what do we do now?”

Tie Huanshan stood up and paced around the room for a while before finally speaking, “I need to discuss this matter with the others and see what they have to say. You can go back now.” Qian Le responded, then bowed to Tie Huanshan and turned to leave.

After Qian Le left, Tie Huanshan immediately wrote to Qingxuan, telling him that he had important matters to discuss and requesting that Qingxuan inform everyone to attend a meeting at the Tianxuan Sect.

Qingxuan knew that Tie Huanshan must have something important to discuss, so he immediately agreed. Soon, he wrote to all the sect leaders of the other major sects, and they all went to the Tianxuan Sect, including Tie Huanshan.

Once everyone had arrived, Qingxuan looked at Tie Huanshan and said, “Sect Master Tie, please speak plainly.”

Tie Huanshan nodded, his expression grave as he looked at everyone and said, “As you all know, there was something I mentioned about the Myriad Beasts Sect before. The consensus was to first confirm whether the Myriad Beasts Sect had surrendered to the royal family before taking action. I accepted this task, and we were tasked with capturing some members of the Myriad Beasts Sect to see if they had indeed surrendered. We did indeed do this; we captured some disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect, as well as some rogue cultivators under their jurisdiction, hoping to extract information from them. However, a problem has arisen now—those disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect…” “The rogue cultivators and independent cultivators, after being captured, immediately sever their own heart meridians and die, and their souls self-destruct. Even if we wanted to search their souls, we couldn’t.”

His words stunned everyone, and then they all looked at Tie Huanshan in astonishment. Tie Huanshan glanced at everyone and then said, “All the members of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect we captured are dead, not a single one is alive, and we can’t search their souls. This is definitely not normal. This doesn’t seem like the reaction of normal cultivators; it’s more like the reaction of suicide squads. If the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect could do this, I would accept it, but even the rogue cultivators under their command can do this. This is too abnormal, so I think there must be a problem here.”

“Tell me your thoughts.” Qingxuan looked at Tie Huanshan, his expression also very solemn.

Tie Huanshan nodded and continued, “Judging from their reactions, there’s definitely something wrong with the Myriad Beasts Sect. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have needed to self-destruct, especially after everyone knew our identities. Even if those rogue cultivators joined the Myriad Beasts Sect, it wouldn’t matter. If they really betrayed the sect, we could have them join us. Logically, that would be more attractive to them, and they should have been more willing to join us. But they didn’t. Instead, they self-destructed like suicide bombers. Doesn’t that just prove there’s something wrong with the Myriad Beasts Sect?”

Everyone nodded, agreeing with his point. If there were no problem with the Myriad Beasts Sect, those people wouldn’t have reacted this way.

Tie Huanshan continued, “Furthermore, judging from their reactions, the Myriad Beasts Sect might not have surrendered to the royal family.” His words surprised everyone. It was Tie Huanshan who had previously deduced that they might have surrendered to the royal family, but now he said they might not have. This was quite unexpected, and they were eager to know what else Tie Huanshan would say.

Tie Huanshan glanced at everyone and then said, “The reason I say this is because even if they surrendered to the royal family, they couldn’t have gone this far. What would happen if the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect surrendered to the royal family? I think everyone knows what kind of person the royal family is. They’ve been suppressing us all along, and we did them a huge favor back then, yet they still suppressed us afterwards. Even if the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect surrendered to the royal family, would they really be of one mind with them? Probably not. They’re even less likely to become the royal family’s loyal followers. So the behavior of those Ten Thousand Beasts Sect disciples is too abnormal. Therefore, I have a bold guess: the one controlling the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect might not be the royal family at all, and the affairs of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect have nothing to do with the royal family.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then their expressions changed drastically. Tie Huanshan… Shan continued, “If it’s not the royal family, then it can only be some other force. This force can’t be the aristocratic family alliance; they don’t have that kind of power. Even if the aristocratic family alliance attacked the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would never surrender to them. So, if it’s not the royal family, then it must be a force that appeared out of nowhere, and this force is extremely powerful. Our previous guess that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect couldn’t surrender in such a short time didn’t account for one possibility: poison.”

He paused here, then looked at everyone and said, “If the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s plea for help is genuine, then it wasn’t sent by someone from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, but by a friend of one of their sect’s Grand Elders. That makes sense too. If someone really bribed someone from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to send a letter…” “Were all the high-ranking members of the Beast Sect poisoned? But their Supreme Elder’s friend wasn’t poisoned, so he escaped and asked us for help. But at that moment, those who attacked the Beast Sect told the Beast Sect members that they had been poisoned. If the Beast Sect members didn’t surrender, they would all die. So the Beast Sect members would surrender. And once the Beast Sect members surrendered, those who poisoned them could place restrictions on them. If they dared to betray them, their fate might be worse than death. That way, even if the Beast Sect members didn’t want to become death warriors, they would have no choice. That’s one possibility, isn’t it?”

Everyone’s expressions became extremely solemn. Qingxuan said, “But right now, all of this is just speculation. We have no way to prove it.” “Indeed,”

Tie Huanshan said in a deep voice, “There are two fastest ways to prove this. First, attack the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and destroy it. Second, go to His Majesty and tell him about this. Tell him clearly that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has problems and that we need to deal with them. See how His Majesty reacts. If His Majesty agrees to let us deal with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, it means that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect did not surrender to the royal family. If His Majesty opposes it, it means that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect surrendered

to His Majesty. Then we can rest assured.” Everyone was stunned. They really hadn’t expected Tie Huanshan to say such a thing, to directly tell Gongliang Juewen about this. Although it was indeed a method, they had never thought of it before, after all, they couldn’t trust Gongliang Juewen.
