Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16386

Chapter 16384. Thoughts

Upon hearing the general’s words, Gongliang Juewen immediately said, “Good, excellent! Now we just wait. I want to see how many of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s people can die. No, we can’t keep defending and being too passive. I think our previous thinking was correct. Our people are too concentrated. We always think about launching a large-scale attack, but we forgot that our enemy is not so easy to eliminate. We are prepared for a long-term battle with the enemy, so we must have a long-term battle plan. The enemy’s numbers are currently fewer than ours, so why should we pursue annihilating them all in one go? Wouldn’t it be better if we only focused on the killing effect?”

His words stunned everyone, and then their eyes flickered. Gongliang Juewen’s words made sense. The enemy’s numbers were fewer than theirs, so why should they think about annihilating the enemy in one fell swoop? The enemy’s numbers were fewer, so that was perfect; they could just kill people.

At this moment, a family head spoke up: “Your Majesty means that from now on, we will only attack to kill the enemy? And we will act separately? No more collective actions?”

Gongliang Juewen said in a deep voice: “Make the hunting of the enemy a mission and issue it to those rogue cultivators. Whether they kidnap people from the Blood Slaughter Sect or kill members of the Blood Slaughter Sect, they will be rewarded upon their return. This mission can be accepted by all families, clans, and even the military. However, everyone must also have a garrison duty. Once someone accepts a garrison duty, they can also accept hunting missions. These two missions cannot be accepted simultaneously.” “What do you all think?”

Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen’s words, everyone nodded. They thought Gongliang Juewen’s method was excellent. Thinking of this, one of the family heads immediately said, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Seeing their expressions, Gongliang Juewen knew they had agreed to his proposal, and a smile appeared on his face. He then said, “Good, it’s settled then. Issue the mission. My dear ministers, go back and prepare.”

Everyone responded, then bowed to Gongliang Juewen. Gongliang Juewen stood up and left the hall, and only then did they depart.

After returning to his study, Gongliang Juewen immediately informed Chang Jun of their decision. Chang Jun, upon hearing Gongliang Juewen’s words, smiled and said, “Excellent, you did a great job. Your suggestion won’t arouse their suspicion. All those who accepted the mission and came to our territory might be turned into undead and then released. Once they return, they’ll develop a new undead race. This way, we might be able to resolve the situation here in the Divine Kingdom without a major battle.”

Gongliang Juewen responded, then added, “However, we haven’t resolved the issue of the Creation God Cult. So many people agreed that we should let the Creation God Cult go for now and let them deal with the sect. If I still strongly opposed it, those people would definitely suspect me. So I agreed to their approach.”

Chang Jun didn’t seem to care, and he smiled, saying: “It’s alright, let them develop. Even if they keep developing, how far can they go? Don’t worry.”

Gongliang Juewen replied. Chang Jun chatted with him for a few more minutes before hanging up. Gongliang Juewen breathed a sigh of relief. He now understood the situation of the Blood Slaughter Sect much better. To be honest, he really hadn’t expected the Blood Slaughter Sect to be so strong. He even had a feeling that even without the rest of the Blood Slaughter Sect members, Zhao Hai alone could take care of everyone in the Divine Kingdom. But Zhao Hai didn’t do that. Instead, he let the disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect fight against the people of the Divine Kingdom. At first, Gongliang Juewen didn’t quite understand why Zhao Hai did this. With Zhao Hai’s strength, if he wanted, he could have easily improved the strength of all the disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect and turned everyone in the Divine Kingdom into members of the Blood Slaughter Sect. There was no need for such trouble.

However, he has gradually come to understand Zhao Hai’s approach. If Zhao Hai forces the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples to improve their strength, then the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples will have no time for cultivation and reflection, which is actually quite fatal. It’s like a person who has never had much money since childhood and lives the most ordinary life. Suddenly one day, he wins a big prize and receives tens of millions in winnings. This will cause him to suddenly lose his goals and rationality. Many people who win big prizes end up with unhappy lives because the money comes too suddenly, and they simply don’t have the ability to control it. Very few people can remain calm after suddenly receiving tens of millions. Therefore, many people who suddenly win the lottery don’t end up living very happily.

If Zhao Hai had forcibly increased the strength of the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples, it wouldn’t have made much difference. If he had suddenly boosted their strength without allowing them the process of reflection and cultivation, their understanding of power would never be thorough, potentially limiting their potential for further improvement. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn’t directly increase their strength but provided them with the best environment to cultivate on their own. This way, their potential wouldn’t be limited, which is a good thing.

The reason Zhao Hai had the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples attack the people of the Divine Kingdom was because for cultivators to improve their strength, cultivation alone is insufficient; they must also engage in combat. Sometimes, a cultivator’s ideas may differ greatly from reality, so they must use battle to see if their ideas are wrong—this is extremely important.

While it’s impossible for Zhao Hai to abandon the Blood Slaughter Sect, Gongliang Juewen also noticed that Zhao Hai had been cultivating the sect’s independence. He seemed to constantly ponder how the sect would develop if he were gone. Zhao Hai worried that if the sect members became too dependent on him, they wouldn’t be able to survive. Therefore, he was consistently nurturing the sect’s independence.

The disciples below might not understand Zhao Hai’s approach. In their eyes, the Blood Slaughter Sect and Zhao Hai were one entity; he couldn’t possibly leave the sect, so his actions seemed redundant.

However, Gongliang Juewen, as a superior, or rather, as an emperor and a family head, could understand Zhao Hai’s actions very well. Over the years, Gongliang Juewen had been maintaining a balance within the Divine Kingdom, suppressing various forces. Even when there were no enemies, he would cultivate several to prevent them from uniting or peacefully developing their own power. On the other hand, he was also focusing all his efforts on developing the Gongliang family. He understood perfectly that, no matter what, the strength of the Gongliang family was the foundation of everything. In his view, what Zhao Hai was doing was essentially the same as what he himself was doing, so he could particularly understand Zhao Hai.

It was precisely because he understood Zhao Hai that Gongliang Juewen respected him even more. He knew perfectly well that everything Zhao Hai did was truly for the sake of the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Meanwhile, Wan Hai had already returned to the Wan family. Upon his return, he summoned all the elders of the Wan family to his study. After they arrived, Wan Hai directly told them about the contents of their discussion that day. After he finished speaking, the elders were quite surprised. One of the elders said, “In that case, it’s a good thing. Letting the people of the Creation God Sect fight against the people of the Blood Slaughter Sect will greatly reduce our losses.” The others all nodded in agreement.

Wan Hai glanced at them and then said, “I have another idea. Why don’t we take advantage of this opportunity to earn more benefits for the family?”

The elders all looked at Wan Hai with some confusion. Wan Hai looked at them and then said, “His Majesty has issued hunting and garrison missions, and there will be rewards. Some of these rewards will come from our family, and of course, some from other families, but most of them will come from the national treasury. This is a good opportunity to earn more benefits. If our family members can take on more missions, kill more Blood Slaughter Sect members, and capture more ordinary people from Blood Slaughter Sect, then wouldn’t we be able to obtain these benefits? Moreover, His Majesty will not only not blame us for doing so, but will also reward us. This is definitely a good thing.”

Upon hearing Wan Hai’s words, one elder couldn’t help but frown and said, “This is indeed a good thing, but Patriarch, doing so will also result in significant losses. After so many battles, Patriarch should know the strength of the Blood Slaughter Sect. Their strength is too great. It will be extremely difficult for us to gain an advantage against them. If we send our family members…” “If our disciples enter their territory to kill or kidnap people, and they’re discovered, those people might not be able to return. In that case, our losses will far outweigh our gains; it’s not worth it.”

Wan Hai glanced at them and then continued, “What if the strength of our family’s disciples suddenly increases?”

The elders were all taken aback, then a thought flashed through their minds, and they immediately understood Wan Hai’s meaning. However, their expressions all changed. One elder hurriedly said, “No, Patriarch, this is absolutely unacceptable! We absolutely cannot allow the family…” “It’s absolutely unacceptable for the people of this village to worship the Creation God Cult.”

Wan Hai glanced at the elder and continued, “I understand your thinking, Twelfth Uncle. Once you worship the Creation God Cult, it’s impossible to break away. If His Majesty were to truly purge the Creation God Cult in the future, then everyone who worships the Creation God Cult will be purged. If our family worships the Creation God Cult, then our family will also be purged. That’s why you disagree with your family’s disciples worshipping the Creation God Cult. But what if we don’t allow all our family’s disciples to worship the Creation God Cult? Wouldn’t that solve the problem?”
