Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16387
Chapter 16385. Decision
The elders understood Wan Hai’s subtext: he said he wouldn’t allow everyone in the Wan family to believe in the Creation God Cult, which meant he intended to have a portion of the Wan family follow the Creation God Cult.
Instead of immediately objecting, the elders carefully considered Wan Hai’s suggestion. Looking at their expressions, Wan Hai continued, “Over the years, the number of disciples in our Wan family has increased significantly. Among them are members of our main family, those born into the family, and some rogue cultivators we’ve taken in. Some of these people have great potential and we can focus on nurturing them, but many others have lost their potential. If we encourage them to follow the Creation God Sect, their strength might increase once again. Although they will follow the Creation God Sect, they will still be members of the family. We can then send them to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect, allowing them to obtain the rewards.”
The elders of the Wan family fell silent after hearing his words. They understood perfectly what Wan Hai meant. His words sounded good, as if he were doing it for the benefit of those clansmen who lacked potential. By encouraging them to follow the Creation God Sect, their strength would increase, allowing them to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect and obtain rewards. While some of these rewards would go to the family, those who participated in the attack would also receive a considerable share. It certainly seemed to be for their own good.
However, these elders were well aware that once those people embarked on this path, it meant they would be labeled as members of the Creation God Cult. If the Divine Kingdom were to purge the Creation God Cult, those clansmen who believed in the Creation God Cult would not fare well either. In fact, from the moment those clansmen began to believe in the Creation God Cult, they were essentially abandoned by the family. This was why Wan Hai sought out clansmen without potential, because even if they abandoned them, it would not have any impact on the Wan family.
To be honest, they were really reluctant to abandon those clansmen. At this moment, an elder spoke up, “Clan leader, your suggestion is actually feasible, but if it’s just the most ordinary reward, then we don’t really need to do this, unless there’s a reward that’s attractive enough for us.”
Wan Hai was taken aback, then looked at the elder and asked with some confusion, “Fifth Uncle, what do you mean?”
Fifth Uncle said, “We can discuss it with His Majesty. If we can accumulate those rewards and exchange them for things like territory or mines when they reach a certain level, then it’s acceptable for us to have our clan disciples do this. Otherwise, it’s really not necessary to do this with just ordinary rewards.”
Hearing what Fifth Uncle said, Wan Hai’s eyes lit up. He said, “Fifth Uncle’s suggestion is good. If it’s really feasible, we can try it. Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll write to His Majesty now and ask him if he agrees to this suggestion.” After saying that, he immediately took out a jade slip, entered some information into it, and then called someone to send the jade slip to Gongliang Juewen immediately.
When Wan Hai and Gongliang Juewen contacted each other, it wasn’t possible for them to directly exchange letters. Instead, specific people were assigned to handle the matter. The Wan family had dedicated personnel responsible for sending messages and even inputting content into the jade slip, while Gongliang Juewen had dedicated personnel for receiving and sending messages—these were the bare minimums.
Gongliang Juewen quickly received Wan Hai’s letter. After reading its contents, he considered it and ultimately agreed to Wan Hai’s proposal. He immediately had someone reply to Wan Hai, and he not only informed Wan Hai but also other families and sects—everyone he could reach. After all, such benefits shouldn’t be solely enjoyed by the Wan family; everyone could participate. Gongliang Juewen was well aware that if he agreed to this proposal, all sects and families would be motivated to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect with all their might. However, he wasn’t worried; he had confidence in the Blood Slaughter Sect.
He’s becoming more and more like a disciple of the Blood Slaughter Sect. The current Blood Slaughter Sect disciples have an incredibly strong faith in the sect, and he’s the same.
When the various sects and families received Gongliang Juewen’s letter, they immediately understood his meaning: he was encouraging them to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect. Many families and sects hadn’t even considered having their less promising disciples convert to the Creation God Sect; they’d only thought of sending their own disciples to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect.
However, Wan Ling received Wan Hai’s letter and already knew his family’s plans. When he saw Wan Hai say that some less promising disciples would be selected to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect, he already understood his family’s intentions. What surprised him was that Wan Hai actually agreed to have those disciples convert to the Creation God Sect—something he hadn’t expected.
However, he quickly understood Wan Hai’s meaning. He knew that those chosen had essentially been abandoned by the family, but he didn’t object. From a personal perspective, the Wan family’s decision seemed incredibly cruel. You were chosen because you were abandoned, and your death was merely to secure greater benefits for the family—it was too cruel for an individual.
But from the perspective of the entire family, this decision was beneficial, and very beneficial. Sacrificing some family members to secure more benefits for the family, and possibly even allowing the family to grow stronger, was incredibly attractive to a large family.
Family disciples are nurtured by their families from a young age, provided with a stable cultivation environment so they can cultivate in peace. When it comes to sacrifices for the family, they must also make sacrifices for the family. This is similar to the family’s trained assassins; they provide food, drink, shelter, and even take care of your family, eliminating any worries. But when it comes to truly fighting, you must fight to the death. The same applies to family disciples. As a family disciple, you have received so many benefits from the family, so when it comes to sacrificing for the family’s development, you cannot shirk your responsibility. This is the duty of a family disciple.
The same applies to sects. As a disciple of a sect, you have been nurtured by it, and when the sect needs you to sacrifice for it, you cannot shirk your duty.
It was precisely for this reason that Wan Ling did not object to this matter. On the contrary, he felt that the family’s decision was correct. He needed to make some preparations in advance, so he directly sent someone to a small family that had already confirmed their faith in the Creation God Sect and invited the family head to his room.
When the patriarch of the small clan arrived at Wan Ling’s room, Wan Ling looked at him and said, “Patriarch Li, I’ve invited you here today because I have something to discuss with you. During the previous battle, someone saw your clan’s disciples being killed, their bodies turning into black smoke and disappearing. What explanation do you have for this?” Patriarch
Li’s expression changed upon hearing Wan Ling’s words. He looked at Wan Ling and found him staring directly at him. It was clear Wan Ling wasn’t testing him, which meant he had no choice but to confess. Just as he was about to plead guilty, he suddenly noticed something: Wan Ling didn’t seem to harbor any murderous intent. In other words, Wan Ling hadn’t intended to kill him.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately understood that Wan Ling had summoned him not to kill him. So, what was his purpose? Clan Chief Li tentatively said, “Elder Wan, our family members have indeed come to believe in the Creation God Sect. However, please rest assured, Elder Wan, we have only recently become believers in the Creation God Sect. We had no connection with the Creation God Sect before. We have no other choice now; our family’s strength is too weak. We just want to use this method to improve our family’s combat power. Please do not report this matter to higher authorities. Give the Li family a way to survive. The Li family is willing to follow the Wan family’s lead.” He thought that Wan Ling wanted to help the Wan family subdue them, which was why he had no murderous intent, so he brought it up directly.
After hearing his words, Wan Ling was slightly taken aback at first, then he couldn’t help but smile and say, “Li clansman, you don’t need to be nervous. The truth is not as you imagine. In fact, His Majesty already knows about this matter. His Majesty’s intention is that the previous Creation God Sect has been eliminated, and you have no connection with it anymore. Although His Majesty will not explicitly issue an edict to make the Creation God Sect the state religion again, nor will he immediately declare you legal, he will not punish those of you who believe in the Creation God Sect. As for how the Creation God Sect will be dealt with in the future, it will depend on your performance when facing the Blood Slaughter Sect. If you perform well, then after dealing with the Blood Slaughter Sect…” “His Majesty might legitimize the Creation God Sect again.”
Upon hearing Wan Ling’s words, Clan Chief Li was initially taken aback, but then his eyes lit up. He immediately asked Wan Ling, “Elder Wan, is what you’re saying true?”
Wan Ling nodded and continued, “I’ve received orders from above, so you can rest assured. No one will come to kill you; you are safe now.”
Clan Chief Li nodded excitedly and then said, “Thank you for telling us this news, Elder Wan.”
Wan Ling waved his hand and said, “No need to be so polite. I invited you here today for two reasons: first, to tell you this news, and second, because I need your help with something.” At this point, Wan Ling paused and glanced at Clan Chief Li.
Clan Chief Li quickly replied, “Elder Wan, please speak. We will certainly assist you in any way we can.”
Wan Ling looked at Clan Chief Li and then said, “In a while, some people will be coming to the base. At that time, we would like to ask Clan Chief Li for help in persuading them to join the Creation God Cult. What do you think, Clan Chief Li?”
Upon hearing Wan Ling’s words, Clan Chief Li was taken aback. He looked at Wan Ling with some surprise and then said, “Of course, there is no problem. Elder Wan, just have someone inform me when the time comes.”
