Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16399

Chapter 16397 Surrender

General Li looked at Old Meng, and suddenly an idea struck him. He then said to Old Meng, “Old Meng, there is actually another way that can make it easier for you to complete this mission.”

Old Meng was taken aback upon hearing this, and then looked at General Li with some confusion, asking, “What way?”

General Li smiled slightly and said, “Join us.”

Old Meng was stunned, then frowned and looked at General Li, saying, “I’m sorry, General Li, I actually don’t want to join the military…” Before he could finish speaking, General Li waved his hand, stopping him.

Old Meng looked at General Li with some confusion. General Li, seeing Old Meng’s expression, smiled slightly and said, “I wasn’t talking about the military, but the Blood Slaughter Sect.”

Old Meng was taken aback, then looked at General Li with further confusion, thinking that General Li had made a mistake. General Li, seeing his expression, smiled slightly and said, “Do you think I made a mistake? Actually, I didn’t. I was talking about the Blood Slaughter Sect. Haven’t you heard of it? The Blood Slaughter Sect that you know is currently at war with us.”

Old Meng’s expression changed immediately. He looked at General Li and then said in a deep voice, “What exactly is going on? Could this be a scheme you and the royal family orchestrated? To target those sects and aristocratic families?”

Over the years, Old Meng had encountered all sorts of things. Precisely because of this, after hearing General Li’s words, his first thought was not that the Blood Slaughter Sect had already taken control of General Li, but rather that this might be a scheme set up by the royal family, the military, and the Blood Slaughter Sect, with the aim of targeting the aristocratic families and sects.

Upon hearing Elder Meng’s words, General Li smiled slightly and said, “Elder Meng, you’re mistaken. This isn’t some scheme we set up with the royal family. In fact, we and the royal family have all joined the Blood Slaughter Sect. We’re actually dealing with sects and aristocratic families now.”

Elder Meng looked at General Li and said in a deep voice, “General Li, are you serious?”

General Li nodded and said, “Of course I’m serious, as serious as it gets.”

Elder Meng looked at General Li and said, “I think I need an explanation.”

General Li looked at Elder Meng and said, “Elder Meng, this matter can’t be explained in a few words, but if you join us, you’ll know everything.”

Elder Meng stared intently at General Li, then said in a deep voice, “So you mean, if I don’t join you, I can’t leave today?”

General Li smiled slightly and said, “Yes, it seems you understand what I mean. If you don’t join us today, you can’t leave.”

Elder Meng looked at General Li and suddenly asked, “If I join you, what will happen?”

General Li said… “It’s very simple. We’ll arrange for someone to be kidnapped by you, allowing you to complete the mission in the shortest time possible. Then we’ll grant you land and let you establish your sect. This way, you can join the Sect Alliance. Once you join, it’s like we’ve planted a thorn in the side of the alliance, making it much easier for us to deal with them in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Meng was taken aback. He looked at General Li and asked, “Is it really that simple?”

General Li smiled slightly and said, “Yes, it’s that simple.”

Elder Meng looked at General Li and asked, “Then how can you guarantee I won’t betray you?”

General Li smiled slightly and said, “We naturally have our methods to ensure you won’t betray us. In fact, once you join the sect, even if I allow you to betray it, you won’t do it. No one in this world can refuse to join the Blood Slaughter Sect, including His Majesty.”

Elder Meng stared blankly at General Li, not expecting him to utter such arrogant words. General Li, seeing his expression, couldn’t help but smile slightly and said, “You don’t believe me, do you? Well then, if you agree to join us, I’ll tell you why you won’t betray the sect.”

Elder Meng, looking at General Li, suddenly spoke up, “I’m curious, what if I really don’t agree? Are you really that confident you can keep me here?”

General Li, seeing Elder Meng’s expression, couldn’t help but smile slightly. “I know Elder Meng, your strength is considerable, but you may not know what you’re about to face. This isn’t the General Li of the past, but the General Li of the Blood Slaughter Sect.”

As soon as General Li finished speaking, Elder Meng felt a flash of light around him, and then he found himself enveloped in a protective shield. He recognized this shield; it was the Blood Slaughter Sect’s deformable shield.

Elder Meng looked at General Li in surprise. General Li smiled slightly and said, “These are just some of the sect’s simplest methods. If you don’t agree to join us, you definitely won’t be able to leave. Of course, even if you die, you will still join us.”

Elder Meng looked at General Li, but he didn’t ask how he could join the Blood Slaughter Sect if he died. As a rogue cultivator, he had seen all sorts of methods, including one from a demonic cultivator who could turn people into puppets. These puppets, if well-made, could be indistinguishable from real people, so Elder Meng didn’t ask such a question.

General Li looked at Elder Meng and smiled slightly, saying, “Elder Meng, you can decide now whether you want to join us or not.”

Elder Meng took a deep breath and then said, “I’ll join.” He was a rogue cultivator, so loyalty wasn’t a concept for him; he only needed to be loyal to himself. Therefore, he had no psychological burden about joining the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Upon hearing Elder Meng’s words, General Li smiled slightly and said, “That’s good. I’m going to place a restriction on you; just don’t resist.” Elder Meng nodded. General Li waved his hand, and a rune landed directly on Elder Meng’s body. Elder Meng’s body stiffened, and it took him a while to recover. He then let out a long breath and looked at General Li, saying in a deep voice, “I know what to do; please rest assured.”

General Li nodded, then moved his hand, and a magic array appeared in his hand. He gave the array to Elder Meng and said, “Take this array; as long as no one disturbs you…” “When the time comes, you can enter the sect and claim all the sect’s benefits.”

Elder Meng responded, accepting the magic array. General Li waved his hand and said, “Alright, go back now. When you get back, tell them what I said. The supplies are available for you, and I agree with your approach. The sect will help you complete the mission as quickly as possible so that your sect can be established.”

Elder Meng responded, then stood up, bowed to General Li, and turned to leave. After he left, General Li breathed a sigh of relief. Turning Elder Meng into one of their own was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but fortunately, it had succeeded.

Elder Meng quickly returned to his room and immediately wrote to the other kingdom-level rogue cultivators, asking them to come to his room for a meeting. Then he sat quietly in his room, digesting everything he had learned about the Blood Slaughter Sect. He knew that he was now a member of the undead race, and he was a member of the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Soon, the others arrived at Elder Meng’s room. Once they were there, Elder Meng looked at them and said, “I just asked General Li, and he agreed to exchange supplies for us. He also agreed to our approach. This means we can openly find others to help us complete this mission and thus obtain fiefdoms. How’s the situation on your end?”

The others were overjoyed to hear this. One of them spoke up, “Our progress here is also going smoothly. Many people are willing to join us; we’ve already received over ten thousand offers. But now there’s a problem: if too many join us, will we be able to afford to support them? After all…” “A thousand acres of fiefdom isn’t really that big.”

After hearing his words, Elder Meng immediately said, “No problem. Even small sects usually have hundreds of thousands of disciples. We don’t need too many this time, 100,000 will be fine. We’ll only take in 100,000, and stop when we’ve taken them all.”

Upon hearing Elder Meng’s words, the group exchanged glances, somewhat surprised. They had originally thought that with their resources, taking in 10,000 disciples to establish their sect would be the best outcome. They hadn’t expected Elder Meng to increase that number tenfold, which greatly surprised them. At the same time, they were also worried that if they really took in 100,000 disciples but couldn’t afford to support them, they would become the biggest laughing stock in the Divine Kingdom.

Elder Meng, seeing their expressions, knew what they were thinking. In the past, he certainly wouldn’t have taken in 100,000 disciples at once, but now he was truly not worried at all. With General Li and the Blood Slaughter Sect supporting him, what did he have to worry about? They could definitely support 100,000 people. Thinking of this, he immediately said to everyone, “Don’t worry, everyone. You don’t need to worry about the supplies. I’ll figure something out. There’s absolutely no problem with 100,000 people.”

Hearing this, the others knew he must have a way to get more supplies. They exchanged glances and said nothing more; after all, Elder Meng only cared about getting the supplies.

At this moment, a rogue cultivator spoke up, “Then we’ll trouble Elder Meng with the matter of exchanging supplies. We’ll go find other rogue cultivators now and get them to join us.” With that, he moved his hand, and several more items appeared in his hand. These were all high-quality materials he had saved. He didn’t need them, but such good things were truly rare and hard to come by, so he had kept them all. However, the current situation was special, so he took them out.

The rogue cultivator handed the items to Elder Meng and said, “Elder Meng, I don’t have many good things on me. Please keep these and use them to exchange for more supplies.”

Elder Meng didn’t stand on ceremony and nodded, saying, “Alright, don’t worry.” The man nodded, gave the items to Elder Meng, and sat down again. Seeing this, the others followed suit, all taking out some good items to give to Elder Meng. Of course, none of the items they took out were their best. They were reluctant to give up their best items to exchange for ordinary supplies. They knew that good things were truly hard to come by, and if they took them out today, they might not be able to find them again later. Therefore, none of the items they took out were their best.
