Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16401

Chapter 16399: Establishing the Clan

“Elder Meng, you’re really not being fair! With such a wonderful place as the Blood Slaughter Sect, why did you only let us join now?” A rogue cultivator looked at Elder Meng with some dissatisfaction. He was already a member of the Blood Slaughter Sect, and he had even entered the sect and received its benefits.

It was precisely because they had entered the Blood Slaughter Sect that they knew how powerful it was, and that’s why they felt Elder Meng should have let them join sooner.

Elder Meng glanced at them and then said, “If I had told you before that the Blood Slaughter Sect was like this, would you have believed me?”

Hearing this, the group was taken aback. They exchanged glances and then all shook their heads. Elder Meng was right. If he had told them before that the Blood Slaughter Sect was like this, they would never have believed him, because the conditions offered by the Blood Slaughter Sect were simply too good.

Looking at them, Elder Meng smiled slightly and said, “Alright, we should go out now. Everyone who came to the sect’s territory with us this time will become members of the sect, and they will all go back. After they return, we can start building our own sect. According to the sect’s plan, we will build our own sect and then join the sect alliance. Once we join the sect alliance, the sect will have a foothold there, making it much easier to deal with the sect alliance later.”

Everyone agreed, and then they all left the Blood Slaughter Sect. When they got outside, they found themselves back in the village, and the villagers had reappeared. Elder Meng looked at them, and they looked back at him. The villagers nodded to Elder Meng and the others. Elder Meng didn’t say anything more; he understood their meaning. So he simply moved his hand, and a small wooden boat appeared in front of him.

The small wooden boat was tiny, only the size of a palm, but Old Meng tossed it out. In the next instant, it expanded in the wind, transforming into a large boat about ten zhang long. The boat itself was quite simple, without any elaborate decorations; it was clearly a very ordinary vessel.

Old Meng immediately had the villagers board the boat. The cabin was quite spacious, easily accommodating the entire village of over three hundred people.

After everyone was on board, Old Meng and his group boarded the large boat and flew directly towards the Thousand Lotus Mountain defense line. They quickly returned to Hu Yang City. Upon arrival, they immediately went to complete their mission. This time, all their missions were recorded under Old Meng’s name, a permissible practice, so no one objected.

Soon, all the rogue cultivators returned. Only half, or 50,000, remained. Each of these 50,000 brought back one person, and all of them were registered under Elder Meng’s name. This gave Elder Meng over 50,000 military merits.

Elder Meng questioned those people, and they confirmed that they had indeed become disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect. The half who hadn’t returned naturally remained within the sect; it would be strange if they suffered no losses. Therefore, the loss of this half was deliberately arranged by the Blood Slaughter Sect.

The next day, Elder Meng and his men went out again to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect. This time they suffered some losses, but not much. Some rogue cultivators even managed to capture two people at a time. After two attacks, Elder Meng’s military merits had reached 100,000.

General Li immediately reported the matter to Gongliang Juewen. Gongliang Juewen didn’t say much and directly allocated a permanent fiefdom to Elder Meng and his group. This permanent fiefdom was located between the first and second lines of defense. The specific location was chosen by Elder Meng himself; he selected a small mountain with a spiritual vein as his fiefdom. Although the mountain wasn’t very high, it was quite precipitous, indeed suitable for establishing a small sect.

Subsequently, Elder Meng and his group established a small sect, which they decided to call the Eight Tigers Sect, because the eight kingdom-level experts who initially founded the sect were the eight of them.

After the sect was established, Elder Meng arranged for four kingdom-level experts to lead 20,000 rogue cultivators to the small mountain they now called Eight Tigers Mountain to establish the sect, while he led the remaining three kingdom-level experts and the remaining 20,000 members of the Eight Tigers Sect to continue their missions at the front lines.

Not only did Elder Meng and his group continue their kidnapping missions, they were also recruiting to strengthen the Eight Tigers Sect. Their actions quickly made them a legend on the front lines.

The people on the front lines were suffering greatly. Whether it was the major sects or the powerful families, they were too cautious to launch a large-scale attack on the Blood Slaughter Sect. Even the Heavenly Profound Sect, while assigning tasks to their subordinate cultivators, controlled them and refrained from a large-scale attack on the Blood Slaughter Sect.

At present, Tianxuan Sect has only accumulated tens of thousands of military merits, which is not enough to exchange for fiefdoms. However, the success of Elder Meng and his group has made all the major families and sects anxious. They really did not expect that Gongliang Juewen would actually give them the merits, which surprised them greatly. Some families and sects only realized now that this could be done. They could have those rogue cultivators kidnap people and then credit the military merits to them. They would directly give those rogue cultivators supplies. In this way, although they provided the supplies, they also gained the military merits. Do those families and sects lack supplies? Obviously not. What they lack is fiefdoms. After discovering that they could have rogue cultivators help them earn military merits, all the families and sects became excited. They immediately began to intensify their attacks on Xue Sha Sect. They all wanted to obtain fiefdoms as soon as possible.

Their actions inflated the value of military merit, making it suddenly much more valuable. This created a situation where, although the Divine Kingdom had set a price for military merit, the various aristocratic families and sects offered higher prices. Furthermore, after capturing members of the Blood Slaughter Sect, the rogue cultivators directly registered them under the names of these families and sects. When they went to these families or sects to collect supplies, the Divine Kingdom couldn’t distribute its own supplies because all the military merit was being hoarded and used to exchange for fiefdoms. The

Heavenly Profound Sect was the second to receive a fiefdom. They had already accumulated tens of thousands of military merits, but upon seeing Elder Meng’s success, they panicked and immediately intensified their attacks on the Blood Slaughter Sect. Within two days, they had accumulated 100,000 military merits, and they immediately exchanged them for fiefdoms—the Heavenly Profound Sect’s main hall.

The main hall of the Tianxuan Sect had actually been purchased by the sect long ago. However, the area they initially bought wasn’t very large. The Tianxuan Sect’s main hall is now much larger than the area they originally purchased. Since they occupied that area, no one dared to buy land there anymore. The royal family also couldn’t take back the land that the Tianxuan Sect hadn’t bought but was using. So, the area has remained under the Tianxuan Sect’s control. However, the Tianxuan Sect still has to pay taxes to the Divine Kingdom every year, regardless of whether it’s land they bought or land they occupied. Although the amount isn’t much each year, it’s not insignificant either. That’s why the Tianxuan Sect wanted the thousand acres of land near their main hall that they had occupied as their permanent fiefdom. It’s important to know that permanent fiefdoms are tax-free.

Subsequently, other sects also received their fiefdoms one after another. Elder Meng and his group hadn’t been idle during this time either; they recruited many disciples, and these disciples worked together on missions. Soon, they earned another 100,000 military merits, allowing them to request another fiefdom. This fiefdom was located next to Eight Tiger Mountain, contiguous with their previous 1,000 mu of land.

Besides constantly completing missions, Elder Meng and his group did something else: they joined the Sect Alliance. Because the process of Elder Meng and his group establishing the Eight Tiger Sect was so legendary, it naturally attracted a lot of attention. The members of the Sect Alliance didn’t suspect them, so they joined smoothly. Although they weren’t yet a large sect and couldn’t participate in high-level meetings, they were now members of the Sect Alliance.

Although various powerful families and sects acquired fiefdoms during this period, some even acquiring more than one, their losses were substantial. Each attack on the Blood Slaughter Sect resulted in approximately 50% casualties, meaning they lost nearly half their forces in every operation. However, for the major sects and families, this was insignificant, as the losses of rogue cultivators were irrelevant to them.

Surprisingly, despite the heavy losses among rogue cultivators, some actually grew stronger in the battles, some even reaching the Kingdom level. Remarkably, these rogue cultivators hadn’t joined the Creation God Cult yet, which was truly astonishing.

Soon, those newly reached Kingdom-level rogue cultivators became targets for recruitment by various sects. Their choice, however, surprised everyone: they joined the Eight Tigers Sect, becoming its members. This resulted in another loss for the Eight Tigers Sect, which now boasted over a dozen Kingdom-level experts – a truly unexpected turn of events.

However, the major sects and powerful families understood why these rogue cultivators chose to join. The Eight Tigers Sect was a new sect, founded by rogue cultivators, essentially a blank slate. Joining it allowed them to reap the initial benefits, making it the best option for them.
