Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16475

Chapter 16473 The Family

Reality can be absurd at times. These people dared to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect because the sect could resurrect them. But when they learned that the sect wouldn’t resurrect them, they stopped fighting. Their confidence actually came from their opponent.

Looking at their expressions, Qingxuan spoke directly: “Now you all know what happened. No one wants to die, but if we don’t surrender this time, we really will. So I hope everyone makes a rational choice. If at this point you still think we shouldn’t surrender, then there’s nothing more to say; we’ll fight the Blood Slaughter Sect directly. If you agree to surrender, then our next step is to persuade the disciples below, tell them we surrender. As long as they all agree, then we can surrender directly, and everyone can join the Blood Slaughter Sect safely.” Hearing this,

the crowd exchanged glances, and then an elder spoke up: “Since the Sect Master has already said this much, there’s no need for us to pretend anymore. None of us want to die, so I surrender.”

The others nodded in agreement, and then another elder added: “I also agree to surrender.” Seeing that everyone agreed, Qingxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they all agreed; otherwise, he really wouldn’t have been able to explain himself to the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Qingxuan glanced at everyone and then said, “It’s good that everyone agrees. Now let’s move on to the second step: telling the disciples about this matter. My idea is to arrange it layer by layer. After you all go back, tell your respective families about this, then tell the managing elders, and finally have the managing elders tell the disciples. How about that? No problem, right?”

The Tianxuan Sect has been established for many years. Although most of its members are Taoists, they do not prohibit marriage. Because of this, they all have their own families, and these families are all prominent within the sect. As long as these prominent families agree to join the Blood Slaughter Sect, this matter will be much easier. The ordinary disciples don’t really have much of a choice.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that there was no problem. Qingxuan then let them leave. Everyone stood up, bowed to Qingxuan, and then turned and left. After they left, Qingxuan returned to his room. He still had many things to arrange, and the surrender needed to be done as soon as possible.

In fact, it wasn’t just the Tianxuan Sect; other sects and families faced the same situation. After returning, they all discussed the matter with the powerful elders within their families. They needed to get their consent first, and then proceed layer by layer downwards. Going down from top to bottom was much less effort than going up from bottom to top.

What Qingxuan and the others didn’t know was that every sect and family had members of the Blood Slaughter Sect, and these people held high positions. They had already received orders from the Blood Slaughter Sect to monitor each sect and family to see if they were truly willing to surrender. After observing the situation of each sect and family, they understood that they were indeed genuinely surrendering, and they reported this matter to the Blood Slaughter Sect.

After receiving the news, Chang Jun and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. Chang Jun then gathered everyone together, and they arrived quickly. This included Gongliang Juewen, whose status within the Blood Slaughter Sect was actually quite high; he was Wen Wenhai’s disciple, so Chang Jun and the others naturally felt a sense of closeness to him.

Once everyone had arrived, Chang Jun smiled and said, “Alright, things here in the Divine Kingdom are basically settled now. Those sects and families are all surrendering, which is definitely good news for us. However, what we should do next after their surrender is indeed a problem. Does anyone have anything to say?”

Bai Yan and the others exchanged glances, and then Bai Yan spoke up, “No matter what, we must take over the Divine Kingdom continent. Just taking over this continent will take some time, and we can use this time to let the people of the Divine Kingdom understand the sects. And there’s another thing we must do.”

He paused here… He paused for a moment, then glanced at the others before speaking, “We must unify the sect’s thinking.”

Chang Jun and the others were taken aback, then looked at Bai Yan with some confusion. Bai Yan looked at them and continued, “I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but since the sect has grown in number, many families within the sect have become increasingly united. They seem to be slowly forming factions. Although these family forces can’t threaten the sect, this isn’t a good thing in the long run. While the sect never lacks resources, it desires a fair environment for everyone to cultivate. It is precisely because of this…” Therefore, exchanging for valuable items within the sect is not an easy task. Previously, everyone acted independently, diligently completing tasks to acquire good items, which was fair. However, now that families have established their power, they concentrate their resources to cultivate one or two individuals, exchanging them for the sect’s best cultivation techniques or resources. The sect doesn’t strictly regulate this, meaning that the cultivation techniques exchanged by these families can be passed on to other members, potentially boosting their family’s strength in a short time. This is extremely unfair to others. In fact, preventing them from doing so wouldn’t be fair to these families either. “So this matter is quite difficult to handle.”

Upon hearing this, Chang Jun and the others’ expressions all changed. They didn’t like people in the sect forming cliques. Although they also had their own forces, their power was determined by recruiting disciples, and they would only teach those disciples techniques and guide their cultivation, but they wouldn’t give them any extra help. This was because they were very clear that once people like them formed a separate force, they would gradually become selfish. And once they became selfish, various forces, large and small, would gradually form within the Blood Slaughter Sect, which could lead to all sorts of conflicts within the sect, something they did not want to see.

They had always hoped that the Blood Slaughter Sect would be in an ideal state: free of internal factions, where everyone considered themselves part of the sect, not a small group. The Blood Slaughter Sect was simply too large; too many small groups would inevitably cause problems later. Their biggest worry wasn’t the emergence of small groups within the sect, but rather that Zhao Hai would become disappointed in them.

Zhao Hai didn’t oppose small groups within the sect, but he hoped that even with them, the sect would remain united. However, if there were too many small groups, even if unity was maintained now, the future was uncertain. If internal strife broke out, the consequences would be dire. If Zhao Hai became disillusioned with the sect and abandoned them, that would be the sect’s greatest disaster.

This was why they were so nervous when Bai Yan mentioned that small groups already existed within the sect. They genuinely worried that the number of small groups within the sect would increase, and if that happened, it would truly be a serious problem.

Upon thinking of this, Chang Jun immediately said, “This matter must be told to Old Wen, and I even think it’s necessary to let the young master know.”

Everyone nodded. Suddenly, a voice rang out, “We already knew.” Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was Zhao Hai, with Wen Wenhai standing beside him.

As soon as they saw Zhao Hai and Wen Wenhai approaching, they all stood up and bowed to them. Zhao Hai nodded and then said, “No need to be so polite, please sit down.” Everyone responded and sat down.

After they were all seated, Zhao Hai then said, “What you’re saying about some family matters within the sect, I already knew about it. Wenhai also discovered it a long time ago and reported it to me immediately. I didn’t let him get involved.”

Although Chang Jun and the others didn’t know why Zhao Hai did this, they didn’t ask further. They believed that Zhao Hai must have his reasons.

Zhao Hai glanced at everyone and then said, “You’ve all followed me for so many years; you’re the people I trust most, and you would never betray me. So I have absolute confidence in you. But those newcomers, even if they’re from the undead race, I can’t completely trust them. Human selfishness is endless. Maybe one day their selfishness can overcome their loyalty to me; who knows?”

Chang Jun and the others looked extremely grim. Of course, they would never betray Zhao Hai, but if someone’s selfishness could overcome their loyalty to him, that was something they absolutely could not accept.

Zhao Hai looked at them and then smiled slightly, saying, “So, the families in the sect now are actually a selection mechanism. If they won’t betray me, I can allow their small families to exist and allow them to have some selfish motives. But if they dare to betray me, I will abandon them directly. However, I will spare their lives, but I will expel them from the sect, and then they will have to fend for themselves.”

Chang Jun and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words. Then Chang Jun looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Young Master, if we really do that, won’t all our efforts have been in vain? We’ve brought so many people into the sect, and if they betray us, we’ll have to expel them. Won’t all our efforts have been wasted?”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “How could it be wasted? Actually, I think it’s better if those people don’t betray me. If they do, then we can just expel them. Besides, the more people we bring into the sect, the less we’ll feel the pain of losing them, right?” (End of Chapter)
