Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16485
Chapter 16483 Notice
Wen Jing felt the time was right. He glanced at the elders and then said, “I think you all know my thoughts. I also want to disband the Zhenyu Sect. To be honest, I also feel that the Zhenyu Sect has no need to exist anymore. If we disband the Zhenyu Sect now, we can still maintain some goodwill with those disciples. But if we don’t disband it, we might end up becoming enemies, with no goodwill left. Although even if we don’t disband the Zhenyu Sect, we will still be fellow disciples, and they can’t do anything to us, the sect is so big. If they really don’t want to see us or help us, there’s nothing we can do. So rather than us becoming enemies, it’s better to maintain some goodwill like we do now.” The
elders and hall masters all fell silent. To be honest, they were really reluctant to disband the Zhenyu Sect. After all, it was the sect they had fought for their whole lives, and now that it was about to be disbanded, they were still reluctant to let it go.
However, they were also very clear that Wen Jing was right. If they didn’t disband the sect, they and those disciples would likely become enemies.
Wen Jing looked at the elders and hall masters and continued, “I know everyone is reluctant to disband the sect. To be honest, I’m a little reluctant too, but I feel this step is necessary. Of course, everyone can go back and think it over carefully. If you really don’t want to disband the sect, then we’ll find another way.”
Upon hearing Wen Jing’s words, the elders and hall masters exchanged glances, then nodded. They all stood up, bowed to Wen Jing, and then turned and left.
Wen Jing watched them leave without saying anything. He simply summoned all the elders of the Wen family to his study. Once they were seated, Wen Jing invited them to sit down. After they were all seated, Wen Jing spoke directly: “I have formally informed the elders that I intend to disband the Zhenyu Sect. What do you think of this?”
The Wen family elders were all taken aback. They looked at Wen Jing with some confusion. Wen Cheng said, “Brother, have you thought this through? I think it’s better to disband it. Now that we’ve all joined sects, keeping the Zhenyu Sect would seem incongruous. It’s better to disband it sooner rather than later.”
“Will they agree?” another elder asked.
Another elder spoke up, “The sect’s conditions are far too good. To be honest, the moment I learned about them, I knew the Zhenyu Sect wouldn’t last long. Because the conditions are so favorable, how could those disciples willingly obey the Zhenyu Sect after staying there for so long? If some disciples are favored and given special training by the sect, their status will likely surpass ours. In that case, expecting them to listen to us is unrealistic.”
Everyone nodded. Wen Jing said, “If they don’t agree to disband the sect, then I will resign as sect leader. In short, I’m not playing with them anymore.”
He paused, then looked at everyone and said, “I mentioned Gongliang Juewen’s warning to everyone before. I had a bad feeling at the time, but the others in the Zhenyu Sect wouldn’t listen. Everyone thought maintaining the status quo was better. But one person listened—Qingxuan.” Qingxuan officially disbanded the Tianxuan Sect. He had taken Wen Jing’s words to heart. He said, “Why do we always want to hold onto power? It’s nothing more than for cultivation resources or techniques. But now the sect has given us everything, so what do we need power for? Power will only interfere with our cultivation time.” So he disbanded the Tianxuan Sect. I think he’s right. What do we need power for now? Power is useless to us, so we don’t need it at all. If I don’t even need power, then what’s the point of me being the sect leader of the Zhenyu Sect? Not only will it bring me no benefit, but it will also leave the sect with the impression of being disobedient, which will be even more detrimental to our future development.”
Hearing Wen Jing’s words, the Wen family members all nodded. They had gained a very good understanding of the sect these past few days, and it was precisely because they understood the sect so well that they understood Wen Jing’s words. Continuing to be the sect leader of the Zhenyu Sect would indeed bring them no benefit.
Just then, almost simultaneously, they all received a notification from the sect. They immediately took out their communication arrays and glanced at the notification. Upon seeing it, they were all stunned. The notification was very simple: it stated that the sect had officially established the Tianxuan Branch Hall, with Qingxuan as its leader. Furthermore, the original disciples of the Tianxuan Sect would be dispersed to various halls within the sect, and disciples would be transferred from other halls to strengthen the Tianxuan Branch Hall. The notification also stated that this was standard sect practice.
After reading the notification, Wen Jing turned to look at the others and asked, “What are your thoughts?”
Everyone was taken aback, then exchanged glances. Wen Cheng then said, “The sect is rewarding Sect Leader Qingxuan for disbanding the Tianxuan Sect. At the same time, the sect has informed all sects and families how they handle those who join the sect, according to its established practice.”
Everyone nodded. Wen Jing said, “That’s right, that’s what I think too. The sect is telling us that doing what the Tianxuan Sect does is what the sect wants to see. If we disband the Zhenyu Sect now, we might not receive any rewards from the sect, since we’re not the first to disband. But we won’t be punished either. However, if we don’t want to do it this way in the future, then we might be punished.”
Everyone nodded. An elder of the Wen family said, “Patriarch, we support you. It’s true. The Zhenyu Sect really has no reason to exist. If those people disagree, Patriarch, you should just resign from your position as sect leader. We can’t offend the sect for the position of sect leader of a sect that no longer exists; that won’t do us any good.”
Wen Jing nodded, then said, “Resigning from the position of sect leader of the Zhenyu Sect might be beneficial to our family’s disciples …” “There will be benefits, which is why I’m resigning from this position as sect leader.”
Everyone nodded. Wen Cheng said, “We should indeed adapt to our current status. After all, we’re no longer in the Divine Kingdom; we’re in the Blood Slaughter Sect, which is even stronger than the Divine Kingdom.”
Wen Jing said, “When Qingxuan spoke to us today, he mentioned something else. He said that the Wan Hai family head had called him before, wanting to cooperate with him, uniting all our sects and families to establish an alliance, and then using the power of this alliance to negotiate with the sects. He didn’t agree. As for whether we will agree, that’s for us to decide.”
Wen Jing paused here, then continued, “I think those families are crazy. With our current strength, how can we negotiate with the sects? Before we joined a sect, we could negotiate with the sect members…” “They want to negotiate terms, but after we join a sect, we still need to form an alliance and negotiate with the sect? Wouldn’t that be insane? What do you call that? On the contrary, that’s treason! What makes them think they can negotiate with a sect? Even at its strongest, the Divine Kingdom couldn’t be a match for a sect, let alone now. Now, most of the power in the original Divine Kingdom has joined sects. The royal family is a sect member, the military is a sect member, most of the rogue cultivators are also sect members, some small sects have long been sect members, the Heavenly Profound Sect is already a sect member, and countless disciples below it are also sect members. Under these circumstances, they actually want to negotiate with a sect? Do they think they still have the right to negotiate with a sect?”
The Wen family members all nodded, and then Wen Jing said, “Previously…” When Qingxuan spoke to us, he said we needed to be mindful of our status, and I think he’s right. We really do need to be mindful of our status now that we’re members of a sect, so we shouldn’t be half-hearted; that won’t benefit anyone.”
The Wen family members nodded again. Just then, Wen Jing’s Heavenly Sphere showed that a phone call had come in. The caller was the sect leader of another major sect. Wen Jing glanced at it and turned to Wen Cheng and the others, saying, “Someone called me. It seems to be about Qingxuan’s appointment. It might be a conference call. You should all go back now.”
The Wen family members all responded, then stood up, bowed to Wen Jing, and left the study. After they left, Wen Jing answered the phone. As soon as the call connected, he found that it was indeed a conference call. Except for the Heavenly Profound Sect, all the sect leaders from other sects were present.
As everyone was talking, Wen Jing arrived, but no one noticed. He remained silent, wanting to hear their conversation. He discovered they were all discussing Qing Xuan’s appointment. Some said Qing Xuan had betrayed the Tianxuan Sect for personal gain; others said it was a signal from the sect, telling everyone what to do; still others said the sect intended to dismantle the Tianxuan Sect. The argument raged on.
“Stop arguing,” Tie Huanshan suddenly spoke up. “You’ve all seen the sect’s appointment. Qing Xuan is now the head of the Tianxuan branch. Arguing won’t change anything. The most important thing now is what we should do next. What are your thoughts?”
The group exchanged glances, remaining silent for a long time. Then, a sect leader spoke up: “Isn’t it obvious? The sect’s intention is very clear: all sects should disband like the Tianxuan Sect, and then all disciples should be scattered and distributed among the branch halls. It’s as clear as it gets. There’s nothing more to say; just do as instructed.” (End of Chapter)
