Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16486

Chapter 16484: Decision

“Are you really going to disband your sect like this?” another sect member asked, his words silencing many. They were naturally unwilling, but what could they do?

Wen Jing glanced at everyone and continued, “We are discussing disbanding the sect. I do want to disband it, and we’re still discussing it. However, there’s one thing I need to make clear: if everyone opposes disbanding the sect this time, then I’m prepared to resign as the sect leader of the Zhenyu Sect.” Wen Jing

felt there was nothing to hide; he was going to do it anyway, and there was no need to conceal it—it wasn’t anything shameful.

The other sect members were stunned by Wen Jing’s words. Whether they wanted him to disband his sect or not, none of them had ever been as resolute as Wen Jing before. This was truly unexpected.

Wen Jing glanced at everyone and then said, “I’m just stating my decision. What you do is up to you. The reason I’m telling you all this is to let you know that I’ve made this decision, so I won’t offer any further opinions at this meeting.”

Everyone was stunned by his words, and then they all fell silent. Zhenyu Sect was no small sect; they were a top-tier sect. For Wen Jing, as the sect leader, to be so resolute was indeed beyond their expectations. Did he really have to disband the sect?

Tie Huanshan looked at Wen Jing and asked, “Are you really sure? Why?”

Wen Jing replied in a deep voice, “I’ve decided. There’s no reason why. Actually, the truth is quite simple. I feel there’s no need to keep the Zhenyu Sect any longer. If the people in our sect don’t agree to disband it, then there will be a huge difference in opinion between us. If I were to manage the Zhenyu Sect then, I wouldn’t be able to manage it well. Rather than that, it’s better to resign from this position as sect leader and let someone else take over.”

Tie Huanshan looked at Wen Jing and asked, “You really don’t care at all?”

Wen Jing smiled and said, “What’s there to care about? Just like…” “As Qian Qingxuan said, ‘Find your place.’ Now we are all members of the Blood Slaughter Sect. Do you think it’s appropriate to create another sect within our own sect? If it’s not appropriate, then why should we create one? Why do we do it just to oppose the sect? What benefit would that bring us? Of course, this is just my own opinion; I don’t care what you decide.”

Tie Huanshan stopped speaking, and the other sect leaders also fell silent. They were all thinking about Wen Jing’s words. They all agreed that Wen Jing was right, but many still felt extremely unwilling to abandon their sects.

After a long pause, Tie Huanshan finally spoke, “Everyone, I think we should go back and discuss this matter with our own sects before making a decision. However, I have a request for you all: no matter which sect it is, if you really decide to disband your sect, you must inform everyone else. I will do the same. If I really want to disband the Ironclad Sect, I will also inform everyone. How about that?”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Seeing that everyone agreed, Tie Huanshan said, “Alright, then it’s decided. Everyone, I’ll log off now.” After saying that, he logged off immediately. Wen Jing also logged off, and the sect leaders of the other sects all logged off as well.

As soon as Wen Jing logged off, he heard a knock on the door. He immediately said, “Come in.”

A member of the Wen family entered and bowed to Wen Jing, saying, “Patriarch, several elders and hall masters from the sect request an audience.”

Wen Jing said, “Please invite them in.” The Wen family member acknowledged and went to fetch them. Soon, the elders and hall masters of the Zhenyu Sect arrived at Wen Jing’s study.

After they sat down, one of the elders spoke directly, “Sect Master, you know that Qingxuan has become the hall master of the Tianxuan branch. I wonder what the other sects’ reactions are to this?”

Wen Jing said in a deep voice, “We just had a conference call. Everyone’s reaction was quite ordinary, nothing special. Although they were discussing this matter, no conclusion was reached. They all said they would go back and discuss it with their sects. What are your thoughts now?” He then looked at the elders and hall masters.

The group exchanged glances, and then one of the elders spoke up: “Sect Master, we’ve made our decision. We will disband the sect.” He let out a long breath and continued in a deep voice, “Sect Master, you’re right. We are, after all, cultivators. Our desire for power and our saying this before was largely driven by selfish motives—for cultivation resources. But now the sect has everything we need, and we truly have no need to cling to power anymore. Moreover, as you said, if we continue to hold onto power, we might end up becoming enemies with the disciples. I don’t want to become enemies with them, so disbanding the sect is the best option.”

Everyone else nodded in agreement. Seeing their expressions, Wen Jing smiled slightly and said, “Good, I’m relieved that everyone has made this choice. If you all truly decided not to disband the sect, then I was prepared to resign as sect leader. Now that you all agree to disband the sect, that’s certainly the best outcome.”

Hearing Wen Jing’s words, they were all taken aback. Then, an elder spoke up, “Sect Leader, you’re going to resign as sect leader?”

Wen Jing smiled and said, “If you hadn’t agreed to disband the sect this time, I was prepared to resign as sect leader. After all, I agreed to disband the sect. If you disagreed, then we had a difference in principles, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to continue as sect leader. So, if you didn’t agree to disband the sect, I would resign as sect leader. Now that you’ve agreed to disband the sect, the sect no longer exists. What does it matter whether the sect leader position is disbanded or not?”

The others all nodded. Wen Jing looked at them and said, “If everyone agrees, then we will…” “The sect’s disciples went to seal a letter and tell the sect’s disciples about this matter. My idea is that we should also learn from the Tianxuan Sect and hold a conference call so that we can announce this matter to the sect’s disciples together. What do you all think?”

Several people nodded in agreement. Wen Jing looked at them and then said, “Then why don’t we do it tonight? We’ll tell all the sect’s disciples about this matter.”

Everyone responded. Wen Jing glanced at them and then smiled slightly, “Then everyone, don’t leave. Let’s wait here until tonight. We can also get together. After all, this is a rare opportunity for us. Although we won’t be too far apart in the future, we won’t be able to get together as often.”

An elder laughed and said, “I don’t think so. We’ll actually get together more often in the future. After all, we won’t have much to do anymore. We’ll all be ordinary elders in the sect. Won’t we have more time to get together then?” Everyone else laughed heartily.

Wen Jing smiled and said, “Alright, then I welcome everyone to come and get together here often in the future.” After saying that, Wen Jing called out to the door, “Someone come here.”

A member of the Wen family immediately walked in, bowed to Wen Jing and said, “Patriarch.”

Wen Jing said, “Pass down the word, prepare a banquet, I want to treat everyone to drinks today.” The Wen family member responded and then immediately went to prepare.

Wen Jing turned to look at the others and continued, “This time, we might not receive any rewards from the sect for disbanding, but I think it’s necessary. We won’t be punished, which is better than persisting in the sect’s existence only to be punished in the end.”

Everyone nodded. One of the hall masters spoke up, “Those families actually want to form an alliance to negotiate with the sect. Sect Master, do you think the sect will agree?”

Wen Jing waved his hand and said, “Don’t call me Sect Master anymore, just call me Wen Jing. Agree? If you were a member of the sect, would you agree? How many people are there in the sect now? Including those from our Divine Kingdom, the sect’s population has probably reached five hundred billion. Five hundred billion! That’s an enormous number. Without the Heavenly Sphere, managing such a large sect would be almost impossible. The Heavenly Sphere allows the sect to manage so many people simultaneously. But these people come from all races and factions. Some were recruited by the sect before, while others joined recently. You haven’t…” Have you noticed? Our sect has previously subdued people from other domains in the Divine Realm. While those domains didn’t have as many people as our Divine Kingdom, they were still considerable. If the sect really agrees to negotiate with those families, won’t the people from other domains also unite and try to negotiate with the sect? If everyone tries to negotiate, what will the sect do next? Will it agree to everything? If it does, will the sect still be able to manage things? Wouldn’t that effectively cause a split within the sect? If you were Elder Wen or the others, would you agree? Leaving aside Elder Wen and the others, even if it were the young master… “Would you agree to the sect becoming like that? If I were the young master, I would absolutely not agree.”

Upon hearing Wen Jing’s words, the others all nodded solemnly. They hadn’t really considered this issue before. This wasn’t their fault; they hadn’t been sect leaders themselves, so they didn’t understand how a sect leader thought. Wen Jing, however, was a sect leader; he understood the thinking of a sect’s administrator. Therefore, he pinpointed the biggest problem for those families: they had misjudged the Blood Slaughter Sect’s situation.

As Wen Jing said, the Blood Slaughter Sect had too many members, too many people from various races, and too many other forces—it was simply too much. If this precedent were set, wouldn’t everyone be able to negotiate with them? Then the sect would truly be unmanageable. Therefore, the Blood Slaughter Sect would absolutely not agree to negotiate with those families. If they did, the Blood Slaughter Sect would truly split apart. (End of Chapter)
