Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16490
Chapter 16488 (Agreement)
“Sect Leader Yingdi, Wan Hai greets you.” Wan Hai’s projection bowed to Yingdi.
Yingdi returned the bow, saying, “Patriarch Wan, you’re too kind. I wonder what brings you here?” Yingdi had no connection with Wan Hai, and he knew that Wan Hai and his group wanted to form an alliance. He didn’t want to get involved or have anything to do with Wan Hai. In his view, Wan Hai and his group were courting death, so he didn’t want to be associated with them.
Wan Hai looked at Ying Di and then said, “Sect Master Ying Di, I won’t stand on ceremony with you anymore. Your Heavenly Eagle Sect hasn’t disbanded yet, is it because you don’t want to? If you don’t want to disband, then why not form an alliance with us? Our alliance already has over ninety families participating. This alliance isn’t about rebellion or anything like that; we just want some preferential treatment. You know, we all joined the Blood Slaughter Sect later. Under these circumstances, it’s extremely difficult for us to achieve the same status as the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples. So, it’s not a big deal for us to unite and ask for some preferential treatment. After all, we joined the sect voluntarily, and the sect should give us some preferential treatment. Besides, we are the Undead race; we won’t rebel. We just need some…” “Wait, the sect won’t do anything to us, don’t you think?”
Upon hearing Wan Hai’s words, Ying Di’s heart stirred. Although he didn’t want to get involved in Wan Hai’s affairs, what Wan Hai said seemed to make some sense. They had voluntarily joined the sect and were now members of the undead race, so the sect shouldn’t be angry if they asked for some preferential treatment. Most importantly, their demands weren’t unreasonable, and the sect might actually agree. Moreover, so many families were involved in this matter. Ying Di knew that the families Wan Hai mentioned couldn’t be small families; they must be large families. So many large families united would be a considerable force. Even if the sect wanted to deal with them, they would have to think carefully. So, it seemed that their alliance with these families might actually succeed.
Now, the elders of the Flying Eagle Sect didn’t agree to disband the sect or his resignation, so he could only continue as the sect leader of the Flying Eagle Sect. Therefore, their alliance with those families seemed to be the best option.
Seeing Yingdi’s expression, Wan Hai knew he was interested. He continued, “As for whether the people in our alliance are sincere, you don’t need to worry about that at all. Coincidentally, I have a Heavenly Dao Golden Book. We’ve already written a contract on it. If you’re willing to join our alliance, you can also write a contract on this Heavenly Dao Golden Book.”
Yingdi was even more tempted. He knew what the Heavenly Dao Golden Book was, of course, and a vow made with it was certainly credible. However, Yingdi was also very clear that he couldn’t agree immediately; he needed to discuss it thoroughly with the people in his sect.
Thinking of this, Yingdi looked at Wan Hai and said, “Patriarch Wan, this matter is too important. I must discuss it carefully with the people in my sect before giving you an answer.”
Wan Hai smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll wait for your news.” Then he hung up the phone.
After Wan Hai hung up the phone, Ying Di immediately ordered, “Someone, go and invite the elders and hall masters of the sect.” A servant immediately responded and left.
The reason Ying Di couldn’t resign as sect master was due to his family’s influence. His family wasn’t a prominent family within the Sky Eagle Sect; on the contrary, it was a small one. Therefore, his position as sect master was relatively weak. The heads of the major families within the Sky Eagle Sect didn’t agree to his resignation, so he couldn’t resign because he feared they would suppress his family. If they did suppress his family, it would be a real problem. So, for the sake of his family, he had no choice but to remain sect master.
Soon, all the elders and hall masters of the Sky Eagle Sect arrived. These were also heads of some of the major families within the Sky Eagle Sect, and their backing was extremely powerful. Therefore, they didn’t take Ying Di too seriously.
After these people arrived at Yingdi’s study, they bowed to him, but the bow was rather perfunctory. Yingdi didn’t blame them; instead, he politely invited them to sit down.
Once they were all seated, Yingdi spoke directly: “I’ve invited you all here today to discuss something—the matter of forming an alliance with those families. You all know the situation with the family alliance; they haven’t disbanded. In fact, they’re even more united now. They’re preparing to form an alliance to negotiate with the sects. This time, Wan Hai called me; he wants to invite us to join this alliance. What are your thoughts on this?”
Upon hearing Yingdi’s words, the elders and hall masters were all taken aback, then their eyes lit up. One elder asked, “How many people are left in the family alliance?”
Yingdi replied, “Patriarch Wan Hai said they still have over ninety families… ” “Our clan is in this alliance, and they’ve even signed a contract using the Heavenly Dao Golden Book; absolutely no one will betray them.”
The elders’ eyes lit up even more. One elder said, “That’s indeed a solution, but there’s a problem. What if they go too far? The sect might deal with them directly.”
Yingdi said, “Patriarch Wan said they just want to negotiate with the sect, to get some benefits for us. After all, we’re newcomers, and we surrendered voluntarily. If the sect gives us some preferential treatment, no one can complain.”
Hearing this, the elders’ eyes shone even brighter. One elder said, “Good, excellent! If that’s really the case, then we can join their alliance.”
The other elders all nodded, then turned to look at Yingdi. Yingdi, observing their expressions, continued, “Although Wan Hai said they wouldn’t go too far, this matter is still risky. If handled poorly, it could leave a bad impression on the sect, which would greatly affect our future development.” “
Nothing is without risk. If we truly benefit, then taking a little risk is worthwhile. Besides, as long as our strength is sufficient, the sect will have to use us, so there’s no need to worry about the sect turning against us,” one elder said, and the others all nodded in agreement.
Yingdi looked at them and then said, “If you all agree, then it’s settled. I’ll reply to Wan Hai in a bit and finalize this matter. However, I still have my opinion; I still believe that disbanding the sect is the best option.”
An elder snorted and said, “If we really disband the sect, what will we have left? Rather than that, we might as well take a gamble.” The others all nodded in agreement. That was exactly what they thought, which was why they didn’t want to disband the sect. However, they also knew that their individual families couldn’t possibly stand against the sect. But if they really joined forces with the family alliance, things would seem much easier.
Seeing their expressions, Yingdi didn’t try to persuade them any further. He had already given all the advice he could, so there was nothing more to say. Yingdi said, “It’s good that everyone has made their decision. I’ll write to Wan Hai now and tell them that we want to join them, and we must have our names recorded in the Heavenly Path Golden Book. Only then will they consider us one of their own.”
The elders and hall masters all nodded. Then Yingdi immediately called Wan Hai, but to their surprise, Wan Hai didn’t answer for a long time, which made their expressions turn grim.
Yingdi could only hang up first and then call again, but still no one answered. Just as Yingdi was about to call for the third time, a call suddenly came in. Yingdi looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Wan Hai calling.
Yingdi immediately answered the phone. As soon as the call connected, Wan Hai’s projection appeared in Yingdi’s study. Wan Hai’s projection bowed to Yingdi and said, “Sect Master Ying, have you reached a conclusion?” Yingdi looked at
Wan Hai and said, “After our discussion, we agree to join your alliance. However, there’s one point we must clarify: we must have our names recorded in the Heavenly Dao Golden Book.”
Wan Hai laughed heartily, “Of course! Even if you hadn’t said it, I would have made sure you recorded your names in the Heavenly Dao Golden Book. Otherwise, we wouldn’t feel at ease. The reason I didn’t answer your call earlier was because I was talking to people from other sects. That’s why I couldn’t answer your call. But I believe that more and more people will be willing to join us.”
Upon hearing Wan Hai’s words, Yingdi was also pleased . He let out a sigh of relief and then asked, “When can we register our names in the Golden Register?”
Wan Hai immediately replied, “We are currently contacting other sects. Once they respond, we will register. If other sects agree to join us, we will register together. If they don’t want to join us, we will register even more.”
Ying Di breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said, “Okay, I’ll wait for your news.”
Wan Hai nodded and said, “Don’t worry, we will get back to you as soon as possible.”
Ying Di nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll wait for your news, hopefully soon.” Wan Hai nodded, then bowed to Ying Di and hung up the phone.
After watching Wan Hai’s projection disappear, Ying Di turned to look at the elders and hall masters of the Sky Eagle Sect. Their expressions had relaxed considerably; clearly, they had found Wan Hai’s words helpful.
Yingdi looked at the elders and hall masters, then said, “Now we just need to wait for news. But I believe they will have news soon. We just need to wait. After all, they would never be willing to let go of such a large force as us. If there is no news for a long time, they will worry that we will side with the sect. So they must give us news as soon as possible.” (End of this chapter)
