Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16493

Chapter 16491 Cooperation

Wan Hai sat in his study, frowning. He was still pondering Wen Wenhai’s words. He understood that Wen Wenhai had been subtly warning him, almost explicitly telling him to transfer his family’s disciples away. However, he hadn’t agreed. He couldn’t agree now. He had already contacted other families, and several sects had agreed to join their alliance. He had become the leader of these alliances. If he agreed to the sects’ demands to transfer his family’s disciples to other branches, it would be tantamount to surrendering to the sects. If he did that, even without the sects lifting a finger, the families and sects allied with him would likely turn against them. They wouldn’t dare kill them, but they would certainly ostracize them. Their family’s life would definitely be miserable then. So even though he understood Wen Wenhai’s meaning, he couldn’t agree and could only stubbornly resist.

Just as Wan Hai was preparing to contact other families to discuss launching the operation ahead of schedule, a knock came at the door. Wan Hai said, “Come in.” The door opened, and a member of the Wan family entered. He bowed to Wan Hai and said, “Patriarch, someone outside requests an audience. He says his surname is Liu and he’s from the Liu family within the sect.”

Wan Hai was taken aback, then frowned and said, “The Liu family within the sect? You mean, he’s from the Liu family of the Blood Slaughter Sect?” The Wan family disciple nodded. A glint flashed in Wan Hai’s eyes, and he said, “Please let him in.” The disciple acknowledged and turned to leave, while Wan Hai immediately stood up and walked to the door of the study. He wanted to see what this member of the Liu family wanted.

A moment later, the Wan family disciple returned with a man who appeared to be in his fifties. He wasn’t very tall, but he exuded an imposing aura, his head slightly raised, giving off an arrogant feeling.

The man also saw Wan Hai and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, “Elder Wan, greetings! I am Liu E. Please forgive my intrusion.”

Wan Hai quickly returned the greeting, saying, “Elder Liu, you are too kind. It is an honor for the Wan family that Elder Liu has come. Please, Elder Liu.” He then gestured for them to enter, and the two went into Wan Hai’s study.

After they were seated, Wan Hai looked at Liu E and said, “Elder Liu, did you come to see me today because you have something to instruct me on?”

Liu E glanced at Wan Hai and then said, “Elder Wan, are you contacting other families and sect leaders, preparing to negotiate with the sects? To get some preferential treatment from them?”

Wan Hai was taken aback. He hadn’t expected the other party to be so direct and to know their plans. This made his face very ugly. He looked at Liu E and continued, “Elder Liu, is it…” “What do you mean? Did the sect send you?”

Liu E shook his head, then said, “No, I came on my own. I’m here to seek cooperation with you, Patriarch Wan. I’ve been here for ages, and you haven’t even prepared a cup of water. That’s a bit much, isn’t it?”

Upon hearing Liu E’s words, Wan Hai was taken aback, then his eyes lit up. He immediately said, “Someone, bring tea.” A Wan family disciple immediately responded, and soon brought up two cups of tea, placing them in front of Wan Hai and Liu E.

Wan Hai smiled at Liu E and said, “Elder Liu, please. I am very interested in the cooperation you mentioned. Please tell me more about it.”

Liu E nodded, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then put it down. He continued, “There’s no need to hide anything from you. It’s like this: there are actually many families within the sect, and these families are quite powerful. Although the sect has always been fair and has never mistreated anyone, this fairness is actually the greatest unfairness. Our families are so strong, yet we have to enjoy the same treatment as ordinary disciples. Is that fair? Of course not. That’s why we’ve been wanting to talk to Elder Wen. We secretly contacted…” “These people were planning to act soon, but the Divine Kingdom suddenly joined the sect, and we’ve heard about your situation. I think we can cooperate. If we unite, our strength will be even greater. Faced with such a powerful force, even Elder Wen will have to think carefully. Besides, we don’t have any excessive demands, just some preferential treatment, which is only right. The sect won’t punish us for such a thing. What do you think?”

Wan Hai was overjoyed. He had been worried that if these people caused trouble, the Blood Slaughter Sect would punish them. But if it wasn’t just them causing trouble this time, but also people within the Blood Slaughter Sect themselves, then things would be completely different, and their chances of success would be much greater.

However, Wan Hai still asked, “How many people do you have?”

Liu E said in a deep voice, “A total of 317 families, with a total number of about ten million.”

Wan Hai was even happier. So many families, so many people, plus his own family members, meant their chances of success were even greater. After all, those were over ten million elders of the sect. With so many people, the sect would have to consider their feelings.

However, Wan Hai was still somewhat puzzled. He looked at Liu E and said, “Elder Liu, you shouldn’t be considered a small family

, right? With over three hundred families, why are there only a little over ten million people?” Liu E shook his head and sighed softly, “You don’t understand the sect’s situation. The sect doesn’t want any family to become strong, so the disciples of a family are usually dispersed. Furthermore, no family is allowed to have servants. If you want someone to serve you, that’s fine; the sect has puppets. Those ordinary puppets, while not powerful in combat, are still good for serving. So, apart from some core members, no one else in our families will listen to us, even if they are from the same…” “Once family members are reassigned to other branches, they gradually break away from the family’s control. They no longer consider themselves family members, so we can only organize this many people. However, these people are all core members of their respective families, and their strength is extremely formidable. There are about 300,000 kingdom-level experts alone.”

Wan Hai was startled by Liu E’s words, but then he felt extremely fortunate. Luckily, they wanted to negotiate with the sect instead of actually transferring the family’s disciples to other branches. If that were the case, the Wan family would probably cease to exist in a short time. This time, they could add this clause to the negotiations with the sect.

Liu E looked at Wan Hai, seemingly guessing what he was thinking. He said, “You did the right thing this time. When you first joined the sect, you negotiated terms with the sect. You’d better include the condition of preserving your family in that deal. Otherwise, it won’t be long before only a few core members of your family will listen to you. The rest of your family members will no longer listen to you. We realized this, which is why we decided to unite and negotiate with the sect.”

Wan Hai nodded and then said, “Okay, I agree to this cooperation, but we need to act quickly. Elder Wen spoke with me today. His implication was that I should obey the sect’s orders and send my family’s disciples to other branches. I didn’t agree, but that only allows me to delay, and I can’t delay for long.”

Liu E said in a deep voice, “Good, then act quickly. When do you plan to make your move?”

Wan Hai asked. He said, “We’ll have to wait a few more days. I won’t hide it from you, but our alliance was signed in the Heavenly Dao Golden Book. Only in this way can none of us go back on our word or betray each other. If Elder Liu and you really agree to form an alliance with us, then you must also sign in the Heavenly Dao Golden Book. Do you agree?”

Liu E didn’t hesitate at all; on the contrary, he was very happy and immediately said, “Good, very good, that’s how it should be. We agree, of course we agree.”

Wan Hai nodded and then said, “Then how about this, Elder Liu, let’s exchange contact information. I’ll discuss it with the other sects and see when it’s appropriate to sign. I’ll let you know when we’re ready. What do you think?”

Liu E nodded and said, “Okay, then we’ll contact you then.” After saying that, Liu E and Wan Hai exchanged contact information, and then the two discussed some details before Liu E took his leave.

After Liu E left, Wan Hai immediately sent letters to the heads of the other families in their alliance, as well as to the sect leaders like Ying Di, asking them all to come to the Wan family residence. He had something to discuss with them.

Soon, the heads of the various families and the sect leaders all arrived and were invited to the Wan family’s conference room. Once everyone was there, Wan Hai looked at them and said, “I have some bad news and some good news to tell you all. I’ll start with the bad news. Elder Wen is very likely aware of our plans. He summoned me today and gave me a warning. He also wants to transfer Wan family disciples to other branch halls. I didn’t agree, but Elder Wen definitely knows about our actions. We must act as soon as possible.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces turned grim. This was indeed bad news. If Wen Wenhai really knew about their actions, it would be very troublesome.

Wan Hai glanced at everyone and continued, “Now for the good news. Liu E, the patriarch of the Liu family in the sect, just came to see me. He told me that many families within the sect are preparing to unite and negotiate with the sect. There are over three hundred families in total, amounting to nearly ten million people, including hundreds of thousands of kingdom-level experts. This is a considerable force. They also know what we’ve been doing and want to cooperate with us to negotiate with the sect.”

Upon hearing Wan Hai’s words, everyone was stunned for a moment, then their faces lit up with elation. Ying Di immediately exclaimed, “Great! This is fantastic news! If people from the sect join us, the significance of our operation will be completely different. The sect will have no choice but to seriously consider our demands!” (End of Chapter)
