Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16494
Chapter 16492 The Contract
Everyone was overjoyed. To be honest, while they all appeared very enthusiastic about negotiating with the sect, they were actually quite uncertain. After all, they had only recently joined the sect, and if the sect turned against them, they would be helpless.
However, the situation was completely different if they joined the Blood Slaughter Sect’s elders. In their eyes, those disciples were all Blood Slaughter Sect elders, and the sect would definitely not easily deal with them. With them joining forces with those elders, their chances of success would be much greater. Wan
Hai looked at everyone’s expressions and then said, “In order for them to better act with us, we must form an alliance. Therefore, we must include them when signing the contract. Does anyone have any objections?” Everyone shook their heads
, indicating that they had no objections. What objections could they have? This was a good thing. Once the contract was signed, those people from the sect could not betray them, and they would have to act together. This way, everyone would have nothing to worry about, so it was indeed a good thing.
Looking at everyone’s expressions, Wan Hai continued, “If everyone agrees, then we can sign the contract. By the way, have you contacted any of the smaller families these past few days? Are there any willing to join us?” Upon
hearing this, one family head immediately spoke up, “I’ve contacted several smaller families. Some are willing to join us, and some aren’t. Of the smaller families I’ve contacted, four are willing to join us.”
Several other family heads also reported the number of families willing to join them, unexpectedly adding over a hundred more smaller families.
Wan Hai said in a deep voice, “If so many people gather here, it will definitely attract the attention of the sect. I think we should find a mountain, and everyone should gather there to sign the contract. After the contract is signed, we can discuss how to negotiate with the sect.”
Everyone agreed. Wan Hai continued, “You go and contact the other families. I’ll contact the Lü family. As for the meeting place, let’s choose Green Bamboo Ridge.” Everyone
nodded without objection. Wan Hai continued, “Does everyone know Green Bamboo Ridge? If everyone does, then please inform them. We’ll meet at Green Bamboo Ridge in one hour. This contract must be signed as soon as possible.” “Alright, let’s move on to the next step. We need to find time to talk to the sect. This matter needs to be done as soon as possible, since Elder Wen already knows about it. If we don’t act quickly, I’m worried the sect might take some action.”
Everyone responded again. Wan Hai continued, “Okay, now everyone contact the others. I’ll send you the coordinates of Green Bamboo Ridge. You forward them to the others and tell them we’ll sign the contract in an hour. If anyone doesn’t sign the contract, we won’t be taking them on this mission.”
Everyone responded. Wan Hai continued, “Okay, let’s move out.” After saying that, he directly contacted Liu E, told him about signing the contract, and sent him the coordinates of Green Bamboo Ridge.
Green Bamboo Ridge is a small, low hill named for the green bamboo that grows on it. However, since the bamboo is just ordinary bamboo with no particular use, no one bothers to disturb it. There are countless hills like this on the Blood Slaughter Sect’s territory, so nobody cares. It’s even normal for countless places to have the same name.
After Wan Hai and his group finished their arrangements, they went to Green Bamboo Ridge and casually cleared a space on the hill.
Then, more people arrived one after another. Soon, Liu E arrived with more than three hundred people. They all came together, and everyone appeared at Green Bamboo Ridge.
Wan Hai immediately went to greet them, and Liu E also came forward with his men. From a distance, Wan Hai bowed to Liu E and said, “Elder Liu, welcome everyone.”
Liu E also bowed to Wan Hai, and then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the others, who all returned the salute. Then Liu E spoke, “We are now allies, and from now on, we will act together, so there’s no need for you to be so polite.”
Upon hearing Liu E’s words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had genuinely worried that Liu E would look down on them, after all, he was a senior member of the sect, while they had only recently joined. Now, hearing his explanation, they felt reassured.
Wan Hai also laughed heartily, “Good, Elder Liu is so straightforward, then I won’t stand on ceremony either. Everyone, we’ve gathered here today for only one purpose: to unite and present our demands to the sect. With more people, there will be more power. Only by uniting will the sect heed our voices. To ensure that we can all completely trust each other, we need to sign a contract. This contract will be signed in the Heavenly Dao Golden Book, and will be witnessed by the Heavenly Dao itself. Only then can we feel at ease.”
Everyone nodded in agreement; they already knew what they were there for, so… Of course, no one objected. Wan Hai continued, “If everyone agrees, let’s sign the contract first. After it’s signed, we can discuss the next steps.”
Everyone responded again. Then, Wan Hai moved his hand and took out the Heavenly Dao Golden Book. The Heavenly Dao Golden Book didn’t look very big, no bigger than an A4 sheet of paper. Logically, it shouldn’t be able to hold so many names. But don’t forget, the Heavenly Dao Golden Book is a magical artifact, so this small book could actually hold a lot of information.
Wan Hai thought for a moment, and the Heavenly Dao Golden Book flew up. At the same time, a line of text appeared on the book, containing the contents of the contract and the names of the people. Wan Hai continued, “This is the contents of the contract. We’ve already signed it. If everyone has no objections, then just sign it as well.”
Everyone carefully looked at the contents of the contract and found nothing wrong. It was just an alliance, stipulating that no one could betray each other, very simple. Since Wan Hai and the others’ names were on it, they felt relieved.
Then, Wan Hai flicked his hand, and the golden book flew back to him. He immediately took the book to Liu E and the others. Liu E didn’t say anything, but simply pricked his finger and wrote his name on the book. Strangely, after the name was written, it disappeared.
However, Liu E didn’t mind; that’s how it works when writing names on a golden book. Then everyone wrote their names on the book until the last person. After the last person wrote their name, Wan Hai once again summoned the golden book, and it flew up, displaying everyone’s names again, including Liu E’s.
Everyone was relieved. Wan Hai put away the golden book and glanced at everyone, saying, “Alright, everyone has written their names in the golden book. Now we can move on to the next step: negotiating with the sect. The reason I’m in such a hurry is because Elder Wen already knows about this matter, and he even gave me a warning, wanting to transfer members of our Wan family elsewhere. I didn’t agree, so we must act quickly, otherwise, I’m worried the sect might take other actions.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly. Liu E said, “We still need to unify our demands first, list them out, and then negotiate with the sect. What do you all think?”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Liu E continued… “Actually, our demands are quite simple, nothing more than two things: First, ensure the integrity of our families. Our family disciples should not be scattered anymore, nor should they be transferred to other branches of the sect. Ensuring the integrity of our families is extremely important, because once the disciples of each family or sect are transferred to other branches, those disciples will probably no longer listen to us, and their hearts will be scattered. What do you all think?”
Everyone nodded, and Yingdi said, “Yes, we must ensure the integrity of our families and sects. Otherwise, once those disciples leave their families or sects, their hearts will be scattered, and we will be unable to manage them at all. Therefore, ensuring the integrity of families and sects is extremely important.”
Everyone else echoed, and Wan Hai said, “Alright, then the first point is to ensure the integrity of each family and sect. Elder Liu, let’s talk about the second point.” Liu
E nodded and continued, “The second point is that we must give our families and sects some preferential treatment. Our families and sects are stronger, and we should rightfully receive preferential treatment. However, the sects have always treated us like ordinary disciples, which is obviously unacceptable, so this must be changed.”
Everyone responded. Liu E looked at everyone and said, “But this preferential treatment also has its nuances. How much preferential treatment should be given, and to what extent, we must discuss it carefully. After all, everyone has different ideas. But I have a suggestion to share with everyone first, and we’ll see if everyone agrees.” “It’s acceptable, but we can’t ask for too much preferential treatment. If we ask for too much, the sect will absolutely not agree. I think we should just go to Elder Wen about this, and not alarm the sect leader. If we ask for too much, it might alarm the sect leader, and once that happens, things will get really bad. We’ll all be in trouble. The sect leader won’t let us off the hook. So we must think carefully about the conditions for this preferential treatment, making sure Elder Wen can agree to them. If it’s too outrageous, and Elder Wen feels he can’t make the decision, and reports this to the sect leader, then our plan will fall through, and the sect leader won’t let us off the hook. What do you all think?” After he finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, wanting to see what their opinions were. (End of this chapter)
