Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16502

Chapter 16500: Unifying Thought

Once a sect grows large, it will encounter all sorts of problems. Even if all the members of the sect are undead, it won’t help. The Blood Slaughter Sect can be said to be entirely composed of undead. They are all loyal to Zhao Hai, but there is a loophole: their loyalty to Zhao Hai means that as long as they don’t betray him, they won’t be punished. The punishment here refers to the punishment of the restrictions. Just like Liu E, Liu E was loyal to Zhao Hai and never thought of betraying him. However, he had his own ideas and wanted to seek some benefits for his family. That’s why he dared to think of uniting everyone to negotiate with Wen Wenhai. Because he genuinely didn’t intend to betray Zhao Hai, he didn’t trigger the punishment mechanism of the restrictions. So, nothing happened to him. In the end, he could only be arrested and killed.

The Blood Slaughter Sect currently has no factions or political strife, primarily because its true leadership has never changed. It has always been run by Wen Wenhai and his group, all close friends and fiercely loyal to Zhao Hai. They haven’t sought power for their families, as power is meaningless to them. This is why there’s no political infighting within the Blood Slaughter Sect. In fact, in most sects, loyalty and factionalism aren’t contradictory; people can be loyal while simultaneously forming their own cliques for personal gain.

While factions do exist within the Blood Slaughter Sect, they are less pronounced. The largest faction is Wen Wenhai’s group, comprised of high-ranking members, elders, and senior disciples. They are utterly loyal to Zhao Hai and would never do anything detrimental to him or the sect. These individuals are considered the orthodox faction by others.

Besides them, those captured from various regions also formed their own small factions. However, because they were all scattered, these small factions couldn’t form a cohesive force. In fact, this was the reason why the Blood Slaughter Sect wanted to distribute them in such a chaotic manner—to prevent them from forming their own power, otherwise, trouble might really ensue. The reason

Zhao Hai dealt with Liu E with such swift and decisive action this time was because he clearly understood that he had to draw a red line for those factions. They could form groups if they wanted, as long as they abided by the sect’s rules. The sect’s supplies for each person were adjusted according to their individual circumstances. Even if they formed groups, it wouldn’t be of any use. The sect had plenty of supplies; they could get whatever they wanted without any need to fight over them. So, their grouping up, apart from providing some psychological comfort, was actually useless.

However, if you form a group and expect the sect to grant you special privileges because you believe that your strength as a group entitles you to such privileges, Zhao Hai will not agree. You must be executed; otherwise, the entire sect will be filled with such groups.

This is the red line Zhao Hai has drawn for those people: forming groups is acceptable, but demanding special privileges is not. The Blood Slaughter Sect must guarantee fairness. While complete fairness is impossible, relative fairness is essential.

Judging from the current situation, the effect is quite good. Previously, there were some small groups within the Blood Slaughter Sect. They weren’t as arrogant as Liu E, demanding special privileges, but they were also watching Liu E and his group closely. Because Liu E and his group were too arrogant, they wanted to see how he would end up. If Liu E and his group remained unscathed and eventually received special privileges, then these small groups would take action and demand special privileges themselves. This is precisely why Zhao Hai will not grant them special privileges.

This time, Zhao Hai dealt with Liu E and his group with unprecedented swiftness and decisiveness, causing the remaining small groups to become completely subdued. Most of them even disbanded, no longer daring to risk gathering together for fear of being wiped out by Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai’s goal was to eliminate any ulterior motives within his sect, as he was indeed preparing for ascension. They had stayed in the Divine Realm long enough; it was time to ascend.

However, he needed to prepare thoroughly beforehand, otherwise, things would be extremely troublesome in the Upper Realm. In fact, Wen Wenhai was wrong. Zhao Hai still had a feeling that the Blood Slaughter Sect members would be useful to him, extremely useful, contrary to Wen Wenhai’s claim that they were useless and that he had been dragging them along. While that was indeed the case, this time the situation was different. He felt that once he ascended to the Upper Realm, the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples would be of great use to him.

It was precisely because of this feeling that Zhao Hai wanted to resolve all the internal problems of the Blood Slaughter Sect before ascending. Destabilizing factors like Liu E needed to be eliminated directly. Only in this way could he ascend with peace of mind, ensuring there would be no problems after reaching the Upper Realm.

Now, Liu E, this destabilizing factor, has been eliminated, as have the newly added destabilizing factors like Wan Hai. But this wasn’t enough. The Blood Slaughter Sect had absorbed far too many people this time. Not only from the Divine Kingdom, but they had also subdued so many smaller domains, absorbing a significant number of people from those smaller domains as well. It could be said that the number of people in the Blood Slaughter Sect had reached an astonishing figure, approaching the trillion mark. What does that mean? A trillion! It’s a number that many people wouldn’t even dare to dream of.

Let alone trillions, even tens of billions would be an unimaginable number. The Blood Slaughter Sect currently has trillions. If it weren’t for the Heavenly Sphere, the teleportation array, the Real Illusion, and their runes’ ability to materialize things, the Blood Slaughter Sect would have long since fallen into chaos. The daily resource needs of trillions of people are simply unimaginable. Ordinary sects simply couldn’t support so many people; the resources alone would be beyond their means.

Most importantly, at least half of these trillions are newcomers to the Blood Slaughter Sect. Gaining their complete acceptance will take time, but the Blood Slaughter Sect must do so. They must assimilate these newcomers, ensuring their complete acceptance and eliminating any ulterior motives. Only then can they play a vital role after ascension.

This is precisely why Zhao Hai isn’t in a hurry to ascend. He could already ascend, but he’s not rushing it. He also doesn’t dare conquer other minor domains anymore, because he senses that if he does, he’ll likely have to ascend as well. He believes that if he doesn’t want to ascend immediately, he shouldn’t touch other minor domains—this is his feeling, and Zhao Hai trusts it implicitly. He believes this is an insight from this realm. Therefore, Zhao Hai isn’t ascending or conquering other minor domains, but

instead plans to use this time to thoroughly assimilate the new members of the Blood Slaughter Sect, making them genuinely accept the sect. So, after dealing with Liu E and the others for a short time, Zhao Hai went directly to Wen Wenhai’s study, summoning Ding Chunming and the others as well. Gongliang Juewen was also present, as he is now Wen Wenhai’s disciple and assistant.

The group sat around the reception area of Wen Wenhai’s office, each holding a cup of tea. After they finished their tea, Zhao Hai spoke, “I called you all here today to talk about the sect. I’m preparing to ascend. Of course, not immediately, but I have this plan. But before I ascend, there’s one thing we must do.”

Zhao Hai paused, glancing at everyone. They all looked at him, eager to hear what this necessary task was.

Zhao Hai looked at them and said, “It’s about assimilating the newly joined disciples. This matter is extremely important. The reason Liu E’s incident happened this time is clearly because our ideological education of the disciples is still lacking. If we had paid more attention to the ideological education of those disciples from the very beginning, this wouldn’t have happened. Now that I’m preparing for ascension, this kind of ideological education must be given even more importance. After we ascend, the enemies we will face will be much stronger, stronger than ever before. If we can’t assimilate all the disciples, then things will only get more troublesome after we ascend.”

Wen Wenhai and the others nodded upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, saying, “Yes, Young Master, we understand.”

Zhao Hai nodded and then said, “I have a feeling now that we can’t deal with the other minor domains anymore. If we deal with the other minor domains again, and then try to subdue them…” “If we recruit people from other regions into our sect, we’ll have to ascend. Therefore, we can’t afford to fight others anymore. As long as we can assimilate these disciples, that will be a victory for us. I’m entrusting this matter to you all. Do it well. I don’t want any more factions or groups to emerge within the sect. We need to unify everyone’s thinking, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble.”

Everyone responded again. Zhao Hai nodded and then said, “This is the main matter this time. You handle it. Remember, unifying everyone’s thinking is the most important thing, especially given the current situation in the sect. Nearly half of the disciples are new members, so we need to spend a lot of time educating them, unifying their thinking, and making them genuinely accept the sect and be proud of it.”

Everyone responded again, and Zhao Hai nodded in satisfaction before leaving. (End of Chapter)
