Bringing the farm to another world

Qingyu and the others watched Zhao Hai warily. Although they had only attacked once, a true expert's skill is evident from the first move. Despite their single attack, they already knew Zhao Hai's strength. His power far exceeded their expectations. They were over a hundred royal-level experts! They had previously breached the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall twice, defeated the Blood Slaughter Sect's battle team, defeated the Blood Slaughter Sect's Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation, and even defeated the Blood Slaughter Sect's alien cavalry. Their strength was so formidable that they had once thought they could easily wipe out the Blood Slaughter Sect. But unfortunately, at this moment, they encountered Zhao Hai.

Although they only attacked Zhao Hai once, he single-handedly withstood the attacks of more than a hundred of them. How could they not be astonished by such strength?

Zhao Hai looked at Qingyu and the others, then smiled slightly and said, "You should have realized my strength by now. With my strength, if I wanted to deal with you, it wouldn't be difficult. I don't need the others from the Blood Slaughter Sect to help; I can handle you all by myself. Not only you, but also the sects behind you. If I wanted to take action, your sects wouldn't be a match for me either." Zhao Hai was simply stating a fact, so Qingyu and the others remained silent.

Zhao Hai glanced at them and then said, "The reason I haven't attacked you is not for any other reason than that I want to use you as a whetstone to sharpen the Blood Slaughter Sect. Right now, the Blood Slaughter Sect isn't sharp enough, so it needs to be properly sharpened. You've been using the Seven Universes Realm as your training ground, and now we'll use you as our training ground too. That's fair, isn't it?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Qingyu and the others' faces all darkened. Although they had previously used the Seven Realms as a training ground and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, now that the situation had reversed and they had become the sparring partners, they realized just how strong Qingyu and the others were.

Zhao Hai smiled slightly, then said, "Don't be upset. Fortune changes, isn't that normal? So what's there to be angry about? However, there's one thing you must know: I may not take action against you, but you must do your duty. You need to be your sparring partners and not go too far. Like today, you actually tried to massacre our Blood Slaughter Sect disciples. Who gave you the audacity? That's why I took action. Of course, I will only take action this once. What happens next is my business. Do as you please." After saying this, Zhao Hai suddenly disappeared.

Zhao Hai's sudden departure stunned Qingyu and the others. They really didn't expect Zhao Hai to leave. Just now, Zhao Hai had almost suppressed all of them. Under such circumstances, Zhao Hai actually left directly. How could they not be surprised?

However, after Zhao Hai left, Qingyu and the others realized that they were surrounded. The gap in the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall had been blocked by a new Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. Several more Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formations had appeared around them once again. Many of the Blood Slaughter Sect's teams had also surrounded them, along with a large number of large magical artifacts. They were truly surrounded.

Upon seeing this, Qingyu's expression changed. He finally believed that Zhao Hai was indeed using them as sparring partners. To be honest, this feeling made them very unhappy, but they were powerless to do anything about it because it was the truth.

Qingyu looked at the Blood Slaughter Sect members who were surrounding them, took a deep breath, and then shouted, "Retreat! We must fight our way out and report this to the sect to see what their decision is!" Everyone understood what he meant. They had to retreat and report Zhao Hai's situation to the sect, mainly about Zhao Hai's strength, and then see what the sect's decision was—whether to retreat or continue the attack while they were still here.

In Qingyu's view, retreating was not a good choice. Staying here and continuing the attack on the Blood Slaughter Sect was the most correct approach. Although Zhao Hai was powerful, he had also said that he would only make one move, which meant that he would not easily make another move. However, even without his intervention, the Blood Slaughter Sect was not weak. The Blood Slaughter Sect had not expected them to attack in this way and had been caught off guard. They probably wouldn't have such an opportunity again. If they retreated at this time, the Blood Slaughter Sect would definitely expand. If they stayed and continued the attack, as long as Zhao Hai did not make a move, they could still hold off the Blood Slaughter Sect.

As long as they can keep the Blood Slaughter Sect occupied, the Blood Slaughter Sect will be unable to expand, and they will still have a chance. However, if they allow the Blood Slaughter Sect to expand and occupy more territory in the Meteorite Domain, then they will be finished.

Qingyu's mind raced, considering all sorts of things, but he had to get out of here in order to report this matter and gain the sect's complete trust.

At this moment, the Blood Slaughter Sect launched an attack. This time, the Blood Slaughter Sect's attack was completely different from their previous attacks. Their attack was more focused and methodical. The Blood Slaughter Sect's battle teams unleashed a series of spells, directly attacking Qingyu and her group. The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formations, as well as the Blood Slaughter Sect's large magical artifacts, also launched their attacks. Both the battle team attacks and the formation attacks posed a threat to them. They had to defend themselves and dodge, as being hit would put them in danger. This meant they couldn't concentrate their forces on the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. A single person attacking the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall was unlikely to be a threat. Although the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall here wasn't as strong as those outside the various small realms, it was still impossible for several Royal Palace-level experts to break through it. It could be said that Qingyu and her group had lost their chance to breach the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall.

Qingyu knew the situation was hopeless, so he led the royal-level experts straight out. The Blood Slaughter Sect's attacks kept chasing them, but fortunately, they were all very strong, and they managed to break through the Blood Slaughter Sect's encirclement. The Blood Slaughter Sect members didn't keep chasing them; they attacked them for a while and then retreated.

After Qingyu and the others came out, they all turned to look in the direction of Jade Bamboo Continent. Their faces were all very grim. Qingyu then said, "Only we heard what Zhao Hai said at the end; no one else could hear it." Everyone nodded. It was indeed true. When Zhao Hai said those last words, they didn't hear what he said during the battle below.

Qingyu said, "This matter must be kept secret. We absolutely cannot let anyone know. When we get back, we'll say that we broke through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. All the experts from the Blood Slaughter Sect came to stop us, and we fought a great battle with them before we had to retreat. If we tell them about Zhao Hai, the blow to morale will be too great. So this matter must be kept secret."

Everyone was stunned when they heard him say that. Then they all nodded. They knew very well that if the disciples below found out about Zhao Hai's matter, the consequences would be unimaginable. If morale really collapsed, then it would be all over.

Just then, Kong Jing suddenly spoke up: "Do you think Zhao Hai might be putting on a brave face? He actually took one of our attacks and was already injured, but he's just pretending and hasn't shown it, which is why he hasn't attacked a second time. He's just using words to intimidate us, giving the Blood Slaughter Sect enough time to arrange their troops. Just like Zhao Hai said, if he were really that strong, he could have dealt with us all by himself, without needing the Blood Slaughter Sect to intervene. Although he said it was for training, isn't that reason a bit too far-fetched?"

Upon hearing Kong Jing's words, everyone was taken aback. Then, a glint flashed in their eyes. To be honest, it was indeed possible, and the more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Qingyu's eyes gleamed, and he said in a deep voice, "That's a possibility. We can report this possibility to the sect and let them make a judgment. But no matter what, we must be certain of one thing: we absolutely cannot retreat. With us here entangled with the Blood Slaughter Sect, they might not expand. But if we retreat, they will definitely expand. Once they start expanding, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with them. If they expand, no matter which continent they attack, all the people on that continent will become their people. Their strength will keep increasing, while our strength will keep decreasing. At that time, we will truly be finished."

Everyone nodded. Qingyu looked at them and then said, "Let's go back. If we lose this opportunity, we may not be able to conquer the Jade Bamboo Continent again. But we still have to attack them. If we don't attack them, they will attack us sooner or later."

Everyone nodded, and then they immediately ordered the army to retreat. The army of Meteorite Domain also began to retreat slowly. Qingyu and the others went directly to the Ruyi Eight Treasures Gourd. After they arrived, they did not immediately hold a meeting. Instead, they all took out jade slips and small teleportation arrays. Everyone wrote a letter to their sect. After they sent the letters to their sects and families, they began to hold a meeting.

Qingyu glanced at everyone and then said, "Overall, our operation this time was successful. The defense of the Ten Thousand Snake Wall is very good, but it is not unbreakable. As long as we concentrate all our strength on one point, we can definitely break through the Ten Thousand Snake Wall. Similarly, other Ten Thousand Snake Walls can be broken through in the same way."

Everyone nodded, and Qingyu continued, "As for Zhao Hai, there's no point in talking about it now. Even if he were truly injured, it wouldn't make any difference to us, because he genuinely had the ability to withstand an attack from all of us. That kind of strength is beyond the reach of any of us right now." (End of Chapter)
