Bringing the farm to another world

"Don't be angry anymore, what's there to be angry about, brother? Thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to join the Blood Slaughter Sect. I won't say anything more. I really want to thank you for this. I'll treat you to a drink sometime," Fan Gang said with a smile.

“You can drink anytime. Now that you’re a member of the sect, I won’t stand on ceremony with you anymore. You should know the situation of the sect. The sect is keeping a low profile now, but its strength is undeniable. So, the sect will definitely take action against other sects in the future. The ultimate target is the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. What we need to do now is to develop the sect’s influence as much as possible here at the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, while not letting the people of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace find out. How about it? Can you do it?” Tian Ying looked at Fan Gang after she finished speaking.

Fan Gang listened to his words, thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, I'll start with the family and turn all the family members into members of the sect. Then we can slowly expand outwards. After all, we have to be careful in our actions. Even the slightest mistake can cause a lot of trouble. If someone finds out, it will only cause more trouble."

Tian Ying nodded and said, "That's right, that's the idea. But don't rush, you can take it slow. You should study in the sect for a while, get to know the sect well, and collect all the sect's benefits before you take action. Don't rush, the sect isn't in a hurry. Anyway, the sect's focus isn't on this right now."

Fan Gang nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take it slow. By the way, you said you wouldn't let the Ming family off the hook. How are you planning to make your move? That guy Ming Liu probably won't give you the chance, right?"

Tian Ying smiled slightly and said, "Ming Liu won't give me a chance, but the other members of the Ming family will. I will have our servants come into contact with the servants of the Ming family. Surely no one will suspect anything that way? As long as we can make contact, we can turn the people of the Ming family into our own. Once one person from the Ming family becomes one of us, then the rest of the Ming family will gradually become ours as well."

Fan Gang was taken aback, then he burst into laughter and said, "You're right. As long as one member of the Ming family becomes one of us, then the others will gradually become ours. Okay, then I won't worry about that. My main task now is to find a way to turn all the members of our family into members of the sect."

Tian Ying nodded and said, "Yes, this is your most important task, but don't rush. The most important thing is to avoid being exposed, understand?"

Fan Gang responded, and the two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up. After hanging up, Tian Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew the first step was complete; the next step was to contact people from other sects.

Meanwhile, Liu Quan had already begun contacting other of Duan Jingshu's men. Just as Wu Weiren had said, Duan Jingshu's men were now leaderless, so they were all keeping a very low profile. When they followed Duan Jingshu before, they weren't exactly arrogant, but they weren't exactly low-key either. Of course, they had offended some people. Now that Duan Jingshu had fallen, their good days were over. So they were all keeping a low profile now, trying their best to avoid being noticed by others.

Liu Quan was arguably the most miserable among them. Although the others had all become more obedient, at least they hadn't been beaten. However, it wasn't that they were living well; none of them were having a good time.

That's why when Liu Quan contacted them and said he had found a new way out, they immediately agreed. They then arranged to meet at one of their people's residences. They no longer dared to meet outside, fearing that they would be discovered by someone with ulterior motives. If that person wanted to deal with them, they could wipe them all out. So they arranged to meet at someone's house. They were very careful when they arrived. At first, they used magic to leave their own residences and then carefully arrived at the house of the person they were meeting. Only after confirming that no one was following them did they enter the house.

In fact, there weren't many people at this gathering. Some people had lost contact with them after Duan Jingshu's downfall, and it's now very difficult for them to find him. So there were only a dozen or so people at this gathering.

When Liu Quan arrived, almost everyone else had arrived as well. Liu Quan was the most cautious of them all, because there were always people causing him trouble these days. Although they wouldn't kill him, they would certainly make him suffer. That's why Liu Quan was so careful.

After he entered the courtyard, he found that everyone else had arrived. He immediately bowed to everyone and said, "Greetings, fellow disciples. Liu Quan is very kind to you."

The others glanced at Liu Quan and then nodded. One of them said, "Junior Brother Liu, come and sit down. We've all been waiting for you."

Liu Quan responded and then walked over and sat down. Everyone else looked at him. Liu Quan glanced at everyone and then said, "I know you all came because you heard about what I said about finding another way out for everyone. I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Wu Weiren contacted me before." As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned, and then their expressions changed. The man who had spoken earlier immediately turned gloomy. He looked at Liu Quan and said, "Liu Quan, what do you mean?"

Liu Quan looked at the man, who was the owner of the courtyard, named Meng Yi. He immediately said, "Senior Brother Meng, I believe you understand what I mean. You should know where Wu Weiren is now, and you should also know who he represents. I know that everyone is very disgusted with Wu Weiren. I was the same way at first, but Wu Weiren asked me a few questions that I really couldn't answer. Now I can ask you all these questions, and you can answer them as well."

He paused here, glanced at everyone, and everyone looked at him without saying a word, but their expressions remained grim.

Liu Quan didn't care. He said in a deep voice, "The first question is, when Wu Weiren was by Senior Brother Duan's side, did he do anything to betray Senior Brother Duan?"

Everyone was stunned. They all opened their mouths in surprise. They all knew what Wu Weiren had done when he was by Duan Jingshu's side. Although Wu Weiren could offer advice to Duan Jingshu, the final decision was always made by Duan Jingshu. Moreover, the advice Wu Weiren offered at that time was really not bad. If there was anything Wu Weiren did to offend Duan Jingshu, it was probably that after Duan Jingshu was punished, Wu Weiren sided with Fucha. But when he was by Duan Jingshu's side, it seemed that he really did nothing to offend Duan Jingshu.

Liu Quan then asked, "The second question is, even if Senior Brother Duan hadn't had that accident, would he have been qualified to become the sect leader?"

Everyone was stunned once again. Their expressions changed, but no one spoke. Just as Liu Quan said, even if Duan Jingxu wasn't punished, could he become the sect leader? That was really uncertain. With those family disciples competing, it would be extremely difficult for him to become the sect leader.

Liu Quan then asked, "The third question is, even if Senior Brother Duan eventually becomes the sect leader, what benefits will we gain?"

The crowd fell silent even more. Liu Quan's third question was the most hurtful, because they all knew very well that, given Duan Jingshu's personality, even if he became the sect leader, he probably wouldn't be able to give them much benefit. They had been following Duan Jingshu for quite some time, but the real benefits they had received were not much. Otherwise, their lives wouldn't be so difficult.

After hearing these three questions, they were all speechless, and their faces all darkened.

Liu Quan looked at them and then said, "Do you know why Wu Weiren wanted to join Senior Brother Fucha? It's because Senior Brother Fucha's goal from the very beginning was not the position of sect leader, but his current position. Senior Brother Fucha's original plan was to fight for his current position so that he would no longer be targeted by those who wanted to become sect leader. They could then develop slowly. With this power in their hands, they could also receive some benefits every year. They could then slowly cultivate and develop their own families. Through gradual accumulation, they would eventually become a large family. That was Senior Brother Fucha's plan."

Everyone fell silent after hearing his words. To be honest, they really hadn't expected that Fucha had never thought of vying for the position of sect leader from the very beginning. This really surprised them.

Liu Quan continued, "Compared to Senior Brother Duan's single-minded desire to compete for the position of sect leader, Senior Brother Fucha's plan is clearly more in line with reality and more likely to succeed. I remember when Wu Weiren was under Senior Brother Duan's command, he repeatedly advised Senior Brother Duan not to compete for the position of sect leader, but Senior Brother Duan did not listen and even reprimanded him a few times. That's why Wu Weiren stopped mentioning the matter."

Everyone fell silent. They all knew what Liu Quan had said. Wu Weiren had indeed advised Duan Jingshu not to compete for the position of sect leader, but Duan Jingshu wouldn't listen. Even at the very end, Wu Weiren had to confirm with Duan Jingshu whether he really wanted to compete for the position of sect leader, and Duan Jingshu's answer was still that he wanted to compete for the position of sect leader. So from this point of view, Wu Weiren had indeed done enough.

Liu Quan began, “Now that Senior Brother Duan is in trouble, we've lost our backing. We've all offended people in the past, which is extremely disadvantageous for us. I know you might think that only I'm suffering so much, and that you'll be fine, but how can you be sure you won't? How can you be sure no one is watching you? They might be looking for an opportunity, and if they do, they won't let you off the hook. So we have to find a new backer. Those families have plenty of manpower; they don't need us. Even if we wanted to get close to them, they wouldn't want us. Wu Weiren came to me to ask us to switch our allegiance to Senior Brother Fucha. Although Senior Brother Fucha didn't get along with Senior Brother Duan, he has no grudge against us. Why can't we switch our allegiance to Senior Brother Fucha?” (End of Chapter)
