Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15770 Frankness

"Everyone, this mission is a normal one for our Nine Yang Immortal Palace, so please don't feel any pressure. Just treat it as normal. I know that everyone in the sect is vying for that position, which has caused some turmoil. But to be honest, the sect's Supreme Elders and major families haven't made any moves, so there can't be any real turmoil. It's just a minor disturbance, like a family where the children are fighting and the adults are just watching the show. So nothing will happen to the sect. Our Nine Yang Immortal Palace is still the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, and no one can touch us. So please don't feel any pressure." Fucha stood there, quietly looking at the people below. He had invited all the members of the major families who were accompanying him on this mission. He didn't say anything mysterious and just spoke the truth. When the members of those major families heard Fucha say this, they were all stunned for a moment, and then they all burst into laughter.

Elder Shen Xiao of the Shen family smiled and said, "Commander, you are capable of competing for that position. Now that you are the son-in-law of the Kong family, why don't you try?"

Those who came out with Fucha this time were all elders from various families. However, the fact that he was sent out at this time shows that he is not very important in their families. Matters such as competing for the position of sect leader are not their concern. Therefore, they are not very concerned about this matter, which is why they can joke about it and even directly ask Fucha why he doesn't compete for it.

Fucha shook his head and said, "What's there to fight for? I never thought about fighting for the position of sect leader from the very beginning. I knew from the start that I didn't have much of a chance, so I schemed against Duan Jingshu and got him to help me get the position of deputy hall master of the vassal hall. I was actually quite content with that position. I just wanted to stay in this position, build my own small family, and continue cultivating. That was enough. Later, I became the son-in-law of the Kong family, but as you all know, the Kong family's situation isn't very good. Besides, the Kong family wouldn't genuinely and wholeheartedly help me ascend to the position of sect leader. Although I'm the son-in-law of the Kong family, I don't actually have the surname Kong. If I become the sect leader, it will benefit our Fu family, but it won't benefit the Kong family much. So they wouldn't wholeheartedly help me become the sect leader. Under these circumstances, what am I still fighting for?"

When everyone heard him say that, this time no one laughed. People say that sincerity is the ultimate weapon, and that's absolutely true. No matter how Fucha answered, everyone would just laugh. But now that he answered like this, no one laughed at him because everything he said was true.

Fucha looked at everyone and then smiled slightly, saying, "I know that you are all from various families and represent them. However, I imagine that your status within your families is not very high. At the same time, you must protect the interests of your families, which I can understand. I will not make things difficult for you during this mission, nor will I act recklessly. The reason I am here is to make a statement and tell the people in the sects that I have no intention of vying for that position. Therefore, I hope that we can all complete this mission safely, which will benefit everyone."

Everyone responded in unison. They also understood why Fucha had told them so much. In fact, he had only one purpose: to tell them not to act recklessly this time. He would not make things difficult for them, and they should not make things difficult for him either.

Fucha looked at everyone and then smiled and said, "Actually, this mission is a good thing for us. You all know the situation in the sect right now. If we stayed in the sect, we might get involved. Now that we're out, the sect's affairs won't affect us anymore. Let them fight it out. We just need to complete this mission. I hope everyone understands this."

Everyone responded. Fucha glanced outside again before speaking, "We are now on the territory of another sect. I hope everyone can manage themselves and restrain their subordinates. After all, we represent the face of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. I don't care what conflicts you may have within the sect, but in front of outsiders, we all represent the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, not any specific family. So I hope that even if you have any conflicts, you can put them aside and not let outsiders laugh at us. The reason I'm saying this on someone else's turf is to make everyone understand that now that we've left the sect, we shouldn't be affected by those sect grudges anymore. Do you understand?"

The crowd responded once again. Fucha glanced at them, nodded, and said, "Yes, Commander." They addressed him as Commander very seriously, indicating that they had accepted Fucha as their commander.

Fucha sensed the change in their tone and immediately said, "Alright, everyone go back and prepare. Tonight, the Jianhe Sect is hosting a banquet for us. We must be careful. The Jianhe Sect has always been somewhat disrespectful to our Nine Yang Immortal Palace. During our previous missions, they even sent people to challenge us. Everyone must be on high alert and not tarnish the reputation of our Nine Yang Immortal Palace." The crowd responded once more, their expressions serious. Fucha then waved his hand, and everyone stood up, bowing to him. Fucha returned the bow, and they turned and left.

They left the Nine Yang Immortal Palace today via a teleportation array. Their first stop was the Sword River Sect, a sword-cultivation sect. The people of this sect were arrogant and unruly, and they had always been somewhat dissatisfied with the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. It's no wonder they were dissatisfied; their strength was indeed extremely formidable. Sword cultivators could be considered the best offensive force among all cultivators. In their eyes, their Sword River Sect was the strongest in this region, and they were the boss of this area. However, for so many years, they had been suppressed by the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. How could they accept this? Therefore, every time the Nine Yang Immortal Palace made an envoy, they would stir up trouble and cause problems for the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. That's why Fucha warned everyone to be careful.

The continent of the Sword River Sect is also quite unique. Their continent is different from that of the Nine Suns Immortal Palace. The continent of the Nine Suns Immortal Palace is like a huge nine-story building, while the continent of the Sword River Sect is composed of a continent and some smaller landmasses surrounding it. The continent is in the middle, and other smaller landmasses surround it. The entire Sword River Sect looks like a flower. The Nine Suns Immortal Palace is three-dimensional, while the Sword River Sect is two-dimensional.

As for missions from the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, they certainly wouldn't use large magical artifacts to travel from the Nine Yang Immortal Palace to each sect one by one. That was the practice tens of thousands of years ago. Since the advent of teleportation arrays, no one has done that anymore. They would only use large magical artifacts if they were going to attack the other side and the other side had closed their teleportation arrays. Otherwise, they would use teleportation arrays.

Of course, they didn't just decide to go to a sect and go there directly. That wouldn't be called an envoy; that would be called a surprise inspection. That would definitely cause dissatisfaction from the other side. For sects like the Sword River Sect, they might just send them back.

In fact, when the mission was first established, the route was already planned. The first stop was a sect, the second stop was another sect, and so on. Once the route was planned, they wrote visiting cards and sent special people to each sect to deliver them. The cards specified the dates of their visits, the names of the members, and the matters to be discussed. All of this was written in advance. Only after receiving a reply from the sect would they proceed to visit it. If the sect did not reply, it meant they were not welcome, and they would not go. Therefore, the preparations required for a mission were extensive.

Within the Nine Yang Immortal Palace lies the Court of State Ceremonies, a crucial department specifically responsible for foreign affairs. Although not a branch office, it remains vital, as it is an integral part of the Palace's Hall of Ceremonies. This particular mission was meticulously planned and executed by the Court of State Ceremonies. Consequently, Fucha was transferred directly from the Hall of State Feudal Affairs to the Court of State Ceremonies, becoming its Vice Minister—essentially one of its deputies. This transfer was, in effect, a promotion, as the Hall of State Feudal Affairs was merely a branch office under the Court of State Ceremonies.

Although the Court of State Ceremonial was under the jurisdiction of the Hall of Ceremonial, it held a very high position and could be considered an important part of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, wielding real power. Therefore, when Fucha was transferred to the Court of State Ceremonial, he was promoted several ranks at once.

This was actually a compensation from the various families to the Kong family. Although it was the Kong family that pushed for Fucha's mission, the various families still had to give the Kong family some benefits. Since the Kong family had essentially given up the opportunity to compete for the position of sect leader, the various families naturally had to give them some compensation. Otherwise, the Kong family could still compete for the position of sect leader, which would only make things more complicated. After all, the Kong family's foundation was there. Even if the various families targeted them together, they could turn around and target those families. Even if they couldn't deal with all the families, dealing with one or two families was no problem. No family wanted to confront the Kong family head-on, as that would only benefit others. So they directly transferred Fucha to the Court of State Ceremonial and promoted him, while also giving the Kong family the actual management of the Hall of Feudal Relatives. This was already giving the Kong family a lot of face.

There were quite a few people in the Court of State Ceremonial, as they were responsible for dealing with other sects. They had done this kind of mission before and would make the arrangements well. Fucha and his group only needed to follow the itinerary and visit each sect one by one. Of course, the extent to which they negotiated with each sect was very important and depended on Fucha and his group. After all, the specific negotiations depended on the people involved.
