Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15772 Success
Upon seeing Huang Ying's movements, Su Qing raised an eyebrow. Then, he suddenly moved, rushing straight towards Huang Ying. However, he didn't move in a straight line, but rather snaked forward. The long sword in his hand was always pointed at Huang Ying.

Upon seeing Su Qing, Huang Yi smiled slightly and said, "Chen Guang." As he spoke, he raised his longsword, and a faint light slowly emanated from it. The light was not very bright, but it gave people a powerful feeling, like the sun just rising. Although it was not yet at its peak, it could already dispel the darkness and bring light and warmth to the earth. Most importantly, this sunlight had an unstoppable momentum.

Upon seeing Huang Ying's swordsmanship, Su Qing's face couldn't help but show a solemn expression. At the same time, a hissing sound came from beside him, as if a large snake was constantly flicking its tongue.

The next moment, the giant snake suddenly raised its head and charged straight at Huang Yi. With a bang, both of them were forced back. They had just exchanged a sword strike, and neither of them had gained the upper hand.

Looking at Su Qing, Huang Ying couldn't help but smile. In terms of sheer power, his sword strike was no match for Su Qing's, but his swordsmanship was far superior. This swordsmanship completely masked his weakness of being weaker than his opponent, which is why the two of them had just fought to a draw.

On the other hand, Su Qing also noticed this, but his expression was not good. You must know that he was a member of the Sword River Sect, and the Sword River Sect was a sword cultivation sect. For a disciple of a sword cultivation sect to be inferior to his opponent in swordsmanship and only able to fight to a draw with his opponent by strength was the greatest humiliation for him. No wonder Su Qing's expression was not good.

Many people in the arena saw this and were very surprised. They had not expected that Su Qing would lose to someone from the Nine Yang Immortal Palace in swordsmanship. This was something that many people from the Sword River Sect could not accept.

The Sword River Sect members all looked rather grim, but they remained silent. Meanwhile, the battle between Su Qing and Huang Ying continued. Because the arena wasn't very large, the two sides exchanged blows for several rounds, neither able to gain the upper hand.

At this moment, Guan Yi spoke up: "Alright, stop it, let's call this a draw, shall we?" After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Fucha.

Fucha smiled and said, "This match was going to be a draw anyway."

Then the Sword River Sect sent another cultivator, and Fucha also sent one. The difference between the two sides was not obvious, but this time the Sword River Sect won. After all, they were sword cultivators, and the title of number one in sword cultivation was not given lightly. Their strength was indeed very formidable.

In the following matches, both sides had their wins and losses. To the surprise of the Jianhe Sect, they lost more than they won. In the end, after ten matches, the Jianhe Sect won four and drew one, while the Nine Yang Immortal Palace won five and drew one. They only won one match against the Jianhe Sect. Although the people from the Jianhe Sect did not look very happy, they did not say anything. After the competition, the banquet was lively for a while before it dispersed.

When Fucha and the others left, Guan Yi was reporting the matter to the sect leader of Jianhe Sect. His expression was not very good as he reported, after all, they had lost face today.

The sect leader of the Sword River Sect was a cultivator who looked to be only in his forties. He was dressed in a scholar's robe and had a scholarly air about him, which was completely different from the stereotypical image of sword cultivators. Generally, sword cultivators are seen as sharp and straightforward as swords, with an inherent sharpness. However, the sect leader of the Sword River Sect gave people a strong sense of scholarly air, as if he were a scholar rather than a swordsman.

After hearing Guan Yi's words, he looked at Guan Yi and smiled, saying, "What? Are you a little unconvinced?"

Guan Yi didn't speak, but his expression told the other party that he was indeed unconvinced.

The other party smiled slightly and said, "Don't be unconvinced. They've actually been letting us win. If they were really serious, we might have lost a few more rounds. You know, the people sent by the Nine Yang Immortal Palace are all elites, handpicked. It's normal for them to be strong. It would be abnormal if they were easily defeated by us. However, they also know they're on our territory and can't afford to embarrass us too much, so they haven't gone all out against us. That's normal. Don't overthink it." Upon hearing this, Guan Yi's expression changed again. He immediately said, "Impossible! They're still holding back?"

The other party smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise they wouldn't have only won one match against us. It seems that the turmoil within the Nine Yang Immortal Palace is not very great, at least it hasn't shaken the foundation. In that case, we don't have much of a chance. In the next few days, we should just have normal negotiations with the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. Don't think about taking advantage of them. Those guys in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace won't let us gain an advantage so easily."

Guan Yi responded. They had originally planned to put pressure on the Nine Yang Immortal Palace during negotiations and gain some advantage, because they had received news that the Nine Yang Immortal Palace was in turmoil. Their old sect leader was about to become the Supreme Elder, and the new sect leader had not yet been determined. The core disciples of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace were vying for the position of sect leader, which caused turmoil in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. They thought they could take advantage of the turmoil to put pressure on the other side and gain some advantage from the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. But now it seemed that this was impossible.

The sect leader of the Sword River Sect waved his hand, and Guan Yi immediately withdrew. He still respected the sect leader very much. Don't be fooled by the fact that the sect leader of the Sword River Sect doesn't look like a sword cultivator; his strength is extremely formidable. He is only one step away from the Kingdom level. Moreover, because he is fair in his dealings, he handles the affairs of the sect very well. Under his leadership, the Sword River Sect is stronger than before. It is precisely because of this that he has great prestige in the Sword River Sect.

The sect leader of the Sword River Sect is surnamed Kong and named Kong Fang. He is a prominent figure in the Divine Realm, known as the Heroic Sword Saint. He created a set of Heroic Swords based on ancient heroic writing techniques, and he is virtually unmatched in the Divine Realm.

Kong Fang watched Guan Yi leave and sighed softly. His original strength was similar to that of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace Sect Master. He believed he could also become a Kingdom-level expert, but unfortunately, his speed was still not as fast as the Nine Yang Immortal Palace Sect Master's, which made him somewhat regretful. However, he quickly composed himself and began to deal with the matters of the Sword River Sect. The reason he did not go to see Fucha was because of the principle of equal dialogue. The Nine Yang Immortal Palace sent Fucha, the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial. Their sending Guan Yi was already giving the Nine Yang Immortal Palace enough face. Otherwise, they should have sent the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial to receive them. That would be called equal dialogue. They sent someone of a higher rank, which was already a great honor for the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. Of course, there was no reason for him, the sect master, to meet with a mere Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial.

Meanwhile, Fucha and the others returned to their courtyard. Fucha gave them a few more instructions and then told them to rest, as it was already very late and they needed to get plenty of rest in order to deal with any emergencies.

The next day, Fucha and his group began to contact the people from the Jianhe Sect. In fact, it was nothing more than to conduct various negotiations with the people from the Jianhe Sect. There had been trade between the two sects before, and now they needed to discuss how to continue this trade in the next few years.

Fucha and his group were prepared for a tough battle. After all, they always had to put in a lot of effort when negotiating with the Sword River Sect. And now, the Sword River Sect probably already knew about the internal turmoil within the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. They probably wouldn't let this opportunity pass and would definitely try to put pressure on them. So this negotiation might be very troublesome.

Fucha was well aware that the Sword River Sect was also very powerful, but the Nine Yang Immortal Palace dared not break ties with the Sword River Sect. If the two sides really fought, it would only benefit others in the end. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, they would not break ties with the Sword River Sect. If they could not break ties, then they could only talk and talk slowly.

To Fucha and his companions' surprise, although their negotiations with the Jianhe Sect had some twists and turns and some difficulties, they were not as difficult as they had imagined. It seemed that the Jianhe Sect did not deliberately try to suppress them because of the turbulent situation within the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. The result of the negotiations was similar to that in the past. Although there were some changes, the changes were not significant, which surprised Fucha and his companions greatly.

Fucha and his group had originally planned to waste a few more days at the Sword River Sect, but unexpectedly, all the negotiations were completed within their planned timeframe. This made Fucha somewhat uneasy. After all the negotiations were completed and the agreements were signed, Fucha summoned the representatives of the various families to his room. Once everyone was in his room, Fucha waved his hand, releasing a protective barrier that enveloped the room. Then, he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, do you feel anything is amiss?"

Everyone was stunned, looking at Fucha with some confusion, unsure of his meaning. Fucha, observing their expressions, continued in a deep voice, "Wasn't our negotiation a little too smooth this time? The people from the Sword River Sect didn't even try to exert any pressure on us. Don't they know the situation within our sect? I think that's impossible. They must know that our sect is experiencing some turmoil because of the sect leader's matter. But under these circumstances, they haven't made any move, nor have they considered trying to suppress us. Isn't that a bit abnormal? They've been too calm, haven't they?"

Everyone frowned upon hearing Fucha's words. Mu Ling, an elder of the Mu family, looked at Fucha and felt that Fucha was too nervous, so he said, "Commander, aren't you too nervous? Wouldn't it be better if they behaved normally? Besides, even if our Nine Yang Immortal Palace experiences some turmoil, it's not something they can afford to offend, is it?"
