Bringing the farm to another world

"Elders, this is the situation. This is the Divine Shock Crossbow. I've examined it carefully, and it appears to be genuine. In other words, it was made by Tang Lou back then, and after someone obtained it, it was carefully preserved. Otherwise, it would have been unusable long ago. This one is still functional, although its power is diminished, but it is undoubtedly genuine. The fact that they possess such a genuine Divine Shock Crossbow, along with a poison that can instantly obliterate a person's soul, and can even send out assassins—all of this proves that the people targeting us this time are definitely a powerful and long-established sect. We must be careful. And what troubles me most right now is..." "I suspect word has already spread that we have the Divine Crossbow. If they could plant a Master Lin within our sect, they must be able to plant someone else as well. Although I've tried to keep this a secret, the commotion has been huge, and many in the sect must have noticed. Also, with Master Lin dead, his accomplices will definitely know. They'll realize the mission is complete and immediately leak the news, which will be truly dangerous. So I think we must prepare ourselves. We might face questioning from other sects, which is the biggest crisis facing our Nine Yang Immortal Palace," Li Ruobing said to the elders.

The faces of the several elders were not good. At this moment, Fang Zhongyi immediately spoke up: "Our sect's Fucha is currently leading a group of people on a diplomatic mission to various sects. Should we bring them back? If this matter gets back to those sects, Fucha and the others may be in danger."

Upon hearing Fang Zhongyi's words, everyone was taken aback, then they all nodded. They felt that Fang Zhongyi's words made some sense. If Fucha and the others were really detained by people from other sects, they would be in danger. If someone from another sect used Fucha and the others to negotiate with them, would they agree or not? Agreeing was definitely out of the question, but if they didn't agree, Fucha and the others would be in danger. If Fucha and the others were killed, what would happen to the other core disciples in the sect? Wouldn't those core disciples think that the sect didn't value their lives at all? That would have a significant impact on the Nine Yang Immortal Palace.

Li Ruobing immediately said, "Send them a letter, telling them to come back immediately and that something has happened in the sect and they might be in danger. That way they will know what to do."

Immediately, a hall master responded and then took out a communication array to send a message to Fucha and the others. The person who sent the message was from the Hall of the Nine Suns Immortal Palace, and the Court of State Ceremonial was under their jurisdiction.

Seeing their actions, Fang Zhongyi fell silent. At this moment, Mu Ming spoke up, "We do need to prepare. According to the sect leader, the enemy has very likely already spread this news. Once the other major sects find out, they will definitely attack us. Even if they don't want to, someone will incite them to do so. After all, someone is targeting us, so they will definitely take action. We must prepare as soon as possible."

Everyone nodded, and then Li Ruobing spoke directly: "So, does that mean we have to be on full alert from now on?"

Everyone nodded, and Mu Ming said, "I think it's absolutely necessary. If no one objects, then it's settled."

Everyone nodded. Almost all the Supreme Elders of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace attended this meeting. The only one who did not attend was Kongming, who was currently in seclusion.

After listening to their words, Li Ruobing nodded and then said, "Okay, it's settled then. I'll make the arrangements in a bit. Everyone, if you don't object, we'll get started right away." Everyone responded, and no one objected.

Li Ruobing then spoke up: "Another matter is the selection of the sect leader. The sect's situation is rather special right now. I don't think it's appropriate for someone else to take over the position. I need to remain the sect leader for a while longer. We can change the sect leader once this matter is over. What do you all think?"

This time, no one immediately agreed. Instead, they all fell into deep thought. However, Fang Zhongyi then spoke up: "I agree with this idea. We cannot change the sect leader now. Changing the sect leader now will definitely cause turmoil in the sect. We must overcome this crisis before changing the sect leader. What do you all think?"

Seeing that Fang Zhongyi had agreed, it would be unreasonable for everyone to disagree, so they all nodded in agreement.

Li Ruobing nodded and said, "Alright, then it's settled. This matter is a huge crisis for our Nine Yang Immortal Palace. We must be prepared to fight to the death. The other side has been scheming against us for so long, and they even brought out a powerful weapon like the Divine Shock Crossbow. It's clear that they want to kill us. They will definitely not let us go easily. If we don't prepare for the worst, we will be in real danger. As for our people in those small realms, I think it's time to bring them back. We can bring them all back and take back those small realms after we resolve this crisis."

Everyone nodded, agreeing with his point. However, Fang Zhongyi then spoke up, saying, "If we really have to prepare for the worst, then instead of bringing people back from those smaller interfaces, we should transfer a portion of the sect's members to those smaller interfaces and hide their coordinates."

Upon hearing his words, everyone was taken aback, looking at Fang Zhongyi with some confusion. However, they quickly understood his meaning. If they were to prepare for the worst, they had to consider whether they should leave some seeds for the sect if their Nine Yang Immortal Palace were truly destroyed. Fang Zhongyi's intention was quite clear: to send some people to those smaller realms to settle down, and then have the Nine Yang Immortal Palace seal the coordinates of those smaller realms. After this crisis, they could contact those smaller realms again. If the Nine Yang Immortal Palace were truly destroyed, then those remaining in those smaller realms would be their last seeds, and the inheritance of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace would depend on them.

Mu Ming frowned and said, "Things haven't reached that point yet, have they?" The others all nodded in agreement. They also felt that things hadn't gotten to that point. With the strength of their Nine Yang Immortal Palace, they really didn't believe anyone could easily destroy them. Fang Zhongyi spoke up, "I just think this is the right thing to do. Everyone, don't forget, this time someone is specifically targeting us. And this plan has reached this stage, which means their plan has succeeded. All that's left is to deal with us. If they are truly prepared to deal with us, we will be in great danger. And not just now. As long as the Divine Shock Crossbows are here, they will continue to attack us. This is extremely dangerous."

Fang Zhongyi paused for a moment before continuing, "I'm doing this simply to prepare for the worst."

An elder spoke up, "I think Elder Fang's words make a lot of sense. We should prepare for the worst, so let's start with the worst-case scenario. We should indeed preserve some seeds for the sect." The elder who spoke was Shen Hengdong, an elder of the Shen family.

Mu Ming glanced at Shen Hengdong but didn't say anything. He knew that the Shen family wanted him dead, so there was no point in saying anything.

Li Ruobing said in a deep voice, "Alright, I will make the arrangements. I will arrange for a group of core disciples from the sect, along with some disciples with potential, to go to those smaller realms. But which smaller realm will they go to? Does anyone have any ideas?"

Fang Zhongyi said in a deep voice, "I'll send people to a few smaller realms, and they should bring some cultivation techniques with them, just to be on the safe side." Everyone else nodded; this time, they didn't object.

Li Ruobing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements. Is there anything else you need to arrange?"

Everyone fell silent after hearing his words. Seeing that no one was speaking, Li Ruobing said, "Alright, since no one objects, it's settled then. I'll make the arrangements right away." Everyone nodded, then stood up and left. Li Ruobing immediately began to arrange things for the Nine Yang Immortal Palace.

Meanwhile, Fucha received a message from the auditorium. Upon seeing the message, he was taken aback, unsure of its meaning. However, he immediately summoned Shen Xiao and Mu Ling. Once they arrived, Fucha told them, "The sect just sent me a message saying there's been a change in the sect and we might be in danger. They want us to return to the sect immediately. You two should inform the others in the sect right away. We'll just tell them we're leaving right away."

Both of them were taken aback, then looked at Fucha with some confusion. Shen Xiao even asked, "So urgent?"

Fucha gave a wry smile, took out the jade slip that the auditorium had given him, and handed it directly to Shen Xiao, saying, "Take a look for yourself."

Shen Xiao took the jade slip, glanced at its contents, and his expression changed. He then handed the jade slip to Mu Ling and turned to Fucha, saying, "The sects said we might be in danger. Does that mean the danger might come from these sects? If we leave now, will they detain us?"

Mu Ling had also read the contents of the jade slip, and his expression changed. He turned to Fucha and said, "If the sect can issue such a warning, then the matter must be serious. That means we are currently in danger. If we suddenly leave now, will the people of this sect attack us?"

Fucha thought for a moment, then said, "How about this, notify everyone to use their personal teleportation arrays to return directly to the sect. We'll stay there and find another opportunity to return to the Nine Yang Immortal Palace later." (End of Chapter)
