Bringing the farm to another world

Many people may not understand why the Li family listens to Li Ruobing so much. Under normal circumstances, a family is not ruled by the patriarch alone. Other elders in the family also have their own say, and they will not let the patriarch make the decisions alone.

However, many people have misunderstood something. In general, when a large family is developing at its fastest, it is often the case that one person really makes the decisions. Others can only offer suggestions, but in the end, only the clan leader makes the final decisions. No one else can interfere.

The decline of a family usually occurs when the authority of the clan leader is lost, and the power of the clan elders becomes too great, even to the point of being able to rival the clan leader. This may seem like a good thing, as the clan leader cannot make all the decisions alone. If a decision is wrong, the entire family will suffer. If someone can rival the clan leader's power, then if the clan leader makes a wrong decision, someone can stand up and oppose it.

This seems like a good idea, but it often leads to endless wrangling. Everyone has different demands and represents different interest groups. After all, there are very few people who can truly be selfless. Once there is a conflict of interest, there will be endless wrangling, and in the end, nothing can be done. It will only lead to endless internal friction.

The Li family is a newly emerging large family, and it is a time when the family is developing rapidly. Li Ruobing is the head of the Li family and a king-level expert. His prestige in the Li family is unmatched. It is because of this that Li Ruobing made this decision, and the other members of the Li family immediately nodded in agreement.

When other kingdom-level experts approached their families about this matter, their families immediately agreed. There was no other way; these were kingdom-level experts, the people who truly held sway in their families. Their words were like golden pronouncements, and no one dared to object.

As for what other royal city-level experts should say when they return to their families, it's actually quite simple. If their family is a large, powerful clan with a kingdom-level expert, then it's not their place to say it; the kingdom-level expert will speak for themselves. After all, those kingdom-level experts are already members of the Blood Slaughter Sect, so they will directly state the matter. As for families without kingdom-level experts, it's even simpler. Generally, in such families, the royal city-level expert is the strongest person. Their words might not carry much weight within the sect, but within their own family, their word is law. Most family members won't object, and even if there are objections, they won't be polite; they'll simply label those people as members of the undead race.

The reason they were in such a hurry to act was because Zhao Hai wanted to have a decisive battle with the Twenty-Three Sects when they attacked again. The people here at the Nine Yang Immortal Palace wanted to truly turn the people of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace into members of the Blood Slaughter Sect before Zhao Hai's decisive battle with the Twenty-Three Sects. This was the most important thing.

In that day, all the major and middle-class families in the Nine Suns Immortal Palace became members of the Blood Slaughter Sect. After hearing this news, Li Ruobing breathed a sigh of relief. Then he directly summoned all the kingdom-level experts of the Nine Suns Immortal Palace to his conference room. All the kingdom-level experts, including Fang Zhongyi and Kong Ming, were present.

Once everyone had arrived, Li Ruobing glanced at them and then said, "I think you all know why I called you here, right? Now, all the major and middle-sized families in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace have joined the sect. The remaining small families and ordinary disciples are no longer a concern. I think we can directly announce to everyone in the sect that our Nine Yang Immortal Palace will be merged into the Blood Slaughter Sect. What do you all think?"

Everyone nodded, and Fang Zhongyi then spoke up: "There's nothing to worry about with those small families. In fact, many of them are already members of the sect. We've already started planning for this, so if we say we want to join the sect now, they should all agree."

Upon hearing Fang Zhongyi's words, Li Ruobing and the others were taken aback. They didn't know much about the situation at the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. However, this was a good thing, so Li Ruobing nodded and continued, "Alright, it's good that everyone agrees. Then let's get started. We'll announce this to the entire sect in a little while and see how the people in the sect react."

Everyone responded, and Li Ruobing then said, "Okay, everyone agrees, let's begin now, let's go." Everyone responded, and then they walked out of the conference room. Li Ruobing then turned to a disciple standing outside the door and said, "Go, strike the Nine Yang Bell, one hundred and eight times."

Upon hearing Li Ruobing's words, the disciple's expression changed drastically. He immediately responded and flew away. The Nine Yang Bell was the most important bell in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, and the number of times it was rung indicated the importance of the event. One hundred and eight rings was the most, signifying a life-or-death matter for the sect. That's why the disciple was so surprised when Li Ruobing said it would be rung one hundred and eight times. Soon, the bell rang, and all the disciples of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace heard the sound. They were all stunned, for they all knew it was the sound of the Nine Yang Bell. They all stopped what they were doing, listening quietly to the sound while counting the number of rings.

There were a total of 108 shots. When they heard that there were a total of 108 shots, they were all stunned. Everyone's expression changed, and then they all looked up at the sky.

The Nine Yang Bell is a magical artifact, which is why its ringing allows everyone in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace to hear its sound. The Nine Yang Bell also possesses another ability: it can project a colossal image that simultaneously appears in the sky above each of the nine levels of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. Normally, the projection appears after the bell stops ringing, indicating that the sect has something important to announce. This time, however, the Nine Yang Bell rang a full one hundred and eight times, signifying that the announcement is even more crucial, concerning the very survival of the sect, and cannot be ignored.

Sure enough, the next moment, a projection appeared in the sky above the nine-layered continent of the Nine Suns Immortal Palace. Everyone looked at the projection, and the next moment, everyone's eyes widened in astonishment because they saw all the kingdom-level experts in the sect standing there. This surprised them greatly, and everyone became even more nervous. After all, it was the first time that so many kingdom-level experts had appeared at the same time. How could they not be nervous?

At this moment, Li Ruobing stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "All disciples of the Nine Suns Immortal Palace, listen up. You are all very clear about the current situation of the sect. Our nine suns have been destroyed by the enemy. Without the nine suns as our energy source, our Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation will find it very difficult to withstand the enemy's attack. It can be said that our Nine Suns Immortal Palace is now at its most dangerous moment. If we do nothing, it will be only a matter of time before the sect is destroyed. Therefore, we have made a decision. Starting today, the Nine Suns Immortal Palace will be merged into the Blood Slaughter Sect."

The moment he uttered those words, all the disciples of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace were stunned. They never expected Li Ruobing to say such a thing. They knew the situation of their sect, and it was precisely because they knew that they were so shocked. They never imagined that this would happen. Their Nine Yang Immortal Palace would be merged into another sect. How could this be? They were the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, the overlord of this region! How could they possibly be merged into another sect? So they all thought they had misheard. Everyone stared blankly at the projection, forgetting even to think for a moment.

Li Ruobing seemed oblivious to the disciples' reactions. He continued, "In a moment, the sect elders will place restrictions on you. From today onward, we are all disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect, and the Blood Slaughter Sect will help us defeat our enemies."

Whoosh! The entire Nine Yang Immortal Palace was in an uproar. For most ordinary disciples, this news was too sudden. They couldn't believe that this was actually Li Ruobing and the others' decision. It surprised them greatly.

Li Ruobing noticed the disciples' reactions and roared, "Silence!" His voice, like a thunderclap, immediately silenced everyone. Li Ruobing then continued, "This decision was made with the consent of all the sect's Supreme Elders and the support of most of the elders. The sect is merely informing you, not seeking your opinions. Listen carefully: from today onwards, everyone is a disciple of the Blood Slaughter Sect. Whether you accept it or not, this matter is settled. If you truly do not wish to become disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect, that is also acceptable. The sect's teleportation array will be open from now on. Anyone who wishes to leave can do so directly."

The disciples all fell silent. Li Ruobing had made it very clear that this decision wasn't made by him alone, but by all the sect's elders, who had all agreed. So what were they objecting to? Their objections were futile; they were merely ordinary cultivators at the lower levels. They had no choice but to obey the sect's decisions, not to complain. Therefore, after hearing Li Ruobing's words, the disciples all became obedient. Li Ruobing's words made them realize that they were merely following orders and had no way to change any of the sect's decisions. So they stopped talking and all became quiet.

Li Ruobing also noticed the disciples' condition, and his expression improved considerably. He then said, "Alright, the elders will now place restrictions on you. As long as you don't resist, everything will be fine. If you want to leave the sect, you can leave now. However, if you dare to resist when the elders place the restrictions, you will be punished for treason!" (End of Chapter)
