Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15901 Preparation
Gongsun Yulong pulled his longsword from Min Yuzhu's throat. Min Yuzhu stared intently at Gongsun Yulong, whose face remained expressionless. Min Yuzhu's body lurched backward, about to fall from the sky, but Gongsun Yulong waved his hand, and a rune landed directly on Min Yuzhu's body. Min Yuzhu's body stopped falling, shrank, and then returned to normal, standing up immediately.

He looked at Gongsun Yulong, and Gongsun Yulong looked at him as well. Then, Min Yuzhu bowed to Gongsun Yulong expressionlessly and said, "Greetings, Elder Gongsun."

Gongsun Yulong smiled slightly and said, "No need to be polite. Now is not the time to talk. We can talk properly after we resolve the matter of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect." Min Yuzhu responded, then glanced at the situation of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect. The Green Bamboo Sword Sect had already been defeated, with only a few disciples still putting up a stubborn resistance. To be fair, the Green Bamboo Sword Sect was indeed a very courageous sect. Even now, no one had surrendered; everyone was fighting to the death. Such a sect was indeed very courageous.

Gongsun Yulong turned to Min Yuzhu and said, "Why don't you try to persuade them to surrender? They should listen to you, right?"

To Gongsun Yulong's surprise, Min Yuzhu shook her head and said, "Forget it. Our Qingzhu Sword Sect has always only fought to the death, never surrendered. If I were to make them surrender now, it would affect their Dao heart. It would be better to let them become the undead race."

Gongsun Yulong nodded, not finding Min Yuzhu's words wrong. Dao heart is something you can't see or touch, but it is extremely important to cultivators. Once the Dao heart is shaken, the blow to a cultivator will be devastating. Therefore, he did not insist that Min Yuzhu persuade him to surrender.

What is the Dao Heart? It is actually very simple. It is a person's belief, or faith. It is something that a cultivator firmly believes in. Once the thing that he firmly believes in is found to be a lie, the destruction of such faith is unimaginable. Once the Dao Heart is destroyed, then that cultivator is finished.

The battle ended quickly. Gongsun Yulong glanced at Min Yuzhu and then said, "Next, we will send you to the sect. Once you arrive, you should learn about the sect well and claim all the benefits it offers."

Min Yuzhu and the others all responded. Gongsun Yulong immediately arranged for people to send them back to the Blood Slaughter Sect. Although many people returned to the Blood Slaughter Sect this time, it was nothing to the sect as they had faced similar situations before, so they were not flustered at all.

After Gongsun Yulong and his group finished dealing with the matters of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect, and all the matters of the other sects in the Overlord Blade Domain were also resolved, Gu Shang returned to the Blood Slaughter Sect and went directly to see Wen Wenhai.

Upon hearing that Gu Shang had arrived, Wen Wenhai immediately summoned him to his study. He then asked, "How did it go?" Gu Shang had returned to the Fengying Sect to persuade them to surrender, and Wen Wenhai wanted to know the outcome of his efforts.

Gu Shang said in a deep voice, "It's agreed. The people of Fengying Sect have agreed to merge into the sect, but they also have conditions. They hope that Fengying Sect can have greater autonomy. That is to say, after merging into the sect, although they can become a branch of the sect, they should have greater autonomy. They should be able to decide on the appointment and dismissal of their internal personnel, and the sect should not interfere with their cultivation techniques. In other words, after joining the sect, they should remain in a relatively independent state."

Wen Wenhai wasn't angry; instead, he looked at Gu Shang with a smile and asked, "How did you reply to them?"

Gu Shang said in a deep voice, "I agree. I told them that we can give them autonomy, but they have to agree to accept the benefits of the sect, and at the same time let their disciples understand the sect and its techniques. If their disciples want to learn the sect's techniques, they cannot stop them."

"Hahahaha!" Wen Wenhai burst into laughter upon hearing Gu Shang's words. He looked at Gu Shang and said, "Your move is brilliant. They don't understand sects. They might think that by agreeing to your conditions, they can control the Fengying Sect. But they never realize that once they agree to join a sect, they will no longer be able to control their own sect. In fact, they might not even be in the mood to manage the Fengying Sect anymore. At that point, the sect won't need to take back their power; they will probably hand it over themselves."

Gu Shang nodded. He wasn't a talkative person. He had already said a lot this time because he was going to persuade them to surrender, so when he heard Wen Wenhai say this, he didn't say anything more, and didn't even boast about his achievements.

Looking at Gu Shang's expression, Wen Wenhai knew Gu Shang's temper and wasn't angry. Instead, he asked, "So, when do they decide to join the sect?" Gu Shang replied in a deep voice, "Anytime is fine. I've already spoken to them. The sect will send people over to place restrictions on them, and then let them enter the sect in batches to learn about it and receive its benefits. As for the other smaller sects of the Wind Shadow Sect, we'll deal with them as we see fit."

Wen Wenhai nodded and said, "Well done. I will arrange for someone to plant the sitting meditation mark on them and then send them into the sect. As for the other small sects in the Wind Shadow Domain, that's simple too. I'll just have someone take care of it."

Gu Shang nodded, and Wen Wenhai then asked, "Do you still want to go back?"

Gu Shang shook his head and said, "I'm not going back. I've recently reached a critical point in my cultivation, and I plan to go into seclusion for a while. Although I can't increase my level, I can improve my strength."

Wen Wenhai nodded and said, "Alright, if you really make a breakthrough, remember to write down your insights. This is very important for the sect."

Gu Shang nodded and responded. Then Wen Wenhai said, "I'll send someone to the Fengying Sect to place restrictions on them right now. You should take them there and come back later. After all, if you don't take them there, it will be troublesome if the people from the Fengying Sect don't believe you."

Gu Shang responded, and Wen Wenhai said, "I've made all the arrangements. You can take your men and go." Gu Shang responded and then turned and left. After Gu Shang left, Wen Wenhai sent a letter to Ding Chunming and the others, instructing them to deal with the small sects in the Wind Shadow Domain, to take over the entire Wind Shadow Domain first, and then deal with the Overlord Blade Sect.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Vajra and his group were making preparations with all their might. Their sect's protective mountain formation had been fully activated. Their protective mountain formation was also very famous, called the Golden Light Sword Qi Formation. It was a sword formation, a very powerful sword formation. It could be said that their protective mountain formations all had strong offensive capabilities.

Jin Gang was also waiting for the experts from other sects in the Overlord Blade Domain to gather at their Overlord Blade Sect. To be honest, Song Xing's departure had greatly affected Jin Gang. He still didn't know how Song Xing had left, but he was very clear that if Song Xing could leave, he could also return. If Song Xing returned silently like this time, it would pose a great threat to them. Therefore, although he activated the defensive array, he also had the array experts in the Overlord Blade Sect set up another array, a barrier array. He planned to use the barrier array to cover the entire Overlord Blade Sect, believing that Song Xing would not come back.

The others in the Overlord Blade Sect also knew that this battle was a matter of life and death for the sect. Everyone was actively preparing for the battle. To be honest, sometimes, ordinary cultivators don't have much influence on a sect. For example, the ordinary people in the Overlord Blade Sect didn't know what the Blood Slaughter Sect was like or how strong it was. They only knew that the elders in the sect had said that Elder Song Xing had betrayed the sect and was going to lead the enemy to attack them. They had to be prepared to defend and protect the entire sect.

Such propaganda united the disciples of the Overlord Blade Sect, making everyone prepared to fight to the death against the enemy. Sometimes, ordinary disciples are easily fooled. This isn't to say they lack critical thinking skills, but rather that the information they receive is unequal. What they know is often what the sect wants them to know; they arrive at incorrect conclusions based on flawed information, which is hardly surprising.

Jin Gang had no idea that, apart from their own sect, all the other sects in the Overlord Blade Domain had already been dealt with by the Blood Slaughter Sect, and the Wind Shadow Sect had also surrendered to the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Soon, all the people from the Wind Shadow Sect were placed under the restriction and then entered the Blood Slaughter Sect in batches. After they truly understood the Blood Slaughter Sect, the people from the Wind Shadow Sect understood why Gu Shang looked at them so strangely when they proposed a high degree of autonomy. Indeed, in the Blood Slaughter Sect, power was probably the most useless thing.

Why do so many people crave power? Because the greater your power, the more resources you can control. You can even decide the life and death of countless people with a single word. But there's a crucial premise: why do you want to decide their lives? Ultimately, it comes down to resources. You mobilize countless people to attack others—is it for no other reason than to force their submission and gain some fame? That's impossible. What you still want is resources, but the Blood Slaughter Sect has no shortage of resources. You could say they have anything you want; if you can't imagine it, the Blood Slaughter Sect has it. In this situation, what's the point of having power? Is it just for the thrill of commanding others? You attack others to seize their resources? But the Blood Slaughter Sect has never lacked resources. In this situation, why would you need to seize resources? Besides, they are, after all, cultivators. Do cultivators pursue power? What they pursue is the path to immortality and a carefree life, and you can get almost all of these after joining the Blood Slaughter Sect. Therefore, many people stop pursuing power after joining the Blood Slaughter Sect. Compared with the path to immortality, what does power matter?
