Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16114 Jade Sun Sect

Several rogue cultivators were hunting a demonic beast. Under their combined attack, the beast was quickly killed, and the cultivators' faces lit up with joy. Just as they were about to step forward and butcher the beast, a person suddenly appeared beside it. The cultivators were stunned, and then their expressions changed. They all looked at the person with hostility, assuming that the other party had come to steal their prey. Such things happen quite often in the wild.

However, once they saw the imposing aura emanating from Zhao Hai, they immediately put away their weapons. Although Zhao Hai's aura wasn't particularly strong, his mere presence exuded a sense of steadfastness, like a mountain. These rogue cultivators were all astute individuals, and they could immediately tell that Zhao Hai's strength far surpassed theirs. Losing a demonic beast was a small matter; if they truly displeased Zhao Hai, he might genuinely take their lives. Compared to their own lives, a demonic beast was nothing.

Zhao Hai glanced at the group of rogue cultivators, then smiled and said, "Excuse me, fellow cultivators, I'm lost. I'd like to ask you all, what area are we in now? Are there any sects nearby?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, the rogue cultivators were all taken aback. Then, one of them immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhao Hai and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. This is the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, the entrance to Hengyang. The closest sect to here is the Jade Sun Sect. The Jade Sun Sect is just a small sect. I heard that the strongest people in their sect are their sect leader and their great elder. The strength of these two has only reached the King City level. The entire sect does not have a single Kingdom level expert. Moreover, I heard that the Jade Sun Sect seems to be in some trouble recently. They seem to have offended a rogue cultivator who is a Kingdom level expert. That Kingdom level expert has said that he will cause trouble for them. They are having a headache about how to deal with this matter."

The rogue cultivator not only told Zhao Hai about the sects nearby, but also told him about the Jade Yang Sect. Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai understood why the Jade Yang Sect disciples he had encountered earlier were so nervous when they saw him. After all, those Jade Yang Sect disciples were in Jade Yang Sect territory, and the fact that they were so nervous when they encountered Zhao Hai on their own turf spoke volumes.

Zhao Hai nodded, then said to the rogue cultivator, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, where is the Jade Yang Sect located? I mean, the location of their sect?" The rogue cultivator immediately replied, "In that direction, fly forward about five thousand miles, there is a not-very-high mountain there, that is Jade Yang Mountain, and the Jade Yang Sect is on that mountain."

Zhao Hai nodded, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the group of rogue cultivators and said, "Thank you. This is a small token of my gratitude. Please accept it." After saying that, Zhao Hai tossed a small spatial bag to the cultivator who had spoken to him, then stood up and flew straight ahead.

The rogue cultivator accepted the spatial bag Zhao Hai gave him. He scanned the bag with his spiritual power and then exclaimed in surprise. The other rogue cultivators immediately gathered around and asked, "What happened? What did he give you?"

The rogue cultivator immediately said, "One hundred spirit stones."

Upon hearing what the rogue cultivator said, the other rogue cultivators were also taken aback. They knew that one hundred spirit stones was no small sum for rogue cultivators; it usually took them several months to earn one hundred spirit stones. They never expected that the other party would give it to them so casually.

The rogue cultivator who had been talking to Zhao Hai looked in the direction Zhao Hai had gone and murmured, "Who exactly is he?" Of course, no one gave him an answer, because they didn't know Zhao Hai at all.

Meanwhile, the Yu Yang Sect disciples who had met with Zhao Hai have now returned to the sect. Upon their return, they immediately reported the matter to their elders, who in turn reported it to their sect leader. After all, the Yu Yang Sect is currently in a critical period, and they must be careful.

The sect leader of the Jade Sun Sect was named Zhao Yuguang. He looked to be in his fifties and had a dignified appearance, but now his brows were deeply furrowed. He knew that they were a small sect, and it was not easy for a small sect like theirs to survive. This time, they had offended a rogue cultivator at the Kingdom level, which was almost a catastrophe for their sect.

Zhao Yuguang had no other options. All he could do was prepare as best he could. He also sent out the sect's Grand Elder, whose sole mission was to see if he could bring in reinforcements.

The Grand Elder had some connections with an elder of the Changchun Sect. Although the Changchun Sect wasn't a major sect, it was still a mid-level sect. The Changchun Sect had five Kingdom-level experts. If the people of the Changchun Sect were truly willing to help, they could use their sect's name to intimidate that Kingdom-level expert, and their crisis might be resolved.

Just then, a knock came at the door and someone said, "Sect Master, the Grand Elder has returned."

Zhao Yuguang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said, "Please come in quickly."

Then the door was pushed open, and an elderly man who looked to be over seventy years old walked in. His face was somewhat gloomy, and as soon as Zhao Yuguang saw his face, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that things might not have gone well.

However, he immediately went to greet him, bowed to the old man and said, "Elder, you must be tired from your journey. Please have a seat."

The First Elder shook his head and said, "Sect Master, there's no need to be so polite. This time, we failed to accomplish our goal. Elder Wu has already done his best to help us, and the Changchun Sect has also agreed to help us. However, they have proposed that we pay tribute with at least 100,000 spirit stones every year. If we really agree, wouldn't our Yuyang Sect become one of their branches? We would be even less than one of their branches. How could I possibly agree to that?"

Upon hearing the elder's words, Zhao Yuguang's expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard another knock on the door. He frowned and then said, "Come in." The door was pushed open, and a person walked in. He bowed to Zhao Yuguang and then said, "Sect Master, the disciples below just reported that another expert has appeared in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain area under our jurisdiction."

Zhao Yuguang was taken aback for a moment, then immediately asked, "Another expert has appeared? What kind of expert? How strong is he?"

The disciple spoke up: "Reporting to the sect leader, they only said that they encountered someone at Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, without mentioning the person's strength. However, it is certain that the person is very strong, and they did not linger. It seems they only asked the disciples for directions before leaving. But the disciples were worried that something might happen, so they reported the news directly."

Upon hearing the disciple's words, Zhao Yuguang frowned. He then said, "Alright, you may leave." The disciple acknowledged, bowed to Zhao Yuguang and the Grand Elder, and then turned and left.

After he left, the Grand Elder frowned and sighed, "These are turbulent times."

Zhao Yuguang nodded, then said, "Yes, these are turbulent times, Elder. For now, we can only use the second plan."

The Grand Elder looked at Zhao Yuguang and then asked, "Sect Master, do we really have to do this?"

Zhao Yuguang sighed heavily and said, "We have no choice but to do this now. We must leave some seeds for the sect."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder fell silent for a moment before saying, "Then I will make the arrangements now." Zhao Yuguang nodded, then looked at the Grand Elder and said, "Grand Elder, after you leave, find a place to stay peacefully for a while. Don't let anyone know that you are related to the Jade Sun Sect, lest Feng Wuya find you. When the storm has passed, you can establish a small sect again, but don't call it the Jade Sun Sect."

This is their second plan: the Grand Elder will lead some disciples of the sect to leave. These disciples are all elites of the sect. They will also take most of the sect's resources and cultivation techniques with them. Then they can find a place to hide and wait for things to calm down before they come out to establish a small sect. Using those disciples as a foundation, they will train some new disciples and rebuild the Jade Sun Sect.

However, Zhao Yuguang was also very clear that Feng Wuya was a kingdom-level expert with a long lifespan. If he were to discover that the Yuyang Sect had been resurrected while he was still alive, it was hard to guarantee that he would not attack the Yuyang Sect again. That's why Zhao Yuguang said that if the Grand Elder and the others were to rebuild the sect, they should not call it the Yuyang Sect anymore, as that would be too dangerous.

After listening to Zhao Yuguang's words, the Grand Elder could only nod helplessly. He was well aware that Zhao Yuguang was giving his final instructions, and what he said was exactly what they had to do.

The elder stood up and prepared to leave when a piercing alarm sounded. Upon hearing the sound, both of them changed their expressions and flew out of the room. As soon as they flew out, they saw something hovering in the sky. The piercing alarm was emitted by their mountain-protecting formation.

Zhao Yuguang and the Grand Elder were taken aback when they saw the man. Although they had never met Feng Wuya, they had heard of him. Feng Wuya was said to be a very handsome man who cared a lot about his appearance, so he was said to look only in his twenties. But the man in the sky looked to be in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance, and did not resemble Feng Wuya at all.

The two exchanged a glance, and Zhao Yuguang said to the Grand Elder, "I'll go see who he is. You hurry up and get ready."

The Grand Elder nodded. He understood Zhao Yuguang's meaning. Zhao Yuguang wanted to attract the other party's attention and buy the Grand Elder enough time.

Zhao Yuguang immediately took to the air and soon landed in front of the man, who was none other than Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai looked at Zhao Yuguang and then smiled slightly, saying, "May I ask if you are the Sect Master of the Jade Sun Sect? I am Zhao Hai, and I greet you."

His actions surprised Zhao Yuguang. He returned the greeting and then asked, "May I ask what brings you to my Yuyang Sect, fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. I just heard that the Jade Sun Sect has been having some trouble lately, so I came to take a look and also thought I might become the sect leader of the Jade Sun Sect."
