Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16259 Disbandment
Gongsun Xing was now curious as to why some family disciples would voluntarily request to go to other branch halls. Was it simply for cultivation? Couldn't they cultivate within the family? Weren't they afraid of not getting enough cultivation resources if they left the family?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Gongsun Xing's mind. He remembered what Bai Yan had said and instantly understood its meaning. His expression changed. He finally realized what Bai Yan meant; Bai Yan was subtly hinting at something to him.

Gongsun Xing took a deep breath and then said, "Yes, any family disciple can go to any branch they want. After joining the sect, each family disciple will receive the most suitable cultivation method and the most suitable resources for their cultivation. The family's help to them is already very limited. Letting them join other branches is a good thing for them. Let them go. In the future, anyone in the family who wants to join other branches can go."

Upon hearing this, all the elders responded. Gongsun Xing glanced at them, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "You all must remember, we are no longer in the Divine Kingdom, but in the sect. We can no longer use the same thinking we had in the Divine Kingdom to handle matters in the sect. Before, in the Divine Kingdom, we could rely on the power of our families to gain more benefits, providing our family disciples with more cultivation resources. As long as the strength of our family disciples increased, the strength of the entire family would increase. But now we are in the sect, the situation is completely different. In the sect..." "We have cultivation techniques suitable for everyone, and resources suitable for everyone, in abundance. Most importantly, everyone in the family can achieve immortality. Therefore, there's no point in the family sticking together as before, and the sect doesn't want that to happen either. So from now on, family disciples can join whichever branch they want, and do whatever they want. The family won't interfere anymore. It's time for our family disciples to disperse. Wherever they go, they'll still be disciples of the Gongsun family. What's wrong with that?"

When the elders of the Gongsun family heard Gongsun Xing say this, they were all stunned. They did not expect Gongsun Xing to agree so readily and were quite surprised. To be honest, the biggest reason why these elders were absent-minded today was that they did not want to live like this anymore.

Back when they were in the Gongsun family, they were just elders who had to handle many family affairs. Although they received many benefits, they still had to give everything for the Gongsun family because only in this way could they keep their positions and ensure that their descendants could receive more resources and go further.

But things are different now. Now they are in a sect, they have the most suitable cultivation techniques for themselves, and inexhaustible resources. They no longer want to live like before. They also want to live their own lives, but they are worried that Gongsun Xing will disagree, so they are still the same as before.

Hearing Gongsun Xing say this, they were quite surprised. They all looked at Gongsun Xing, who, seeing their expressions, continued, "I know you're all curious about why I said this. Actually, you know why I went to see the young master today—it was for the coordinates of Weicheng. Afterwards, Elder Bai asked about the family's situation. I didn't realize it at the time, but just now, it suddenly dawned on me. What Elder Bai said to me was that he wanted us to disband our families and stop us from sticking together. So, our families no longer need to stick together like we do now. If we continue like this, it might displease the young master. That's why I said what I did. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing his words, everyone understood why his attitude had changed. Gongsun Xing looked at them and continued, "Now that we are in a sect, we can no longer live the way we did before. Clans are important, but the reason we established clans is to enable our disciples to live better and go further. However, if a clan becomes a shackle that restricts the development of its disciples, then the clan has no reason to exist. As I just said, no matter where they go, they will all be surnamed Gongsun. There is no need for them to stick together like they are now."

Everyone nodded, and an elder spoke up: "These past few days I've learned about the sect's situation. There really isn't a force like this that sticks together within the sect. The sect doesn't allow it because it doesn't want to end up with individual forces fighting each other. The sect wants a great integration. I've been wanting to talk to you about this with the patriarch these past few days. I'm afraid our family's current situation will cause dissatisfaction within the sect. Now that the patriarch has said so, it's simple. Patriarch, I think we should just tell the family members directly that they can go wherever they want and do whatever they want. Although it's not explicitly stated, it's effectively dissolving the family, and the sect won't blame us anymore."

Gongsun Xing nodded and said, "Alright, let's do it this way. Let's handle this matter as soon as possible, and make sure the sect doesn't come after us. Otherwise, we'll lose face." Everyone agreed and then turned to leave.

Watching them leave, Gongsun Xing couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He was actually a little disappointed. He used to be the head of the Gongsun family. In the Divine Kingdom, he was second only to the emperor, but now in the Blood Slaughter Sect, he was just an ordinary elder. Moreover, his family had to be disbanded, and he had lost his power. So he was a little disappointed.

However, he also knew that things were already set in stone and he couldn't change them. In fact, to be honest, he didn't want to change them. Why should he change them? Things were actually quite good as they were. He had long since stopped wanting to be the head of the family. You see, he used to be a genius. If he hadn't been dealing with family matters and had instead focused all his energy on cultivation, his strength would definitely be much greater than it is now.

However, he was raised by his family, so he had to consider their interests. If he only cared about himself, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today. His family nurtured him, but also trapped him. Those who benefit from their families will ultimately be controlled by them—this is the fate of these aristocratic families. But now, things are different. The shackles on their bodies have been broken. They no longer need to consider their families because the sect has erased everything he did before. So now he doesn't have to worry about things like before, and he can finally do what he wants.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long breath. He suddenly felt incredibly relaxed all over, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. This feeling was wonderful. What made him even happier was that his cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, had become active again, as if it had become even stronger.

This startled him, and he shook his head with a wry smile. He then murmured, "I never imagined that my strength would stagnate because of my state of mind. I never expected this."

On the other hand, Xu Ying and his group once again took action and wiped out a small family that had attacked them before. This incident once again attracted the attention of those aristocratic families and sects. Naturally, the aristocratic families instructed all the smaller families to strengthen their defenses, especially those smaller families that had initially attacked the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, telling them to be careful.

Meanwhile, the sect members were also paying attention to this matter. Finally, after Xu Ying and his group wiped out another small family, Qingxuan sent letters to the sect leaders of various sects, asking them to come to their Tianxuan Sect for a meeting.

After all the sect leaders arrived at the Tianxuan Sect, Qingxuan glanced at everyone and then said, "The reason I invited you all here today is to talk about the Wanfa Divine Sect's attack on those aristocratic families. What are your thoughts on this matter?"

The sect leaders exchanged glances, their expressions grave. Then one of them spoke up: "The Myriad Laws Divine Sect attacked the very families that initially attacked them and instigated the conflict. Does that mean they won't attack us now?"

"We can't think like that. We can't place our hopes on others. Back then, it was we who joined forces with the aristocratic families to destroy all the temples of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. You could say we've already made a blood feud with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect hasn't attacked the aristocratic families that attacked them later, but what if they do? Besides, the aristocratic families are aristocratic families, and we are us. Now the royal family has reconciled with the aristocratic families, while the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is very close to the royal family. In the future, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect might not attack those aristocratic families because of the royal family's reputation, but our relationship with the royal family is much more distant. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect won't let us go just because of the royal family's reputation. So they will definitely attack us in the future. Even if it's for revenge or to establish their authority, they have to attack us. So we don't need to have any illusions. Let's prepare to fight them."

Everyone fell silent. Although the sect leader's words were unpleasant, they made a lot of sense. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect indeed had no reason to let them go. The reason why the Myriad Laws Divine Sect had not yet attacked the aristocratic families that attacked them later was probably because of the royal family's face. But these sects had no face with the royal family. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect would definitely deal with them. They really should make preparations as soon as possible.

Qingxuan glanced at everyone, then said in a deep voice, "That's right. We should prepare to fight the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. I think it would be better if we struck first. What do you all think?"

His words made everyone's eyes light up. Strike first, that was indeed a good idea. But then everyone frowned. They wanted to strike first, but where to start was a problem.
