Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16312 Doubt

Zhao Hai looked at Su Feng and then smiled slightly, saying, "You're not actually a member of the Myriad Beasts Sect yet. Although Qin Wuyou agreed to let you join, the others in the sect don't know this, so you're not officially a member. I've already had the sect leader of the Myriad Beasts Sect tell the Ironclad Sect that someone stole their communication array. So even if you send a message to the Ironclad Sect, they won't believe you. Besides, after this incident, the Ironclad Sect might even hunt you down. So, you have to join us. That way, you can join the Myriad Beasts Sect, and they can say that the person who stole the array has been killed, and you'll be out of the picture. What do you say? Do you want to join us?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Su Feng's expression changed. He looked at Zhao Hai and then said, "Have the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect really surrendered to you? I want to see Qin Wuyou. As long as I see Qin Wuyou, I will surrender."

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "That's easy." After saying that, Zhao Hai waved his hand, and the next moment a black hole appeared in front of him. Then Zhao Hai said, "Qin Wuyou, come here for a moment."

Qin Wuyou and the others were sitting in that room, waiting for Zhao Hai, when suddenly a spatial passage appeared in the room, followed by Zhao Hai's voice: "Qin Wuyou, come here for a moment."

Qin Wuyou was taken aback, then immediately responded and entered the spatial passage. When he came out of the spatial passage, he saw Su Feng.

Upon seeing Su Feng, Qin Wuyou gave a wry smile and said, "Old Su, we meet again."

As soon as Su Feng saw Qin Wuyou, he looked him over carefully before asking, "Are you alright?"

Qin Wuyou gave a wry smile and said, "It's hard to say what my situation is right now. You can't say I'm fine, but you can't say I'm in trouble either. I can't explain my situation clearly right now. You'll only understand what's going on once you truly join us. Alright, Lao Su, join us. Your strength is no match for the young master. Even with so many of us, we're no match for the young master, let alone you."

Looking at Qin Wuyou, Su Feng really doubted that the Qin Wuyou in the present was a fake, but reality told him that none of this was fake, it was all real.

Looking at Su Feng, Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I've given you enough time. If you don't surrender, I'll have to do it myself. It's really no different, it'll just make you feel a little better. So, do you want to surrender?"

Su Feng looked at Qin Wuyou, who immediately gave him a wink. Su Feng glanced at Qin Wuyou, then at the rat, and finally at Zhao Hai before saying, "I surrender."

Zhao Hai nodded, and then with a flick of his hand, a rune landed directly on Su Feng's body. The rune that had subdued the rat also merged into the rat's body. Su Feng was stunned for a while before he came to his senses.

When he came to his senses, he realized what had happened. He turned to look at Zhao Hai, who was also looking at him. Then Su Feng bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Greetings, Young Master."

Zhao Hai nodded, then said, "Let's go back." With that, he waved his hand, and the three of them were back in the room of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

The people in that room, upon seeing Zhao Hai, all bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Sect Master."

Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. I'll leave the affairs of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to you. You can go back to the sect in batches, learn about the sect properly, and study hard there. I won't worry about things here. Oh, and here's some for you. You can use this when you go to the sect."

After speaking, Zhao Hai waved his hand, and each of them suddenly had a teleportation array in their hand. The array was only the size of a palm. Zhao Hai said, "Activate the teleportation array, and you can return to the sect. But remember, return in batches. It's not that you can't return together, but we're worried someone might discover you, so it's best if you return in batches. The disciples below should also return in batches." Everyone responded, and Zhao Hai nodded before disappearing.

After Zhao Hai disappeared, Qin Wuyou and the others exchanged glances, then Qin Wuyou said, "Let's talk about how to arrange the order of returning to the sect. The sect leader's meaning is very clear: we can't let anyone discover anything unusual here. Does everyone understand?" Everyone nodded, and Qin Wuyou said, "Then let's begin."

Meanwhile, in a study within the Ironclad Sect, several people sat dressed in black robes that shimmered with a metallic sheen. These robes were the sect's signature magical artifact, the Ironclad Armor. Forged from black iron, every Ironclad Sect disciple donned such an armor from the very first day of their training. This armor not only protected them but also aided in attacks, serving as their natal magical artifact. Initially, their Ironclad Armor weighed only twenty jin (approximately 10 kg), but as their strength increased, they had to reforge black iron into the armor, causing its weight to increase exponentially, not gradually.

For example, when the disciples of the Ironclad Sect first started cultivating, they wore iron armor weighing twenty jin (approximately 10 kg). When their strength reached the Shi level, they wore iron armor weighing forty jin (approximately 20 kg). When they reached the Wangzuo level, their iron armor weighed eighty jin (approximately 40 kg). At the Yuyu level, it weighed one hundred and sixty jin (approximately 30 kg). The stronger their strength, the heavier their iron armor became.

Of course, such weight is nothing to cultivators, but the weight here refers only to the weight of the iron armor itself. The restrictions on the iron armor are not taken into account. Under normal circumstances, the iron armor worn by disciples of the Iron Armor Sect is equipped with gravity arrays to help them cultivate. Therefore, the disciples of the Iron Armor Sect are essentially living and cultivating in a gravity environment, which makes them much stronger than ordinary people.

None of the disciples of the Ironclad Sect are fat; all of them are very thin. However, their strength is enormous, far greater than that of ordinary cultivators. Moreover, their iron armor is both offensive and defensive, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

The sect leader of the Ironclad Sect was named Tie Huanshan. He was very tall and thin, with a head of neatly styled black hair. His face was long but serious, and he exuded an imposing aura as he sat there.

Tie Huanshan glanced at the elders sitting below and then said, "You all know what happened at the Myriad Beasts Sect. It's a bit strange. The Myriad Beasts Sect said that an elder who was acquainted with one of their Kingdom-level experts invited him for drinks and, while the expert was drunk, stole the communication array from him. But that's just something that can only fool children; I don't believe it at all. However, I'm very curious about what exactly happened at the Myriad Beasts Sect, so I plan to send someone there to investigate. Is any of you willing to go to the Myriad Beasts Sect?"

Tie Huanshan stated his thoughts directly, which surprised all the elders. Then one of the elders stood up and said, "Sect Master, I'll go."

Tie Huanshan glanced at the elder, who was the head of the External Affairs Hall of their Ironclad Sect. Under normal circumstances, he was the one who handled all the missions that the Ironclad Sect had to send out.

Tie Huanshan nodded and said, "Okay, take a few disciples with you. Remember, observe carefully and see if there's anything wrong with the Myriad Beasts Sect."

The elder responded and sat down. Tie Huanshan continued, "The letter we received was very strange. It said that countless experts and armies suddenly appeared at the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. They didn't go there through a teleportation array; they just appeared out of nowhere. This is very strange. If they were really lying to us, they should have told a more plausible lie. There was no need for such an obviously deceptive lie. The more they told it, the more I felt that something must have happened at the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect."

Everyone nodded, and one of the elders said, "If we go directly to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, we might not find out anything. I think we should try to find out what happened there from the outside."

Tie Huanshan was taken aback, then asked, "Oh? How do I do it?"

The elder said, "It's simple. I think we can send some people to the Myriad Beasts Sect, preferably rogue cultivators, and then inquire about the situation from them to see if we can find out any information."

Upon hearing this, Tie Huanshan frowned and then said, "Asking for information from rogue cultivators? I'm afraid we won't get any information from that."

"Not necessarily. Sometimes, those rogue cultivators might actually know things that we don't. Even here in our Ironclad Sect, it's the same. You never know where those rogue cultivators hear those things, but sometimes they do hear things that only our sect disciples or elders would know. So if we really send someone to those rogue cultivators to inquire about information, we might actually find out something different," an elder said.

The other elders all nodded in agreement. They all agreed that what the elder said made sense. Indeed, sometimes those rogue cultivators would know information that only they, the higher-ups, would know. They didn't know where the rogue cultivators got that information from.

After listening to the elder's words, Tie Huanshan nodded and said, "Alright, then send some rogue cultivators over. Note that we should send genuine rogue cultivators. We can recruit some rogue cultivators and tell them that if they really find out any useful information, we can immediately recruit them into the sect and make them official disciples of our Ironclad Sect when they return."
