Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16397 Surrender
General Li looked at Elder Meng, and suddenly an idea struck him. He then said to Elder Meng, "Elder Meng, there is actually another way that can make it easier for you to complete this task."

When Old Meng heard General Li say this, he was taken aback. Then, he looked at General Li with some confusion and asked, "What method?"

General Li smiled slightly and said, "Join us."

Old Meng was taken aback, then he frowned and looked at General Li and said, "I'm sorry, General Li, I actually don't want to join the military..." Before he could finish speaking, General Li waved his hand to stop him.

Old Meng looked at General Li with some confusion. General Li looked at Old Meng and then smiled slightly, saying, "I'm not talking about the military, but the Blood Slaughter Sect."

Old Meng was taken aback, then looked at General Li with some confusion, thinking that General Li had made a mistake. General Li looked at him and then smiled slightly and said, "Do you think I made a mistake? Actually, I didn't make a mistake. I'm talking about the Blood Slaughter Sect. Haven't you heard of it? It's the Blood Slaughter Sect that you know is currently fighting against us."

Old Master Meng's expression changed immediately. He looked at General Li and then said in a deep voice, "What exactly is going on? Could it be that this is a scheme you conspired with the royal family to target those sects and aristocratic families?"

Over the years, Elder Meng has encountered all sorts of things. That's why, when he heard General Li's words, his first thought was not that the Blood Slaughter Sect had taken control of General Li, but rather that this might be a scheme set up by the royal family, the military, and the Blood Slaughter Sect to deal with aristocratic families and sects.

Upon hearing what Elder Meng said, General Li smiled slightly and said, "Elder Meng, you are mistaken. This is not a scheme we set up with the royal family. In fact, we and the royal family have all joined the Blood Slaughter Sect. We are actually dealing with sects and aristocratic families now."

Old Meng looked at General Li and said in a deep voice, "General Li, are you serious?"

General Li nodded and said, "Of course it's serious, it couldn't be more real."

Old Meng looked at General Li and said, "I think I need an explanation."

General Li looked at Elder Meng and said, "Elder Meng, this matter cannot be explained in just a few words, but if you join us, you will know everything."

Old Meng stared intently at General Li, then said in a deep voice, "So you mean if I don't join you, I can't leave today, is that right?"

General Li smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it seems you understand what I mean. If you don't join us today, you won't be able to leave."

Old Meng looked at General Li and suddenly asked, "What would happen if I joined you?"

General Li said, “It’s very simple. We will arrange for people to be kidnapped by you so that you can complete the mission in the shortest time. Then we will give you land and let you establish your sect. This way you can join the sect alliance. Once you join the sect alliance, it will be like we have planted a thorn in the side of the alliance. It will be much easier for us to deal with the sect alliance in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Old Meng was taken aback. Then, looking at General Li, he asked, "Is it really that simple?"

General Li smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it's that simple."

Old Meng looked at General Li and said, "Then how can you guarantee that I won't betray you?"

General Li smiled slightly and said, "We naturally have our own methods to ensure that you will not betray us. In fact, once you join the sect, even if I allow you to betray the sect, you will not do it. No one in this world can refuse to join the Blood Slaughter Sect, including His Majesty."

Old Meng stared blankly at General Li, not expecting him to utter such arrogant words. General Li, seeing his expression, smiled slightly and said, "You don't believe me? Well then, if you agree to join us, I'll tell you why you won't betray the sect."

Looking at General Li, Elder Meng suddenly spoke up, "I'm curious, what if I really disagree? Are you so confident that you can keep me here?" General Li looked at Elder Meng and couldn't help but smile slightly, "I know Elder Meng, your strength is not bad, but you may not know what you are facing. The General Li you are facing is not the General Li of the past, but the General Li of the Blood Slaughter Sect."

After General Li finished speaking, Elder Meng felt a flash of light around him, and then he found himself enveloped by a protective shield. He recognized this shield; it was the same deformable shield of the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Elder Meng looked at General Li in surprise. General Li smiled slightly and said, "These are just some of the simplest methods of the sect. If you don't agree to join us, you will definitely not be able to leave. Of course, even if you die, you will still join us."

Old Meng looked at General Li, but he didn't ask how General Li could join the Blood Slaughter Sect after his death. He was a rogue cultivator who had seen all sorts of methods, including a demonic cultivator who could turn people into puppets. If the puppets were made well, they could be made to look just like real people. So Old Meng didn't ask such a question.

General Li looked at Elder Meng and smiled slightly, saying, "Elder Meng, you can decide now whether you want to join us or not."

Old Meng took a deep breath and then said, "I'll join." He was a rogue cultivator, so loyalty was not a concept for him. He only needed to be loyal to himself, so he had no psychological burden about joining the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Upon hearing Elder Meng's words, General Li smiled slightly and said, "That's good. I'm going to place a restriction on you; just don't resist." Elder Meng nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a rune landed directly on Elder Meng's body. Elder Meng's body stiffened, and it took him a while to recover. He then let out a long breath, looked at General Li, and said in a deep voice, "I know what to do; please rest assured."

General Li nodded, then with a flick of his hand, a magic array appeared in his hand. He gave the array to Elder Meng and said, "Take this array. When no one is disturbing you, you can enter the sect and claim all the sect's benefits."

Elder Meng responded and accepted the magic array. General Li waved his hand and said, "Alright, go back now. When you get back, tell them what I said. The supplies can be given to you, and I agree with your approach. The sect will help you complete the mission as soon as possible so that your sect can be established."

Old Meng responded, then stood up, saluted General Li, and turned to leave. After he left, General Li breathed a sigh of relief. Turning Old Meng into one of their own was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and fortunately, it worked.

Elder Meng quickly returned to his room, and then immediately sent letters to the other kingdom-level rogue cultivators, asking them to come to his room for a meeting. Afterwards, he sat quietly in his room, digesting everything he had learned about the Blood Slaughter Sect. He knew that he was now a member of the undead race, and that he was a member of the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Soon after, the others arrived at Old Meng's room. Once they were there, Old Meng looked at them and said, "I just asked General Li, and he agreed to exchange supplies for us. He also agreed to our approach. In other words, we can openly find other people to help us complete this task and thus obtain fiefdoms. What's the situation on your end?"

The others were all very happy to hear what Elder Meng said. Then one of them spoke up: "Our progress here is also going very smoothly. Many people are willing to join us. Now, the number of people who have expressed their willingness to join us has exceeded ten thousand. But now there is a problem. If too many people join us, will we be able to support them? After all, a thousand acres of fiefdom is really not a large area."

After hearing his words, Elder Meng immediately said, "No problem. Small sects usually have hundreds of thousands of disciples. We don't need too many people this time, just 100,000 will do. We will only accept 100,000 people and stop when we have enough."

Upon hearing Elder Meng's words, the group exchanged surprised glances. They had originally thought that with their resources, being able to recruit 10,000 disciples and establish their sect would be the best possible outcome. However, Elder Meng had unexpectedly increased that number tenfold, which greatly astonished them. At the same time, they were also worried that if they really recruited 100,000 disciples but couldn't afford to support them, they would become the biggest laughing stock in the Divine Kingdom.

Looking at their expressions, Elder Meng knew what they were thinking. In the past, he certainly wouldn't have been able to recruit 100,000 people into his sect at once, but now he was truly not worried at all. With General Li and the Blood Slaughter Sect supporting him, what did he have to worry about? They could definitely support 100,000 people. Thinking of this, he immediately said to everyone, "Don't worry, everyone. You don't need to worry about supplies. I'll figure something out. There's absolutely no problem with 100,000 people."

When the others heard him say that, they knew that he must have a way to get more supplies. They exchanged glances and said nothing more, since all Old Meng wanted was to get the supplies.

At this moment, a rogue cultivator spoke up: "Then we'll trouble Elder Meng with the matter of exchanging supplies. We'll go find other rogue cultivators now and persuade them to join us." As he spoke, he moved his hand, and several more items appeared in his hand. These items were all high-quality materials that he had saved up. He didn't need them, but such good things were truly rare and hard to come by, so he had kept them all. However, the current situation was special, so he took these things out.

The rogue cultivator handed the items to Elder Meng and then said, "Elder Meng, I don't have many good things on me. Please keep these and use them to exchange for more supplies."

Old Meng didn't stand on ceremony. He nodded and said, "Alright, don't worry." The man nodded, handed the items to Old Meng, and sat down again. Seeing this, the others followed suit, and they all took out some good things to give to Old Meng. Of course, none of the things they took out were the best they had. They were reluctant to give up their best items to exchange for ordinary supplies. They knew that good things were truly hard to come by, and if they took them out today, they might not be able to find them again later. So, none of the things they took out were the best.
