Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16399 Establishing the Clan
"Elder Meng, you're really not being fair. With such a great place as the Blood Slaughter Sect, why did you only let us join now?" A rogue cultivator looked at Elder Meng with some dissatisfaction. He had already become a member of the Blood Slaughter Sect, and he had even entered the sect and received its benefits.

It was precisely because they entered the Blood Slaughter Sect that they realized how powerful the Blood Slaughter Sect was, and it was for this reason that they felt Elder Meng should have let them join the Blood Slaughter Sect sooner.

Elder Meng glanced at them and then said, "If I had told you before that the Blood Slaughter Sect was like this, would you have believed me?"

Upon hearing his words, the group was taken aback. They exchanged glances and then shook their heads. Elder Meng was right. If Elder Meng had told them that the Blood Slaughter Sect was like this before, they would never have believed it, because the conditions offered by the Blood Slaughter Sect were simply too good.

Looking at their expressions, Elder Meng smiled slightly and said, "Alright, it's time for us to go out. Everyone who came to the sect's territory with us this time will become members of the sect, and they will all go back. After they return, we can start to establish our own sect. According to the sect's plan, we will establish our own sect and then join the sect alliance. Once we join the sect alliance, the sect will have a foothold in it, making it much easier to deal with the sect alliance in the future."

Everyone responded, and then they all came out of the Blood Slaughter Sect. When they got outside, they found that they were still in the village, and the villagers had reappeared. Old Meng looked at the villagers, and the villagers looked at Old Meng. Then the villagers nodded to Old Meng and the others. Old Meng didn't say anything more. He understood what they meant, so he simply moved his hand, and the next moment a small wooden boat appeared in front of him.

The small wooden boat was very small, only the size of a palm, but Old Meng threw it out directly. The next moment, the small wooden boat expanded in the wind and in the blink of an eye, it had become a large boat about ten feet long. However, the boat looked very simple, without any gorgeous decorations. It was obviously the most ordinary kind of vehicle.

Old Meng immediately had the villagers board the boat. The cabin was quite spacious, enough to accommodate all the villagers. There were more than 300 people in the village, and they were all put on the big boat.

After everyone boarded the small boat, Elder Meng and his group immediately got on board and flew directly towards the Thousand Lotus Mountain defense line. They quickly returned to Poplar City and immediately went to turn in their missions. This time, all the missions they turned in were recorded under Elder Meng's name, which was allowed, so no one objected.

Soon all the rogue cultivators returned. Only half of them, or 50,000, did not return. Each of these 50,000 brought back one person, and all of them remembered Elder Meng's name. In this way, Elder Meng already had more than 50,000 military merits.

Elder Meng also asked those people, and they had indeed become disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect. As for the half who did not return, they naturally stayed in the sect. It would be strange if they suffered no losses at all. Therefore, the loss of the half was deliberately arranged by the Blood Slaughter Sect.

The next day, Elder Meng and his men went out again to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect once more. This time they suffered some losses, but not too great. Moreover, some rogue cultivators even managed to capture two people at once. After two such attacks, Elder Meng had already earned 100,000 military merits.

General Li immediately reported the matter to Gongliang Juewen. Gongliang Juewen didn't say much and directly allocated a permanent fiefdom to Elder Meng and the others. This permanent fiefdom was located between the first and second lines of defense. The specific location was chosen by Elder Meng. Elder Meng chose a small mountain with spiritual veins as his fiefdom. Although the mountain was not very high, it was very dangerous and indeed suitable for building a small sect.

Subsequently, Elder Meng and his group established a small sect, which they decided to name the Eight Tigers Sect. This was because the eight kingdom-level experts who initially founded the sect were the founders, hence the name.

After the sect was established, Elder Meng arranged for four kingdom-level experts to lead 20,000 rogue cultivators to establish the sect on the small mountain they now renamed Eight Tigers Mountain. He, however, led the remaining three kingdom-level experts and the remaining 20,000-plus members of the Eight Tigers Sect to continue missions at the front lines. Elder Meng and his group not only continued their kidnapping missions but also recruited new members to strengthen the Eight Tigers Sect. Their actions quickly became legendary at the front lines.

The people on the front lines are really at a disadvantage. Whether it's the people from the major sects or the great families, they have been cautious and have not launched a large-scale attack on the Blood Slaughter Sect. Even the Heavenly Profound Sect is the same. Although they have assigned tasks to the rogue cultivators under their jurisdiction, they have also controlled those rogue cultivators and have not launched a large-scale attack on the Blood Slaughter Sect.

At present, Tianxuan Sect has only accumulated tens of thousands of military merits, which is not enough to exchange for fiefdoms. However, the success of Elder Meng and his group has made all the major families and sects anxious. They really did not expect that Gongliang Juewen would actually give them the merits, which surprised them greatly. Some families and sects only realized now that this could be done. They could have those rogue cultivators kidnap people and then credit the military merits to them. They would directly give those rogue cultivators supplies. In this way, although they provided the supplies, they also gained the military merits. Do those families and sects lack supplies? Obviously not. What they lack is fiefdoms. After discovering that they could have rogue cultivators help them earn military merits, all the families and sects became excited. They immediately began to intensify their attacks on Xue Sha Sect. They all wanted to obtain fiefdoms as soon as possible.

Their actions inflated the value of military merit, making it suddenly much more valuable. This created a situation where, although the Divine Kingdom had set a price for military merit, the prices offered by various aristocratic families and sects were higher than those offered by the Divine Kingdom. Furthermore, after the rogue cultivators captured the people from the Blood Slaughter Sect, they directly registered them under the names of those aristocratic families and sects. When these rogue cultivators went to those families or sects to collect supplies, the Divine Kingdom was unable to distribute its own supplies because all the military merit was being hoarded and used to exchange for fiefdoms.

The Tianxuan Sect was the second to receive a fiefdom. They had already accumulated tens of thousands of military merits. When they saw that Elder Meng and his group had succeeded, they became anxious and immediately intensified their attacks on the Blood Slaughter Sect. In just two days, they had accumulated 100,000 military merits and immediately changed their fiefdom. This time, the fiefdom they changed to was the headquarters of the Tianxuan Sect.

The main hall of the Tianxuan Sect had actually been purchased by the sect long ago. However, the area they initially bought wasn't very large. The main hall of the Tianxuan Sect was much larger than the area they had originally purchased. But because they had occupied that area, no one dared to buy land there anymore. The royal family also couldn't take back the land that the Tianxuan Sect had used but hadn't bought. So, the area remained in the hands of the Tianxuan Sect. However, the Tianxuan Sect still had to pay taxes to the Divine Kingdom every year, regardless of whether it was land they had bought or land they had occupied. Although the amount wasn't much each year, it wasn't small either. That's why the Tianxuan Sect wanted the thousand acres of land near their main hall that they had occupied as their permanent fiefdom. It's worth noting that permanent fiefdoms are tax-free.

Subsequently, other sects also received their fiefdoms one after another. Meanwhile, Elder Meng and his group were not idle during this time. They recruited many disciples, and these disciples did missions together. Soon, they obtained another 100,000 military merits, and they asked for another fiefdom. This fiefdom was next to Eight Tiger Mountain and was connected to the previous 1,000 mu of fiefdom.

Besides carrying out missions, Elder Meng and his group did something else: they joined the Sect Alliance. The process of Elder Meng and his group establishing the Eight Tigers Sect was so legendary that it naturally attracted a lot of attention. The people in the Sect Alliance did not suspect them, so they joined the alliance smoothly. Although they are not yet a major sect and cannot participate in high-level meetings, they are now members of the Sect Alliance.

Although all the major families and sects have acquired fiefdoms during this period, some even acquiring more than one, their losses have been substantial. Each attack on the Blood Slaughter Sect resulted in approximately 50% casualties, meaning they lost nearly half their population in every operation. However, this was insignificant to the major sects and families, as the losses of rogue cultivators were of little concern to them.

Surprisingly, although many rogue cultivators suffered heavy losses, some actually grew stronger during the battles. Some even reached the Kingdom level, and these rogue cultivators had not yet joined the Creation God Cult, which was astonishing.

Soon, those rogue cultivators who had just reached the Kingdom level became the targets of recruitment by various sects. The choice of those Kingdom-level rogue cultivators surprised everyone. They actually chose to join the Eight Tigers Sect and become members of the sect. As a result, the Eight Tigers Sect lost strength once again. Now the Eight Tigers Sect has more than a dozen Kingdom-level experts, which is indeed very unexpected.

However, those from major sects and powerful families understood why those independent cultivators wanted to join the Eight Tigers Sect. The Eight Tigers Sect was a new sect, established by independent cultivators, which was like a blank slate. By joining such a sect, they could obtain the initial benefits, making it the best choice for them.
