Bringing the farm to another world

Reality can be absurd at times. These people dared to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect because the sect could resurrect them. But when they learned that the sect wouldn't resurrect them, they stopped fighting. Their confidence actually came from their opponent.

Looking at their expressions, Qingxuan spoke directly: "Now you all know what happened. No one wants to die, but if we don't surrender this time, we really will die. So I hope everyone makes a rational choice. If at this point you still think we shouldn't surrender, then there's nothing more to say, we'll just fight the Blood Slaughter Sect to the death. If you all agree to surrender, then our next step is to persuade the disciples below, tell them that we surrender. As long as they all agree, then we can surrender directly, and everyone can join the Blood Slaughter Sect safely."

Upon hearing his words, the crowd exchanged glances, and then an elder spoke up: "Since the sect leader has already said so much, there's no need for us to pretend anymore. None of us want to die, so I surrender."

Upon hearing his words, everyone else nodded. Then another elder spoke up, "I also agree to surrender." Everyone else agreed as well. Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they all agreed. It was good that they all agreed; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to explain himself to the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Qingxuan glanced at everyone and then said, "It's good that everyone agrees. Now let's move on to the second step and tell the disciples about this. My idea is to arrange it layer by layer. After you go back, tell your respective families about this, then tell the elders in charge, and finally have the elders in charge tell the disciples. How about that? No problem?"

The Heavenly Profound Sect has been established for many years. Although most of the people in their sect are Taoists, they do not prohibit marriage. Because of this, they all have their own families, and these families are all large families in the sect. As long as these large families agree to join the Blood Slaughter Sect, then this matter will be easy to handle. The ordinary disciples below actually have no choice.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that there was no problem. Qingxuan then let them leave. Everyone stood up, bowed to Qingxuan, and then turned and left. After they left, Qingxuan returned to his room. He had many things to arrange, and the surrender had to be done as soon as possible.

In fact, it wasn't just Tianxuan Sect; other sects and aristocratic families were in the same situation. After they returned, they all discussed this matter with the powerful elders in their families. They had to get these people's consent first, and then they would talk to them layer by layer. Going down from top to bottom was much less effort than going up from bottom to top.

What Qingxuan and the others didn't know was that there were actually people from the Blood Slaughter Sect in all their sects and families. These people were not of low status. They had long received orders from the Blood Slaughter Sect to monitor each sect and family to see if they were truly willing to surrender. After seeing the situation of each sect and family, they understood that the sects and families were indeed willing to surrender. They also reported this matter to the Blood Slaughter Sect.

After receiving the news, Chang Jun and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. Then Chang Jun called everyone together, and they arrived quickly. Of course, this included Gongliang Juewen. Gongliang Juewen's status in the Blood Slaughter Sect was actually not low. He was Wen Wenhai's disciple, so Chang Jun and the others naturally felt close to him.

After everyone had arrived, Chang Jun smiled and said, "Alright, the matter here in the Divine Kingdom is basically settled now. All those sects and families are going to surrender, which is definitely a good thing for us. However, what we should do next after they have all surrendered is indeed a problem. Does anyone have anything to say?"

Bai Yan and the others exchanged glances, and then Bai Yan said, "No matter what, we must take over the Divine Kingdom Continent. Just taking over this continent will take some time, and we can use this time to let the people of the Divine Kingdom understand the sect. There is also something else we must do."

He paused here, then glanced at the others before continuing, "We must unify the sect's thinking."

Chang Jun and the others were all taken aback when they heard him say this. Then they all looked at Bai Yan with some confusion. Bai Yan looked at everyone and then said, "I don't know if you've noticed, but since the number of people in the sect has increased, many families within the sect have become more and more united. They seem to be slowly forming factions. Although these family forces are unlikely to threaten the sect, it's not a good thing in the long run. Although the sect is never short of resources, it hopes to have a fair environment for everyone to cultivate. That's why exchanging for some of the sect's good items isn't easy." Previously, everyone acted independently. To obtain better items, they would diligently complete tasks, which was fair. However, now that those families have established their power, they concentrate their family's resources to cultivate one or two individuals, exchanging them for the sect's best cultivation techniques or resources. The sects aren't strict in this regard, meaning that the cultivation techniques obtained through the combined efforts of their families can be passed on to other members of the family. This could lead to a rapid increase in their family's strength, which is extremely unfair to others. In fact, preventing them from doing so is also unfair to these families, so this matter is quite difficult to handle.

Upon hearing this, Chang Jun and the others' expressions changed drastically. They disliked members of the sect forming cliques. Although they had their own forces, these forces were determined by the number of disciples they recruited. They only taught their disciples techniques and guided their cultivation, offering no additional assistance. They understood perfectly well that if people like them formed their own factions, they would gradually develop selfish motives. Once these motives took hold, numerous factions, large and small, would emerge within the Blood Slaughter Sect, potentially leading to various conflicts—something they desperately wanted to avoid. They had always hoped for the Blood Slaughter Sect to be in its ideal state: free of internal cliques, where everyone considered themselves part of the sect, not a small group. The Blood Slaughter Sect was far too large; too many small groups would inevitably cause problems. Their biggest concern wasn't the formation of cliques within the sect, but rather that Zhao Hai would be disappointed in them.

Zhao Hai doesn't object to small groups within the sect, but he hopes that even if there are small groups, the sect will remain united. However, if there are too many small groups within the sect, even if they can unite now, it's hard to say what will happen in the future. If a conflict really breaks out within the sect, the consequences will be troublesome. If Zhao Hai becomes disappointed in the sect because of this and stops caring about them, that would be the biggest disaster for the sect.

That's why they were so nervous when Bai Yan said that there were already small cliques in the sect. They were really worried that there would be more and more small cliques in the sect, and if there were, it would be a real problem.

Upon thinking of this, Chang Jun immediately said, "This matter must be told to Lao Wen, and I even think it is necessary to let the young master know."

Everyone nodded, when suddenly a voice said, "We already knew." Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was Zhao Hai, and Wen Wenhai was standing next to Zhao Hai.

Upon seeing Zhao Hai and Wen Wenhai arrive, they all immediately stood up and bowed to the two men. Zhao Hai nodded and then said, "No need to be so polite, please sit down." Everyone responded and then sat down.

After they were all seated, Zhao Hai spoke up: "I already knew about the family matters within the sect that you mentioned. Wen Hai also discovered them a long time ago and reported them to me. I didn't ask him to get involved."

Although Chang Jun and the others didn't know why Zhao Hai did this, they didn't ask any further questions. They believed that Zhao Hai must have his reasons for doing so.

Zhao Hai glanced at everyone and then said, "You have all been with me for so many years and are the people I trust the most. You are also the people who would never betray me, so I have absolute confidence in you. But those newcomers, even if they are from the undead race, I cannot completely trust them. Human selfishness is endless. Maybe one day their selfishness can overcome their loyalty to me. Who knows?"

Chang Jun and the others looked extremely grim. Of course, they would never betray Zhao Hai, but if someone's selfish motives could overcome their loyalty to Zhao Hai, that was something they absolutely could not accept.

Looking at their expressions, Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "So, the families in the sect now are actually a kind of selection mechanism. If they won't betray me, I can allow their small families to exist and allow them to have some selfishness. But if they dare to betray me, I will abandon them directly. However, I will spare their lives, but I will expel them from the sect. After that, they can only fend for themselves."

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Chang Jun and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Chang Jun looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, if we really do that, then all our efforts over this period of time will have been in vain. We've recruited so many people into the sect, and if they betray us, and we have to expel them, then all our efforts over this period of time will have been for nothing."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "How could it be a wasted effort? Actually, I think those people won't betray me. If they don't betray me, isn't that even better? If they really do betray me, then we can just expel them. Besides, the more people we bring into our sect, the less we'll care about losing them, right?" (End of Chapter)
