Bringing the farm to another world

"Are you really going to disband your sect like this?" another sect member asked. His words silenced many people. Of course, they were unwilling, but what could they do?

Wen Jing glanced at everyone and then said, "We are discussing the disbandment of the sect. I do want to disband the sect. We are still discussing it. However, there is one thing I need to make clear to you. If they all oppose disbanding the sect this time, then I am prepared to resign from my position as the sect leader of the Zhenyu Sect."

Wenjing felt that there was nothing wrong with talking about this. He was going to do it anyway, and there was no need to hide it. It wasn't anything shameful.

When the people from the other sects heard Wen Jing say this, they were all stunned. Whether they wanted him to disband his sect or not, none of them had ever been as resolute as Wen Jing. This was indeed beyond their expectations.

Wen Jing glanced at everyone and then said, "I'm just stating my decision. How you do it is up to you. The reason I'm telling you all this is to let you know that I've made this decision, so I won't offer any further opinions at this meeting."

Everyone was stunned by his words, and then they all fell silent. Zhenyu Sect was no small sect; it was a major sect that ranked highly. Wen Jing, as the sect leader of Zhenyu Sect, was so resolute, which was indeed beyond their expectations. Did he really have to disband the sect?
Tie Huanshan looked at Wen Jing and asked, "Are you really sure? Why?"

Wen Jing said in a deep voice, "It's decided. There's no reason why. The truth is quite simple. I don't think it's necessary to keep the Zhenyu Sect. If the people in our sect don't agree to disband it, then there will be a huge difference between my thoughts and theirs. If I were to manage the Zhenyu Sect again, I wouldn't be able to manage it well. Rather than that, it would be better to resign from this position as sect leader and let someone else take over."

Tie Huanshan looked at Wen Jing and said, "You really don't care at all?"

Wen Jing smiled and said, "What's there to care about? Just like Qingxuan said before, we need to know our place. Now we are all members of the Blood Slaughter Sect. Do you think it's appropriate to create another sect within a sect? If it's not appropriate, then why should we create one? Why do we do this just to oppose the sect? What good would that do us? Of course, this is just my own opinion. I don't care what you decide."

Tie Huanshan fell silent, as did the other sect leaders. They were all thinking about Wen Jing's words. They all agreed that Wen Jing was right, but many still felt extremely unwilling to abandon their sects.

After a long pause, Tie Huanshan finally spoke: "Everyone, I think we should go back and discuss this matter with our own sects before making a decision. However, I have a request for you all: no matter which sect it is, if you really decide to disband your sect, you must inform everyone else. I will do the same. If I really want to disband the Ironclad Sect, I will also inform you all. What do you say?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Seeing that everyone agreed, Tie Huanshan said, "Alright, it's decided then. Everyone, I'll log off now." After saying that, he logged off, and Wen Jing followed suit. The sect leaders of the other sects also logged off.

As soon as Wen Jing logged off, he heard a knock on the door. He immediately said, "Come in."

A member of the Wen family immediately entered from outside the door. He bowed to Wen Jing and said, "Patriarch, several elders and hall masters of the sect request an audience."

Wen Jing said, "Please invite them in." The Wen family member responded and then went to invite them. Soon, several elders and hall masters of the Zhenyu Sect arrived at Wen Jing's study.

After they sat down, an elder spoke up immediately: "Sect Master, you know that Qingxuan has become the Hall Master of the Tianxuan Branch. I wonder what the other sects' reactions are to this?"

Wen Jing said in a deep voice, "We just had a conference call. Everyone's reaction was quite ordinary, nothing special. Although they were talking about this matter, no conclusion was reached in the end. Everyone said they would go back and discuss it with the people in the sect. What are your thoughts now?" After he finished speaking, he looked at the elders and hall masters.

The group exchanged glances, then one of the elders spoke up, "Sect Master, we've decided to disband the sect." He let out a long breath and continued in a deep voice, "Sect Master, you're right. We are, after all, cultivators. Our previous desire for power, and the reason we said this, was largely driven by selfish motives—for cultivation resources. But now the sect has everything, and we truly have no need to cling to that power anymore. Moreover, as you said, if we continue to hold onto power, we might end up becoming enemies with the disciples. I don't want to become enemies with them, so disbanding the sect is the best choice." The others all nodded in agreement. Seeing their expressions, Wen Jing smiled slightly and said, "Good. With everyone's choice, I'm relieved. If you truly hadn't decided to disband the sect, I would have resigned as sect master. Now that you've all agreed to disband the sect, that's certainly the best outcome."

Upon hearing Wen Jing's words, they were all taken aback. Then, an elder spoke up: "Sect Master, do you want to resign from the position of Sect Master?"

Wen Jing smiled and said, "If you don't agree to disband the sect this time, I'm prepared to resign as sect leader. After all, I agree to disband the sect. If you don't agree, then we have different philosophies, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to continue as sect leader. So if you don't agree to disband the sect, I'll resign as sect leader. Now that you agree to disband the sect, the sect will cease to exist. What does it matter whether the sect leader position is disbanded or not?"

The group all nodded in agreement. Wen Jing looked at them and said, "If everyone agrees, then we'll send a letter to the sect's disciples and tell them about this. My idea is that we should follow the example of the Tianxuan Sect and hold a conference call so that we can announce this to the sect's disciples together. What do you all think?"

The group nodded in agreement. Wen Jing looked at them and then said, "Then why don't we tell the sect's disciples about this tonight?"

Everyone responded. Wen Jing glanced at them, then smiled slightly and said, "Then let's not leave. Let's wait here until tonight. It's a good opportunity for us to get together. After all, this is a rare chance for us. Although we won't live too far apart in the future, we won't be able to get together as often."

One of the elders laughed and said, "I don't think so. We'll actually get together more often in the future. After all, we won't have much to do anymore. We'll all be just ordinary elders in the sect. Won't we have more time to get together then?" Everyone else burst into laughter.

Wenjing smiled and said, "Great! Then I welcome everyone to come and get together here often." After saying that, Wenjing called out to the door, "Someone come here."

A member of the Wen family immediately entered. He bowed to Wen Jing and said, "Patriarch."

Wen Jing said, "Pass down the word, prepare a banquet. I'm inviting everyone to drink today." The Wen family members responded and immediately went to make preparations.

Wen Jing turned to look at the others and then said, "This time, we may not receive any rewards from the sect for disbanding it, but I think it's necessary. We won't be punished even if we don't receive any rewards, which is better than persisting in the sect's existence and being punished in the end."

Everyone nodded, and one of the hall masters spoke up: "Those families actually want to form an alliance to negotiate with the sect. Sect Master, do you think the sect will agree?"

Wen Jing waved his hand and said, "Don't call me Sect Master anymore, just call me Wen Jing. Agree? If you were a member of the sect, would you agree? How many people are there in the sect now? Including the people of our Divine Kingdom, the sect's population has probably reached five hundred billion. Five hundred billion! That's an enormous number. It's safe to say that without the Evolutionary Heaven Sphere, managing such a large sect would be almost impossible. It's only because of the Evolutionary Heaven Sphere that the sect can manage so many people simultaneously. But these people come from all races and all factions. Some were recruited by the sect before, while others joined recently. You..." "Haven't you noticed? Our sect has previously subdued people from other domains in the Divine Realm. While those domains didn't have as many people as our Divine Kingdom, they still had a considerable number. If the sect really agrees to negotiate with those families, won't the people from other domains also unite and try to negotiate with the sect? If everyone tries to negotiate, what will the sect do next? Will it agree to everything? If it does, will the sect still be able to manage things? Wouldn't that effectively cause a split within the sect? If you were Elder Wen or the others, would you agree to that? Leaving aside Elder Wen and the others, even if you were Young Master, would you agree to the sect becoming like that? I, for one, would absolutely not agree."

Upon hearing Wen Jing's words, the others all nodded solemnly. They had never actually thought about this issue before. This was understandable, as they had not been sect leaders before and therefore did not understand how a sect leader thought. Wen Jing, however, was a sect leader and understood how a sect's administrators thought. Thus, he pinpointed the biggest problem for those families: they had misjudged the situation of the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Just as Wen Jing said, the Blood Slaughter Sect has too many members, too many people from various races, and too many other forces. If this precedent were set, wouldn't everyone be able to negotiate with them? Then the sect would truly be unmanageable. Therefore, the Blood Slaughter Sect will absolutely not agree to negotiate with those families. If they did, the Blood Slaughter Sect would truly split apart. (End of Chapter)
