Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2162: Plot and Scheme

After a flash of white light, everyone felt light in front of them, then they smelled the smell of earth and sunshine. They hadn’t smelled this for a long time. Although there was also bright light in the underground world, there was no smell of sunshine. They took the sun for granted in the past, but now that they lost it, they began to yearn for it.

Everyone looked around and discovered that they were in a plane. However, their location was unexpectedly a huge transmission formation. However, this transmission formation looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

The group looked around in confusion. Seeing everyone’s reaction, Deng Wen turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Little Hai, where are we? Why don’t I recognize this place?”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “The last time I went out to travel, I discovered the ruins of a sect. Although the sect was destroyed by Ghost Cultivators, there is still a huge transmission formation. The transmission formation was already broken when I found it, so I repaired it just in case. I didn’t expect to use it at this time. We should be in the territory of the Demonic Faction. There’s no spatial confinement formation here, so you can use your portable transmission formations to return to your own sects.”

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, everyone relaxed. Then the way they looked at Zhao Hai changed to envy. This time, Zhao Hai’s performance outshone everyone in the group.

Long Xiang looked at everyone and sighed gently. He doesn’t know if the operation was a success or a failure. If it was a success, then the losses they incurred during the operation might refute it.

And to say that the operation was a failure wasn’t true as well. This was because their actions caused the most chaos to the Ghost Cultivators. Therefore, it was hard to gauge the results of their expedition.

For Long Xiang, however, this operation was a failure. This was because Long Xiang had offended Zhao Hai, which was a huge loss for him.

But Long Xiang also knew that this wasn’t the time to think about these things. There were still a lot of things to be done. Long Xiang coughed, attracting everyone’s attention. Then he opened his mouth and said, “Now that we’re back, the first thing we should do is to return to our sects. You can all go. The reward will be issued later on. You don’t have to worry.”

As soon as they heard Long Xiang, everyone immediately complied. They cupped their fists towards Long Xiang and then left. The only ones left were the Long Clan’s team and the people from the Tyrant Blade Sect.

Long Xiang looked at the Long Clan juniors and then at the disciples of the Tyrant Blade Sect before saying, “We should head back as well. We still have to make a report. Right, Little Hai, are you going back to the Long Clan or the Tyrant Blade Sect.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “I’m sorry Elder, but my wives have returned to the Tyrant Blade Sect. I want to go back and see them first. Then I’ll return to the Long Clan.”

Long Xiang nodded, “Alright. You can return whenever you want. The Long Clan’s doors will always be open to you.”

Zhao Hai nodded, “Zhao Hai understands.” Long Xiang cupped his fist to Deng Wen and then led his juniors outside.

After Long Xiang disappeared from view, Deng Wen coldly snorted and said, “That old fox. He’s becoming more and more unreasonable.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Alright Elder Deng, Elder Long also has his difficulties. Let’s head back.”

Deng Wen nodded, “Let’s return. We owe the True Dao Sect a huge favor this time. We should think about returning the favor.”

Zhao Hai nodded, “That’s true. The True Dao Sect gave us their blind support. No matter what their goal is, we should report this well.”

Deng Wen agreed, “Let’s head back and make a report. The Tyrant Blade Sect always repaid both kindness and enmity. We will treat those who are kind to us with respect while we’ll be impolite to those who plot against us.”

Zhao Hai understood Deng Wen’s words. The Sword Hegemon Sect, Imperial Beast Sect, and the Matchless Sword School worked together to plot against the Tyrant Blade Sect. It wasn’t the sect’s attitude to ignore such things.

Seeing that it was getting late, Deng Wen looked at the others and said, “Alright, let’s return to the sect.” Everyone complied and then used their portable transmission formations to return to the Tyrant Blade Sect.

When they returned to the sect, they said goodbye to each other before returning to their residences. Zhao Hai also returned to his courtyard where Laura and the others were waiting for him. In addition to Laura and the others, the Yin Yang Elders were also present.

Laura and the others were initially in the Long Clan. But when Long Xiang attacked Zhao Hai, they returned to the Tyrant Blade Sect. Although doing so might make the Long Clan suspicious of Zhao Hai, Laura and the others didn’t care at that time. They knew very well that if they didn’t leave, then they wouldn’t be able to do anything in case the Long Clan was angered. 

Seeing Zhao Hai returning safely, Laura and the others gave a sigh of relief. After Zhao Hai gave a salute to the Yin Yang Elders, they settled down in the living room. The Yin Elder looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Little Hai, how did the operation go? Did it go smoothly?”

Zhao Hai nodded, “Fortunately, we weren’t in too much danger. However, there were some accidents…” Then Zhao Hai continued to retell what happened in the underground world. 

As soon as the Yin Yang Elders heard that Zhao Hai had been schemed against by the Sword Hegemon Sect, their eyes couldn’t help but flare up. The Yang Elder coldly snorted and said, “It seems that the lesson from the Tyrant Blade Sect isn’t enough. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare deal with you too boldly. Their courage is really big.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Looking at the Sword Hegemon Sect’s conduct, I know that they don’t have a good future. It’ll be impossible for them to be a threat to us.”

The Yin Elder raised his brow and asked, “Why do you say this?”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “The name of the Sword Hegemon Sect suggests being unparalleled. But now, there isn’t a lot of domineering aura around their disciples. They tend to plot and scheme, their aggressiveness has vanished.”

Hearing Zhao Hai, The Yin Elder laughed, “You can’t say that. Anyone will plot and scheme. Even our sect plots against our enemies. Everyone is like this.”

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “Anyone can plot and scheme, but they need to know when and how to use it. The Sword Hegemon Sect doesn’t know how to. When we were in the underground world, we still weren’t out of danger but they already schemed against me. Their actions are too obvious. Even if Elder Long didn’t see through their scheme, he would still find out about it before long. The Sword Hegemon Sect might succeed in driving a wedge between me and the Long Clan, but the Long Clan will hate them as well. They won’t get a good result no matter what.”

The Yin Elder nodded, “The Sword Hegemon Sect went too far. We should teach them a lesson.”

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “It’s not that simple. Although the scheme of the Sword Hegemon Sect isn’t good, it also made us see something.”

The Yin Elder couldn’t help but ask, “What do we see?’

Zhao Hai replied, “An alliance. The Sword Hegemon Sect, Imperial Beast Sect, and the Matchless Sword School have the intention of uniting. If they really form an alliance, their threat to us would be greater.”

When the Yin Yang Elders heard this, their complexion turned serious. They agreed to Zhao Hai’s analysis. If the Sword Hegemon Sect, Imperial Beast Sect, and the Matchless Sword School formed an alliance, their collective strength would become a huge problem for the Tyrant Blade Sect and the True Dao Sect. When the time comes, the two sects wouldn’t have better days.

The two elders were silent. At this time, Zhao Hai added, “We also have an advantage. We have a close relationship with the Long Clan. I am now a member of the Clan. And during the operation, the Long Clan treated me unfairly. I reckon they will compensate me. If we seize the opportunity, we might form a closer relationship with them. There is a high probability of this happening.”

The eyes of the Yin Yang Elders couldn’t help but light up. The Long Clan used to rule the entire True Spirit Realm. Although they weren’t as strong as before, their foundation is deeper than any sect. If the Tyrant Blade Sect can form a closer relationship with them, the benefits to the sect would be huge.”

Zhao Hai looked at the Yin Yang Elders and said, “Even if we form an alliance with the Long Clan, it would be a secret alliance. The Long Clan wouldn’t openly form an alliance with a sect. If the Long Clan did this, they would lose their transcendent status in the True Spirit Realm. I don’t think the Long Clan wants this to happen. So, they might be our allies, but this fact wouldn’t be made public.”

The Yin Yang Elders were disappointed, but they could only agree to Zhao Hai’s words. After the Long Clan lost their dominance over the True Spirit Realm, they only managed to keep their status due to their detached position. They didn’t form an alliance with any sect, nor did they interfere with grudges between two sects. Therefore, the sects still believed in the clan.

If the Long Clan formed an alliance with a sect, then the aloof position of the clan would vanish. They would become an ordinary power in the True Spirit Realm. For the Long Clan, this wasn’t a good thing.

Naturally, with the Long Clan’s strength, nobody would dare provoke them. But if they want to keep their strength, they couldn’t mix with the sects. 

This wasn’t necessarily a bad thing for the Long Clan. The main thing was to see if the Long Clan was ambitious. If the Long Clan had plans, then it would be good for the clan to have allies. If they have no ambitions, then it’s a bad thing to be closer to a certain group of cultivators.
