Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2228 – Information Confirmed

The Battle Corpse Sect was a sect of ghost cultivators. Their treatment towards their disciples was very harsh. If the disciple fails to complete a task, they would be heavily punished. If the failure was very severe, the disciple might even be turned into a battle corpse.

Ma Long and Liu Cai were able to follow Zhao Hai not because of their strength. It was because they happened to be in the soul fusion stage; which was the same as Zhao Hai. They were also born as rogue cultivators, making them very familiar with life outside the sect.

Ma Ling and Liu Cai knew that if they failed the mission, they wouldn’t have good lives moving forward. Zhao Hai had Wei Tiande behind them who could act as a shield. Meanwhile, Liu Cai and Ma Long have nobody to depend on. When the time comes, all the misfortune would fall to them.

It has been some time since they arrived in the Forbidden Path Sect’s territory, but they haven’t gained any useful information. This caused the two of them to worry. They were afraid that the sect would blame them for doing a bad job.

When he entered the room, Zhao Hai waved his hand to invite the two to sit down. Then he opened his mouth and said, “I went to the Abundance Hall today to establish a relationship between them and the Blood Knife Gang. The people of the Abundance Hall were very easy to talk to, which allowed me to gather information on behalf of the Blood Knife Gang. In addition to the information about gangs that the Blood Knife Gang couldn’t offend, I also got some surprising information.”

Zhao Hai paused for a moment as he looked at Ma Long and Liu Cai, then he continued, “The Forbidden Path Sect is recruiting disciples. This time, they’re recruiting anyone. Everyone can apply and those selected will become disciples of the sect. The sect did this because they are planning something big.”

Ma Long and Liu Cai stared for a moment to process what Zhao Hai said. They didn’t know if this information was useful to them or not. Although it was a big matter for a sect to recruit disciples, it was unlikely for the sect to accept rogue cultivators. After all, it was very easy to insert spies among rogue cultivators.

Zhao Hai looked at Ma Ling ang Liu Cai and said, “Don’t think that this has nothing to do with our matter. In fact, this tells us a lot of things. The Forbidden Path Sect is a major sect within the Demonic Faction. If the sect plans to make a big move, there’s a huge possibility that the rest of the Demonic Faction are doing the same. With the Demonic Faction making moves, how could there be no reaction from the Righteous and the Devil Factions?”

When Ma Long and Liu Cai heard this, they stared before their eyes lit up. They finally understood what Zhao Hai was saying.

Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, “I also went around the third city to listen to rumors. People are saying that the Demonic and the Devil Factions are working together to go against the Righteous Faction. Do you know what this means if this rumor is true?”

Ma Long and Liu Cai aren’t fools. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to join the Battle Corpse Sect as Rogue Cultivators. So, when they heard Zhao Hai, they immediately understood. Almost at the same time, they opened their mouths and said, “There will be chaos in the True Spirit Realm.” They said that with bright eyes. If the True Spirit Realm was going to be overturned by war, this will be the biggest opportunity for ghost cultivators.

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Correct. If the Demonic and the Devil Factions work together and attack the Righteous Faction, the True Spirit Realm will turn chaotic. That will be a huge opportunity for us. However, we cannot pass this information to the sect yet. We still need solid proof. Once we determine that the information is true, it wouldn’t be late to send a report. The consequences wouldn’t be good if the rumors are false.”

Ma Long and Liu Cai nodded. Naturally, they understood Zhao Hai’s concern. They cannot pass on fake information that would be detrimental to the sect. If they submit inaccurate information, they would be punished by the sect.

Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, “Go to the third city and listen around. We need to confirm this information as soon as possible.”

Ma Long nodded and then he said, “Junior Brother, rest assured, you can leave this matter to us. Right, you said that the Forbidden Path Sect is preparing to accept disciples, are you planning to apply?”

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “I don’t. Once we get confirmation, our mission is complete. There’s no reason to join the sect. Alright, let’s head out and dig for more information. I still need to see the Gang Master. After that, the three stood up and went about their business.

When Zhao Hai left the courtyard, he walked towards Wang Da’s residence. Wang Da is the Blood Knife Gang’s leader and has now reached the Teleportation Stage. Although he still had a lot of tasks to manage, he no longer handled the mundane affairs. This left him more time for cultivation.

Zhao Hai arrived outside Wang Da’s courtyard and said, “Gang Master, Zhao Ling wants an audience.”

The door to the courtyard opened, then Wang Da’s voice was heard, “Come in.” Zhao Hai nodded and entered.

Wang Da’s courtyard was the biggest in the Blood Knife Gang. The courtyard also has a small cultivation ground where Wang Da can practice in peace.

At this time, Wang Da was sitting in his living room. Since the door to the living room was open, Zhao Hai was able to see the Gang Master sitting inside.

Zhao Hai entered the room, cupped his fist, and said, “I have seen the Gang Master.”

Wang Da nodded, then he waved his hand and said, “Alright, you don’t have to be polite. Sit down and tell me if the Abundance Hall is willing to help.” ȑἈΝỔʙĘṠ

Zhao Hai sat down, then he took out a jade slip and handed it over to Wang Da before saying, “Gang Master, as soon as the Abundance Hall heard my request, they immediately agreed. They said that in order for the Blood Knife Gang to survive in Demonheart City, there are forces that we cannot provoke. Shopkeeper Yun gave me this jade slip showing which forces we cannot offend.”

Hearing Zhao Hai, Wang Da held the lade slip and read through it using his spiritual force. After going through the contents, his face couldn’t help but change. He looked at Zhao Hai and asked, “Zhao Ling, have you seen the contents of the jade slip?”

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “I haven’t. After Shopkeeper Yun gave it to me, I left the Abundance Hall. Then I walked a few rounds in the third city before returning here.”

Wang Da sighed and said, “I didn’t expect Demonheart City to be so huge. There are nearly a thousand differently sized gangs in the city, and there are hundreds of them we can’t offend. There are also lone individuals living in the city that have the strength to eradicate the Blood Knife Gang. The Blood Knife Gang is actually ranked around eight hundredth.”

Zhao Hai was genuinely surprised by what Wang Da said. He hasn’t looked through the jade slip. He believed that Shopkeeper Yun wasn’t a person to make careless mistakes. The content in the jade slip was for the Blood Knife Gang to read. There shouldn’t be anything unrelated inside. And if the jade slip arrived at Wang Da used, the Gang Master might become suspicious.

Zhao Hai guessed correctly. Shopkeeper Yun didn’t add unnecessary information in the jade slip. Shopkeeper Yun knew that Zhao Hai wasn’t a high-level member of the Blood Knife Gang. He has no right to read jade slips intended for the Gang Master.

Wang Da asked Zhao Hai about seeing the jade slip not because he was suspecting him, but because he was surprised by its contents. He didn’t expect the Blood Knife Gang to be very low in Demonheart City’s hierarchy.

Wang Da looked at Zhao Hai, very satisfied with his performance. Zhao Hai was sensible and knew when to advance and retreat. Then he said, “Little Ling, did you manage to get information other than this?”

Zhao Hai quickly replied, “There is information, but I don’t know if it’s true or not. The Forbidden Path Sect is recruiting disciples. Shopkeeper Yun said that they might be preparing something huge. We have to be careful.”

Hearing this, Wang Da’s expression changed. Then he asked, “Did Shopkeeper Yun really say this?”

Zhao Hai nodded, “Yes, Shopkeeper Yun told me this. Gang Master, do you have any idea about this?”

Wang Da smiled bitterly and said, “It really came. Actually, this matter isn’t a secret. I also heard from others that the Demonic and the Devil Factions have formed an alliance and are ready to send troops to the Righteous Faction. If the Forbidden Path Sect is indeed making a move, then it might have something to do with the attack.”

Zhao Hai’s expression changed. Then he said, “So it’s like that. I also heard such rumors when I walked around the third city. I didn’t expect the rumors to be true.”
