Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2277: Being Ruthless

|TOC|Next->

Zhao Hai just arrived at the halfway point down the mountain when he had to stop. This was because his path was blocked by five people. These five were disciples of the Forbidden Path Sect. One of them was two meters tall with bulging muscles. He looked like a weightlifting champion. 

However, in Zhao Hai’s eyes, such people were the least threatening. From what Zhao Hai could see, although they look like body cultivators, they actually belonged to the lowest quality ones. Their muscles look scary, but they couldn’t utilize them better than Zhao Hai. On the contrary, once body cultivation reaches a certain level, one’s muscles would become different, very much unlike ordinary people. Their muscles will become more supple and will no longer bulge. This was because at that time, it wasn’t only muscles that provided strength to the body but also muscles and bones. 

But now, these low-quality body cultivators looked at Zhao Hai with arrogant expressions. Despite seeing this, Zhao Hai cupped his fist and said, “Brothers, may I know why you are blocking my way?” 

The person at the front looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Kid, are you Elder Guo’s descendant? Why would he lead you here personally and even arrange a room?” 

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “So Brother came for this. I’m not a descendant of Elder Guo. I entered the Forbidden Path Sect through the normal way. Elder Guo just happened to be on the way, so he brought me over.” 

When the person heard this, he couldn’t help but look at Zhao Hai in confusion. Then he said, “Let me see your identity token.” 

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and then took out his identity token and handed it over. Seeing Zhao Hai’s identity token, the person actually stared. This was because Zhao Hai’s token was a temporary identity token, not even an official token. His face couldn’t help but show a scornful expression. He tossed the token to Zhao Hai and said, “Kid, you’re not even an official disciple. Who do you think you are to stay in the Strength courtyard? Don’t you know that only geniuses can stay in the Strength Courtyard?” 

Zhao Hai received the token, then he showed a confused expression as he responded, “I really don’t know. It was Elder Guo who arranged my room in the courtyard. Does Elder Brother have any advice?” 

The person coldly snorted and said, “Kid, you dare use Elder Guo’s name to suppress me. Then you have made a mistake. Others might be afraid of Elder Guo, but I’m not like the others. It’s not impossible for you to live in the Strength Courtyard, but you have to hand over a hundred jade essences per day.” 

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “But Elder Guo said that I don’t have to pay anything to stay in the courtyard? I also don’t need to spend anything to eat. Why would I pay? Does the sect have such rules?” 

“This isn’t the sect’s rules, but this is Long Fei’s rule! What, you don’t dare?” Long Fei showed an offended expression in front of Zhao Hai. 

Zhao Hai replied, “If this isn’t the rule of the sect, then I won’t pay. As for your rules, what does that have to do with me?” 

Hearing Zhao Hai, Long Fei’s expression changed. His voice turned cold as he said, “Kid, you brought this upon yourself. For the sake of Elder Guo’s face, I’ll only break your knees. But don’t worry, I’ll be gentle. I’ll only make sure that you won’t walk for a week.” After saying that, he waved his hand, commanding the four people behind him to pounce on Zhao Hai. 

The commotion attracted some cultivators close by, but upon seeing that it was Long Fei blocking Zhao Hai, they immediately turned around and fled. They seem to be very scared of Long Fei. 

Seeing four people coming at him, Zhao Hai coldly snorted and said, “Overestimating yourself!” After that, his body moved as his hands became claws flashing past the four attackers. A few cracks were heard afterwards along with screams as the four people felt their arms hanging from their sides like wet noodles. It was clear that their bones were broken. 

Long Fei didn’t expect Zhao Hai to be so ruthless, and with so much strength. His complexion immediately changed. He knew that his strength wasn’t any better than the four. But these four moving together couldn’t do anything to Zhao Hai. This meant that he wasn’t Zhao Hai’s opponent. His eyes flashed fear for the first time. 

Zhao Hai looked at Long Fei and couldn’t help but give a cold smile. Then he slowly moved forward. Long Fei’s face paled as he retreated. At the same time, he warned Zhao Hai, “Kid, you dare? Do you know the sect’s rules?” 

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Sect rules? I really don’t know. But when you want to attack me, why aren’t you afraid of the sect rules? Since you only dare to injure me, then that must be within the rules. As long as I don’t kill you, won’t there be no problem?” 

Long Fei stared, then his expression became difficult to look at. He was only trying to scare Zhao Hai who didn’t know the rules of the sect. It was said that if two disciples have a conflict, they could settle it privately as long as nobody gets killed. So, if Zhao Hai didn’t kill him, then that was fine. 

This rule has a big relationship with the Forbidden Path Sect’s cultivation method. What the Forbidden Path Sect practiced was body cultivation which meant that its practitioners have very rich vitality. This also meant that their disciples were very easy to get angry. This private settlement rule was a means for disciples to vent their anger at each other. This also made sure that they don’t develop inner demons and go crazy during cultivation. 

Besides this, their cultivation method also has a contribution. Bodies of body cultivators are miraculous. After getting wounded, they could recover at a very fast pace. In addition to pills and other means, getting injured wasn’t a problem for the sect disciples. 

Because of this, the sect didn’t forbid any private battles. As long as nobody gets killed, every conflict is fine. 

Long Fei didn’t think that Zhao Hai would speculate the rules from his actions. This made Long Fei’s expression ugly. However, Long Fei wasn’t completely out of options. He still had another card he hadn’t taken out. He looked at Zhao Hai and warned, “Kid, you can take action, but you don’t want to provoke me. My Brother is Long Batian, one of the top ten disciples of the Inner Sect. These are disciples that have the best chance of becoming core disciples. If you don’t want to die, you better apologize and I might consider letting you go.” 

Hearing this, Zhao Hai’s smile widened, “So you’re just trash that likes bullying. I didn’t expect the Forbidden Path Sect to keep someone like you without being punished. Alright, alright, then let me teach you a lesson on their behalf. You need to understand that if you want to intimidate people, you need to be competent first.” Then Zhao Hai’s body flashed as he twisted both of Long Fei’s arms. A loud crack was heard before Long Fei pitifully shouted. Then he fainted from the pain.  ṝАΝỘ₿ÈŚ

Zhao Hai let go of Long Fei and gave him a cold look before saying, “Trash is trash.” Then he no longer paid attention to him and continued walking down the mountain.  

Zhao Hai dealt with Long Fei using cruel methods because he knew that this wasn’t the Tyrant Blade Sect who had a united spirit. In the Tyrant Blade Sect, nobody bullies their fellow disciple. This didn’t mean that everyone got along with each other, but there were no bullies acting in the open. 

The Forbidden Path Sect was different. Since it was a demonic sect, it followed the rule of the jungle. It was the bigger fist that was the most reasonable. Therefore, not being ruthless enough in the Forbidden Path Sect would be seen as a weakness. Being low-key meant that you were a target for bullying. And if you don’t show ruthlessness, the sect might see that you have no potential and would no longer nurture you. 

Therefore, seeing that Long Fei was bullying him, Zhao Hai responded with a heavy hand. He wanted to set up his reputation. He wanted the sect to know that he was someone to be feared. 

Just as Zhao Hai continued going down the mountain, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him. Zhao Hai could feel that there was no hostility coming from the person approaching. Therefore, he didn’t turn around and continued to walk. 

“Junior Brother, please wait a moment.” The person asked Zhao Hai to wait. Zhao Hai couldn’t help but frown as he turned around. Seeing the person approaching, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but stare. He didn’t expect such a person to exist within the Forbidden Path Sect. 

This person might be normal if it were another sect. But in the Forbidden Path Sect, this person was quite unique. It wasn’t any remarkable features, but because of his build. 

He was fat! Zhao Hai immediately thought of calling him ‘Fatty’ when he saw the person approaching. This person wasn’t even two meters tall, but his body weight should be around 400 jin. 

This person might cause people to briefly turn around in another place, but his body would look strange in the Forbidden Path Sect. After all, the Forbidden Path Sect walked the path of body cultivation. Disciples of the sect tend to become muscled brutes with close to zero fat. Body Cultivation demands very heavy investment from one’s body, especially energy. Practicing body cultivation meant burning fat all the time. This explains why body cultivators were mostly thin. All of their energy was spent on building muscle.  

Fatties were extremely rare in body cultivation sects. Having fat meant wasting energy that could be used to transform their muscle. Moreover, fat hinders their actions. Because of this, body cultivators make sure to reduce as much fat in their bodies as possible. 

Zhao Hai looked at the fatty in shock, which the fatty was already used to. He quickly approached Zhao Hai and then cupped his fist, “Brother, I’m Zhou Feng, an outer disciple. Can I know your name?” 

Zhao Hai cupped his fist and replied, “My name is Zhao Ling. I’m here to join the sect.” 

The fatty raised his brow and said, “You’re here to join? You aren’t a disciple yet?” 

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “I have a Bloodless Command Token, so I can join the sect. But after the elders assessed me, they thought that I should participate in the Heart Refining Road. If I pass, then I can become an official disciple or even an Inner Sect disciple. This is why I only have a temporary identity token.” 

Hearing Zhao Hai, Zhou Feng couldn’t help but stare, then his expression changed as he said, “Heart Refining Road? Isn’t that something that only Inner Disciples can pass? Then if you pass, won’t you become an Inner Disciple?” 

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “I’m not clear about the sect’s rules. Why did Brother Zhou stop me earlier?” 

Zhou Feng recovered, he then remembered that he had something to say. He quickly answered, “Brother, you should look for Elder Guo now. Perhaps he might be able to guarantee your life. If Elder Guo really wants you to take the Heart Refining Road, then he should also be able to save you.” 

“Save me?” Zhao Hai was confused, “I’m not sick, why would he save me? It shouldn’t be Long Fei’s Brother?” 

Zhou Feng nodded, “Although Long Fei is trash, his brother Long Batian is a formidable genius. He was able to become a top ten disciple of the Inner Sect at a young age. He’s a powerful Teleportation Stage Expert. His only shortcoming is his very protective nature towards Long Fei. This allowed Long Fei to cause endless trouble in the Outer Sect. Nobody can do anything to Long Fei or else they will face Long Batian. That’s why I told you to go to Elder Guo immediately. Otherwise, you will be in danger. And since you injured Long Fei, Long Batian will not let you go.”
