Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2169: I Want to Close Up

Long Tian sat in Long Zhan’s study as the two faced each other. There were two cups of tea on the table. Long Tian looked at Long Zhan and said, “Brother, what do you think about what happened?”

Long Zhan looked at Long Tian and replied, “Are suspecting people colluding with the Ghost Cultivators?”

Long Tian replied, “It looks obvious. The target of the Ghost Cultivators this time are the Tyrant Blade Sect and the True Dao Sect. They attacked the other sects, but the forces they sent are significantly smaller.”

Long Zhan nodded, “I have the same thoughts, but we don’t have proof. We also can’t investigate this matter or else we’ll alert the enemy. With how long we fought against the Ghost Cultivators, we already understand their actions. They should have removed all of their traces. Even if there is collusion, they wouldn’t act again in a short period of time. They wouldn’t expose themselves so soon.”

Long Tian looked at Long Zhan and said, “Then what should we do? Should we let them off?”

Long Zhan shook his head, “How could that be possible? We still need to respond. Even if we can’t find anything, we still have to do patrols so that those Ghost Cultivators will behave for a while.”

Long Tian nodded, but then he frowned as he said, “Zhao Hai has brought a lot of children with him when he returned to the Tyrant Blade Sect. I reckon he’s going to return soon. What kind of effect do you think this has on him?”

Long Zhan shook his head and said, “You underestimate Zhao Hai. He wouldn’t be affected. On the contrary, I think he’s going to retaliate against the Ghost Cultivators.”

Long Tian knit his brows, “Retaliate against the Ghost Cultivators? How is that possible? He’s too weak. Moreover, he seems indifferent to the life and deaths of other cultivators. Will he really do anything against the Ghost Cultivators.”

Long Zhan looked at Long Tian and said, “From the materials we obtained, we found out that Zhao Hai’s journey is filled with bloodshed. He looks at life and death very lightly, but he’s a very protective person. Most importantly, he has great concern regarding those who can’t cultivate. This time, the Ghost Cultivators attacked the mortals in the Tyrant Blade Sect’s domain. Zhao Hai certainly wouldn’t let those people off. As for how he would retaliate, I still don’t know.”

Long Tian smiled faintly and said, “Once Zhao Hai makes a move, those Ghost Cultivators wouldn’t have great days. Although Zhao Hai is a bit weak, his methods are too varied. Moreover, I heard that he’s gifted with a spatial ability. If that is the case, he could return to the Underground World at any time.”

Hearing this, Long Zhan couldn’t help but ask, “You said Zhao Hai has a spatial ability? Where did you get this information?”

Long Tian smiled faintly and said, “Don’t forget, Zhao Hai came from the lower realms. We might not know, but there are quite a lot of people from the lower realms who know about his ability. Just ask anyone who came from the lower realms.”

Long Zhan stared, then he laughed and said, “Good. If Zhao Hai really holds a spatial ability, then he would have all the opportunities he wants to deal with the Ghost Cultivators.”

Long Tian nodded and said, “I’m beginning to see through less and less of that kid. He looks like a treasure trove, there would always be good things waiting for us to uncover.”

As Long Tian said this, a voice was heard from outside, “Patriarch, Zhao Hai has returned.”

Hearing this, Long Zhan immediately answered, “Alright, I received the report.” Then he turned his head to Long Tian and said, “I didn’t expect him to return so soon. But this is also good. When you go see him, ask him what he plans to do next.”

Long Tian smiled and said, “I’m heading over there now. I want to see what ideas that kid has.” Then he stood up and prepared to leave.

Long Zhan looked at Long Tian’s back and smiled faintly, “Brother, you really made a huge move this time in bringing Zhao Hai to the Long Clan. In the future, I want to see if there’s still people who dares to underestimate us. I have a feeling that the Long Clan’s future would depend on him.”

Long Tian wasn’t aware of what Long Zhan said as he had already arrived in Zhao Hai’s courtyard. The courtyard was currently filled with people. The guardians of the children that Zhao Hai taught have come over. Their children have been gone for a few months. As parents, they were naturally worried.

However, when they saw their child, the worry in their hearts vanished immediately. Although their children became a bit darker, they were more vigorous and healthier than when they left. They seemed to grow taller as well. Most importantly, the children were evidently more energetic. They were running around the courtyard like crazy. The parents couldn’t help but smile when looking at them.

The parents were very respectful towards Zhao Hai. They were extremely grateful to him. Zhao Hai was also very polite towards everyone. He was genuine in his care for the children.

At this time, Zhao Hai discovered Long Tian walking over. He immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, “Elder Tian, did you come here to invite me to drink?”

Long Tian looked at Zhao Hai, wanting to see if there were any changes to Zhao Hai. However, he couldn’t discover anything new. Zhao Hai seemed the same.

Long Tian couldn’t help but admire Zhao Hai. He knew about what happened in the Tyrant Blade Sect, especially the battle against the Ghost Cultivators where Zhao Hai was involved. Long Tian’s secret investigation showed that the Ghost Cultivators who fell under Zhao Hai’s blade were countless. Despite this, there was no murderous aura coming out of Zhao Hai’s body. Zhao Hai still has a warm aura around him.

Long Tian knew that Zhao Hai’s murderous aura was very heavy. It was because of this that control over one’s murderous aura became very important. A person’s handling of their murderous aura was carried in multiple steps. In the beginning, when a person killed a few people, they would develop a murderous aura around their bodies. Even if they wanted to suppress it, they didn’t have the ability to. During this period, ordinary people would be scared whenever they looked at this person.

The next stage was when a person killed a lot of people. Their murderous aura became even stronger. They could suppress this murderous aura, but not a lot of people could stay beside them for a long time without being affected. The Yin Yang Elders are at this stage.

The third stage seems to be where Zhao Hai is. Although Zhao Hai killed countless people, his killing aura has become part of himself, like a weapon that can be wielded whenever the owner wants. Zhao Hai’s murderous aura has fused with his own soul. This allowed Zhao Hai to control his murderous aura. He can choose to release it in full or completely erase its presence.

Right now, the majority of the people in the realm were in the first stage. Those who want to reach the second stage would need to kill at least a thousand people. And to reach the third stage, a person would need to kill 100 thousand people. Even Ghost Cultivators wouldn’t be able to kill 100 thousand people, otherwise they would suffer a backlash in their qi. The Ghost Cultivators practice yin-attribute cultivation methods. Yin Qi was very sensitive towards murderous auras. Yin Qi’s ability to devour was very strong. Although Ghost Cultivators cultivate their souls, they would train external souls for battle. Their main souls would only be used during important battles.

In the entire True Spirit Realm, Long Tian only knew one person who reached the third stage, and that was Zhao Hai.

When Long Tian’s investigation of Zhao Hai had just begun, he found out that when Zhao Hai arrived in the True Spirit Realm, he didn’t appear to be brilliant. But then later on, Long Tian became aware about Zhao Hai’s actions in the Soaring Dragon Realm. Zhao Hai’s eradication of an entire realm immediately caught Long Tian’s attention. He immediately sent someone to check Zhao Hai’s status and at the same time he sent people to find people from the Hundred Treasures Realm and ask them about Zhao Hai’s history in the other lower realms.

Only then did Long Tian know that Zhao Hai was a dazzling character in the lower realms. He created a sect which became the top sect. It also came to light that Zhao Hai killed a lot of people in the lower realms. Despite this, Zhao Hai didn’t become a madman. He continued to take good care of his people.

Zhao Hai would take care of people who treated him well. At the same time, he wouldn’t let the people who offend him off so easily. He was warm to his people but cruel to his enemies.

Long Tian was really angry when he found out that Long Xiang had offended Zhao Hai, especially after knowing that Zhao Hai has a spatial ability. It must be known that people with spatial abilities were the most difficult to deal with. Even if they lost, they could still escape. Only when a Space Breaker Expert could deal with them. Even then, it wasn’t a guarantee that a Space Breaker Expert could catch them.

If the Long Clan really offended such a person, especially someone like Zhao Hai who held grudges, even if Zhao Hai couldn’t do anything against the clan’s experts, the ordinary members of the clan would suffer for a long time. Because Zhao Hai has been to Coiling Dragon City, it would be too easy for him to come and go. Even a family like the Long Clan would be hard pressed if they were in conflict with Zhao Hai.

Looking at Zhao Hai’s attitude, Long Tian was completely relieved. Seeing Zhao Hai, he laughed and said, “Of course I’m here to drink. I haven’t seen you for a long time. I can’t find someone else to drink with. What a waste. We need to get drunk.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “No problem. I’ll have Laura and the others prepare a couple of dishes to accompany our wine.”

Long Tian smiled, “Then it’s settled. You kids, go home quickly. Don’t disturb this old man’s drinking. If you want to send something to Little Hai, do it tomorrow. I can see why you’re happy, those little fellows are as lively as monkeys.”

As soon as they heard Long Tian, the parents were aware that he had something important to talk about with Zhao Hai. Then after hearing Long Tian praising their children, they all happily laughed and then led their children home. They were now thinking about what to bring Zhao Hai tomorrow.

When the parents left, Zhao Hai sat in the living room with Long Tian. Meg offered them tea before leaving to prepare the food and wine. After taking a sip of his tea, Long Tian nodded and said, “I must say, the tea that little Meg makes is very tasty. Because of this, I can’t drink any other tea.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Then drink a lot.”

Long Tian smiled, then he placed his teacup down and said, “Little Hai, I sent people to get in contact with the people from your lower realms. I did this to understand you more and to take care of them. Rest assured, they will be able to enter the True Spirit Realm soon. I hope you don’t get angry.”

Zhao Hai stared, then he shook his head and said, “It’s fine. I’m not angry. On the contrary, I’d like to thank you.”

Long Tian nodded, then he said, “The Ghost Cultivators have caused great damage to the Tyrant Blade Sect. What are your plans? Do you want to deal with them?”

Hearing Long Tian, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but stare. Then he immediately understood what Long Tian meant. He looked at Long Tian and said, “I’m preparing to close up for some time. I hope Elder can allow me.”

Zhao Hai’s answer seems to be far from what he expected, but Long Tian was a smart person, he immediately understood what Zhao Hai meant. His pupils couldn’t help but shrink. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Is there anything I can do to help?”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “There’s no need. I only hope that Elder can agree to have Laura and the others teach on my behalf.”

Long Tian stared, then he nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll let Laura and the others teach. I also find that they’re better at teaching children. Having them substitute for you won’t be a problem.”

Hearing this, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but laugh, “It seems like my qualifications have gone down. But it doesn’t matter. As long as they can teach the children, there’s no other problem on my side.”

Long Tian nodded, then he said, “Little Hai, remember, you are now a person of the Long Clan. The clan is standing behind you. There’s no need to be reserved.”

Zhao Hai nodded but didn’t say anything. A smart person doesn’t need to say many words.
