Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2168: Ghost Cultivators Retreat

At this time, an announcement was heard from outside, “Sect Master, Elder Zhen and disciple Zhao Hai are asking for an audience.”

Hearing this, the Sect Master stared, then his expression lightened up. He immediately said, “Invite them in quickly.” As he said that, he stood up and stared at the door.

Before long, the door was opened from the outside. Then two people walked in. Seeing Elder Zhen and Zhao Hai, the Sect Master had a hopeful look as he asked, “Old Zhen, how is it? Did you find a way to break the spatial imprisonment formation?”

Elder Zhen shook his head and said, “It’s too hard. We aren’t able to find a way to break it.”

Hearing this response, the Sect Master couldn’t help but be disappointed. However, he immediately replied, “Why are you here? Do you need anything? Rest assured, the sect will provide whatever you need.”

Elder Zhen smiled faintly and said, “Although we weren’t able to break the spatial imprisonment formation, we were able to come up with a barrier formation. Using this barrier formation, our transmission formations could be used normally.”

Hearing this, the Sect Master couldn’t help but stare, then he lit up with happiness, “Are you sure?”

Elder Zhen chuckled, “Of course I’m sure. We’re here to ask the Sect Master to give the order. Then the sect can make the formation as soon as possible. Once we have everything set up, it’s time for our counterattack.”

The Sect Master laughed happily and nodded, “Good, good. I’ll send the order immediately.” After that, the Sect Master shouted at the door, “Someone, go and call the Treasury Elder.” Someone outside immediately complied and ran.

The Sect Master looked back at Elder Zhen and Zhao Hai and said, “Old Zhen, how did you manage to come up with the formation? I thought it would take you a long time.”

Elder Zhen smiled bitterly and said, “We’re lucky to have Little Hai. If it weren’t for him, it would be impossible for us to reach this result in a short period of time.” Then Elder Zhen told the Sect Master about their initial direction for research and how they made a pivot towards barrier formations.

As the Sect Master listened to Elder Zhen’s words, his expression constantly changed. In the end, he let out a long breath and said, “If it weren’t for Little Hai, who knows when we’ll finish the research.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “The Sect Master overpraised me. Without everyone, I would be useless.”

The Sect Master nodded, then he said, “Little Hai, rest assured, the Tyrant Blade Sect wouldn’t treat you unjustly. Now let’s prepare. Once the formations are completed, we’ll make the ghost bastards know how fierce we can be.” The two complied and then left.

Zhao Hai spent the next few days in the courtyard. During these days, the children had already adapted to the life in the Tyrant Blade Sect. They still followed Qiu Tie around. They dug the earth to get food, they ran around catching insects, they were having fun overall.

However, this doesn’t mean that their training was ignored. Qiu Tie was still a training maniac. With him taking the leadership position, it was impossible for the children to be lazy.

After Zhao Hai returned to Resident Complex 52, he didn’t go and stop the children from playing around. In Zhao Hai’s opinion, playing was what a child does. It would be cruel to prevent a child from playing.

It took five days for the Tyrant Blade Sect to finally send the message. The barrier formation has finally been made. The sect can now act. Hearing this information, the entire sect boiled. Everyone was complaining when the sect disallowed them from making a move.

The fact that the Tyrant Blade Sect was making the barrier formation was kept in secrecy. The Tyrant Blade Sect knew that the sect wasn’t completely clean. If they passed around the information that they have the barrier formation, the Ghost Cultivators might find out about it. It would be difficult to catch the Ghost Cultivators if they were prepared.

Because of this, it wasn’t until the formation had finished production that it was announced to the public. At the same time, it was time for the sect to regain the Branch Halls near the headquarters.

The Tyrant Blade Sect’s action was very quick. They didn’t give the Ghost Cultivators enough time to respond. When the Ghost Cultivators got wind of the attack, the Tyrant Blade Sect was already outside their door. The Ghost Cultivators didn’t even have time to resist.

The domineering counterattack of the Tyrant Blade Sect didn’t only stun the Ghost Cultivators, it also sent waves throughout the entire True Spirit Realm. Back when the branch halls around the headquarters were captured, other sects ridiculed the Tyrant Blade Sect. They thought that the Tyrant Blade Sect was scared and retreated.

The Ghost Cultivators were also ridiculing the Tyrant Blade Sect for not having courage. If it weren’t for the headquarters being hard to crack, the Ghost Cultivators would have already attacked it.

However, the Tyrant Blade Sect’s counterattack informed everyone that the Tyrant Blade Sect wasn’t weak.

After regaining the branch halls around the headquarters, the Tyrant Blade Sect dispatched troops to recapture the rest of the branch halls. The Tyrant Blade Sect decided to teach the Ghost Cultivators a proper lesson. Therefore, every attack they did was done without mercy. Ghost Cultivators didn’t have time to escape before they were slaughtered.

Zhao Hai also participated in this operation. Moreover, before the attack, he told the Sect Master that he wouldn’t ask for a reward for the achievements he made to the sect. Instead, he wanted the corpses of the Ghost Cultivators to be given to him.

Hearing this, the Sect Master knew what Zhao Hai wanted to do. After all, it was already known that Zhao Hai has the ability to make use of the Ghost Cultivator corpses. Therefore, the sect immediately agreed to Zhao Hai’s request.

All branches that were recovered by the Tyrant Blade Sect were equipped with barrier formations as well as spatial imprisonment formations. This almost made the Tyrant Blade Sect’s territory a region where portable transmission formations couldn’t be used. If the Ghost Cultivators want to escape, they could only run away. They had no way of using portable transmission formations.

In the past, the method that the Ghost Cultivators used to occupy the Tyrant Blade Sect’s branch halls was the same. They used spatial imprisonment formations to prevent the Tyrant Blade Sect from sending reinforcements.

Now, the Tyrant Blade Sect also used spatial imprisonment formations to recapture its branch halls. This prevented the Ghost Cultivators from getting support or escaping. It was time for the Ghost Cultivators to feel what the Tyrant Blade Sect felt.

As the Tyrant Blade Sect’s counterattack continued, more and more branch halls were recaptured. The advantage of the Ghost Cultivators was also getting smaller and smaller. The Ghost Cultivators were about to run out of bases in the Tyrant Blade Sect’s domain.

The entire realm was observing the Tyrant Blade Sect, especially the Great Sects. What they saw made them uneasy. They didn’t expect the Tyrant Blade Sect’s attacks to be so violent. The Ghost Cultivators were simply unable to hit back.

The strength of the Ghost Cultivators has already been recognized by the True Spirit Realm. It was precisely because of this that all the Great Sects were very careful when dealing with Ghost Cultivators on their own. This caution was often taken advantage of by the Ghost Cultivators. This would cause the Great Sects to suffer, and in turn would cause the Great Sects to be more careful. It was a vicious cycle that benefited the Ghost Cultivators.

Because of this, whenever Great Sects clashed against Ghost Cultivators, they would generally work with other sects. It was rare for a sect to face the Ghost Cultivators on their own.

This rarity highlighted the actions made by the Tyrant Blade Sect. The other sects were startled. Although the Ghost Cultivators were still sending people to harass the other sects, they weren’t large-scale attacks. Even so, the Great Sects were still very careful. They were afraid of the Ghost Cultivators plotting that they didn’t dare support the Tyrant Blade Sect.

But now, the Tyrant Blade Sect were able to deal a vicious blow to the Ghost Cultivators on their own. This wasn’t what the other sects expected. The same was true for the Ghost Cultivators. They were also startled by the blows of the Tyrant Blade Sect. They didn’t expect the counterattack of the Tyrant Blade Sect to be so swift. Before they were able to do anything, they were almost kicked out of the Tyrant Blade Sect’s domain. This enraged the Ghost Cultivators.

The Ghost Cultivators began to retaliate. They made sneak attacks on the Tyrant Blade Sect’s branch halls. However, they were repelled in the end. Although they used spatial imprisonment formations, the Tyrant Blade Sect was still able to send reinforcements. In the end, the Ghost Cultivators could only retreat.

Seeing that these methods have become useless, the Ghost Cultivators knew that it wasn’t time for a full-scale war against the True Spirit Realm. This time, their retreat was holistic. All Ghost Cultivators retreated back to the underground world. The attack of the Ghost Cultivators ended in this way.

Although the Ghost Cultivators have retreated, the Tyrant Blade Sect didn’t have time to relax. The attack of the Ghost Cultivators came too suddenly. Moreover, it seems like they were specially targeting the Tyrant Blade Sect. And after repelling the forces of the Tyrant Blade Sect, the Ghost Cultivators even occupied the sect’s branch halls. During this time, the Ghost Cultivators harvested the mortals governed by the Tyrant Blade Sect. And when the Tyrant Blade Sect fought back, the Ghost Cultivators quickly retreated. This matter was very suspicious.

It wasn’t only the Tyrant Blade Sect who was suspicious, the True Dao Sect also had some thoughts about the situation. The True Dao Sect also received a ruthless attack from the Ghost Cultivators. It can be said that the main targets of the Ghost Cultivators were the True Dao Sect and the Tyrant Blade Sect.
