Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8305: The treasure left behind (1)

Zhao Hai glanced at Yan Bei and chuckled, "Alright, stop staring at those. They are just standard items; you won't discover anything extraordinary about them. I'm giving them all to you. All I require is a duplicate of the cultivation technique. Here, take a look at this. This is the interspatial bag Elder Zhen gifted us. It’s packed with too many treasures, many of which we can't use right now. I believe we should store them away. They will be vital resources once we become Island Lords." After speaking, Zhao Hai passed the interspatial bag over to Yan Bei.

Setting the interspatial ring aside, Yan Bei accepted the interspatial bag. Upon inspecting its contents, he was momentarily paralyzed with shock. He hadn't anticipated such a massive haul of high-quality items. After a long silence, he handed the bag back to Zhao Hai and stated, "You should be the one to keep this interspatial bag. The Array Master gave it specifically to you, so I won't accept it." Even though Yan Bei recognized the immense value of the contents, he remained firm. He felt satisfied with what he had already gained from their journey to the Spirit Array Sect. To take these items as well felt like overstepping.

Zhao Hai looked at him with a hint of suspicion before relenting. "Fine, I’ll hold onto it for the time being. When the time comes for you to establish your own Island as an Island Lord, you can come and claim it from me. These resources are plenty to ensure our future Islands are well-developed."

Yan Bei gave a nod and returned the interspatial ring to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai retrieved the Jade slip from within, produced several copies, and then handed the ring back to Yan Bei once more. Yan Bei looked at Zhao Hai and remarked, "There are many treasures in here. You should take a few for yourself. Though the Formation Elder gave you many things, most of them aren't suited for your current level of Cultivation."

Zhao Hai gave a thin smile. "It’s alright. The blood lotus is the only thing I truly need; everything else is secondary. Just keep it. If I find myself in need of something, I won’t hesitate to ask. Likewise, if you need anything later on, just let me know. We are brothers, so there's no point in being overly formal. It would only make our relationship feel shallow."

Yan Bei didn't argue further. He simply nodded and put the interspatial ring away. Having faced death together, their bond was profound, making polite formalities unnecessary. Zhao Hai watched him for a moment before asking, "What do you intend to do next? My suggestion is that you accompany me to Blood Drop Island. Once we arrive, you can find out your Master's location and go reunite with him."

Yan Bei agreed, "Alright, I'll head back to Blood Drop Island with you first. But do you intend to head straight back, or are you planning to stir up some trouble in the Western Sea region?" It was common knowledge that the Spirit Array Sect was situated near the Western Sea of Blood Drop Island. Conversely, Zhao Hai’s Southeast Sea was a much further destination. Returning there would be difficult, as it required traversing the rebellious territories of the Western Sea. This prompted Yan Bei's question.

Zhao Hai replied in a somber tone, "I need to head back to the Sect and establish contact. It has been a long time since we checked in. I'll reach out to the Sect to assess the current state of affairs before making a final decision. However, since we have to pass through the West Sea anyway, we might as well eliminate a few traitors along the path. Otherwise, it would be difficult to justify our absence to the higher-ups."

Yan Bei smiled and said, "Fair enough, it is indeed time to handle those traitors. It would be hard to explain our actions otherwise. You should reach out to the Sect immediately. It would be ideal to understand the current landscape so we can prepare ourselves." Yan Bei was well aware that since they had just emerged from the Spirit Array Sect, they were effectively blind to the outside world’s developments. Contacting the Sect for intelligence was a necessity.

Zhao Hai nodded and produced a communication array. He drafted a message to Shen Nanzheng. He possessed a direct link to Shen Nanzheng, though he lacked one for Lei Gang, making Shen Nanzheng his only point of contact.

He had briefly considered reaching out to Zhu Yong, but decided against it in favor of Shen Nanzheng. While Zhu Yong could gather intel through rogue cultivators, the Blood Massacre Sect was likely locked in constant warfare with the rebels. Rogue cultivators wouldn't dare approach such conflict zones to gather news. Consequently, Zhu Yong’s information would be limited. Shen Nanzheng was a better bet for detailed intelligence.

After the message was sent, Zhao Hai and Yan Bei waited quietly in the room. Before long, a Jade slip materialized on the communication array. Zhao Hai retrieved it and scanned the contents. He grinned and said, "My Senior Brother actually thought I was dead. He was completely stunned to receive my letter. He’s heading off to report the news to Master right now."

This was the gist of Shen Nanzheng’s response. He had truly believed Zhao Hai had perished. After sending a quick reply, he rushed to inform Lei Gang of Zhao Hai’s survival and to see if the Island Lord had any specific instructions for him.

Yan Bei took the Jade slip and read it, smiling. "You seem to have a very strong bond with your fellow disciples on the Island. Who exactly is this Senior Brother Shen? For him to be able to request an immediate meeting with the Island Lord, his rank must be quite significant." Yan Bei’s knowledge of Blood Drop Island was superficial; though Zhao Hai had shared some stories, they focused on his personal trials rather than the Island's internal hierarchy.

Zhao Hai laughed, "He is the designated successor to the Island Lord of Blood Drop Island. Didn't I mention this before? When I first arrived at Blood Drop Island, the Senior Brother I was assigned to tried to sabotage me. Eventually, I had to seek backing from another, and that was Senior Brother Shen. He is the head Senior Brother of the Island and the heir to the Island Lord's position."

Yan Bei nodded in understanding. "I see. That explains why he can see the Island Lord so easily. It seems your Island Lord holds you in high regard, doesn't he?" Yan Bei had encountered Lei Gang a few times and knew his reputation through his own Master, but he hadn't realized how much status Zhao Hai actually held within the Sect.

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It's decent; Master does value me quite a bit. Anyway, let’s focus on the task at hand. I suspect Master will have orders for me. Hehe, once we enter the West Sea, I doubt we’ll have a moment’s rest." Zhao Hai anticipated that Lei Gang would put him to work. After all, Zhao Hai was the one who had first uncovered the signs of the internal split within the Blood Massacre Sect. Had he not reported it to Lei Gang, who then informed Ha Jing, the Sect would have been caught completely off guard. Therefore, it was likely Lei Gang would utilize him now.

Just as predicted, another Jade slip soon appeared on the array. Zhao Hai’s expression grew grim as he read it. After a long pause, he handed the slip to Yan Bei. "It’s no wonder those rebels had the courage to turn; they have a powerful trump card."

Yan Bei’s face paled as he read the message. "The God-Slaying Saber? I thought that weapon was lost ages ago! How did they get their hands on it? It makes sense now; without the Blood Killing Blade, it would be nearly impossible to suppress them. No wonder they are so arrogant."

Zhao Hai nodded, speaking in a low voice, "The Blood Killing Blade is the ultimate treasure of the Sect and cannot be moved easily. The God-Slaying Saber belonged to the Sect Leader who pioneered the Blood Sea God-Slaying Technique. After centuries of being tempered, its power is immense. It is the most formidable weapon in the Blood Killing Sect, second only to the Blood Killing Blade itself. I never imagined it would surface in the hands of traitors. This mission just became extremely perilous."

Zhao Hai’s concern stemmed from the task Lei Gang had assigned him: he was to locate the God-Slaying Saber. This weapon was the life-bound artifact of the legendary Sect Leader who created the Blood Sea God-Slaying Mantra. Its power was legendary, though no one had been able to harness its full potential since that Sect Leader died from Qi deviation. Even at partial power, it remained terrifying.

There was a fundamental difference between the God-Slaying Saber and the Blood Killing Blade. The Blood Killing Blade was the Sect's supreme symbol, once the personal weapon of the founding Sect Leader. When he ascended, he left it behind, wiping his own soul imprint so that subsequent Sect Leaders could continue to nourish and use it. Over countless generations, it had become a peerless magic weapon.

The God-Slaying Saber, however, carried a darker history. Its owner had been consumed by inner demons and slaughtered his own kin before being executed by the Sect. Because he died in such a state, his chaotic consciousness remained trapped within the blade. While others could wield the saber, they could never fully master it or nourish it further. Nevertheless, the materials used to forge it were of the highest grade, and having been the life-bound tool of a top-tier expert, its base power was staggering. Most importantly, it was fueled by the specific Qi of the Blood Sea God-Slaying Technique, giving it a murderous intent far beyond normal weapons. Since the disciples of the Blood Killing Sect focused on Cultivation involving killing intent, the saber was a perfect match for them. In the hands of one of the eight Great Elders, its lethality would be catastrophic. It was truly a weapon of mass slaughter.

The saber had last been seen during a crisis for the Blood Killing Sect. Although the enemy was repelled, the Elder wielding the saber died, and the weapon vanished in the chaos. Nobody expected it to reappear as the centerpiece of a rebellion.
