Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8324: 301-entering _1

Within the main hall of the Blood Buddha Temple, Lei Gang stood tall while Ha Jing sat positioned beneath the massive Buddha statue. Currently, Ha Jing held the God-killing blade, inspecting it with focused intensity. After a lengthy silence, he lowered the weapon and nodded toward Lei Gang. "It is authentic," he declared. "This God-killing blade has endured countless conflicts. Over the ages, the edge became marred by innumerable small nicks. Yet, due to the overwhelming intensity of the killing aura, this weapon of slaughter underwent a strange mutation. Those tiny chips transformed into countless serrated teeth, significantly boosting the blade's lethality. Because of this transformation, the teeth are irregular in size. I recall it vividly; a unique mark exists on the seventeenth tooth, and this blade possesses it. Considering the materials and the dense killing intent radiating from it, I am certain this blade is the real thing."

Lei Gang was momentarily stunned before a wave of joy washed over him. "It is a relief that it’s genuine. Truly excellent. I didn't anticipate that boy actually succeeding. I haven't even had the chance to ask how he managed to steal it. Master, what is our next course of action?" Lei Gang’s happiness was profound. He had been under immense strain recently, largely due to his involvement in the internal division of the Blood Massacre Sect. Had he not informed Ha Jing of the family matters, the Sect might have remained whole. This burden had weighed heavily on him. He hoped to resolve the issues with the Blood Sea Alliance as swiftly as possible.

Ha Jing spoke with a heavy tone, "I will visit the Great Elder to inform him of this development. It is likely he will initiate a strike immediately. The enemy is still unaware that the saber has been taken. If they realize it, they will likely flee before we can act. If Bai Xin and Yin Wuchang escape, we will face significant trouble later."

"I shall return and begin the necessary preparations," Lei Gang replied with a nod and a resolute voice. "Once we mobilize, we will ensure their total destruction." Lei Gang had anticipated this moment for a long time. Now that it was finally arriving, his excitement was palpable; he was eager to deploy his forces and wipe those enemies out.

Ha Jing nodded in agreement. "Yes, that is wise. Furthermore, upon your return, ask Zhao Hai if he possesses the coordinates for Blood Shadow Island. For our assault to be successful, we must strike Blood Shadow Island and Impermanence Island simultaneously. Capturing Bai Xin and Yin Wuchang is essential; otherwise, dealing with the rest will be futile."

"I will inquire at once," Lei Gang stated. Just as he finished speaking, a white light pulsed from his communication formation, and a Jade Slip materialized. Lei Gang retrieved the slip and scanned its contents, his joy increasing. He immediately handed it to Ha Jing, saying, "Master, Zhao Hai has already recorded the coordinates for both Blood Shadow Island and Impermanence Island. He marked a spot a thousand miles away from the islands. If our fleet assembles there, the inhabitants of the two islands will not detect us."

Ha Jing took the Jade Slip and checked the information. Exhaling a long breath, he looked at Lei Gang and remarked, "You are truly fortunate, kid. That disciple of yours is incredibly valuable. Why did I never encounter such a disciple in my time? Instead, I ended up with fools like you. Very well, go back and get ready."

Despite the scolding, Lei Gang felt no anger. Though he was no longer young, he remained deeply grateful for Ha Jing’s mentorship. Without Ha Jing, his current status would be non-existent. He had always sought ways to repay his Master. He understood that Ha Jing’s harsh words were a sign of his good mood. Feeling equally happy, he gave his assent and departed.

Ha Jing watched Lei Gang leave with a small smile. Then, with a sudden movement, he vanished from the Blood Buddha Temple. He went to locate Du Wan to coordinate the strike. Even with the God-killing blade in their possession, they needed to be cautious when confronting Bai Xin and Yin Wuchang. Those two were formidable opponents. Should they manage to flee, hunting them down would be a nightmare. Therefore, a flawless plan was required to eliminate them in one fell swoop.

Meanwhile, Lei Gang had returned to his island. He immediately summoned Zhao Hai to the House of Three Talents. Upon his arrival, he questioned Zhao Hai regarding the theft of the saber. Zhao Hai explained simply that he had utilized techniques from the Spirit Array Sect to secure the weapon.

After hearing the explanation, Lei Gang nodded and said, "Excellent. You performed admirably. I have verified it; it is indeed the God-killing blade. Your contribution this time is massive. Do not worry about your reward for now; go and rest. Soon, we may launch a direct assault on the Sea Alliance. You may participate if you wish, but it is not mandatory. You are dismissed."

Zhao Hai bowed to Lei Gang and exited the House of Three Talents. After sending word to Shen Nanzheng that he was returning to his cave abode rather than the Main Killing Compound, he arrived at his dwelling. He was already preparing to execute his next plan: moving Gou’zi and Zhu Yong into the internal space of the Blood Lotus.

Several hours had passed since Zhao Hai’s return to Blood Drop Island, but this was his first opportunity to visit his cave. The area remained peaceful. Upon reaching the entrance, he spotted Gou’zi. The young man was tending to the medicinal herbs planted outside, diligently removing weeds. It was clear he had been maintaining the garden with great care.

Seeing Zhao Hai, Gou’zi bowed respectfully. "Young Master, you have returned." He hurried over. Zhao Hai looked at Gou’zi, feeling a sense of warmth. He nodded and asked, "I'm back. How have things been? It seems your Cultivation has progressed well."

Gou’zi had clearly been dedicated to his training. His skin possessed a dark, metallic sheen. While he didn't quite match the pitch-black complexion of the monks from the Iron Buddha Temple, it was proof of his hard work, especially since the metals Zhao Hai provided were of a lighter hue.

Gou’zi replied, "Yes, my training is going well. Senior Brother Zhu can no longer defeat me in a match. He has also grown much stronger." The young man had improved his speech significantly, though he still maintained a somewhat simple-minded aura. Zhao Hai didn't mind; he actually favored Gou’zi’s straightforward nature.

Zhao Hai followed Gou’zi into the cave and looked around. Finding everything in order, he asked, "Where is Zhu Yong? Is he out handling business again?" Knowing that Zhu Yong’s intelligence network and trade ventures were flourishing, Zhao Hai expected him to be busy.

Gou’zi nodded. "Yes, Senior Brother Zhu’s business is doing very well. He is even working with my godmother now. She purchased some pills from him, and her business is thriving. She is very happy." Gou’zi clearly still held deep affection for the lady boss who had taken him in.

Zhao Hai nodded and looked at Gou’zi. "Gou’zi, have you left this courtyard lately? Have you interacted with anyone else on the island?" Zhao Hai was concerned that Gou’zi might be mistreated or deceived by others due to his simple nature.

Gou’zi shook his head. "No, I spend all my time Cultivating. I have no reason to go out." Gou’zi was content with his current existence. Between his training and tending to the herbs, his life was simple—exactly the way he liked it.

Because he lacked complex thoughts or grand ambitions, he focused entirely on his tasks. This singular focus was precisely why his Cultivation speed was so impressive; his simple mind was perfectly suited for the path of power.

Zhao Hai realized he wouldn't learn much more from Gou’zi and let him return to his work. He sat in the cave until dusk approached. Eventually, Zhu Yong returned. Seeing Zhao Hai, he was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Young Master, you're back! This is wonderful news."

Zhao Hai smiled at Zhu Yong and said, "You’ve clearly been working hard while I was away. You’ve looked after Gou’zi well, and your own Cultivation hasn't stagnated. Good. Go and fetch Gou’zi; I have something to discuss with both of you." Zhu Yong immediately went to get the boy.

Gou’zi stopped his training and came inside at once. Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and gestured with his hand. The Blood Lotus manifested on the floor. "Step onto it," Zhao Hai commanded. Though confused, both men obeyed and stood upon the lotus. Zhao Hai joined them, and with a flash of white light, they were transported into the manor within the Blood Lotus's internal space.

Gou’zi and Zhu Yong stood frozen, staring at the manor in bewilderment. Zhao Hai explained, "This is the space inside the Blood Lotus. From now on, you two can reside here. The Blood Lotus is my life-bound treasure, so I will always have it with me. I will install a teleportation array so you can return to the cave on Blood Drop Island whenever necessary. Are you willing to move in?"

The two were stunned before their faces lit up with joy. "We are willing! Thank you, Young Master!" They had always desired to stay close to Zhao Hai but feared their lack of strength would prevent it. This was why they trained so fiercely. Now that the opportunity had arrived, they accepted without hesitation.

Zhao Hai smiled. "I will introduce you to the other residents first, then help you settle in." He waved his hand, and the manor suddenly became animated. Everything from the door sign to the floor tiles and furniture began to speak, greeting the newcomers. The two were completely shocked; they had no idea these objects were sentient.

Once the various spirits had finished their greetings, Zhao Hai said, "You can live here and talk with them. Don't be nervous; they are all part of the family. Go ahead and pick out your rooms." The two men nodded and entered the manor as it returned to its silent state.
