Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8620: News (1)

Upon departing from Zhao Hai’s residence and making his way back to the Giant Demon Sect, Zhao Wuji hurried straight to his master. This master served as an Island Master too, with strength that was far from ordinary. He had achieved the Dharma-Opening Realm, earning his status as a top expert in the Giant Demon Sect. Still, devoted utterly to Cultivation, he despised handling everyday affairs, thus holding no offices within the Giant Demon Sect.

Zhao Wuji possessed exceptional talent. Given his looks, ascending to Island Lord level seemed inevitable, so his master doted on him greatly. Thanks to that, Zhao Wuji could meet his master effortlessly whenever he wished.

Once Zhao Wuji arrived to meet his master, the summons came swiftly. His master, named Tie Feng, stood at no great height, starkly contrasting the towering, burly cultivators typical of the Giant Demon Sect. This trait showcased his prowess. Within the Giant Demon Sect, only those surpassing Island Lord level could revert their forms to normal size. Everyone else appeared massively tall and broad due to their Cultivation Methods. It wasn’t natural growth; rather, their techniques warped their bodies. Only upon reaching Island Lord and perfecting their Cultivation Method did their physiques gradually normalize.

Such was Tie Feng’s case. He measured roughly 1.8 meters, tall by some standards elsewhere, yet short in the Giant Demon Sect. Especially beside Zhao Wuji, he seemed two heads smaller.

Tie Feng practiced fist techniques inside his secluded chamber. The Giant Demon Sect’s Cultivation Methods differed from others. Foundational sects emphasized meditation, but Giant Demon Sect methods demanded fist practice. Through this, they spread Dharma power throughout their bodies, nourishing it more effectively.

Entering the chamber, Zhao Wuji waited silently. He knew his master disliked interruptions during practice, so despite his urgency, he stood patiently without speaking until the session ended. Then, Zhao Wuji bowed deeply and greeted, “Greetings, Master.”

Tie Feng nodded, eyed Zhao Wuji, and smiled, saying, “Not bad, your strength has advanced further. You’re on the verge of a breakthrough. What brings you here today?” Tie Feng cherished his disciple, summoning him promptly and inquiring about his purpose.

Zhao Wuji responded softly, “Master, I just learned that several mid-tier sects under our Giant Demon Sect’s control have grown restless lately. They appear poised to break away from us.” Zhao Wuji cut straight to the point, sharing the intelligence without delay.

Tie Feng’s brows furrowed at Zhao Wuji’s report. Staring at him, he demanded, “Where did you hear this?” Skipping questions on the news’s validity, he probed the source directly, leaving Zhao Wuji momentarily stunned. It dawned on him—perhaps Master already knew.

Though the idea flickered through his mind, Zhao Wuji answered, “A friend shared it with me. He mentioned it might tie to the Corpse Demon Sect. Without their backing, those mid-tier sects wouldn’t dare challenge our Giant Demon Sect.”

Tie Feng fixed his gaze on Zhao Wuji and growled deeply, “What’s your friend’s background? How did he learn of this? The sect only got word recently—how did he find out first? And since when do you have such a well-connected acquaintance?” A chilling gleam flashed in Tie Feng’s eyes as he scrutinized Zhao Wuji.

Meeting Tie Feng’s stare, Zhao Wuji hid nothing and confessed gravely, “I wouldn’t conceal it from Master. That friend belongs to the Ghost Shadow Group. He stumbled into it by chance, but we’ve stayed close. This time, their intel network uncovered it, and he passed it to me.”

“What? From the ghost shadow group?” Tie Feng froze in shock at Zhao Wuji’s words. The ghost shadow group enjoyed immense fame across the blood sea realm, notorious for their enigmatic aura and overwhelming might. No one had ever laid eyes on its members over the years. Legends even whispered that anyone who glimpsed them met a swift end. He never dreamed his disciple had crossed paths with them, forged a friendship, and even received a personal letter. Such a bond far surpassed the ordinary, igniting his burning curiosity about this particular student.

Zhao Wuji nodded and confirmed, “Yes, he’s from the ghost shadow group. I’ve reached out to him countless times, and he’s truly a solid guy. Before joining them, he was my close buddy. Even after he did, our communication never ceased, though he kept the group’s secrets under wraps—they’re incredibly tight-lipped about it. This time, he stumbled upon this intel through the ghost shadow group’s network and hurried to warn me, urging a report to avoid catching us unprepared.”

Tie Feng knitted his brows, fixing his gaze on Zhao Wuji. “Is it really that straightforward? Better spill everything. Dare to deceive me, and you won’t get off easy.” He suspected Zhao Wuji held something back, stirring his irritation. Truth be told, Zhao Wuji had no choice—he couldn’t reveal the full story to Tie Feng, yet nothing he said was a lie. He and Zhao Hai had been friends long before the ghost shadow group surfaced, and they remained tight. Zhao Hai’s team had genuinely uncovered those sects’ moves by chance while gathering intelligence. No fabrication there.

At Tie Feng’s probing, Zhao Wuji promptly replied, “Master, actually, my friend seeks to partner with our giant demon sect. They’ll assist in handling the corpse demon sect, but they’ll demand a fee. Consider it their trade.”

Tie Feng sighed in relief upon hearing Zhao Wuji’s words. He grasped the reasoning behind Zhao Wuji’s earlier vagueness. No one shares such vital intelligence without an angle; motives always lurked. Absent any demands, he’d fear a deeper plot. Now aware of their goal—a collaboration against the corpse demon sect—he felt at ease. This spelled great tidings.

The giant demon sect had recently uncovered those sects’ plot to slip their grasp. While giant demon sect members favored bluntness, they weren’t naive. They realized such defiance required powerful backing; without it, those sects wouldn’t dare. Thus, probes into their hidden supporters intensified, aiming to expose the culprits before launching a decisive strike to eradicate the sects and punish their patrons in one thunderous blow.

Yet, identifying the corpse demon sect as those sects’ backer brought them pounding headaches. The corpse demon sect’s power had ballooned at an alarming rate. Clashing with them outright now promised disaster for the giant demon sect. This harsh reality fueled their persistent turmoil.

They understood clearly that confronting the corpse demon sect demanded allies. But scanning the blood sea realm, potential partners proved pitifully few. Bonds among the other nine great sects remained frayed, breeding suspicion. Even in alliance, those factions might flee at the mere mention of facing the corpse demon sect, given its terrifying dominance.

Beyond a handful from the nine major sects, no other powers dared challenge the corpse demon sect. Hence, the giant demon sect grappled with massive woes. They still debated seeking out the rest for a united front against the corpse demon sect.

Just then, Zhao Wuji’s revelation that ghost shadow group members offered to aid against the corpse demon sect filled Tie Feng with joy. Though his knowledge of the ghost shadow group was limited, their reputation for strength rang true. Fearless of the nine great sects, they’d previously teamed with the yin ghost sect to crush the Yin Yang sect, claiming the lives of numerous Island Lord-level powerhouses from the latter.

Upon hearing Zhao Wuji’s words, Tie Feng not only let out a sigh of relief but also sensed a spark of joy. He quickly turned to Zhao Wuji and asked, “Is what you said true? Is the Ghost Shadow Group truly ready to join forces with us against the Corpse Demon Sect? Keep in mind, this is the Corpse Demon Sect—the dominant power in the Blood Sea Realm right now. Do they really have the courage to stand against the Corpse Demon Sect?”

Had Tie Feng questioned something different, Zhao Wuji might have hesitated to promise anything. However, when it came to the Ghost Shadow Group’s willingness to challenge the Corpse Demon Sect, he felt absolute certainty. He understood the true backgrounds of Zhao Hai and his companions; they belonged to the Blood Kill Sect, which nursed a profound grudge against the Corpse Demon Sect. Why would they ever back down from clashing with it? Therefore, Zhao Wuji responded without delay, "No need to fret, Master. I assure you, they’ll absolutely confront the Corpse Demon Sect. They spared no mercy against the Yin Yang Sect in the past, so they’ll surely do the same here. Furthermore, the Ghost Shadow Group has always stayed enigmatic. The Corpse Demon Sect might not even track them down, making them utterly unafraid."

Tie Feng gave a firm nod and spoke solemnly, “You make sense. I get it now. I’ll report this to the Sect Leader. Keep it under wraps—don’t breathe a word to others. Oh, and if our sect chooses to ally with the Ghost Shadow Group to take on the Corpse Demon Sect, what’s the way to reach them? Can you locate the Ghost Shadow Group?”

Zhao Wuji swiftly pulled out a communication spell formation and declared: “Master, here’s a communication circle. It connects straight to the Ghost Shadow Group members.” With that, he passed the array to Tie Feng. Tie Feng accepted it, inspected the palm-sized array board, and noted its ordinary appearance. He nodded, tucked it away, and instructed, “Very well, you’re free to go. Don’t drag anyone else into this.”

Zhao Wuji agreed, whirled around, and departed.
