My Daily Life of Farming in the World of Cultivation Chapter 197 - 197 32 Independent Practitioner Alliance

Chapter 197: Chapter 32: Independent Practitioner Alliance Chapter 197: Chapter 32: Independent Practitioner Alliance On the other side, in the hall of the Lin Family residence.

Lin Fangqiang, the only remaining Qi Refinent Level 7 Cultivator of the Lin Family, was looking respectfully at a thin middle-aged man sitting in the seat of honor across from him.

“Mr. Zhang, welco to our Sea Origin Island. May I ask if you have brought any news of our ancestor?”

Mr. Zhang’s na was Zhang Ming. At that mont, his eyes were slightly closed, and a pair of wine-red iron balls were slowly rolling in his right hand.

Several Cultivators who had co with him were also leisurely sipping their tea, looking perfectly at ease.

After a while, Zhang Ming opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Lin Fangqiang before speaking, “Your ancestor did indeed visit Yuling Island before. However, his injuries were too severe; by the ti we saw him, it was already too late.

After he finished arranging matters concerning Sea Origin Island, he passed away.”

Upon hearing Zhang Ming’s words, Lin Fangqiang and the others from the Lin Family turned extrely pale in an instant.

Even though they had already anticipated this when their ancestor was being pursued by that giant serpent demon beast, they still found the cruel reality hard to accept when it was indeed confird.

The Lin Family’s status was fundantally thanks to their ancestor’s Qi Refinent Level 9 Cultivation, which was the core reason they could occupy an island with a first-grade Spirit Vein.

Once their ancestor passed away, the Lin Family’s status was bound to plumt dramatically.

They might not even be able to maintain control over Sea Origin Island.

Without the multitude of resources provided by the island, the decline of the Lin Family was foreseeable.

It was this realization that caused such a strong reaction from those present from the Lin Family.

Seeing the ashen face of Lin Fangqiang, Zhang Ming felt not the slightest bit of sympathy.

This was the stark reality of the Cultivation World. To gain more resources, one must possess the power to match.

Once power diminishes, to have one’s resources swallowed by others would be considered relatively rciful.

Many have seen their families completely devoured by other predators following the fall of their top combat power.

There were nurous instances where entire families were slaughtered, leaving nothing behind.

With that in mind, Zhang Ming continued to speak to the people of the Lin Family, “Before your ancestor’s death, he had entrusted Sea Origin Island to the northern branch of the Independent Practitioner Alliance.

The Alliance has sent here to take control of the island.

I had so association with your ancestor, so I will be frank with you.

You have no room for negotiation in this matter.

It would be best to cooperate and hand over Sea Origin Island honestly. I can leave a residence for you on the island as a token of my relationship with your ancestor.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiang could no longer hold himself steady and collapsed into his chair.

It took a long ti for him to regain his senses. He stood up with a bitter smile: “Yes, Mr. Zhang, our Lin Family will definitely hand over the island according to your demands!”

There was no other choice. The Lin Family ancestor was dead, and in this disaster, a large portion of the family’s Cultivators had perished, greatly weakening the Lin Family’s current power.

Under such circumstances, facing the colossal Independent Practitioner Alliance, what right did they have to oppose?

The people of the Lin Family, though resentful of this outco, couldn’t fight against the harsh reality of the Independent Practitioner Alliance’s forceful taking.

They were powerless, not even daring to show a hint of resentnt.

Otherwise, it was very likely they wouldn’t see the sun of the next day.

Zhang Ming nodded slowly, quite satisfied with Lin Fangqiang’s pragmatic deanor.

Although with his Qi Refinent Level 9 power, he didn’t need to take Qi Refinent Level 7 Lin Fangqiang seriously.

However, Lin Fangqiang’s cooperation would save him significant effort.

After all, the Alliance sent him to occupy this island, mainly for the demon beast resources around it.

He must take control of the island as quickly as possible and return to the previous way of hunting demon beasts.

Only by doing this could he gather enough demon beast resources for the Alliance.

Under these circumstances, it was definitely more efficient to have the Lin Family’s help than doing it all by himself.

“Oh, right! Didn’t your ancestor ntion that Sea Origin Island had been taken over by a giant serpent leading other demon beasts?

For this matter, I even invited an elder to make a detour and co here.

Why have I not seen the giant serpent or the other demon beasts?”

As Zhang Ming said this, his expression beca a bit unpleased.

Although the absence of the demon beasts saved him so trouble, he felt the pain for the price he had to pay for having the passing elder to show face on his behalf.

What was most vexing was that the elder didn’t have to lift a finger yet swallowed up the price he had paid entirely, causing him no small amount of frustration.

“Sir, we don’t know much about this matter.

After the giant serpent left the island to chase after our ancestor, there was soone who secretly hunted the demon beasts that surged onto the island.

It relieved us of a great deal of pressure.

Later, when the giant serpent returned, it was ambushed by the person in the shadows.

Struck by the intense poison the person used, the serpent has been dead for many days now.

Its carcass lted at the original pier site, and the venom is still present; we dare not go near to clean it up!”
