Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15880
Chapter 15878: Caught in the Trap
“That’s the Five Ghosts Sect. It seems the people there have already reacted; they must have discovered us. Let’s charge straight there, we must get there before they complete their assembly,” Yuanming said.
Several disciples beside him, responsible for commanding the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform, all responded. They then controlled the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform and charged straight towards the Five Ghosts Sect. This was part of their agreement with the other sects: to reach the Five Ghosts Sect continent as quickly as possible and destroy its teleportation array.
Meanwhile, Ding Chunming and his group were standing in the command hall of the Heavenly Gang Earthly Fiend Formation, watching the situation on the projection. They had already discovered the Five Domains Allied Army, and seeing them charging straight towards them now surprised Ding Chunming and his group.
Ding Chunming carefully observed the Five Domains Allied Army, noticing that their large magical artifacts were all using divine light. He couldn’t help but sneer, “These guys seem to want to charge at us directly? Did they discover that we’re using a magic array?”
Cheng Wanchun shook his head, “Probably not. They couldn’t possibly find a flaw in the magic array created by Elder Zhen. Elder Zhen, are you using an illusion array now? What they’re seeing should be the Five Ghosts Sect Continent, right? That means they’re actually aiming to attack the Five Ghosts Sect Continent?”
Elder Zhen appeared in front of the two, nodding, “That’s right, they’re charging at the Five Ghosts Sect Continent. It seems they want to use their speed advantage to directly rush into the Five Ghosts Sect Continent and then attack us.”
Cheng Wanchun nodded, then said, “It seems there’s no mistake. But if they charge like this, do they intend to crash directly into the Five Ghosts Sect Continent? If so, their large magical artifacts will probably be destroyed, right?”
Elder Zhen said in a deep voice, “Their speed is actually slowing down. At their current slowed speed, by the time they reach this point, if this place is truly…” “It’s the Five Ghosts Sect Continent. If they crash into the Five Ghosts Sect Continent’s protective barrier, their speed will be completely reduced. In this way, their large magical artifacts will enter the Five Ghosts Sect Continent, but they won’t crash into the Five Ghosts Sect Continent. It seems that these people participating in this operation were prepared in advance; they had been calculating this for a long time.”
Upon hearing Elder Zhen’s words, Cheng Wanchun couldn’t help but be somewhat surprised and said, “So that’s how it is. No wonder. I didn’t expect there to be such powerful guys in the Five Domains.”
Ding Chunming shook his head and said, “Don’t underestimate them .” “Even if someone reaches Young Master’s level, Young Master wouldn’t look down on anyone, let alone us. Elder Zhen, what do we do now?”
Elder Zhen smiled slightly and said, “Just let them think they’ve really entered the Five Ghosts Sect Continent.”
On the other side, Zhuge Qingsong frowned as he looked in the direction of the Five Ghosts Sect Continent. He felt something was strange. Why did the reaction on the Five Ghosts Sect Continent seem slower than he expected? Although they arrived very suddenly, the reaction speed of the people on the Five Ghosts Sect Continent seemed too slow, right? For so long, the people on the Five Ghosts Sect Continent had been gathering on the outskirts of their continent, and it seemed they hadn’t finished gathering yet. What was going on? The Five Ghosts Sect was, after all, a large sect, right? Was their reaction speed really that slow?
He looked closely at the projection. He had a strange feeling. There was nothing wrong with the Five Ghosts Sect Continent in the projection, but he always felt that the Five Ghosts Sect Continent gave him an unreal feeling. What was going on? Zhuge Qingsong couldn’t figure it out for a moment.
As he pondered these matters, their continent was drawing ever closer to the Five Ghosts Sect’s continent. They could now clearly see the situation there, even the expressions on the faces of the disciples, thanks to the projection they were using, which allowed for a much wider field of vision. Zhuge
Qingsong, however, remained frowning. The unsettling feeling he felt was growing stronger, yet he still couldn’t identify any problems. While everyone had agreed to this operation, he was the one who ultimately finalized the plan. He had calculated and designed all their large magical artifacts, determining how to slow their flight and from what distance. He was an exceptionally skilled calculator and possessed a deep understanding of magic arrays. Zhuge Qingsong was a true genius; to reach the level of a kingdom-level expert at such a young age and be proficient in magic arrays was truly remarkable.
It was precisely because of this that Zhuge Qingsong felt something was strange about the Five Ghosts Sect. However, he had very little time. Before he could even discover what was wrong with the Five Ghosts Sect, they all felt their large magical artifacts tremble, followed by a loud boom. Zhuge Qingsong knew that this was because their large magical artifacts had collided with the protective barrier of the Five Ghosts Sect’s continent. That was why they reacted this way. Now, their large magical artifacts must have already entered the Five Ghosts Sect’s continent.
Zhuge Qingsong let out a long breath, then immediately said, “Everyone, prepare to move…” He stopped abruptly, as the scene before him took him by surprise. The projection on their large magical artifacts didn’t show the Five Ghosts Continent, but rather a void. It was as if they had suddenly entered a vast void; the Five Ghosts Continent, the Five Ghosts Sect members, and even the other large magical artifacts had all vanished.
Zhuge Qingsong shuddered, immediately shouting, “We’ve been tricked! We’ve been tricked! This isn’t the Five Ghosts Sect at all! It’s a magic array, a trap!” If Zhuge Qingsong
still didn’t realize they’d fallen for it, he wouldn’t deserve to call himself an expert on magic arrays. He finally realized they’d been tricked by the Five Ghosts Sect. The Five Ghosts Sect they’d seen before was fake. No wonder he’d had that strange feeling that the people there weren’t real; it turned out the Five Ghosts Sect was a complete illusion.
Zhuge Qingsong’s face instantly turned extremely grim. He immediately shouted, “Try to contact the others immediately, see if you can get in touch. Activate the protective shields of the large magical artifacts to their maximum. Everyone be prepared to input energy into the large magical artifacts at any time. Arrange for people to rest in shifts immediately; we’re likely to be stuck here for a long time.” He issued orders one by one, and all of them were defensive.
The disciples inside the large magical artifacts all responded and immediately went to relay the orders. Although Zhuge Qingsong’s face calmed down, his heart was far from calm. His calmness was all an act, because he knew very well that it would be very difficult for them to escape this time. But he couldn’t show it, otherwise morale would collapse. So he had to remain calm and give everyone confidence.
The main reason Zhuge Qingsong had this thought was because of the magic array. He was now certain that they had entered a magic array pre-arranged by the enemy, and this array was enormous, trapping them inside. The fact that the enemy could set up such a large array meant that they were superior to him in the art of magic arrays; he couldn’t possibly set up such a large array. Now that they were all inside this massive array, getting out would be extremely difficult.
Moreover, Zhuge Qingsong was certain that they couldn’t contact anyone else, because the enemy wouldn’t give them that opportunity. Sure enough, the disciple responsible for contacting others soon said to Zhuge Qingsong with a dejected look, “Elder, we can’t contact anyone else now. We can’t send any messages at all, not even with the jade sword.”
Zhuge Qingsong nodded and said, “Alright, I understand. Go down and keep trying. Find more disciples and keep trying to see when we can make contact with the outside world.” The disciple responded and turned to leave.
After the disciple left, Zhuge Qingsong said, “Notify everyone to focus on defense. The longer we hold out, the better for us. We should be inside a large enemy formation, but such formations consume a lot of energy. As long as we can withstand their attacks, their formation will eventually run out of energy and disappear. That will be our chance to break out. Where are the logistics personnel?”
A disciple immediately went to fetch someone, and soon a cultivator arrived before Zhuge Qingsong. He bowed and said, “Elder, what are your orders?” Zhuge
Qingsong asked, “How many supplies do we have? If a major battle breaks out, how long can our large magical artifacts last? Also, are our supplies enough for our people to cultivate?” The cultivator
immediately replied, “Elder, we still have plenty of supplies. However, if we maintain this high-intensity shield, our supplies will only last for three months at most. If we continue fighting, the supplies will be consumed even faster, lasting at most one month.” “As for the supplies our disciples need for cultivation, we have enough for three months. However, if we are preparing for a long-term battle, I suggest we implement resource control now, distributing all disciples’ cultivation supplies. This way, we can hold out longer.”
Zhuge Qingsong nodded and said, “Alright, from now on, we’ll implement a resource distribution system. We must prepare for a long-term battle. Go and make the arrangements. If anyone asks, just say I agreed.”
The cultivator immediately responded and then withdrew. Zhuge Qingsong looked at the projection and said in a deep voice, “The enemy has created such a formation; they definitely don’t just want to trap us. They must have other plans. They will definitely use the power of the formation to attack us. We must be careful. Remember, for this period, only defend, do not counterattack. I suspect we are in an illusionary formation. Those attacking us might be our own people. If we counterattack, it will be our own people fighting each other. So for this period, be patient and do not easily counterattack. If the enemy really attacks us, try to contact them.”
