Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16160

Chapter 16158 Reactions from All Sides

A magnificent hall was built atop a high mountain, exceeding ten thousand meters in height, perpetually covered in snow and surrounded by relentless winds. The hall itself was constructed entirely of translucent crystal, resembling a colossal crystal palace. The most peculiar aspect of the hall was that it was larger than the mountain itself. Due to its immense height, the mountaintop’s summit was relatively small, only a hundred square meters, while the hall itself spanned tens of thousands of square meters. Furthermore, a protective shield blocked the surrounding winds, making the hall and the mountaintop appear like a giant mushroom.

This was the headquarters of the Snow God Sect, the most powerful sect in the Divine Kingdom. The hall also had a name: the Ice Crystal Temple. It was not only a grand hall but also a magical artifact of the Snow God Sect.

Inside a conference room of this main hall, several cultivators dressed in white robes were seated. Seated at the head of the table was an elderly man with white hair and beard, also dressed in white robes. His skin was remarkably smooth and rosy, like that of a baby. This old man was none other than Ai Guang, the sect leader of the Snow God Sect.

The other people in the room were the hall masters and supreme elders of the various branches of the Snow God Sect, numbering over twenty. Of course, many other supreme elders were not present; they didn’t want to concern themselves with the sect’s affairs and therefore didn’t come.

Ai Guang glanced at everyone and then said, “I think you all know about the Creation God Sect. Tell me, is this a good thing or a bad thing for us?”

Everyone fell silent for a moment after hearing Ai Guang’s words. Then, one of the hall masters spoke up, “Sect Master, over the years, the royal family has used various means to suppress the strength of our sects. The Creation God Sect is a weapon in the royal family’s hands. Now that the Creation God Sect is under attack, I think this is definitely a good thing for us.”

After he finished speaking, several hall masters nodded in agreement. The Creation God Sect, with the royal family’s support, had been competing with them for interests for years. Now that the Creation God Sect was in trouble, they were naturally happy.

Ai Guang glanced at everyone and then said, “There’s something I haven’t told you all. The reason the Creation God Sect has developed so well over the years is because our sects have intentionally indulged it.”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at him with some confusion.

Looking at everyone’s expressions, Ai Guang continued, “The sect leaders of our various sects gathered together to discuss this matter before. At that time, we already realized that the Creation God Sect was a tool used by the royal family to deal with us. We came up with a plan then. Directly taking drastic measures to destroy the Creation God Sect would definitely not work, as that would invite a crazy retaliation from the royal family and those aristocratic families. So we can’t do that. After discussion, we decided to use praise to kill the Creation God Sect!”

“The people managed by the Creation God Cult are not members of the royal family. They are loyal to the royal family, but that depends on the circumstances. If they remain loyal indefinitely, it will indeed be difficult for us to deal with them. But what if their strength and influence grow? Will they still be so loyal? As their strength increases, their ambition will also grow. Therefore, we have decided to flatter them to our detriment, giving the Creation God Cult some benefits to allow their strength to expand rapidly. As their strength increases, they will want more, and the royal family cannot continue to provide them with benefits indefinitely. This will cause dissatisfaction within the Creation God Cult, leading to conflict between them and the royal family.” “Our plan was very successful. As the Creation God Cult grows stronger, their relationship with the royal family has become extremely tense. However, it must be admitted that although their relationship has become tense, their interests remain the same when it comes to dealing with us, so they will still cooperate. If we deal with the Creation God Cult at this time, it is very likely that they will see us as a common enemy, and they may join forces to deal with us first. That is what I am worried about.”

Upon hearing Ai Guang’s words, everyone in the room fell silent. They had not expected things to turn out this way; it was indeed beyond their expectations.

At this moment, one of the hall masters spoke up: “That’s true. To be honest, our sects aren’t exactly enemies of the royal family, but they are enemies of the Creation God Sect, and even the aristocratic families. If we get involved in anything, these families are very likely to unite against us. Currently, some of the aristocratic families are dissatisfied with the royal family. The Creation God Sect was supported by the royal family to deal with us and the aristocratic families, but now even the Creation God Sect is somewhat dissatisfied with the royal family. However, if we attack the Creation God Sect now, the three parties might unite again against us. Therefore, my thought is that we absolutely cannot act recklessly now, and we absolutely cannot give them the opportunity to shift the conflict onto us.”

Everyone nodded. What’s the best way to deal with internal problems? The goal is to shift the conflict elsewhere. This is the current situation in the Divine Kingdom. The aristocratic families, the royal family, the Creation God Cult, and the sects together form the Divine Kingdom. However, the sects are gradually being squeezed out of the core circle. The aristocratic families, the royal family, and the Creation God Cult jointly control the Divine Kingdom. They appear to be a unified whole, but in reality, they are riddled with internal conflicts. Without external help to shift these internal conflicts, sooner or later, their internal conflicts will erupt. At that time, the Divine Kingdom will likely descend into chaos. However, if the sects get involved at this time, they might shift the conflict to the sects themselves. At that time, they will be in danger.

Therefore, the best approach now is not to confront the Creation God Cult, but to remain uninvolved and observe the situation.

Ai Guang nodded in agreement, then said, “That makes sense. This incident has dealt a significant blow to the Creation God Cult, but the conflict between the Cult and the royal family isn’t very intense. This means the Cult is still useful to the royal family, and they won’t let it collapse. So, if something truly serious happens to the Cult, the royal family might intervene. However, the aristocratic families are different. The Creation God Cult has grown rapidly in recent years, taking much profit not only from us but also from the aristocratic families. While the Cult is working for the royal family, they haven’t helped the aristocratic families. Therefore, those aristocratic families are more inclined to oppose the Cult.” “The existence of a cult is perfectly normal. Therefore, in my opinion, the powerful families won’t let this opportunity to deal with the Creation Cult pass by. However, if we confront the Creation Cult, the conflict will immediately shift to us, which is absolutely unacceptable. So what we need to do now is to observe coldly and absolutely not act rashly.”

Everyone responded again, and then Ai Guang said in a deep voice, “I will communicate with the other sects about this matter and strive for a unified action from all our sects. Only in this way can we prevent this fire from spreading to us. Alright, go back now.” Everyone responded, then they all stood up, bowed to Ai Guang, and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, in another place, within a large city, there was a smaller city. This smaller city was the ancestral home of the Pei family, a powerful clan in the Divine Kingdom. The Pei family was a prominent family in the Divine Kingdom, and the current head of the Pei family was also the Prime Minister of the Divine Kingdom, Pei Yingzhi.

Pei Yingzhi was sitting in his study. Opposite him sat several people, none of whom were from the Pei family, but rather the heads of other families. Pei Yingzhi glanced at them and then said, “I know why you’ve all come. Speak up, everyone. What are your thoughts?”

A cultivator who looked to be in his fifties spoke to Pei Yingzhi, “Brother Pei, what are your thoughts on the Creation God Sect? To be honest, I think this is an opportunity for us.”

The other family heads all nodded in agreement. They also knew about the Creation God Sect and felt it was an opportunity as well.

Pei Yingzhi glanced at everyone, then spoke, “Let me ask you something first. What do you think His Majesty’s thoughts are on the Creation God Sect? In other words, where will the Creation God Sect go in the future?”

Everyone was taken aback by Pei Yingzhi’s words. Then, a family head spoke up, “The Creation God Sect can be said to have been nurtured by His Majesty, with the aim of suppressing other sects. However, in recent years, the Creation God Sect has grown stronger, and they have begun to show signs of disobeying His Majesty’s orders. The Creation God Sect has been attacked so many times, yet His Majesty has remained silent. Therefore, in my opinion, His Majesty may have already abandoned the Creation God Sect.”

The others all nodded in agreement; they shared similar thoughts. Hearing their opinions, Pei Yingzhi couldn’t help but… He shook his head and then said, “Let me put it this way. The Creation God Sect is like a dog His Majesty keeps. His Majesty expects this dog to bite wild boars. At first, the dog was indeed very obedient and did bite a few wild boars. But as the dog has grown bigger, it still bites wild boars, but it’s no longer as obedient to its master. If you were the masters of this dog, what would you do?”

Upon hearing Pei Yingzhi’s words, everyone was taken aback, and their expressions changed slightly. They were all heads of families, and their families were very large. Under their families, there were some forces they had cultivated. If one of the forces they had cultivated was not very obedient, what should they do next? They should give that force a warning, but to completely abandon it was almost impossible. Although that was one method, almost no one would do it. A decisive break was not something an ordinary person could do. They should give it a warning and then arrange for a more obedient person to take over the force. That was what they needed to do.
