Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16176
Chapter 16174 Reaction
“What did you say? The Creation God Cult used all their power to attack the Myriad Laws God Cult? The Myriad Laws God Cult’s temple hasn’t even been built yet!” Shang Baiyi looked at the servant standing before him with some surprise. This servant had been with him since childhood and was absolutely loyal, so he believed that this servant would never lie to him. However, this news still greatly surprised him. He knew that many gangs in the city were controlled by the Creation God Cult. However, the members of the Creation God Cult also had a sense of shame. They usually pretended to have no connection with these gangs because colluding with them was not a glorious thing. Therefore, the members of the Creation God Cult tried their best to keep their relationship with those gangs a secret.
In fact, everyone with a bit of status knew about their relationship with those gangs, but because the members of the Creation God Cult openly had no connection with those gangs, no one would bring it up. After all, offending the members of the Creation God Cult was not a good thing.
This time, however, the people of the Creation God Cult suddenly went mad, mobilizing all the forces they could muster to attack the Myriad Laws God Cult. This was too strange; logically, the people of the Creation God Cult shouldn’t be so impulsive. Thinking of this, he immediately said, “Go and investigate, see if anything else happened before the Creation God Cult attacked the Myriad Laws God Cult.”
The servant responded and immediately turned and left. After the servant left, Shang Baiyi couldn’t help but stand up, walk to the window, open the window, look in the direction of the Myriad Laws God Cult, and then murmured, “I really didn’t expect that there would be such a big commotion on the first day. It seems that I made the right move.”
Meanwhile, in a mansion in the city, several people were gathered together. These people were from several small aristocratic families in the city. The leader was an old man who looked to be over sixty years old. Although the old man looked to be over sixty years old, he was in good spirits. They were listening to the report from his subordinates.
After the man finished reporting, the old man said, “Go investigate and see why the people of the Creation God Sect have suddenly gone mad.” The man who reported acknowledged and immediately turned to leave. After he left, the old man continued, “The Creation God Sect suffered a great loss at the hands of the Myriad Laws God Sect last time, and this time they want to get their revenge. But getting revenge won’t be so easy. The Myriad Laws God Sect is not to be trifled with either. What are your thoughts on the Creation God Sect’s attack this time?”
This old man’s surname was Gao, and his name was Gao Chengwu. He was the head of the Gao family in the city and also the city’s clerk. Because such positions were hereditary, they were controlled by families like theirs. Although such positions seemed insignificant, they allowed direct control over the ordinary people below. Therefore, these people were, in the eyes of ordinary people, the “current supervisors.” As the saying goes, “A current official is not as powerful as a current supervisor,” so these people held a very high position in the eyes of the ordinary people below.
The other people in the room were all heads of several other families in the city. There were several families in the city, but the Gao, Hu, and Tian families were the strongest. They could be said to represent the families in the city. However, this did not mean that there were no other families in the city. There were other families, but they were not as strong as the three Gao families.
When the others heard Gao Chengwu’s words, they all pondered for a moment, and then one of them spoke up: “I think this time, the Creation God Sect will win.”
Gao Chengwu looked at him and asked: “Why do you say that?”
The man said: “The Creation God Sect suffered a loss at the hands of the Myriad Laws God Sect in Beast Suppression City before. This time, the Creation God Sect should learn from its previous lesson and should not suffer the same loss again. With the strength of the Creation God Sect, if they make full preparations, dealing with the Myriad Laws God Sect should not be a problem.”
“Not necessarily,” another person spoke up. “Although the Creation God Sect suffered losses at the hands of the Myriad Laws God Sect before, and the Creation God Sect might have made some preparations, you shouldn’t forget that the Myriad Laws God Sect is a legitimate sect. That means they were permitted to begin proselytizing. The reason His Majesty allowed the Myriad Laws God Sect to proselytize is clearly aimed at the Creation God Sect. The Creation God Sect has developed too well in recent years, so His Majesty wants to suppress them. If the Myriad Laws God Sect is too weak, it won’t have any effect. Therefore, the Myriad Laws God Sect’s strength must be…” “They’re very strong. The Myriad Laws Sect only has two temples right now, one of which hasn’t even been built yet. That means their power is relatively concentrated, while the Creation Sect, with too many temples, can’t concentrate all their forces. So, in this battle, the Creation Sect might suffer another loss. Of course, in the long run, the Myriad Laws Sect shouldn’t be a match for the Creation Sect, but that might not be the case this time.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded, agreeing that he made sense. If that were the case, the Creation Sect would likely suffer another defeat.
Just then, a knock came at the door. Gao Chengwu immediately said, “Come in.” A servant entered a moment later, bowed to Gao Chengwu, and said, “Master, we just received news that before the Creation God Sect launched its full-scale attack on the Myriad Laws God Sect, several people entered the area where the Myriad Laws God Sect was building its temple. Although those people were dressed as rogue cultivators, their strength was extremely formidable. Some say that their strength has probably reached the Kingdom level. If those people were members of the Creation God Sect, and they entered the Myriad Laws God Sect’s territory and then died mysteriously, the Creation God Sect would definitely go mad.”
Upon hearing this, Gao Chengwu waved his hand and said, “Alright, go down and continue the investigation. Be sure to investigate carefully and see if there’s anything else we don’t know.”
The servant responded, bowed to Gao Chengwu, and then left.
After he left, Gao Chengwu glanced at everyone and then said, “Now you know why the Creation God Sect was suddenly in such a hurry, hahaha, it turns out they’ve already suffered a loss. If those Creation God Sect members who first entered the white mist today were truly experts, then those people definitely weren’t from this city’s Creation God Sect; they must have come from elsewhere to support them. If those people die, then the head of this city’s Creation God Sect and its followers will be punished. I’ve heard that the Creation God Sect’s punishments are extremely severe, making life worse than death. That’s why the Creation God Sect is desperately attacking the Myriad Laws God Sect; they want to give the Creation God Sect’s headquarters an explanation, right?”
“It seems that the Creation God Sect is definitely going to suffer a loss this time. If those experts can’t do anything to the Myriad Laws God Sect, then the rest of the people certainly can’t either. It seems that the Creation God Sect in the city is going to be wiped out.”
“The Creation God Sect’s strength is undeniable. Even if they suffer a loss here, they will definitely retaliate. Remember, there are no bets here. Even if the Myriad Laws God Sect drives the Creation God Sect out now, they will still return with a vengeance. Can the Myriad Laws God Sect withstand that?”
“That’s not our concern. The Myriad Laws God Sect dares to challenge the Creation God Sect, so they must have considerable strength. We can’t afford to offend either of them, so I think it’s best if we don’t get involved.”
“Don’t you find it strange? In Beast Suppression City, the Myriad Laws God Sect and the Creation God Sect were engaged in a bet, so why are they suddenly fighting like this in Golden Year City?”
“I heard that back in Beast Suppression City, the Creation God Sect and the Myriad Laws God Sect almost came to blows, but the current city lord of Beast Suppression City, Yu Changkong, suppressed it. Yu Changkong said that whoever made the first move in the city would be attacked, so they made a bet. Clearly, in Golden Year City, our city lord didn’t do the same, so they fought.” “
That’s the strangest part. Yu Changkong knew to maintain stability in the city, but our city lord doesn’t seem to think that way. He doesn’t seem to want to interfere in their affairs. Otherwise, the Creation God Sect and the Myriad Laws God Sect wouldn’t have dared to escalate to this point. But if this was truly with the city lord’s tacit approval, why would he do it?”
“I think the city lord’s actions are not simple. He doesn’t seem to be targeting the Myriad Laws Divine Sect or the Creation Divine Sect. It’s hard to say exactly how strong the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is, but one thing is certain: their strength is definitely not simple. The Creation Divine Sect is also a behemoth; even the Shang family probably wouldn’t dare provoke them. They would need to unite multiple factions to put pressure on the Creation Divine Sect. Even if our city lord really wanted to target someone, he wouldn’t dare. If he doesn’t want to target them, then who is his target?”
At this point, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. They all considered a terrifying possibility: if Shang Baiyi wasn’t targeting the Creation God Sect or the Myriad Laws God Sect this time, then he could only be after them. Although they were just small families, they owned many businesses in the city. These small families, combined, owned roughly 60% of the entire Jin Sui City’s industries—a considerable fortune. Of course, this might not be much to merchants, but for Shang Baiyi, it was a significant amount. If he obtained this wealth, his power would undoubtedly increase further.
Thinking of this, Gao Chengwu and the others’ faces immediately turned extremely ugly. He glanced at the other family heads and found their expressions were also grim. Looking at them, Gao Chengwu said in a deep voice, “It seems our city lord has a big appetite. What do you all think our next step should be?”
