Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16178

Chapter 16176. Taking Action

Taking Action When Gao Chengwu and his group arrived outside the white mist of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, they found the abbot of the Creation Divine Sect standing there with an ugly expression. Upon seeing Gao Chengwu and his group, the abbot’s face darkened even more. He flew directly in front of Gao Chengwu and his group, coldly looking at Gao Chengwu and saying, “Gao Yasi, what brings you here?” He didn’t address Gao Chengwu as “Patriarch,” but rather by his official title, Yasi. In fact, the abbot’s position was higher than Gao Chengwu’s, so he didn’t need to be polite to Gao Chengwu. Calling Gao Chengwu by his official title here implied contempt and was a reminder that he was merely a Yasi.

If someone of lower status calls you by your official title, it might be a sign of respect. But if someone of higher status calls you by your official title when your own rank is not high, it means they don’t think highly of you. This was the meaning behind the abbot’s address to Gao Chengwu.

Gao Chengwu wasn’t angry at all. Instead, he smiled slightly and then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the abbot, saying, “Abbot Chen, you’re still in Jin Sui City. You’ve caused such a commotion this time. Isn’t that a bit much? As a local clerk, although I’m a lowly official, I still want to do my part. Aren’t you afraid of being blamed by the Creation God Sect for what you’re doing? The Creation God Sect is the state religion, so they should abide by the laws of the divine kingdom. What you’re doing doesn’t seem to be in accordance with the law, does it?”

Gao Chengwu immediately adopted an official tone. As the clerk of the city, he was supposed to be in charge of this matter, so he spoke his mind directly.

Abbot Chen looked at Gao Chengwu and then said in a deep voice, “Gao, don’t you know what happened?”

Gao Chengwu shook his head and said, “I really don’t know. Please tell me in detail, Abbot Chen, so I can see if I can do my part to help resolve this conflict between the two sides. My words don’t just represent myself, but also my colleagues. I believe that if we all work together, we can resolve this matter perfectly.”

Upon hearing Gao Chengwu’s words, Abbot Chen glanced at the other families, his expression becoming slightly grave. Finally, his gaze returned to Gao Chengwu, and he said, “We only came here today to help, but now hundreds of people have entered that white mist, yet only…” “Don’t you find it strange that people go in but don’t come out? I suspect those people encountered danger in the white mist, and perhaps the people of the Myriad Laws Cult are also in danger. We are trying to find a way to rescue them.”

Upon hearing Abbot Chen’s words, Gao Chengwu couldn’t help but secretly praise his brilliance. The people of the Myriad Laws Cult had been hiding in the white mist and hadn’t come out. Of course, now whatever Abbot Chen said was law. If he said they came to help, then they came to help. If he said the people of the Myriad Laws Cult were in danger, then the people of the Myriad Laws Cult were certainly in danger, unless the people of the Myriad Laws Cult personally came out to explain to them. But if the people of the Myriad Laws Cult really dared to come out, then Abbot Chen would immediately ask where everyone who entered the white mist had gone. In short, no matter what, they would have a reason to continue attacking the Myriad Laws Cult.

Gao Chengwu couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He then said, “Abbot Chen, we can ask about these things. If the people of the Myriad Laws Sect are really in danger, it should be us who rescue them. What do you think?”

Abbot Chen looked at Gao Chengwu and then said, “It seems that you have many misunderstandings about us. We are just here to help. Why make such a fuss?” As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Gao Chengwu, and a cold glint flashed in them.

Gao Chengwu smiled slightly and said, “Abbot Chen, isn’t this what the court employs us for? If you all do the work, what will we do? Won’t we lose our jobs? So please, Abbot Chen, don’t interfere in this matter anymore, what do you think?”

Abbot Chen’s face darkened as he looked at Gao Chengwu. He said, “Officer Gao, you are indeed upholding the law impartially, but Officer Gao, don’t forget that as the state religion, our Creation God Sect has the right to help deal with matters that occur in various cities. So what we are doing now doesn’t seem to violate the laws of the Divine Kingdom at all, does it?”

Seeing that Gao Chengwu was still arguing with him, Abbot Chen didn’t hold back and directly threatened Gao Chengwu. He didn’t want to waste any more time on this nonsense with Gao Chengwu.

Upon hearing Abbot Chen’s words, Gao Chengwu’s expression remained unchanged. Just as he was about to speak, a voice rang out, “Abbot Chen, mobilizing so many people from the city to help this time is indeed impressive, but shouldn’t you first report to my City Lord’s Mansion?”

Hearing this voice, Gao Chengwu’s expression changed slightly, but he immediately adopted a respectful demeanor. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shang Baiyi flying less than ten feet behind them. Gao Chengwu immediately bowed to Shang Baiyi, saying, “Greetings, City Lord.”

The other family members followed suit, bowing and saying, “Greetings, City Lord.”

Shang Baiyi gave them a deep look before speaking, “No need for such formalities.”

The group straightened up, but their bodies were still slightly hunched. Gao Chengwu and the others knew very well that they couldn’t afford to break ties with Shang Baiyi now, because it would do them no good.

Shang Baiyi then turned to look at Abbot Chen and said, “Abbot Chen, you’ve made quite a commotion today. I know your purpose perfectly well, but you must also understand that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is a legitimate sect recognized by the Divine Kingdom. Your direct attack on them is somewhat inappropriate, especially given the scale of the disturbance. What will His Majesty think if he finds out? Have you considered that?”

Abbot Chen looked at Shang Baiyi and said, “Lord Shang, logically, since you’ve already intervened, we should retreat today no matter what. However, you don’t understand the current situation. If we can’t take them down this time, we won’t be able to explain ourselves to our superiors. Therefore, we have to act today. I’m sorry, it’s not that I don’t want to give you face, it’s just that I can’t give you face right now.”

Upon hearing Abbot Chen’s words, Shang Baiyi was taken aback. He glanced at Abbot Chen and then said: “Then, Master Chen, how far do you intend to fight?”

Master Chen glanced at the white mist and said, “Either they die, or we die. There is no other possibility.”

Shang Baiyi was stunned. He really hadn’t expected Master Chen to say such a thing. He took a deep breath and then said, “If this is your decision, then I will no longer interfere. But there is one thing I hope you will remember: your battle should not affect too many people in the city. If the affected area is too large, then don’t blame me for being impolite.”

After saying that, Shang Baiyi said in a deep voice, “Issue the order to close the city gates and activate the defensive array. From now on, the city is under martial law. No one is allowed to go out.”

As soon as they gave the order, someone responded immediately. The next moment, countless people flew in all directions. Soon, a huge yellow shield covered the entire Jin Sui City. At the same time, everyone in the city was notified to return to their houses immediately and not to go out.

The entire city of Jin Sui quickly fell silent, with only members of various families remaining in the air. Their expressions were grim. Shang Baiyi glanced at the families and then said, “You should all go back.” He then turned to Abbot Chen and continued, “Abbot Chen, I’ll give you one day. After one day, regardless of the outcome, your fighting must cease. What do you say? No objections?”

“No problem, one day is enough.” A voice suddenly rang out. Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. The next moment, the white mist at the location of the Wanfa Divine Sect’s temple had vanished, and Xu Ying was leading the rest of the Wanfa Divine Sect members there.

But they were the only ones there; there was no one else. Seeing this, everyone was stunned. They all knew that many gangs in the city had entered the white mist, expecting it to be a scene of bloodshed and mountains of corpses. But they found nothing there; the stinking puddles had disappeared, and of course, the people had vanished as well.

Everyone stared at Xu Ying, speechless for a moment. Xu Ying smiled slightly at their expressions and said, “What? Are you curious about where those people went? Don’t worry, you’ll see them soon. Anyway, let’s not talk about that. I really want to thank you this time for saving us a lot of trouble.” Everyone looked

at Xu Ying, puzzled. Xu Ying smiled even more broadly and continued, “Originally, we were planning to find an opportunity to slowly deal with everyone in the city. Now, you’ve sealed off the city yourselves, so no one will suspect us. It’s much easier for us to proceed. Thank you.” As he spoke, countless people suddenly appeared in the sky above the city. These people were all wearing armor and marching in neat formations. It was clear at a glance that they were elite soldiers, which made Shang Baiyi and his men’s expressions change drastically.

Shang Baiyi glared at Xu Ying, then roared, “Xu Ying, what are you trying to do? Are you planning a rebellion?”

Xu Ying looked at Shang Baiyi and smiled slightly, “Don’t get agitated. What rebellion? We weren’t originally from the Divine Kingdom, so what’s this talk of a rebellion? Don’t worry, we’ll soon be one of us.” With that, the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples who had appeared immediately launched an attack. Their first target was the members of the Creation God Sect; of course, they wouldn’t spare anyone else in the city.
