Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16183
Chapter 16181. Contraction
Luo Xiong knelt in a room. In front of him was an incense burner, from which wisps of smoke rose, carrying a fragrance. Behind the incense burner was a soft couch, and on the couch leaned a person. This person was none other than the leader of the Creation God Sect.
The cult leader leaned back with his eyes half-closed, seemingly about to fall asleep, but Luo Xiong knelt upright, not daring to move. After a while, the cult leader finally spoke, “Get up.”
Luo Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed to the cult leader, and then stood up. The cult leader continued, “Those people from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect are indeed quite strong; even you are no match for them. Fine, you may leave.”
Luo Xiong responded, bowed to the cult leader, and then left the room. Only after he was outside did he truly breathe a sigh of relief. He had just been reporting to the cult leader about his battle in Jin Sui City. He had described the battle in as much detail as possible, fearing punishment, but thankfully, the cult leader hadn’t.
After Luo Xiong left, the cult leader spoke, “Someone, go and invite the bishops to the conference room for a meeting.” A disciple immediately responded and went to fetch them. The cult leader then got off the soft couch and walked to the door, where a palanquin was already prepared. He sat down and headed towards the conference room.
Actually, his room wasn’t far from the conference room, but he still used the palanquin to display his status. When he arrived at the conference room, the bishops were already there. This was a rule of the Creation God Cult: whenever he summoned someone, regardless of what they were doing, they had to immediately drop everything and come to see him, or they would be punished.
As soon as the leader entered the room, the bishops immediately stood up and bowed to him. He merely nodded, then walked to the main seat and sat down. After sitting down, he still had his eyes half-closed and said, “You should have heard about what happened in Jin Sui City. Luo Xiong and his team also failed. Luo Xiong’s team is one of the strongest teams in our Creation God Sect. They failed. What do you think about this?”
Upon hearing this, the bishops exchanged glances, and for a moment no one spoke. They knew the fighting strength of Luo Xiong’s team; they were extremely powerful. The fact that their team couldn’t defeat the Wanfa God Sect made this matter rather troublesome.
The leader didn’t urge them, but sat there quietly for a while. Then, one of the bishops spoke up: “Leader, I think the problem is that we know absolutely nothing about this Myriad Laws Cult. We have no idea how many people they have, or what their combat strength is. This puts us at a significant disadvantage. However, one thing is certain: the Myriad Laws Cult is His Majesty’s way of using us as a counterweight. Therefore, their combat strength must be considerable; otherwise, His Majesty wouldn’t have used them to control us. I’ve heard that martial law was imposed on Wukong City once before, and I suspect it was related to this Myriad Laws Cult.” “If that’s the case, then we’ll need to adjust our strategy for dealing with the Myriad Laws Cult.”
His words startled everyone. The cult leader glanced at them with some surprise before saying, “Explain in detail.”
The bishop responded, “The Myriad Laws Cult is used by His Majesty to keep us in check. Besides their own strength, His Majesty won’t let them fail easily. So, defeating them immediately is extremely difficult. My idea is that we might as well hold back our power and see what happens.”
The cult leader frowned slightly and said, “Explain in detail.”
The bishop responded and then said, “Currently, the Church of Ten Thousand Laws only has one temple; the second one hasn’t been built yet. When facing us, they only have one group fighting us. This group is very strong, but we have absolutely no idea about the fighting capabilities of the rest of their members because they have too few temples and expose too little of their power. If we withdraw our forces and give them some territory, allowing them to build more temples and expose more of the Church of Ten Thousand Laws, then perhaps we can figure out their true strength and understand their church.” “What is their actual fighting strength? And by doing this, we’re essentially giving His Majesty face. His Majesty will become suspicious of us, and he’ll also be suspicious of those people. Once His Majesty becomes suspicious of the Myriad Laws Divine Cult, the Myriad Laws Divine Cult won’t receive any more support from him. Then, when we deal with them, His Majesty probably won’t interfere.”
Hearing this, everyone frowned, but they also felt he was right. Just as he said, the Myriad Laws Divine Cult was used by His Majesty to keep them in check. If they really defeated them in one fell swoop, the consequences would be unimaginable. At that time, His Majesty might take drastic measures against them.
But if they held back their strength and ceded some territory, His Majesty’s attention would only be on them, and also on the Myriad Laws Divine Cult. His Majesty doesn’t want another Creation Divine Cult to appear. Then, their pressure would be less, and when they deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Cult, His Majesty might not interfere anymore, because His Majesty would love to see them fight to the death.
The cult leader kept his eyes half-closed and remained motionless for a long while. Everyone was silent, watching him quietly. After a while, the cult leader finally spoke: “Alright, give up fifty cities first, let them expose more of themselves. I want to see just how strong this Myriad Laws Divine Cult really is.”
Upon hearing the cult leader’s words, everyone responded. The cult leader slightly opened his eyes and looked at him, saying, “We can cede fifty cities to the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, but if anyone else tries to harm us, we will not yield an inch. Don’t forget His Majesty’s original intention in sending the Creation Divine Sect to spread his teachings: to counterbalance the powerful families and sects. If they dare to lay a hand on us, we will chop them off. We must let His Majesty know that although we are now strong, we are still his sharpest weapon. As long as His Majesty sees our loyalty, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect will no longer need to exist. Go and prepare.”
Everyone responded, then stood up, bowed to the cult leader, and turned to leave. After they left, the cult leader stood up and walked out, then sat in his carriage and returned to his room.
Meanwhile, Xu Ying and his group waited in Jin Sui City for several days, only to find that the Creation God Sect hadn’t sent anyone else. This surprised them greatly. Xu Ying didn’t think the Creation God Sect would give up so easily, so why hadn’t they sent anyone else?
Xu Ying lacked experience in this area, so he directly called Chang Jun. As soon as the call connected, Xu Ying immediately bowed to Chang Jun and said, “Uncle Chang.”
Xu Ying was Xu Gang’s son, and Xu Gang had a good relationship with Chang Jun, so it was perfectly appropriate for him to call Chang Jun “Uncle Chang.”
Chang Jun smiled and said, “Xiao Ying, what’s wrong? Is something the matter?”
Xu Ying responded and immediately told Chang Jun about the situation in Jin Sui City. Chang Jun listened quietly, and after Xu Ying finished speaking, he frowned and said, “So, after the people from the Creation God Sect left, they haven’t sent anyone to Jin Sui City, right?”
Xu Ying responded and continued, “Our temples here are all built, but the Creation God Temple is still empty. Since that day, the Creation God Sect hasn’t sent anyone to take over there.”
Upon hearing this, Chang Jun thought for a moment and then said, “How about this, after you’ve dealt with things in Jin Sui City, go to the next city to build a temple and see what happens to the Creation God Sect. ” “How do people react? If the Creation God Cult retreats immediately upon seeing you building the temple, it means they are consolidating their forces and want us to reveal more. If they continue fighting you in that city, it means the Creation God Cult team you dealt with before was probably their elite force. They weren’t confident they could defeat you under the rules of Jin Sui City, so they abandoned Jin Sui City.”
Upon hearing Chang Jun’s words, Xu Ying was taken aback, then nodded and said, “Yes, Uncle Chang, I understand. We’ll make arrangements immediately and head to the next city.”
Chang Jun nodded and then said, “I’m quite confident in your strength, but you still need to be careful.” “Son, the Creation God Cult has managed to exist in the Divine Kingdom for so many years; their strength is considerable. They might even have some powerful experts. So you must be careful. Although we can all be resurrected, it’s best not to die, otherwise it will affect our mentality.”
Xu Ying responded, and Chang Jun continued, “The Creation God Cult has suffered two losses at your hands, but that’s because they are restricted by the rules of the Divine Kingdom. Everyone in the Divine Kingdom knows that your existence is to deal with the Creation God Cult, so they will give you a relatively fair environment, and might even favor you somewhat. However, if you truly grow stronger, this advantage might not be so.” “I understand. The Creation God Cult might attack you even more fiercely then, so you need to be extra careful.”
Xu Ying responded again. Chang Jun continued, “No matter what, just be careful. Also, you can act more conspicuously to attract the attention of the Divine Kingdom. The more attention the people of the Divine Kingdom focus on you, the safer we will be.”
Xu Ying responded again. He was very clear about his role; they were there to attract the attention of the people of the Divine Kingdom, so they had to act conspicuously. In fact, they were already acting very conspicuously; otherwise, he wouldn’t have covered their territory with white mist as soon as he arrived in Jin Sui City.
