Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16187

Chapter 16185. Complaint

At this moment, Uncle Yun arrived with several elders from the Ding family. These elders were all experts from the Ding family, and they knew what had happened to the Ding family, so their expressions were also very grim. The Ding family head glanced at them and then said, “You should all know what happened. I’ve already made arrangements with the other families. We’ll go out together and see if anyone dares to touch us. If anyone does, we’ll fight them. If no one does, we’ll go to the City Lord’s Mansion to file a complaint. I’d like to see if the City Lord will take this matter seriously.” “The matter.”

The group all responded, then Patriarch Ding waved his hand and walked out first, followed by the elders and Uncle Yun. However, Patriarch Ding then spoke up, “Uncle Yun, you stay. If anything happens to us, let Xingjia temporarily manage the affairs. Help him; you mustn’t let the family fall into chaos.” Uncle

Yun was taken aback, then responded. Xingjia, whom Patriarch Ding mentioned, was Patriarch Ding’s son, but his second son. His eldest son was a county magistrate in the city, while his second son had already begun helping manage the family’s businesses.

Soon, the group left the Ding residence. As they walked out, the Ding family head and his companions glanced around, but of course, saw nothing. Xu Ying, having received the news that the heads of several families had come out in person, immediately ordered that they not be attacked. This wasn’t out of fear, but rather because attacking the heads now would cause too much of a commotion. He wanted them to hand over the assets of the Creation God Sect, not to immediately destroy them. He believed the city lord was watching them closely and was likely aware of what had happened. If he dealt with the family heads, the city lord would intervene, escalating the situation. He wanted the families to submit, not to make matters worse.

As long as the family heads were safe, the city lord wouldn’t interfere. He needed evidence, but unfortunately, they had none, so even the city lord couldn’t do anything to them.

Without encountering any attacks, the Ding family head and his group went directly to the City Lord’s Mansion. Upon arrival, they immediately requested an audience with the City Lord.

The City Lord of Jinchuan City was a member of the Liu family, a prominent clan in the Divine Kingdom. The City Lord of Jinchuan City was a disciple of the Liu family, and he had served as City Lord for many years. He usually kept a low profile, but he was aware of everything that happened in the city. So, upon hearing that the Ding family head and his group had arrived, he knew why they had come. He didn’t really want to get involved in this matter. In his opinion, the Ding family and their relatives were too greedy. Why did the Creation God Sect retreat? It was because of the arrival of the Myriad Laws God Sect. The assets left behind by the Creation God Sect should naturally belong to the Myriad Laws God Sect, but unexpectedly, they were seized by the Ding family and their relatives. When Xu Ying went to buy them, they refused to sell. Now, they were blocked by the Ding family, and they really had no one to blame but the Ding family.

However, regardless of the circumstances, he still had to give them face, so he had the Ding family head and the others invited to his study. Once they arrived, they immediately bowed to City Lord Liu.

City Lord Liu, named Liu Yi, appeared to be in his fifties, his hair meticulously groomed, and he had a very serious demeanor. He waved his hand and said, “Gentlemen, no need for formalities, please sit down.” After thanking him, they sat down.

Once everyone was seated, City Lord Liu looked at them and asked, “Gentlemen, is there something you’ve come for?” He knew the answer already, but he had to ask.

The head of the Ding family immediately bowed to Liu Yi and said, “Lord, we have come here to accuse the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. The sect has imprisoned members of our family.”

Liu Yi feigned surprise, then said, “Such a thing? That can’t be. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect has never done anything like this before.”

The head of the Ding family said, “It must be them. Yesterday, the bishop of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, Xu Ying, visited our families, saying he wanted to buy our properties. We refused, and he’s been holding a grudge ever since. Today, members of our families have been disappearing one after another. It must be them.”

Liu Yi frowned and said, “Head of the Ding family, you should know that everything requires evidence. You have evidence now…” “Is it them?”

The Ding family head shook his head and said, “No, but it must have been them. Our families have no enmity with anyone else, and recently we’ve only had conflicts with them. Who else could it be but them?”

Liu Yi frowned and said, “Based on your imagination alone, there’s no way to convict them, not to mention the strength of the Myriad Laws Sect. If I imprison them without any evidence, it will cause a lot of trouble. Don’t forget, there are quite a few of their followers in the city.”

Upon hearing Liu Yi’s words, the Ding family head and the others all fell silent. What evidence did they have? Although they knew that the Myriad Laws Sect was responsible, without evidence, they seemed to have no way to deal with them.

Liu Yi glanced at the group and then said, “It’s not really my place to get involved in this matter. I think you should discuss it with the Wanfa Divine Sect.”

The Ding family head and the others exchanged glances, their expressions turning even more grim. After a long while, the Ding family head finally spoke, “City Lord, we also want to have a proper talk with the Wanfa Divine Sect, but we’re afraid they won’t want to talk to us. Could you please do us a favor and invite the Wanfa Divine Sect members here so we can have a proper discussion and resolve this matter completely?”

Liu Yi was actually… He didn’t want to get involved in this matter, but since the various families had put it this way, it would seem disrespectful of them if he didn’t intervene. With that in mind, he nodded and said, “Alright, I can invite Bishop Xu over, but you’ll have to talk to him yourselves. Also, so far, you have no evidence to prove that the Myriad Laws Cult was behind this, so you’d better not act rashly. If you really start a war with the Myriad Laws Cult, then the responsibility will fall on your side. If the Myriad Laws Cult really attacks you then, there’s nothing I can do.”

The expressions on the faces of the Ding family head and the others changed. The reason they dared to disrespect the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was because they believed the sect wouldn’t dare do anything to them in the city. In terms of true strength, they were no match for the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. Even the Creation Divine Sect had to bow down before the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, let alone them.

If the city lord truly didn’t help them, and they had no evidence, then they would truly have no choice but to submit to the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. Although they were extremely unwilling, they had to do so, which made the Ding family head and the others feel very uncomfortable, hence their grim expressions.

Liu Yi observed their expressions and then said, “If you truly wish to negotiate with the Myriad Laws Sect, then let’s have a proper discussion. If not, then forget it and please leave.”

The group exchanged glances, and then Patriarch Ding said, “We agree to negotiate with them.”

Liu Yi nodded and then said, “Good. Someone come here.” A servant entered from outside, bowed to Liu Yi, and Liu Yi said, “Go to the Myriad Laws Temple and invite Bishop Xu here.” The servant acknowledged, bowed to Liu Yi, and left the room.

A moment later, the servant returned to the room, bowed to Liu Yi, and said, “Master, Bishop Xu has arrived.”

Liu Yi nodded and then said, “Please come in quickly.”

The servant acknowledged, left the room, and then opened the door. Xu Ying entered from outside. Upon seeing the Ding family head and the others, Xu Ying seemed quite surprised. He immediately bowed to Liu Yi and said, “Greetings, City Lord, and greetings to the family heads.”

Liu Yi stood up and returned the bow. Seeing that Liu Yi had stood up to return the bow, the Ding family head and the others had no choice but to stand up and return the bow to Xu Ying as well, though their expressions were not very pleasant.

Liu Yi smiled and said to Xu Ying, “Bishop Xu, the reason I invited you here today is actually to talk to you about the misunderstanding between you and these families. Please sit down, let’s sit down and talk.”

Xu Ying thanked him and then sat down. He looked at Liu Yi with some confusion and said, “City Lord, is there a misunderstanding? We don’t have any misunderstanding with these families.”

Liu Yi knew that Xu Ying would not admit it, so he smiled slightly and said, “There is no misunderstanding. These families have something to discuss with you.” After saying that, he turned to look at the Ding family head and the others, and then said nothing more.

Xu Ying nodded, then turned to look at the Ding family head and the others, smiling as he said, “Family heads, what is it? Please speak frankly.”

The Ding family head glared at Xu Ying with eyes blazing with anger, and said in a deep voice, “Bishop Xu, you really have some impressive skills. I wonder where our family’s disciples are now?” The other family heads also glared angrily at Xu Ying.

Xu Ying asked, puzzled, “What do you mean by that, Patriarch Ding? Have any of your family’s disciples gone missing? I get the feeling you think I’m the one who caused their disappearance? What does that have to do with me?”

Patriarch Ding looked at Xu Ying, then said in a deep voice, “Patriarch Xu, let’s not beat around the bush. What do you want in return for my family’s disciples to return?”

Xu Ying’s face darkened, and he stared at Patriarch Ding with lightning-fast eyes, then said in a deep voice, “Patriarch Ding, are you deaf? If your family’s disciples are missing, go find them. Why are you asking me for help? Am I your family’s maid?”

Patriarch Ding and the others were intimidated by Xu Ying’s imposing manner and dared not speak for a moment. Liu Yi, watching their expressions, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Patriarch Ding and his ilk still hadn’t grasped their place. Who did they think they were dealing with? Those are people who can cause the Creation God Sect to suffer losses. For a few small families to think they can fight against the Myriad Laws God Sect is simply a pipe dream. These people have been ruling this small town for too long, forgetting how vast the outside world is. (End of Chapter)
