Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16188

Chapter 16186 Bowing One’s Head

“Bishop Xu, please don’t mind. Patriarch Ding didn’t mean that. His disciples have gone missing, and he’s very anxious, which is why he misspoke. The Myriad Laws Sect is powerful, and since we live in the same city, we have some ties. So, they want to ask Bishop Xu for help in finding their missing disciples,” Liu Yi quickly smoothed things over. Xu Ying

’s expression softened a bit. He then looked at Patriarch Ding and the others and asked, “Is that what you mean?” The

group exchanged glances and could only nod reluctantly. They had only just remembered that the person sitting in front of them was not some unaffiliated rogue cultivator, but a powerful expert with a strong background. Such a person could wipe out their entire family. If they acted recklessly, they would be courting death.

Looking at the group, Xu Ying said in a deep voice, “I can help, but I have conditions. My conditions are actually very simple: if we can help your families find those missing family disciples, you will sell the Creation Sect’s assets to us at market price. How about it?”

Xu Ying stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table. His attitude made the Ding family head and the others exchange glances. After a brief exchange, they all nodded silently.

The Ding family head took a deep breath and said to Xu Ying, “We agree. As long as you can help me find our family’s disciple, we are willing to sell the original assets of the Creation God Sect to you at market price.”

Xu Ying nodded, then turned to Liu Yi and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, “The city lord is here; he can be our witness.”

The group all nodded and turned to look at Liu Yi. Liu Yi looked at them and smiled slightly, saying, “Alright, I’ll be your witness. If any of these families go back on their word later, Bishop Xu, just come and find me.”

Xu Ying nodded and said, “Okay, then it’s settled. I’ll go back now and arrange for someone to go and find the person immediately.” After saying that, he stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the group, and then turned and walked out.

Liu Yi and the others stood up, but they didn’t see Xu Ying off. After Xu Ying left, Liu Yi turned to the Ding family head and the others, saying, “It seems this matter has been resolved, but you must remember this lesson. You might not be so lucky next time. There are some people you can mess with, and some you can’t. The sudden departure of the Creation God Sect from Jinchuan City—hasn’t that made you realize that these people are not to be trifled with? In the future, before you provoke anyone, consider your own strength.”

The group remained silent, their expressions grim. However, they took Liu Yi’s words to heart. This time, the Myriad Laws God Sect hadn’t even had to lift a finger to block their doors. They even believed that if it weren’t for not wanting to escalate the conflict, the Myriad Laws God Sect would have already dealt with them, as they were not to be trifled with.

Liu Yi glanced at the group, then said in a deep voice, “Whether it’s the Myriad Laws Divine Sect or the Creation Divine Sect, they are both behemoths. Although the Myriad Laws Divine Sect currently only has three temples, the fact that they could make the Creation Divine Sect back down already demonstrates their strength. Under these circumstances, what you should do is stand aside and watch, and not get involved in their affairs. The fact that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect agreed to buy back the Creation Divine Sect’s assets from you is already a great favor to you. It’s also possible that because they haven’t shown much strength yet, and they also have to consider His Majesty’s opinion of them, they haven’t gone too far.” “If we wait until later, when they don’t have so many scruples, then what you’re doing now is tantamount to courting death. Think about it carefully. There are some things that are not for you to get involved in, or even for us to get involved in.”

After saying this, Liu Yi glanced at the group and continued, “Alright, you can all go back now. I won’t keep you any longer. Remember, this is the last time I’ll help you. But if something like this happens again, don’t come looking for me.”

Upon hearing Liu Yi’s words, the Ding family head and the others were taken aback. They all stood up, bowed to Liu Yi, and then left the room. After they left the city lord’s mansion… The head of the Ding family glanced at the others and said, “Let’s go back and wait for news. Let’s see if the Wanfa Divine Sect will make things difficult for us. This time, we misjudged the situation; we must be more careful in the future.”

The others all nodded, and then they separated and headed home. When the head of the Ding family returned home, he saw Uncle Yun, who was standing in front of the Ding family’s archway waiting for him. Upon seeing him return, Uncle Yun immediately greeted him, his face beaming with joy, saying, “Head of the family, all the missing members of the family have returned!”

The head of the Ding family was taken aback upon hearing this, and then a smile appeared on his face. A slightly puzzled man looked at Uncle Yun and said, “You said all the missing people have returned? What happened?”

Uncle Yun shook his head and said, “I don’t know either, but they really have all returned. Master, should I have them come to see you?”

The Ding family head walked towards his room and said, “Have the team leader come to my study to see me. The rest of you can go back and rest. Also, Uncle Yun, go and organize all the properties of the Creation God Sect that we acquired this time. If the Myriad Laws God Sect wants to buy them, sell them directly to them. Remember, just pay the market price, don’t add any markup.” Uncle Yun responded.

The head of the Ding family had already returned to his study. A short while later, two leaders arrived. One was an ordinary elite disciple of the Ding family, while the other was a kingdom-level expert. Upon seeing the head of the Ding family, they immediately bowed. The head of the Ding family waved his hand and said, “Alright, no need to be so polite, please sit.” The two responded, bowed to the head of the Ding family, and then sat down.

After they sat down, the Ding family head looked at the two and said, “Tell me, what exactly happened?”

The two exchanged glances, and then the kingdom-level expert spoke up, “To be honest, family head, I still don’t know what happened. I was ordered to lead the team out, but we hadn’t gone far, just around a corner, when suddenly I found myself in a space. This space was very empty, only about a hundred meters long, wide, and high. The entire space was white, and the walls were ordinary; there was nothing there. I tried attacking the walls, but it was useless; there was no reaction at all. I don’t know what happened; I don’t even know how long I was there. Then suddenly I came out of that space. The place I came out of was the same corner I had just turned before, and then I…” Back at their family home.

The elite disciple of the Ding family nodded, saying, “Reporting to the family head, it’s the same for me. The space I was in was the same, and I was all alone. Everyone who was with me has disappeared.”

The kingdom-level disciple nodded, saying, “Me too. When I entered that space, everyone who was with us disappeared. In other words, we were all separated. I asked those people, and their situation is the same.”

Hearing this, the Ding family head was stunned. He looked at the two with surprise and said, “I really didn’t expect this. Alright, go back and get some rest.” The two responded, stood up, bowed to the Ding family head, and then turned and left.

After they left, a look of shock appeared on the face of the Ding family head. He truly hadn’t expected it to be like this. Something capable of such a feat must be a special magical artifact. And this artifact, capable of silently luring a kingdom-level expert inside, leaving them completely unaware of how they entered or exited, was truly terrifying.

Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on his back. He realized he had seriously underestimated the Myriad Laws Divine Sect; they were far more terrifying than he had imagined. The thought of confronting such a force made him smile bitterly. He had overestimated himself. Fortunately, this matter was resolved; otherwise, the entire Ding family might have vanished.

Just then, a knock came at the door. The Ding family head snapped out of his reverie, composed himself, and said, “Come in.”

The door opened, and Uncle Yun entered. He bowed to the Ding family head and said, “Master, the people from the Myriad Laws Sect just came by. As you instructed, I sold the Creation God Sect’s properties to them at market price.”

The Ding family head nodded and said, “They paid.”

Uncle Yun shook his head and said, “They didn’t pay with money; they gave us crystals.”

The Ding family head was taken aback, then nodded and said, “Crystals are certainly better. You didn’t overcharge them with crystals, did you?”

Uncle Yun shook his head and said, “No, there’s a discount on exchanging crystals for gold coins, so I gave them a discount as well. They seemed quite satisfied and left after giving me the crystals.”

The Ding family head nodded and said, “Good, that’s good. You may leave now.” Uncle Yun responded, bowed to the Ding family head, and then left the room.

Patriarch Ding was quite satisfied with Uncle Yun’s handling of the situation. He was well aware that he had already offended the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. Even if they were to give the Creation Divine Sect’s assets to the Myriad Laws Divine Sect now, the sect wouldn’t immediately change its attitude towards them. Therefore, it was best for them to handle matters officially and then find ways to gradually ease their tensions with the sect later. Patriarch Ding was very pleased with Uncle Yun’s approach; having worked with him for a long time, Uncle Yun always understood his thinking and handled things very well, which was why he trusted Uncle Yun so much.
