Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16190

Chapter 16188. Orders

“So, the Myriad Laws Cult possesses a magical artifact that can imprison people directly. How many can be imprisoned at once is still unknown,” the leader of the Creation Cult asked a bishop standing before him.

The bishop nodded, “Yes, Master, this news came from those smaller families.”

“It seems we underestimated the Myriad Laws Cult. We know too little about them. We should learn more about them.”

The bishop remained silent, waiting for the leader to continue. The leader thought for a moment, then spoke, “Give up a hundred cities to expose more of them. We need to understand them better and see what they’re up to. If they continue to attack us under these circumstances, then we’ll have no choice but to retaliate with all our might. We can’t care about His Majesty’s reputation.”

The bishop acknowledged, and the leader waved his hand. The bishop bowed to the leader and left the room.

Meanwhile, Gongliang Juewen was sitting in his room, listening to a report from a man in black. The report was similar to what the Creation God Sect had received. After listening, Gongliang Juewen frowned and said, “So, the Creation God Sect retreated as soon as they saw the Myriad Laws God Sect enter Jinchuan City?”

The man in black responded. Gongliang Juewen coldly smiled and said, “The Creation God Sect is indeed clever. But I’d like to see just how far they’ll retreat. By the way, what’s the reaction of those aristocratic families and sects?”

“Your Majesty, they haven’t reacted. The aristocratic families seem to be observing, while the sects seem completely unconcerned.”

“They’re honest enough; they know what’s good for them. Alright, you may leave.” The man in black responded, bowed to Gongliang Juewen, and then left.

After that person left, Gongliang Juewen continued with his own work. As for the information that the Wanfa Dao Sect possessed a magical artifact capable of imprisoning people, he didn’t take it to heart. It would be truly strange if the Wanfa Dao Sect didn’t have such an ability, so he wasn’t surprised.

The major families and sects had all received the same news, and their reactions were similar. They didn’t want to get involved in the affairs of the Wanfa Divine Sect and the Creation Divine Sect. Both the Wanfa Divine Sect and the Creation Divine Sect were extremely powerful, and they couldn’t afford to provoke either of them individually. To deal with either the Creation Divine Sect or the Wanfa Divine Sect, they would have to unite, but uniting wouldn’t be easy.

After resolving the situation in Jinchuan City, Xu Ying and his group immediately moved on to the next city. This time, their operation went very smoothly. As soon as they entered the city, the Creation God Sect withdrew, and none of the smaller aristocratic families dared to provoke them. They easily took over some of the Creation God Sect’s businesses. The Creation God Sect hadn’t disposed of these businesses during their retreat, and even if they had wanted to, the smaller families wouldn’t dare take them on, and the powerful families wouldn’t want to either, because doing so would be tantamount to offending the Myriad Laws God Sect, and the consequences would likely be dire.

If the Myriad Laws God Sect truly failed, and the Creation God Sect returned to those cities, wouldn’t they remember those businesses? Therefore, taking over those businesses would mean offending both the Creation God Sect and the Myriad Laws God Sect simultaneously, something they wouldn’t do.

Xu Ying and his group were somewhat taken aback; they hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly. However, this only fueled Xu Ying’s curiosity; he wanted to see just how far the Creation God Sect would go.

With this in mind, Xu Ying and his group accelerated their pace of entering the various cities: one city, two cities, three cities, ten cities, fifty cities, one hundred cities.

In less than a month, Xu Ying and his group had directly occupied one hundred cities. The members of the Creation God Cult in those cities would immediately retreat as soon as they entered, making their takeover incredibly smooth.

However, after taking over one hundred cities, when they entered the one hundred and first city, Xu Ying discovered a problem: the people in the Creation God Temple in this city had not retreated.

This startled Xu Ying, and then everyone understood: the Creation God Cult was no longer willing to concede. In other words, they had ceded one hundred cities, but from this moment on, they would not concede any more.

Xu Ying immediately summoned the elders to his room. After they were all seated, he spoke, “The people of the Creation God Sect haven’t left, which means they won’t retreat any further. From now on, we’ll have to fight them for territory with real swords and spears. This is exactly what we’ve been hoping for. What are your thoughts?” “

The sect sent us to fight the Creation God Sect to draw everyone’s attention here in the Divine Kingdom. The Creation God Sect’s previous retreat had diverted some of their attention away from us, but they still wanted to see just how far they could retreat. Now that they’re not retreating, it means our battle with them is about to begin again, and they might be even more interested in that.”

Everyone nodded. Xu Ying continued, “Then prepare for war with the Creation God Sect. But this time, it probably won’t be as easy as before. The Creation God Sect might go all out against us this time. However, one thing is certain: our battleground might not be in the city.”

Everyone nodded. Just then, a knock came at the door. Xu Ying was startled, then said, “Come in.” The door opened, and a Blood Slaughter Sect disciple entered. He bowed to Xu Ying and said, “Bishop, we just received news that the Divine Kingdom has issued a ban on martial arts. From now on, no fighting is allowed in any city of the Divine Kingdom. Anyone who dares to fight in the city will be executed.”

Upon hearing this order, Xu Ying was stunned. Then his expression changed, and he fell into deep thought. He said, “It seems this is aimed at us.”

Everyone nodded. This order had come at the worst possible time, clearly targeting them and the Creation God Sect, preventing them from fighting in the city.

An elder spoke up, “If we can’t fight inside the city, then we can only fight outside. But we can’t wager like before; the Creation God Sect wouldn’t agree to that. So, we can only target the Creation God Sect’s properties outside the city.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded. They understood the elder’s meaning. They indeed couldn’t fight the Creation God Sect inside the city, so they had to fight outside. The Creation God Sect, as the state religion of the Divine Kingdom, had many properties. Shops were just small businesses, not worth mentioning. Their truly respectable properties were mines and the like.

The Creation God Sect had so many members, all cultivators. How many magical artifacts would these cultivators need? If they bought them all from outside, how much would it cost? Not just artifacts, but also pills. Buying all of these wouldn’t just be a matter of money; if one day, you went to war with the person who sold you the pills, would they still sell them to you? If he grabs you by the neck, you’re finished. Therefore, the Creation God Cult also has its own mines and medicinal gardens. Most of these mines and gardens aren’t located in the city, but rather in the mountains outside the city or in secluded places. These are the true assets of a powerful force.

Previously, the battle between the Myriad Laws God Cult and the Creation God Cult didn’t involve attacks on those assets because it wasn’t necessary. As long as the people from the Creation God Temple in the city retreated, it meant victory, and the Creation God Cult members in those assets would naturally retreat as well. So, they only needed to take over. But now that the Creation God Cult members aren’t retreating, and the Divine Kingdom doesn’t allow them to fight in the city, they have to act outside the city. Therefore, attacking those assets becomes absolutely necessary.

Xu Ying said in a deep voice, “Then let’s do it this way. We’ll attack the properties outside the City of the Creation God Sect. However, we can’t disrespect the Creation God Sect. They ceded a hundred cities to us, which is their bottom line. This is also a gesture of respect to Gongliang Juewen. If we attack again, they will retaliate. We should also give them face. Before attacking their properties, we’ll inform them and not attack them without warning.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they all agreed. No one objected. They were simply informing the Creation God Sect that they were going to attack their properties outside the city. The Creation God Sect would definitely react. Although this seemed somewhat redundant, they had to do it; it was their principle.

Sometimes the Blood Slaughter Sect’s actions seemed a bit rigid, but they had to do it this way because it was their bottom line, and they couldn’t cross it.

Of course, if the enemy disregards all rules from the outset and attacks them ruthlessly, they won’t hold back. Their bottom line is flexible; their principles are only applied to those who uphold them. They won’t trap themselves with principles against those who don’t. The Blood Slaughter

Sect’s approach to dealing with rule-breakers has always been: “I’ll be even more rule-breaker than you.” And to deal with rule-abiding individuals, their approach is: “We’ll be even more rule-abiding than you.” This isn’t outdated thinking, but rather an absolute confidence in themselves. If you want to play dirty tricks, they’ll play along; if you don’t want to play dirty tricks, they’ll still play along. Regardless of whether you play dirty tricks or not, they are confident they can deal with you at any time. That’s the Blood Slaughter Sect’s confidence.

Of course, they wouldn’t directly send someone to inform the Creation God Cult that they were going to attack their properties outside the city—that’s childish. Their approach is actually quite simple: first, attack the Creation God Cult’s properties outside the city to let them know their intentions. (End of Chapter)
