Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16191

Chapter 16189. A Test

the Waters There are many ways to send a message. Beating up the enemy is one way. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect could use this method to send a message to the Creation Divine Sect, telling them that the battle location had changed.

Therefore, the first attack on the Creation Divine Sect’s properties shouldn’t be too fierce; a token attack is enough. Attack briefly, without actually capturing the property, then retreat, giving the Creation Divine Sect some time to prepare. Once they’ve made their preparations, then launch another attack.

After determining how to attack the Creation Divine Sect, Xu Ying and his group concluded the meeting and began preparing for the attack.

Of course, they wouldn’t accept just these one hundred cities. Although the Creation God Sect had ceded them as a warning, it wasn’t a reason for them to stop. They had two crucial reasons preventing them from stopping after acquiring these one hundred cities. First, Gongliang Juewen was watching. The Creation God Sect had ceded one hundred cities, but these weren’t large cities. In the Divine Kingdom, there were countless small cities like these. For the Creation God Sect, ceding one hundred was insignificant, merely a drop in the ocean. Furthermore, the Myriad Laws Sect was initially able to preach here because they had Gongliang Juewen’s permission. Liang Juewen allowed them to preach in order to use them as a counterbalance to the Creation God Cult. If they were bought off by such a small benefit from the Creation God Cult, they would lose Liang Juewen’s support. If Liang Juewen directly revoked their preaching privileges, it would greatly affect the Blood Slaughter Sect’s future actions. Therefore, Liang Juewen was definitely watching this matter closely. He wanted to see how the Myriad Laws Divine Church would react to the Creation God Cult’s concession. Would they continue to help him counterbalance the Creation God Cult, or would they accept the current situation and cease hostilities? If they made a mistake, the corresponding punishment would follow.

Secondly, their original goal was to share the world equally with the Creation God Cult. They needed to control at least half of the cities in the Divine Kingdom and establish temples in those cities to consider their goal complete; otherwise, they would not stop.

It was precisely because of these two reasons that they absolutely could not stop fighting with the Creation God Cult; they were determined to fight.

The people of the Creation God Cult were also eager to know how the Myriad Laws God Cult would attack next,

and they had already prepared for all sorts of attacks from the Myriad Laws God Cult. The day after Xu Ying and his group finished their meeting, a group attacked a mine belonging to the Creation God Cult outside the city. However, they only attacked the mine briefly before retreating. Although the mine suffered some damage, it wasn’t significant.

The Creation God Cult quickly received the news, and the guards at the mine clearly stated that the attackers were from the Myriad Laws God Cult; they were wearing Myriad Laws God Cult uniforms and using the same attack methods.

After listening to his subordinates’ report, the head of the Creation God Cult frowned. He then summoned several stewards from the temple to his room. Once they were there, he glanced at them and said, “We just received news that one of our mines outside the city was attacked by members of the Myriad Laws God Cult. However, the damage to the mine wasn’t significant. What are your thoughts on this?” The stewards were taken aback, then frowned. One

of them said, “The Divine Kingdom has issued an order forbidding any action within the city. If we act now, the Divine Kingdom will punish us. So we can’t act within the city. The Myriad Laws God Cult obviously feels the same way, which is why they attacked us outside the city. These guys are really persistent.”

“That’s not right. With the Myriad Laws God Cult’s strength, they shouldn’t be unable to take over a mine. Could someone be framing us?”

“No, it must be the Myriad Laws Cult that made the move. Their intention is to tell us that they’ve chosen our properties outside the city as the battleground. They’ll target those properties, and if we can’t hold them, they’ll seize them, leaving us with only the temple in the city. If that happens, our survival will be meaningless. The reason they haven’t attacked our mines isn’t because our defenses are strong, but because they never intended to take them. They want to show us what our fighting style will be like from now on. It’s a declaration of war, and they’ve even given us time to react, showing us that they won’t attack immediately.” “

So you mean the Myriad Laws Cult is informing us that their next move is to attack our properties outside the city, and the battlefield has shifted outside? If we can’t hold those properties, we should leave?”

“I think that’s the idea. Otherwise, with the strength of the Myriad Laws Sect, it’s impossible that they couldn’t even take over a small mine. There’s clearly something wrong here, and this is the only explanation that makes sense.”

“Alright, then we’ll report this matter to the sect immediately and see how they will handle it.”

After the abbot finished speaking, he took out a jade slip, entered some information into it, and then teleported it away. They waited there for news.

Soon, a jade slip appeared on the abbot’s communication array. The abbot picked it up, examined it carefully, and his expression relaxed. He then turned to the other elders in charge and said, “The sect agrees with our analysis. They will send people over as soon as possible to guard the mine.” Hearing this

, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The abbot then said, “Clean up the temple properly; we’re preparing to welcome them.” Everyone responded, and they immediately went outside. He then ordered the disciples of the Creation God Sect to begin cleaning the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws, just like cleaning before a leader’s inspection.

The next day, reinforcements from the Creation God Cult arrived. This time, the Creation God Cult was truly serious. Their reinforcements came in two groups. The first group arrived directly through the city’s teleportation array and went straight to the Creation God Temple to rest. The second group flew over directly. These people didn’t enter the city but went directly to the Creation God Cult’s properties outside the city, preparing to ambush the Myriad Laws Cult.

Although the Myriad Laws Cult had previously alerted them by attacking their mines, which they considered quite sophisticated, it didn’t prevent them from plotting against the Myriad Laws Cult.

Their current act of secretly increasing the defenses of their properties outside the city, while a form of calculation, was a normal calculation, not an insidious one; it was a normal military action, so they didn’t see anything wrong with it.

In fact, Xu Ying and his group had already noticed their actions. They had already sent people to monitor all of the Creation God Cult’s properties outside the city, so it wasn’t surprising that they knew about this.

Xu Ying wasn’t surprised by the Creation God Cult’s actions; such behavior was perfectly normal.

Xu Ying wasn’t in a hurry. Their battle with the Creation God Cult had only just begun. Previous battles were merely a process of mutual probing. The Creation God Cult’s retreat wasn’t out of fear, but rather out of respect for Gongliang Juewen. The establishment of the Myriad Laws Cult was permitted by Gongliang Juewen. If the Creation God Cult attacked them with full force immediately after their establishment, wouldn’t that be disrespectful to Gongliang Juewen? Wouldn’t Gongliang Juewen think the Creation God Cult was targeting him? Then he could openly and legitimately deal with the Creation God Cult. The people of the Divine Transformation Sect had only just ceded one hundred cities. This was a gesture of respect from the Divine Transformation Sect towards Gongliang Juewen. After those one hundred cities, it would be a real fight. At this point, if they fought, Gongliang Juewen wouldn’t have any grounds for complaint. “I’ve already given you face,” he said, “I’ve ceded one hundred cities. If you want me to cede more, that’s unreasonable. The Divine Transformation Sect isn’t to be trifled with. With our current strength, even if we’re no longer the state religion, we can still thrive. If you really provoke us, we’ll go underground or cause trouble, and that would be enough to give the Divine Kingdom a hard time.”

Most importantly, the people of the Divine Transformation Sect knew very well that Gongliang Juewen would absolutely not allow them to cause trouble. If they did, what would happen to the sects that had been suppressed? What would happen to the powerful families? The Gongliang family alone couldn’t possibly deal with the Divine Transformation Sect. What would happen if he used the power of other powerful families? Would those powerful families amass armies and declare themselves kings, leaving the Gongliang family with no right to rule the land? Therefore, Gongliang Juewen wouldn’t do that; they were testing each other.

This battle between the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and the Creation Divine Sect wasn’t just a battle between them, but also a test between Gongliang Juewen and the Creation Divine Sect. Everyone was searching for a balance, just seeing who could find it better.

The Creation Divine Sect members were well aware that Gongliang Juewen was watching them, and Xu Ying and the others understood this as well. The next step was to see how the battle unfolded. If the Myriad Laws Divine Sect could continue to dominate the Creation Divine Sect, it meant Gongliang Juewen had made the right move. If the Myriad Laws Divine Sect failed to gain the upper hand and was defeated instead, then the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was finished, and they would lose all of Gongliang Juewen’s support.

Moreover, Xu Ying believed that Gongliang Juewen was not the only one watching their battle. People from other aristocratic families and sects were also watching them closely. They were like wild wolves, all drooling as they watched these two beasts fight. Once the battle was over, they would probably rush in and try to get a share of the spoils.
