Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16212
Chapter 16210 is exactly the same.
“What? You mean, all the people we sent to Qingmu City are dead?”
“Yes, Master, they’re all dead, not a single survivor. It’s confirmed, the Zhang family was responsible.”
“Good, good Zhang family indeed. It seems they were the ones who attacked our temple too?”
“Reporting to the Master, we can’t be certain yet. All our people in Qingmu City were poisoned, which is similar to the Zhang family’s method of killing. However, the disciples in the temple were all killed by having their throats slit, unlike the Zhang family’s method.”
“Regardless of whether it was them or not, the deaths this time were definitely their doing, so we can’t let them go. I remember the Zhang family also has some businesses in other places, right? Eliminate those businesses for me.”
“Yes, Master.” “
Reporting, Master, the people we sent to monitor the Hua family are also all dead, all poisoned as well.”
“Good, good, the Hua family! One by one, they really don’t take our Creation God Sect seriously at all. Fine, I’d like to see if you dare to start a war with us. Go, destroy the Hua family’s properties as well.”
“Yes, Sect Master.”
“You mean the Creation God Sect attacked our family’s properties?”
“Yes, Patriarch, it’s not just our family, but also the Hua family’s properties. I heard they sent people to monitor the Hua family, and the Hua family killed their people in return. In retaliation, they attacked the Hua family’s properties.”
“Good, good, the Creation God Sect! You really don’t take us seriously at all! You were the ones who provoked us first, and now you dare to retaliate? You’re courting death! Pass down the order to strengthen the defenses of all our family’s properties, especially the core family properties. They must be protected and cannot be destroyed by the Creation God Sect. If they dare to destroy those properties, we will fight them to the death.”
“Yes, Patriarch.”
After the man left, Zhang Ren’s expression softened. He pondered for a moment, then took out a communication array and a jade slip. After inputting some information into the jade slip, he placed it into the communication array and sent it out. After the jade slip
was sent out, Zhang Ren waited. Soon, a jade slip appeared on the communication array. Zhang Ren picked it up and glanced at its contents. A smile appeared on his face. Then he said in a deep voice, “Someone come in.”
With his voice, a person walked in from outside. This person bowed to Zhang Ren and said, “Patriarch.”
Zhang Ren said in a deep voice, “Please invite the elders to come for a meeting.” The person responded, bowed to Zhang Ren, and then turned and left.
Soon after, several elders of the Zhang family entered the room. They all bowed to Zhang Ren, who nodded and said in a deep voice, “Please sit down.” They all responded and sat down. Once seated, Zhang Ren began, “I think you all know what has happened in the family recently, right?”
He looked at them, and they all nodded. Zhang Ren continued, “The Hua family has encountered the same situation as ours, exactly the same. I just sent a letter to the Hua family head, who said that their family’s properties were attacked first, and then they discovered members of the Creation God Cult…” They killed the members of the Creation God Cult, and the Creation God Cult began to retaliate, almost exactly like our family. What are your thoughts on this?”
Everyone was stunned, then they exchanged glances. One of the elders spoke up, “If it were only our family doing this, we could say it was a misunderstanding. But now both families are doing this, so this is definitely not a misunderstanding. There must be something strange about this.”
The others all nodded in agreement. Just as the elder said, if it were only their family doing this, it might still be a misunderstanding, but if both families were doing this, then there was definitely something strange about this.
Zhang Ren nodded and then said, “Go on.”
The elder responded and continued, “I think there are only two possibilities in this matter. First, someone is trying to sow discord between us and the Creation God Cult. They know about our relationship with the Creation God Cult, so they want to sow discord between us and the Creation God Cult. That’s why they implemented this plan. The plan is very simple. They kill our family members first. We will definitely investigate. Once we start investigating, we will find people from the Creation God Cult. We have conflicts with the Creation God Cult. Once we find their people, they will definitely think that they are the ones who killed our family members. Then we will deal with them. Even if we know that they are not the ones who did it, we will still deal with them. When the people from the Creation God Cult find out that we have dealt with their people, they will retaliate. In this way, our two sides will go to war, and then they can reap the benefits.”
“Another possibility is that the Creation God Cult was behind this. They set a trap, deliberately sending people here to kill our disciples, then letting us discover them. This way, we’ll retaliate, and they’ll have an excuse to deal with us.”
“But if the Creation God Cult orchestrated this themselves, what’s their purpose? They’re currently fighting the Myriad Laws Cult, and it seems they’re consistently at a disadvantage. Provoking us at this time wouldn’t benefit them at all. They have no reason to do this.”
“There’s a reason for it. They’ve been at a disadvantage in their struggle against the Myriad Laws Sect, which is why they’ve started a war with us. Their consistently poor performance has severely damaged their reputation. The Creation Sect has many enemies, not just us and the Hua family. If their other enemies discover how weak they’ve become, they probably won’t let them off the hook. So they need an enemy, someone weaker than themselves, someone they can handle. That’s why they’ve chosen us and the Hua family. While our two families aren’t weak, they’re definitely not strong against the Creation Sect. Although our poisons can cause them some trouble, if the Creation Sect really tries to outlast us, we’ll be the first to give up. How many people does the Creation Sect have? How many do we have?” “If it were a true war of attrition, we couldn’t outlast them. It’s precisely because we can’t outlast them that they chose us. They want to use us to establish their authority, to tell everyone that they are still very strong and not just anyone can deal with them.”
Zhang Ren frowned upon hearing the elder’s words. The elder was right. Although his family and the Hua family were renowned and powerful, ranking among the aristocratic families, they were far inferior to the Creation God Sect. Even if the two families joined forces, they wouldn’t be a match for the Creation God Sect. If the Creation God Sect were to engage in a war of attrition, they could truly wear them down. In this way, the Creation God Sect would establish its authority, essentially telling others, “See? We are still very strong. The reason we suffered losses at the hands of the Myriad Laws God Sect wasn’t because we were weak, but because the Myriad Laws God Sect was too strong. So don’t mess with us.”
This scenario isn’t impossible; in fact, many people in the world do this. It’s human nature. If you’re beaten by a strong and powerful person and can’t fight back because you’re outmatched, what do you do? Find someone weaker than you, beat them up, and let everyone see that you can still fight, that you can still inflict damage. This way, some timid people won’t dare to mess with you anymore.
So, it’s not impossible for the Creation God Cult to do something like this. However, if the Creation God Cult really did this, then it’s truly troublesome. It means that the Creation God Cult genuinely wants to deal with them, and no matter what they do, this battle is inevitable.
Zhang Ren spoke up, “If this whole thing was orchestrated by the Creation God Sect, then we’re in real trouble. You all know that even with the Hua family’s help, we’re no match for the Creation God Sect.”
Everyone nodded. Then, an elder spoke up, “Actually, if someone else instigated this, it’s even more troublesome. Who instigated it? Based on the current situation, there are only three possibilities: First, the Myriad Laws Sect. But I think that’s unlikely, because the Myriad Laws Sect is relatively new, and their goal has always been very clear: to deal with the Creation God Sect. In their struggle against the Creation God Sect, they’ve always had the upper hand. I heard they recently made an agreement with the Creation God Sect: if they build a new temple, they’ll wager on it. This is advantageous for the Myriad Laws Sect. In such a favorable situation, they wouldn’t provoke us again. There’s no need. Provoking us brings them no benefit whatsoever, except for creating another enemy. What good would it do them? They expect us to wage war against the Creation God Sect, but they’re already at odds with…” “In the struggle against the Creation God Sect, they’ve always held the upper hand. If they were at a disadvantage, hoping we would wage war against them to help alleviate their pressure would be understandable. But they’re currently in a winning position, so there’s absolutely no need for them to do so. Therefore, I think the Myriad Laws Sect is unlikely to be involved.”
Everyone nodded, and then the elder continued, “Secondly, it could be those sects. That’s possible. Those sects also have grudges against the Creation God Sect, but the Creation God Sect is quite powerful. If they directly engage in war with them, they might suffer losses.” Therefore, they intend to sow discord between us and the Creation God Cult, causing us to weaken each other. And let’s not forget, when we talk about sects now, we always see them as a unified whole. In reality, those sects are all independent entities, just like our various aristocratic families. When people talk about aristocratic families, they assume we are a unified entity, an alliance, but we all know that we have conflicts among ourselves. The same applies to those sects. Therefore, not all sects necessarily want to oppose the Creation God Cult, so it’s possible they are trying to sow discord between us.”
