Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16227

Chapter 16225. Counterattack

Don’t underestimate the importance of a platform. With the Aristocratic Family Alliance platform, many aristocratic families can find allies when undertaking any action. Like this time, the five major aristocratic families wanted to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. They only needed to shout on the platform, and many other aristocratic families would be willing to work with them. They only needed to agree on how to distribute the profits, and then they could take action against the Myriad Laws Divine Sect.

In fact, the Sect Alliance works similarly. It’s impossible for all sects to mobilize for every event; there are simply too many sects. Therefore, the Sect Alliance also serves as a platform, allowing all sects to find allies.

While the Aristocratic Family Alliance was making preparations, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was also making preparations. Their preparations were quite simple: they strengthened the defenses of some industries and temples, and simultaneously launched attacks on some small cities. Their approach to those small cities was very simple: they turned all the people of those cities into their own people.

The Blood Slaughter Sect has always had this habit: they don’t like the presence of people who don’t belong to them on their territory. Therefore, they will definitely turn everyone on their territory into their own people. The situation of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is already an exception, because in many cities where the Myriad Laws Divine Sect’s temples are located, only a small number of rogue cultivators are members of the Blood Slaughter Sect, and the rest are not. Xu Ying wants to take advantage of this opportunity to turn all the people in some small towns into their own people.

“How are the preparations going with those aristocratic families?”

“Your Majesty, they’re almost finished. It seems they’ll be launching an attack on the Myriad Laws Sect soon.”

“What’s the Myriad Laws Sect’s reaction?”

“Your Majesty, they don’t seem to be reacting much. They’ve only strengthened the defenses of some of their assets and moved more people there. Other than that, I don’t see any other preparations.”

“Fools! Those guys from the Myriad Laws Sect don’t think those aristocratic families will be polite to them. Fine, let them suffer a bit, and they’ll behave. In any case, they can weaken those families, which is good for us.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Go, continue monitoring them. I want to see how strong those people are.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Everyone, we’ve been discussing this for several days now. We’ve already broken ties with the Myriad Laws Sect. After these few days of discussion, we’ve all decided on how to attack them. Shouldn’t we act now? The Myriad Laws Sect must have made preparations these past few days. The later we attack, the better they’ll prepare, and the greater the losses for each family’s disciples will be. I don’t think anyone wants that, right? So, shouldn’t we act now?”

The speaker was the Xie family head. Hearing this, the other family heads all nodded. Then one family head said, “Family head Xie is right. We should indeed act now. Otherwise, if we wait until later to act…” “Our losses will be great.”

This time, no one objected. The Xie family head glanced at everyone and said, “We’ve already assigned each family which city’s Wanfa Divine Sect to attack. If everyone has no objections, let’s go back. We’ll prepare today, and attack promptly tomorrow night. Even if we can’t wipe out the Wanfa Divine Sect this time, we must make them relinquish most of their assets. Not destroying the Wanfa Divine Sect is to save face for His Majesty, but we must take back those assets.”

Everyone responded. Then, one family member spoke up, “But this time, we must act within the city. Won’t His Majesty blame us?”

“Don’t worry, with so many of us acting together, His Majesty will definitely not blame us. You don’t need to worry. “

“Alright, then let’s go back and prepare. We’ll attack promptly tomorrow.”

No one objected, so everyone stood up, clasped their hands in a fist salute, and left. The Xie family head, however, did not leave, because this was his home, and the meeting was being held at the Xie family residence.

The following night, all the major families were ready. They had already made arrangements with the smaller families in the city, who would cooperate with their actions. So, the major families also secretly sent their people into the city through the smaller families, waiting for the night’s operation.

As darkness fell, everyone awaited the attack. Finally, at the hour of Hai (9-11 PM), the various families began their assault, as agreed upon at that time.

At Hai hour, the families launched their attack on the temple of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. However, they were immediately stunned by what they discovered: the temple was protected by a magical array.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They hadn’t expected the temple to be protected by such an array. It was then that they remembered the Myriad Laws Divine Sect’s expertise in setting up arrays, especially defensive ones. During their previous conflict with the Creation Divine Sect, they had even deployed arrays at some of their properties. However, with their vast holdings, they had stopped deploying arrays there. But now, attacking the temple of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, they were naturally prepared to deploy one.

The aristocratic families wanted to try and break the magic array, but after several attempts, they realized it was impossible. Breaking the array would create too much noise and could harm ordinary people in the city. If they did harm ordinary people, the royal family would not let them off the hook. Therefore, they had to abandon their attack on the temple of the Myriad Laws Sect.

Those who attacked the temple immediately contacted their families to see how the attacks on other locations were going. They soon received news that the Myriad Laws Sect had only set up defensive arrays at the temple within the city; they hadn’t set up any defensive arrays at their properties outside the city. Therefore, all of the Myriad Laws Sect’s properties outside the city had been seized by the aristocratic families.

It can be said that the Myriad Laws Sect suffered enormous losses that night, with a large number of disciples dying and a large amount of property lost.

Everyone was watching this closely, wanting to know what the Myriad Laws Sect would do next, including the aristocratic families.

To the surprise of the powerful families, the Myriad Laws Sect reacted the very next day. They declared war on all families that had attacked them, and declared all those who had helped them enemies, vowing a fight to the death. Upon

hearing this declaration, the families laughed. They thought the Myriad Laws Sect was simply afraid and issuing this bluff, but they genuinely didn’t care. Did the Myriad Laws Sect really think they could wipe them all out?

However, the families quickly understood the Myriad Laws Sect’s intentions.

Instead of directly attacking the major families’ properties, they launched an attack on the smaller families in the cities with Myriad Laws Temples. Their reasoning was simple: these smaller families had helped the major families against them, so they were retaliating.

Moreover, this attack was almost simultaneous, wiping out all the minor clans in those cities without leaving a single survivor. All the businesses of those minor clans in the cities were also taken over by the Myriad Laws Sect. Most importantly, they attacked the minor clans at the same time; the minor clans in over a thousand cities were wiped out by the Myriad Laws Sect.

Their actions stunned all the clans. They hadn’t expected the Myriad Laws Sect to do such a thing, and so ruthlessly at that. While the major clans were powerful, those minor clans were also an important part of their power. If the major clans were spiders, then those minor clans were the webs they spun. Now that the web had been destroyed, they could no longer use it to hunt; they had essentially lost control of those cities in an instant.

The reason why those powerful families gave Gongliang Juewen such a headache was precisely because of the existence of these smaller families. These smaller families, also considering themselves powerful, naturally sought to align themselves with the larger families, showing little affinity for the royal family. It could be said that the combined power of these large and small families was a major headache for the royal family.

Furthermore, because these smaller families were so numerous and controlled important positions in the cities, Gongliang Juewen was very wary of them and unable to ruthlessly eliminate them.

However, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect didn’t care about such things; they simply wiped out all the smaller families. As for whether the city lords would be without capable men after the elimination of these smaller families, they didn’t care. The fact that they had wiped out the smaller families created a power vacuum at the grassroots level in many cities, causing the city lords considerable headaches.

However, upon hearing this news, Gongliang Juewen’s eyes lit up. He immediately dispatched many members of the royal family to those cities to take over their positions. This action greatly surprised the aristocratic families who had not yet reacted. They truly did not expect Gongliang Juewen to do such a thing. In this way, although the city lords of many cities were still members of these great aristocratic families, the lower-level officials all became members of the royal family. This was equivalent to the control of those cities returning to the hands of the royal family. Now those aristocratic families were truly afraid.
