Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16228

Chapter 16226 Methods

reason those powerful families dared to disrespect the royal family was because they controlled most of the cities in the Divine Kingdom. The city lords were from these major families, while the lower-level officials were from smaller families. They were allies, and through this method, these families completely controlled the cities, integrating themselves with them. This made it impossible for Gongliang Juewen to deal with them, because to do so, one would have to replace all the city lords and officials, which was virtually impossible.

However, the actions of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect this time made those families realize how ridiculous their self-proclaimed control was. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect directly uprooted those families.

The smaller families, like nerve endings, helped the major families control the various cities of the Divine Kingdom, while the major families, in turn, provided protection for the smaller families. This is why their alliance appeared so powerful.

This time, the Myriad Laws Sect’s approach was to directly eliminate the minor aristocratic families, wiping them out completely. This also severed the major aristocratic families’ control over the cities, effectively removing their lifeline. The Myriad Laws Sect’s actions struck at the heart of these major aristocratic families, causing them immense losses.

These families will no longer be able to control the cities, and the businesses they seized outside the cities will become rootless and adrift, making them extremely difficult to control.

It’s important to understand that these businesses outside the cities lacked teleportation arrays; they required passengers to first enter the city and then travel from there to their businesses. Now, with no one in the city to meet them, sending people to those businesses has become incredibly difficult.

The aristocratic families were now panicked, but they were powerless to do anything. Even if they seized all the properties outside the cities owned by the Myriad Laws Sect, it wouldn’t make a difference, because the Myriad Laws Sect controlled the properties within the cities. Although the members of each aristocratic family remained the city lords, the lower-level officials were no longer affiliated with them, and their influence in the cities had virtually vanished. This was a huge loss for them.

What troubled the aristocratic families even more was that after wiping out the smaller families, the Myriad Laws Sect didn’t seize the official positions. They only took control of the properties, leaving the official posts to Gongliang Juewen. Gongliang Juewen used this opportunity to effectively control the cities, ensuring his support for the Myriad Laws Sect, which would only further disadvantage the aristocratic families.

However, those powerful families were completely helpless. All the temples of the Myriad Laws Sect were protected by defensive arrays. Even for a kingdom-level expert, breaking through these arrays was no easy task. In other words, they were utterly powerless against the Myriad Laws Sect.

Only then did those families understand why the Creation God Sect had consistently suffered losses against the Myriad Laws Sect. The Myriad Laws Sect truly didn’t play by the rules. Those powerful families never expected that their attacks on the Myriad Laws Sect wouldn’t be met with attacks on them, but instead, the sect would directly target the smaller families. They had never encountered such an enemy before.

Previously, the enemies of those families were all directed at them; at least there was a principle of retribution. If the powerful families attacked them, those enemies would attack them in return. Frankly, facing such an enemy, those powerful families weren’t afraid at all.

But now, these powerful families attacked the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, and the sect directly retaliated against the smaller families. This not only weakened the power of the powerful families but also their influence. Most importantly, the smaller families were allied with the powerful families. They helped the powerful families for two reasons: first, to establish a relationship so that the powerful families could help them in the future; and second, for profit. The powerful families wouldn’t use them for free; after the powerful families reaped the benefits, they would share some with the smaller families—the powerful families got the lion’s share, and the smaller families got a small portion.

But now? Now, those minor aristocratic families have risked their lives for a single bowl of soup. This means that if the major aristocratic families ever want their help again, those minor families will have to think twice. They’ll have to consider the consequences of their actions, which would severely weaken the influence of the major aristocratic families – a truly terrifying prospect. What’s even more

unsettling for the major aristocratic families is that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect’s actions have set a precedent for Gongliang Juewen. Previously, Gongliang Juewen only had his eyes on the major aristocratic families, aiming to weaken their influence. He would suppress them, and the major aristocratic families would unite against him, leaving him powerless to stop them.

However, the Myriad Laws Sect has now served as a wake-up call for Gongliang Juewen, warning him not to focus solely on the powerful clans. The smaller clans might be the true foundation; eliminating them would weaken the larger ones. If Gongliang Juewen truly grasps this, he will undoubtedly target the smaller clans, completely weakening their power and rendering them unable to oppose him as before.

It can be said that the Myriad Laws Sect’s move has struck at the heart of the powerful clans. Most importantly, Gongliang Juewen reacted even faster, immediately seizing control of the cities. Although these powerful clans still possess assets outside the cities, without those cities as a foothold, those assets will eventually fall into the hands of others.

Upon seeing this situation, the five major families immediately summoned all their members. The smaller families were not qualified to attend their meeting, so the families present remained the same, seemingly without any apparent loss. However, their expressions were incredibly grave. The Jiang

family head glanced at everyone and then spoke, “I think you all know what the Myriad Laws Divine Sect has done. To be honest, I truly didn’t expect them to be so ruthless, wiping out all those smaller families. Now we are in a very passive position. I would like to hear your opinions on what to do next.”

The group exchanged glances, remaining silent. Frankly, they had no good solutions. It was true that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect had killed too many people, but Gongliang Juewen had benefited and wouldn’t help them. Moreover, in the struggle against the smaller families, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was the victor, and they, as victors, would not be punished.

Looking at everyone’s expressions, the Jiang family head’s face darkened, but he said nothing and waited quietly. After a while, one of the family heads finally spoke up: “Now, in the cities where the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws exists, almost all the small families have been wiped out. Too many people have died, but His Majesty doesn’t seem to blame the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws at all, because His Majesty has gained the greatest benefit. However, it is precisely because of this that we need to retaliate even more, otherwise, the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws will turn against us. So my idea is to send people directly into those cities and destroy the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws no matter what.”

“No, the Myriad Laws Temple is covered by defensive arrays. When the Creation God Cult fought against the Myriad Laws Temple, they considered breaking through their defensive arrays, but they found it wasn’t worthwhile and ultimately didn’t. Moreover, the Myriad Laws Temple’s defensive arrays are too strong. If we try to break them, we’ll injure other people in the city. Then His Majesty will have a reason to deal with us, which will only be more disadvantageous for us.”

The crowd fell silent again. They all knew the patriarch was right. Their biggest headache right now was the sheer number of defensive arrays the Myriad Laws Temple had set up; breaking through them would be incredibly difficult.

At this moment, one of the family heads spoke up: “I do have a plan. The headquarters of the Myriad Laws Sect isn’t in the city right now. Although their headquarters is certainly more heavily defended, if we can concentrate all our forces and break through their headquarters in one fell swoop, killing everyone there, the pressure on the Myriad Laws Sect will be immense. If we can kill their leader, the Myriad Laws Sect will be finished. However, to destroy their headquarters, we’ll need even more manpower, so all the family heads…” “The entire clan must contribute! We’ll definitely be able to wipe out the Myriad Laws Divine Sect!”

Upon hearing this, the heads of the five major clans were initially taken aback, but their eyes lit up. They felt that their patriarch was absolutely right. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect was indeed powerful, but its headquarters wasn’t in the city. As long as it wasn’t in the city, no matter how they attacked the headquarters, they wouldn’t harm innocent people. This way, they could exert their full strength. If they could really destroy the headquarters, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect would be finished.

Patriarch Xie said in a deep voice, “That’s a good idea. Although he said that destroying the headquarters would be troublesome, if we really succeed, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect will be finished. Does anyone have any good ideas?”

Upon hearing this, the other patriarchs understood the meaning of the five major clans. They agreed to use this method, which relieved them all. They had been completely helpless before, but now they had a way. They just needed to refine the method, which put their minds at ease.
