Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16234

Chapter 16232. Meeting

However, those people were overthinking things. They had no idea that what happened in Xingyang City quickly reached Gongliang Juewen’s ears. Gongliang Juewen immediately sent people to Xingyang City to investigate. When he learned of the situation, he was shocked.

All the aristocratic families in Xingyang City had vanished overnight. There weren’t even many signs of fighting left in their homes; they had simply disappeared. This surprised Gongliang Juewen, but he still immediately dispatched people to take over Xingyang City. He had to restore order to Xingyang City as quickly as possible.

However, just as he sent his men into Xingyang City, he suddenly discovered that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was also acting swiftly. They had already taken over all the families’ businesses in the city, and the businesses were now operating again.

Now, Gongliang Juewen was certain who had done it. He had some doubts before, since he thought the Myriad Laws Sect should be dealing with the five major families, not suddenly targeting the families in Xingyang City so thoroughly. Most importantly, they even left a provocative message at the Xing family’s place – this didn’t seem like the Myriad Laws Sect’s style.

Now he was certain it was the Myriad Laws Sect who had acted. This was something Gongliang Juewen hadn’t expected. However, he wanted to see how the aristocratic families would react. The Myriad Laws Sect had wiped out an entire city’s aristocratic families and even provoked them; he believed they would definitely retaliate.

His guess was absolutely right. The powerful families did indeed react. Upon hearing the news, they immediately sent people to Xingyang City to investigate. They discovered that the information they received was true: all the powerful families, large and small, in Xingyang City had been wiped out, and their remaining assets had all fallen into the hands of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. Therefore, they could be certain that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was

behind this operation. Moreover, they saw the provocative stone left behind by the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, which infuriated them. The five major families immediately informed all the other powerful families, including those that had not participated in the battle. This wasn’t to force them to join, but rather to inform them that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect harbored great hostility towards them, and that they needed to be careful.

Upon hearing this news, the other powerful families also held a meeting immediately, and this time all the major families participated.

Once everyone had arrived, an elderly man sitting at the head of the table spoke up: “I think everyone has seen the provocation from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, right? Let’s discuss how to deal with this matter.”

The elderly man’s surname was Gongsun, and his family was recognized as the number one family in the Divine Kingdom, excluding the royal family. Although the royal family was also a large family, the Aristocratic Family Alliance excluded them, so no one considered the royal family as part of the Aristocratic Family Alliance. Apart from the royal family, the Gongsun family was the number one family. The elderly man who spoke was named Gongsun Xing, and he was currently the Prime Minister of the Divine Kingdom, truly second only to the emperor. This meeting was being personally presided over by him, demonstrating the importance the Aristocratic Family Alliance attached to this matter.

To be honest, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect wasn’t really taken seriously by the Aristocratic Alliance. In their eyes, while the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was quite strong, it was far inferior to their alliance. If it weren’t for the royal family’s influence, they wouldn’t even have considered the Creation Divine Sect a threat, let alone a small sect like the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. Although the Myriad Laws Divine Sect had consistently gained the upper hand in their battles against the Creation Divine Sect, no one believed that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was stronger overall.

It was precisely because of this mindset that they didn’t take the Myriad Laws Divine Sect seriously. But this very sect, which they disregarded, was now provoking them, something they couldn’t accept.

For countless years, no one had ever dared to provoke them. While the royal family suppressed them, they only dared to do so covertly. Although sects had some conflicts with them, they never dared to openly break ties. As for the Creation God Sect, it goes without saying that although they were a tool in the royal family’s hands, used to suppress them, the Creation God Sect only dared to engage in small-scale conflicts, never daring to wage a full-scale war or provoke them. Therefore, this was the first time they had faced such a provocation, and that was precisely why they took it so seriously.

They were acutely aware that while this provocation might seem ordinary, merely a matter of empty words, it represented something far more significant.

Previously, no one dared to provoke them, but now someone does. It’s like how no one dared to attack a god before, but one day someone suddenly punched a god, and the god’s health bar started to appear. In this situation, if the god can’t use swift and decisive action to destroy this person, then the god’s majesty will be lost, and the god will fall from their pedestal.

The Myriad Laws Cult is now the one who threw a punch at the god. If the Aristocratic Alliance can’t deal with the Myriad Laws Cult, then the Aristocratic Alliance’s future will definitely be bleak.

It is precisely because they know this that Gongliang Xing came to preside over this meeting, and all the heads of the various aristocratic families also came, fully aware of how important this meeting was.

As soon as Gongliang Xing finished speaking, the Xie family patriarch said, “This matter arose because of us. Let me explain our thoughts. To be honest, our initial motivation for dealing with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was profit. Everyone knows very well what the Myriad Laws Divine Sect does; they are just a newly raised dog of the royal family. Our original idea was to beat this dog until it was hurt and made it behave so it wouldn’t dare to bite anymore. However, we didn’t expect this dog to be a mad dog. Although we gained the upper hand in our battles, they still bit us several times. And this time, they went even further…” “They’re provoking all of us. Clearly, their previous politeness was all an act. They’ve never taken us seriously. If we don’t deal with them properly, if we don’t eliminate them with swift and decisive action, they’ll continue to provoke us, and our aristocratic alliance will be finished. Then, anyone will dare to step on us.”

His words drew nods from everyone. Everyone knew that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was a tool the royal family used against them. Regardless of whether the five great families would confront the Myriad Laws Divine Sect this time, the sect wouldn’t let them off the hook. Conflict was inevitable; it was only a matter of time. This provocation from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was, in their view, deliberate, meant to show them all that the sect didn’t take them seriously. This was their reason for needing to eliminate the sect.

At this moment, another family head spoke up: “This incident isn’t your fault. Judging from the Wanfa Divine Sect’s style of doing things, they certainly don’t take us seriously. So, whether you’re here or not, our battle with the Wanfa Divine Sect was inevitable sooner or later. We must find a way to deal with them now, but that won’t be easy. The Wanfa Divine Sect’s strength is undeniable; dealing with them is truly difficult. Moreover, we still don’t know where their leader, Zhao Hai, usually stays. And let’s not forget, the royal family stands behind the Wanfa Divine Sect.” “Well, the royal family won’t just stand by and watch us wipe out the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. They’ll definitely intervene, and the situation will only become more troublesome.”

Everyone nodded again. They all agreed with the patriarch. Dealing with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect wouldn’t be easy, because it had the support of the royal family, and its strength was already considerable. Eliminating them in one fell swoop was no easy task. For example, when they dealt with the Creation Divine Sect, the entire power of the Divine Kingdom was mobilized to destroy it. Of course, some remnants might have remained, but they couldn’t cause any more trouble.

Although the Myriad Laws Divine Sect wasn’t as strong as the Creation Divine Sect, the whereabouts of its leader, Zhao Hai, remained unknown. Furthermore, the royal family wouldn’t allow them to eliminate the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, so dealing with it would definitely not be easy.

At this moment, a family head spoke up: “No matter how difficult it is, we must deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. Even if we can’t eliminate them, we must cripple them.”

Everyone nodded, but at the same time, they felt a great headache. There was one problem they couldn’t get around in dealing with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect: the royal family. They knew how powerful the royal family was, which was why they hadn’t dared to break ties with them. Behind the Myriad Laws Divine Sect stood the royal family. If they wanted to eliminate the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, they had to take the royal family into consideration.

At this moment, a family head suddenly spoke up, “I think this matter isn’t as difficult as it seems. We don’t dare to easily break ties with the royal family, and the royal family doesn’t dare to easily break ties with us either. So when we deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, we don’t need to pay too much attention to the royal family. At most, the royal family will intervene to stop us when necessary. They wouldn’t dare to openly help the Myriad Laws Divine Sect against us.”

He paused here, then continued, “Moreover, we actually have allies, namely those sects. If we unite with those sects to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and cripple it in one fell swoop, then I’m afraid even the royal family wouldn’t dare to say anything. After all, no matter how powerful the royal family is, they won’t turn against both us and the sects at the same time. In that case, the royal family will have to swallow this bitter pill even if they don’t want to. At that time, the entire divine kingdom’s格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) will probably be rewritten.”
