Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16239

Chapter 16237. Punishment (Part 1)

Ding Chunming was right. No one knew how many gods they would encounter after their ascension. This was why Zhao Hai and the others stayed here to improve their strength. They were preparing for their ascension so that they wouldn’t be overwhelmed by gods afterward. If things really came to that, it would be too late to regret it. Chang

Jun and the others all nodded. After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed. Chang Jun also told Xu Ying to leave and prepare to deal with the attacks from the aristocratic families and sects.

Upon returning to the Myriad Laws Sect, Xu Ying immediately began his operation. He gathered some of the sect’s top experts and they returned together to the sect’s main hall. He also informed the members of the various temples within the sect of their plan, making it clear that staying would mean certain death when the powerful families and sects attacked. He told them that anyone who didn’t want to die could return to their sect now. However, none of them

went back. For the disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect, what did dying matter? They could be resurrected repeatedly; dying once was truly insignificant. Moreover, they received rewards within the sect for each death, so they were genuinely unafraid of death. Because of

this, Xu Ying and his group’s arrangements proceeded smoothly, and they quickly completed them without outsiders noticing the changes within the Myriad Laws Sect.

The aristocratic families and sects were also searching for Xu Ying and his group, but since the attack on the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, they had simply vanished. The aristocratic families and sects assumed that Xu Ying and his group were frightened by the previous incident and had gone into hiding, so they didn’t pay much attention. In their view, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect had only been established for a short time, and they couldn’t possibly have any secret bases. Therefore, they assumed Xu Ying and his group were hiding in one of the temples. They believed that as long as they destroyed all the temples of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, they would be able to find them.

In truth, neither the aristocratic families nor the sects held the Myriad Laws Divine Sect in high regard. After all, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect had only been established for a short time. Although they had gained some advantage in the previous conflict with the Creation Divine Sect, most of the time they had only managed to gain an advantage by taking advantage of the Creation Divine Sect’s conflicts with others. It could be said that apart from the final battle where everyone attacked the Creation Divine Sect together, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect hadn’t fought any real battles. Therefore, they naturally looked down on the strength of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect.

The powerful families and sects knew they couldn’t wait too long. The longer things dragged on, the greater the chance the Myriad Laws Divine Sect would receive the news. Actually, their primary concern wasn’t the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, but the royal family. They were well aware that the royal family had placed people within the sects and families. If they delayed too long, the royal family might receive news of their plans to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, which could lead to unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, they had to act quickly.

Five days after Gongsun Xing and Qingxuan’s agreement, everything was ready. All the powerful families and sects had sent their experts to the cities where the Myriad Laws Divine Temple was to be attacked, and they were prepared to launch their assault.

They also knew that the most important thing in attacking the Myriad Laws Cult was to break the Myriad Laws Cult’s Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation. They had to break the Myriad Laws Cult’s Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation and kill the people of the Myriad Laws Cult within one night. Otherwise, once the royal family reacted, they would definitely support the Myriad Laws Cult, and then they would have no choice but to retreat. They could not afford to break ties with the royal family now.

However, they had learned from their previous mistakes. They discovered that breaking the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation of the Myriad Laws Sect was no easy task. Even with formation-breaking talismans, it wasn’t guaranteed to be broken quickly. Therefore, they devised a method to break the formation in a shorter time. This method was actually quite simple: concentrate the use of formation-breaking talismans. Previously, they used them scattered, lining up in a row and throwing them out together. While this worked, the talismans applied to different points within the formation, which was ineffective against a tortoise-like formation like the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation. Otherwise, the five great families wouldn’t have taken several days to break the defensive formation at the Myriad Laws Sect’s headquarters.

But what if they concentrated their talismans? Everyone would use their talismans on a single target point, ensuring all the talismans acted on the same point, potentially breaking the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation in one go.

That’s why all the members of those aristocratic families and sects carried a large number of formation-breaking talismans.

Night fell quickly, and the families and sects were all prepared. Once it was completely dark, they began their attack. The members of each family and sect rushed to the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws to attack it. However, as soon as they attacked, the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws immediately activated the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation. The families and sects, already prepared, immediately sprang into action. The attackers concentrated their forces and simultaneously threw out formation-breaking talismans, all targeting the same point.

With a deafening roar, the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation actually broke open, startling the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples. They then launched an attack on the disciples of the aristocratic families and sects, who immediately retaliated. The two sides fought fiercely, exchanging blows.

The Blood Slaughter Sect disciples, not being at the Kingdom level, quickly found themselves at a disadvantage. However, they were prepared to die; they chose to perish together with the aristocratic families and sects, a tactic that resulted in heavy losses for the latter.

The night passed, and by the next morning, all the disciples in the temples of the Myriad Laws Sect were dead, including many Kingdom-level experts.

However, the aristocratic families and sects were not happy. They knew Xu Ying and Zhao Hai, but neither was among those who died in the battle. Moreover, while many disciples of the Myriad Laws Sect perished, the proportion of Kingdom-level experts seemed unusually low.

Although the aristocratic families and sects looked down on the Myriad Laws Sect, considering their strength mediocre, they still knew the sect’s approximate strength, having previously fought alongside them against the Creation Sect. The Myriad Laws Sect possessed a considerable number of Kingdom-level experts, but this time, during their attack, they found very few. Furthermore, the absence of Zhao Hai and Xu Ying immediately led them to realize that all the Myriad Laws Sect’s experts were hiding, their whereabouts unknown.

The aristocratic families and sects had considered using soul-searching to find Xu Ying and Zhao Hai, but they quickly discovered that this method was simply not feasible. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect was also a sect, and its members would simply turn into a white light and disappear after death, leaving no trace of their bodies, let alone soul-searching. Therefore, they truly obtained no clues whatsoever.

Gongliang Juewen only received the news the next day. When he heard that all the temples of the Myriad Laws Sect had been destroyed, his face immediately darkened. With a bang, he smashed the desk in front of him to pieces. Then he said coldly, “What do they want to do? Aristocratic families and sects, how dare they attack the Myriad Laws Sect? Do they even respect me, the emperor? I think they are courting death. Summon Gongsun Xing and Qingxuan to see me now, immediately!”

The eunuch responded and immediately went to deliver the order. Gongliang Juewen sat there quietly, his face frosty. The eunuch carefully cleaned up the debris from the desk and brought in a new one. Throughout this process, Gongliang Juewen remained seated with his eyes closed, not moving an inch.

Within half an hour, a eunuch entered the room and bowed to Gongliang Juewen, saying, “Your Majesty, Lord Gongsun Xing and Daoist Qingxuan are awaiting your orders outside.”

“Let them in,”

the eunuch replied, then turned and left the room. A moment later, Gongsun Xing and Qingxuan entered. This was Gongliang Juewen’s study, not very large. Gongliang Juewen sat behind his desk, his face frosty.

The two quickly bowed to Gongliang Juewen, saying, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

Gongliang Juewen glanced at them, then snorted, “Gentlemen, you’ve done quite a thing! Without my orders, you dared to attack the Myriad Laws Divine Sect! Don’t you know that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect played a crucial role in annihilating the Creation Divine Sect? They rendered meritorious service to the country, yet you dared to attack them? You have quite the audacity!”

Gongliang Juewen didn’t shout, but his face was frosty, and his eyes were as cold as eternal ice.

Gongsun Xing and Qingxuan immediately knelt down. Gongsun Xing said, “Your Majesty, it’s not that I necessarily want to take action against the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, but the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect have gone too far. They attacked court officials without cause, and they have long harbored rebellious intentions. It is precisely because of this that we took action against the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. We are worried that another Creation Divine Sect will emerge. Please forgive us, Your Majesty.”

Qingxuan did not speak and knelt down with Gongsun Xing. Gongliang Juewen looked at the two of them, his face becoming even more grim. He looked at Gongsun Xing and then said in a deep voice, “Gongsun Xing, although you are the Prime Minister of the Empire, you have gone too far this time. You mobilized a large army without cause to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, and without my permission. It seems that you don’t want to be Prime Minister anymore. Guards, issue an edict to strip Gongsun Xing of his position as Prime Minister and never employ him again.”
