Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16243

Chapter 16241. Preparation

After hearing Qingxuan’s words, the sect leaders all fell silent. Then, one sect leader spoke up, “I also agree not to participate in this matter.” Several other sect leaders followed suit, expressing their refusal to participate. Qingxuan

glanced at everyone and then said, “Let’s vote by raising our hands. If everyone agrees not to participate, then we will not participate.” He then raised his hand, and everyone else followed suit.

Seeing that everyone had raised their hands, Qingxuan nodded, then lowered his hands and said, “Since everyone agrees, we won’t participate in this matter. Everyone must remember that the most important reason our sect has survived until now is because of our unity. This time we’ve made this decision, whether it’s right or wrong, don’t complain in the future, understand?” Everyone

nodded, indicating they understood. Qingxuan nodded again and said, “Good, it’s good that everyone understands. Then everyone go back first and explain things to the other sects. As for those aristocratic families, let’s not worry about them for now. Anyway, we don’t need to report our affairs to them. As long as we are united, we have no reason to be afraid of them.”

Everyone nodded again, and Qingxuan let them leave. Everyone bowed to Qingxuan and then turned to leave. After everyone had left, Qingxuan sighed softly and then said, “Someone, go and invite the sect leaders and elders over.” A disciple immediately responded and went to fetch them.

Soon, Qingming and the others were invited to Qingxuan’s study. After they arrived, Qingxuan asked them to sit down and then explained his decision. Finally, he looked at them and said, “This matter is extremely important to us. If we don’t participate, perhaps some of our disciples will be able to re-enter the court, which would be very beneficial for us. However, we must also be careful. If the Myriad Laws Sect retaliates against us, we must repel them and avoid too many losses ourselves. In short, this time we will sit back and watch the tigers fight.”

Everyone agreed. Qingming said, “This time, those aristocratic families will likely suffer a great loss. Even with our help, they probably won’t fare well. If we participate, we will be drawn into it. So, not participating in this operation is the right thing to do. I completely agree with Senior Brother’s decision.”

The others all nodded, indicating their agreement with Qingxuan’s decision. Qingxuan glanced at them and then said in a deep voice, “Good, it’s good that everyone agrees. With that, I can rest assured. Everyone, make arrangements for our sect these next few days.” “Don’t let anything go wrong. This time, the royal family probably won’t let those aristocratic families off the hook. We’ll just watch from the sidelines and absolutely not get involved. So keep the disciples under control.”

Everyone responded. Qingxuan then said, “I know some disciples see this as an opportunity because they’re resentful after being suppressed by the royal family. But for the future of the sect, they absolutely cannot act recklessly. We can’t let them drag us into this mess. Do you all understand?”

Everyone responded. Qingxuan continued, “This time, we are indeed taking a risk, but it’s a decision I made after weighing the pros and cons. Not getting involved is a good thing for us, though it could also be a bad thing. We’re gambling, but I think this time it’s worth the gamble.”

Everyone nodded. Qingxuan continued, “Alright, everyone go back now. Tell the disciples under you to absolutely not act recklessly.” They all responded, then stood up, bowed to Qingxuan, and turned to leave.

Watching them leave, Qingxuan let out a long sigh. He murmured, “The royal family’s attitude is so firm, which means their ancestor might still be alive. Oh well, regardless of whether the royal family’s ancestor is still alive or not, we can no longer get involved in this matter.”

On the other side, the Blood Slaughter Sect quickly received the news. After learning that other sects would not interfere in this matter, Chang Jun smiled slightly. This was for the best. The royal family and the aristocratic families were fighting to the death. If the Myriad Laws Divine Sect got involved, only if the sects remained hidden would the royal family pay less attention to them once they saw that the sects were not involved. This would make it easier for him to make his move.

Meanwhile, Gongsun Xing and his men were already prepared. The next morning, Gongliang Juewen was sitting in his room processing documents when a eunuch rushed in, bowed, and said, “Your Majesty, all the officials from aristocratic families have just resigned. All departments of the Three Provinces and Six Ministries are now at a standstill. Please make a decision as soon as possible.”

Gongliang Juewen paused, then slowly put down the documents in his hand. He said in a deep voice, “Good, they finally resorted to this tactic. But they don’t think I was completely unprepared, do they? Go, issue the order to have Wei Daban take the inner court personnel to immediately take over the Three Provinces and Six Ministries and restore normal operations. By the way, what about the families who are city lords?”

“Your Majesty, they haven’t made any moves. On the contrary, I’ve heard that those families are sending people to those cities; they seem to want to completely control them.”

“Very well, very well indeed. It seems they are determined to force me to submit this time. Go, issue the order to summon Wu Daban, and also send a letter to Zhao Hai, asking him to come see me.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

After the eunuch left, Gongliang Juewen sat there quietly, his face revealing neither joy nor anger. He had long anticipated this day, and thus he had made preparations. Over the years, he had expanded the inner court to guard against this tactic of the aristocratic families. Ever since Gongliang Juewen discovered the excessive number of aristocratic family members in the court, he had been on guard against this tactic. He hadn’t expected that the aristocratic families would actually use this method. This was perfect; he could now properly purge those aristocratic families.

Thinking of this, Gongliang Juewen immediately said, “Someone come here.” A eunuch immediately entered from outside, bowing to Gongliang Juewen and saying, “Your Majesty.”

Gongliang Juewen said in a deep voice, “Send a letter to Qingxuan, have him come to see me.” The eunuch acknowledged and then left the room. A moment later, another eunuch led a tall, long-faced old eunuch into the study. Upon seeing Gongliang Juewen, the old eunuch immediately knelt down, bowing and saying, “Greetings, Your Majesty. This old servant has already led men to fully take over the Three Departments and Six Ministries. Now, the Three Departments and Six Ministries are beginning to operate normally.”

Gongliang Juewen nodded and said in a deep voice, “Rise.” The old eunuch acknowledged and stood up. Gongliang Juewen said, “Wei Daban, select some people from among the low-ranking officials we previously trained, and have them directly join the Three Departments and Six Ministries. We must ensure that the Three Departments and Six Ministries operate fully and normally.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Please rest assured, this old servant will ensure the smooth operation of the Three Departments and Six Ministries.”

Gongliang Juewen nodded, then said, “Send a letter to General Li and ask him to come see me.” Wei Daban responded, and then he followed the eunuch out of the room.

A moment later, Wu Daban followed a eunuch into the room. Upon entering, Wu immediately bowed to Gongliang Juewen and said, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

Gongliang Juewen nodded and then said, “Wu Daban, this time it’s your turn to take action. Our target this time is the powerful families; we will eliminate them one by one, starting with the Gongsun family. We will act tonight. I will have the Wanfa Divine Sect members accompany you. Is that alright?”

Wu Daban immediately bowed to Gongliang Juewen and said, “Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured, this old servant will handle the Gongsun family properly.”

Gongliang Juewen nodded. Just then, a eunuch entered and bowed to Gongliang Juewen, saying, “Your Majesty, Zhao Hai requests an audience.”

Gongliang Juewen said, “Let him in.” The eunuch responded, then bowed to Gongliang Juewen and left the room.

A moment later, Zhao Hai followed the eunuch into the study. Once inside, Zhao Hai bowed to Gongliang Juewen and said, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

Gongliang Juewen nodded and then said to Zhao Hai, “No need for formalities. I summoned you here today to discuss dealing with those powerful families. Tonight, I will have Wu Daban cooperate with you to deal with the Gongsun family. I want the Gongsun family to be wiped off the map of this Divine Kingdom. Are you willing?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai immediately replied, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Gongliang Juewen nodded, then turned to Wu Daban and said: “Wu Daban, this is Zhao Hai, the leader of the Myriad Laws Sect. Tonight, you two will work together to deal with the Gongsun family. I do not want any member of the Gongsun family to see the sun rise tomorrow.”

Wu Daban turned to look at Zhao Hai and bowed, saying, “This servant greets Sect Leader Zhao.”

Zhao Hai looked at Wu Daban, smiled slightly, and then said, “Greetings, Daban. I hope you will give me your guidance.” As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Wu Daban. Zhao Hai sensed the power of shadow emanating from Wu Daban, and he finally realized who had used the power of shadow to fight the enemy.

Wu Daban looked at Zhao Hai. Although Zhao Hai had a smile on his face, Wu Daban felt as if he were being stared at by a ferocious beast. However, that feeling disappeared in an instant. He felt nothing at all. Wu Daban even thought it was an illusion, but he soon realized that it was real. He believed in himself and was absolutely sure that he was right. Thinking of this, Wu Daban couldn’t help but give Zhao Hai a deep look. He felt that Zhao Hai was not so simple. He was definitely not just the leader of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. His strength was unfathomable. He had to be very careful with someone like Zhao Hai.
