Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16245

Chapter 16243 The Red Thread

“This Wu Daban is the one who uses the power of shadow, so we must be careful when cooperating with him this time. We can’t kill him before we understand his situation, otherwise, we really don’t know what will happen. If he can’t become a member of the undead, Gongliang Juewen will immediately turn against us if he dies. So this time, we can’t use anything too conspicuous, at least not enough to arouse Wu Daban’s suspicion.” Zhao Hai

said to Xu Ying and the others, who quickly responded. Zhao Hai continued, “However, all the people we’ve dispatched this time are experts, and all of them…” “They’re skilled in magic, so there’s not much to worry about. The point of this operation is to go all out and wipe out the Gongsun family. As for whether we should turn the Gongsun family’s corpses into undead, that’s not urgent. First, we’ll destroy the Gongsun family, and within seven days, we’ll turn them into undead.”

Xu Ying and the others responded again. Zhao Hai glanced at them, then smiled slightly and said, “Alright, don’t worry too much. Just focus on your own tasks.”

Everyone responded, and then Xu Ying and the others went to prepare. Tonight they would attack the Gongsun family together, and they needed to be well-prepared.

Night fell quickly, and Zhao Hai received a letter from Wu Daban. Yesterday, when Zhao Hai left Wukong City, Gongliang Juewen had someone send him a letter containing intelligence about the Gongsun family. The letter detailed how many people and businesses the Gongsun family owned, where they lived and where they were currently, and how many secret strongholds they had. All of this was in the letter. When Zhao Hai saw the letter, he knew that the Gongsun family was finished and had no chance of recovery. Clearly, the Gongliang family had wanted to deal with the Gongsun family for a long time, which was why they knew so much about them. There might even be a traitor within the Gongsun family; otherwise, the intelligence wouldn’t be so accurate.

This time, Zhao Hai received a letter from Wu Daban. The letter was very simple. Wu Daban was asking Zhao Hai how their preparations were going. Zhao Hai replied to Wu Daban directly, inviting him to meet at an inn outside the Gongsun family’s main residence. He had a courtyard in that inn, which he had booked long ago. No matter how much the Gongsun family investigated, they would not be able to find out that the courtyard was related to the Wanfa Divine Sect.

Many people have a misconception that ancient inns were similar to modern hotels—a large building divided into rooms of different classes. This is incorrect. Ancient inns actually came in two types: ordinary inns, which catered to the poor and were often called “cart inns” because they were frequented by travelers and wanderers. These inns were a melting pot of all sorts of people and didn’t offer decent rooms. A single room was considered good, and many cart inns even had only one large communal sleeping area, where everyone shared a single bedding space. Therefore, most of the guests staying there were poor people.

Another type of inn is the high-class restaurant, which combines dining and lodging. These restaurants are mostly frequented by wealthy people, and generally offer single rooms rather than shared dormitories. Some large restaurants even have separate courtyards, which are reserved for extremely wealthy individuals or large groups. For example, a wealthy merchant traveling to another city with a large amount of goods and a large entourage would rent a separate courtyard, where everyone would stay together for added security.

Not far from the main residence of the Gongsun family was a high-class restaurant called Qingfeng Tower, a name that sounded very elegant. Qingfeng Tower had over a dozen separate courtyards, each capable of accommodating a dozen or so people. These courtyards were all occupied. Zhao Hai had previously had one of these courtyards reserved for a considerable period. He also had a fake outpost set up there. This outpost wasn’t the kind used by sects, but rather a fake outpost set up by a large merchant guild in another city. This outpost was there to handle business for the merchant guild in this city, so it was always well-staffed. Since Zhao Hai and his group had reserved this courtyard for a long time, even if the Gongsun family investigated, they wouldn’t suspect anything amiss. Zhao Hai then directly sent Wu Daban to that courtyard.

Zhao Hai was already waiting for Wu Daban in the courtyard. Shortly after he sent Wu Daban a message, a shadow in the courtyard distorted, and then Wu Daban emerged from the shadows.

Zhao Hai was already waiting for Wu Daban in the courtyard. Upon seeing Wu Daban, he immediately went to greet him, bowing and saying, “Greetings, Wu Daban, Zhao Hai is very kind.”

Wu Daban sized up Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai looked quite ordinary, without any distinguishing features, but Wu Daban dared not underestimate him. He still hadn’t forgotten the feeling of being stared at by a ferocious beast when he saw Zhao Hai at Gongliang Juewen’s place. He trusted his intuition; Zhao Hai wanted to kill him, and might actually succeed. So Wu Daban immediately returned the bow and said, “Master Zhao, you’re too kind.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Please come in, Daban, let’s talk inside.” Wu Daban nodded and followed Zhao Hai into the room. As they walked, he kept an eye on the courtyard. He noticed there were still some other people inside, all staying in their rooms.

The two entered the room, which was very simple, with a desk and a few chairs. Zhao Hai invited Wu Daban to sit down, and he also sat down behind the desk. He then smiled and said, “This is a base we arranged a long time ago. In order not to arouse suspicion from the Gongsun family, we usually handle some things here, so it looks a bit messy. Please forgive us, Daban.”

Wu Daban shook his head, then said, “Master Zhao, you’re too kind. I’m already quite surprised by your arrangements. I wonder how things are going, Master Zhao?”

Zhao Hai immediately replied, “Everything is arranged, exactly as His Majesty instructed me. All of the Gongsun family’s properties and strongholds have been manned. If the intelligence is correct, I guarantee the Gongsun family will be wiped out of the Divine Kingdom tomorrow.”

Wu Daban nodded, glancing at Zhao Hai, and said, “Although the Gongsun family has many strongholds, even some secret bases, their strongest fighting force is still their main residence. That’s why I’m here. I believe you understand this, which is why you’ve come personally. As long as we take care of everyone at their main residence…” Even if a few members of the Gongsun family survive, they won’t be able to cause any trouble. Since the family’s elite have been wiped out, they have no chance of recovery.

Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, “Yes, I’ve arranged the strongest men here at their main residence. There won’t be any problems, so Wu Daban can rest assured.”

Wu Daban looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Master Zhao, you don’t need to hide anything. His Majesty isn’t intolerant. Even if you’re very strong, as long as you’re truly serving His Majesty, he can tolerate you. But there’s one condition: you cannot betray His Majesty. So as long as you’re loyal to His Majesty, you can use whatever abilities you have. Do you understand what I mean?”

Upon hearing Wu Daban’s words, Zhao Hai was taken aback, and then he immediately said to Wu… Wu Daban said, “I understand what you mean, Wu Daban. Please rest assured, I know what to do. I am not an ambitious person, and I never thought I would one day stand at the same level as the Creation God Sect. I only hope that the inheritance of my Myriad Laws God Sect can be passed down. So please rest assured, Wu Daban.”

Wu Daban nodded and said in a deep voice, “The Gongsun family must have been prepared long ago. They also have defensive formations. Leave their defensive formations to me; I can break them. Wait for my signal. After I break their defensive formations, you can attack. Remember, don’t let any member of the Gongsun family escape.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll listen to you, Daban.”

Wu Daban nodded, and then he said, “I’m a little curious, like you…” “Why have I never heard of someone like you before? Although I live in the palace, I still know a thing or two about what happens outside, but I’ve never heard of you before. I’m very curious, where did you come from?”

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “The Divine Kingdom is so vast, how can you be sure that you know everything? I used to be just an ordinary rogue cultivator. I had some fortuitous encounters, which led me to my current position, so it’s normal that you don’t know me.”

Upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, and remembering that Zhao Hai was from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, which was a religious sect, Wu Daban understood Zhao Hai’s meaning. Zhao Hai’s meaning was very simple: he was a member of a religious sect, so behind him might stand a god, and it was actually quite easy for a god to make someone stronger.

Thinking of this, Wu Daban didn’t ask any more questions. He still had many concerns about the gods, after all, they were too mysterious. However, Wu Daban wasn’t too afraid of the gods, because he knew that no matter how strong the gods were, they couldn’t truly descend to their realm. At most, they could only send an avatar to this realm, and even that avatar wasn’t very strong. What truly worried him were the sects, their ability to mass-produce experts. The Creation God Sect had previously produced a large number of experts, which was why Gongliang Juewen wanted to eliminate them, because the Creation God Sect had crossed the red line.
