Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16250
Chapter 16248 Bloodline
Everyone nodded. They were well aware that what they had done this time had completely offended Gongliang Juewen. If they suddenly surrendered now, Gongliang Juewen would not let them off.
Wan Hai looked at everyone’s expressions, his face very serious. He said in a deep voice, “Everyone, we are now at a critical juncture of life and death. If we cannot hold on, we will truly be finished. Therefore, everyone must contribute this time. I hope you will do the same. We can only succeed if we keep putting pressure on His Majesty and make him give in as soon as possible. Do you all understand?”
Everyone nodded. Wan Hai continued, “Alright, we will act tonight. Go back and prepare immediately. By the way, are there any other families in the city where the Gao family, Yan family, and Mu family are located? If we send people there, can those families provide us with some assistance?
” One of the family heads spoke up, “Yes, those three families aren’t in the same city. There are other families in several of their cities. We just need to contact those family heads, and they should be willing to help us.”
Wan Hai’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said, “Great! Excellent! Let’s find a way to contact those families now and tell them we’re going to attack those three families tonight. We need their help. Will they trust us? We don’t want them to betray us as soon as we tell them.”
The family head replied, “It shouldn’t be a problem. Although those families are in the same city, their relationship isn’t very good, and they’re even somewhat at odds. If we can…” “We promise that once we wipe out those three families, their businesses will be handed over to them. They should agree.”
Wan Hai nodded and said, “Okay, send them a letter. Tell them we can promise that as long as we eliminate the three families, all their businesses will be handed over to them.”
The family head responded, then took out a jade slip, entered some information into it, then took out a communication array and sent the jade slip out. The family head then said, “Let’s wait for news here. I believe we’ll hear back soon.”
Hearing this, Wan Hai frowned and said, “Didn’t you say several families? Are we only contacting that one?” “Families?”
The family head smiled slightly and said, “Those families are just small families. I don’t need to contact them personally. My subordinates can handle it.”
Hearing this, Wan Hai didn’t say anything, just nodded. Wan Hai was very clear that although they all belonged to aristocratic families, the gap between them was still huge. The gap between these top-tier aristocratic families and those small aristocratic families was not exactly worlds apart. Because of this, these aristocratic families treated those small aristocratic families almost like servants. After all, those small aristocratic families depended on them for their livelihood, so there was no need for them to be so polite.
The group discussed how to deploy troops today, how many men each family would contribute, and how much supplies some families would contribute if they didn’t want to contribute men. This was a rule among the aristocratic families. They usually acted together. If some families couldn’t contribute men because they were too far away or for other reasons, they had to contribute supplies. All of these things had to be discussed beforehand.
After discussing for about an hour, the patriarch suddenly produced a jade slip. He glanced at its contents and then turned to Wan Hai, saying, “Patriarch Wan, it’s done. Those families have agreed to help us and have sent us the coordinates of their teleportation arrays. We can use their arrays directly to get to the city. Once we’re there, we can attack those three families.”
Upon hearing this, Wan Hai immediately slammed his hand on the table and said, “Good! Everyone, go back and prepare immediately. Deploy troops according to our previous plan. Each family must send their elite troops to attack. You will send the teleportation array coordinates to everyone shortly. Send the troops there during the day, and we will move out tonight.”
Everyone responded and stood up. Wan Hai didn’t detain them any longer and saw them out of the room. After they left, Wan Hai returned to his room and immediately called out, “Someone come here.” A servant immediately pushed open the door and entered.
Wan Hai said to the servant, “Go and summon Wan Ying to my study.” The servant acknowledged and then turned and left. After the servant left, Wan Hai went directly to his study.
A short while later, the servant brought a man to Wan Hai’s study. The man looked to be in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance and nothing particularly special about him. As soon as he saw Wan Hai, he bowed and said, “Greetings, Master of the House.”
Wan Hai nodded, then said, “Wan Ying, the situation is a bit strange right now. The Gongsun family was wiped out by His Majesty without a second thought, and apart from the Gongsun family, only our Wan family is the strongest. His Majesty might target our Wan family next. You must immediately lead the elite disciples of the family out of the family through the secret passage and go directly to Fangjia Village. Do not return until you receive my orders. If something really happens to our Wan family, you will all change your surname to Fang and carry on our Wan family line.”
Wan Ying responded. He was originally trained by the Wan family specifically for this purpose; he was, in a sense, the last means for the Wan family to preserve its bloodline, so he was not surprised.
The Wan family is a large clan, and naturally, they have an opportunity to preserve their family bloodline. Over the years, they’ve established a village outside the city. Everyone in this village is a member of the Wan family. On the surface, the village appears no different from any other, but its inhabitants are the last remaining members of the Wan family’s bloodline. However, after entering the village, they no longer bear the surname Wan, but instead change it to Fang, precisely to prevent people from associating the village with the Wan
family. Every year, the Wan family selects a few of their most talented disciples. These are carefully chosen individuals; they may not be the strongest, but they possess the greatest potential. They also bear a crucial mission: to conceal their identities and ensure the continuation of their family bloodline when necessary.
The Gongsun family also has a similar organization, but they hadn’t anticipated Gongliang Juewen’s actions against them, so they didn’t activate their forces. The Wan family, however, is different. Learning from the Gongsun family’s experience, they must be prepared.
The Wan family had initially believed that their strength had reached a level where they no longer needed such methods, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case. They had to ensure the continuation of their family bloodline.
Fangjia Village not only housed members of the Wan family, but also their cultivation techniques and abundant resources. It was the Wan family’s most important and most hidden base, a base unknown to anyone.
After instructing Wan Ying, Wan Hai sent her away, trusting that she would be well-prepared; the Wan family had already practiced for this many times.
Wan Hui was a genius disciple of the Wan family. He wasn’t a direct descendant, but rather a disciple of a collateral branch. However, Wan Hui possessed exceptional talent, cultivating the Wan family’s techniques at an incredibly fast pace. At only eighteen years old, he had already reached the level of a Royal Chariot Driver, a level of strength that could certainly be considered genius.
Wan Hui had also been instructed that if someone informed him of a place to go, he couldn’t ask any questions and must immediately follow. Although Wan Hui didn’t fully understand the reasoning, he remembered this instruction.
He was also aware of his family’s current situation. His family was currently vying with the royal family. If they succeeded, the family would grow even stronger; if they failed, the family would be in danger. After all, even the Gongsun family, which was stronger than theirs, had been wiped out, let alone theirs.
Wan Hui and the others were also extremely nervous. They knew very well that at any moment, their family might have to confront the royal family, and at any time, someone might attack their family. Therefore, they had been very tense these past few days, and everyone had long been prepared for battle.
Wan Hui was cultivating in his room, constantly striving to maintain peak condition. Suddenly, a jade sword flew before him. Upon seeing it, his expression changed drastically. This jade sword was completely different from others; it was red. Wan Hui knew perfectly well what this sword represented, as his family had instructed him to immediately assemble at the family’s Thirty-Sixth Courtyard upon seeing it. No one knew what the Thirty-Sixth Courtyard was, as it was a forbidden area, normally off-limits to all. Wan Hui caught the sword
and scanned it with his spiritual energy. The sword shattered instantly. This was a characteristic of red jade swords: they contained nothing; simply scanning them with spiritual energy would cause them to shatter. If they didn’t shatter, they were fake; if they shattered, they were real.
Upon seeing that the jade sword was genuine, Wan Hui’s expression changed drastically. He immediately left his room, not even having time to say a word to his family, and rushed towards courtyard number thirty-six. He arrived there shortly, where a man stood before the gate. It was none other than Wan Ying. He glanced at Wan Hui, said nothing, simply nodded, and let Wan Hui in.
Wan Hui was taken aback as soon as he entered the courtyard, for he found it already occupied, and quite a few people at that—the other talented disciples of the family. None of them spoke, each standing there with a serious expression.
