Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16251

Chapter 16249. Reaction

Wan Hui also found a place to stand. He didn’t speak. After a while, more people entered the courtyard. This No. 36 courtyard was very large, enough to hold more than a hundred people. In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire courtyard was full.

After the courtyard was full, Wan Ying walked into the courtyard. As soon as he entered, he looked around and then said directly, “Follow me.” After saying that, he walked to the middle of the courtyard and cast a spell on the ground. An opening immediately appeared in the ground. Wan Hui jumped into the opening. He cast several more spells, making the opening extend about a hundred meters underground. Then he let Wan Hui and the others enter the opening as well. When Wan Hui and the others entered the opening, they discovered that there was an underground river below. Wan Hui and the others had entered the river channel of the underground river.

Wan Ying led Wan Hui and the others, flying downstream towards the underground river. They flew for about an hour before stopping. Then, he used magic to walk back to the surface. Soon, they emerged from underground and found themselves in a courtyard, which looked like an ordinary farmhouse.

After Wan Ying flew out, he glanced around, then waved his hand, summoning Wan Hui and the others to fly out as well. Once they were all out, Wan Ying said to them, “This is the most important base of our Wan family. Remember, from now on, you will no longer bear the surname Wan; you will bear the surname Fang. You will only revert to the surname Wan when the family sends us back. Do you understand?”

Wan Hui and the others all responded. Wan Ying nodded, then said, “Someone will come to take you to your respective homes in a little while. Remember, the people in the village are also family members. They are the ones guarding this base. You will be assigned to different families. From today onwards, you are children of those families.”

Wan Hui and the others responded again. Then, Wan Ying struck an iron bell in the courtyard, and the villagers all gathered around, their faces solemn.

Wan Ying glanced at the group of people, then nodded to them. The people didn’t say anything; they just looked at Wan Hui and his companion, then one by one stepped forward and led them out. Wan Hui followed a man who looked to be in his forties. The man appeared to be a farmer, with no distinguishing features.

Wan Hui followed the farmer back to his home. It was an ordinary farmhouse with only three mud-brick houses. The farmer had two children, a son and a daughter, and a wife. When the three women saw the farmer leading the group back, they didn’t say anything, but all nodded to Wan Hui.

The farmer asked Wan Hui, “What’s your name?”

Wan Hui replied, “Wan Hui.”

“Remember, from now on, your name is Fang Hui, my second son. This is your eldest brother, Fang Liang. This is your sister, Fang Yu. I am your father, Fang Qiang. This is your mother, Liu Fang,” the farmer introduced them to Wan Hui.

Wan Hui noted down their names one by one. Then the farmer led him into the room, where he changed his clothes and settled in.

Meanwhile, the Wan family members were also ready. They took a teleportation array and left the Wan family compound. The next moment, they appeared in another teleportation array, where someone was already waiting for them. As soon as the person saw the Wan family members, he immediately stepped forward and bowed to them, saying, “Greetings, everyone. Li Fu is very kind.”

The leader of the Wan family was named Wan Gun. He bowed to Li Fu and said, “Greetings, Fellow Daoist Li. I am Wan Gun.”

Upon hearing Wan Gun’s name, Li Fu’s eyes lit up. He immediately said, “So you are the Wan family lord. Please follow me. Resting places have been prepared for you.” Wan Gun repeatedly expressed his politeness and led the Wan family members to rest with Li Fu.

Soon after, people from other families appeared in the teleportation array. The Li family settled them in, and Wan Gun knew that the other families had arrived. It wasn’t until evening that no one else came to the Li family. Wan Gun then asked the Li family to find them a larger room and called everyone to that room.

Once everyone was in the room, Wan Gun looked at them and said, “Greetings, everyone. I am Wan Gun. It’s a bit inappropriate for me to speak at this time, as this is the Li family. I’m overstepping my bounds.”

He then clasped his hands in apology towards the Li family head, who quickly replied, “Lord Wan, you are too kind. It is our honor that the Li family can offer you such insignificant assistance. How can you say we are overstepping our bounds?”

Wan Gun smiled slightly and then said, “Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony.” He then turned to the group and said, “Today’s task…” “I think you all understand, so I won’t say anything more. We’re here to deal with the Gao family. Patriarch Li, you know the Gao family best. Now, tell us about the Gao family. Remember, all their businesses, all their people, their strength—tell us everything clearly.”

Patriarch Li responded, then waved his hand. Immediately, someone brought out some jade slips and placed them in front of Wan Gun and the others. Patriarch Li then said, “Gentlemen, this is the intelligence our Li family has collected about the Gao family. All the information about the Gao family is inside. Please take a look.”

Wan Gun was even more satisfied. He was truly pleased that Patriarch Li was well-prepared, as this would save them a lot of trouble. He then picked up the jade slip and carefully examined it.

After he had read the contents of the jade slip, he turned to Patriarch Li and asked, “Didn’t the Gao family say they had already taken over the city lordship of a city? Didn’t their people go to take over?”

Patriarch Li said in a deep voice, “They did. A portion of the Gao family did go to that city. The remaining members of the Gao family are all in the intelligence; there will be no mistakes. As for the people who went to that city, I didn’t include them in the list.”

Wan Gun nodded, then put down the jade slip, glanced at everyone, and said, “Everyone has seen it clearly, right? What are your thoughts?”

The members of those families all pondered for a moment, then a representative from one family spoke up: “Let’s allocate manpower. We must deal with all the Gao family members, leave no one alive. As for those Gao family members who went to take over the city, others will handle them; we don’t need to worry about it.”

Everyone nodded, and Wan Gun also nodded. He then said, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony. Let’s allocate manpower now.” After saying that, Wan Gun began to discuss the allocation of manpower with the members of each family. Soon, the allocation of manpower was completed, and by then it was getting dark.

Once Wan Gun and the others had finished speaking, Patriarch Li said directly, “Gentlemen, the meal has been prepared. Would you like to have a meal? We can proceed afterward.”

Wan Gun shook his head, saying, “Let’s eat after we start. Before we move out, it’s best not to eat to maintain our condition. Besides, everyone has taken the fasting pill; there’s no need for further food.” The others nodded in agreement, and Patriarch Li responded without saying anything.

The reason Wan Gun didn’t allow them to eat was because he was worried about unforeseen circumstances. Although Patriarch Li had been very cooperative, they still needed to be careful. If they ate, and Patriarch Li wanted to do something, perhaps adding something to their food, they would be in serious trouble. That’s why Wan Gun didn’t allow them to eat.

The others were all experienced and knew that they shouldn’t eat at this time, so none of them ate. Patriarch Li understood their meaning, so he didn’t try to persuade them further.

They waited until 9 PM (Hai Shi, the hour of Hai in the Chinese sexagenary cycle) before launching their attack. The Gao family resisted, showing they had made some preparations. However, they underestimated the determination of the allied aristocratic families to eliminate them. The Gao family was quickly overrun, leaving no survivors.

Unbeknownst to them, while they were attacking the Gao and two other families, the Xie family was also attacked by the Blood Slaughter Sect, and similarly, no one from the Xie family survived.

The next morning, the various families and Gongliang Juewen finally received the news. They were all extremely surprised, and Gongliang Juewen was so enraged that he slammed a table to pieces. He then exclaimed, “Fine, fine, this aristocratic alliance! It seems they’re truly determined to oppose me this time. Very well, excellent! I just appointed three of their families as city lords, and they’ve already been wiped out! Very well, excellent!”

Gongliang Juewen was so angry he could barely speak, his face ashen. He truly hadn’t expected the aristocratic alliance to be so audacious. He had just appointed three families as city lords, and in the blink of an eye, they were all wiped out—a slap in the face!

Gongliang Juewen said in a deep voice, “Someone, go and summon Wu Daban and Zhao Hai.” The eunuch immediately responded and went to fetch them.

A short while later, Wu Daban and Zhao Hai arrived. After exchanging greetings with Gongliang Juewen, Gongliang Juewen looked at them and said, “Have you heard about the matter concerning the Gao family and the other two families?”

Both nodded. Gongliang Juewen continued, “It seems that the aristocratic alliance will not bow to me this time. They dared to wipe out three families, which is a slap in my face. I will not let them off. I am preparing to take action against the aristocratic families. Which family do you think I should target?”

This was the first time Gongliang Juewen had discussed matters with Zhao Hai, which made Zhao Hai somewhat unaccustomed to it. He turned to look at Wu Daban, who remained silent, his eyes lowered as if deep in thought. Zhao Hai smiled slightly at his expression and then said, “Whoever Your Majesty wishes to deal with, we will deal with.”
