Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16258

Chapter 16256: The Difficult Problem

“It seems that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect still has methods that I do not know. This Zhao Hai is very cunning. Is he guarding against me?” Gongliang Juewen said calmly to a eunuch standing in front of him.

The eunuch kept his head down and remained silent. Gongliang Juewen continued, “Can you confirm what methods they used?”

The eunuch replied, “According to the investigation by the people I sent, the most likely method they used was a magic array. And this magic array wasn’t just any ordinary one; it was a hybrid array. At the very least, this array had three functions: first, an illusion array to prevent outsiders from seeing the situation of that family; second, a barrier array to seal the family away, preventing them from escaping; and third, a maze array. A maze array is a special kind of magic array, somewhat similar to an illusion array, but different. An illusion array creates hallucinations, while a maze array creates hallucinations along with a sense of disorientation, making people feel as if they are dreaming, in a state between dreaming and waking. Under normal circumstances, such arrays are very difficult to set up, and a hybrid array composed of three types of arrays is even more difficult to set up.”

“If someone could set up these three types of magic arrays, could they truly kill an entire family silently?”

“Your Majesty, it is possible. Illusion arrays, maze arrays, and barrier arrays, when combined, are extremely powerful. The strongest point of this array is that it’s a hybrid array. Although it will produce energy fluctuations, due to the illusion and maze arrays, people generally cannot sense these fluctuations. Precisely because they cannot sense these fluctuations, they are easily caught in the trap. If the family’s kingdom-level experts are not very strong, they might not even be able to detect this array. Once they are caught, even if the Wanfa Divine Sect members enter their home and kill them, they won’t know. It’s even possible that the Wanfa Divine Sect members could make the family members come out of their rooms and then kill them one by one.”

“Has anyone used this kind of array before?”

“Your Majesty, yes, the most famous mixed array is actually in our Wukong City. We have many arrays here: barrier arrays, defensive arrays, illusion arrays—all kinds. Mixed arrays don’t have a fixed form. That is to say, as long as your array technique is strong enough, you can combine any number of arrays together. This is the most terrifying aspect of mixed arrays. If you don’t know what arrays are inside, you can’t even break them. Besides Wukong City, another famous mixed array is in Poison Dragon Valley.” “

Poison Dragon Valley? That forbidden area? Is that where the mixed array is?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Poison Dragon Valley is a complex magic array. Legend has it that a sect skilled in using poison once established its headquarters there. However, the sect was wiped out due to internal strife, but its headquarters remained. It was a famous complex magic array. Because everyone in that sect died, no one knows what kind of magic array was used. Since no one knows what kind of magic array was used, there is naturally no way to break it. In addition, because of the sect’s internal strife, the area is filled with various poisons, so no one dares to enter it easily. Gradually, it became a forbidden area.” “I

see. So it seems that within the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, there is someone who knows how to use magic arrays, or rather, someone who knows how to set up magic arrays?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, setting up this hybrid array is extremely troublesome. It requires calculating the orientation, and each time it’s set up, the orientation needs to be recalculated, which is very troublesome. Without someone proficient in arrays to set it up, it cannot be done. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect must have a master who is very skilled in arrays, otherwise it would be impossible to set up the array in such a short time.” “

Don’t large-scale arrays usually take a long time to set up? Could it be that the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect can really set up such a large array in a short time?”

“Your Majesty, that is possible, but several conditions need to be met. First, the person setting up the array must be very proficient in arrays. Second, they need to have a long time to understand the environment. Third, they need to make calculations in advance. Fourth, they need to do all the preparatory work in advance. Once these four points are met, the person setting up the array will have the array set up in their mind. As long as the time comes, they can directly have the array symbols placed in the positions they have designated, and then make simple adjustments to activate the array. This kind of array setup requires a long time of preparation in advance.”

“It seems I underestimated the Myriad Laws Cult. Very well, continue to send men to keep an eye on them and see what they do next.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. But Your Majesty, the men I sent out still don’t know where the Myriad Laws Cult members are hiding. Since all the Myriad Laws Cult’s temples were destroyed, the remaining members have gone into hiding, and no one knows where they are. When they attacked the various aristocratic families, they appeared suddenly. I suspect someone in each city is helping them.”

“Can you find out who is helping them?”

“Your Majesty, the men I sent out are investigating. Currently, there’s only one suspect: those who joined the Myriad Laws Cult for the sake of magic. Although they joined only to obtain three free magic techniques, and the Cult doesn’t seem to impose any restrictions on them, it’s hard to guarantee that some might genuinely want to join. If they truly want to join, they could become members, and their assistance to the Cult wouldn’t be surprising. But the real headache is that there are simply too many such people. No one knows who joined, and even less does anyone know who genuinely joined and who didn’t.”

“In other words, we can’t find out who exactly contacted the Myriad Laws Cult?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, there were far too many rogue cultivators who went to the Myriad Laws Sect to receive free spells. Moreover, after receiving the spells, they left immediately, some even going directly to other cities. Therefore, it’s impossible to keep track of them or track them down. Under these circumstances, finding out who among them supported the Myriad Laws Sect is virtually impossible.”

“Alright, have your men continue the investigation, and also have them keep a close eye on the Myriad Laws Sect. You may leave.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The eunuch finished speaking, bowed to Gongliang Juewen, and then left Gongliang Juewen’s study.

Gongliang Juewen sat in his chair, pondering for a long while, then sighed softly and murmured, “What a pity.” The reason he said it was a pity was because Zhao Hai and the others couldn’t be used by him. If only Zhao Hai and the others could be used by him.

Meanwhile, Wan Hai was meeting with the heads of various powerful families. Their matter with Gongliang Juewen was over, but their conflict with the Wanfa Divine Sect was far from resolved. Moreover, they still hadn’t figured out the methods the Wanfa Divine Sect had used, so Wan Hai and the others looked rather grim.

Wan Hai glanced at everyone and then asked, “Can everyone confirm whether those people from the Wanfa Divine Sect used a magic array?” This was Wan Hai’s most frustrating point: a powerful family had been wiped out, and they still couldn’t determine what method they had used. While it was currently the most likely explanation that they had used a magic array, it was only the most likely explanation; they couldn’t be completely certain.

At this moment, a family head said in a deep voice, “I have already sent the family’s Supreme Elder to investigate. I believe we will have news soon.” The speaker was from the Lu family, whose family was renowned for its magic arrays. Upon hearing that the powerful family might have been killed by the Wanfa Divine Sect using a magic array, he had sent the family’s Supreme Elder to investigate, but there was still no news.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately took out a jade slip. After glancing at its contents, he turned to Wan Hai and said, “It’s confirmed. They used a magic array, a hybrid one. This kind of array is very powerful and extremely difficult to deal with.”

Upon hearing this, Wan Hai frowned and said, “They really used a magic array? So the Myriad Laws Sect does indeed have people capable of setting up magic arrays? If we can’t find all the members of the Myriad Laws Sect, it will be very difficult to deal with them.”

Everyone nodded. At this moment, a family head spoke up, “Let alone dealing with them, finding them won’t be easy. Since all their temples were destroyed, the members of the Myriad Laws Sect have disappeared. Nobody knows where they went.”

Everyone frowned. Indeed, since all the temples of the Myriad Laws Sect were destroyed, they had vanished. They couldn’t be found at all, so how could they be dealt with?

Thinking of this, the heads of each family frowned. This was the kind of opponent they feared most—one they simply couldn’t find, and even if they wanted to deal with them, they were powerless.

Wan Hai continued, “Tell all the families to be on high alert. I really don’t believe they’ll stop building temples from now on. As long as they continue building temples, they’ll eventually slip up, and then we’ll deal with them. Until then, all we can do is prepare for defense.”

Everyone nodded. Indeed, they couldn’t even find the Wanfa Divine Sect’s location, so how could they fight them? They were completely helpless, and could only passively defend themselves—this was their biggest headache.

At this moment, one family head spoke up, “Family Head Wan, could we ask the sect for help? They were involved in dealing with the Wanfa Divine Sect back then; it’s hard to guarantee they won’t turn against them again. If we ask the sect for help, they should be willing to help us.”
