Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16263
Chapter 16261. The Nine Netherworld Rock Formation
Upon returning, Xu Ying immediately ordered the setting up of a magic array at the former headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. This time, the array they were setting up was primarily an Illusion Killing Array, and not just any ordinary one. It was called the Thousand Illusion Maze, a combination of spatial, illusion, killing, and maze arrays. Its greatest strength was that the array itself could deal with enemies without requiring manual intervention. Furthermore, it was difficult to break, and escaping was even more challenging. Xu Ying had consulted with the disciples of the Divine Mechanism Hall who accompanied him before deciding to use this array.
Of course, because of its considerable power, setting up this array was also quite complicated. Even with the Blood Slaughter Sect’s speed, it would take several days to complete.
However, they weren’t worried about anyone discovering their actions, because before the main array was even set up, they had already established an illusion array, making it impossible for outsiders to detect them.
Their attacks on the aristocratic families hadn’t stopped in recent days; they had wiped out two more families to avoid suspicion. These families had been searching for the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, but unfortunately, they hadn’t found it.
Five days later, they finally completed the magic array. Xu Ying personally inspected it, and after confirming there were no problems, he immediately reported the matter to Zhao Hai. He told him everything was ready and they were about to begin their operation. Zhao Hai, of course, didn’t object and immediately agreed, without even showing his face.
Although Xu Ying was somewhat nervous, he knew this was something he had to do, so he immediately gave the order to begin. Following his command, some of the independent cultivators they had placed among the scattered cultivators directly relayed the message to certain sects. These sects that received the message were not those that had already joined the Blood Slaughter Sect.
The reason this news wasn’t shared with sects that had joined the Blood Slaughter Sect was to minimize the risk of exposure. If the sect alliance discovered it was a trap, they would definitely investigate the source of the information. The rogue cultivators could simply hide or fake their deaths to avoid detection, but the sects that initially received the news would certainly be investigated. If a sect that had joined the Blood Slaughter Sect was investigated, there was indeed a risk of exposure, although the possibility was small. They didn’t want to take that risk, so they simply informed the sects that hadn’t yet joined.
This news reached Qingxuan’s ears in the shortest possible time. Upon receiving it, Qingxuan immediately wrote to the sect leaders of all the sects, inviting them to the Heavenly Profound Sect.
Once all the sect leaders had arrived at Tianxuan Sect, Qingxuan invited them to the conference room. After everyone was seated, Qingxuan had his disciples serve tea and then dismiss them. After the disciples left, Qingxuan looked at everyone and said, “Everyone, I think you’ve all heard about the news regarding the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. We’ve found their location. They were originally at their headquarters. Although their headquarters was destroyed long ago and has never been repaired, their people are still there. It’s like they were blind to their own presence. No one expected them to return to their headquarters. No wonder we couldn’t find them before.”
Everyone nodded. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect’s headquarters had long been destroyed, and no one expected that the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect would be hiding in their destroyed headquarters. Moreover, they shouldn’t be on the surface, because the above-ground buildings are still damaged and haven’t been repaired. That means they’re underground.
One of the sect leaders spoke up, “No one expected them to be hiding there. But that’s fine too. Once we find them, we can attack them directly. Shouldn’t we discuss how many troops each sect should contribute?”
Everyone nodded. Qingxuan said, “If we can destroy the Myriad Laws Divine Sect this time, that would be ideal. It would also show those aristocratic families our strength. Actually, it’s a good thing that the aristocratic families aren’t cooperating with us. This way, the royal family won’t target us anymore. If the royal family really starts targeting us, it will give us a lot of headaches.”
Everyone nodded. Qingxuan said, “Alright, let’s talk about the troops each sect contributes. How many troops do you all think each sect should contribute?”
“Let’s put aside the number of troops for now and talk about the strength of those we send out. All the ordinary members of the Myriad Laws Sect are dead. Those remaining are all experts. They already demonstrated their strength when they helped the royal family attack the aristocratic families. The remaining members are all kingdom-level experts, and there are quite a few of them. With so many experts on the other side, we need to send more men, otherwise our losses will be significant. Also, don’t send those who are weak; sending them will only lead to their deaths. There’s no need to send them.”
“That’s right, those who aren’t strong enough shouldn’t go; they’ll die anyway. The biggest problem now is that we don’t know how many experts the Myriad Laws Sect has. Sending too few might not be enough to deal with them, while sending too many might be overkill and could easily arouse the suspicion of the aristocratic families and the royal family.”
“We can’t worry about that now. Whether it’s powerful families or royalty, they should all have an estimate of the strength of our sects. Even if we send out more people, they won’t think much of it. Besides, if we can wipe out the Myriad Laws Divine Sect this time, no one will know how many people we sent. What do you all think?”
“That makes sense. Let’s send out more people. Some will deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, and others will guard the perimeter, preventing others from getting close. That way, they won’t know how many experts we’ve sent.”
“If that’s the case, then we need to send at least 1,200 people. 1,000 to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, and 200 to guard the perimeter. The 1,200 people I’m referring to must all be Kingdom-level experts.”
“Sending out over a thousand Kingdom-level experts at once? Isn’t that a bit too many?”
“I don’t think that’s enough. Each sect should send some people. Sects with only one Kingdom-level expert shouldn’t send anyone. Sects with three to six Kingdom-level experts should send one person. If a sect has more than six Kingdom-level experts, send two. If a sect has more than twenty Kingdom-level experts, send four. If a sect has more than fifty Kingdom-level experts, send ten. What do you all think?”
“If that’s the case, isn’t that too many people? There are quite a few sects with more than fifty Kingdom-level experts. If we really divide it like that, we could probably send at least three thousand Kingdom-level experts. If people find out, wouldn’t that be a bit too scary?”
“It’s not impossible. Not only us, but even those powerful families could easily mobilize these kingdom-level experts. However, it’s best not to let them know. There’s another thing we must be careful about: the Wanfa Divine Sect seems to be very skilled at using magic arrays. We must bring some array-breaking experts and plenty of magic artifacts for doing so. Most importantly, the Wanfa Divine Sect might try to escape. We must find a way to prevent their escape. What are your thoughts?”
“There really isn’t a good solution. We can only use magic arrays to break magic arrays, and not just above ground, but also underground. We must ensure that the Wanfa Divine Sect doesn’t escape.”
“That’s true. The Wanfa Divine Sect probably lives underground in their headquarters, and has been doing so for some time. They must have created many underground passages. We must ensure they can’t escape through those passages, and also prevent them from escaping through the surface. There are also teleportation arrays, and most importantly, we must break their magic arrays. We must consider all these things carefully.”
“That’s the problem. Last time, the Wanfa Divine Sect’s headquarters was breached because they were sealed by a protective array, preventing them from escaping. It was only the sect leader who broke the array from the outside, allowing them to escape. They must have learned from that experience, and this time they’ll be fully prepared. Trapping them with a protective array again won’t be easy. Most importantly, even if we wanted to create one, how long would it take to set it up? Won’t the Wanfa Divine Sect discover it?”
At this point, everyone suddenly realized that attacking the Wanfa Divine Sect wasn’t going to be easy. Qingxuan Daoist, who had remained silent until now,… Shi then spoke up, saying, “Last time, the people from the five great families used the Golden Wheel of Creation to temporarily form a barrier array, trapping the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect there. Although we also have many large magical artifacts, if we use this move, the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect will definitely be on guard, so this move is definitely not usable. We must think of another way. Sect Master Wen, your Zhenyu Sect is the most proficient in the art of arrays among all our sects. Tell me, what kind of array should we use to deal with the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect?”
As Qingxuan spoke, his eyes turned to a cultivator who looked to be over fifty years old and had a refined appearance. This cultivator was the sect master of the Zhenyu Sect, named Wen Jing, and the Zhenyu Sect was the sect that used arrays best among the major sects of the Divine Kingdom.
After listening to Qingxuan’s words, Wenjing pondered for a moment before speaking, “Actually, from the very beginning, I’ve been thinking about what kind of formation to use to deal with the Wanfa Divine Sect. However, none of the formations I initially thought of were quite suitable. Especially after listening to everyone’s opinions, I finally came up with a formation called the Nine Nether Rock Formation. This formation is an earth-type formation. It is a barrier formation, but it also has defensive effects. This formation should be the most suitable.”
