Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16269

Chapter 16267 Reconciliation

“What? Missing? Everyone’s disappeared? How is that possible? Their soul tablets weren’t broken, so why are they missing?” Qingxuan looked at the person standing in front of him with an extremely grim expression. This person was also an elder of the Tianxuan Sect. He had been in contact with Qingming, but later Qingming became unreachable. He immediately sent people to check the situation, only to find that Qingming and everyone else had disappeared.

The elder shook his head and said, “The situation is still unclear, but it’s certain that everyone has indeed disappeared. People from other sects are also searching for them.”

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came, followed immediately by a knock on the door. The knocking was urgent, clearly indicating that the person who came was in a hurry. Qingxuan frowned and said, “Come in.”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone pushed open the door and walked in. This person was also an elder of the Tianxuan Sect, but as soon as Qingxuan saw this elder, his expression changed, because this elder was in charge of the Tianxuan Sect’s Life Tablet Cave.

All the life tablets of the Tianxuan Sect were kept in the Life Tablet Cave. If anyone died, the life tablet would shatter. Normally, if an ordinary disciple died, this elder wouldn’t report it to Qingxuan. His presence here meant that the life tablet of an important figure must have shattered. Thinking of the missing Qingming, Qingxuan’s heart sank.

The elder looked at Qingxuan and said, “Sect Master, Elder Qingming and those who went to attack the Myriad Laws Divine Sect all have shattered life tablets.”

Although he had already suspected this, Qingxuan’s expression still turned grim upon hearing this. He immediately asked, “Are you sure?”

The man nodded and said, “I checked personally; they are indeed all shattered.”

Qingxuan took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions, and then said in a low voice, “Send letters to the other sects, asking about their situation. Did the life tablets of their people also shatter?”

The elder who came to inform Qingxuan… The missing elder responded and left immediately, as did the elder in charge of the Life Tablet Cave. After they all left, Qingxuan finally let out a long breath. He then stood up and walked towards the door. Once outside, he looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with sorrow. He and Qingming had a very good relationship. He had previously thought that if something really happened to him one day, he would pass the position of sect leader to Qingming. Qingming was the youngest and most talented among their generation. But he never expected that Qingming would die like this. This was something he had never imagined.

A short while later, the elder who had been in contact with the other sects returned to Qingxuan. He bowed and said, “Sect Master, I’ve contacted the other sects. The life tablets of the people they sent out have all shattered. I checked the time; they shattered almost simultaneously.”

Qingxuan took a deep breath and continued, “There’s something strange about this. Over three thousand experts couldn’t all be killed at once, especially not almost simultaneously. This is highly unusual. Immediately contact the other sects and have each sect send some experts to form an investigation team.” “Go there and check the situation. Remember, tell them to be very careful. If they find anything amiss, they must retreat immediately.”

The elder acknowledged and then turned to leave. Qingxuan took a deep breath, suppressing his grief. He returned to his room and continued dealing with the matters at hand. He knew very well that the people were already dead, and there was no point in thinking about anything else. What they needed to do now was to find out exactly how Qingming and the others died, and at the same time, find the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, kill them, and avenge Qingming and the others.

Meanwhile, Wan Hai and his family alliance also received news that the sect alliance had attacked the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. However, all the people sent by the sect alliance had disappeared, which was something Wan Hai and his family had not expected.

Wan Hai took this matter quite seriously. The sect had previously approached them, wanting to join forces against the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, but he had not agreed at the time. He had not expected that the sect members would take action on their own, which was something they had not anticipated. Moreover, it seemed that the sect alliance had suffered a loss this time, which was something Wan Hai had not expected at all.

Wan Hai immediately instructed his family to send people to keep an eye on the matter. Although they couldn’t openly cooperate with the sect, they could still use this opportunity to attack the Wanfa Divine Sect.

Just after he gave these instructions, an elder from a family came to see Wan Hai. This elder managed some of their family’s businesses, and Wan Hai, thinking something was wrong with them, immediately invited the elder into his room. Once inside, Wan Hai looked at the elder and said, “Twenty-third brother, what is it?” This man was of the same generation, the twenty-third in his family, so he directly addressed him as “Twenty-third brother.”

The twenty-third brother said, “Elder brother, look at this. It was brought up today by a disciple from one of the shops.”

When Wan Hai saw what was handed to him—a jade slip—he was somewhat puzzled, but he still took it. He probed the jade slip with his spiritual power and was immediately taken aback. He discovered that the jade slip had been given to him by the God of Ten Thousand Laws, which greatly surprised him. He carefully examined the contents of the jade slip, then put it down, a thoughtful expression on his face. He then said, “Notify the heads of the other families and ask them to come over. This matter needs to be discussed properly.” The twenty-third brother responded and then turned to leave.

That evening, the heads of other prominent families arrived at the Wan family. Wan Hai invited them to the council hall. After they were seated, Wan Hai took out the jade slip and addressed them, “Today, our family received a jade slip. It was sent by the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. I have read its contents. The contents are quite simple: the Myriad Laws Divine Sect wants to talk to us. They no longer want to fight us because they want to focus all their energy on dealing with the sect members. If we agree, we will send someone to Qingfeng Mountain to meet them the day after tomorrow. If they disagree, then we will continue fighting. What are your thoughts on this matter?”

Upon hearing this, the family heads were all taken aback. Then one family head spoke up, “Those guys from the sect tried to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, but it seems they suffered a loss. I heard they mobilized several thousand people this time, and all of them have disappeared. It seems that those several thousand people are in grave danger.”

“It’s not just badly for them, they’re already dead. I just received news that those people are dead—over three thousand in total. Over three thousand kingdom-level experts from various sects went to attack the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, and they all died. Their life tablets were shattered. What’s strange is that they died almost simultaneously. I don’t know how the Myriad Laws Divine Sect managed that.”

“Die simultaneously? Over three thousand kingdom-level experts died at the same time? That’s impossible! Who has such power to kill over three thousand kingdom-level experts at once? That’s impossible!”

“It’s true. We received the news too. Now, the sects also feel something is amiss and are preparing to send people to investigate.”

“So, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is truly capable. They killed over three thousand people just like that?”

“Does anyone know the details? How did they do it? Those were over three thousand kingdom-level experts, not ordinary disciples. Even killing ordinary disciples isn’t easy, let alone kingdom-level experts.”

“I heard the sects used a magic array, but that’s all I know.”

“They used a magic array, and they still died? Were the people from the sect too weak, or were the people from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect too strong?”

“Alright, this isn’t the time to discuss this. The people from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect clearly don’t want to let the people from the sect go; they still want to attack them. So they don’t want to get entangled with us anymore. What are everyone’s thoughts on this? Should we agree?”

This time, everyone fell silent again. To be honest, this wasn’t an easy question to answer. Logically, at this point, making peace with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was the best option. After all, they could only defend against the Myriad Laws Divine Sect; they had no offensive capabilities. They didn’t even know where the Myriad Laws Divine Sect members were, so how could they attack? As the saying goes, prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat. They knew that continuing to defend wasn’t a solution. If they could make peace with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, that would be ideal.

However, they also felt some resentment. They were a powerful alliance of aristocratic families; their strength was considerable, even capable of challenging the royal family. But what was the result? The result was that they were completely helpless against the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, and how could they accept this?

But now, however, it presented an opportunity. The Sect Alliance had clashed with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, and so many experts had died in the process—more than the entire length of their conflict with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. The Sect Alliance would definitely not let this go; they would certainly target the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. This presented an opportunity for them. They only needed to keep an eye on the Sect Alliance to find the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. Once they found it, they could thoroughly punish the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, vent their anger, and perhaps even wipe them out. This was precisely why they hesitated. If they made peace with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, they could no longer attack them. If they made peace with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect while simultaneously sending troops to attack them, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect would surely retaliate madly.

Those who betray their promises are more hateful than enemies. If they were to suddenly attack the Wanfa Divine Cult after the ceasefire, they would be in deep trouble unless they could wipe out the entire Wanfa Divine Cult in one fell swoop. The Wanfa Divine Cult would never let them go, and might even set aside their grudges with the sect alliance to focus solely on dealing with them.
