Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16271

Chapter 16269. Reconciliation

Xu Ying stood on Qingfeng Mountain, still feeling somewhat nervous. This was his first time representing the Myriad Laws Sect in negotiations. Although they already knew the outcome, Xu Ying was still a little nervous.

A moment later, a figure landed beside him. Xu Ying turned his head and saw that it was Wan Hai. Xu Ying clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wan Hai and said with a smile, “Greetings, Patriarch Wan.”

Wan Hai looked at Xu Ying and frowned slightly before asking, “Bishop Xu, what brings you here?”

Xu Ying smiled slightly and said, “What? Patriarch Wan seems disappointed at not seeing our Sect Master? Is Patriarch Wan worried that I can’t make decisions, or do you have some thoughts about our Sect Master?”

Wan Hai was taken aback, but then he immediately understood Xu Ying’s meaning. He gave Xu Ying a cold look. Then he spoke up, “Bishop Xu, you’re judging us by your own petty standards. We’ve come with sincerity, and we hope you won’t misunderstand.”

Xu Ying smiled slightly and said in a deep voice, “I don’t want to know what you mean. I just want to tell you that I am the one who can fully represent the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. What I say today, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect will recognize, so you can rest assured.”

Upon hearing Xu Ying’s words, Wan Hai was taken aback. He glanced at Xu Ying, then nodded and said, “Alright, then please just say what the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is thinking.” “

Looking at him, Xu Ying smiled and said, “Actually, our thinking is very simple. Although we still have grudges against the aristocratic families, we know it’s impossible to wipe them out. So it’s better to stop while we’re ahead. Therefore, we don’t want to fight the aristocratic families anymore. If you agree, then we will cease hostilities with them. How about that?”

Wan Hai looked at Xu Ying and then said in a deep voice, “Okay, we agree to this. Do you have any other requirements?”

Xu Ying said in a deep voice, “Simple. We want to rebuild the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws in each city. You cannot stop us, nor can you attack or destroy it.”

Wan Hai nodded. “Okay,” said the first man. “Anything else?”

Xu Ying nodded, her face serious. “There’s one last clause. If either party breaches the agreement, then our agreement today is null and void. We’ll automatically revert to a hostile state. What do you say? Do you agree?”

Upon hearing this, Wan Hai frowned. “Doesn’t that mean that if you say we’ll cease hostilities today, then we’ll cease hostilities. But if you attacked us yesterday, it means we’ll resume hostilities. Doesn’t that mean the initiative is entirely in your hands? Do you think that’s fair?”

Upon hearing Wan Hai’s words… He couldn’t help but smile, then said, “The initiative to cease hostilities today is indeed in our hands, but the initiative to start a war isn’t just in our hands, it’s also in yours. If you strike first, wouldn’t the initiative fall into your hands?”

Wan Hai fell silent upon hearing Xu Ying’s words. Xu Ying, seeing his expression, continued, “Actually, even if we continued fighting you now, it wouldn’t be impossible. It’s nothing special, but we simply don’t want to. This isn’t just because we know we can’t eliminate you, but also because we want to give His Majesty face. His Majesty once wanted to appoint our leader as the Imperial Preceptor, but our leader used this reward to exchange for an opportunity to wage war against you. However, we can’t fight too fiercely, otherwise it will displease His Majesty. We don’t want to offend His Majesty, so we want to cease hostilities.”

Wan Hai became even more silent upon hearing Xu Ying’s words. After a long while, he finally spoke, “Alright, we agree to this point. I just hope you can keep your promise. Our agreement to cease hostilities this time is actually out of respect for His Majesty.” “Don’t underestimate the power of our aristocratic families. We’re not afraid of you. If you break the agreement first, we’ll join forces with the sects to deal with you. Then you’ll be in trouble.”

Xu Ying smiled slightly and said, “Of course we understand this, which is why we agreed to a truce. If you get too close to the sects, it will displease His Majesty. So, if we go to war with the sects, you’d better not attack us. Otherwise, His Majesty might think you’re cooperating with the sects. Whether you’re truly cooperating with the sects is another matter.” “It’s not important. What’s important is that if His Majesty believes you are cooperating with the sect, then you will be punished. Of course, we won’t provoke you at this time, otherwise it would displease His Majesty. So our agreement is still very solid.”

Wan Hai gave Xu Ying a deep look. He hadn’t expected Xu Ying to have thought everything through. He looked at Xu Ying again and then said, “Alright, it’s settled then. I hope you remember this agreement.” After saying that, Wan Hai gave Xu Ying another deep look, then his figure moved and he flew away.

Xu Ying glanced at Wan Hai, then smiled slightly, and then his figure also moved and he flew away. He flew in the sky for a while, then suddenly disappeared, vanishing into the air as if he had never been there.

Not long after he disappeared, several people suddenly appeared where Xu Ying had disappeared. The faces of those people were very ugly. They looked around, and then one of them said, “He got away. He didn’t use an invisibility spell?”

Another person spoke up, “It’s not invisibility; it’s probably some kind of magic array. I suspect he’s carrying one of those magic arrays or artifacts that can be used by one person. Such arrays or artifacts can release illusions and also shield his energy, which is why he suddenly disappeared.”

“Could it be that he discovered us?”

“Impossible. We’ve been hiding very well. I don’t believe he could have discovered us. I think he might not have discovered us; they’re just naturally cautious. Don’t forget, this was supposed to be Zhao Hai meeting Wan Hai, but Xu Ying came to see Wan Hai instead. That shows how careful they are.”

“Damn it, we paid a considerable price to get this information, and we got nothing in return. These guys from the Myriad Laws Cult are really cunning.”

“It seems we shouldn’t expect to wipe out the Myriad Laws Temple in one go. The Myriad Laws Sect has reconciled with the aristocratic families, so will they resume construction of the Myriad Laws Temple next? If they dare to resume construction, we can deal with them. We’ll deal with every Myriad Laws Temple they build. I really don’t believe they’ll keep building them indefinitely. We’ll definitely force them out.”

“It seems that’s the only way. Let’s go, we must report this.”

Everyone agreed, and then they left. An hour after they left, the area remained calm. Suddenly, several people appeared, seemingly invisible. One of them said, “Looks like they really left a long time ago.” Another nodded, and then they vanished.

Another hour passed, and several more people appeared there. These were the same people who had left earlier. After they arrived, one of them said, “It’s been so long, I wonder if there’s any trace left. Let’s try.”

The others all nodded, and then one of them took out a magic array. He quickly cast several spells into the array, and the array lit up. A golden light appeared on the array, but it just kept spinning in place.

The others glanced at the golden light and then shook their heads, saying, “There’s no energy fluctuation at all. It seems that the opponent’s array can indeed shield energy fluctuations.”

They all nodded, then put away the array and left. Meanwhile, Xu Ying and the others were watching a projection showing the situation there. Xu Ying had indeed left long ago, but he had left behind some magical insects to observe the situation. The others hadn’t noticed the magical insects, so their conversation was all under Xu Ying and the others’ watchful eyes.

Watching the group leave, Xu Ying smiled slightly and said, “Not bad. These guys seem to be from a sect. I wonder who they bribed in the aristocratic families to find out about the situation at Qingfeng Mountain. It looks like they were planning to ambush you, young master, but when they discovered it was me, they tried to follow me to our base and wipe us out. Unfortunately, they didn’t get the chance.”

The other elders all nodded. Xu Ying continued, “Now that the aristocratic families are dealt with, the next step is to deal with the sects. Let’s choose a target. However, I think it’s best to discuss this with Uncle Chang and the others. They control quite a few sects now. If we talk to them, they should tell us which sects can be our targets. It wouldn’t be good if we attacked our own people.”

The elders all nodded. Then Xu Ying said, “I’ll go find Uncle Chang now and talk to him about this.” The elders all nodded, and then Xu Ying disappeared.

Meanwhile, Gongliang Juewen was listening to the eunuch’s report. After the eunuch finished speaking, Gongliang Juewen said, “So, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect has reconciled with the aristocratic families? The Myriad Laws Divine Sect is preparing to rebuild the temple? And then they plan to deal with those sects?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Interesting. These guys from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect are getting bolder and bolder. But it’s good. Once they build the temple, it’s like they have a foothold, making them easier to control. But when you go downstairs, send a letter directly to the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and the sects, telling them that I don’t care how they fight among themselves, but they must remember one thing: they absolutely cannot harm the ordinary people in the city. If they harm the ordinary people in the city, then don’t blame me for being impolite. No matter who harms the ordinary people in the city, I will punish both families together.” The eunuch acknowledged and then left Gongliang Juewen’s room.
