Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16276
Chapter 16274: Response
Qingxuan and the others looked even more grim. Qingxuan looked at Wenjing and said, “Give me a straight answer. If they really use this kind of formation against us, can they break through our defensive array in one strike?” Wenjing
said in a deep voice, “Even if they can’t break through our defensive array in one strike, they can still strike a second time. If they can preserve most of the Creation Golden Wheel’s power, then they have a way to make the sword array release sword energy multiple times in a short period of time, which our defensive array cannot withstand.”
Qingxuan looked at Wenjing and said, “Then are we really not left with any way to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect? Are we just supposed to let them attack us?”
Wenjing said in a deep voice, “There really isn’t a good way. To block their attacks, the only method I can think of right now is to monitor the underground, and not just ordinary monitoring, but deeper monitoring. In addition, we must also monitor the surrounding sky.” “Only in this way can we detect them in advance. If we can detect them in advance, we can prepare in advance and then we can act. As long as we can block their magic array in advance, that’s enough.”
Qingxuan frowned, and the other sect leaders all frowned as well. This was indeed a method, but it was not an easy task to achieve. Qingxuan said, “If we really want to use this method, how deep underground do we need to monitor at the very least?”
Wenjing shook his head and said, “I don’t know about that, but the opponent is using the Creation Golden Wheel and the Three Mountains Sword, so the depth of the underground we need to monitor must be at least three to five hundred meters. But how to monitor such a deep depth is a problem.”
Everyone fell silent again. Indeed, how to monitor such a deep depth was a problem. Using people to monitor, how far could a person’s spiritual power detect at such a depth? Not to mention that underground, the soil would block spiritual power, and spiritual power simply could not detect very far. If not people, then what else could be used?
Qingxuan looked at Wenjing and asked, “Is there any way to detect their magic array?”
Wenjing thought for a moment and then replied, “Speaking of methods, there is indeed one, but I don’t know if it will work. Actually, the method is very simple. We can forge an iron rod and then insert it directly into the ground. The longer the iron rod, the better. Every so often, there will be a magic array on the iron rod. This magic array can be a ground-listening array. The effect of this kind of array is not very large; it can only be used to listen to underground sounds, and the range is not very large. So, if we want to use this method, we need to forge a lot of iron rods, preferably enough to completely surround our sect. Moreover, this kind of iron rod is very easy to forge; an ordinary iron rod will suffice. We just need to engrave the ground-listening array on the iron rod. The ground-listening array does not require energy; it simply amplifies underground sounds.” “But then we’ll have to send people on the ground to watch those iron rods. They have to report any sound immediately. Only then can we detect the enemy. Of course, this is just one method I came up with; its effectiveness is uncertain.”
Qingxuan said in a deep voice, “It sounds reliable, and almost all sects can use this method. Why don’t we give it a try? If it’s just ordinary iron rods, then forging them is very simple. This is indeed the simplest method.”
Everyone else nodded in agreement. It was indeed the simplest method, and each sect could forge them themselves. This was extremely important, since there were so many sects in the Divine Kingdom. If only one or two sects could forge these iron rods, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect would probably have attacked all the sects before the rods were even finished.
Wen Jing glanced at everyone and said, “This is the simplest and possibly most effective method I can think of. If this method doesn’t work, then I have no other choice. At the same time, we still need to hurry up and find the Wanfa Divine Sect’s personnel, otherwise we can only passively take a beating.”
Everyone nodded, and Qing Xuan said, “Alright, everyone go back and prepare these iron rods immediately. Only in this way can we discover the Wanfa Divine Sect’s formation in advance. I won’t waste any more of your time. By the way, what Sect Master Wen said earlier is right. We must hurry up and find the Wanfa Divine Sect’s personnel, otherwise we will always be passive, which is unacceptable.”
Everyone nodded, and then they all stood up, bid farewell to Qing Xuan, and left Tianxuan Sect. After all, they were all from major sects, and they had to go back immediately to prepare the iron rods. The sooner they had the iron rods ready, the sooner they could ensure their safety, which was the most important thing.
After the sect leaders returned, they immediately informed the other sects in their alliance about the matter. Of course, among these sects were those controlled by the Blood Slaughter Sect, which also received the news. After receiving the news, Chang Jun immediately informed Xu Ying.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying was taken aback. He frowned and then summoned Liu Yi to his room. Once Liu Yi arrived, Xu Ying said, “Elder Liu, I just received news that those sects have devised a method: they’ll use a long iron rod, inserting the end into the ground and engraving a geo-listening array on it to monitor the underground and hear our movements. Do you think this method will be effective?” Liu Yi raised
an eyebrow upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, “Anyone who could come up with this method is absolutely…” He’s a smart man, and someone who understands magic arrays very well. His method, though simple, is extremely effective. As long as the iron rods they create are long enough, they’ll definitely discover our attempt to approach those sects underground, and we won’t have a good solution.”
Xu Ying frowned upon hearing this. Liu Yi, seeing his expression, smiled and said, “Isn’t this normal? Our attack on those sects isn’t about inflicting significant damage; it’s about drawing everyone’s attention. So we…” “Even if we can’t deal with those sects, it doesn’t really matter. Besides, to be honest, even if we don’t attack them from underground, we can still put immense pressure on them. Isn’t that better? Furthermore, next time we attack them, we’ll pretend we don’t know about their actions, so even if they come up with this method, it doesn’t seem to have much impact on our plans, right?”
Xu Ying was taken aback, then he couldn’t help but laugh and said, “You’re right, that’s indeed the case. Okay, then we’ll attack them this way next time. Even if the effect isn’t great, we’ll accept it.”
Liu Yi nodded and then said, “Don’t underestimate the Xu Earth Magnetic Sword Formation. Even if we can’t launch a direct assault, this sword formation alone is enough to give them trouble. Moreover, we can attack a few more sects before they finish preparing those iron rods, putting even more pressure on them.”
Xu Ying nodded, then immediately invited the other elders over and explained the current situation to them. After hearing Xu Ying’s plan, the elders immediately agreed and began preparing for action.
In the following days, they attacked several smaller sects, none of which were too far from the Five Spirits Sect. These smaller sects were easily wiped out and their territories were taken over by other sects, becoming branch halls of the larger sects. Meanwhile, the various sects intensified their
iron rod forging. Forging iron rods was actually quite simple; for any sect, large or small, it was easy. As for magic arrays, those weren’t difficult either. The Earth Listening Array wasn’t anything extraordinary; it was a very simple array. Almost anyone who knew magic arrays could create this one, making it even easier to inscribe. The so-called Earth Listening Array acted like an underground sound amplifier, amplifying sounds from underground so that people on the surface could hear them. Such an array was naturally very easy to set up, so the iron rod production by each sect proceeded smoothly.
Of course, the length of the iron rods forged by each sect varied. Smaller sects typically forged iron rods around 300 meters long, while larger sects, like the Tianxuan Sect, generally forged iron rods around 500 meters long.
About half a month passed, and Xu Ying and his group had already destroyed five smaller sects. All the iron rods for each sect had been installed and inserted into the ground. They also had people stationed on top of the iron rods to keep watch, just in case they couldn’t hear anything.
Xu Ying and his group knew that the iron rods of the various sects had already been deployed, and they also knew that they would have to prepare for a fierce battle when they attacked those sects next time. They couldn’t afford not to attack, because if they didn’t, it would mean that they knew about the sects’ actions. Then the sect alliance would know that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect could know their movements, and they would guess that someone in the alliance had leaked information. If they really investigated, they might easily find out the problem. In any case, Xu Ying and his group couldn’t let the sect alliance suspect that there were problems within their ranks. Otherwise, they might discover Chang Jun’s actions. If the sect alliance discovered Chang Jun’s actions because of them, they would become the sinners. Therefore, Xu Ying and his group had to pretend not to know about the sects’ actions, which was actually quite difficult.
Xu Ying and her team were ready, so their operation began once again. Xu Ying glanced at Liu Yi and then said, “Elder Liu, this time it’s up to you. Don’t let them see any flaws.”
Liu Yi nodded and smiled, “Don’t worry, I’ve got it covered. There won’t be any problems.” (End of Chapter)
