Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16288

Chapter 16286: Seeing Through

Tianxuan Sect, in the council hall, the sect leaders of various sects arrived once again. However, this time, many of them had blank expressions on their faces. They didn’t know why Qingxuan had summoned them. After the people from various sects arrived, Qingxuan came to the council hall. This time, he had a smile on his face. When the people from various sects saw his expression, they were all stunned and didn’t know why he was so happy.

After Qingxuan sat down, one of the sect leaders spoke first, “Sect Leader Qingxuan seems very happy. Is there some good news?”

Qingxuan glanced at everyone, then smiled slightly and said, “You’re all right. There is indeed good news. I just received news that the Wanfa Divine Sect has rebuilt their headquarters. Their headquarters was destroyed before, but now they have rebuilt it. Moreover, Xu Ying and the others are all here, which means that all the experts of the Wanfa Divine Sect are here, except for Zhao Hai.”

Upon hearing this news, the sect leaders were first stunned, then their eyes lit up. For them, this was definitely good news. They had been unable to find the Wanfa Divine Sect members before, but this time they had found them. How could they not be happy?

However, there was one person whose face was not smiling. Instead, he was frowning, seemingly lost in thought. Qingxuan, who had always been smiling, was taken aback when he saw that person’s expression. He then asked, “Sect Master Wen, what’s wrong?” His words drew everyone’s attention to Wen Jing. They were all surprised to find that Wen Jing’s face showed no joy.

Looking at their expressions, Wen Jing continued, “It’s nothing, I just remembered some unpleasant things. Last time, we discovered members of the Myriad Laws Cult at their headquarters, so we prepared to deal with them. We even set up a magic array there and sent out quite a few cultivators, but what was the result? Everyone died. To this day, we still don’t know how they died. Most importantly, they all died at the same time. To be honest, we still don’t have a very reasonable explanation. This time, they’ve reappeared at their headquarters and are even rebuilding it. I have a feeling something’s fishy.”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, then fell into deep thought. After a while, they exchanged glances, unsure what to say. Looking at their expressions, Wen Jing continued, “Myriad Laws Cult…” The people of the Myriad Laws Cult, who hadn’t appeared before, have suddenly shown up, and right at their headquarters. Their appearance there at this time is strange, considering their headquarters isn’t in the city. Attacking them would be effortless for them. For them to rebuild their headquarters under these circumstances is illogical. So I’m very curious why the Myriad Laws Cult is doing this. They’re not stupid, so this could be another trap.” Qingxuan and

the others frowned. Hearing Wenjing’s words, they also felt something was amiss. Qingxuan then spoke up: “So, in other words, this could really be a trap targeting us, since we killed so many of their people before, and they want to use this method against us?” Wenjing said in a

deep voice: “I can’t be sure, but I think the Myriad Laws Cult…” “No one would expose such a large flaw to us. The leader of the Myriad Laws Sect, Zhao Hai, is attacking us. The others in the sect should be hiding so we don’t discover them. Only then can Zhao Hai be free from worries. But now they’ve appeared, and right there at their headquarters. This is strange in itself, don’t you think?”

No one spoke, but many already believed Wen Jing’s words. Wen Jing glanced at everyone and then said, “We could attack their headquarters, but we must be careful and not commit too many troops, otherwise we might fall into their trap.”

Everyone nodded. Qing Xuan continued, “I think Sect Leader Wen is right. We can’t make a mistake now. If we really fall into the Myriad Laws Sect’s trap, then everything we’ve done before will be in vain. We should be careful, but if…” “Letting them rebuild their main hall so easily is really disheartening. Why don’t we launch a probing attack? What do you all think?”

Everyone nodded. Then, one of the sect leaders spoke up: “We can attack them, but I think it’s best if we attack from a distance, avoiding close combat. Last time we attacked their main hall, we suffered considerable losses. Their main hall must have a very powerful magic array. If we get too close, we might get trapped in it, which wouldn’t be good for us.”

Everyone nodded. Qingxuan said, “How about this, each sect chooses one person to launch a probing attack on their main hall? What do you think?”

This time, no one objected. Choosing one person from each sect, even if there were losses, would be something they could afford.

Qingxuan said, “Alright, I’ll give you three days. Within three days, everyone use your own strength to get to the outer perimeter of the Wanfa Divine Sect’s headquarters. We’ll gather there and launch a ranged attack on the headquarters to test their reaction. If we manage to hit them, that’s great; if not, then forget it.”

Everyone nodded again. After discussing the details of the operation, they took their leave. Qingxuan returned to his study. Even after returning, Qingxuan was still thinking about the Wanfa Divine Sect. He really wanted to know what was going on at their headquarters.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hai also received news that the Sect Alliance was going to attack the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. However, upon receiving this news and hearing that each sect was only sending one person, Zhao Hai knew that the Sect Alliance had already seen through their plan. However, Zhao Hai did not intend to let those members of the Sect Alliance go. Although each sect was only sending one person, and it was all the major sects that were sending people, while the smaller sects were not sending anyone, even so, there were still several hundred Kingdom-level experts. Although killing all these Kingdom-level experts would not seriously damage the sects, they still had to be killed. By killing these people, the Blood Slaughter Sect would have more Kingdom-level experts, while the Sect Alliance would lose those Kingdom-level experts. No matter how you looked at it, this deal was very worthwhile.

However, Zhao Hai pretended not to know about this matter and continued to attack the smaller sects within the sect alliance. Because he didn’t want this conflict to escalate into a full-scale war, Zhao Hai didn’t touch the markets of the various sects. Although the markets varied in size, none of them had kingdom-level experts stationed there. Zhao Hai didn’t want to kill ordinary people, so he didn’t attack those markets. If Zhao Hai really attacked the markets of the various sects, it would definitely cause strong dissatisfaction within the sect alliance. After all, those markets were an important source of income for each sect. Cutting off someone’s livelihood is like killing their parents. At that time, they would have no room for maneuver with the sect alliance, and the war might escalate completely.

It wasn’t that Zhao Hai was worried about the war escalating completely; in fact, he might even have hoped for a full-scale escalation. However, he was acutely aware that if he allowed the war to escalate, neither the royal family nor the powerful clans would agree. They would then become the common enemy of the entire divine kingdom, which would be tantamount to exposing their identities. Therefore, he couldn’t do that.

Sure enough, when the sect members discovered that Zhao Hai was still attacking the smaller sects, they assumed he was unaware of their planned attack on the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. They felt somewhat relieved. They spent three days gathering all the experts from their respective sects there. This time, the number of kingdom-level experts gathered exceeded five hundred. They were very cautious; their meeting point was a small hill a hundred miles away from the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect.

Once everyone had arrived at the hill, they all looked towards the direction of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect’s headquarters. Among them, the leader was an elder from the Heavenly Profound Sect named Qing Yi.

Qingyi was also a master of the Tianxuan Sect, possessing formidable strength. Despite his refined-sounding name, he was notoriously hot-tempered. During his travels, many died at his hands. He also had a nickname: “Eight Trigrams Furnace.” While

the nickname might sound odd, everyone who knew him felt it suited him perfectly. He was nicknamed this because he was skilled in a powerful Eight Trigrams Sword Formation, and coupled with his fiery temper—like a furnace constantly burning—he earned this moniker. Of course, Qingyi disliked this nickname, and most people wouldn’t call him by it in his presence. No one wanted to offend him, and calling him by this nickname to his face might just provoke a physical attack. Therefore, no one dared to use this nickname in his presence.

Qingyi was short and slightly overweight, with neatly groomed jet-black hair, a thick mustache on his upper lip, and a short stubble on his chin. He had large eyes, but his expression was very serious.

His gaze was fixed on the direction of the Wanfa Divine Sect’s headquarters, and he said in a deep voice, “The sect said that this time we can only attack them from a distance once, and we can’t get too close. I know the sect is doing this for our own good, and I don’t object. But we must discuss how to attack first, and even if we’re going to attack from a distance, we must agree on the distance. What do you all think?”
