Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16291

Chapter 16289 Attitude

Elder Lu slowly flew to the projection, then carefully observed it, even reaching out to touch it. He only touched air; there was indeed nothing there. Reassured, he landed on the ground, carefully examining it, touching it again, but still found nothing. The ground was just the ground, looking no different from anywhere else. Elder Lu frowned. He then tried attacking other areas, but his attacks vanished again. Startled, he immediately flew up, intending to check the ground elsewhere. He was now at the point of being disrespectful to the projection, after all, it was just a projection.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest. He looked down in disbelief and saw a flying sword slowly retracting from his chest.

He slowly turned his head and saw the projection, Qingyi, looking at him with a strange smile. The sword had been thrust out by Qingyi.

Elder Lu spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes fixed on Qingyi, before plummeting from the sky to the ground. Qingyi remained standing, silently watching him. Elder Lu’s body crashed heavily to the ground, blood gushing from his body; clearly, countless bones were broken, and he was beyond saving. Yet, his eyes remained fixed on Qingyi. Qingyi,

however, stood there calmly, watching him without any intention of moving. A flicker of regret crossed Elder Lu’s eyes, then his head lolled to the side, and he fell silent.

But Qingyi continued to stand there calmly, watching him. After a while, Elder Lu’s body twitched again, then remained still. Qingyi observed Elder Lu’s state, and the next moment, a rune landed directly on Elder Lu’s body.

Even though Elder Lu was fatally wounded, he still had the power for one last strike. However, this strike could only be unleashed when the target was close. So, his fall from the sky was actually to lure Qingyi over. He suffered such severe injuries to lure Qingyi over as well. Even the way he tilted his head at the end, as if he were dead, was also to lure Qingyi over. But Qingyi didn’t fall for it, so he really died in the end.

Elder Lu was unaware that the Qingyi he was referring to was not the real Qingyi at all; it was merely an attack method created by a magic array. The reason Qingyi hadn’t approached him was because this Qingyi wasn’t a real person. It lacked human emotions. To determine whether Elder Lu was dead, it didn’t need to examine him; it only needed to check if Elder Lu’s body was truly devoid of life. Elder Lu lay on the ground, and there was a magic array there that allowed it to clearly determine whether Elder Lu was truly dead. Obviously, it had known all along that Elder Lu had been feigning death. Therefore, Qingyi stood there without moving. Unlike a human, it wouldn’t try to say anything to Elder Lu while he was dying. It simply stood there quietly, waiting to place a necromancy rune on Elder Lu’s body once he was truly dead.

Elder Lu felt as if he were in a dream, a dream in which he died. In the dream, he learned about a sect called the Blood Slaughter Sect, its details, and that he had become a member of the undead race, automatically joining the Blood Slaughter Sect the moment he became one.

Then Elder Lu felt himself wake up. Opening his eyes, he saw the space. Seeing it, he knew he wasn’t dreaming. He immediately sat up, touching his body. Aside from a tear in his clothes at the chest, he had no wounds. Elder

Lu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, looked around, and then said, “Send me back to the sect.” This was something he had learned in his dream; in the dream, saying this would allow him to return to the sect.

The next moment, Elder Lu felt a blur before his eyes, and then he found himself in a completely unfamiliar space. At this moment, a cultivator flew over, bowed to Elder Lu, and said, “Welcome to the sect. I am the guiding disciple. Elder, please follow me.”

Elder Lu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and followed the disciple forward. The disciple began to truly guide him, explaining the Blood Slaughter Sect.

On the other side, Qingyi fought with the person who looked exactly like him for about an hour. In the end, Qingyi was stabbed to death by the other party. Even in his dying moments, he couldn’t believe that he was no match for a projection, but he was indeed no match and ultimately died at the other party’s hands.

The other sects’ kingdom-level experts fared much the same way; they too encountered various misfortunes and ultimately perished in battle. However, the timing of their deaths was different this time. At the very moment of their demise, their spirit tablets shattered within their respective sects. Upon seeing the broken spirit tablets, the sects knew their members were dead and immediately became tense. They dispatched people to the Blood Slaughter Sect’s headquarters to investigate. The messengers reported that everything at the headquarters appeared normal, with no apparent abnormalities. Of course, they dared not approach too closely, but it was clear that there were no signs of battle at the Blood Slaughter Sect’s headquarters.

When this news reached the Sect Alliance, everyone was stunned. They truly had no idea what had happened.

Qingxuan once again invited all the sect leaders to the Tianxuan Sect. After they arrived, Qingxuan looked at them and said, “All the people we sent out are dead. I think everyone already knows that, so I won’t say anything more. Now, everyone, tell me, what should we do next?”

One sect leader said, “No need to say more. This whole thing was a trap set by the Myriad Laws Divine Sect to lure us in. Luckily, we sent only a few people. If we had sent more, our losses would have been much greater. I think we should forget about attacking the Myriad Laws Divine Sect’s headquarters.”

Many sect leaders nodded in agreement. They shared the same thought. Attacking the Myriad Laws Divine Sect’s headquarters was indeed out of the question. Otherwise, they might fall into the trap again, and they didn’t want to suffer even greater losses.

Another sect leader spoke up: “But I’m really unwilling to accept this. Zhao Hai, the leader of the Myriad Laws Sect, is constantly attacking those smaller sects. Those smaller sects are suffering heavy losses, but we can’t do anything about them. The Myriad Laws Sect doesn’t have many temples to begin with, and there are no experts guarding those temples. If we can’t attack their main hall either, then we really have no way to attack them. That Zhao Hai is very cunning; it’s almost impossible for us to catch him. Under these circumstances, we really have no way to deal with the Myriad Laws Sect. Are we just going to let them get away with this?”

“To be honest, from the very beginning, we’ve been thinking about eliminating the Myriad Laws Sect. Isn’t that a bit too much? The Myriad Laws Sect’s existence is permitted by the royal family. Why does the royal family allow their existence? It’s so they can use the Myriad Laws Sect to deal with us and those aristocratic families. They are a knife in the royal family’s hand. I think everyone agrees on that, right?”

Everyone nodded, looking at the speaker. This time, it was none other than Wen Jing. Wen Jing glanced at everyone and then said, “If we want to eliminate the Myriad Laws Sect, we must first ask the royal family for their consent. If the royal family doesn’t agree, they will definitely intervene when the Myriad Laws Sect is in its most dangerous moment. At that time, the Myriad Laws Sect will be even more grateful to the royal family, but they will only hate us more. So, I think we should change our attitude towards the Myriad Laws Sect.”

Everyone fell into deep thought after hearing his words. They were digesting Wen Jing’s words, but they had to admit that what Wen Jing said seemed to make a lot of sense.

Wen Jing glanced at everyone and continued, “I know we’ve now formed a blood feud with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. We first joined the aristocratic families in destroying all of their temples, and then we killed so many of their experts. But the aristocratic families also harbored deep hatred for the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, yet they’ve reconciled. Why can’t we reconcile with them? Last time, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect suffered heavy losses because of our schemes, and they probably want to recuperate now. However, if they don’t retaliate, they’ll lose face, which is why Zhao Hai intervened. Although Zhao Hai has been attacking us these past few days, the damage he’s caused hasn’t been significant, and his attacks have weakened considerably. Under these circumstances, shouldn’t we try to reconcile with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect? Even if we don’t openly reconcile, we can still send signals of reconciliation so we can all rest and recuperate for a while, which would benefit us as well.”

Upon hearing this … Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, then nodded in agreement. Qingxuan looked at Wenjing and asked, “What do you intend to do?”

Wenjing replied in a deep voice, “If we don’t openly reconcile with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, they won’t agree. Because someone doesn’t want them to agree, they can’t agree. But if we don’t openly reconcile, there won’t be a problem. For example, we can completely withdraw from the market for a period of time, ceasing our attacks on Zhao Hai and the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, and focusing entirely on defense. This way, the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect should understand our intentions. If they still attack us under these circumstances, they shouldn’t blame us for being impolite. At that time, we can concentrate all the forces of our sects to raze the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. But I think the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect are all intelligent, and they probably won’t do that. What do you all think?” After Wenjing finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, wanting to see their attitude and whether they would agree with his plan.
