Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16293
Chapter 16291. Fear
What no one knew was that the Blood Slaughter Sect was currently reaping the spoils of the outer cities of the Divine Kingdom. Although those outer cities had some connection with the Divine Kingdom, the connection was not extensive. The Blood Slaughter Sect had already begun attacking those outer cities, and now many of them had become the Blood Slaughter Sect’s territory without any information being leaked. Of course, all the members of the Creation God Sect in those outer cities had also been killed, leaving none behind.
The members of the Creation God Cult within the Divine Kingdom were the first to learn of the fall of the garrison cities. They learned this through the members of the Creation God Cult residing in those cities. The garrison cities had a large number of members, as the Divine Kingdom’s control over them had always been lax. Thus, many members of the Creation God Cult, who had been completely wiped out in the Divine Kingdom, still existed openly in the garrison cities. Of course, if the Blood Slaughter Sect wanted to deal with those garrison cities, the members of the Creation God Cult could not be spared. Therefore, the members of the Creation God Cult within the Divine Kingdom received this news. The
members of the Creation God Cult within the Divine Kingdom were quite smug. In their view, the conflicts between the aristocratic families and the royal family, the conflicts with the Myriad Laws Divine Cult, and the conflicts between the Myriad Laws Divine Cult and other sects—all of these things were related to them. They were the ones who instigated the conflict from the beginning, which led to the current state of the Divine Kingdom. Therefore, they were very proud.
Unfortunately, the conflict between the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and the sects has now ceased, much to the disappointment of the Creation Divine Sect. They were still pondering how to reignite the conflict.
However, just as they were thinking about these matters, they were suddenly attacked. This time, their attackers were from the Blood Slaughter Sect. The Blood Slaughter Sect showed no mercy this time, slaughtering every single member of the Creation Divine Sect. There was no longer any need to spare the Myriad Laws Divine Sect members.
Of course, the people in the Divine Kingdom were unaware of this battle, as they had no idea of the Creation Divine Sect’s existence. They believed they had completely wiped out the Creation Divine Sect, unaware that remnants still existed. Therefore, they were also unaware of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s purge of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect.
Completely oblivious to the situation in the Divine Kingdom, all members of the Creation Divine Sect in the Divine Kingdom and the Guardian City were eliminated. The Creation Divine Sect was effectively uprooted by the Blood Slaughter Sect within the Divine Kingdom.
The people here in the Divine Kingdom are completely unaware of this matter. Their attention is entirely focused on something else: the affairs of the Myriad Laws Divine Cult.
The Myriad Laws Divine Cult’s recruitment has attracted everyone’s attention. Whether it’s the royal family, aristocratic families, or sects, everyone is watching. No one wants the Myriad Laws Divine Cult to become too powerful. The royal family hopes the Myriad Laws Divine Cult will grow stronger, but not too strong. The aristocratic families and sects, needless to say, are the last to want the Myriad Laws Divine Cult to become powerful.
However, they cannot openly stop the Myriad Laws Divine Cult from recruiting. The royal family has the best relationship with the Myriad Laws Divine Cult; if they stop them, it would be tantamount to offending the Myriad Laws Divine Cult. The Myriad Laws Divine Cult would certainly not be happy, and if a grudge were to develop between them, it would be troublesome. This sword might no longer obey their commands. Therefore, the royal family cannot intervene directly.
The aristocratic families wouldn’t interfere either. They had an agreement with the Myriad Laws Sect, and if they stopped them from recruiting now, that agreement would be void, and the Myriad Laws Sect would definitely retaliate. The aristocratic families didn’t want to cause that trouble.
The sects wouldn’t interfere either. They had finally reached a tacit understanding with the Myriad Laws Sect to avoid further conflict. If they stopped the sect from recruiting now, their war would likely restart, which would be truly troublesome. Therefore, the sects wouldn’t interfere either.
This is precisely why, despite the opposition’s reluctance, no one stopped the Myriad Laws Divine Sect from recruiting members this time. Of course, this situation was created by the Myriad Laws Divine Sect’s actions. If the sect hadn’t first focused its efforts on attacking the aristocratic families, subduing them, and then on attacking the sects, subduing them as well, neither the aristocratic families nor the sects would have let them off easily. However, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect’s willingness and ability to fight deterred the aristocratic families and sects from taking any rash action. In their eyes, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was like a mad dog. If you could kill them, that would be fine, but if you actually killed the sect, you would also end up injured yourself. No one wants to be bitten by a mad dog, so no one dared to easily provoke the Myriad Laws Divine Sect.
Of course, there was another reason: they didn’t take action. In their view, the strength of the Myriad Laws Sect was undeniable. Even if they recruited a bunch of rogue cultivators to bolster their ranks in a short time, their own strength wouldn’t increase significantly. The strength of those rogue cultivators was simply mediocre; even if they joined the Myriad Laws Sect, their power wouldn’t improve much in a short period. Ultimately, they were just a rabble.
Because of this thinking, none of the various forces stopped the Myriad Laws Sect from recruiting, and the sect successfully recruited a large number of rogue cultivators.
After joining the Myriad Laws Cult, some of the independent cultivators went directly to the Myriad Laws Temple, becoming temple keepers. Many more, however, went directly to the cult’s headquarters, living there and officially becoming disciples.
This was unexpected; everyone assumed the Myriad Laws Cult would follow the same path as the Creation Cult, which focused its attention on the city, incorporating much of their lives there, including its headquarters. Of course, this didn’t mean they had no temples outside the city; the Creation Cult did have properties and temples outside the city, though relatively few in number.
The Myriad Laws Sect clearly intended to replace the Creation Sect, and everyone assumed they would follow the Creation Sect’s old path. However, the Myriad Laws Sect didn’t do that. They established their headquarters outside the city, and most of their disciples were also located outside the city. Conversely, there were very few temples within the city. This indicated
they were focusing their efforts outside the city, making the Myriad Laws Sect seem less like the Creation Sect and more like a sect. Upon hearing this news, Gongliang Juewen’s expression darkened. If the Myriad Laws Sect truly wanted to become a sect, would they join the Sect Alliance later? Although they currently had a grudge against the Sect Alliance, what about the future? If they had a common enemy later, wouldn’t that mean they could cooperate again?
Between forces like the Myriad Laws Sect and sects, there are no permanent enemies, nor permanent friends; everything is based on interests. If their interests align, they can cooperate and even temporarily remain friends. However, if their interests conflict, they will immediately start fighting again—that’s perfectly normal.
Therefore, if the Myriad Laws Sect truly becomes a sect, they might actually join the sect alliance in the future. If that happens, it will be quite troublesome.
Thinking of this, Gongliang Juewen frowned. He then invited several elders of the Gongliang family to his study. Once they arrived, Gongliang Juewen looked at them and said, “Gentlemen, have you all heard about the Wanfa Divine Sect? The Wanfa Divine Sect has actually moved their headquarters outside the city. Besides a few temples in the city, they don’t own many properties there. If this is the case, the Wanfa Divine Sect has essentially become a sect, which is not a good thing. What do you all think about this?” Upon hearing
Gongliang Juewen’s words, everyone frowned. They had heard some of this story, but they hadn’t taken it seriously at the time. Now, hearing Gongliang Juewen’s words, they immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. If the Wanfa Divine Sect really became a sect, it would be a real problem. It would mean that the Wanfa Divine Sect would be completely out of their control, which was not a good thing.
An elder spoke up: “If the Myriad Laws Divine Sect really tries to operate as a sect, it will indeed be very troublesome. However, they have a deep-seated grudge against the Sect Alliance. Do you think the Sect Alliance will let them become a sect? I think it’s definitely not going to happen. The people of the Sect Alliance will definitely deal with them.”
“Not necessarily. If the Sect Alliance could really deal with them, they would have done so long ago, not waited until now. It’s clear they’ve reached a tacit understanding to stop their conflict. So, getting the Sect Alliance to deal with the Myriad Laws Sect won’t be easy.”
Everyone nodded. Gongliang Juewen added, “That’s what I think too. The Sect Alliance might not be willing to deal with the Myriad Laws Sect right now. If they manage to make the Myriad Laws Sect a sect, then reconciliation with the Sect Alliance isn’t impossible. Don’t forget, once the Myriad Laws Sect considers itself a sect, they’ll have an enemy.”
Everyone knew who Gongliang Juewen was referring to—they. Even though some members of the Sect Alliance hold official positions in the court, these officials still listen to the sects. And the sects have a greater feud with the royal family. To oppose the royal family, cooperation between the Sect Alliance and the Myriad Laws Sect isn’t impossible.
“But will the Myriad Laws Divine Sect cooperate with the Sect Alliance? I don’t think so. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect still can’t do without us, and they should understand our intentions. They should be very clear that if they dare to act recklessly, it will be easy for us to deal with them. We’ve already dealt with the Creation Divine Sect, so how could we not deal with them? Therefore, I don’t think there’s any need to worry too much. In any case, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect can still be used by us, and that’s enough.”
