Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16301
Chapter 16299 Occupation
Chen Xian was unaware that the two men didn’t actually want to charge, but they were right beside Lu Yong. Since Lu Yong had already started charging, if they didn’t, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect would definitely punish them afterwards. So even knowing the danger, they had to charge despite the risks.
Lu Yong actually intended to lead these two men in the charge; he wanted them dead. He had already discerned that while their identities were suspicious, their strength wasn’t particularly high. Indeed, even if powerful families or sects sent spies, they wouldn’t send overly powerful ones. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect wasn’t a small force; they had Kingdom-level experts, and quite a few at that. If these Kingdom-level experts discovered their unusual strength, their identities would be exposed. Therefore, the people sent by powerful families couldn’t be too strong.
This time, Lu Yong and his group were attacking those Throne-level cultivators from the Silver Fir Sect. They couldn’t possibly be a match for Throne-level cultivators, but they outnumbered them; they could overwhelm them with sheer numbers.
Under normal circumstances, a Throne-level cultivator can easily handle ten Power-level cultivators. Of course, this is a theoretical figure. If a Throne-level cultivator faces ten well-trained and highly coordinated cultivators, they would have no chance of killing all ten. However, if they face ten rogue cultivators, they could probably kill them all quite easily—that’s the difference.
Now, the Throne-level cultivators from the Silver Fir Sect are coordinating their attacks, while the people from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect are all rogue cultivators, so it’s normal for them to suffer more casualties.
Lu Yong is now leading the charge, truly showing no fear of death. Chen Xian was stunned when he saw Lu Yong’s actions. He had no idea Lu Yong was so brave. Lu Yong had previously said he was coming to the Myriad Laws Divine Sect to retire, and such people would usually retreat at the first sign of danger. But Lu Yong was braver than anyone else, which astonished Chen Xian.
As Lu Yong charged towards the several Throne-level experts from the Silver Fir Sect, he swung his longsword. His strike landed squarely on the tip of one of the Silver Fir Sect Throne-level cultivators’ spears. With a clang, Lu Yong was struck as if by lightning, his body flying backward. The next moment, the spear trembled, swiftly thrusting twice to the sides. The two cultivators charging at Lu Yong tried to block the two thrusts, but they couldn’t. Each of them had a transparent hole in their neck, blood gushing out; it was clear they were dead.
However, the other cultivators of the Myriad Laws Sect seemed completely oblivious to this. They continued their reckless charge forward. Faced with such a charge, the cultivators of the Silver Fir Sect were terrified. Although the five of them cooperated and killed many disciples of the Myriad Laws Sect, they had no good way to deal with such an attack. Although they killed a few people, they were eventually killed by the disciples of the Myriad Laws Sect. However, the disciples of the Myriad Laws Sect paid a heavy price. Of the more than two hundred people who attacked this place, only about a hundred survived.
Lu Yong was injured, his face pale. Chen Xian was neither dead nor injured. Upon seeing Lu Yong’s injury, he immediately rushed to his side, supporting him, and said, “Senior Brother Lu, you didn’t have to fight so hard, did you?”
Lu Yong shook his head, then sighed softly, “In the end, it’s just that I’m unwilling to accept it. The sect has methods to improve my strength, methods to help me advance further, but right now it’s not my turn. How can I accept this? My whole life has been about improving my strength, becoming a Throne-level cultivator. Now…” “Such an opportunity is right in front of me. If I don’t give it my all, I’ll die rather than accept it. So I have to fight for it no matter what.”
Chen Xian immediately understood Lu Yong’s thoughts. The Myriad Laws Sect had said they had a way to further enhance his strength, and Lu Yong was unwilling to let his life’s efforts go to waste, only to have this one and only opportunity presented to him. So Lu Yong wanted to give it another shot, to perform well so that the sect might see his performance and directly give him that method. He was fighting for his own chance.
Chen Xian didn’t say anything more. He could understand Lu Yong. Imagine if it were him, he wouldn’t be willing to accept it either. After all, he had worked hard his whole life, and now this was the only opportunity he had. How could he be content with that? So it was only right for him to fight for it.
At this moment, the elder who had led them here reappeared before the crowd. He glanced at everyone and then said, “Those who are injured, go treat your wounds; those who are not injured, collect the bodies. Also, form small teams to patrol the entire market to prevent any trouble.”
Immediately, someone responded. Lu Yong then said, “Junior Brother Chen, select a few people to form a patrol team and keep an eye on the people in this market. Leave the body collection to the others.”
Chen Xian responded and immediately called a few people to patrol the market, while the others went to collect the bodies. Chen Xian didn’t see Lu Yong giving him a careful look as he left. Of course, Lu Yong couldn’t let Chen Xian collect the bodies; it was better to leave those bodies to their own people.
Meanwhile, the independent cultivators and shop owners in the market all stayed obediently in their rooms, listening to the sounds outside. It was best for them not to get involved in such matters, otherwise they might suffer the consequences. Even if some of them came from small families within the Silver Fir Sect, they dared not act rashly. After all, everyone here was weak, and even if they participated, they probably wouldn’t be able to change anything. It was better to wait for the outcome. If the Silver Fir Sect really lost, they could send a message to the sect.
Soon, the market returned to calm, and the corpses were all collected. Then, the Wanfa Divine Sect members occupied the area where the Silver Fir Sect disciples had lived. The wounded began to receive treatment there, and Lu Yong did the same, resting in a room.
A moment later, a knock came at the door. Lu Yong quickly said, “Come in.” The elder pushed open the door and entered. Lu Yong immediately bowed to the elder, saying, “Greetings, Elder.” The
elder waved his hand, saying, “No need for formalities. You did well yesterday; those two with questionable identities are all dead. However, Chen Xian is unharmed. How do you plan to deal with Chen Xian?”
Lu Yong quickly replied, “Chen Xian is very cautious, and he fought very hard, so I couldn’t find an opportunity. But if he dies in battle, I can turn him into one of our own.”
The elder nodded, saying, “Alright, you can handle it yourself. We’ve taken over this place now.” “Then we’ll have to hold onto this place. The Silver Fir Sect will definitely send people to attack, and there will be a major battle between the two sides. You need to be careful.”
Lu Yong responded, and the elder turned and left. After the elder left, Lu Yong lay down on the bed. His injuries had actually healed. He was lying there thinking about Chen Xian. To be honest, he had a good impression of Chen Xian. If he had the chance, he would like to help Chen Xian. But unfortunately, given Chen Xian’s current identity, he would probably only be able to find an opportunity to turn him into a member of the undead race. That would be helping Chen Xian in some way.
The next morning, all the shops in the market opened their doors cautiously, looking carefully outside. The market seemed normal. Some places damaged by the battle the night before had been repaired. Although some bloodstains could still be seen on the street, nothing else was visible. It seemed that everything had returned to normal.
Just as the shop owners were cautiously observing the market, a voice suddenly rang out: “Listen up, everyone in the market! From today onwards, the entire market is under the control of our Myriad Laws Divine Sect. The old rules will remain the same. Those who are supposed to do business, do business; those who are supposed to do something, do it.”
The voice wasn’t loud, but everyone in the market heard it clearly. The shop owners were startled, and some of them immediately changed their expressions, returning to their shops. Some of them then spread the news.
However, although the shop owners had spread the word, their shops remained open, and business continued as if everything was normal, as if nothing had happened. But the shop owners continued to carefully observe the situation in the market.
Not long after the market opened, several more groups of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect arrived. The number of Myriad Laws Divine Sect disciples in the market reached five hundred, including ten Royal Chariot-level cultivators and about fifty Throne-level cultivators.
Upon seeing this, the shopkeepers immediately spread the news. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect members, upon arrival, began to set up defenses and construct magic arrays within the market. Simultaneously, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect began recruiting outside the market, accepting independent cultivators. Anyone wishing to join the Myriad Laws Divine Sect could simply register their name and become a disciple.
Those rogue cultivators were well aware that joining the Myriad Laws Divine Sect at this time meant facing the attack of the Silver Fir Sect, which was clearly just recruiting cannon fodder. However, for these rogue cultivators, it was an opportunity—an opportunity to join a major power. In the past, they couldn’t even find such an opportunity. Now, this opportunity was right in front of them. As long as they survived the Silver Fir Sect’s attack, they would become disciples of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. This was a huge temptation for many rogue cultivators, so many of them signed up to join the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. The number of members in the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was increasing rapidly. In just one day, the number of members in the Myriad Laws Divine Sect here had increased to more than two thousand. Of course, most of them were newly joined rogue cultivators.
