Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16308
Chapter 16306: The Second Offensive
Lu Yong was quite surprised to see Chen Xian return so quickly. He looked at Chen Xian with some confusion and asked, “Why are you back so soon? Didn’t you spend more time with your parents?”
Chen Xian shook his head and said, “There’s no need. Anyway, we’re all in the same sect now, so we can see each other whenever we want. We still have a mission here, and we don’t know when the Silver Fir Sect will attack again, so I came back.”
Hearing Chen Xian say this, Lu Yong couldn’t help but shake his head and said, “You, what’s the rush? The sect won’t stop functioning without you. Even without you, we can still withstand the Silver Fir Sect’s attack. You should have spent more time at home…” “Wouldn’t it be better to spend time with your parents?”
Chen Xian said with a smile, “Actually, it’s nothing. My parents are now members of the sect, which means they’ve both achieved immortality. So it doesn’t matter when I go back to be with them. There’s really nothing to worry about.”
Lu Yong nodded upon hearing Chen Xian’s words and then said, “That’s right. Anyway, they’re all members of the sect now, so it doesn’t matter when you go back. Okay, it’s good that you’re back. Tell the elders you’re back, and then prepare to complete today’s mission.”
Chen Xian responded, and then he first sent a letter to the elders, informing them that he had returned, and then went to complete today’s mission.
That night, Chen Xian was resting when suddenly a piercing alarm sounded. Chen Xian’s expression changed immediately, and he rushed out of his room. When he got outside, he saw that Lu Yong and the others had already come out. As soon as Lu Yong saw him, he nodded at him, and then they took off. Lu Yong then immediately called for his team to assemble, ready for battle at any time.
Chen Xian glanced into the market and found that all the array locations were protected. Startled, he immediately turned to Lu Yong and said, “The sect is putting on quite a show.” Lu Yong followed
Chen Xian’s gaze, then looked away and said, “It’s normal. The sect has seen countless things like this; there’s no need to make a fuss. But these guys from the Silver Fir Sect are quite interesting. Do they really think they can break our Eight Gates Golden Lock Array?”
Chen Xian glanced at the Silver Fir Sect members outside. He noticed that this time there seemed to be a few more than before, but not by much. Did the Silver Fir Sect really think they could take over the market with just this many people? Were they underestimating the Myriad Laws Divine Sect?
Just then, a longsword suddenly flew up from the crowd of the Silver Fir Sect. This longsword looked very strange; its blade wasn’t straight, but rather layered like tree branches, making it look less like a sword and more like a flattened tree.
The moment this sword was revealed, Lu Yong and the others’ expressions changed. It wasn’t that they recognized the sword, but rather that it possessed an incomparably powerful aura. That aura was truly astonishing, overwhelming everything. Although it was just a sword, the aura it exuded was in no way inferior to that of a Kingdom-level expert.
Seeing this, Lu Yong and the others knew what was going on. The people of the Silver Fir Sect also knew they couldn’t let their Kingdom-level experts fight, so they had unleashed their most powerful magical artifact. And a powerful magical artifact was indeed no less powerful than a Kingdom-level expert.
Such magical artifacts are usually used as the most treasured possessions of a sect and are not easily brought out. However, the fact that this artifact has been brought out means that the Silver Fir Sect truly intends to take over this market. Although this artifact cannot unleash its full power in the hands of a Royal Chariot-level expert, the flying sword should have no problem breaking through their defensive formation. Although they are using the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, the method of setting it up is the most common. Therefore, while the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation has decent defensive power, it cannot be too strong. Thus, the Silver Fir Sect might actually be able to break through their Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation with this flying sword.
The Silver Fir Sect has thus taken advantage of a loophole. The sect alliance forbade them to send experts to attack the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, so they brought out their most treasured possession. This doesn’t count as disobeying the sect alliance; they have achieved their goal.
After the Silver Fir Sect members unleashed their flying sword, it slashed down in a flash. Just as it struck, it suddenly grew larger, transforming into a massive metal tree that struck the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation. A deafening
boom followed, and the formation flashed before shattering. The residual force of the flying sword left a sword mark in the market, instantly killing several Blood Slaughter Sect disciples.
The flying sword then returned to the Silver Fir Sect’s formation, and the Silver Fir Sect members charged towards the market.
Seeing this, Lu Yong immediately shouted, “Everyone, engage!” His shout rang out, and everyone charged towards the Silver Fir Sect members. The two sides clashed, unleashing a barrage of attacks.
Both sides suffered casualties from time to time, but neither retreated. The Myriad Laws Sect had a considerable number of members in the market, though not as many as the Silver Fir Sect. The two sides fought evenly, neither able to gain the upper hand.
While attacking, the Silver Fir Sect sent a team to capture the teleportation array in the market, but the Myriad Laws Sect also sent troops to guard it. The two sides clashed repeatedly at the teleportation array. Just as the Silver Fir Sect was about to capture it, a flash of white light appeared on the array, and a team of Myriad Laws Sect members appeared inside. Upon seeing the two sides fighting at the teleportation array, they paused for a moment, then immediately rushed in, joining the battle and blocking the Silver Fir Sect’s attack.
Upon seeing this, the Silver Fir Sect members’ expressions changed. They hadn’t expected the Myriad Laws Sect members to be so persistent. They had assumed that the Myriad Laws Sect members, all rogue cultivators, could be easily routed if their numbers were large enough and their attacks fierce enough. After all, rogue cultivators prioritized survival. However, they hadn’t anticipated that the Myriad Laws Sect members would hold out until reinforcements arrived, which greatly surprised them.
Their first attack had almost crushed the Myriad Laws Sect members, only to be met with reinforcements. This time, the same thing happened, leaving the Silver Fir Sect members feeling extremely disappointed. However,
they didn’t retreat. They wanted to try attacking again, but unexpectedly, the next moment, reinforcements from the Myriad Laws Sect appeared again through the teleportation array. The Silver Fir Sect members had no choice but to accept their fate and retreated.
Once the Silver Fir Sect members had retreated, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect members finally breathed a sigh of relief. They then began rebuilding the market town, where many buildings had been destroyed.
Lu Yong and Chen Xian hadn’t died in this battle, but both were injured. In fact, not only them, but many disciples of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect were wounded; the number of disciples who died in this battle was quite significant.
Meanwhile, several elders of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect gathered around the sword mark, the mark left by the Silver Fir Sect’s most prized weapon. The elders’ expressions were grim as they looked at the sword mark.
An elder spoke up, “It’s truly unexpected that the Silver Fir Sect would possess such a magical artifact. Although it’s only used for a single strike, its power far surpasses that of an ordinary kingdom-level expert. What should we do if they use this artifact to attack us again?”
Several people remained silent for a while before one finally spoke, “If they use that flying sword to attack us again, we still won’t be able to withstand it unless we apply to the sect for a magical artifact of the same level. Otherwise, it’s impossible to stop that flying sword.”
“Applying to the sect for a magical artifact is possible, but if we do that, it’s tantamount to exposing the sect’s strength. I think the sect might not agree.”
“Let’s try applying to the sect for a magical artifact. See if they’ll agree. If they do, that would be ideal. If not, we’ll have to think of another way.”
Everyone nodded. Then an elder spoke up, “Let’s prepare for both scenarios. What if the sect disagrees? How will we deal with the Silver Fir Sect’s attack? We need to be prepared for that.”
Everyone nodded, then said, “Alright, let’s go back and discuss it. Let the disciples handle things here.” They all nodded and then turned to leave.
Lu Yong and the others returned to their courtyard. Their injuries were quickly treated, and they came out of their rooms and sat in the courtyard. Lu Yong’s expression was rather grim. He said in a deep voice, “I really didn’t expect those guys from the Silver Fir Sect to pull such a stunt. They’re clearly exploiting a weakness. If they use that magic weapon to attack again next time, our defensive array still won’t be able to hold them off. Those guys from the Silver Fir Sect are too much.”
Chen Xian sighed and said, “They’ve set a bad precedent. If they can do it, we can do it too. If both sides use these kinds of magic weapons to fight each other, it’s no different from a battle between kingdom-level experts.” “Goodbye. I don’t think the sect will swallow this bitter pill. They’ll definitely retaliate next time.”
Everyone nodded, agreeing that the Blood Slaughter Sect would indeed seek revenge. Lu Yong glanced at them and then said, “Regardless, we must be extra careful. You all saw how powerful that magical artifact was. Several sect disciples were killed just from the aftershocks of its power. If we were in their position, we’d be dead too. Next time you see them using such a magical artifact, stay far away.” Everyone nodded. They didn’t want to die. Although they could be resurrected, no one wanted to die.
