Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16310
Chapter 16308 Retreat
“Stop!”
A furious roar rang out from outside the market. Everyone inside heard it and slowly stopped. Then, a member of the Silver Fir Sect stepped forward. This man appeared to be in his forties, tall and imposing, but his strength was only at the Royal Chariot level. He stood there, looking towards the market, and then said, “Listen up, people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect! If you agree to release all our people, then we agree to cede this market to you and will not attack it again.”
As he spoke, a tree-like flying sword appeared above his head, signaling to the Myriad Laws Divine Sect that he still possessed the power to break through their defensive formation.
Upon hearing this, the elder of the Myriad Laws Sect was taken aback. He glanced at the Silver Fir Sect member and asked, “Do you keep your word?” “
With so many people listening, a disciple of the Silver Fir Sect will certainly keep his word. If you disagree, then we’ll have no choice but to use our full strength,” the Silver Fir Sect member said, looking at the Myriad Laws Sect elder. The
Myriad Laws Sect elder gave him a deep look, then shouted, “Open the defensive formation!”
With his voice, a large gate in the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation slowly opened. The Myriad Laws Sect elder stood there, quietly watching the Silver Fir Sect members leave through the gate.
After the Silver Fir Sect disciples left the market, the leader of the Silver Fir Sect put away his flying sword and then flew away with his group.
After they left, the members of the Myriad Laws Sect finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, today’s situation was quite dangerous. They really hadn’t expected the Silver Fir Sect to use the tactic of occupying the teleportation array to cut off their reinforcements, and then even destroy the teleportation array itself. They didn’t want to expose too much, so they had no choice but to fight the Silver Fir Sect head-on. Fortunately, they had prepared a second layer of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array; otherwise, they would have been in real danger today, and might have had to abandon the market and flee.
After confirming that the Silver Fir Sect had left, the members of the Myriad Laws Sect began to clean up the market and repair all the damaged defenses.
The remaining rogue cultivators in the market were also relieved. The Silver Fir Sect had said they would abandon the market, which meant there would be no more fighting there, and they were safe—exactly what the rogue cultivators had hoped for.
As expected, the market remained safe for the next ten days. It seemed the Silver Fir Sect had decided not to attack the market again, which put the rogue cultivators at ease.
As the market gradually stabilized, the rogue cultivators who had left slowly returned. It’s important to know that the various markets hadn’t been peaceful recently. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect hadn’t just attacked this one market; they had attacked multiple markets simultaneously. Therefore, many markets were currently embroiled in conflict. Although there were many markets, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect wasn’t attacking markets belonging to the same sect, but rather markets belonging to different sects. This created the illusion that the Divine Kingdom was at war everywhere. However, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect wasn’t actually attacking many markets; it was simply because they were attacking different markets that the cultivators perceived it as a constant battle.
It was precisely because of this that those rogue cultivators who had left the market immediately returned upon hearing that it had officially fallen under the control of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. Those with shops in the market, in particular, returned at the first opportunity, fearing their shops would be confiscated. For many rogue cultivators, their shops were practically their lifeblood; they might leave temporarily to survive, but as long as the market was safe, they would return immediately.
After ten days of peace in the market, almost everyone who had left had returned. That very night, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect finally made its move. They sealed off the market with the Hidden Edge Formation, and then their army turned everyone in the market into the undead.
The rogue cultivators hadn’t expected the Myriad Laws Divine Church to suddenly attack them. Although they tried to resist, they were powerless, and in the end, they were all wiped out.
Overnight, everyone in the market town turned into undead. The next morning, the market town returned to normal, and no one could tell that the people had become undead.
Similar events occurred in many other places. Because the Myriad Laws Divine Church couldn’t use too many of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s methods, they failed to capture some markets, which were then taken back by other sects. However, they did capture some markets. Furthermore, the Myriad Laws Divine Church no longer deployed troops to attack multiple markets simultaneously, as this tactic was no longer viable.
The reason this tactic can no longer be used is because those sects have learned their lesson. The reason the Silver Fir Sect failed to capture the market the first time was because they didn’t go all out when they first tried to seize it; they only tested the waters. The second time, they didn’t go all out either. It can be said that they weren’t determined to take back the market even at great cost. So they gave the Myriad Laws Divine Sect an opportunity, allowing them to defend the market with only a small force. The third time, they were determined, but it was too late. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect directly closed the door and beat the dog, making the Silver Fir Sect hesitant to act. In the end, the Silver Fir Sect had no choice but to retreat.
However, the cultivators who followed were completely different. They knew that such probing attacks would only give the Myriad Laws Divine Sect an opportunity to easily defend the market. Therefore, they decided not to give the Myriad Laws Divine Sect any more chances and went all out from the start to seize the market in one fell swoop. This tactic proved very effective. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect tried to divide their forces for defense as before, but due to insufficient troops, the other sects seized the market in one fell swoop.
Having lost, they had to accept it. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect didn’t try to seize that market again, but instead continued to recruit. The next time they attacked that market, they directly dispatched a large army to capture it in one fell swoop, then heavily guarded it. Moreover, as soon as they captured a market, they immediately sent people to build two or even three layers of defensive formations there, increasing the difficulty for the other sects to retake it.
As a result, the Myriad Laws Cult had to pay a huge price for every market it seized. But the strange thing is that such losses did not reduce their numbers; on the contrary, their numbers increased.
The aristocratic families and the royal family had been watching the conflict between the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and the various sects. Although neither sect had deployed its top experts, the losses among its disciples were considerable. Therefore, the aristocratic families and the royal family remained silent. They didn’t actually want a full-scale war between the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and the sects, as that would plunge the Divine Kingdom into chaos again. The Divine Kingdom had already been chaotic enough. This conflict between the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and the Divine Kingdom was only a localized conflict, involving only low-level disciples on a small scale, and had little impact on the Divine Kingdom. In fact, it was a good thing for the aristocratic families and the royal family, because their main businesses were located in the cities. The conflict between the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and the sects was taking place in the markets. Chaos in the markets would draw many rogue cultivators to the cities to make a living, thus increasing the income of the aristocratic families and the royal family. Therefore, the royal family and the aristocratic families were happy to see the conflict between the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and the sects.
For the royal family, although the conflict between the Myriad Laws Sect and the sects involved only ordinary disciples and seemed small in scale, it was actually a good thing. Regardless, the longer the conflict between the sects and the Myriad Laws Sect lasted, the deeper their enmity would become, which was advantageous to the royal family.
As for the aristocratic families, they were also happy to see this situation. From any perspective, the Myriad Laws Sect was a formidable opponent, and if they were to truly clash with such an adversary, their losses would be significant. Therefore, they were naturally pleased that the Myriad Laws Sect had now set its sights on the sects.
This is the current situation in the Divine Kingdom. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect and various sects are constantly fighting over the markets, but the scale is not very large, and no experts have been sent to intervene. The aristocratic families and the royal family are fine and continue to develop peacefully. What they don’t know is that all the garrison cities outside the Divine Kingdom have become part of the Blood Slaughter Sect, and nearly a third of the sects within the Divine Kingdom have also become part of the Blood Slaughter Sect. Of course, there are no large sects among these sects, but the number is already quite astonishing.
The main reason the Blood Slaughter Sect hasn’t attacked the major sects is their fear of unforeseen circumstances. They plan to first take down the smaller sects, then the stronger ones, and finally the major ones. Previous events have shown the Blood Slaughter Sect the formidable strength of the major sects, each possessing a powerful treasure. These magical artifacts are incredibly potent, and they must be extremely cautious and well-prepared before attacking. Otherwise, news of their plans could easily leak out. Once leaked, everyone in the Divine Kingdom would know that a force is annexing those sects, which would undoubtedly attract widespread attention. Despite the
apparent animosity among the various factions within the Divine Kingdom, if an external enemy were to appear, all forces would unite against it. While the various factions may have their own conflicts, one crucial point remains: the Divine Kingdom and the royal family still exist. This is of paramount importance.
