Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16328

Chapter 16326 Discovery

“How’s the investigation going?”

“It’s started, but the situation isn’t good. Several small sects—the rogue cultivators they captured and their own disciples—have all committed suicide. And after their deaths, they even self-destructed their souls. We can’t find anything. By our previous standards, all these sects are problematic.”

“Make a note of all these sects. We’ll prepare for action.”

“Yes, Sect Master.”

The sect master of a large sect listened to his subordinate’s report with a grim expression. He truly hadn’t expected this; several of their sects had problems.

Just then, Qingxuan’s letter arrived, summoning him to a meeting. Soon, the sect master went directly to the Tianxuan Sect, wanting to know the situation in the other sects.

When he arrived at the Tianxuan Sect, he found several sect masters already there, but their expressions were grim. Seeing their expressions, he didn’t speak. He wanted to hear exactly how many sects’ subordinates were problematic.

Soon, all the sect leaders from the other sects arrived. After they all arrived, Qingxuan also arrived. He sat in the main seat, glanced at everyone, and then said, “Everyone, seven days have passed since we started our investigation. In these seven days, you should have investigated many sects, right? So, everyone, tell me, what are the results?”

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke. Then Qingxuan said, “Let me first talk about the situation here in our Tianxuan Sect Alliance. We have no problems here. We’ve arrested all the rogue cultivators and disciples from all the sects under the Tianxuan Sect’s jurisdiction, interrogated them, and even conducted soul searches. They all have no problems.”

His words made some of the people’s faces even more pale . The situation was dire, but one group remained unmoved. Then, one of the sect leaders spoke up: “At this point, there’s no point in hiding anything. I’ll be frank with everyone. We’ve run into trouble. Almost all the smaller sects in our alliance, except for our own, are in trouble. All the rogue cultivators and disciples from those sects committed suicide immediately after we captured them, their souls even self-destructing. We haven’t been able to extract anything from them, but that’s the biggest problem. Knowing it was us, they still did this, which means they’re hiding something. Now, in our alliance, every sect except our own has problems.” His face was so dark it seemed like it could drip water.

His words immediately changed everyone’s expressions. Another sect leader chimed in: “We’re in the same boat. Now, only our sect is left without problems in our alliance. All the other sects have run into trouble.”

Several other sect leaders also reported problems within their alliances, making Qingxuan and the others’ faces turn extremely grim.

Just then, a sect leader spoke up: “While the situation there isn’t as severe, problems have still arisen. At least two-thirds of the sects there are experiencing issues.”

“Me too, about half of the sects there are in trouble.”

“Me too, two-thirds of the sects there are in trouble.”

“We had about a third of the sects in trouble.”

After all the sect leaders had finished speaking, Qingxuan and the others’ expressions turned extremely grim. Qingxuan looked at everyone and said, “Let’s gather together and do a count to see how many sects are affected.”

Everyone nodded, and they immediately began the count. The result was that at least a third of the small and medium-sized sects were now in trouble, which shocked everyone, and their faces turned incredibly pale.

Qingxuan looked at everyone with a grim expression, then said, “I really didn’t expect so many sects to have problems. Let’s all talk about what we should do next.”

Everyone fell silent. To be honest, the number of sects in trouble exceeded their expectations. Now they really didn’t know what to do. If they were to actually take action against those sects, it might trigger a major war, which would cause too much of a commotion. The royal family and aristocratic families might get involved, making things even more complicated. That’s why they were so troubled.

Just then, Qingxuan suddenly moved his hand, and a jade slip appeared in his hand. He scanned the jade slip with his spiritual power, then turned to look at everyone and said, “His Majesty summoned me, and I must go and see. You all wait here for me. After I return, we will discuss this properly. While I am away, you can discuss it. Sect Leader Wen, you will preside over this.” After saying this, Qingxuan stood up, bowed to everyone, and then turned and left. Wen Jing responded, and after Qingxuan left, Wen Ying immediately discussed the next steps with everyone.

Meanwhile, Qingxuan had already arrived in Wukong City. He quickly went to Gongliang Juewen’s study. When he was led into the study by a eunuch, he saw Wan Hai. Qingxuan bowed to Gongliang Juewen and then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wan Hai, who returned the salute. After Gongliang Juewen had a chair brought to him, he asked, “Sect Master Qingxuan, what are the results of your investigation?” Qingxuan’s expression was

somewhat grim. He said in a deep voice, “We have investigated, and at least one-third of the small and medium-sized sects have problems. This number is quite alarming. We are currently considering what to do next.

” Upon hearing this, Hai couldn’t help but look up at him. Gongliang Juewen’s expression darkened further after hearing his words. He said in a deep voice, “Patriarch Wan just reported to me that there are also problems among the aristocratic families. Many smaller aristocratic families are also in trouble, accounting for about a third of all the aristocratic families.”

Hearing this, Qingxuan’s face immediately turned grim. He turned to look at Wan Hai, who nodded. Gongliang Juewen then said, “Follow me.” He stood up and walked out. The two quickly stood up and followed Gongliang Juewen.

Soon they arrived at a side hall. Upon entering, Gongliang Juewen said to the eunuch guarding the hall, “Bring it out.” The eunuch responded and walked to a corner of the hall, gently turning a flower stand. As he did so, the floor of the hall began to shrink to both sides, and a huge table slowly emerged from the ground.

Once the table appeared, Wan Hai and Qingxuan could see clearly that it was a massive three-dimensional sand table. This sand table was enormous, almost taking up the entire side hall. Wan Hai and Qingxuan stared at the sand table.

Gongliang Juewen looked at the two dumbfounded men and then said, “Take a look at this sand table. I had it made a few years ago. Now, mark the sects and families that have run into trouble on this sand table.”

The two men were taken aback, then they responded in unison. They began to mark the locations of the sects and families on the sand table, but they quickly discovered a problem. Most of the sects and families they marked overlapped. As they marked more and more, their expressions became increasingly grim. They found that the marked locations occupied a large area, and in that area, almost all the sects and families had run into trouble. This was no longer just a simple problem; it was a situation where they were about to be enfeoffed as kings.

After the two finished marking the locations, all three men’s expressions turned grim. Gongliang Juewen stared intently at the marked areas, then looked up at the two and said, “This isn’t just a simple matter of dealing with us; they want to completely overthrow our divine kingdom.”

The two men nodded. Gongliang Juewen’s gaze returned to the sand table, and he continued, “Now they occupy such a large area. If we try to move against them, we might run into problems.”

At this moment, Wan Hai suddenly spoke up, “Your Majesty, there’s another problem.”

Gongliang Juewen looked at Wan Hai and asked, “What problem?”

Wan Hai looked… Gongliang Juewen said, “Your Majesty, look at this area. The earliest temple of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was built in this area, and all the temples they developed before were also in this area. Their temples and this area are highly overlapping.”

Upon hearing this, Gongliang Juewen’s expression changed drastically. He immediately looked at the sand table, and after a while, he raised his head with a livid face, looking at Wan Hai and Qing Xuan, and said, “You’re right, it is indeed this area. Damn it, you two go back immediately and unite all the families and sects that are not involved in the problem as quickly as possible to form an alliance.” “Then send a large army to this area and deploy them in the cities and sects here to block their advance. If I’m not mistaken, they’ve already begun to make moves.”

Wan Hai and Qing Xuan’s expressions changed. They looked at Gongliang Juewen in confusion, wondering why he said that. Gongliang Juewen glanced at the two of them, then smiled bitterly and said, “This matter is also my fault. After listening to Sect Master Qing Xuan’s words, I was worried that something might really go wrong, so I gave General Li an order and also summoned Zhao Hai to prepare for battle.” “If the Myriad Laws Cult truly has problems, then they would definitely be prepared after listening to me. The fundamental reason they haven’t made any moves for so many days is probably because they’ve been preparing. We’re already a step behind them; we must hurry and act.”

Qingxuan and Wan Hai’s expressions both changed. At this moment, Gongliang Juewen spoke up: “Someone, send a letter to Zhao Hai, telling him to come see me immediately. I want to see if he dares to come.” Qingxuan and Wan Hai immediately understood his meaning. If the Myriad Laws Cult truly had problems, then Zhao Hai would absolutely not dare to come see Gongliang Juewen now.
