Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16335

Chapter 16333: A Second Move

Such is the nature of ordinary people. Before the tides of history, they are truly nothing. Some say that a speck of dust in the era, falling upon one person, becomes a mountain. The Lu family is no exception. They may seem like a family with some status, but in the face of the grand scheme of things, they are truly nothing.

The Lu family patriarch returned to the family compound with a grim expression. Upon his return, he immediately summoned all the Lu family’s stewards to the council hall.

Soon, everyone from the Lu family arrived. Seeing that everyone was there, the patriarch spoke, “I just received news from the city lord that His Majesty has decided to abandon our city. Everyone in the city must relocate to the rear.”

Hearing this, the Lu family members’ faces changed drastically, followed by an uproar. They never expected the Divine Kingdom to make such a decision.

However, they quickly noticed the expression on the Lu family patriarch’s face, and their voices gradually quieted down. The Lu family patriarch looked at them and coldly snorted, “What kind of behavior is this? You haven’t even finished hearing the story, and you’re already making a racket. You have no composure whatsoever.”

The Lu family members all lowered their heads, not daring to speak. Looking at them, the Lu family patriarch continued, “Those ordinary people have reached safe places in the rear, but we can’t. Although His Majesty has abandoned small towns like ours, some large cities and major sects haven’t been abandoned. Those places have become…” “They’ve driven in nails one by one, ready to hammer them in. We’ll be sent to the satellite cities surrounding the major sects and cities, to garrison there. If the enemy comes, we’ll report to those major cities or sects.”

The Lu family members’ faces changed instantly. They opened their mouths, about to speak, but suddenly remembered their ancestor’s words, and none dared to utter a sound. They weren’t fools; they understood perfectly what this garrisoning meant. They were the kind of sentries placed in the open, the first to be eliminated when the enemy arrived. They were cannon fodder.

Seeing their reaction, the Lu family patriarch nodded in satisfaction. He then said, “I know what you’re thinking. You’re right. We’re just cannon fodder, and we can’t escape now. All the teleportation arrays in the city are no longer usable, and the army has sealed off the city. No one will be allowed to leave.”

The Lu family members’ faces changed completely. They knew all too well what this meant. It meant they had no chance. They had no chance to leave the city. The Lu family was probably doomed. So, they all looked ashen-faced, their eyes filled with only bewilderment.

Looking at their expressions, the Lu family patriarch sneered and said, “Things aren’t hopeless yet. I have a backup plan, but I can’t tell you now. I’ll tell you after we reach the camp. Go back immediately and pack up everything you can take from the family. Once the orders come down, we’ll set off immediately.”

Upon hearing this, the group was initially stunned, but then they immediately became excited. They all responded and went to prepare.

The Lu family patriarch watched their retreating figures, a struggle flashing across his face, which ultimately turned into a frenzied expression. He muttered, “Since we’re all going to die anyway, might as well take a gamble.” With that, the Lu family patriarch turned and went back to his room.

On the third day, the City Lord’s Mansion once again sent someone to invite the Lu family patriarch to a meeting. The Lu family patriarch knew this must be an order from above, and he immediately went to the City Lord’s Mansion. Sure enough, the order had arrived: the Lu family had been assigned to a new garrison. This garrison was originally a market town, but all the people there had been evacuated,

and the Lu family was to be stationed there. This market town was relatively close to a major sect and not far from a large city; it was situated between the sect and the city, serving as an early warning point—essentially a beacon tower.

The Lu family patriarch accepted the order immediately, returned to the Lu family, and led his people on their journey. The teleportation array had already been set up with the coordinates, and the Lu

family members boarded it and were immediately transported to the market town. This market town wasn’t very large, with only a little over a hundred houses in total. It was surrounded by walls, with many houses outside the walls and shops inside. It seemed quite bustling before, but now it was deserted.

It can’t be said that there’s no one here. There is one person in this market. He’s dressed in a black samurai outfit, and it’s impossible to tell what his identity is. As soon as he saw the Lu family members appear, he immediately walked over, glanced at them, and finally fixed his gaze on the Lu family patriarch. He then said, “Lu Lingguang?”

The Lu family patriarch replied, “That’s me.”

The man nodded and said, “The Lu family is ordered to guard this place. No member of the Lu family is allowed to leave the market area. At the same time, every hour, you must use these two communication arrays to report that you are safe and sound. If you fail to report, you will be punished.” As he spoke, the man took out two communication arrays and handed them to Lu Linguang.

Lu Lingguang quickly accepted the two communication arrays, then bowed to the man and said, “Yes, I understand.”

The man nodded and said, “If you complete this mission well, your Lu family will prosper after this is over. Do a good job, and remember to report your safety every hour. Don’t miss a report.”

Lu Lingguang responded, and the man nodded. Then he flew up and headed away into the distance. Lu Lingguang glanced at the situation and then turned to the Lu family members, saying, “Find a place to settle down immediately. We’ll probably be living here for a while.” The

Lu family members immediately responded and went to find a place to settle down. There were quite a few Lu family members, so it was impossible for them all to be teleported over at once. It took three teleportations to complete the process.

When the last group of Lu family members arrived, they noticed a cultivator had accompanied them. Assuming the cultivator had business with them, they didn’t ask further. After they arrived at the market town, the cultivator waited until everyone from the Lu family had exited the teleportation array, then placed something inside and teleported away. Just as the Lu family was

puzzled, the teleportation array exploded with a loud bang, destroying the entire array. The Lu family then realized that the cultivator had come specifically to destroy the teleportation array.

They immediately checked the other teleportation arrays in the market town and found they were already destroyed. This meant that if they wanted to leave the market town, they could only do so by flying; they couldn’t leave using the teleportation array.

The Lu family immediately relayed the news to Lu Lingguang. Lu Lingguang didn’t say anything, just nodded and said, “I understand. Go down. Remember, keep an eye on everyone in the family. No one should leave the market area. If I’m not mistaken, there are definitely other sentries around the market area to monitor us. If anyone in our family leaves, they will report it immediately. Then our Lu family will be finished. Staying might mean a slim chance of survival, but leaving means certain death. Do you understand?”

The Lu family members’ expressions all changed. Some of them had previously considered letting some family members escape, but now, hearing Lu Lingguang’s words, they knew they couldn’t let anyone leave.

The Lu family quickly settled in the market. Lu Lingguang then summoned all the Lu family’s stewards. Once everyone was present, Lu Lingguang looked at them and said, “As I said before, I have a backup plan. Although it’s nothing extraordinary, it’s enough to put up a fight.” The Lu family members

all looked at Lu Lingguang with hopeful eyes. Lu Lingguang looked at them, then gestured with his hand and said, “My backup plan is this.” The next moment, a statue appeared before them. Upon seeing the statue, their expressions changed drastically, for it was none other than a statue of the God of Creation. The

God of Creation Cult used to be a divine cult, but now they had been destroyed, and the destruction was led by the royal family. This meant that the God of Creation Cult was now an illegal organization. If the Divine Kingdom knew that members of the God of Creation Cult were still present, they would certainly be wiped out.

If the higher-ups knew they had a statue of the God of Creation here, the Lu family would be finished. Therefore, the Lu family members’ expressions changed drastically upon seeing the statue.

Looking at their reactions, Lu Lingguang continued, “Few people know that I used to be friends with a bishop of the Church of Creation. He tried to get me to join, but I refused. This statue of the God of Creation was a gift from him. Later, the Church of Creation ran into trouble, and he died, but I didn’t throw it away; I kept it. In my opinion, the Church of Creation didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just that the royal family no longer needed them, so they wanted to eliminate them. Therefore, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the Church of Creation.”

The Lu family members remained silent, still staring at the statue. Looking at their expressions, Lu Lingguang continued, “Why did the Church of Creation…” “They will be eliminated by the royal family for three reasons. First, their strength is too great, making the royal family feel threatened. Second, the emergence of the Myriad Laws Sect has made the royal family feel that a force has emerged to replace the Creation Sect, so they must be eliminated. Third, the Creation Sect made a mistake: they mass-produced a group of kingdom-level experts. This is a capability of the Creation Sect that no other force possesses, and it is the capability that the royal family fears most. The Creation Sect’s use of this capability has crossed the royal family’s bottom line, so the royal family must eliminate them. For the Lu family now, however, this is an opportunity, their only chance to survive.” At this point, Lu Lingguang glanced at the Lu family members. (End of Chapter)
