Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16353
Chapter 16351. Anomaly
Lu Li suddenly heard a whooshing sound, which startled him. He immediately held his breath and looked up at the sky, but there was nothing there. Lu Li was taken aback, but more and more whooshing sounds came, so he was sure he wasn’t mistaken.
Just then, a person flew over from the distant city wall. Lu Li recognized the person as a disciple of the Lu family who, like him, was monitoring the city wall. The disciple had already reached his side, and then whispered, “Did you hear that?” Lu Li nodded and
said, “I heard it, but I didn’t see anyone.”
The disciple said, “They might have used illusion magic or something.”
“Let’s go, enter the underground space immediately, and report back immediately.” After Lu Li finished speaking, he and the disciple went down from the city wall and flew straight to a room next to them, where there was an entrance to the underground space.
The main reason they dared to speak and act this way was because their area was covered by the magical artifact. From the outside, it appeared to be a forest, which gave them the confidence to proceed. They had tested it before; as long as they remained inside the artifact, no one outside could hear them, see what they were doing, or even sense their presence. No matter how much energy fluctuation they generated inside, no one outside could detect it.
Lu Li and his group quickly reached the underground space, where they discovered that the others who had been monitoring from the outside had also gone underground. Lu Li immediately reported this to Lu Lingguang.
Upon hearing their words, Lu Lingguang’s expression changed, and he immediately ordered, “Retreat immediately!” The Lu family members responded and began retreating into the passage. Lu Lingguang, however, wrote something on a jade slip and sent it to the Aristocratic Alliance. They needed to inform the Alliance of their discovery so they could prepare. The two families then retreated into the passage, sealing off the connection between the passage and the underground fortifications. Meanwhile,
Lü Xiaofang received the news and immediately informed Fang Wuwei. Upon hearing this, Fang Wuwei immediately sounded the alarm, and everyone prepared for battle.
They knew very well that the small towns were not far away; they could arrive quickly by air. Therefore, if the alarm sounded in the towns, they had to react immediately, or it would be too late.
Just as Fang Wuwei and his men were making preparations, countless people suddenly appeared in the sky only ten miles from Qingyuan City. There were people in all four directions; they had completely surrounded Qingyuan City.
Upon seeing these people, Fang Wuwei and his men’s expressions turned grim, because they discovered that the number of people surrounding them was no less than their own, and might even be greater.
Fang Wuwei immediately sent a letter to General Li, hoping he would come to their aid. However, when he sent the letter, General Li replied immediately, saying that he could not come to their aid because they were also surrounded.
Upon seeing General Li’s reply, Fang Wuwei’s expression darkened even more. He immediately summoned General Chang and Lü Xiaofang and said, “General Li cannot provide us with any support because they are also surrounded.”
General Chang and Lü Xiaofang’s expressions changed upon hearing this. They hadn’t expected that General Li’s forces were also surrounded; it seemed the enemy had gone to great lengths this time.
Fang Wuwei said in a deep voice, “Notify everyone to attack the enemy with magical artifacts. Since they don’t have any large magical artifacts, let ours use them to attack them with spells. Once they break through the defensive array of Qingyuan City, everyone should immediately enter the underground space. Haven’t they been using the underground space to fight us? Perfect, this time we’ll use the underground space to deal with them.”
General Chang and Lü Xiaofang both nodded. Then General Chang asked, “What about our large magical artifacts? Some of our large magical artifacts can’t be shrunk down and stored away.”
Fang Wuwei… Fang Wuwei said in a deep voice, “Let them use those large magical artifacts to break through. If they really can’t break through, just destroy those large magical artifacts. Haven’t you realized? The enemy’s goal this time is to leave us all here. This is their final offensive.”
General Chang’s expression changed slightly upon hearing Fang Wuwei’s words, but he ultimately remained silent. He knew perfectly well that Fang Wuwei was right. If they were only planning to repel them, they wouldn’t have attacked General Li’s position. Now that General Li’s position had also been attacked, it meant that the enemy wasn’t going to let them go.
Just then, the enemy outside the city suddenly changed. It was unclear how they had managed to create a protective shield around their army. They weren’t on the ground, and they didn’t have any large magical artifacts; they were simply forming an ordinary battle formation. Yet, this ordinary battle formation was now surrounded by a protective shield.
Fang Wuwei and the others were stunned by the sight, but what surprised them even more was what happened next. The protective shields surrounding those people slowly changed shape, transforming in the blink of an eye into the form of longswords.
Four enormous light-shielded longswords appeared outside Qingyuan City. Upon seeing this change, Fang Wuwei’s expression changed drastically. He immediately shouted, “All large magical artifacts, break through immediately! Everyone, enter the underground space, quickly!” His voice was trembling. General Chang and Lü Xiaofang immediately understood his meaning and gave the order as well.
The instant their orders were given, the four enormous light-shielded swords created by the enemy began to slowly retreat.
However, seeing the enemy retreat, Fang Wuwei and the others felt no joy; instead, their expressions became even more grim, because they were now certain that the enemy was about to attack them.
Just then, all of Fang Wuwei’s large magical artifacts flew out of Qingyuan City, heading straight towards the Divine Kingdom.
The people in Qingyuan City also all burrowed underground. Fang Wuwei and his men, however, did not leave with the large magical artifacts. They knew very well that if they left, their army would be finished, so they all stayed behind, their only goal being to protect the large magical artifacts.
The enemy, however, ignored the large magical artifacts. The four giant swords with their protective shields retreated about a hundred miles before stopping. Then, the giant swords charged straight towards Qingyuan City. Four loud booms followed as the defensive array of Qingyuan City was attacked four times in succession by the giant swords, and then shattered with a deafening roar.
At this time, most of the cultivators remaining in Qingyuan City had already burrowed underground; very few people remained on the surface. Fang Wuwei and his men remained in the city, but the moment they saw the protective shield break, they all burrowed underground as well.
Fang Wuwei and the others all looked extremely grim. They didn’t know how their opponents had done it, or what they had used. Could it be magic? They’d never heard of such magic. Could it be magical artifacts? They hadn’t seen any large magical artifacts, or even any magical artifacts at all. Could it be a magic array? But they were in the air; how could they set up a magic array in the air? So they truly didn’t know what the enemy had used.
But whatever the enemy had used, they had broken through their defensive array. Most importantly, the method the enemy used was completely capable of countering their large magical artifacts, and was even more advanced than the large magical artifacts they currently used.
After the enemy breached the protective barrier around Qingyuan City, one of them asked, “Have all their large magical artifacts left?”
His companion replied, “Yes, all thirty, not one missing.”
The man nodded and then said, “We can leave a few men with General Li, but leave none in Qingyuan City. We must show those sect alliances and aristocratic family alliances our power. Proceed according to plan.” His companion responded and immediately gave the order, while the man
himself didn’t move. He simply stood there, quietly watching Qingyuan City below. Fang Wuwei and his
men couldn’t possibly know that the so-called use of underground space to counter the Divine Kingdom’s attack was nothing but a trap. The Blood Slaughter Sect wouldn’t need an underground space to deal with them. The reason for this was to give the enemy false information, causing them to reinforce their forces, so that they could annihilate them in one fell swoop.
The enemy has already sent enough people. Although tens of millions of cultivators are nothing to the Divine Kingdom, and the Divine Kingdom’s available forces are no less than those of the Blood Slaughter Sect, they don’t expect the Divine Kingdom to send all of them at once. That’s impossible. In the Divine Kingdom’s view, they may pose a threat, but not to the point of destroying the Divine Kingdom. Therefore, the Divine Kingdom will only deploy a small portion of its forces to deal with them and will not send all of them.
This time, they didn’t go all out. They only used the Five Elements Dividing Light Realm. Their magic array hadn’t been used yet because their magic artifacts were reserved as Yang Hou’s trump card. It was too early to use them now. They used the Five Elements Dividing Light Realm, along with their army, to inflict more losses on the Divine Kingdom. Then the Divine Kingdom would send more people. Once the Divine Kingdom sent enough people, they would use their magic array to annihilate the enemy. This was the Blood Slaughter Sect’s plan. However, today was a major battle. They wanted to eliminate all the enemies in Qingyuan City, so Chang Jun personally came here to oversee the operation. The person who just gave the order was Chang Jun. In fact, Zhao Hai didn’t need to appear in a battle like this. Zhao Hai didn’t appear because there was no need. Chang Jun could handle it.
