Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16364

Chapter 16362. Inspection

Although Gongliang Juewen was the king of the Divine Kingdom and enjoyed abundant cultivation resources, his cultivation conditions were far superior to those of ordinary cultivators there. However, after entering the Blood Slaughter Sect, he realized what true cultivation conditions were.

In the Blood Slaughter Sect, everyone could cultivate the most suitable techniques for them, had endless resources, and most importantly, could be resurrected—conditions he had never dared to dream of before. Because of this, he always felt that being an ordinary elder in the Blood Slaughter Sect wouldn’t be a problem, let alone now that he was Wen Wenhai’s disciple, reaching a height that many elders of the Blood Slaughter Sect couldn’t achieve. When

Gongliang Juewen returned to the Divine Kingdom, his mindset had completely changed. He first tried to cultivate using the power he had been taught by Wen Wenhai, imagining it as a force. Wen Wenhai had already taught him the method of transformation; his first step was to comprehend the laws of power.

For others, comprehending the laws of power might be incredibly difficult, but for Gongliang Juewen, it was truly effortless. As the emperor of the divine kingdom, he naturally understood what power was, making its principles readily accessible to him.

In Gongliang Juewen’s view, power is a balancing act; it’s about achieving equilibrium among all parties and then using that equilibrium to do what one desires.

Of course, everyone’s understanding of power differs, and Gongliang Juewen’s understanding differs from Wen Wenhai’s. Because of this, their comprehensions of the laws of power are also different. The same law, interpreted differently by different people—a truth everyone understands.

While Gongliang Juewen was comprehending the cultivation technique, changes occurred at the front lines. General Li summoned Shi Yong and Xu Zhengqing to his room. Once they arrived, General Li asked them, “You two should have received the notification from above, right? What do you think of the arrangements?”

The two were silent for a moment, then Shi Yong spoke up, “The higher-ups agreed to send people to us so we could attack the enemy. What else is there to say? Let’s attack! They’ve already finalized the plan, and frankly, I think it’s feasible.”

General Li nodded in agreement and said, “An attack is definitely necessary, but we must figure out how to arrange our defenses. After these few battles with the enemy, I’ve realized that the enemy we’re facing now is very vengeful. If we really succeed this time…” “If their people are captured, they will definitely retaliate. Have you thought about how we should deal with their retaliation?”

Xu Zhengqing said, “Our defenses have already been set up. Even if they want to retaliate, it will be very difficult for them. If we can withstand their first attack, we can withstand their second. I don’t think we have anything to worry about in that regard.”

General Li said in a deep voice, “I also know that our defenses are well arranged, but we must make some adjustments. This time, the defenses must also be well arranged. We must be wary of a situation where we are attacking the enemy, and the enemy turns around and attacks us. This situation is not impossible.”

The two men were stunned by General Li’s words, but then they both nodded, feeling that what General Li said made sense. Their defenses did indeed need to be well arranged.

General Li glanced at the two men and then asked, “What are your thoughts on the arrangements at the front?”

The two men looked at each other and then shook their heads. Shi Yong said, “I think our defenses here are already quite good; no further arrangements are needed.”

General Li thought for a moment and then said, “How about this: after we return, we’ll immediately send trusted men to secretly check out those strongholds. Remember, they must go at night to see if the people at those strongholds can detect us. This way, we’ll know if the people at those strongholds are effective.”

Hearing this, Shi Yong and Xu Zhengqing both nodded. Xu Zhengqing said, “Okay, going to check is no problem; it’ll be a good opportunity to inspect.”

Shi Yong also said, “But…” “Yes, there was a small family from our area who escaped from the enemy. They were very careful, spotted the enemy early, and everyone hid, which saved them from disaster. They even sent us a message. It’s a pity Elder Lü and the others couldn’t return.”

General Li said, “That’s how it should be. We assigned them to guard those places so they could spot the enemy early, not to send them to their deaths. If they had been more vigilant, they would have had a good chance of survival. This time, we’ll observe those strongholds from the enemy’s perspective and see if they’ve fulfilled their intended purpose.”

Both men nodded and said, “Okay, we’ll make the arrangements when we get back.”

General Li nodded and then said, “This time, the higher-ups will be sending a lot of people, so we must make proper arrangements for their accommodation. We can’t have them arrive without a place to stay, can we? The underground space needs to be expanded, and all the rooms above ground must be utilized. You can handle the arrangements.”

The two men responded, and then the three discussed their next steps. Only then did Shi Yong and Xu Zhengqing leave Huyang City and return to their garrison.

As soon as Shi Yong returned to Wuwei City, he immediately summoned several of his trusted subordinates, all members of the Shi family and extremely loyal to him.

After they arrived, Shi Yong immediately said to them, “I have a task for you. Tonight, sneak into those strongholds and check the situation. See if the people there can spot you. If they do, reveal your identities. If they can’t, retreat immediately.” They

all responded. One of them asked, “Fifth Uncle, do we need to sneak in secretly, like real enemies?”

Shi Yong nodded, “Yes, exactly. Be careful.”

They all agreed and turned to leave. Just as they were about to go, Shi Yong suddenly said, “By the way, this operation will be commanded by Shi Yan. You all need to listen to Shi Yan.” They all agreed, and Shi Yong then let them leave.

After they left, Shi Yong went to attend to other matters; for him, this was nothing special.

Shi Yan and his group left Wuwei City directly, flying towards a stronghold. The others had no objections to Shi Yan taking command; he was the oldest, strongest, and most meticulous among them, and he took good care of them. They were happy to have him in charge. It

was already dark when they emerged, and they cautiously made their way to the first stronghold. Even after they reached the outside, the people inside remained unaware of their presence. Without alerting them

, Shi Yan and his group left. They then went to a second stronghold, where they were also undetected. This disappointed them; the people there were far too careless. If the enemy were to infiltrate, they wouldn’t be able to detect them, allowing the enemy to easily destroy the strongholds and launch a direct attack on Wuwei City. Most importantly, Wuwei City might be completely unprepared, which would be terrifying.

After visiting several outposts, Shi Yan’s expression grew increasingly grim. They flew towards the next outpost, but after flying for quite some time, they still couldn’t find it. This made Shi Yan frown. He stopped, looked around, and said, “Something’s not right. There should be an outpost here. Why haven’t we seen it yet?”

The others were also taken aback. They looked around, but indeed, they couldn’t find any outpost. One of them frowned and said, “We haven’t reached our destination yet, have we? This outpost seems to be a market town, but look around, it’s all forest.” “We just haven’t arrived yet.”

Shi Yan carefully looked around, then shook his head and said, “No, look at the terrain around here. It’s very similar to the terrain of that market town on the map. Logically, that market town should be nearby, but we haven’t seen it. This is definitely not normal.”

The others were all surprised to hear this. They looked around carefully and indeed found nothing. Shi Yan also looked around carefully and then said, “No, let’s go down and enter the forest. We’ll slowly explore the surroundings. I suspect the people at this stronghold used an illusion array.” The others nodded in agreement, and then they descended from the sky.

After they landed in the forest, Shi Yan immediately said, “Carefully explore the surroundings. If you find anything amiss, retreat immediately. We’ll meet here in 15 minutes.” The others all responded, and then they began to explore the surroundings.

Shi Yan flew slowly forward, carefully observing his surroundings as he went. Suddenly, he frowned and stopped. He sensed something was amiss; the surroundings were too quiet, and the plants seemed strange, though he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. However, this was enough to alert him. He carefully examined the plants around him, and suddenly his eyes narrowed sharply as he noticed the plant beneath his feet—this plant was odd. (End of Chapter)
