Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16382
Chapter 16380: The Sect’s Most Precious Treasure
His words stunned everyone. Then Gongliang Juewen asked, “What do you mean? Do you think they dare to cross our defenses and directly attack our territory?”
The minister replied, “That is indeed possible. Our first line of defense no longer has any large magical artifacts to stop theirs. At that point, they can easily cross our first line of defense and penetrate deep into our territory. They don’t need to worry about our people attacking them from behind. Even if our people attack them from behind, they can use their large magical artifacts to retreat calmly. As long as they don’t send too many people and no one stays outside the large magical artifacts, their attack will be much more relaxed. They can attack when they want and leave when they want. Although we…” “We could use kingdom-level experts to deal with their large magical artifacts, but that would result in enormous losses for us. They might even dare to penetrate deep into our territory and attack us. Therefore, in my opinion, we must find a way to break through their large magical artifacts; otherwise, we will remain in a passive position.”
Qingxuan and the others initially listened to the minister with furrowed brows, but after hearing his words, they all nodded unconsciously. The minister was right. They didn’t have enough large magical artifacts to counter the Blood Slaughter Sect’s large magical artifacts. Most importantly, the Blood Slaughter Sect possessed transforming shields that could deal with large magical artifacts and even directly confront kingdom-level experts. If they couldn’t deal with these, they would indeed remain passive.
Gongliang Juewen frowned at this moment, then asked, “Does my esteemed minister have any ideas?”
The minister replied in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, my method is the one we devised before: using a sect-protecting treasure-level magic weapon to deal with the Blood Slaughter Sect’s large magic weapons and their transforming protective shields. If Your Majesty is concerned about the safety of those magic weapons, we can require that the person using the magic weapon be protected. That is, we can send a small team of kingdom-level experts to act together, with one person using the sect-protecting treasure-level magic weapon, and the other kingdom-level experts protecting that person. This should ensure the safety of the magic weapon.”
Gongliang Juewen nodded. He had previously stopped this matter because they still had large magic weapons at the time, but now it would be unreasonable to oppose it. In fact, the minister’s suggestion was made by him, because he knew very well that if he didn’t bring it up, Qingxuan and the others would bring it up later. It was better for them to bring it up proactively.
As expected, Qingxuan and the others nodded in agreement after hearing the minister’s words. Gongliang Juewen glanced at them and then asked, “What do you think of this proposal, my esteemed ministers?”
Qingxuan and Wanfa all nodded. They were well aware that the minister’s proposal was correct. If they didn’t find a way to deal with the Blood Slaughter Sect’s large magical artifacts, their sects and families would be in danger. Although their families and sects were all located in the heart of the Divine Kingdom and seemed safe now, if the Blood Slaughter Sect’s large magical artifacts were to actually penetrate into the heart of the Divine Kingdom, they would be in grave danger. Therefore, they had to devise a way to counter the Blood Slaughter Sect’s large magical artifacts.
Qingxuan said, “Lord Cheng’s proposal is excellent; I second it.” Wanhai also responded, seconding it as well.
Gongliang Juewen spoke up, “Alright, everyone agrees, so this matter is settled. However, how to use those magical artifacts is also a problem. What do you all think?”
Wan Hai then spoke up, “Your Majesty, I believe we must establish a second line of defense.” He
paused for a moment, then continued, “Your Majesty, I think we must establish two lines of defense. The first line of defense has already been built, but the second line is not yet completed. I think it is necessary for us to build a second line of defense. Once it is built, if the Blood Slaughter Sect really manages to invade our territory…” “We can also use a second line of defense to block their attack. Meanwhile, our magical artifacts should be allocated to both the first and second lines. If necessary, we can let the enemy in, then have those on the first line attack them from behind, while the second line attacks them from the front. After all, dealing with them using sect-level treasures is quite easy, and those artifacts are more flexible and versatile.” Gongliang Juewen
nodded, then turned to look at the others and asked, “What do you think?”
“I second that.” “I second that.”…
Seeing that everyone agreed, Gongliang Juewen nodded and said, “Alright, then it’s settled. Everyone, let’s discuss where we should build the second line of defense. Someone, bring a map.” Immediately, a eunuch brought a map.
After the eunuch opened the map, Gongliang Juewen pointed to it and said, “Everyone, take a look. Where should we build the second line of defense?”
Everyone stared at the map for a while before Qingxuan spoke, “I think we can build the second line of defense along the Jianlin Mountain line. The terrain there is extremely treacherous, and the mountain ranges, primarily Jianlin Mountain and Cangwu Mountain, form a horizontal line. Most importantly, there are several major sects within these mountain ranges, and behind them, several large cities. If we build the second line of defense around these major sects and cities, it should be able to withstand the enemy’s attack.”
Everyone nodded as they looked at the line Qingxuan had drawn. The line wasn’t straight, and the mountain ranges weren’t connected, but it was fair to say they were on the same line. Therefore, forming a defensive line using these mountain ranges was indeed feasible.
Moreover, just as Qingxuan said, there are several major sects in the mountain ranges along this line, and behind the mountains, there are several large cities. The main halls of the major sects have very strong defenses. As for the large cities, the presence of large cities means the presence of large families. It is absolutely no problem to establish a defensive line using these large cities and the main halls of the major sects as bases.
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Qingxuan’s suggestion. Gongliang Juewen carefully examined the defensive line, then nodded and said, “Establishing a second defensive line here is indeed feasible. Do any of you ministers have any objections?” Everyone shook their
heads, then simultaneously said, “We have no objections.”
Gongliang Juewen nodded and said, “Good, it’s settled then. This time, the royal family is willing to provide fifty treasure-level magic artifacts; the rest is up to you.”
Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen’s words, Qingxuan and the others’ expressions changed drastically. They immediately understood that the royal family had truly gone all out this time; fifty treasure-level magic artifacts would likely have emptied their coffers.
They had no idea that the royal family could have as many magical artifacts as they wanted. Of course, most of the artifacts they brought out were the same type. The reason Gongliang Juewen proposed using a sect-treasured artifact against the Blood Slaughter Sect was mainly for the Blood Slaughter Sect’s benefit. They wanted to obtain those artifacts. The Blood Slaughter Sect wouldn’t even look at ordinary artifacts; only artifacts of this level would catch their eye. If the Blood Slaughter Sect wanted to equip all its disciples with such artifacts, it would need many different kinds. Such high-level artifacts were usually the secret treasures of various sects, and they wouldn’t use them easily. They had to find a way to get them to use these artifacts, ideally by having the Blood Slaughter Sect snatch them away. That way, the Blood Slaughter Sect would also have such artifacts, and then they could distribute them to all their disciples.
Gongliang Juewen was aware of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s current plan, so he directly had it presented. He also brought out fifty of the royal family’s most treasured artifacts. In fact, the royal family possessed over a hundred such treasures, but bringing out fifty at once was already quite remarkable. If he brought out too many, it would arouse Qingxuan and the others’ suspicion. These royal artifacts had actually been handed over to the Blood Slaughter Sect long ago, but after the sect placed them into the Reality Illusion, they were returned to the royal family. That’s why Gongliang Juewen was able to bring them out. Qingxuan
and the others didn’t specify how many artifacts they would bring out, but one thing was certain: they couldn’t bring out too few. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the royal family, and Gongliang Juewen might punish them in the future.
Afterwards, the group discussed the details of the operation, and Gongliang Juewen adjourned the court. He then relayed their plans to General Li and Chang Jun.
Chang Jun was actually quite pleased with Gongliang Juewen’s words, as Gongliang Juewen had previously suggested that each sect bring out their most prized magical artifacts so that the sects could seize some. However, he advised against making it too obvious.
Chang Jun was overjoyed to hear that Gongliang Juewen had already begun his operation and that the sects and families were about to bring out their most prized magical artifacts. This would allow the sects to acquire many high-level artifacts. As for preventing the sects from discovering this, it was actually quite simple. They could find a way to turn the sects’ experts, along with the artifacts, into their ranks, then take the artifacts into the sects’ possessions, place them in the Reality Illusion, and then return them to the sects. In this way, the sects and families would see that the artifacts were still in their hands, but they would never suspect that their artifacts had already been copied by the Blood Slaughter Sect.
The main reason why the Blood Slaughter Sect did this was to prepare for the final battle. They were slowly eroding the power of the Divine Kingdom. Once the power of the Divine Kingdom had been eroded to a certain extent, and the power of the Blood Slaughter Sect had reached a certain level, they could then engage in a decisive battle with the Divine Kingdom. At that time, they would definitely be able to take down the Divine Kingdom in one fell swoop. Once they took down the Divine Kingdom, the Blood Slaughter Sect’s goal in the Divine Realm would be achieved, and they could ascend to immortality.
