Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16385
Chapter 16383: Gambling
Upon hearing Wan Hai’s words, everyone’s expression changed. An elder then spoke up, “If that’s really the case, then things are troublesome. If His Majesty finds out about this, he certainly won’t ignore it.”
Wan Hai shook his head, saying, “Not necessarily. If His Majesty was wary of the Creation God Sect before, now that the Creation God Sect is essentially starting from scratch, His Majesty has no need to be wary of them. Most importantly, we now have a much stronger enemy. Although the Creation God Sect didn’t obey His Majesty before and wanted to break free from his control, they never rebelled. In any case, they nominally obeyed His Majesty’s orders. His Majesty only eliminated them because he was wary of them. But now we face…” “The Blood Slaughter Sect, our enemy, is different. They’ve clearly rebelled and declared themselves kings. Under these circumstances, His Majesty might set aside his fear of the Creation God Sect and instead utilize them. Therefore, we really shouldn’t jump to conclusions about the Creation God Sect right now.”
Upon hearing this, the elder was taken aback, then nodded and said, “Yes, Patriarch, I understand. So what should we do next? I think we should report this matter. If His Majesty finds out about this and we haven’t reported it, he will definitely blame us.”
Wan Hai’s eyes were slightly closed, and everyone could tell from his expression that he was thinking about this matter, because he always had this expression when he was thinking.
After a long while, Wan Hai opened his eyes. He glanced at everyone and then said, “Let’s take a gamble.”
The elders were all taken aback, looking at Wan Hai with some confusion. Wan Hai looked at them and continued, “I’m sure His Majesty already knows about this, but he may not be able to decide what to do with these people from the Creation God Sect. So why don’t we give His Majesty a push? I think His Majesty will call me for a meeting soon. I’ll bring it up then, asking him to reinstate the people from the Creation God Sect, giving him a way out. At worst, we can deal with them after we’ve used them.”
Upon hearing Wan Hai’s words, the Wan family elders were all stunned. They exchanged glances, and then one of the elders couldn’t help but say, “Family…” “Master, isn’t this too risky? What if His Majesty doesn’t intend to use the Creation God Sect? Won’t he blame us?”
Wan Hai said in a deep voice, “Even if His Majesty doesn’t want to use the Creation God Sect, he shouldn’t blame us. After all, we’re doing this for His Majesty’s sake, all to deal with the Blood Slaughter Sect.”
Just then, a knock came at the door. Wan Hai immediately stood up and said, “It must be His Majesty asking me to attend a meeting. I’ll be going now.” He walked out and saw a servant waiting for him at the door. As soon as the servant saw Wan Hai, he bowed and said, “Master, His Majesty summons you to a meeting.”
Wan Hai nodded and said, “Okay, I understand. I’ll go right away.” He then headed towards the teleportation array.
Soon, Wan Hai arrived at Wu Kong City. When he reached the main hall, he found that many people had already gathered there. Qing Xuan was there, standing in the hall with his eyes closed, resting.
Wan Hai didn’t speak to him, but walked to the side and stood quietly. Soon, most of the people arrived. At this time, Gongliang Juewen also came out from the back of the hall. After he sat on the dragon throne, everyone immediately bowed to him. Gongliang Juewen nodded and then directly said to the crowd below, “No need for formalities, please sit.” After thanking them, everyone sat down.
Once everyone was seated, Gongliang Juewen went straight to the point: “I think everyone knows about the attack on Wuwei City. I won’t waste any more words. I’ll just mention something you may or may not know: during the battle with the Blood Slaughter Sect in Wuwei City, someone discovered that there were members of the Creation God Sect among our people. What do you think about this?”
Hearing this, Wan Hai and the others who knew about this matter weren’t surprised, but those who didn’t know the news were quite astonished and began to discuss it amongst themselves.
Gongliang Juewen looked at the people below, and he couldn’t help but frown slightly. Then he coughed lightly, and although the sound was not loud, it silenced the people below instantly.
After everyone quieted down, Gongliang Juewen spoke up: “Patriarch Wan, please tell us your thoughts.”
Wan Hai responded, stood up, and bowed to Gongliang Juewen, saying, “Your Majesty, I believe we should reinstate the Creation God Sect.” His words immediately silenced the hall; the entire hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared at him, completely taken aback that Wan Hai would say such a thing. After all, Gongliang Juewen had personally ordered the destruction of the Creation God Sect. To reinstate it now seemed like Gongliang Juewen was contradicting himself. They were all utterly astonished.
Gongliang Juewen looked at Wan Hai and said, “Oh? Patriarch Wan, tell me your thoughts.”
Wan Hai responded, then bowed to Gongliang Juewen and said, “Your Majesty, I believe we currently have only one enemy: the Blood Slaughter Sect. Although the Creation God Sect was previously labeled a traitor, all its former members have been executed. The current members of the Creation God Sect have likely only recently joined, as evidenced by their strength. They are completely different from the previous Creation God Sect. Although they are also called the Creation God Sect, they should have no connection with the previous one.” “It’s a long story, and now is precisely the time when we need manpower. If we deal with the Creation God Sect now, it will only cause us to lose more people, and at the same time, it will make us a laughing stock for the Blood Slaughter Sect. Therefore, I think Your Majesty would be better off reinstating the members of the Creation God Sect and having them help us deal with the Blood Slaughter Sect. At worst, we can deal with the Creation God Sect after we
‘ve dealt with the Blood Slaughter Sect.” Upon hearing Wan Hai’s words, everyone was stunned. Then, they all looked at Wan Hai in surprise. They really hadn’t expected Wan Hai to be so ruthless. He hadn’t even done anything yet, and he had already planned to use them and then discard them. This was indeed surprising to many people.
Gongliang Juewen had been listening quietly to Wan Hai’s words. After Wan Hai finished speaking, Gongliang Juewen didn’t speak. As soon as he didn’t speak, many people immediately understood Gongliang Juewen’s meaning. It seemed that Gongliang Juewen didn’t intend to destroy the Creation God Sect directly this time.
However, upon reflection, Wan Hai’s suggestion is actually quite good. Reinstating the Creation God Sect wouldn’t mean restoring their previous status, but rather refraining from further attacks. This would force them to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect. To avoid annihilation by the Blood Slaughter Sect, they would need to increase their strength. The God of Creation might then help them improve, causing the Creation God Sect to consume a large number of Blood Slaughter Sect members, which would benefit them.
Furthermore, they don’t need to worry about the Creation God Sect siding with the Blood Slaughter Sect. The Blood Slaughter Sect wouldn’t want them, as they have their own sect, the Wan Hai God Sect, which contributed to the Creation God Sect’s destruction.
Therefore, the Blood Slaughter Sect wouldn’t accept the Creation God Sect, and its members wouldn’t consider joining. They are natural enemies; wouldn’t it be better to let them fight to the death?
At this moment, Qingxuan also stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, I believe Patriarch Wan is right. The Creation God Sect was merely a dog Your Majesty kept before. Later, when this dog became disobedient, it was right for Your Majesty to kill it. But now, the Creation God Sect is like a new dog, and just then a thief appears. It needs to bite the thief. Your Majesty might as well keep this dog for a while, and deal with it after the thief is killed.”
Seeing that both of them agreed with him, Gongliang Juewen’s eyes lit up, and he said, “Since both of you ministers say so, I agree to this matter. However, I…” “I won’t explicitly issue an order recognizing their legitimacy, but I will give them a chance. If they help us defeat the Blood Slaughter Sect this time, then I will recognize their legitimacy afterwards. This is an opportunity I’m giving them, and I hope they can seize it.”
Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen’s words, everyone said in unison, “Your Majesty is wise.”
Gongliang Juewen continued, “The fighting at the front lines this time has been quite good, but they have also reported a situation: the Blood Slaughter Sect is conducting experiments. They are testing it at Wuwei City. They originally planned to seal Wuwei City with a magic array, but they later found it impossible and gave up.” Then they used large magical artifacts to directly break through the soil, allowing their people to attack our underground base. These were all experiments by the Blood Slaughter Sect. What do you all think of this situation?”
Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen’s explanation, everyone fell silent for a moment. Then a minister spoke up: “Your Majesty, the Blood Slaughter Sect didn’t gain any advantage in their attack on Wuwei City this time. They will realize that they have no advantage against us. The only advantage they might have is their large magical artifacts. So, in their next attack, they certainly won’t abandon their strengths for their weaknesses. Their next attack will definitely rely on…” “With the Golden Wheel as our leader, our previous plan will finally come in handy.”
Gongliang Juewen nodded in agreement, then asked, “Your Excellency is right. Is our second line of defense complete? Have all the sect’s most treasured magical artifacts been distributed?”
A general immediately stood up, bowed to Gongliang Juewen, and replied, “Your Majesty, the second line of defense is essentially complete. The only remaining task is to evacuate some ordinary people. All the sect’s most treasured magical artifacts have been distributed. If the enemy dares to come, this time they will certainly not return alive.”
