Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16431

Chapter 16429. The Magic Array

Everyone fell silent. To be honest, was Wu Qian right? Yes, they all understood the principle, but would they really be willing to sacrifice their sect’s disciples, or even themselves? Of course not. They were all cultivators, and cultivators are inherently selfish. How could selfish people be willing to sacrifice themselves for others? So even if Wu Qian’s words made perfect sense, they were still unwilling.

Wu Qian’s expression was grim. Just as he was about to say something, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open. Wu Qian’s face darkened, and he was about to shout when a soldier, pale-faced, said to him, “General, something bad has happened outside!”

Wu Qian asked sternly, “What is it?”

The soldier replied, “General, you’ll find out if you go out and see.” Wu Qian snorted coldly, then stood up and said to the others, “Let’s all go out and see. Could it be that the Blood Slaughter Sect has attacked?”

As he spoke, he walked out, and the others quickly followed. Their meeting place was in an underground space, but this underground space also had a direct passage to the outside. After they arrived outside, they flew directly to the surface through that passage.

When they reached the surface, they all stood there, stunned, staring blankly in the direction of Thousand Lotus Mountain.

The reason they had such expressions was because what happened at Thousand Lotus Mountain was truly astonishing. The entire mountain was enveloped by a massive light barrier, shimmering with multicolored light—it was incredibly beautiful. Most importantly, the colors on the barrier were constantly flowing, like a flowing, multicolored celestial river. It was beautiful, absolutely stunning, and truly breathtaking.

Wu Qian stood there stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and took flight. Once airborne, his gaze immediately turned towards Wuwei City. Sure enough, there was also a multicolored light barrier covering Wuwei City. Upon seeing this, Wu Qian’s expression darkened even further.

At this moment, everyone else also took to the air, all looking towards Wuwei City. They saw the multicolored light shield, and their expressions turned incredibly grim. They all knew what this meant: Wuwei City had been connected to Qianhe Mountain by the Blood Slaughter Sect using a magic array—a terrifying prospect.

Wu Qian took a deep breath to calm himself, then said, “This matter must be reported. What happens next is up to the higher-ups. Everyone, go back and wait for news.” With that, Wu Qian vanished and returned to the underground base. Upon returning, he immediately sent a letter to Gongliang Juewen, reporting the situation.

Meanwhile, Gongliang Juewen was in a meeting with Qingxuan and the others. Wan Hai’s face was extremely grim. The destruction of Wuwei City was the greatest loss for their aristocratic alliance, hence his expression.

Gongliang Juewen and his group were discussing their next move. Their thoughts were similar to Wu Qian’s: to launch a full-scale attack on Wuwei City and retake it.

But at that moment, a eunuch quickly approached Gongliang Juewen and handed him a jade slip. Gongliang Juewen glanced at the contents of the slip, his expression immediately changing. He took a few deep breaths to regain his composure, then handed the slip to another eunuch, saying, “Read it.”

The eunuch responded, took the slip, and used his spiritual energy to enter it. After reading the words, he spoke: “Your Majesty, the Blood Slaughter Sect has constructed a magic array on Thousand Lotus Mountain. Five-colored light covers the entire mountain, including Wuwei City, seemingly forming a unified whole. Retaking Wuwei City will likely be even more difficult. What should I do next? Your Majesty, please decide. Your subject, Wu Qian.” “Respectfully yours.”

The letter was short but clearly explained the situation. Upon hearing the eunuch finish reading, the faces of everyone in the hall turned grim. Wan Hai exclaimed, “The Blood Slaughter Sect actually built such a large formation? How did they manage that?”

No one answered him; everyone’s expression was unpleasant. Some were cautiously discussing among themselves. At this moment, Gongliang Juewen spoke up, “Forget about how they did it. We must think carefully about what we should do next.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, they shouldn’t be thinking about how the Blood Slaughter Sect accomplished this; they needed to figure out how to deal with them.

Suddenly, a cultivator spoke up, “I think we must reclaim Thousand Lotus Mountain, at all costs. We must take it back.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Gongliang Juewen said in a deep voice, “Reinforce the troops! Reinforce the front lines! At the same time, send all the Shattered Star Swords we’ve made to the front lines. Tell Wu Qian that I don’t care how many people he loses this time; I only care about the result. He must take back Qianhe Mountain. If he fails, he can come to me with his head.”

Everyone responded. Gongliang Juewen continued, “Go back and mobilize your troops. All sects and families must send troops. If I find anyone who hasn’t mobilized troops, don’t blame me for being impolite. Disperse.”

Everyone responded, then stood up, bowed to Gongliang Juewen, and turned to leave. After they left, Gongliang Juewen returned to his room. This time, he didn’t call Chang Jun. Chang Jun and his men had even revealed their magic array, which meant they were ready to get serious. It was useless for him to say anything now, and there was no need to ask Chang Jun.

Meanwhile, Chang Jun stood in his room, looking at the projection in front of him. Xu Ying and the others were all there. Chang Jun looked at the projection and said, “Next, the people of the Divine Kingdom will definitely attack us with all their might, and they might choose any location to attack us. Our only task is to attack Poplar City while they attack us and take it down in one fell swoop.”

Everyone responded. Chang Jun continued, “Alright, everyone go back and prepare. When they move, we move too.” Everyone responded again, then bowed to Chang Jun and turned to leave. Chang Jun’s gaze remained fixed on the projection, which was, of course, a map of the first line of defense. Chang Jun was studying it, trying to figure out where the enemy would attack if they were the enemy.

Actually, he didn’t need to study it; he could just ask later. Chang Jun simply wanted to see if his guesses would align with Wu Qian’s group’s actions.

Meanwhile, the various sects and families, upon returning to their territories, immediately sprang into action. This time, they were genuinely in a hurry. They directly transferred a large number of their sects’ manpower to the front lines, and also transported all the Shattered Star Swords they produced there. Their families also began to refine Shattered Star Swords at full capacity. They were well aware that this time they had to go all out; if they didn’t, it would be truly the end.

To be honest, before the Blood Slaughter Sect revealed such a large-scale formation, they had always looked down on the Blood Slaughter Sect. They all believed that the Blood Slaughter Sect had only gotten lucky; they might have some strength, but they would be destroyed sooner or later. Therefore, they had never really taken the Blood Slaughter Sect seriously.

However, when the Blood Slaughter Sect used a single magic array to completely envelop Thousand Lotus Mountain and Martial Might City, they realized they had underestimated the Blood Slaughter Sect. Their strength was far greater than they had imagined; otherwise, they couldn’t have created such a massive array so easily. It wasn’t just an array; it was a manifestation of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s power.

They knew before that the Blood Slaughter Sect’s array techniques were extremely powerful, but they didn’t have a clear grasp of just how powerful they were. But the appearance of this array at Thousand Lotus Mountain truly showed them just how formidable the Blood Slaughter Sect’s array techniques were.

Keep in mind, that was the entire Thousand Lotus Mountain! In the Divine Kingdom, no array could be built that large—not a single one.

Thousand Lotus Mountain was a renowned mountain in the Divine Kingdom, its area being among the largest in the entire kingdom. To envelop Thousand Lotus Mountain with a single magic array seemed impossible to them.

The largest magic array originally in the Divine Kingdom was actually the one on Wukong Island. Wukong Island is vast, spanning over ten thousand li in circumference, and this entire area is covered by a single magic array, making it the largest array in the Divine Kingdom.

How large are the magic arrays in other parts of the Divine Kingdom? They aren’t actually very large. Even the array used by the Tianxuan Sect, considered large, is only about five thousand li in circumference. The arrays of other sects and aristocratic families are even smaller.

Of course, such a large array couldn’t possibly cover the entire Tianxuan Sect. Therefore, sects like the Tianxuan Sect are divided into mountain peaks, each with its own separate defensive array. Their defenses are separate, not a unified whole.

The area of Thousand Lotus Mountain is more than ten times larger than that of Wukong Island. The magic array created by the Blood Slaughter Sect is also more than ten times larger than the array in Wukong City. Don’t forget, their array also covers Wuwei City. There’s still a distance between Thousand Lotus Mountain and Wuwei City, and Wuwei City is not a small city, but a large one. Such a massive magic array, combining Thousand Lotus Mountain and Wuwei City, is something no one in the Divine Kingdom could build, yet the Blood Slaughter Sect did. How could they not be astonished, how could they not take it seriously? This is precisely why, when Gongliang Juewen ordered that Thousand Lotus Mountain be reclaimed at all costs, no one stood up to object. (End of Chapter)
