Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16444
Chapter 16442. Proposal
“What do you all think of Elder Wen’s proposal? Is it feasible?” Gongliang Juewen looked at everyone.
Everyone fell silent. To be honest, Wen Cheng’s proposal was indeed very good, but everyone was also having a headache over this matter. The plan Wen Cheng mentioned might actually succeed, but even if it did, it would still be a headache. Even if the plan succeeded and they really penetrated into the heart of the Blood Slaughter Sect, the people at the Blood Slaughter Sect’s current defense line would also return to reinforce. At that time, the people they sent out would really be attacked from both sides, which would be very dangerous for them.
Wu Qian then spoke up, “A direct attack on the Blood Slaughter Sect’s heartland is possible, but we must be prepared to retreat at any time. Therefore, to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect’s heartland, we must use large-scale magical artifacts, and we must also plan our retreat route carefully, otherwise it will be truly dangerous.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Wu Qian continued, “The Blood Slaughter Sect’s first line of defense is already in place. Even if we want to pass through their defenses, we must be extremely careful.”
Everyone nodded again, and Gongliang Juewen said, “Alright, let’s use this plan as our attack plan for now. Everyone, go back…” “Afterwards, let’s discuss it properly and try to improve this plan as much as possible.”
Everyone responded. Gongliang Juewen then said, “Let’s talk about the second matter. Should we build a third line of defense? Let’s discuss it.”
This time, almost no one hesitated. Qingxuan spoke up directly, “Your Majesty, I believe we must build a third line of defense. In fact, we not only need to build a third line of defense, but also a fourth. We must even be prepared to turn all our territory into a defensive line.”
Hearing Qingxuan say this, Gongliang Juewen was quite surprised. He looked at Qingxuan and said, “Qingxuan, please explain your thoughts carefully.”
Qingxuan He responded and then said, “Your Majesty, my suggestion to turn all our territory into a defensive line doesn’t mean the Blood Slaughter Sect has the strength to directly breach our defenses. Rather, it’s because the Blood Slaughter Sect possesses two large magical artifacts. The first is the Creation Golden Wheel, whose defensive capabilities are quite good, and its speed is also considerable. Most importantly, its offensive power is also very strong. The second is their spherical magical artifact. We don’t yet know how powerful this artifact is, but it’s certainly not weak. They possess two large magical artifacts, and quite a few of them. If they were to utilize these two large magical artifacts…” “If they attack our heartland, how should we respond? Therefore, I believe we must strengthen our defenses. Ideally, we should turn all the cities and sects within our territory into bases. That way, even if the Blood Slaughter Sect really attacks, our losses won’t be too great.”
Upon hearing Qingxuan’s suggestion, everyone nodded. Qingxuan’s proposal was indeed excellent. The Blood Slaughter Sect possessed large magical artifacts, and they could indeed directly attack their heartland. If the Blood Slaughter Sect did this, then the cities and sects large and small within their heartland would likely be in trouble, since many cities and sects large and small haven’t even established underground bases yet.
Gongliang Juewen nodded and said in a deep voice, “What Minister Qingxuan said makes sense. Having all cities and sects establish underground bases is indeed a good idea. Are there any other methods?”
Qingxuan said in a deep voice, “There’s also the matter of those rogue cultivators. There are still many rogue cultivators who haven’t gone to the battlefield. I think we must utilize these rogue cultivators. We should directly stipulate that all rogue cultivators must join various sects or aristocratic families, and at the same time, place restrictions on them. I’ve thought about it, and the reason why the Blood Slaughter Sect’s attacks have been so successful recently might also be related to those rogue cultivators.”
Everyone looked at him with some confusion. Looking at him, Qingxuan said, “Everyone only remembers the Blood Slaughter Sect now, but has forgotten the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect is a branch of the Blood Slaughter Sect. When the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was proselytizing, countless rogue cultivators joined them. However, at the time, no one took it seriously. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect allowed those who joined their sect to also believe in other religions, and even gave away techniques to those rogue cultivators for free. At the time, no one took this seriously, thinking that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was just trying to increase its influence by allowing people to join. In reality, there was no real binding force. However, if those rogue cultivators join them…” When we joined the Myriad Laws Cult, were we secretly placed with restrictions by the Myriad Laws Cult? Perhaps they had already begun their scheme. Therefore, all those rogue cultivators who joined the Myriad Laws Cult could potentially be members of the Blood Slaughter Sect. Even if they don’t destroy our base, just sending intelligence to the Blood Slaughter Sect would be enough to give us a headache. Therefore, we must place restrictions on all rogue cultivators. After all, if a rogue cultivator has one restriction, other restrictions cannot be placed on their body. We can use this method to identify which rogue cultivators are problematic, or even potentially members of the Blood Slaughter Sect. If some rogue cultivators are unwilling to let us… “If we place a restriction on him, then we must kill him. Even if we kill the wrong person, it’s not a big deal. But if we let those people go, the threat to us will be too great.”
After hearing Qingxuan’s words, everyone fell silent. To be honest, they hadn’t really thought about this. Back then, when the Myriad Laws Sect used that method to recruit followers, everyone laughed at their foolishness. They had almost no constraints on those followers, allowing them to join other sects without requiring them to do anything for the Myriad Laws Sect. They only needed to symbolically complete the initiation ceremony to become members of the Myriad Laws Sect and receive several techniques for free.
But what if this was a scheme laid out by the Blood Slaughter Sect? Then had they really already placed restrictions on those rogue cultivators and then released them, pretending not to care? How many rogue cultivators in their territory were actually members of the Blood Slaughter Sect? If that were the case, it would be terrifying.
As for using restrictions to identify who has joined the Blood Slaughter Sect, it is indeed a good and simple method. Of course, there will be some who are unwilling to have restrictions placed on them, and these people are not members of the Blood Slaughter Sect. However, such people are a minority. Even if they kill the wrong person, it’s not a big loss for them, just as Qingxuan said. But if they fail to find the members of the Blood Slaughter Sect, their future losses will be much greater. So, it is indeed true that it is better to kill the wrong person than let them go.
Gongliang Juewen glanced at the people below and then said, “What Minister Qingxuan said makes sense. What do you all think?” Although Qingxuan’s method would cause a great loss of Blood Slaughter Sect disciples in the Divine Kingdom, those disciples would be resurrected anyway. Gongliang Juewen still supported Qingxuan’s proposal. Anyway, with him around, what kind of information could the Blood Slaughter Sect not get? So, of course, Gongliang Juewen would not oppose Qingxuan’s proposal.
The crowd below all nodded. In their view, although this might lead to the wrongful killing of many cultivators, it would all be worthwhile as long as they could find the Blood Slaughter Sect members.
Gongliang Juewen continued, “If everyone agrees, then this matter is settled. We will now do three things: First, prepare for the attack on the Blood Slaughter Sect; second, all sects and cities must build underground bases; third, place restrictions on all rogue cultivators. This is an order; all rogue cultivators must have restrictions placed on them. Anyone who dares not to will be executed.”
Everyone responded. Gongliang Juewen looked at the crowd and continued, “These three things must be done simultaneously, but we must handle the third thing first before considering the attack on the Blood Slaughter Sect. Otherwise, if we cannot find all the Blood Slaughter Sect members first, our plan to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect might be exposed, and we will be in danger. Therefore, the third thing needs to be completed first. Understood?” “Is that right?”
Everyone responded. Gongliang Juewen nodded and then said, “Alright, then everyone can go back first. Remember, you must do the third thing first. Okay, disperse.”
Everyone responded and then stood up, bowed to Gongliang Juewen, and then turned to leave. Gongliang Juewen then said, “Minister Wu, come to my study.”
Wu Qian, who was leaving, quickly responded and then stayed. The others were not surprised by this. Although Wu Qian’s position on the second line of defense was actually quite awkward, to be fair, he hadn’t made any mistakes in command. If the Blood Slaughter Sect hadn’t created such a large formation, the first line of defense wouldn’t have been lost. This matter really wasn’t Wu Qian’s fault, so Gongliang Juewen certainly wouldn’t punish Wu Qian. This time, letting Wu Qian stay was probably for another purpose.
After everyone else left, Wu Qian followed Gongliang Juewen to his study. As soon as they entered, Gongliang Juewen said to Wu Qian, “Sit down.” Wu Qian responded and sat down. They were all members of the Blood Slaughter Sect, and it could even be said that their status in the Blood Slaughter Sect was the same, so Wu Qian felt more at ease here.
Gongliang Juewen sat down and then said, “I didn’t expect Qingxuan and the others to make such a suggestion. It seems that the sect’s rogue disciples in the Divine Kingdom are in danger this time.”
Wu Qian nodded and said, “That’s true. However, we can’t not support this matter, otherwise it will arouse their suspicion. We’d better not arouse any suspicion at all. Once they really suspect us, it will be really troublesome. At that time, the sect may really lose our source of intelligence.”
Gongliang Juewen nodded and said, “I kept you here because of the third line of defense. I actually wanted to finalize the matter of the third line of defense before, but Qingxuan changed the subject. It seems that he guessed my intention to have you command the third line of defense.”
