Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16456

Chapter 16454: Desperate Struggle

Zhang Tieliang glanced at the group, then said in a deep voice, “Follow.” He then flew forward with Wu Qian. Many of those people were disciples of the Zhang family, and upon hearing Zhang Tieliang’s words, they immediately followed. Some others, however, turned their gazes to Wu Qingying.

Wu Qingying nodded and also flew forward with Wu Qian, and the others quickly followed. Seeing this, the remaining people said nothing more and followed Wu Qian.

Soon they arrived at a small town. Wu Qian and his group landed directly in the town and used the town’s teleportation array to reach another base. As

soon as they arrived at the other base, Wu Qian received a letter from Gongliang Juewen, instructing him, Zhang Tieliang, and Wu Qingying to immediately go to Wu Kong City for a meeting.

Wu Qian immediately led the two to Wu Kong City. When they arrived at the main hall of Wu Kong City, the heads of all the sects and families were already there.

Wu Qian and his group entered the main hall and immediately bowed to Gongliang Juewen. Gongliang Juewen waved his hand and then said, “No need for formalities. Tell me about the Jade Dragon Base. You didn’t explain it very clearly in the jade slip. Please explain in detail.”

Wu Qian responded and then recounted the events at Jade Dragon City. Finally, he said, “Your Majesty, the Blood Slaughter Sect is definitely not simple. They have vines that grow incredibly fast, and insects that can move freely in the soil. In addition, they can resurrect the dead and use magic arrays. It can be said that their strength is completely beyond our imagination. The reason we withdrew from the Jade Dragon Base this time was because we were worried that someone might be resurrected and then infiltrate our ranks again, which would be too dangerous. Fortunately, I have now thought of a way to detect resurrected people. When we left, one resurrected person tried to sneak in, but I discovered him. The person escaped. I attacked him and found that after being injured by my flying sword, he didn’t bleed. Moreover…” “The wounds healed quickly. We can test our people to see if anyone can be injured without bleeding and whose wounds don’t heal immediately. That person must be a resurrected one.”

Gongliang Juewen and the others listened quietly to Wu Qian’s words. After Wu Qian finished speaking, they remained silent for a long time. After a while, Gongliang Juewen turned to look at everyone and said, “I really didn’t expect the Blood Slaughter Sect to be so powerful, and to have such methods to resurrect the dead. Does that mean that people were already resurrected at the first and second lines of defense? They could always know the situation of our lines, which is why their attacks on our lines were so successful.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed, and then they all nodded. To be honest, the mobility of rogue cultivators at the front lines was quite high. Many rogue cultivators had already retreated from the front lines. In other words, there might be people resurrected by the Blood Slaughter Sect in every city now.

This is a big problem. If they start a full-scale investigation to see if there are any resurrected people, it will cause panic. But if they don’t do this, it will be impossible to find the resurrected people. In that case, the Blood Slaughter Sect can still get information through these people, which is a real headache.

Gongliang Juewen spoke up, “No matter what, we must find those who have been resurrected. By the way, I wonder if those resurrected people can be placed under a restriction. If we can, then are they considered members of the Blood Slaughter Sect or our people?”

Everyone was stunned; they hadn’t really thought of this question. At this moment, Qingxuan spoke up, “It’s probably impossible to place a restriction on them, otherwise there would definitely be an energy conflict. Now we understand why the Blood Slaughter Sect usually didn’t leave any survivors when they attacked our bases. It must be because they were worried that we would find out their secrets. But this time, their secrets have been revealed to us, and they probably know this too. So they will definitely act immediately, trying to seize as much territory as possible before we can react. It’s possible that the other bases on the third line of defense have already been attacked.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a eunuch ran in from outside. This eunuch came to Gongliang Juewen’s side and handed him a jade slip.

Gongliang Juewen took the jade slip and glanced at it. Then he said to Qingxuan, “Minister Qingxuan, you guessed correctly. The Blood Slaughter Sect has indeed begun to attack the other bases on the third line of defense.”

Wu Qian’s expression changed, and he immediately said, “Your Majesty, I was in a meeting and didn’t explain what happened to the people at the other bases. They are completely unprepared. If they are attacked at this time, they will be in great danger.”

Gongliang Juewen said in a deep voice, “It’s too late to say all this now. Someone, go and send letters to those bases, telling their people to withdraw from those bases as soon as possible and retreat to other small towns.” A servant immediately responded and went to make the arrangements.

Gongliang Juewen glanced at everyone and then said, “After we return, everyone should conduct a self-examination. Hopefully, we can find all the resurrected people.” Everyone responded.

Gongliang Juewen continued, “The problem now is how to stop the Blood Slaughter Sect’s attack. Originally, we wanted to use the underground base to fight against the Blood Slaughter Sect and hold them back. But now it seems the underground base isn’t doing us much good; on the contrary, it’s become the Blood Slaughter Sect’s home ground. This is absolutely unacceptable. So we have to change our tactics. Does anyone have anything to say?”

Everyone exchanged glances and fell silent. After a while, a family head suddenly spoke up, “Your Majesty, it seems we have no choice but to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect. They have a lot of people, and we have just as many. They have large magical artifacts, and so do we. They have deformable shields, and we have the Shattering Star Sword. They have their sect’s treasure, and so do we. Therefore, there’s no need for us to wear them down bit by bit. Let’s concentrate all our strength, form a large army, and fight the Blood Slaughter Sect!”

His words resonated with everyone. Startled, everyone stared at him. The patriarch glanced at them and then spoke, “The underground base is unusable, and other methods are also unusable, so let’s just fight them head-on. I truly refuse to believe that with our strength, we can’t defeat them. Everyone, now I understand why so many sects and families surrendered to the Blood Slaughter Sect. It’s likely that their members were already killed and resurrected. That means they probably never intended to spare our lives. Rather than waiting for them to kill us, we might as well fight them.”

Everyone was stunned, then their expressions changed. They hadn’t considered this. They had been wondering why those sects and families suddenly surrendered to the Blood Slaughter Sect, but now, hearing the patriarch’s words, they suddenly understood. Yes, if the Blood Slaughter Sect killed those people and turned them into the undead, then the actions of those sects and families would make sense.

If this is true, it means that the Blood Slaughter Sect has no reason to spare their lives. They could simply kill them and then resurrect them, making them all obey the Blood Slaughter Sect. It’s better to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect directly than wait for them to be killed.

Gongliang Juewen’s expression changed, and he glanced at everyone before asking, “What do you all think?” Qingxuan and

the others nodded. Qingxuan said, “Your Majesty, ever since I learned that the Blood Slaughter Sect can resurrect people, I’ve known that we’re at a critical juncture. If we can’t defeat the Blood Slaughter Sect, we will all die. Sect Master Yu is right; it’s better to fight than wait to die.” The

others nodded in agreement. Wan Hai continued, “The Blood Slaughter Sect may have initially intended to use this method to silently control our entire Divine Kingdom, but that plan was ultimately thwarted.” “They have no choice but to fight us head-on. At this point, we absolutely cannot retreat or disperse our forces. We must fight the Blood Slaughter Sect to the death. Moreover, during the battle with the Blood Slaughter Sect, we must retrieve the bodies of all those who have fallen in battle. Otherwise, those corpses might become their own and turn against us. In that case, the Blood Slaughter Sect’s numbers will only increase, while ours will only decrease.”

Everyone nodded. This was their biggest worry. The Blood Slaughter Sect could resurrect the dead. If they didn’t retrieve the bodies of their fallen soldiers, the Blood Slaughter Sect’s numbers would only grow, which was the most terrifying thing.

Gongliang Juewen nodded and said, “Minister Wan is right, that’s indeed how it should be. We were wondering why the Blood Slaughter Sect collected the corpses of both their fallen soldiers and ours when they fought us. It turns out they can resurrect the dead. Now we understand why the Blood Slaughter Sect seems to be growing in number. Why they suddenly have so many people. Now, all we can do is fight them. This is a matter of life and death; either they live, or we…” “There’s no other possibility. Everyone, go back and prepare. I will mobilize the forces of Wukong City and send it to the front lines. This time, we’ll fight the Blood Slaughter Sect to the death.” Gongliang Juewen spoke calmly, but his words sent a shiver down everyone’s spine. They understood perfectly what he meant: Gongliang Juewen was truly going to fight to the death this time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have moved Wukong City to the front lines. This was the royal family’s last trump card, and they wouldn’t use it unless it was a desperate situation. (End of Chapter)
