Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16464

Chapter 16462. Speculation

“Because Wukong City originally had an illusion array. Don’t forget, Wukong City itself is a fortified city, and it already has an illusion array. Otherwise, why have we not known the true location of Wukong City for so many years? However, the reason we can’t see Wukong City now may not be because of the magic array on Wukong City, but because the Blood Slaughter Sect has set up a new magic array on Wukong City. Don’t forget, the Blood Slaughter Sect is also a master of magic arrays,” Wen Jing said.

Upon hearing Wen Jing’s words, everyone was stunned for a moment, then they all nodded. Wen Jing then continued, “Everyone, I have a seemingly absurd, but most likely, guess: Gongliang Juewen may have already surrendered to the Blood Slaughter Sect.”

Everyone was stunned again. Qingxuan stared intently at Wen Jing and asked, “Why do you say that?”

Wen Jing said in a deep voice, “I won’t go into what happened before. Gongliang Juewen’s previous command was flawless, but this operation was very problematic. Remember, they didn’t actually need to go to the front lines. Although his final reason was that if the fourth line of defense fell, defeat was only a matter of time…” “But he didn’t have to do that. He could have used those bases to slowly wear down the Blood Slaughter Sect. We could have even placed some large magical artifacts near our bases, along with all the Shattering Star Swords, to slowly wear them down. There was absolutely no need for him, the emperor, to personally go to the front lines at this time, or even bring Wu Kong City with him. He didn’t need to do that, but he did it anyway.”

Wen Jing paused here, then looked at everyone and said, “Why? Why did he do that? Look at our losses this time—the most elite disciples from each family, nearly three-fifths of the kingdom-level experts. It can be said that this loss has caused us…” This is truly devastating. Our sect has lost at least three-fifths of its strength. Even those who lost less, it’s likely more than half of the sect’s power. Although we still have many people in our sect, all of our most elite disciples have been lost, and more than half of our kingdom-level experts have also been lost. Such a loss is something we never even imagined before. We can still organize people to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect now, but what if those who were sent out have now become members of the Blood Slaughter Sect? That would be a terrifying thing. But the formation I set up shouldn’t have been broken so quickly. Now that it has been broken, there’s only one possibility: there’s a traitor, and a very high-ranking one at that. He destroyed the formation. “Who could do that? You can think about it carefully.”

Wen Jing stopped again, panting heavily, looking at Qing Xuan and the others, and then said, “We have always believed that Gongliang Juewen is an emperor, and that he would never surrender. But we forgot his other identity, that is, the head of the Gongliang family. The reason we were so wary of the Gongliang family before was because of their ancestor. But so many things have happened here in the Divine Kingdom, and the ancestor of the Gongliang family has not appeared. There are only two possibilities: one, the ancestor of the Gongliang family has already passed away, but they just haven’t announced it to the public; two, the people of the Gongliang family have surrendered to the Blood Slaughter Sect, and they are now on their own side. Of course, they would not send their ancestor to deal with the Blood Slaughter Sect.”

“You should know how strong the Blood Slaughter Sect is. Their array formation techniques are very strong, and their strength is also very strong. Most importantly, they have a way to revive the dead and turn them into their own people. This is the most terrifying thing. It means that they will get stronger as they fight, because they can turn their enemies into their own people, while we will get weaker as we fight. Because every time we die, that person may become our enemy. And right on the battlefield, they can revive the dead and turn them into their own people. This is the most terrifying thing.”

“I suspect the Gongliang family surrendered long ago. Because of this, the Gongliang family is well aware that if we continue to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect like this, we will eventually be defeated, we will all die, and after we die, we may be resurrected by the Blood Slaughter Sect and eventually have to join them again. In order to protect the Gongliang family, they might surrender. And those people we gathered who went to the fourth line of defense are their pledge of allegiance. They offered those people to the Blood Slaughter Sect in exchange for their family’s survival. This is possible.”

No one spoke. The hall was eerily quiet. Everyone’s breathing became heavy. They had never thought of this situation before, but now that Wen Jing said this, they realized that this situation could really happen.

Wen Jing looked at everyone and then said, “I was actually quite moved by what Gongliang Juewen said to us before. It was as if he was making his last arrangements. But it’s also very strange. Why would he say those things? It’s as if he really won’t come back. Unless he already knew he wouldn’t be coming back, and he said those things just to keep us calm and not to make us suspect him. That’s very possible. If that’s the case, then it’s terrifying. We’ve all been tricked by him.”

“This isn’t just wild speculation. I have great confidence in the array I set up. Even if the Blood Slaughter Sect’s array techniques are extremely powerful, my Myriad Swords Illusionary Immortal Array isn’t something that can be broken easily. No matter if they break it with brute force, array against array, or technique, they can’t break my array in a short time. Just breaking my array would take them several days. There’s only one way to break my array so quickly: destroy the array’s core, especially the main core. And where is the main core? It’s in Wukong City. If my guess is correct, it must be the Gongliang family who destroyed the main core. Only in this way can my array become ineffective. And I wonder if you noticed something: the unusual activity of the Gongliang family before the war.” Qingxuan and

the others recalled Wenjing’s words. The unusual activity of the Gongliang family before the war? They really hadn’t noticed that. What unusual activity did the Gongliang family do before the war? They thought for a long time but couldn’t figure it out.

Looking at everyone’s expressions, Wen Jing continued, “You’ve all forgotten that before the war, a portion of the Gongliang family went to the front lines before Wu Kong City arrived. So, those Gongliang family members were scattered throughout all the large magical artifacts. Even after Wu Kong City arrived, they didn’t return; they remained inside those artifacts. The Gongliang family’s reason was that they wanted to fight alongside everyone. But what if they didn’t want to fight alongside us, but instead wanted to seal all our large magical artifacts? The Gongliang family might not have that ability, but don’t forget, our enemy is the Blood Slaughter Sect. The Blood Slaughter Sect has that ability; they only need one…” “The sealing array can seal all our large magical artifacts. At that time, our Myriad Swords Illusionary Immortal Array will be destroyed and rendered useless. Our large magical artifacts will be sealed, unable to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect. Meanwhile, our people will face the encirclement of all the Blood Slaughter Sect’s large magical artifacts, as well as the countless cultivators of the Blood Slaughter Sect. Under such circumstances, what would be the consequences if Gongliang Juewen were to step forward to persuade them to surrender?”

Qingxuan shuddered. He dared not think any further. If it was really as Wenjing said, then their people would have faced an absolute dead end. If Gongliang Juewen had stepped forward to persuade them to surrender, and the Blood Slaughter Sect had offered some conditions, then those people might indeed have surrendered.

But what if those who surrendered turned around and attacked them? Qingxuan dared not think any further. He turned to look at the others, whose faces were also extremely grim.

Wen Jing then spoke up, “I’m not telling you all this to excuse myself. I want to say that this is a possibility. If that’s really the case, then we won’t just be facing the Blood Slaughter Sect members; we might even have to face people from our own sect. If that happens, the consequences will be unimaginable. We must prepare for the worst.”

No one spoke; everyone’s faces turned incredibly grim. Suddenly, Wan Hai spoke up, “Is there any way?” As

Wan Hai spoke, he kept looking at Wen Jing. Wen Jing thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “I don’t know…” “I don’t know what methods you have, but the only one I can think of right now is to set up a magic array. And it’s not just any magic array, it’s the Myriad Swords Illusionary Immortal Array we used before. The power of this array is absolutely unquestionable, and its attack power is extremely strong. Most importantly, this array is relatively easier to set up. At least among all the magic arrays of the same level that I can think of right now, its power is the greatest, and it’s also the easiest for us to set up.” When

Wan Hai and Qing Xuan heard Wen Jing say this, they were both stunned. They didn’t expect Wen Jing to be so persistent, still wanting to set up the Myriad Swords Illusionary Immortal Array even now.

Wen Jing glanced at them and then said, “I know what you’re thinking. You think I’m too stubborn, but that’s not the case. Other formations of the same level as the Myriad Swords Illusionary Immortal Formation need a suppressing object to unleash their maximum power. The stronger the suppressing object, the greater the formation’s power. Moreover, these formations can only be set up on the ground. But we’re facing attacks from the Blood Slaughter Sect. They might send out those insects to destroy the formations. That’s our biggest problem right now.”

“But the Myriad Swords Illusionary Immortal Formation is different. It doesn’t need a suppressing object, and it doesn’t even need to be set up on the ground. We can set up this formation in the sky. And given our current situation, this is the most powerful and easiest formation we can set up.”
