Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15592 Scout

Upon hearing this, the ghost cultivator snorted coldly and said, "Fine, hurry up and send the supplies in." With that, he turned and left. The steward of the Liang family immediately directed his men to speed up the transport of the supplies. Once all the supplies were inside, he led the Liang family away. They were truly afraid of that ghost cultivator, worried that if they stayed any longer, they would offend him again, and he might take their lives at the slightest provocation.

After the Liang family members left the courtyard, the Liang family steward felt more and more that this matter needed to be reported. The Liang family head had told them that if they encountered anything during the delivery of supplies, they must report it to him immediately. This matter was definitely not trivial, so he had to report it.

After hearing the report from the Liang family steward, Liang Wu's expression turned quite grim. He then waved his hand and said, "Alright, I understand. You may leave." The steward responded, bowed to Liang Wu, and turned to leave.

After the steward left, Liang Wu's expression became even more unpleasant. He knew that the ghost cultivator must be holding a grudge against the Liang family. Sometimes it was like this: their strength was weak, so even though it was the other party who had a crooked mind and was thinking wildly, they ended up blaming them. If those words had been spoken by someone from the Daoist Sect, that ghost cultivator would never have dared to think wildly.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't tell the Sima family about this matter yet. It was just a small thing. If he reported it to the Sima family, they would definitely not care. In fact, even if that ghost cultivator wiped them out, the Sima family might not care, because that ghost cultivator was from the Myriad Manifestations Sect, and the Sima family wouldn't break ties with the Myriad Manifestations Sect for their own sake. So, they had offended that ghost cultivator this time.

Weakness is a cardinal sin in the cultivation world. He had known this for a long time, but never had he felt it so clearly. Now they really had no other choice but to take it one step at a time.

In the following days, all the families that were going to travel with the Daoist sect arrived. The Liang family served them even more carefully, worried that something might go wrong or offend someone. But even with their careful service, they still managed to provoke some people's dissatisfaction. This was the most frustrating thing for the Liang family, and in fact, it was exactly what they were most worried about.

Meanwhile, the Sima family group had already reached the outer perimeter of the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall in the Wood Spirit Realm. When they entered the area about 20,000 miles from the outer perimeter of the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, an alarm sounded at the wall. Bai Yan received the news immediately and immediately switched the projection to the command hall of his Heavenly Gang Earthly Fiend Array.

He looked at the Sima family members appearing on the projection, glanced at their numbers, and immediately said, "It seems they are scouts sent by the other side to investigate. But don't the Sima family know our location? Why would they come to investigate?"

An elder beside him said, "What they are doing is indeed a bit like stirring up trouble. The fact that they sent people out to scout will make us more vigilant, even if we didn't know they were going to attack us before. So what they are doing is indeed a bit strange."

Another elder spoke up: "Could it be that they know that even if they don't send anyone to scout, they can't take down the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall in one go? So they might as well send someone to scout and make preparations for a long-term battle with us?"

Bai Yan nodded after hearing the elder's words and said, "That's possible. They might have sent people here to scout us out and then establish a base outside our Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. Think about it, if we were in their position, knowing it's impossible for them to break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall in one go, would they live far away from it? That's impossible. If they lived far away from the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, their first attack would have to travel a long way to reach us, which is too inconvenient. So if I were from the Meteorite Domain, I would build a base outside the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall and then send people from that base to attack us until we take this place." The people around him all nodded, and Mu Yi, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "The closest continent to us seems to be the Yuzhu Liang family. It takes about five days to fly from the Yuzhu Liang family to here, and that's using divine light. Without divine light, it would take even longer. If they're going to attack us, they'll definitely build a base. Otherwise, attacking us from the Yuzhu Liang family would be too far, making their attacks unsustainable. So they'll definitely build a base, and these scouts are probably here to choose a location." Mu Yi knew a thing or two about the situation here, which is why he said this. He was very clear that if the people from the Meteorite Domain wanted to attack them, they would definitely build a base.

Bai Yan nodded and said, "That's right. They came to scout this time to see just how far our Ten Thousand Serpent Wall's attack range really is. But the Sima family already knew that, so there's no need to keep it a secret. If they enter within ten thousand miles, attack them immediately." Someone immediately responded and went to make the arrangements, while Bai Yan kept an eye on the group. The group was about to enter within ten thousand miles, and just as they did, the energy weapons on the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall immediately attacked them. Bai Yan looked at the projection, wanting to know how the group would react.

Upon seeing the energy weapon attack, those people immediately retreated, continuing for tens of thousands of miles. They then discovered that the energy projectiles attacking them gradually dissipated at a distance of about ten thousand miles. Seeing this, they breathed a sigh of relief and immediately retreated further. They then took out a small teleportation array and began sending messages back.

Bai Yan snorted coldly and said, "As expected, they came to determine our attack range. Men, notify all teams to prepare for battle. Once the people from Meteorite Domain arrive, all teams should immediately attack them. We absolutely cannot let them build their base so easily. Aren't they guarding against our energy weapons? We'll just use our teams to attack them directly and see what they do then."

Everyone responded, and Bai Yan said in a deep voice, "They think we'll keep using the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall to deal with them, but they never imagined that we'd use them as training grounds this time. So we'll keep attacking them with our battle teams. I want to see what they think then. Notify everyone to prepare for battle. It shouldn't be long before we clash with the people from the Meteorite Domain." Everyone responded and immediately went to make arrangements, including Mu Yi. Mu Yi left with a hint of excitement and a hint of killing intent on his face. Among all of them, he was the one most eager to fight the people from the Meteorite Domain, because he had the deepest grudge against them. So naturally, he wanted to teach the Meteorite Domain a lesson. Before joining the Blood Slaughter Sect, this was something he wouldn't have dared to even think about, but now he was already doing it.

Meanwhile, Sima Wuyan also received the message relayed by their scouts. Upon seeing the contents of the jade slip, Sima Wuyan immediately took it and went to find Master Qingyu. Master Qingyu was working in his study in his courtyard. As soon as he heard that Sima Wuyan was requesting an audience, he immediately had someone invite Sima Wuyan to his study. As soon as Sima Wuyan arrived at Master Qingyu's study, he saw Master Qingyu standing at the door to greet him. He immediately bowed to Master Qingyu and said, "Greetings, Elder Qingyu."

Master Qingyu returned the greeting and said, "Elder Sima, you're too kind. Please come inside." Sima Wuyan smiled and followed Master Qingyu into the study. This study used to be Liang Wu's study. The furnishings inside were very antique. However, it was clear that although the style of the furniture was antique, the furniture itself was newly made. Obviously, the Liang family had made thorough preparations, even providing them with new furniture.

The study was divided into two areas. The inner area had two bookshelves, a desk, and an official's hat chair, while the outer area had many chairs and small tables. Clearly, the outer area was for receiving guests. The two areas were separated by a display shelf, with a circular moon gate connecting them to the inner area.

The two sat down on the chairs outside. Master Qingyu looked at Sima Wuyan and said, "Elder Sima, I wonder what brings you here today?" As he spoke, a disciple of the Taoist sect brought tea.

Sima Wuyan took out the jade slip and then presented it to Daoist Qingyu with both hands. The jade slip slowly flew towards Daoist Qingyu, and he said, "Elder Qingyu, this is a message brought back by a scout sent out by our Sima family. Please take a look." After Sima Wuyan finished speaking, he looked at Daoist Qingyu, who took the jade slip that flew towards him and scanned it with his spiritual power. After reading the contents, a smile appeared on his face.

Elder Qingyu put away the jade slip and smiled at Sima Wuyan, saying, "Good, excellent! The information you provided earlier, Elder Sima, was indeed correct. The energy weapons on the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall have an attack range of only ten thousand li. We can build a base ten thousand li away from the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. Moreover, they said that as long as it's ten thousand li away from the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, we can build anywhere. Because the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall is so large, the base can be built anywhere. In that case, let's set off tomorrow with our army, build the base first, and then prepare to attack the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. I want to see if their newly built Ten Thousand Serpent Wall can withstand our attack. If their newly built Ten Thousand Serpent Wall can withstand our attack, then we must increase our forces and break through their Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. The people of the Seven Realms must not be allowed to live." By the end, his face was filled with murderous intent.
