Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15602 Retreat
Seeing the Blood Slaughter Sect's battle formation rampaging through their ranks, the people from the Meteorite Domain were all terrified. They no longer dared to stand in front of the Meteorite Domain's army. Those facing the Blood Slaughter Sect's army were either servants of various sects or families, or troops from smaller clans. These people lacked the will to fight to the death. For them, fighting the Blood Slaughter Sect was a forced act. They could manage in favorable or low-intensity battles, but in high-intensity warfare or when facing adversity, they lacked the resolve to fight to the end. Their fighting spirit was extremely poor. Therefore, faced with the Blood Slaughter Sect's charge, they had no determination to fight to the death or withstand the attack. They simply scattered and fled. In their view, since everyone else was running, why shouldn't they run too?

While the disciples of the major sects and families possessed formidable fighting spirit, the fact that their auxiliary troops and members of smaller families had all fled meant they would have to face the Blood Slaughter Sect's charge. If they were to confront the Blood Slaughter Sect's charge on their own, it would be a detrimental outcome, as their casualties would be immense.

Meanwhile, Daoist Qingyu sat in his palace, his face ashen. His palace was both a magical artifact and his dharma image; from within, he was fully aware of everything happening outside. He knew the situation was hopeless; if their disciples faced the Blood Slaughter Sect's full-scale attack, their losses would be too great. They could afford such losses, but they didn't need to. Thinking this, he immediately ordered, "All disciples of the Daoist Sect, move towards my palace! We are retreating!" He then shouted, "Elders of all sects and families, listen to my command! Retreat! Retreat outside the Blood Slaughter Sect's attack range! But remember, do not rush! Do not rout! If you do, we are finished!" "Maintain formation and retreat. If the Blood Slaughter Sect attacks us, experts from each family will strike to block their advance." Upon hearing Zhao Hai's order, the members of each family and sect responded and began to retreat. However, the members of the smaller families, upon hearing Qingyu Daoist's order, did not maintain any formation. Instead, they immediately used their divine light to retreat at full speed. Faced with this situation, the members of the smaller families did not care about maintaining formation. In their view, running away was the priority. In any case, they could not stop the Blood Slaughter Sect's attack anyway. In addition, Qingyu Daoist had agreed to retreat, which meant that they could run away. So they ran even faster. As for maintaining formation, that was even more impossible. They would not maintain any formation; running away was the best option.

Master Qingyu sat in the palace, his face ashen. He had considered that their attack might be fruitless, but he never imagined that they would fail so utterly. Now that defeat was inevitable, he could only preserve the remaining strength of his sect. He couldn't care less about anything else. So he ordered all the members of the Yidao Sect to retreat using divine light. As soon as they saw them use divine light, everyone else followed suit. The Blood Slaughter Sect members, however, did not pursue them. After they used divine light to escape, they simply disappeared.

The army of Meteorite Domain used divine light to escape for about two hours before stopping. By this time, they were already quite far from the Wood Spirit Realm. This time, their escape was not a general retreat, but a dispersed escape. Therefore, only some people from their sect were with Daoist Qingyu. As for people from other sects, they had disappeared.

Master Qingyu's face was extremely grim. He immediately sent letters to the various sects and families, asking for their locations. At the same time, he took out a positioning artifact, activated it, and instructed those people to gather at his location. He also instructed the families and sects to send letters to their subordinate smaller families and their auxiliary troops, asking them to gather at their locations first and then come to him together.

After arranging these matters, Master Qingyu sent letters to the others, asking the people of the Yidao Sect to contact the small families under their jurisdiction and persuade them to come closer to them. As for servant races, they did not use servant races this time. They used the technique of turning beans into soldiers, which involved puppets, so there were no servant races.

The locating artifact that Master Qingyu activated earlier was a very special artifact. It was specifically designed for people to move through the void. This artifact had no real power; its only function was to emit an energy fluctuation. This energy fluctuation had no offensive capability, but it could be sensed by others carrying other locating artifacts, allowing them to find them. After all, the void was vast, and finding someone who entered it was extremely difficult. Therefore, this locating artifact was invented. Although not many people use it now, everyone still habitually carries one. If they encounter any situation that requires them to enter the void, they can use this locating artifact to let others know their location. It can also be used to locate other continents. Therefore, this artifact is actually quite useful.

After arranging everything, Daoist Qingyu invited the elders from the Daoist Sect who had come with him to his palace. Once they arrived, Daoist Qingyu looked at them and said with a wry smile, "How shameful! I never expected our attack to be so humiliating. The people from the Seven Realms are so powerful, which I didn't expect. What I didn't expect even more is that our people are so weak in combat. This is too surprising."

Upon hearing what Daoist Qingyu said, the expressions of the elders from the Daoist Sect also turned grim. One of the elders then spoke up, "Elder, this matter truly isn't our fault. Those auxiliary troops collapsed at the first encounter, and the people from those smaller families all fled. Under these circumstances, even if we wanted to fight the people of the Seven Realms to the death, we couldn't. Even if we did fight them, what would the outcome be? We might all perish, yet we still wouldn't be able to defeat them. Therefore, this matter cannot be blamed on us at all." The other elders all nodded in agreement.

Master Qingyu shook his head, then sighed and said, "In the end, it's because we underestimated the fighting strength of the Seven Realms that we're in this situation. Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's discuss what we should do next once everyone else arrives. Does anyone have any ideas?" Master Qingyu was now having a headache. The fighting strength of the Seven Realms exceeded his expectations, and the fighting strength of the servant armies of the various sects and families was far weaker than he had imagined. How were they going to fight this battle? He was having a headache, so he wanted to hear other people's opinions.

When the elders of the Daoist sect heard Qingyu ask this question, they all looked at each other in bewilderment. To be honest, they didn't know what to do either. They had never encountered this situation before, so they really didn't know what to say.

After a long pause, an elder finally spoke up, "Judging from the attack by those people from the Seven Realms today, even if we build a temporary base, we won't be able to stop their offensive. Their attack is extremely fierce, especially their battle teams. They can even use momentum, and the power is so great. A temporary base absolutely cannot withstand their onslaught. Therefore, I think we can stop mentioning building a temporary base." Everyone else nodded in agreement, agreeing with his point. There was indeed no need to build a temporary base; it would be useless, given the formidable offensive power of the Seven Realms.

At this moment, an elder suddenly spoke up: "If we don't establish a base, then if we want to fight them for a long time, we will have to use large-scale magical artifacts. Using large-scale magical artifacts to attack them will not only be more flexible, but also, when necessary, we can concentrate the power of all the disciples to deal with them together. This may have unexpected effects at critical moments."

The group all nodded in agreement, acknowledging the use of a large-scale magical artifact. It's important to understand that this large-scale artifact was different from Elder Qingyu's palace. While Elder Qingyu's palace appeared large, it was essentially designed for himself, capable of housing some disciples, but not many. In short, it was his personal residence, not designed as a large-scale magical artifact. Therefore, in the battle against the Blood Slaughter Sect, his palace couldn't be used as a large-scale magical artifact. The large-scale magical artifacts in the Meteorite Domain, however, were specially designed. They possessed not only vast internal spaces but also formidable defensive and offensive capabilities. Most importantly, in special circumstances, such as encountering a powerful enemy, these large-scale magical artifacts could concentrate the power of all the disciples within them for maximum effect. The power of a large magical artifact is immense. It can be said that in the Meteorite Domain, the only magical artifact comparable to that of the Blood Slaughter Sect is their large magical artifact. Precisely because of this, their large magical artifacts are extremely difficult to forge. It is almost impossible for every sect and force in the Seven Universe Realms to possess many large magical artifacts. In the Seven Universe Realms, only major forces like the Eight Great Sects and the 108 Great Families possess their own large magical artifacts, and even then, the number is not large. Take the Dao Sect for example; after many years of accumulation, their sect only has ten large magical artifacts. However, the power of their large magical artifacts is still very great. In the Meteorite Domain, each large magical artifact can hold about 100 million disciples. One can imagine how powerful their large magical artifacts are; they are absolutely comparable to the Great Thousand Machine Star of the Blood Slaughter Sect.
