Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15623 Arrangement
Master Kongjing sighed and said, "Now we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. If other sects and families really retreat, then we can only retreat as well. We can't just fight to the death. That would have too much of an impact on us. We do have some conflicts, but if we suffer too much loss, it will only benefit others in the end. I don't want to benefit others, and I believe you don't want that either. So we must also find a balance."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Qingyu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Alright, let's do it this way. In a little while, send out a notice to everyone, telling them about the matter of making those servant races fight to the death. At the same time, also tell everyone that we are going to fight the people of the Seven Realms next, and see how they react."

Master Kongxiang nodded. Daoist Qingyu stood up, bowed to him, and then turned and left. Master Kongxiang watched Daoist Qingyu's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh. What he had told Daoist Qingyu today was all his true thoughts. He truly felt the threat from the Seven Realms and he really wanted to destroy them. But unfortunately, with their current strength, it was probably impossible. He only hoped that the sect would send more people or send a large magical artifact. Otherwise, they really wouldn't be able to deal with the Seven Realms.

The reason why Master Kongxiang talked so much with Daoist Qingyu was because Daoist Qingyu was the first person to regard the Seven Realms as a threat. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked the Daoist Sect for support with large-scale magical artifacts last time. He felt that he and Daoist Qingyu were the only two people who were clear-headed among everyone.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again. Then he wrote to the One Buddha Sect, asking them to send more people to support them, preferably with large magical artifacts to deal with them. At the same time, he also told the One Buddha Sect about the threat from the Seven Realms, hoping that they would understand his good intentions.

After sending a letter to the Buddhist sect, Master Kongxiang took action once again. He wrote to all the major sects and families, telling them his plan: to send the auxiliary troops to fight the people of the Seven Realms to the death. If the auxiliary troops could disperse the army of the Seven Realms, that would be the best outcome. If not, then they would have to fight on their own. He told the people of the major sects and families that this time, they must go all out to deal with the Seven Realms and not hold back.

Of course, Master Kongxiang also knew that he was just the commander of the allied forces. Those sects and families all had their own plans and might not listen to him. But regardless of whether they listened to him or not, he had to issue the order because he was very clear that he had to do this matter and make his stance clear.

After returning to his sect's territory, Master Qingyu immediately sent a letter to his sect, requesting that they send people to provide support, preferably with large magical artifacts. After sending the letter, he stood in his main hall, thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Someone come here." As soon as he spoke, a young Taoist boy pushed open the door and walked in.

After the young Taoist boy entered, Master Qingyu looked at them and said, "Go and summon all the elders of those servant races." The young Taoist boy responded, bowed to Master Qingyu, and then turned and left.

A short while later, the young Taoist returned. He bowed to Master Qingyu and said, "Elder, everyone has arrived."

Master Qingyu nodded and said, "Alright, please invite them in." The young disciple responded and then turned and went out, returning shortly afterward to bring the people in.

Rather than calling them human, it would be more accurate to describe them as spirits. Among them are stone men, who are not very tall, about the size of a normal person. They have no facial features, only three holes representing eyes and mouths. Their bodies are entirely composed of pieces of stone, and they even have fingers.

There is another race that looks like a cow, but this cow walks upright. Its body is not human-shaped, just cow-shaped, but wearing clothes and walking upright. Even its hooves are still there.

There is another race that looks like a giant insect. It also walks upright, and its body is not human, but rather that of an insect. It walks upright and wears clothes, but all of their clothes have one thing in common: they look tattered and have nothing special about them.

These races looked like mountain spirits and wild monsters, not human at all. Upon seeing Daoist Qingyu, they immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Venerable One." "Venerable One" was their respectful title for Daoist Qingyu; in fact, they addressed all members of the Daoist Sect as "Venerable One." Daoist Qingyu nodded and then said, "Your two attacks were not well-executed, and I am very dissatisfied. Therefore, I will give you a chance. Next time you attack, if you attack with all your might and fight to the death, then for the next ten years, I can decide to waive all the tributes from your realms. If you again flee at the first sign of attack, then don't blame me; for the next ten years, all the tributes from your realms will be doubled. What do you say? Do you have any objections?" He finished speaking and coldly looked at these people. Upon hearing Daoist Qingyu's words, their expressions changed. They were truly surprised that Daoist Qingyu would give them such an order; it was indeed very unexpected.

However, they calculated that if all of them died in battle, their respective realms would no longer have to pay tribute for the next ten years. This would be a very worthwhile deal for them. After all, it would be extremely difficult for them to return to their own realms alive after leaving, so why not maximize their benefits? Trading their own deaths for the sake of their realms not having to pay tribute for the next ten years would be a worthwhile trade for them.

Upon realizing this, they all bowed to Master Qingyu and said, "Yes, Your Excellency's command." They all agreed.

Master Qingyu nodded and said, "Good, it's good that you agree. Go and prepare. We will soon launch another attack on Jade Bamboo Continent." The group responded in unison, then bowed to Master Qingyu and left the hall. After they left, Master Qingyu walked outside the hall, looked in the direction of Jade Bamboo Continent, and sighed softly. He felt that their operation was already a bit late. The Ten Thousand Serpent Wall on Jade Bamboo Continent was almost completed. If they couldn't break through Jade Bamboo Continent before the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall was finished, they would have no chance after it was completed.

Although he saw it today, the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall here on Jade Bamboo Continent is not as big or thick as the Ten Thousand Serpent Walls in the Seven Realms and Wood Spirit Realm, once the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall is fully built, it will become extremely difficult for them to conquer Jade Bamboo Continent. Therefore, this may be their last chance to conquer Jade Bamboo Continent.

Meanwhile, Daoist Qingxuan had already received Daoist Qingyu's jade slip. He picked it up, glanced at its contents, and frowned after reading them. He then put the jade slip down and said, "Someone come here." Immediately, a young Daoist entered and bowed to Daoist Qingxuan, saying, "Sect Master."

Master Qingxuan spoke, "Please invite the heads of each academy to come for a meeting." The young Taoist responded, then bowed to Master Qingxuan and left the study. A moment later, the young Taoist returned to the study, bowed to Master Qingxuan, and said, "Sect Master, the heads of each academy have arrived."

Master Qingxuan put down the jade slip in his hand and then said, "Please invite them in." The young Taoist responded and then left the study. A moment later, several Taoists entered the study. As soon as they entered, they immediately bowed to Master Qingxuan and said, "Greetings, Sect Master."

Qingxuan nodded and said, "Please sit down." The group responded, thanked him, and then sat down.

After they sat down, Daoist Qingxuan picked up the jade slip that Daoist Qingyu had returned and said to the group, "This is the jade slip that Qingyu just sent back. I won't show it to you, but I'll just tell you its contents. It's actually very simple; it's just one request: that the sect send people to support them, and also request that the sect send a large magical artifact to assist in the battle. It also mentions how powerful the people of the Seven Realms are. What are your thoughts on this?" As he spoke, his tone carried a hint of indifference, and his attitude directly affected the others. Everyone frowned after hearing his words.

One of the Taoist priests spoke up, "He's asking for help again and threatening to deploy large-scale magical artifacts. Are large-scale magical artifacts so easily deployed? Isn't he overestimating the Seven Realms? Isn't he giving the Seven Realms a bit too much credit?" Upon hearing this, the others all nodded in agreement. They had also changed their stance, feeling that Taoist Qingyu was indeed overestimating the Seven Realms, constantly threatening to deploy large-scale magical artifacts, which was indeed going too far.

Master Qingxuan nodded and said, "That's what I think too. This matter seems to have gone too far, and they're taking the Seven Realms too seriously. Do they really think that with so many people, they can't even conquer the Jade Bamboo Continent? The Jade Bamboo Continent isn't the Seven Realms or the Wood Spirit Realm. There's no way to build such a large Ten Thousand Serpent Wall there. Even if the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall were built there now, it's not finished yet. Why are they still asking for reinforcements? And why are they even deploying large magical artifacts? I think it might be that Junior Brother Qingyu has a problem with his mentality. I don't think he's suitable to lead troops anymore."

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone. They were initially taken aback, but then all nodded. A Taoist priest said, “Sect Master, even if Junior Brother Qingyu is no longer suitable to lead troops, it's not good to bring him back now, is it? Bringing him back would be telling the other sects that we are dissatisfied with him. Wouldn't that be too much of a blow to Junior Brother Qingyu? It would also be a huge blow to our sect's prestige. Therefore, I think we shouldn't bring him back now. It's best to wait until after this battle, and then not let him lead troops in future battles. This is the best solution. What does the Sect Master think?”
