Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16159 Enemy? Friend?
Pei Yingzhi glanced at everyone, knowing they had all figured it out, before speaking: "Since everyone has figured it out, I won't say anything more. The reason the royal family didn't help the Creation God Sect this time was actually to give them a warning. After all, this wild boar of a sect is still alive, and it's not time to kill this disobedient dog. And don't forget, in the eyes of the royal family, the wild boar isn't just this sect."

When the other families heard Pei Yingzhi say this, they were all stunned for a moment. Then they immediately understood what Pei Yingzhi meant, and their faces all turned ugly. They knew very well that the wild boar Pei Yingzhi was talking about was not only the sect, but also them. In the eyes of the royal family, these aristocratic families were probably another wild boar. How could the royal family kill their own dog first while the two wild boars, the sect and themselves, were still alive?

One of the families said somewhat unwillingly, "Are we just going to let this opportunity slip by?"

Pei Yingzhi smiled and said, "No, of course we won't let this opportunity pass. On the contrary, this is definitely a good opportunity for us. Didn't the Creation God Sect take away a lot of benefits from us before? Then we'll take this opportunity to take those benefits back. But you must remember not to go too far. If you go too far, the royal family will also take action against us."

Everyone nodded, and Pei Yingzhi looked at them and said, "But doing this is only the first step."

Everyone was stunned once again. Pei Yingzhi looked at everyone and said, "The Creation God Sect is not weak now. It is already a very powerful dog, and it is a bit disobedient. What does this mean? It means that they are ambitious. They don't want to be controlled by the royal family forever, and we don't want to be controlled by the royal family either. But the royal family's strength is there. So we can attack the Creation God Sect first, and then we can contact the Creation God Sect and form an alliance with them."

Upon hearing Pei Yingzhi's words, everyone was taken aback. Then, one of the families spoke up, "Brother Pei, are you mistaken? We'll build up the Divine Transformation Sect and then form an alliance with them? Wouldn't it be better to just form an alliance with them directly?"

Pei Yingzhi shook his head and said, "No, if you were royalty, and you had two subordinates, both of whom were very strong and somewhat disobedient, would you prefer them to unite or to fight each other to the death?"

Everyone was taken aback, but then they immediately understood Pei Yingzhi's meaning. If a person really has two very capable subordinates who don't listen to him much, he would naturally hope that the two subordinates would have conflicts and fight. However, if the two subordinates don't have conflicts and instead unite, then it would be their turn to be uneasy. That's the most important thing.

Pei Yingzhi looked at everyone and continued, "We need to fight against the Creation God Cult on the surface, but secretly form an alliance. At the same time, we also need to deal with those sects together from time to time. This should be the situation that His Majesty wants to see the most. If His Majesty wants to see such a situation, then we will present such a situation to His Majesty."

A cold smile appeared on everyone's face. These aristocratic families had always been suppressed by the royal family, whose strength was indeed very strong. In addition, the royal family had deliberately instigated conflicts between the aristocratic families and the sects in the past. They did not realize this at first, but by the time they did, it was too late. The hatred between the aristocratic families and the sects had already been formed, so they had no way to cooperate with the sects.

However, the Creation God Cult is different. The Creation God Cult has only been around for a short time, and the conflicts between them are not very deep. If they can really form a secret alliance with the Creation God Cult, it would definitely be good news for them.

Pei Yingzhi glanced at everyone and then said, "If we can really take advantage of this opportunity to form an alliance with the Creation God Cult, then who will truly be in charge here in the Divine Kingdom in the future is anyone's guess."

Everyone else smiled, agreeing with Pei Yingzhi's words. But then a family member suddenly spoke up: "Brother Pei, what if we are too powerful against the Creation God Sect and manage to destroy them? Wouldn't our plan be useless then?"

Upon hearing their words, Pei Yingzhi immediately said in a deep voice, "The royal family will not stand by and watch the Creation God Sect be destroyed, so they will definitely take action. Even if the royal family does not take action, and the Creation God Sect is really destroyed, what do you think will happen then?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then their expressions changed drastically. They immediately understood Pei Yingzhi's words. If the other party really destroyed the Creation God Sect, it meant that the other party was an existence even more powerful than the Creation God Sect. They didn't know what kind of background such an existence had, nor did they know whether it would be detrimental to the Divine Kingdom. If such an enemy really existed, then they wouldn't be thinking about fighting for any benefits, but rather they would have to unite and destroy the other party together. That was the most important thing.

No one spoke again; they had fully understood Pei Yingzhi's words. Pei Yingzhi glanced at everyone and then said, "Regarding the matter of the Creation God Sect, if everyone has no objections, let's handle it this way." Everyone nodded, indicating they had no objections. Pei Yingzhi continued, "Then let's talk about another matter, which is the military. Currently, the most elite troops are still controlled by the royal family, which is why we have always been very wary of them. As for the troops in various cities, some of them are now under our command, but within the military, there is still a force that has been opposing us. They have always wanted to remain neutral and not help anyone. The most important thing we need to do now is to win these people over to our side. If we can truly control all the troops except those controlled by the royal family, then we can truly stand on equal footing with the royal family."

Everyone nodded, but one family member smiled bitterly and said, "This idea is good, but it's not an easy thing to do. The military force has always been very united. They stick together, and even the royal family can't do much with them. Even if we issue an order to them in the name of the court to give up their positions, they won't agree. So it's not an easy thing to win them over."

Pei Yingzhi glanced at them and then said, “Take it slow. I don’t believe they will always be so united. As long as people unite, their thoughts will not be completely the same. The reason they haven’t betrayed their own people now may just be because the price we offered was too low. If we offer them conditions that they cannot refuse, then the situation will be completely different. So we still have a chance, and we can’t rush it.”

Everyone responded, and Pei Yingzhi continued, "Alright, if no one has any objections, let's all go back first. Then we'll get back all the profits that the Creation God Sect swallowed up." Everyone responded, and then they all stood up, turned around, and left.

Meanwhile, in the same city, in a room of the largest temple of the Church of Creation, a group of people were sitting. This group of people were none other than the leader of the Church of Creation and his various bishops.

The leader of the Creation God Cult was an ordinary-looking man. He appeared to be over sixty years old and was wearing the robes of the Creation God Cult. However, he did not give the impression of a high-ranking leader; instead, he resembled an old farmer. His eyes were half-closed, as if he were dozing.

Don't let his unassuming appearance fool you; no one dares to underestimate him. How could someone who has become the leader of the Creation God Cult be a simple person? His strength speaks for itself, and it was under his leadership that the Creation God Cult gradually grew to its current state. It can be said that the Creation God Cult's success today is entirely due to him. No one dares to underestimate someone like him.

The other people in the room were all bishops of the Cult of Creation. They were all discussing something with grim expressions, but they kept their voices as low as possible, as if they were afraid of disturbing the cult leader.

After a long while, the cult leader's voice finally came out: "Tell me, how should we deal with this matter?"

The bishops immediately sat up straight, and one of them spoke up: "Master, this incident seems to be an attack by followers of other gods. This matter is definitely not simple. Our most important task now is to find out which god's followers are attacking us so that we can make targeted deployments."

Everyone else nodded, but the leader remained silent, sitting there with his eyes half-closed. At this moment, another bishop spoke up: "This attack on us has not only caused us harm, but more importantly, it will trigger a series of chain reactions. Our church is developing very rapidly, which has affected the interests of many people. Those people have been tolerating us before, but now it is hard to guarantee that they will not take this opportunity to deal with us. If that happens, it will be very dangerous."

Upon hearing his words, the other bishops all nodded in agreement, sharing the same thought. However, the Pope remained silent. The bishops, who knew the Pope well, understood that this meant he was not satisfied with what they had said, hence his silence. Everyone became tense, knowing full well that if the Pope were truly angry, the consequences would be severe.

At this moment, a bishop spoke up: "Our most important task now is to deal with the person who attacked us. Only in this way can we have the energy to deal with other things. Otherwise, having such an enemy is definitely not a good thing for us. So my idea is to find a way to deal with the person who attacked us first, and then we can deal with the others."

The pope remained silent, only slightly opening his eyes to look at the speaker. Upon seeing this gesture, everyone felt a sense of relief, as it indicated that the pope was quite satisfied with what the bishop had said.
