Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16176 Taking Action
When Gao Chengwu and his group arrived outside the white mist of the Myriad Laws Sect, they found the abbot of the Creation God Sect standing there with an unpleasant expression. Upon seeing Gao Chengwu and his group, the abbot's face darkened even further. He flew directly in front of them and coldly looked at Gao Chengwu, saying, "Gao Yasi, what brings you here?" He didn't address Gao Chengwu as "Patriarch," but rather by his official title, Yasi. In fact, the abbot's position was higher than Gao Chengwu's, so he didn't need to be polite to Gao Chengwu. Calling Gao Chengwu by his official title here was somewhat disrespectful and a reminder that he was merely a Yasi.

If someone of lower status calls you by your official title, it may be a sign of respect. However, if someone of higher status calls you by your official title, even though your own official position is not high, it means they don't think much of you. This is the meaning behind the saying that the prefect calls Gao Chengwu.

Gao Chengwu wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled slightly and then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the abbot, saying, "Abbot Chen, you're still in Jin Sui City. You've caused quite a commotion this time. Isn't that a bit much? As a local clerk, although I'm a lowly official, I still want to do my part. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Creation God Sect for what you're doing? The Creation God Sect is the state religion, so it should abide by the laws of the divine kingdom even more. What you're doing doesn't seem to be in accordance with the law, does it?"

Gao Chengwu immediately adopted an official tone. As the clerk of this city, he was supposed to be in charge of this matter, so he spoke directly.

Abbot Chen looked at Gao Chengwu and then said in a deep voice, "Gao, don't you know what happened?"

Gao Chengwu shook his head and said, "I really don't know about that. Please tell me in detail, Master Chen. I'll see if I can do my part to help you resolve this conflict. These words of mine don't just represent me alone, but also my colleagues. I believe that if we all work together, we can still resolve this matter perfectly."

Upon hearing Gao Chengwu's words, Abbot Chen glanced at the other families, his expression becoming slightly grave. Finally, his gaze returned to Gao Chengwu, and he said, "We only came here to help today, but several hundred people have already entered that white mist, and no one has come out. Don't you find that strange? I suspect that those people have encountered danger in the white mist, and perhaps the people of the Myriad Laws Sect have also encountered danger. We are trying to find a way to rescue them."

Upon hearing Abbot Chen's words, Gao Chengwu couldn't help but secretly exclaim how brilliant he was. The Wanfa Divine Sect members had been hiding in the white mist and hadn't come out. Of course, now whatever Abbot Chen said was law. If he said they were here to help, then they were here to help. If he said the Wanfa Divine Sect members were in danger, then the Wanfa Divine Sect members were in danger, unless the Wanfa Divine Sect members came out in person to explain. But if the Wanfa Divine Sect members really dared to come out, then Abbot Chen would immediately ask where everyone who had entered the white mist had gone. In short, no matter what, they would have a reason to continue attacking the Wanfa Divine Sect.

Gao Chengwu couldn't help but smile wryly. He then said, "Abbot Chen, we can ask about these things. If the people of the Myriad Laws Sect are really in danger, it should be our responsibility to rescue them. What do you think?"

The abbot looked at Gao Chengwu and then said, "It seems that Clerk Gao has a lot of misunderstandings about us. We are just here to help, why make such a fuss?" As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Gao Chengwu, and a cold glint flashed in them.

Gao Chengwu smiled slightly and said, "Master Chen, isn't this what the imperial court supports us for? If you all do all the work, what will we do? Won't we even lose our jobs? So please, Master Chen, don't interfere in this matter anymore. What do you think?"

Looking at Gao Chengwu, Abbot Chen's face darkened completely. He said to Gao Chengwu, "Gao, you are indeed upholding the law impartially. But Gao, don't forget that as the state religion, our Creation God Sect has the right to help deal with the events that happen in various cities. So what we are doing now doesn't seem to violate the laws of the divine kingdom at all, does it?"

When Master Chen saw that Gao Chengwu was still arguing with him, he didn't hold back and directly threatened Gao Chengwu, saying that he didn't want to waste any more time talking nonsense with Gao Chengwu.

Upon hearing Abbot Chen's words, Gao Chengwu's expression remained unchanged. Just as he was about to speak, a voice rang out, "Abbot Chen, it is indeed impressive that you have mobilized so many people from the city to help this time. But shouldn't you first come to my city lord's mansion to report this?"

Upon hearing the voice, Gao Chengwu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly adopted a respectful one. He then looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Shang Baiyi had flown to within ten feet of them. Gao Chengwu immediately bowed to Shang Baiyi and said, "Greetings, City Lord."

The other families also followed suit and bowed, saying, "Greetings, City Lord."

Shang Baiyi gave the group a deep look before saying, "No need for formalities." The group straightened up, but still bowed slightly. Gao Chengwu and the others knew very well that they couldn't afford to break ties with Shang Baiyi now; doing so would do them no good.

At this moment, Shang Baiyi turned to look at Abbot Chen and said, "Abbot Chen, you've made quite a commotion today. I know exactly what your purpose is, but you should also understand that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is a legitimate sect recognized by the Divine Kingdom. It's a bit unreasonable for you to directly attack them now. Moreover, you've caused such a big commotion. If His Majesty finds out about this, what will he think? Have you thought about that?"

The host looked at Shang Baiyi and then said, "Lord Shang, in principle, since you have already made your appearance, we should retreat today no matter what. However, you do not understand the current situation. If we cannot take them down this time, we will not be able to explain to our superiors. Therefore, we must take action today. I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to give you face, it's just that I can't give you face right now."

Upon hearing what Host Chen said, Shang Baiyi was taken aback. He then glanced at Host Chen and asked, "Then, Host Chen, how far do you intend to go with this?"

The abbot turned to look at the white mist, then said, "Either they die, or we die. There is no other possibility."

Shang Baiyi was taken aback. He really hadn't expected that Abbot Chen would say such a thing. He took a deep breath and then said, "If this is your decision, then I will no longer interfere. But there is one thing I hope you will remember: your battle should not affect too many people in the city. If the affected area is too large, then don't blame me for being impolite."

After finishing his sentence, Shang Baiyi said in a deep voice, "Issue the order to close the city gates, activate the defensive array, and from now on, the city will be under martial law. No one is allowed to leave."

At their command, someone immediately responded, and in the next moment, countless people flew out in all directions. Soon, a huge yellow protective shield covered the entire Golden Year City. At the same time, everyone in the city received a notice that they should immediately return to their houses and not go out.

The entire Golden Year City quickly fell silent, with only the members of each family still in the air. However, their expressions were not good. Shang Baiyi glanced at the members of each family, and then said, "You should all go back." After saying that, he turned to look at Abbot Chen and continued, "Abbot Chen, I'll give you one day. After one day, regardless of the outcome, your fighting must stop. What do you say? No objections?"

"No problem, one day is enough." A voice suddenly came. Everyone was stunned when they heard this voice. The next moment, the white mist at the location of the Wanfa Divine Sect's temple had disappeared, and Xu Ying was leading the other members of the Wanfa Divine Sect to stand there.

But there were only them there, no one else. Everyone was stunned when they saw this. They all knew that many gangs in the city had entered the white mist. They thought that the white mist was full of blood and piles of corpses, but they did not expect that there was nothing there. The stinking puddles disappeared, and of course, all the people disappeared as well.

Everyone looked at Xu Ying, unsure of what to say. Xu Ying smiled slightly at their expressions and then said, "What? Are you curious about where those people went? Don't worry, you'll see them soon. Anyway, let's not talk about that anymore. I really want to thank you all this time for saving us a lot of trouble."

Everyone looked at Xu Ying in bewilderment. Xu Ying looked at them, his smile widening. He continued, "Originally, we were planning to find an opportunity to slowly deal with everyone in the city. Now, you've sealed off the city yourselves, so no one will suspect us. It's much easier for us to proceed. Thank you." As he spoke, countless people suddenly appeared in the sky above the city. These people were all wearing armor and marching in neat formations. It was clear at a glance that they were elite soldiers, which caused Shang Baiyi and his men's expressions to change drastically.

Shang Baiyi glared at Xu Ying, then shouted angrily, "Xu Ying, what are you trying to do? Are you planning a rebellion?"

Xu Ying looked at Shang Baiyi's expression and then smiled slightly, saying, "Don't get excited. What's this talk of rebellion? We weren't originally from the Divine Kingdom, so what's this about rebellion? Don't worry, we'll be one of us soon." As soon as he spoke, the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples who appeared immediately launched an attack on them. Their first target was the people from the Creation God Sect, but of course, they wouldn't let any of the other people in the city go.
