Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16181 Contraction
Luo Xiong knelt in a room. In front of him was an incense burner, from which wisps of smoke rose, carrying a fragrance. Behind the incense burner was a soft couch, and on the couch leaned a person. This person was none other than the leader of the Creation God Sect.

The cult leader was leaning there with his eyes half-closed, as if he were about to fall asleep, but Luo Xiong knelt upright, not daring to move at all. After a while, the cult leader finally spoke, "Get up."

Luo Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed to the cult leader, and then stood up. The cult leader continued, "The people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect are indeed quite strong. Even you are no match for them. Fine, you may leave."

Luo Xiong responded, bowed to the sect leader, and then left the room. Only after he was outside did he truly breathe a sigh of relief. He had just been reporting to the sect leader about his battle in Jin Sui City. He had described his battle in as much detail as possible, fearing that the sect leader would punish him. Fortunately, the sect leader did not punish him.

After Luo Xiong left, the cult leader spoke up, "Someone, go and invite the bishops to the conference room for a meeting." A disciple immediately responded and went to fetch them. Then the cult leader got off the soft couch, walked to the door, where a palanquin had been prepared by disciples. He sat directly in the palanquin and headed towards the conference room.

Actually, his room wasn't far from the conference room, but he still used a palanquin to show his status. When he arrived at the conference room, several bishops were already there. This was a rule of the Church of Creation: whenever he summoned someone, no matter what they were doing, they had to immediately drop what they were doing and come to see him, or they would be punished.

As soon as the leader entered the room, the bishops immediately stood up and bowed to him. He simply nodded, then walked to the main seat and sat down. After he sat down, he still had his eyes half-closed and said, "You should have heard about what happened in Jin Sui City. Luo Xiong and his team also failed. Luo Xiong's team was one of the strongest teams in our Creation God Sect. They failed. What do you think about this?"

Upon hearing his words, the bishops exchanged glances and remained silent for a moment. They knew the fighting strength of Luo Xiong's team; they were extremely formidable. The fact that their team had failed to defeat the Wanfa God Cult made the matter rather troublesome.

The leader didn't urge them, but sat there quietly for a while. Then, one of the bishops spoke up: "Leader, I think the problem now is that we don't know anything about this Myriad Laws Cult. We don't know how many people they have, or what their combat strength is. This puts us at a disadvantage. But one thing is certain: the Myriad Laws Cult is what His Majesty uses to keep us in check. So their combat strength must be considerable, otherwise His Majesty wouldn't use them to keep us in check. I heard that martial law was imposed in Wukong City before, and I suspect it was related to the Myriad Laws Cult. If that's the case, then we need to adjust our strategy for dealing with the Myriad Laws Cult."

His words startled everyone. The cult leader also glanced at them with some surprise before saying, "Tell me in detail."

The bishop responded, "The Church of All Laws is used by His Majesty to keep us in check. Besides their own strength, His Majesty will not let them fail easily. So it will be very difficult for us to defeat them in one fell swoop. My idea is that we should hold back our power and see what the effect will be."

The cult leader frowned slightly and said, "Tell me in detail."

The bishop responded and then said, “Currently, the Myriad Laws Cult only has one temple. The second temple has not yet been built. When facing us, they only have one group of people fighting us. This group is very strong, but apart from this group, we have no idea about the combat strength of the rest of their cult. Because they have too few temples, they have exposed very little. If we withdraw our forces and give up some territory so that they can build more temples and expose more of the Myriad Laws Cult, then we might be able to find out their true strength and know the extent of their cult's combat power. Moreover, doing this is also giving His Majesty face. His Majesty will be suspicious of us, and he will also be suspicious of those people. Once His Majesty is suspicious of the Myriad Laws Cult, the Myriad Laws Cult will no longer receive His Majesty's support. At that time, when we deal with them, His Majesty will probably not care.”

Upon hearing his words, everyone frowned, but they also felt that he was right. Just as he said, the Myriad Laws Sect was used by His Majesty to keep them in check. If they really defeated the other side in one fell swoop, the consequences would be unimaginable. At that time, His Majesty might take drastic measures to deal with them.

However, if they withdraw their power and cede some territory, His Majesty's attention will be focused on them and the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. His Majesty doesn't want another Creation Divine Sect to emerge, so their pressure will be less. Then, when they deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, His Majesty might not care anymore, because His Majesty would love to see them fight to the death.

The cult leader, with his eyes half-closed, remained motionless for a long while. Everyone else was silent, watching him intently. After a while, the cult leader finally spoke, "Alright, cede fifty cities to them first, let them expose more of themselves. I want to see just how strong the Myriad Laws Divine Sect really is." Upon hearing this, everyone responded. The cult leader slightly opened his eyes and looked at them, saying, "We can cede fifty cities to the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, but if anyone else tries to harm us, we will not yield an inch. Don't forget His Majesty's original intention in sending our Creation Divine Sect to spread his teachings: to counterbalance the powerful families and sects. If they dare to make a move, we will chop them up immediately. We must let His Majesty know that although we are strong now, we are still his sharpest weapon. As long as His Majesty sees our loyalty, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect will no longer need to exist. Go and prepare."

Everyone responded, then stood up, bowed to the cult leader, and turned to leave. After they left, the cult leader stood up and walked out, then sat in his carriage and returned to his room.

Meanwhile, Xu Ying and his group waited in Jin Sui City for several days and found that the Creation God Cult had not sent anyone there again, which surprised them greatly. Xu Ying did not think that the Creation God Cult was the kind of people who would give up so easily, so why did they stop sending people?

Xu Ying had little experience in this area, so he called Chang Jun directly. As soon as the call was connected, Xu Ying immediately bowed to Chang Jun and said, "Uncle Chang."

Xu Ying is Xu Gang's son, and Xu Gang has a good relationship with Chang Jun and the others, so it's perfectly normal for him to call Chang Jun "Uncle Chang".

Chang Jun smiled and said, "Xiao Ying, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Xu Ying responded and immediately told Chang Jun about what happened in Jin Sui City. Chang Jun listened quietly the whole time. After Xu Ying finished speaking, Chang Jun frowned and said, "So, after the people from the Creation God Sect left, the Creation God Sect didn't send anyone to Jin Sui City again, right?"

Xu Ying responded and then said, "The temples here have all been built, but the Temple of Creation is still empty. Since that day, the Creation Cult has not sent anyone to take over there."

Upon hearing Xu Ying's suggestion, Chang Jun thought for a moment and then said, "Here's what we'll do: after you've dealt with the matter in Jin Sui City, go to the next city and build a temple. See how the Creation God Cult reacts. If they retreat as soon as they see you building the temple, it means they're consolidating their forces and want us to expose more of themselves. If they still fight you in that city, it means that the Creation God Cult team you dealt with before was probably their elite force. They weren't confident they could defeat you under the rules of Jin Sui City, so they abandoned Jin Sui City."

Upon hearing Chang Jun's words, Xu Ying was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Chang, I understand. We'll make arrangements immediately and head to the next city."

Chang Jun nodded and then said, "I am quite confident in your strength, but you must be careful. The Creation God Cult has been able to exist in the Divine Kingdom for so many years, so their strength is still very formidable. There might really be some experts among them, so you must be careful. Although we can all be resurrected, it is best not to die if possible, otherwise it will have a certain impact on our mentality."

Xu Ying responded, and Chang Jun continued, "The Creation God Sect has suffered two losses at your hands, but that's because they are restricted by the rules of the Divine Kingdom. Everyone in the Divine Kingdom knows that your appearance is to deal with the Creation God Sect, so they will give you a relatively fair environment, and may even favor you a little. However, if you really grow stronger, such advantages may disappear. At that time, the Creation God Sect may attack you even more fiercely, so you must be more careful."

Xu Ying responded again, and Chang Jun continued, "No matter what, just be careful. Also, you can act in a high-profile manner to attract the attention of the Divine Kingdom as much as possible. The more attention the people of the Divine Kingdom pay to you, the safer we will be."

Xu Ying responded again. He was very clear about his role. They were there to attract the attention of the people in the Divine Kingdom, so they had to act in a high-profile manner. In fact, they were already acting very high-profile. Otherwise, he wouldn't have covered their territory with white mist as soon as he arrived in Jin Sui City.
