Bringing the farm to another world

At this moment, Uncle Yun arrived with several elders from the Ding family. These elders were all experts from the Ding family, and they knew what had happened to the Ding family, so their expressions were also very grim. The Ding family head glanced at them and then said, "You should all know what happened. I have already made an appointment with the other families. We will go out together and see if anyone dares to touch us. If anyone does, we will fight them. If no one touches us, we will go to the city lord's mansion to file a complaint. I want to see if the city lord will take this matter into consideration."

The group responded, and then the head of the Ding family waved his hand and walked out first. The elders followed behind him, and Uncle Yun also followed them. However, the head of the Ding family then spoke up: "Uncle Yun, you stay. If anything happens to us, let the Xing family temporarily take charge. Help him. We must not let the family fall into chaos."

Uncle Yun was taken aback, then he responded. The Xing family that the Ding family head mentioned was the Ding family head's son, but he was the second son. His eldest son was a county magistrate in the city, while his second son had already begun to help manage the family business.

Soon, the group left the Ding residence. As they walked out, the Ding family head and the others looked around, but of course, they couldn't see anything. At this time, Xu Ying also received the news that the heads of several families had come out in person. He immediately ordered that they not attack the heads of the families. It wasn't that he was afraid of the heads of the families, but that attacking them now would cause too much of a commotion. What he wanted was for the families to hand over the assets of the Creation God Sect, not to destroy them immediately. He believed that the city lord was definitely watching them now, and the city lord might have heard about what had happened to the families. If he even dealt with the heads of the families, the city lord would definitely intervene, and things would escalate. What he wanted now was for the families to bow down to him, not to make things worse.

As long as the heads of the families are safe, the city lord will not interfere. He needs evidence to do things, but unfortunately, they have no evidence at all, so even the city lord can't do anything to them.

The Ding family head and his group encountered no attacks and went directly to the city lord's mansion. Upon arrival, they immediately requested an audience with the city lord.

The city lord of Jinchuan City is a member of the Liu family, a prominent clan in the Divine Kingdom. The city lord, a disciple of the Liu family, has served as lord for many years. He is usually very low-key, but he is aware of everything happening in the city. Therefore, upon hearing that the Ding family head and his group had arrived, he knew why they were there. He didn't really want to get involved. In his opinion, the Ding family and their relatives were too greedy. Why did the Creation God Sect retreat? Because of the arrival of the Myriad Laws God Sect. The assets left behind by the Creation God Sect should naturally belong to the Myriad Laws God Sect, but unexpectedly, they were seized by the Ding family and their relatives. When Xu Ying went to buy them, they refused to sell. Now, they've been blocked, so they really can't blame the others.

However, he still had to give face to these families, so he had someone invite the Ding family head and the others to his study. Once they arrived, they immediately bowed to Lord Liu.

The city lord, whose full name was Liu Yi, looked to be in his fifties. His hair was meticulously styled, and he had a very serious demeanor. He waved his hand and said, "Please, gentlemen, don't stand on ceremony, have a seat." After thanking him, the group sat down.

After everyone was seated, Lord Liu looked at them and asked, "Gentlemen, what brings you here?" He knew the answer to this question, but he had to ask it anyway.

The head of the Ding family immediately bowed to Liu Yi and said, "City Lord, we have come here to accuse the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. The people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect have imprisoned our family members."

Liu Yi pretended to be taken aback, then said, "Is that so? No way, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect has never done anything like this before."

The head of the Ding family said, "It must be them. Yesterday, the bishop of the Myriad Laws Sect, Xu Ying, came to visit our families and said he wanted to buy our properties. We didn't sell to him, so he held a grudge. Today, people from our families have been disappearing one after another. It must be them."

Liu Yi frowned and said, "Patriarch Ding, you should know that everything requires evidence. Do you have any evidence now?"

The head of the Ding family shook his head and said, "No, but it must have been them. Our families have no enmity with anyone else. Recently, we've only had conflicts with them. Who else could it be but them?"

Liu Yi frowned and said, "Based on your imagination alone, there's no way to convict them, not to mention the formidable strength of the Myriad Laws Sect. If I were to imprison them without any evidence, it would cause a lot of trouble. Don't forget, there are quite a few of their followers in the city."

When the Ding family head and the others heard Liu Yi say this, they all fell silent. What evidence did they have? Although they knew that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was responsible for this, without evidence, they seemed to have no way to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect.

Liu Yi glanced at the group and then said, "It's not really my place to get involved in this matter. I think you should discuss it with the Wanfa Divine Sect."

The Ding family head and the others exchanged glances, their expressions turning even more grim. After a long while, the Ding family head finally spoke, "City Lord, we also want to have a proper talk with the Wanfa Divine Sect, but we're afraid they don't want to talk to us. Could you please do us a favor and invite the Wanfa Divine Sect members here so we can have a proper discussion and resolve this matter completely?"

Liu Yi didn't actually want to get involved in this matter, but since the various families had put it this far, it would seem disrespectful for him to ignore it. Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Alright, I can invite Bishop Xu here, but you must speak with him yourselves. Also, so far, you have no evidence to prove that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was responsible, so you'd better not act rashly. If you really initiate a war with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, then the responsibility will fall on your side. If the Myriad Laws Divine Sect really attacks you then, there's nothing I can do." The Ding family head and the others' expressions changed. The reason they dared to disrespect the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was because they believed that the sect wouldn't dare do anything to them in the city. In terms of true strength, they were no match for the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. Even the Creation Divine Sect had to bow down before the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, let alone them.

If the city lord really doesn't help them, and they have no evidence, then they really have no choice but to bow down to the Myriad Laws Sect. Although they are very unwilling, they have to do it. This makes the Ding family head and the others feel very uncomfortable, so their faces are very ugly.

Looking at their expressions, Liu Yi continued, "If you really want to talk to the Myriad Laws Sect, then have a proper talk. If not, then forget it and please leave."

The group exchanged glances, and then the Ding family head spoke up: "We agree to talk to them."

Liu Yi nodded, then said, "Alright, someone come here." As soon as he spoke, a servant walked in from outside the door. He bowed to Liu Yi, who said, "Go to the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws and invite Bishop Xu over." The servant responded, then bowed to Liu Yi and left the room.

A short while later, the servant returned to the room, bowed to Liu Yi, and said, "Master, Bishop Xu has arrived."

Liu Yi nodded, then said, "Please come in quickly."

The servant acknowledged and left the room. He then opened the door, and Xu Ying walked in. Xu Ying seemed quite surprised to see the Ding family head and the others. He immediately bowed to Liu Yi and said, "Greetings, City Lord, and greetings to the family heads."

Liu Yi stood up and returned the greeting. When the Ding family head and the others saw that Liu Yi had stood up to return the greeting, they also had no choice but to stand up and return the greeting to Xu Ying, but their expressions were not very pleasant.

Liu Yi smiled and said to Xu Ying, "Bishop Xu, the reason I invited you here today is to talk to you about the misunderstanding between you and the other families. Please sit down and let's talk."

After thanking him, Xu Ying sat down and then looked at Liu Yi with some confusion, saying, "City Lord, have you misunderstood? We don't have any misunderstandings with those families."

Liu Yi knew that Xu Ying would not admit it, so he smiled slightly and said, "There is no misunderstanding. It's just that the families have something to discuss with you." After saying that, he turned to look at the Ding family head and the others, and then said nothing more.

Xu Ying nodded, then turned to look at the Ding family head and the others, and said with a smile, "Family heads, what is it? Please speak frankly."

The head of the Ding family glared at Xu Ying with eyes blazing with fury, and said in a deep voice, "Bishop Xu, you really have some impressive skills. I wonder where our family's disciples are now?" The heads of the other families also looked at Xu Ying with angry expressions.

Xu Ying asked, puzzled, "What do you mean by that, Patriarch Ding? Have any of your family's disciples gone missing? I get the feeling you think I'm the one who caused your family's disciples to disappear? What does that have to do with me?"

The head of the Ding family looked at Xu Ying, then said in a deep voice, "Master Xu, let's not beat around the bush. What do you want in order to release our disciples?"

Xu Ying's face darkened, and then he stared at the Ding family head with eyes like lightning, before saying in a deep voice, "Ding family head, are you deaf? If your family's disciples are missing, go look for them. Why are you asking me for someone? Am I your family's maid?"

The Ding family head and his group were intimidated by Xu Ying's imposing aura and dared not speak for a moment. Liu Yi, observing their behavior, couldn't help but sigh inwardly. These people still hadn't grasped their place. Who did they think they were facing? Someone who could cause the Creation God Sect to suffer losses! For a few small families to think they could contend with the Myriad Laws God Sect was simply a pipe dream. These people had truly been ruling this small town for too long, forgetting how vast the outside world was. (End of Chapter)
