Bringing the farm to another world

“Bishop Xu, please don’t mind. Patriarch Ding didn’t mean that. His disciples have gone missing, and he’s very anxious, which is why he misspoke. The Myriad Laws Sect is powerful, and since we’re in the same city, we have some mutual ties. So, these families want to ask Bishop Xu for help to see if he can find their missing disciples,” Liu Yi quickly smoothed things over.

Xu Ying's expression softened slightly. He then looked at the Ding family head and the others, and asked, "Is that what you mean?"

The group exchanged glances and could only nod in frustration. Only now did they realize that the person sitting in front of them was not some unaffiliated rogue cultivator, but a powerful expert with a strong background. Such a person could wipe out all of their families. If they acted recklessly, they would be courting death.

Looking at the group, Xu Ying said in a deep voice, "I can help, but I have conditions. My conditions are actually very simple: if we can help your families find those missing family disciples, you will sell the Creation Sect's assets to us at market price. How about that?"

Xu Ying stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table. His attitude left the Ding family head and the others looking at each other in bewilderment. They exchanged glances and then silently nodded.

The head of the Ding family turned his head, took a deep breath, and said to Xu Ying, "We agree. As long as you can help me find the disciples of our family, we are willing to sell the original properties of the Creation God Sect to you at market price."

Xu Ying nodded, then turned to Liu Yi and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "With the city lord here, he can act as our witness."

The group all nodded and turned to look at Liu Yi. Liu Yi looked at them and smiled slightly, saying, "Alright, I'll bear witness. If any of them change their minds later, Bishop Xu can come and find me."

Xu Ying nodded and said, "Okay, then it's settled. I'll head back now and arrange for someone to go and find the person right away." After saying that, he stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the group, and then turned and walked out.

Liu Yi and the others stood up, but they didn't see Xu Ying off. After Xu Ying left, Liu Yi turned to the Ding family head and the others and said, "It seems this matter has been resolved, but you must remember this lesson. You might not be so lucky next time. There are some people you can mess with, and some you can't. The sudden departure of the Creation God Sect from Jinchuan City, hasn't that made you realize that these people are not to be trifled with? In the future, before you provoke anyone, you should first consider your own strength."

None of them spoke, and their expressions were not good. However, they took Liu Yi's words to heart. This time, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect hadn't even made a move, yet they had already blocked their doors. They even believed that if it weren't for the fact that they didn't want things to get too ugly, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect would have already dealt with them. After all, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was not to be trifled with.

Liu Yi glanced at the group, then said in a deep voice, “Whether it’s the Myriad Laws Divine Sect or the Creation Divine Sect, they are both behemoths. Although the Myriad Laws Divine Sect only has three temples now, the fact that they can make the Creation Divine Sect back down already demonstrates their strength. Under these circumstances, what you should do is stand aside and watch, and not get involved in their affairs. The fact that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect agreed to buy back the Creation Divine Sect’s assets from you this time is already a great favor to you. It’s also possible that because they are not showing their full strength right now, and they also have to consider His Majesty’s opinion of them, they haven’t gone too far. If they don’t have so many concerns in the future, then what you are doing now will be courting death. Think about it carefully. There are some things that you cannot get involved in, and even we cannot get involved in.”

After saying that, Liu Yi glanced at the group and continued, "Alright, you can all go back now. I'm not going to keep you any longer. Remember, this is the last time I'll help you. But if something like this happens again, don't come looking for me."

Upon hearing Liu Yi's words, the Ding family head and the others were taken aback. They then stood up, bowed to Liu Yi, and left the room. After they left the city lord's mansion, the Ding family head glanced at the others and said, "Let's go back and wait for news. Let's see if the Wanfa Divine Sect will make things difficult for us. This time, we misjudged the situation. We must be more careful in the future."

The others all nodded, and then they parted ways to go home. However, when the Ding family head returned home, he saw Uncle Yun, who was standing in front of the Ding family's archway waiting for him. As soon as he saw him return, Uncle Yun immediately came forward and said with joy on his face, "Family head, all the missing people in the family have returned."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Ding family was taken aback, and then a look of confusion appeared on his face. He looked at Uncle Yun and asked, "You're saying that all the missing people have returned? What's going on?"

Uncle Yun shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but they've all really come back, sir. Should I let them come to see you?"

As the head of the Ding family walked towards his room, he said, "Have the team leaders come to my study. The rest of you, go back and rest. Also, Uncle Yun, go and organize all the assets we acquired from the Creation God Sect this time. If the Myriad Laws God Sect wants to buy them, sell them directly to them. Remember, just pay the market price, don't add any markup." Uncle Yun responded. The head of the Ding family had already returned to his study when the two team leaders arrived shortly after. One was an ordinary elite disciple of the Ding family, while the other was a kingdom-level expert. Upon seeing the head of the Ding family, they immediately bowed. The head of the Ding family waved his hand and said, "Alright, no need to be so polite, sit down." The two responded, bowed to the head of the Ding family, and then sat down.

After they sat down, the Ding family head looked at the two of them and said, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

The two exchanged a glance, and then the kingdom-level expert spoke up: "To be honest, patriarch, I still don't know what happened. I was ordered to lead the team out, but we hadn't gone far, just around the corner, when I suddenly found myself in a space. This space was very empty, only about a hundred meters long, wide, and high. The entire space was white, and the walls were very ordinary. There was nothing there. I tried attacking the walls, but it was useless. The walls didn't react at all. I don't know what happened. I don't even know how long I stayed there. Then I suddenly came out of that space. The place I came out of was the same corner I had just turned, and then I returned to the family."

The elite disciple of the Ding family nodded and said, "If it were the same as what the master said, I would say the same thing. The space I was in was just like that, and I was all alone in that space. All the people who were with me have disappeared."

The kingdom-level figure nodded and said, "Me too. When I entered that space, all the people who were with us disappeared. In other words, we were all separated. I asked those people, and their situation was the same."

Upon hearing their words, Patriarch Ding was stunned. He then looked at the two men with some surprise and said, "I really didn't expect things to turn out this way. Alright, you can go back now and get some rest." The two men responded, stood up, bowed to Patriarch Ding, and then turned and left.

After they left, a look of shock appeared on the face of the Ding family head. He really hadn't expected it to be like this. The thing that could do this was probably a special magic artifact. And this magic artifact could bring a kingdom-level expert inside silently, without the expert even knowing how he got in or out. That magic artifact was truly terrifying.

Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on his back. He realized he had seriously underestimated the Myriad Laws Divine Sect; it was far more terrifying than he had imagined. The thought of still wanting to confront such a force made him smile bitterly. He had overestimated himself. Fortunately, this matter was resolved; otherwise, the entire Ding family might have vanished.

Just then, a knock came at the door. The head of the Ding family came back to his senses, composed himself, and then said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Uncle Yun walked in from outside. He bowed to the Ding family head and said, "Master, the people from the Myriad Laws Sect just came by. As you said, I sold the Creation God Sect's properties to them at market price."

The head of the Ding family nodded, then said, "They paid."

Uncle Yun shook his head and said, "They didn't pay us money, they gave us crystals."

The head of the Ding family was taken aback, then he nodded and said, "Crystals are certainly better. You didn't take too many crystals from them, did you?"

Uncle Yun shook his head and said, "No, there is a discount for exchanging crystals for gold coins, so I gave them a discount as well. They seemed very satisfied and left after giving me the crystals."

The head of the Ding family nodded and said, "Alright, that's good. You may leave now." Uncle Yun responded, then bowed to the head of the Ding family before leaving the room.

Patriarch Ding was quite satisfied with Uncle Yun's handling of the situation. He was well aware that he had already offended the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. Even if they were to give the Creation Divine Sect's assets to the Myriad Laws Divine Sect now, the sect wouldn't immediately change its attitude towards them. Therefore, it was best for them to handle matters officially and then find ways to gradually ease their tensions with the sect later. Patriarch Ding was very pleased with Uncle Yun's approach; having worked with him for a long time, Uncle Yun always understood his thinking and handled things very well, which was why he trusted Uncle Yun so much.
