Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16189 Testing
There are many ways to send a message. Beating up the other party is also a way to send a message. The Myriad Laws Cult can use this method to send a message to the Creation Cult, telling the Creation Cult that the location of our battle has changed.

Therefore, the first attack on the properties of the Creation God Cult should not be too fierce. Just make a token attack, without actually capturing the properties, and then retreat. Give the Creation God Cult some time to make preparations. Once they have made their preparations, then launch another attack.

After deciding on how to attack the Creation God Cult, Xu Ying and his group concluded the meeting and began preparing for the attack.

Of course, they wouldn't accept just these one hundred cities. Although the Creation God Sect had ceded them as a warning, it wasn't a reason for them to stop. They had two crucial reasons preventing them from stopping after acquiring these one hundred cities. First, Gongliang Juewen was watching. The Creation God Sect had ceded one hundred cities, but these weren't large cities. In the Divine Kingdom, there were countless small cities like these. For the Creation God Sect, ceding one hundred was insignificant, merely a drop in the ocean. Furthermore, the Myriad Laws Sect was initially able to preach here because they had Gongliang Juewen's permission. Liang Juewen allowed them to preach in order to use them as a counterbalance to the Creation God Cult. If they were bought off by such a small benefit from the Creation God Cult, they would lose Liang Juewen's support. If Liang Juewen directly revoked their preaching qualifications, it would have a significant impact on the Blood Slaughter Sect's future actions. Therefore, Liang Juewen was definitely watching this matter closely. He wanted to see how the Myriad Laws God Cult would react to the Creation God Cult's concession. Would they continue to help him counterbalance the Creation God Cult, or would they accept the current situation and cease hostilities with the Creation God Cult? If they made a mistake, the corresponding punishment would follow.

Secondly, their original goal was to share the world equally with the Creation God Cult. They needed to control at least half of the cities in the Divine Kingdom and build temples in those cities to achieve their goal; otherwise, they would never stop.

It is precisely because of these two reasons that they absolutely cannot stop fighting with the Creation God Cult; they are determined to fight.

The people of the Creation God Cult also wanted to know how the Myriad Laws God Cult would attack next, and they had already made preparations to deal with all kinds of attacks from the Myriad Laws God Cult.

The day after Xu Ying and his group finished their meeting, a group of people attacked a mine outside the city belonging to the Creation God Cult. However, they only attacked the mine once before retreating. Although the mine suffered some damage, the losses were not significant.

The Creation God Cult received the news quickly, and the guards of the mine who relayed the message clearly stated that the attackers were from the Myriad Laws God Cult. They were wearing Myriad Laws God Cult clothing and using the same attack methods as the Myriad Laws God Cult.

After listening to his subordinates' report, the head of the Creation God Cult frowned. He then invited several stewards from the temple to his room. Once they were in, he glanced at them and said, "We just received news that one of our mines outside the city was attacked by members of the Myriad Laws God Cult. However, the damage to the mine is not significant. What are your thoughts on this?"

Upon hearing his words, the managers were all taken aback. Then they all frowned, and one of them spoke up: "The Divine Kingdom has issued an order that no fighting is allowed in the city. If we fight in the city now, the Divine Kingdom will definitely punish us. So we can't fight in the city. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect obviously feels the same way, so they went outside the city to attack us. These guys really haven't given up their evil intentions."

"That's not right. With the strength of the Myriad Laws Sect, there's no way they couldn't take over a mine. Could someone be framing them?"

"No, it must be the Myriad Laws Cult that made the move. The reason they did this is to tell us that they have chosen our properties outside the city as the battleground. They will target those properties, and if we cannot defend them, they will seize them. In the end, we will only have this temple in the city left. If it really comes to that, whether we stay or leave will be meaningless. The reason they did not breach our mine is not because our defenses are strong, but because they never intended to take it. They want to use this incident to show us what our fighting style will be like in the future. You could say it is a declaration of war. And they are quite careful not to attack us directly, and they have even given us time to react."

"So you mean the Myriad Laws Cult is informing us that their next move is to target our properties outside the city, and the battlefield has shifted outside the city? If we can't defend our properties outside the city, then we should leave?"

“I think that’s what it means. Otherwise, with the strength of the Myriad Laws Sect, it’s impossible that they couldn’t even take over a small mine. There’s obviously something wrong here, and only this explanation makes sense.”

"Alright, then we'll report this matter immediately and see how the sect will handle it." After saying that, the abbot took out a jade slip, entered some information into it, and then teleported it away. They then waited there for news.

Soon a jade slip appeared on the communication array. The abbot picked up the jade slip, looked at it carefully, and his expression relaxed. Then he turned to the other elders in charge and said, "The sect agrees with our analysis. They will send people over as soon as possible to guard the mine."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The abbot then said, "Clean up the temple properly so we can welcome them." Everyone responded, and they immediately went outside. They then gave the order for the disciples of the Creation God Sect to begin cleaning the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws, just like cleaning up before a leader's inspection.

The next day, reinforcements from the Creation God Cult arrived. This time, the Creation God Cult was truly serious. Their reinforcements were divided into two groups. The first group arrived directly through the city's teleportation array and went straight to the Creation God Temple to rest. The second group flew over directly. These people did not enter the city but went directly to the Creation God Cult's properties outside the city. They were preparing to ambush the Myriad Laws God Cult.

Although the Myriad Laws Cult had previously informed them of their actions by attacking their mines, which they considered quite sophisticated, this did not prevent them from plotting against the Myriad Laws Cult.

The fact that they are secretly increasing the defenses of the industries outside the city is a kind of calculation, but it is a normal calculation, not a particularly insidious one. It is a normal military action, so they don't see anything wrong with it.

In fact, Xu Ying and his group had already seen through their actions. They had long ago sent people to monitor all of the Creation God Sect's properties outside the city, so it's not surprising that they knew about this.

Xu Ying didn't find anything strange about the Creation God Cult's actions; in fact, they were the normal thing to do.

Xu Ying wasn't in a hurry. It could be said that their battle with the Creation God Cult had only just begun. Their previous battles with the Creation God Cult were merely a process of mutual probing. The reason the Creation God Cult retreated wasn't because they were afraid, but rather out of respect for Gongliang Juewen. The establishment of the Myriad Laws God Cult was permitted by Gongliang Juewen. If the Creation God Cult attacked them with all its might as well, wouldn't that be too disrespectful to Gongliang Juewen? Wouldn't Gongliang Juewen think that the Creation God Cult was targeting him? Then he could openly and legitimately deal with the Creation God Cult. Therefore... The people of the Divine Transformation Sect only ceded one hundred cities because they were giving Gongliang Juewen face. After that, it would be a real fight. If they fought at this point, Gongliang Juewen wouldn't be able to say anything. "I've already given you face by ceding one hundred cities. If you want me to cede more, that's not fair. The Divine Transformation Sect isn't one to be trifled with. With our current strength, even if we're no longer the state religion, we can still live very well. If you really provoke us, we can go from open to covert operations or cause trouble, which would be enough to give the Divine Kingdom a hard time."

Most importantly, the people of the Creation God Cult were well aware that Gongliang Juewen would never allow them to cause trouble. If they did, what would those sects that had been suppressed do? What would those aristocratic families do? The Gongliang family alone could not possibly deal with the people of the Creation God Cult. Once the power of other aristocratic families was mobilized, what would be the consequences? Would those aristocratic families hold military power and declare themselves kings, and would the Gongliang family still be able to command the world? Therefore, Gongliang Juewen would not do that, and they were also testing each other.

It can be said that this battle between the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and the Creation Divine Sect is not only a battle between them, but also a mutual test between Gongliang Juewen and the Creation Divine Sect. Everyone is actually looking for a balance, it's just a matter of who finds it better.

The members of the Creation God Cult were well aware that Gongliang Juewen was watching them closely. Xu Ying and the others understood this as well. The next step was to see how the battle between the two sides unfolded. If the Myriad Laws God Cult could continue to suppress the Creation God Cult, it would mean that Gongliang Juewen had made the right move. However, if the Myriad Laws God Cult failed to suppress the Creation God Cult and was instead defeated by it, then the Myriad Laws God Cult would be finished, and they would no longer receive any support from Gongliang Juewen.

Moreover, Xu Ying believed that Gongliang Juewen was not the only one watching their battle. People from other aristocratic families and sects were also watching them closely. They were like wild wolves, all drooling as they watched these two beasts fight. Once the battle was over, they would probably rush in and try to get a share of the spoils.
