Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16210 is exactly the same.

"What? You mean, all the people we sent to Qingmu City are dead?"

"It was the cult leader. They're all dead, not a single one alive. It's certain that the Zhang family was behind it."

"Good, good for the Zhang family. It really was them. It seems they were the ones who attacked our temple as well?"

"In response to the leader, we cannot yet confirm whether all of our people in Qingmu City were poisoned, which is similar to the Zhang family's method of killing. However, the disciples in the temple were all killed by having their throats slit, which is different from the Zhang family's method of killing."

"Whether it was them or not, they were the ones who killed people this time, so we can't let them get away with it. I remember the Zhang family has some businesses in other places, right? Eliminate those businesses for me."

"Yes, Master."

"Report, Master, all the people we sent to monitor the Hua family are dead. They were all poisoned."

"Good, good, the Hua family. One by one, they really don't take my Creation God Sect seriously. Very well, I want to see if you have the guts to start a war with us. Go, wipe out the Hua family's businesses as well."

"Yes, Master."

"You mean the Creation God Cult attacked our family's property?"

"Yes, patriarch. It's not just our family, but also the Hua family's businesses. I heard they sent people to monitor the Hua family, and the Hua family killed their people in return. In retaliation, they attacked the Hua family's businesses."

"Well, well, the Creation God Cult, you really don't take us seriously. You were the ones who provoked us first, and now you dare to retaliate. You're courting death. Pass down the order to strengthen the defenses of all our family's businesses, especially the core businesses. We must protect them and not let the Creation God Cult destroy them. If they dare to destroy those businesses, we will fight them to the death."

"Yes, master."

After the person left, Zhang Ren's expression softened. He pondered for a moment, then took out a communication array and a jade slip. After inputting some information into the jade slip, he placed it into the communication array and sent it out.

After the jade slip was sent out, Zhang Ren waited there. Soon, a jade slip appeared on the communication array. Zhang Ren picked up the jade slip, glanced at its contents, and a smile appeared on his face. Then he said in a deep voice, "Someone come here."

As he spoke, a man walked in from outside the door. This man bowed to Zhang Ren and said, "Master of the family."

Zhang Ren said in a deep voice, "Please invite the elders to come for a meeting." The man responded, then bowed to Zhang Ren before turning and leaving. A short while later, several elders of the Zhang family entered the room. They all bowed to Zhang Ren, who nodded and said in a deep voice, "Please sit down." They all responded and sat down. After they were seated, Zhang Ren began, "I think you all know about what has happened in the family recently, right?"

After speaking, he looked at the group of people, who all nodded. Zhang Ren then continued, "The Hua family has encountered the same situation as ours, exactly the same. I just sent a letter to the Hua family head, who said that their family's businesses were attacked first, then they discovered members of the Creation God Cult, and then they killed them. The Creation God Cult then began to retaliate against them, almost exactly the same as ours. What are your thoughts on this matter?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they looked at each other. One of the elders spoke up, "If it were just our family acting like this, we could say it was a misunderstanding. But now that both families are acting like this, then this is definitely not a misunderstanding. There must be something strange about this."

Everyone else nodded in agreement. Just as the elder had said, if only their family was like this, it might still be a misunderstanding. But if both families were like this, then there was definitely something strange about the matter.

Zhang Ren nodded, then said, "Go on."

The elder responded and then said, "I think there are only two possibilities. First, someone is trying to sow discord between us and the Creation God Cult. They know about our relationship with the Creation God Cult, so they want to sow discord between us and the Creation God Cult. That's why they implemented this plan. The plan is very simple. They kill our family members first. We will definitely investigate. Once we start investigating, we will find people from the Creation God Cult. We have conflicts with the Creation God Cult. Once we find their people, they will definitely think that they are the ones who killed our family members. Then we will deal with them. Even if we know that they are not the ones who did it, we will still deal with them. When the people from the Creation God Cult find out that we have dealt with their people, they will retaliate. In this way, our two sides will go to war, and then they can reap the benefits."

"Another possibility is that this was done by the Creation God Cult. The Creation God Cult set a trap. They deliberately sent people to our place to kill our disciples, and then let us discover their people. This way, we would retaliate against them, and they would have an excuse to deal with us."

"But if the Creation God Cult orchestrated this themselves, what is their purpose? They are currently fighting with the Myriad Laws God Cult, and it seems they are consistently at a disadvantage. Provoking us at this time would not benefit them at all. They have no reason to do this."

"Actually, there's a reason. It's because they were at a disadvantage in their struggle against the Myriad Laws Sect that they started their war against us. Their continuous losses have severely damaged their reputation. The Creation Sect has many enemies, not just us and the Hua family. If their other enemies discover how weak they are now, they probably won't let them off the hook. So they need an enemy, someone weaker than themselves, someone they can handle. That's why they chose us and the Hua family." "While our two families aren't weak, they're definitely not strong enough to compete with the Creation God Cult. Although our poisons might cause them some trouble, if the Creation God Cult were to engage in a war of attrition, we'd be the first to succumb. The Creation God Cult has as many members as we do; we simply can't win a war of attrition. It's precisely because we can't win that they chose us. They want to use us to establish their authority, to show everyone that they are still very strong and not easily defeated."

Zhang Ren frowned upon hearing the elder's words. The elder was right. Although his family and the Hua family were renowned and powerful, ranking among the aristocratic families, they were far inferior to the Creation God Sect. Even if the two families joined forces, they would not be a match for the Creation God Sect. If the Creation God Sect were to engage in a war of attrition, it could truly wear them down. In this way, the Creation God Sect would establish its authority, essentially telling others, "See? We are still very strong. The reason we suffered losses at the hands of the Myriad Laws God Sect was not because we were weak, but because the Myriad Laws God Sect was too strong. So don't mess with us."

This situation is not impossible. In fact, many people in the world do this. It's just human nature. If you are beaten by a strong and powerful person and you can't fight back because you can't beat them, what do you do? Find someone weaker than you, beat them up, and let everyone see that you can still fight and that you can still take on people. In this way, some timid people will not dare to mess with you anymore.

Therefore, it is not impossible for the Creation God Cult to do such a thing. However, if the Creation God Cult really did this, then it is really troublesome. It means that the Creation God Cult really wants to deal with them. No matter what they do, this battle is inevitable.

Zhang Ren said, "If this matter was really orchestrated by the Creation God Sect, then we are in real trouble. You should also know that even if we join forces with the Hua family, we are no match for the Creation God Sect."

Everyone nodded. Then an elder spoke up, "Actually, if this matter was instigated by someone else, it's even more troublesome. Who exactly instigated it? Judging from the current situation, there are only three possibilities: First, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. But I think that's unlikely, because the Myriad Laws Divine Sect has only recently developed, and their goal has always been very clear: to deal with the Creation Divine Sect. In their struggle against the Creation Divine Sect, they have always been on the winning side. I heard that recently they even made a bet with the Creation Divine Sect: if they build a new temple, they will wager with the Creation Divine Sect. This is..." For the Myriad Laws Cult, this situation is advantageous. Under such circumstances, they have no reason to provoke us again; there's no need. Provoking us brings them no benefit whatsoever, except for creating another enemy. They might hope we'll wage war against the Creation Cult, but they already hold the upper hand in their struggle against the Creation Cult. If they were at a disadvantage, hoping we would fight the Creation Cult to alleviate their pressure would be understandable, but they are currently in a superior position, so there's absolutely no need for them to do so. Therefore, I think the Myriad Laws Cult is unlikely to be involved.”

Everyone nodded, and then the elder spoke up: "Secondly, it could be people from those sects. That's possible. Those sects also have grudges against the Creation God Sect, but the Creation God Sect is quite powerful. If they were to directly wage war against the Creation God Sect, they might suffer losses. So they're trying to sow discord between us and the Creation God Sect, making us wear each other down. And let's not forget, when we talk about sects now, we always think of them as a whole. In reality, those sects are all independent entities, just like our various aristocratic families. When people talk about aristocratic families, they think we're a whole, an alliance, but we all know that we have conflicts among ourselves. The same goes for those sects. So those sects don't necessarily all want to deal with the Creation God Sect, so it's possible that they're trying to sow discord between us."
