Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16225 Counterattack
Don't underestimate the importance of a platform. With the Alliance of Clans, many clans can find allies when they do something. Just like this time, the five major clans wanted to deal with the Myriad Laws Cult. They only needed to make a call on the platform, and many clans would be willing to work with them. They only needed to agree on how to distribute the benefits, and then they could take action against the Myriad Laws Cult.

In fact, the sect alliance works the same way. It's impossible for all sects to mobilize every time something happens, as there are simply too many sects. Therefore, the sect alliance is also a platform that allows all sects to find allies.

While the aristocratic alliance was making preparations, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was also making preparations. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect's preparations were very simple. They simply strengthened the defenses of some industries and temples, and at the same time, they made moves on some small cities. Their move on those small cities was very simple: they turned all the people in those small cities into their own people.

The Blood Slaughter Sect has always had this habit: they don't like the presence of people who don't belong to them on their territory. Therefore, they will definitely turn everyone on their territory into their own people. The situation of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is already an exception, because in many cities where the Myriad Laws Divine Sect's temples are located, only a small number of rogue cultivators are members of the Blood Slaughter Sect, and the rest are not. Xu Ying wants to take advantage of this opportunity to turn all the people in some small towns into their own people.

"How are the preparations going with those aristocratic families?"

"Your Majesty, those aristocratic families are almost ready. It seems they will make their move against the Myriad Laws Sect soon."

What was the reaction of the Myriad Laws Cult?

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Myriad Laws Sect is not reacting much. They have only strengthened the defenses of some industries and transferred more people to those industries. Apart from that, I don't see any other preparations they have made."

"Fool, those guys from the Myriad Laws Cult don't think those aristocratic families will be polite to them. Fine, let them suffer some losses and they'll behave. In any case, they can weaken those families' power, which is also a good thing for us."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Go ahead and keep an eye on them. I want to see how strong those people are."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Everyone, we've been discussing this for several days now. We've already broken ties with the Myriad Laws Sect. After these few days of discussion, we've all decided on how to attack them. Shouldn't we take action now? The Myriad Laws Sect must have made preparations these past few days. The later we attack, the better they'll prepare, and the greater the losses for each sect's disciples will be. I don't think anyone wants that, right? So, shouldn't we take action now?"

The speaker was the head of the Xie family. Upon hearing what the head of the Xie family said, the other family members all nodded in agreement. Then, one of the family heads spoke up, saying, "What the head of the Xie family says makes sense. We should indeed take action now, otherwise, we will suffer great losses when we try to act later."

This time, no one objected. The Xie family head glanced at everyone and said, "We have already assigned each family which city the Myriad Laws Divine Sect will attack. If no one has any objections, then let's go back. We'll prepare for today and attack on time tomorrow night. Even if we can't wipe out the Myriad Laws Divine Sect this time, we must make them hand over most of their assets. Not wiping out the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is to give His Majesty face, but we must take back those assets."

Everyone responded, and then one of the families spoke up: "But this time, we have to carry out the operation in the city. Won't His Majesty blame us for that?"

"Don't worry, with so many of us acting together, His Majesty will definitely not blame us, so you don't need to worry."

"Okay, let's go back and prepare. We'll set off on time tomorrow."

No one objected, so everyone stood up, clasped their hands in a fist salute, and left. However, the head of the Xie family did not leave, because this was his home, and the meeting was being held at the Xie family residence.

The following night, all the powerful families were ready. They had already made arrangements with the smaller families in the city, who would cooperate with their actions. The larger families, through these smaller families, secretly sent their people into the city, waiting for the night's operation. As darkness fell, everyone awaited the attack. Finally, at the hour of Hai (9-11 PM), the families began their coordinated attack, as agreed upon.

At the hour of Hai (9-11 PM), all the members of those aristocratic families attacked the temple of the Myriad Laws Cult. However, they were stunned when they attacked the temple, because they then discovered that the temple was protected by a magic array.

Everyone was stunned. They never expected that the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws would be protected by a magic array. It was only then that they remembered that the Sect of Ten Thousand Laws seemed to be very good at setting up magic arrays, especially defensive ones. When they were fighting with the Sect of Creation, they even set up magic arrays at some of their properties. However, they later had too many properties, so they stopped setting up magic arrays at those properties. But now they were attacking the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws, so of course they would set up a magic array.

Those aristocratic families wanted to try and see if they could break the magic array, but after several attempts they found it impossible. Breaking the array would cause too much noise and might injure ordinary people in the city. If they did injure ordinary people in the city, the royal family would not let them off the hook. So they had to give up attacking the temple of the Myriad Laws Cult.

Those who attacked the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws immediately contacted their families to see if the attacks on other places were going smoothly. They soon received news that the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws had only set up defensive formations at the temple in the city, but not at the properties outside the city. Therefore, all of the properties of the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws outside the city had been taken over by those powerful families.

It can be said that the Wanfa Divine Sect suffered a great loss that night. Not only did a large number of disciples die, but they also lost a large amount of property.

Everyone is watching this closely, wondering what the Myriad Laws Cult will do next, including the powerful families.

To the surprise of those aristocratic families, the Myriad Laws Sect reacted the very next day. The sect declared war on all aristocratic families that had attacked them, and that anyone who had helped them would also be their enemy, with a fight to the death.

After the statement was issued, the members of those aristocratic families all laughed. In their view, the people of the Myriad Laws Cult were just afraid, so they issued such a statement to scare them. But they really didn't care. Did they think that the people of the Myriad Laws Cult could really wipe out all of them?

But those aristocratic families quickly understood the intentions of the Myriad Laws Cult and realized what they really wanted to do.

Instead of directly attacking the properties of the major families, the Myriad Laws Cult launched attacks on the smaller families in all the cities with Myriad Laws Temples. The reason was simple: the smaller families had helped the major families fight against them, so they wanted to retaliate.

Moreover, this attack was carried out almost simultaneously, wiping out all the minor families in those cities without leaving a single survivor. All the businesses of those minor families in the cities were also taken over by the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. Most importantly, they attacked those minor families at the same time, and the minor families in more than a thousand cities were wiped out by the Myriad Laws Divine Sect.

Their actions stunned everyone from the powerful families. They hadn't expected the Myriad Laws Sect to act in such a ruthless manner. While these powerful families were strong, the smaller families were also crucial components. If the powerful families were spiders, then the smaller families were the webs they wove. Now, with that web destroyed, they could no longer use it for hunting, effectively losing control of the cities.

The reason why those aristocratic families gave Gongliang Juewen a headache was because of the existence of these smaller aristocratic families. These smaller families also considered themselves aristocratic families, so they naturally wanted to get close to the larger aristocratic families. They were not very close to the royal family. It can be said that the royal family was very troubled by the combination of these large and small aristocratic families.

Moreover, because there were simply too many people from those minor aristocratic families, and because they controlled some important positions in the city, Gongliang Juewen was very wary of them and therefore had no way to ruthlessly eliminate them.

However, the Myriad Laws Cult didn't care about any of that. They simply wiped out all those minor clans. As for whether the city lords would have no one to rely on after wiping out those minor clans, they didn't care. In any case, they wiped out all those minor clans, which created a power vacuum at the grassroots level in many cities, causing those city lords a great headache.

However, upon hearing this news, Gongliang Juewen's eyes lit up. He immediately dispatched many members of the royal family to those cities to take over their positions. This action greatly surprised the aristocratic families who had not yet reacted. They truly did not expect Gongliang Juewen to do such a thing. In this way, although the city lords of many cities were still members of these great aristocratic families, the lower-level officials all became members of the royal family. This was equivalent to the control of those cities returning to the hands of the royal family. Now those aristocratic families were truly afraid.
