Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16226 Methods
The reason why those powerful families dared to disrespect the royal family was because they controlled most of the cities in the Divine Kingdom. The city lords of those cities were from the major families, while the lower-level officials were from the minor families. They were allies, so these families completely controlled those cities and integrated them with the royal family. As a result, it was impossible for Gongliang Juewen to deal with them, because if you wanted to deal with them, you would have to replace all the city lords and officials in those cities, which was almost impossible.

However, the actions of the Myriad Laws Sect this time made those aristocratic families realize how ridiculous their self-proclaimed control over everything was. The Myriad Laws Sect directly uprooted those aristocratic families.

Those smaller clans acted like peripheral nerves, helping the larger clans control the various cities of the divine kingdom. In turn, the larger clans helped the smaller clans by providing protection, which is why their alliance appeared so powerful.

This time, the Myriad Laws Sect's approach was to directly eliminate those minor clans, wiping them out completely in one fell swoop. The major clans' control over the cities was also wiped out in an instant. It can be said that the Myriad Laws Sect's actions struck at the Achilles' heel of those major clans, causing them enormous losses.

Those powerful families will no longer be able to control those cities. As a result, the industries they seized outside those cities will become rootless and adrift, making it much more difficult for them to control them.

You see, none of the businesses outside the city have teleportation arrays. You have to go into the city first, and then from the city to those businesses. But now there are no people in the city to meet them, so it has become very difficult for them to send people to those businesses.

The aristocratic families were already panicked, but they were helpless. Even if they seized all the properties outside the city belonging to the Myriad Laws Sect, it wouldn't make a difference, because the Myriad Laws Sect controlled the properties inside the city. Although the members of each aristocratic family were still the city lords, the lower-level officials in the city were no longer members of those families. Their influence in the city had almost disappeared, and their losses were enormous.

What troubled those aristocratic families even more was that after the Myriad Laws Cult wiped out those minor aristocratic families, they didn't seize the official positions. They only took control of the families' businesses, leaving the official positions to Gongliang Juewen. Gongliang Juewen used this opportunity to gain actual control of those cities. As a result, Gongliang Juewen would definitely support the Myriad Laws Cult, which would only be more disadvantageous for these aristocratic families.

However, those powerful families were also completely helpless, because all the temples of the Myriad Laws Sect were equipped with defensive arrays. Even for a kingdom-level expert, breaking through the defensive arrays of the Myriad Laws Sect was not an easy task. In other words, they had no way to deal with the Myriad Laws Sect.

Only then did those aristocratic families understand why the Creation God Sect had suffered losses at every turn when facing the Myriad Laws God Sect. It was because the Myriad Laws God Sect truly did not play by the rules. Those major aristocratic families never expected that when they attacked the Myriad Laws God Sect, the Myriad Laws God Sect would not attack them, but instead would directly target those minor aristocratic families. They had never encountered such an enemy before.

In the past, all the enemies that those aristocratic families encountered were directed at them. At the very least, there was a principle of assigning blame and debts to those who wronged them. If these aristocratic families attacked them, then those people would attack them in return. To be honest, those aristocratic families were not afraid of such enemies.

However, now that these powerful families have attacked the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, the sect has directly targeted the smaller families. This not only weakens the power of the powerful families but also diminishes their influence. Most importantly, the smaller families are allied with the powerful families. They help the powerful families for two reasons: first, to establish a relationship so that the powerful families can help them in the future; and second, for profit. The powerful families won't use them for free; once they reap the benefits, they will share some with the smaller families. In other words, the powerful families get the lion's share, while the smaller families get a small portion.

But what about now? Now those minor families have lost their entire families' lives over a single bowl of soup. If the major families want those minor families to do anything for them in the future, those minor families will have to think carefully about what the consequences will be if they actually help. This will greatly weaken the influence of the major families, which is quite terrifying.

What unsettles the powerful clans even more is that the Myriad Laws Sect's actions have set a precedent for Gongliang Juewen. Previously, Gongliang Juewen only focused on the powerful clans, aiming to weaken their influence. He would suppress them, and they would unite against him, leaving him powerless. But now, the Myriad Laws Sect has served as a wake-up call. They should stop focusing solely on the powerful clans; the smaller clans might be the foundation. Eliminating the smaller clans would weaken the larger ones. If Gongliang Juewen truly understands this, he will undoubtedly target the smaller clans, completely weakening their power and rendering them unable to oppose him as before.

It can be said that the Wanfa Divine Sect's move this time really hit the weak spot of those powerful families. Most importantly, Gongliang Juewen reacted even faster than them, and directly sent people to take control of those cities. Although those powerful families still have industries outside the cities, without those cities as a foothold, those industries outside the cities will eventually fall into the hands of others.

Upon seeing this situation, the five major families immediately summoned all their members together. The members of the smaller families were not qualified to attend their meeting, so the families attending the meeting were the same as before, seemingly without any loss. However, the expressions on their faces were extremely solemn.

The Jiang family patriarch glanced at everyone and then said, "I think you all know what the Myriad Laws Divine Sect has done. To be honest, I really didn't expect the Myriad Laws Divine Sect to be so ruthless, directly wiping out all those minor families. Now we have become very passive. I would like to hear everyone's opinions on what we should do next."

The group exchanged glances but said nothing. To be honest, they didn't have any good solutions. It was true that the Myriad Laws Cult had killed too many people, but Gongliang Juewen had benefited from it, so he was unlikely to help them. Moreover, the Myriad Laws Cult was the victor in the struggle against the minor families, and the victors would not be punished.

Looking at everyone's expressions, the Jiang family head's face darkened, but he said nothing and waited quietly. After a while, one of the family heads finally spoke up: "Now, in the cities where the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws exists, almost all the small families have been wiped out. Too many people have died, but His Majesty doesn't seem to blame the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws at all, because His Majesty has gained the greatest benefit. However, it is precisely because of this that we need to retaliate even more, otherwise, the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws will turn against us. So my idea is to send people directly into those cities and destroy the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws no matter what."

“No, the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws is equipped with defensive arrays. When the people of the Creation God Cult were fighting against the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws, they also considered breaking through the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws' defensive arrays, but they later found it was not worthwhile, so they did not do so in the end. Moreover, the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws' defensive arrays are too strong. If we want to break through the defensive arrays, we will hurt other people in the city. At that time, His Majesty will have a reason to deal with us, which will only be more disadvantageous to us.”

Everyone fell silent once again. They all knew that the patriarch was right. What troubled them most now was that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect had set up too many defensive formations, and it would be extremely difficult for them to break through them.

At this moment, a family head spoke up: "I do have a plan. The headquarters of the Myriad Laws Sect is not in the city. Although the defenses there are certainly stronger, if we can concentrate all our forces and break through their headquarters in one fell swoop, killing everyone there, the pressure on the Myriad Laws Sect will be immense. If we can kill the sect leader, the Myriad Laws Sect will be finished. However, to destroy the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Sect, we need more manpower. All families must contribute. Then we will definitely be able to wipe out the Myriad Laws Sect."

Upon hearing his words, the heads of the five major families were initially taken aback, but then their eyes lit up. They felt that what the family head said was absolutely right. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect was indeed very strong, but its headquarters was not in the city. As long as it was not in the city, no matter how they attacked the headquarters, they would not harm innocent people. In this way, they could exert their full strength. If they could really destroy the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, then the Myriad Laws Divine Sect would be finished.

The Xie family head said in a deep voice, "That is indeed a good idea. Although he said that destroying the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect would be troublesome, if we really succeed, then the Myriad Laws Divine Sect will be finished. Does anyone have any good ideas?"

Upon hearing his words, the other family heads understood the meaning of the five major families. They had agreed to use this method, which relieved them all. They had been completely helpless before, but now they had a solution. All they needed to do was refine the method, which put their minds at ease.
