Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16256 The Problem
"It seems that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect still has methods that I don't know about. This Zhao Hai is very cunning. Is he guarding against me?" Gongliang Juewen said calmly to a eunuch standing in front of him.

The eunuch kept his head down and remained silent. Gongliang Juewen then spoke up, "Can you confirm what methods they used?"

The eunuch spoke up: "According to the findings of the men I sent, the most likely method they used was a magic array. And this array isn't just any ordinary array; it should be a hybrid array. At the very least, this array must have three functions: first, an illusion array to prevent outsiders from seeing the situation of that family; second, a barrier array to seal that family away, preventing them from escaping even if they wanted to; and third, a maze array. A maze array is a special kind of array, somewhat similar to an illusion array, but different. An illusion array creates hallucinations, while a maze array creates hallucinations along with a sense of disorientation, making people feel as if they are dreaming, in a state between dreaming and waking. Under normal circumstances, such arrays are very difficult to set up, and a hybrid array composed of three arrays is even more difficult to set up."

"If someone could set up these three magic arrays, could they really kill an entire family silently?"

"Your Majesty, it is possible. Illusion arrays, maze arrays, and barrier arrays combined are extremely powerful. The strongest point of this array is that it is a hybrid array. Although this array will have energy fluctuations, because of the illusion array and maze array, people generally cannot feel these energy fluctuations. Precisely because they cannot feel these energy fluctuations, they are easily caught in the trap. If the family's kingdom-level experts are not very strong, they may not be able to detect this array. Once they are caught in the trap, even if the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect enter their homes and kill them, they will not know. It is even possible that the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect can make the family members come out of their rooms and then kill them one by one."

Has anyone used this kind of magic array before?

"Your Majesty, yes, the most famous mixed array is actually our Wukong City. Our Wukong City has many arrays, including barrier arrays, defensive arrays, and illusion arrays. Mixed arrays don't have a fixed form. That is to say, as long as your array technique is strong enough, you can mix any number of arrays together. This is also the most terrifying aspect of mixed arrays. If you don't know what arrays are in this mixed array, you won't even be able to break it. Besides our Wukong City, another famous mixed array is Poison Dragon Valley."

"Poison Dragon Valley? That forbidden area? Is that a mixed magic array?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Poison Dragon Valley is a mixed magic array. Legend has it that there was once a sect that was skilled in using poison and established its headquarters there. However, the sect was destroyed due to internal strife, but its headquarters was preserved. It is a famous mixed magic array. Because all the people in that sect died, no one knows what kind of magic array was used there. Since no one knows what kind of magic array was used there, there is naturally no way to break the array. In addition, because of the internal strife in that sect, it is filled with all kinds of poisons, so no one dares to enter there easily. Gradually, it has become a forbidden area."

"I see. So, it seems there's someone in the Myriad Laws Divine Sect who knows how to use magic arrays, or rather, someone who knows how to set up magic arrays?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, setting up this mixed array is also very troublesome. It requires calculating the orientation, and each time it is set up, the orientation needs to be recalculated, which is very troublesome. It cannot be set up without someone who is proficient in arrays. There must be a master of arrays in the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, otherwise it would not be possible to set up the array in such a short time."

"Don't large-scale magic arrays usually take a long time to set up? Could it be that the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect can really set up such a large array in a short time?"

"In response to Your Majesty, this is indeed possible, but several conditions must be met. First, the person setting up the formation must be extremely proficient in formations. Second, they must have a long-term understanding of the environment. Third, they must make calculations in advance. Fourth, they must complete all preparations in advance. Once these four points are met, the person setting up the formation will have the formation already set up in their mind. When the time comes, they can simply have the formation symbols placed in the positions they have designated, and then perform simple adjustments to activate the formation. Therefore, setting up the formation requires a long period of preparation in advance."

"It seems I underestimated the Myriad Laws Cult. Very well, continue to send people to keep an eye on the Myriad Laws Cult and see what they do next."

"Yes, Your Majesty. But Your Majesty, the men I sent out still don't know where the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect are hiding. Ever since all the temples of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect were destroyed, the remaining members of the sect have gone into hiding, and no one knows where they are hiding. When they attacked the various aristocratic families, they appeared suddenly. I suspect that someone in each city is there to meet them."

"Can we find out who was there to meet them?"

"Your Majesty, the people I sent out are investigating. Right now, there's only one suspect: those who joined the Myriad Laws Cult for the sake of magic. Although they joined only to obtain three free magic techniques, and the Myriad Laws Cult doesn't seem to impose any restrictions on them, it's hard to guarantee that some of them genuinely want to join. If they truly want to join, they might become members, and it wouldn't be surprising if they helped the Myriad Laws Cult. But what's truly troubling is that there are just too many of them. No one knows who joined the Myriad Laws Cult, and even less does anyone know who genuinely joined and who didn't."

"In other words, we can't find out who exactly supported the Myriad Laws Cult?" "Yes, Your Majesty. There were far too many rogue cultivators who went to the Myriad Laws Cult to receive free spells, and after receiving the spells, they left immediately. Some even went directly to other cities, so there was no way to keep track of them or track them down. Under these circumstances, it is almost impossible to find out who among them supported the Myriad Laws Cult."

"Alright, have your men continue the investigation, and also have them keep a close eye on the Myriad Laws Cult. Now you can leave."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After saying this, the eunuch bowed to Gongliang Juewen and then left Gongliang Juewen's study.

Gongliang Juewen sat in his chair, lost in thought for a long while. Then he sighed softly and murmured, "What a pity." The reason he said it was a pity was that Zhao Hai and the others could not be used by him. If only Zhao Hai and the others could be used by him.

Meanwhile, Wan Hai was meeting with the heads of various families. Their matter with Gongliang Juewen was over, but their matter with the Wanfa Divine Sect was not. Moreover, they still hadn't figured out the methods used by the Wanfa Divine Sect this time, so Wan Hai and the others didn't look too good.

Wan Hai glanced at everyone and then asked, "Can everyone confirm whether those people from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect used a magic array or not?" This was the most frustrating thing for Wan Hai. A powerful family had been wiped out, and they still couldn't even determine what method the other party used. Although it seemed most likely that they used a magic array, it was only the most likely possibility. They still couldn't be completely certain whether they actually used a magic array.

At this moment, a family head said in a deep voice, "I have already sent the family's Supreme Elder to investigate. I believe we will have news soon." The speaker was from the Lu family. Their family had always been known for its magic arrays. After hearing that the aristocratic family might have been killed by the Myriad Laws Divine Sect using a magic array, he sent the family's Supreme Elder to investigate the situation, but there was still no news.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a jade slip, glanced at its contents, and then turned to Wan Hai and said, "It's confirmed. It's a magic array, a hybrid magic array. This kind of magic array is very powerful and extremely difficult to deal with."

Upon hearing this, Wan Hai frowned and said, "Is it really a magic array? So the Myriad Laws Divine Sect does indeed have people capable of setting up magic arrays? If we can't find all the people in the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, it will be very difficult to deal with them."

Everyone nodded. At this moment, a family head spoke up: "Let alone dealing with them now, it won't be easy to even find them. Those people from the Myriad Laws Cult have disappeared since all their temples were destroyed. Nobody knows where they went."

Everyone frowned. It was indeed true. Ever since all the temples of the Myriad Laws Cult were destroyed, the people of the Myriad Laws Cult had disappeared. They couldn't be found at all, so how could they be dealt with?

Thinking of this, the heads of each family frowned. This was the kind of opponent they feared most. You couldn't find them at all, and even if you wanted to deal with them, you had no way to do so.

Wan Hai continued, "Tell all the families to be on high alert. I really don't believe they'll stop building temples from now on. As long as they continue building temples, they'll eventually slip up, and then we'll deal with them. Until then, all we can do is prepare for defense."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, they couldn't find the Wanfa Divine Cult members, so how could they deal with them? They were completely helpless and could only passively defend themselves, which was their biggest headache.

At this moment, a family head spoke up: "Family Head Wan, could we ask the sect for help? They were involved in dealing with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect back then, and it's hard to guarantee that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect won't come after them in the future. If we ask the sect for help, they should be able to help us."
