Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16260 Waiting for a Rabbit to Run into a Tree Stump
“Strike first is indeed a good idea, but there’s a problem. We’d like to strike first, but we can’t find any members of the Myriad Laws Sect. All of their temples have been destroyed, and their former headquarters was the first to be destroyed. After that, nobody knows where the Myriad Laws Sect members have gone. So even if we wanted to strike first, we can’t.” A sect leader frowned and said.

Qingxuan thought for a moment, then said, "Then let's find them. If that doesn't work, we can contact those aristocratic families. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect has been targeting those families, and they will definitely want to retaliate against the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. If we join forces with them, find those members of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, and then deal with them, they will definitely be willing."

All the sect leaders nodded, and Qingxuan said in a deep voice, "I will contact those aristocratic families. You all go and notify all the sects to search for the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect together. I really don't believe that with so many sects like ours, we can't find the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect."

Everyone nodded again, and then Qingxuan spoke up once more: "Alright, everyone go back now. Once you're back, inform everyone that you must dig out the people from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect."

The group responded, then stood up, bowed to Qingxuan, and turned to leave. After they left, Qingxuan immediately sent a letter to Wan Hai, expressing his desire to cooperate with him and act together.

Wan Hai received Qing Xuan's letter. After glancing at its contents, he replied to Qing Xuan without hesitation. In the letter, he made it clear that they would resolve their grievances with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect themselves, and Qing Xuan need not worry about it. If Qing Xuan wanted to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, he should do it himself.

When Qingxuan saw the letter, his eyes narrowed involuntarily. He hadn't expected Wan Hai to say such a thing. Moreover, he discerned something else from the letter: those aristocratic families wanted to sever ties with them.

Thinking back to the destruction of the Gongsun family and the five major families, Qingxuan instantly understood Wan Hai's meaning: their aristocratic families no longer wanted to have anything to do with them.

Upon thinking of this, Qingxuan's expression changed. He immediately wrote to the sect leaders of the other sects, informing them that the aristocratic families no longer wanted to cooperate with them. They must have received a warning from Gongliang Juewen. It seemed that dealing with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect would have to be done by them on their own.

The people from those sects quickly replied to Qingxuan, saying that they had already made arrangements for everyone to keep searching for the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, and that they would definitely find it.

Qingxuan and the others were well aware that this conflict between the aristocratic families and the royal family ended with the aristocratic families bowing down. Therefore, the aristocratic families would definitely agree to some conditions of the royal family and no longer cooperate with them. Obviously, this was one of the conditions. However, there was some good news. The royal family also informed them that each clan could select some people to serve as officials in the court. Although the number was not large, it was still much better than before.

Qingxuan and the others had long been used to being suppressed by the royal family. Now, they were only being prevented from associating with people from aristocratic families, which was already very good, and they were already very happy.

However, they still had to deal with the Myriad Laws Cult. They had to eliminate the Myriad Laws Cult, otherwise, the Myriad Laws Cult would definitely come after them in the future. They didn't want to be passively attacked all the time, so they had no choice but to strike first. They believed that they would definitely be able to find the Myriad Laws Cult.

The reason why these people in the sect alliance are so confident is that their development direction is very different from that of the aristocratic families. The aristocratic families generally develop in the city, where they are closely connected with ordinary people. Although they also have industries outside the city, their power outside the city is far inferior to that inside the city.

Sects are different. Their power is generally located outside the city. They rely on markets and industries outside the city to grow and expand. They all have their own territory, and in their territory, there are ordinary people. These ordinary people are the source of their new blood. Of course, they also need to recruit some disciples in various cities, but under normal circumstances, the number is not too large. Most of the time, they will recruit some new people to join them from various markets. And in those markets, there are almost no ordinary people, but more of them are rogue cultivators.

In fact, both the royal family and those aristocratic families underestimated the influence of sects. On the surface, sects may not seem very strong, but their true influence is actually quite large, especially among rogue cultivators. If those sects were to spread the word that as long as rogue cultivators helped them attack those aristocratic families, anyone who killed a member of an aristocratic family, regardless of their strength, could join the sect, then countless rogue cultivators would attack those aristocratic families, causing them enormous losses. However, sects would not do such a thing. If they did, it would be tantamount to a complete break with the aristocratic families and the royal family. At that time, the aristocratic families and the royal family would definitely unite against them, and the military might also have to join in. Once the three parties unite, even the sects would not be able to withstand their attack.

However, if the sects didn't use those rogue cultivators to attack those aristocratic families, but instead issued missions to those rogue cultivators to help them find people, then countless rogue cultivators would definitely be willing to take on the missions. And those rogue cultivators go to all sorts of places, so as long as they issue a mission, they don't believe there is anyone in this world they can't find.

Those sects did indeed do just that; they quickly issued missions to the independent cultivators, instructing them to find members of the Myriad Laws Divine Cult.

Of course, this news reached the Blood Slaughter Sect immediately. Upon hearing it, Chang Jun's expression changed, and he immediately informed Zhao Hai. After receiving the news, Zhao Hai went directly to Chang Jun's place and also summoned Xu Ying and the others for a meeting.

Once everyone had arrived, Zhao Hai had Chang Jun explain the actions of the various sects. After Chang Jun finished speaking, Zhao Hai asked them, "What are your thoughts on this matter?"

Chang Jun said, "We are only dealing with those aristocratic families now, but those sects are attacking us. This is something I didn't expect. I'm very curious why those sects are attacking us."

Xu Ying said, "Perhaps they felt threatened. We attacked those aristocratic families because they attacked us before. But don't forget, those sects were also involved in attacking us back then. So those sects also want to attack us. They are worried that after we deal with those aristocratic families, we will turn around and attack them."

Chang Jun nodded, then said, "Then let's strike first. Aren't they already sending people to look for us? Let's strike first and deal with them before they come looking for us. I want to see what they do next."

Zhao Hai smiled slightly but did not speak. At this moment, Xu Ying frowned and said, "It's fine to strike first, but we are attacking those aristocratic families on one hand and those sects on the other. If they join forces, we will be in big trouble."

Chang Jun frowned. Although they were not afraid of fighting against the sects and the aristocratic families at the same time, many of the sects had their people in them. If a war really broke out, they might be exposed. Even if they weren't exposed, the commotion would be too great and would arouse Gongliang Juewen's dissatisfaction, which would be very detrimental to their future actions. So this was indeed a problem.

The others remained silent. Zhao Hai looked at them and couldn't help but smile slightly, saying, "Why should we take the initiative to attack them? Can't we just set a trap and wait for them to fall into it?"

Everyone was taken aback, but they instantly understood Zhao Hai's meaning. Chang Jun's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "This is indeed a good idea. We can set up a trap in advance and then pretend that those sects find it. They will definitely come to attack us, and then we can teach them a lesson. Where should we choose to place this trap?"

"Let's set up the magic array at the former headquarters of the Myriad Laws Sect. We'll set it up there first, and then deliberately expose our presence. That way, we can deal with them there without arousing their suspicion. They'll just think that our setup was very clever," Xu Ying said.

Upon hearing Xu Ying's words, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile. He then said, "Okay, I've come up with a solution. Let's do it this way."

Everyone responded, and then Zhao Hai disappeared. After Zhao Hai disappeared, Chang Jun turned to Xu Ying and said, "Xiao Ying, I'm leaving this matter to you. Just tell me if you need any manpower."

Xu Ying responded, and Chang Jun looked at him and said, "Consider this a test for you. I'm entrusting this matter entirely to you. How well you do it is up to you."

Xu Ying responded solemnly. He understood what Chang Jun meant. He had been in the Divine Kingdom for a long time and had already been able to stand on his own before. However, he had never commanded a major battle like this before. This was a test for him. If he completed the mission well, he would truly be able to stand on his own in the future. If he did not complete the mission well, he would need more time to train.

Xu Ying was also very clear that this matter was an opportunity for him, so he attached great importance to it.

Chang Jun glanced at Xu Ying, then smiled and said, "Alright, go ahead and do it without worry. No matter what happens, the sect will be there for you, so don't worry."

Xu Ying nodded, and Chang Jun smiled and said, "Alright, go and prepare. Remember, don't let anyone find out until you're ready." Xu Ying responded again, then stood up, bowed to Chang Jun, and left.
