Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16261 Nine Nether Stone Formation

Upon returning, Xu Ying immediately ordered the setup of a magic array at the former headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. This time, the array they set up was primarily an Illusion Killing Array, and this was no ordinary one. It was called the Thousand Illusion Maze, a magic array that combined spatial, illusion, killing, and maze elements. The strongest point of this array was that it could deal with enemies without requiring any manual intervention. Moreover, it was not easily broken, and escaping would be even more difficult. Xu Ying had consulted with the disciples of the Divine Mechanism Hall who followed him before deciding to use this array.

Of course, because this magic array is quite powerful, it is also quite troublesome to set up. Even with the Blood Slaughter Sect's speed of setting up, it would take several days to complete the magic array.

However, they were not worried about anyone discovering their actions, because before the magic array was even set up, they had already set up an illusion array there, making it impossible for outsiders to discover them.

Their attacks on those aristocratic families have never stopped these past few days. They have wiped out two more aristocratic families, only in this way can they avoid suspicion. Those aristocratic families have been searching for the Myriad Laws Divine Cult, but unfortunately they have not found it.

Five days later, they finally set up the magic array. Xu Ying went to check it out himself. After confirming that there were no problems, Xu Ying reported the matter directly to Zhao Hai. He told Zhao Hai that everything was ready and they were about to start the operation. Of course, Zhao Hai did not object and immediately agreed. He did not even show his face.

Although Xu Ying was a little nervous, he knew that this was something he had to do, so he immediately gave the order to start the operation. Following his order, some of the people they had placed among the rogue cultivators directly relayed the message to some sects. However, the sects that received this message were not those that had already joined the Blood Slaughter Sect.

The reason for not informing the sects that had joined the Blood Slaughter Sect was to reduce the risk of exposure. Once the sect alliance discovered it was a trap, they would definitely investigate the source of the information. As for the rogue cultivators, they could simply hide or fake their deaths to avoid being discovered. However, the sects that received the information in the first place would definitely be investigated. If a sect that had joined the Blood Slaughter Sect was investigated, there was indeed a risk of exposure. Although the possibility was small, they didn't want to take that risk. It was better to just inform the sects that hadn't yet joined the Blood Slaughter Sect.

This news reached Qingxuan's ears in the shortest possible time. After receiving the news, Qingxuan immediately wrote to the sect leaders of various sects and invited them to Tianxuan Sect.

Once all the sect leaders had arrived at Tianxuan Sect, Qingxuan invited them to the conference room. After everyone was seated, Qingxuan had his disciples serve tea and then dismiss them. After the disciples left, Qingxuan looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I think you've all heard about the news regarding the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. We've found the location of those people from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. They were originally at their headquarters. Although their headquarters was destroyed long ago and has never been repaired, their people are still there. It's like the darkest place is under the lamp; no one expected them to return to their headquarters. No wonder we couldn't find them before."

Everyone nodded in agreement. The headquarters of the Myriad Laws Cult had long been destroyed. No one expected that the people of the Myriad Laws Cult would be hiding in their destroyed headquarters. Moreover, they should not be staying on the ground, because the buildings on the ground are still damaged and they have not repaired them. That means they are staying underground in the headquarters.

One of the sect leaders spoke up: "No one expected them to be hiding there. But that's fine too. Once we find them, we can attack them directly. Shouldn't we discuss how many troops each of us should send?"

Everyone nodded, and Qingxuan said, "If we can destroy the Myriad Laws Divine Sect this time, that would be the best outcome. It would also be a good opportunity for the aristocratic families to see our strength. In fact, it's a good thing that the aristocratic families are not cooperating with us, so that the royal family will no longer target us. If the royal family really starts targeting us, it will be a real headache for us."

Everyone nodded, and Qingxuan said, "Alright, let's talk about the deployment of troops by each sect. How many troops do you all think each sect should send?"

"Let's put aside the number of troops we send for now and talk about the strength of those we send out. All the ordinary members of the Myriad Laws Cult are dead now. The remaining members are all experts. They already demonstrated their strength when they helped the royal family attack the aristocratic families. The remaining members are all kingdom-level experts, and there are quite a few of them. With so many experts on the other side, we must send more people. Otherwise, our losses will be considerable. Also, don't send those who are weak. Sending them will only be suicide. There's no need to send them."

"That's right. Those who aren't strong enough shouldn't go; they'll only die. The biggest problem now is that we don't know how many experts the Myriad Laws Divine Sect has. If we send too few, we might not be able to handle them; if we send too many, wouldn't that be overkill, and it might also arouse the suspicion of the aristocratic families and the royal family?" "We can't worry about that now. Whether it's the aristocratic families or the royal family, they should have an estimate of the strength of our sects. Even if we send more people, they won't think much of it. Besides, if we directly deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect this time, then no one will know how many people we sent. What do you all think?"

“That makes sense. Then send out more people. One group will deal with the Myriad Laws Cult, and the other group will guard the perimeter to prevent others from getting through. That way, they won’t be able to find out how many experts we’ve sent.”

"If that's the case, then at least 1,200 people will be needed. 1,000 people will deal with the Myriad Laws Cult, and 200 people will be on guard around the perimeter. The 1,200 people I'm referring to must all be experts at the Kingdom level."

"Sending over a thousand kingdom-level experts at once? Isn't that a bit too much?"

“I think that’s not enough. Each sect should send some people. Sects with only one Kingdom-level expert should not send anyone. Sects with three to six Kingdom-level experts should send one person to participate in this operation. If a sect has more than six Kingdom-level experts, send two people. If a sect has more than twenty Kingdom-level experts, send four people. If a sect has more than fifty Kingdom-level experts, send ten people. What do you all think?”

"If that's the case, then the number of people would be too many, wouldn't it? There are quite a few sects that have more than fifty kingdom-level experts. If we really divide them according to this, then we could probably send out at least three thousand kingdom-level experts. If people find out about this, wouldn't that be a bit too scary?"

"It's not impossible. Not to mention us, even those aristocratic families can easily mobilize these kingdom-level experts. However, it's best if we don't let them know. There's another thing we all need to be careful about. The people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect seem to be very good at using magic arrays. We must bring some array-breaking experts and more array-breaking magic artifacts. Most importantly, the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect might try to escape. We must think of a way to prevent them from running away. What are your thoughts?"

"There really isn't a good way to deal with this. The only option is to use a magic array to break another magic array, and not just on the ground, but also underground. We must make sure that the people from the Myriad Laws Cult don't get away."

“That’s right. The people of the Myriad Laws Cult must be living underground in their headquarters, and they’ve been living there for some time now. They must have created a lot of underground passages. We must make sure they can’t escape through those passages, and we must also make sure they can’t escape through the surface. We also need to deal with their teleportation arrays, and most importantly, we need to break their magic arrays. We must consider all of these things carefully.”

"That's the problem. Last time, the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Sect was breached because they were sealed by a barrier array, preventing them from escaping. In the end, it was the sect leader who broke the barrier array from the outside, allowing them to escape. They must have learned from that experience, and this time they will be fully prepared. It won't be easy for us to trap them with a barrier array again. The main problem is, even if we wanted to create a barrier array to trap them, how long would it take to set it up? Won't the Myriad Laws Sect discover it?"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that attacking the Myriad Laws Sect was not an easy task. Qingxuan Daoist, who had remained silent until now, spoke up, saying, "Last time, the five great families used the Golden Wheel of Creation to temporarily create a barrier array, trapping the Myriad Laws Sect members there. Although we also have many large magical artifacts, if we use this method, the Myriad Laws Sect members will definitely be on guard. Therefore, this method is definitely unacceptable. We must think of another way. Sect Master Wen, your Prison Suppression Sect is the most proficient in array formations among all our sects. Tell us, what kind of array formation should we use to deal with the Myriad Laws Sect members?"

As Qingxuan spoke, his eyes turned to a cultivator who looked to be in his fifties and had a refined appearance. This cultivator was the sect leader of the Zhenyu Sect, named Wen Jing. The Zhenyu Sect was the sect that used magic arrays best among the major sects of the Divine Kingdom.

After listening to Qingxuan's words, Wenjing pondered for a moment before speaking, "Actually, from the very beginning, I've been thinking about what kind of formation to use to deal with the Wanfa Divine Sect. However, none of the formations I initially thought of were quite suitable. Especially after listening to everyone's opinions, I finally came up with a formation called the Nine Nether Rock Formation. This formation is an earth-type formation. It is a barrier formation, but it also has defensive effects. This formation should be the most suitable."
