Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16267 Reconciliation
"What? Missing? Everyone has disappeared? How is this possible? Their soul tablets are still intact, so why have they all disappeared?" Qingxuan looked at the person standing in front of him with an extremely ugly expression. This person was also an elder of the Tianxuan Sect. He had been in contact with Qingming, but later he lost contact with Qingming. He immediately sent people to check the situation, only to find that Qingming and everyone else had disappeared.

The elder shook his head and said, "The situation is still unclear, but what is certain is that everyone has indeed disappeared, and people from other sects are also searching for them."

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came, followed immediately by a knock on the door. The knocking was also very urgent, clearly indicating that the person who came was in a hurry. Qingxuan frowned and said, "Come in."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a person pushed open the door and walked in. This person was also an elder of the Tianxuan Sect. However, as soon as Qingxuan saw this elder of the Tianxuan Sect, his expression changed, because this elder was in charge of the Tianxuan Sect's Life Tablet Cave.

All the life tablets of the Tianxuan Sect are kept in the Life Tablet Cave. Once someone dies, the life tablet will shatter. Under normal circumstances, if an ordinary disciple dies, this elder will not report it to Qingxuan. But now he has appeared here, which means that the life tablet of an important person must have shattered. When he thought of the missing Qingming, Qingxuan's heart sank.

The elder looked at Qingxuan and said, "Sect Master, the life tablets of Elder Qingming and those who went to attack the Myriad Laws Sect this time have all been shattered."

Although he had already thought of this, Qingxuan's expression still turned very ugly upon hearing him say this. He immediately asked, "Are you sure?"

The man nodded and said, "I checked it myself, and it is indeed all broken."

Qingxuan took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions, and then said in a deep voice, "Send letters to the other sects and ask them about their situation. Is it true that the life tablets of the people they sent there were also broken?"

The elder who had come to inform Qingxuan of Qingming's disappearance responded and left immediately. The elder in charge of the Life Tablet Cave also left immediately. After they all left, Qingxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then stood up and walked towards the door. Once outside, he looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with sorrow. He and Qingming had a very good relationship. He had previously thought that if something really happened to him one day, he would pass the position of sect leader to Qingming. Qingming was the youngest and most talented among their generation. But he never expected that Qingming would die like this. This was something he had never imagined.

A short while later, the elder who had been in contact with other sects came to Qingxuan again. He bowed to Qingxuan and said, "Sect Master, I have contacted the people from other sects. The life tablets of the people they sent out have all been broken. I asked about the time, and they broke almost at the same time."

Qingxuan took a deep breath and then said, "There's something strange about this. It's impossible for more than three thousand experts to be killed all at once, and almost simultaneously. This is too abnormal. You should contact the other sects immediately and have each sect send some experts to form an investigation team to check the situation. Remember, tell them to be very careful. If they find anything amiss, they should retreat immediately."

The elder responded and then turned and left. Qingxuan took a deep breath, suppressing his grief. He returned to his room and continued dealing with the matters at hand. He knew very well that the people were already dead, and there was no point in thinking about it anymore. What they needed to do now was to find out exactly how Qingming and the others died, and at the same time find the people of the Myriad Laws Sect, kill them, and avenge Qingming and the others.

Meanwhile, Wan Hai and his family alliance also received news that the sect alliance had attacked the Wanfa Divine Sect, but all the people sent by the sect alliance had disappeared, which was something Wan Hai and his family had not expected.

Wan Hai took this matter quite seriously. The sect had approached them before, wanting to join forces to deal with the Myriad Laws Cult, but he hadn't agreed at the time. However, he hadn't expected that the sect members would take action on their own. Moreover, it seemed that the sect alliance members had suffered losses this time, which was something Wan Hai hadn't anticipated.

Wan Hai immediately instructed his family to send people to keep an eye on the matter. Although they couldn't openly cooperate with the sect, they could still take this opportunity to attack the Wanfa Divine Sect.

He had just given the instructions when an elder from a family came to see Wan Hai. This elder was in charge of some of their family's businesses, and Wan Hai thought there might be a problem with those businesses. He immediately invited the elder into his room. Once the elder was inside, Wan Hai looked at him and said, "Twenty-third brother, what is it?" This man was of the same generation as him, ranking twenty-third in the family, so he simply called him "twenty-third brother."

The twenty-third brother spoke up, "Big brother, look at this. It was brought up by a disciple from one of the shops today." Wan Hai looked at the item he was handed over—a jade slip. He was somewhat puzzled, but he still took the jade slip. He probed the jade slip with his spiritual power and was stunned. He discovered that this jade slip was given to him by the Wanfa God Sect, which surprised him greatly. He carefully examined the contents of the jade slip, then put it down, a thoughtful expression on his face. He then said, "Notify the heads of the other families and ask them to come over. This matter needs to be discussed properly." The twenty-third brother responded and then turned and left.

That evening, the heads of other prominent families arrived at the Wan family. Wan Hai invited them to the council hall. After they were seated, Wan Hai took out the jade slip and addressed them, "Today, our family received a jade slip. This jade slip was sent by the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. I have read its contents. The contents are very simple. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect wants to talk to us. They no longer want to fight us because they want to focus all their energy on dealing with those people from the sect. If we agree, we will send someone to Qingfeng Mountain to meet them the day after tomorrow. If they do not agree, then we will continue fighting. What are your thoughts on this matter?"

Upon hearing his words, the clan heads were all taken aback. Then one of them spoke up, "Those guys from the sects tried to deal with the Wanfa Divine Sect, but it seems they suffered a loss. I heard they mobilized several thousand people this time, but all of them have disappeared. It looks like those several thousand people are in grave danger."

"It's not just that they're in grave danger, they're already dead. I just received news that those people are dead. There are more than three thousand of them, more than three thousand kingdom-level experts from various sects. When they went to attack the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, they all died. Their life tablets were all shattered. What's strange is that they died almost simultaneously. I don't know how the Myriad Laws Divine Sect managed to do that."

"Simultaneous deaths? More than three thousand kingdom-level experts died at the same time? That's impossible! Who has such power to kill more than three thousand kingdom-level experts at the same time? That's impossible!"

"It's true. We've received the news too. People from those sects also feel there's something strange going on here and are preparing to send people to investigate."

"So the people from the Myriad Laws Cult are really capable, killing over three thousand people just like that?"

"Does anyone know the details? How exactly did they do it? You have to understand that there are more than three thousand kingdom-level experts, not ordinary disciples. Even killing ordinary disciples is not so easy, let alone kingdom-level experts."

"I heard that the people from the sect used a magic array, but that's all I know."

"They used a magic array, and they still died? Were the people from the sect too weak, or were the people from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect too strong?"

"Alright, now is not the time to discuss this. The people of the Myriad Laws Cult clearly don't want to let those people from the sect go. They still want to attack those people from the sect, so they don't want to get entangled with us anymore. What are everyone's thoughts on this matter? Should we agree?"

This time, everyone fell silent again. To be honest, this wasn't an easy question to answer. Logically, at this point, making peace with the Myriad Laws Cult was the best option. After all, they could only defend against the Myriad Laws Cult; they had no offensive capabilities. They didn't even know where the Myriad Laws Cult members were, so how could they attack? As the saying goes, prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat. They knew that continuing to defend wasn't a solution. If they could make peace with the Myriad Laws Cult, that would be the best outcome.

However, they were also somewhat unwilling. They were a powerful alliance of aristocratic families, with considerable strength, even capable of challenging the royal family. But what was the result? The result was that they had no way to deal with the Wanfa Divine Cult. How could they be willing to accept this?

But now, for them, it's an opportunity. The Sect Alliance has clashed with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, and so many experts have died in one fell swoop. It can be said that the number of experts lost by the Sect Alliance this time is more than the number of experts who have died in their long-term entanglement with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. The Sect Alliance will definitely not let this go easily; they will definitely deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. This is an opportunity for them. They only need to keep an eye on the Sect Alliance to find the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. Once they find the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, they can teach them a lesson and vent their anger. They might even be able to destroy the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. This is precisely why they are hesitant. If they make peace with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, then they can no longer attack the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. If they make peace with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect on the one hand, and send people to attack the Myriad Laws Divine Sect on the other hand, then the Myriad Laws Divine Sect will definitely retaliate against them like a madman.

Those who betray their promises are more hateful than enemies. If they were to suddenly attack the Wanfa Divine Cult after the ceasefire, they would be in deep trouble unless they could wipe out the entire Wanfa Divine Cult in one fell swoop. The Wanfa Divine Cult would never let them go, and might even set aside their grudges with the sect alliance to focus solely on dealing with them.
