Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16286 Seeing Through
In the council hall of the Tianxuan Sect, the sect leaders of various sects arrived once again. However, this time, many of them wore blank expressions, wondering why Qingxuan had summoned them. After the people from various sects had arrived, Qingxuan came to the council hall. This time, he had a smile on his face. The people from various sects were stunned when they saw his expression, wondering why he was so happy.

After Qingxuan sat down, one of the sect leaders spoke first: "Sect Leader Qingxuan seems very happy, is there some good news?"

Qingxuan glanced at everyone, then smiled slightly and said, "You were right. There is indeed good news. I just received news that the Wanfa Divine Sect has rebuilt their headquarters. Their headquarters was destroyed before, but now they have rebuilt it. Moreover, Xu Ying and the others are all here. In other words, all the experts of the Wanfa Divine Sect are here, except for Zhao Hai."

Upon hearing this news, the sect leaders were initially stunned, but then their eyes lit up. For them, this was definitely good news. They had been unable to find anyone from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect before, but this time they had found them. How could they not be happy?

However, there was one person whose face was not smiling. Instead, he was frowning, seemingly lost in thought. Qingxuan, who had always been smiling, was taken aback when he saw that person's expression. He then asked, "Sect Master Wen, what's wrong?" His words drew everyone's attention to Wen Jing. They were all surprised to find that Wen Jing's face showed no joy.

Looking at their expressions, Wen Jing continued, "It's nothing, I just remembered some unpleasant things. Last time, we also discovered the Wanfa Divine Sect at their headquarters, so we prepared to deal with them. We even set up a magic array there and sent out quite a few cultivators, but what was the result? Everyone died. To this day, we still don't know how they died. Most importantly, they all died at the same time. To be honest, we still don't have a very reasonable explanation. This time, they have reappeared at their headquarters and are even rebuilding it. I always feel that something is amiss."

Upon hearing his words, everyone was stunned. Then they all fell into deep thought. After a while, they looked at each other, unsure of what to say. Wen Jing, seeing their expressions, continued, "The people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect hadn't appeared before, but now they've suddenly shown up, and right at their headquarters. Their appearance at their headquarters at this time is rather strange. You see, their headquarters isn't in the city. We could attack them without any consequences. Under these circumstances, their rebuilding of their headquarters is illogical. So I'm very curious, why would the Myriad Laws Divine Sect do this? They're not stupid, so this might just be another trap."

Qingxuan and the others frowned. Hearing Wenjing's words, they also felt that this matter was a bit strange. Qingxuan then spoke up, "So that means this really could be a trap aimed at us, since we killed so many of their people before, and they want to use this method to deal with us too?"

Wen Jing said in a deep voice, "I'm not sure, but I think the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect wouldn't expose such a big flaw to us. The leader of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, Zhao Hai, is attacking us. The other members of the sect should be hiding so that we don't find out. Only in this way can Zhao Hai be free from worries. But now they have appeared, and right here in their headquarters. This is strange in itself. Don't you think so?"

No one spoke, but many people already believed Wen Jing's words. Wen Jing glanced at everyone and then said, "We can attack their headquarters, but we must be careful and not commit too many troops, otherwise we might really fall into their trap."

Everyone nodded, and Qingxuan continued, "I think Sect Master Wen is right. We can't make a mistake at this time. If we really fall into the trap of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect because of this, then everything we've done before will have been in vain. We should be careful. But if we let them rebuild the main hall so smoothly, it would be really hard to accept. Let's try to attack them. What do you all think?"

Everyone nodded, and then one of the sect leaders spoke up: "We can attack them, but I think it's best if we attack from a distance and avoid close combat. Last time we attacked their main hall, we suffered considerable losses. Their main hall must have a very powerful magic array. If we get too close to their main hall, we might get trapped in their magic array, which would not be good for us."

Everyone nodded, and Qingxuan said, "How about this, each sect selects one person, and we launch a probing attack on their main hall. What do you think?"

This time, no one objected. Even if it meant a loss for each sect, they could afford it. Qingxuan said, "Here's what we'll do. I'll give you three days. Within three days, use your own strength to get to the outer perimeter of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect's headquarters. We'll gather there and launch a ranged attack on the headquarters to test their reaction. If we manage to hit them, that's great. If we can't, then forget it."

Everyone nodded again, and then discussed the details of the operation before taking their leave. Qingxuan returned to his study, where he was still thinking about the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. He really wanted to know what was going on at the sect's headquarters.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hai also received news that the Sect Alliance was going to attack the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. However, upon receiving this news and hearing that each sect was only sending one person, Zhao Hai knew that the Sect Alliance had already seen through their plan. However, Zhao Hai did not intend to let those members of the Sect Alliance go. Although each sect was only sending one person, and it was all the major sects that were sending people, while the smaller sects were not sending anyone, even so, there were still several hundred Kingdom-level experts. Although killing all these Kingdom-level experts would not seriously damage the sects, they still had to be killed. By killing these people, the Blood Slaughter Sect would have more Kingdom-level experts, while the Sect Alliance would lose those Kingdom-level experts. No matter how you looked at it, this deal was very worthwhile.

However, Zhao Hai pretended not to know about this matter and continued to attack the smaller sects within the sect alliance. Because he didn't want this conflict to escalate into a full-scale war, Zhao Hai didn't touch the markets of the various sects. Although the markets varied in size, none of them had kingdom-level experts stationed there. Zhao Hai didn't want to kill ordinary people, so he didn't attack those markets. If Zhao Hai really attacked the markets of the various sects, it would definitely cause strong dissatisfaction within the sect alliance. After all, those markets were an important source of income for each sect. Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. At that time, they would have no room for maneuver with the sect alliance, and the war might escalate completely.

It wasn't that Zhao Hai was worried about the war escalating completely; in fact, he would have preferred it to. However, he was well aware that if he allowed the war to escalate, neither the royal family nor the powerful clans would agree. They would then become the common enemy of the entire divine kingdom, which would be no different from exposing their identities. Therefore, he couldn't do that.

As expected, when the people from those sects discovered that Zhao Hai was still attacking the people from those smaller sects, they assumed that Zhao Hai was unaware that they were going to attack the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, and they felt somewhat relieved. They also spent three days gathering all the experts from their respective sects there. This time, the number of kingdom-level experts gathered there exceeded five hundred. They were very careful, and their gathering place was a small hill a hundred miles away from the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect.

Once everyone had reached the small hill, they all looked towards the direction of the Wanfa Divine Sect's headquarters. Among them, the leader was an elder from the Tianxuan Sect named Qingyi.

Qingyi was also a master of the Tianxuan Sect, with formidable strength. Despite his elegant-sounding name, he was known for his fiery temper. During his travels, he killed many people. He also had a nickname: Bagua Furnace.

One man's nickname was "Eight Trigrams Furnace," which sounded a bit strange, but everyone who knew him thought it suited him perfectly. He was called that because he was skilled in a set of Eight Trigrams sword formations, which were incredibly powerful. In addition, he had a fiery temper, like a furnace that was always burning. So, he was given this nickname. Of course, Qingyi disliked this nickname very much, and most people wouldn't call him by that name in front of him. After all, no one wanted to offend Qingyi, and if you called him by that nickname to his face, he might just attack you. So, naturally, no one dared to call him by that name in front of him.

Qingyi was not tall, a little chubby, with jet-black hair that was neatly styled. He had a thick mustache on his upper lip and a short stubble on his chin. He had large eyes, but his expression was very serious.

His eyes were fixed on the direction of the Wanfa Divine Sect's headquarters, and he said in a deep voice, "The sect said that this time we can only attack them from a distance once, and we can't get too close. I know that the sect is doing this for our own good, and I don't object. But we must discuss how to attack first. And even if we are going to attack them from a distance, we must also discuss how far away we should be. What do you all think?"
