Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16287 Attack
“The people of the Myriad Laws Cult are indeed difficult to deal with. We must be careful. Their array formations are extremely powerful. Last time, our people suffered a loss in this area, losing many of their men. And this time, our numbers are even fewer than last time, so the sect does not want us to take any risks,” an elder interjected.

Everyone nodded, and Qingyi said, "When we faced the Ten Thousand Laws Sect before, we caused them a great loss. If we die here, it will have a huge impact on the morale of the various sects. So we can't act recklessly and should ensure our safety."

Everyone nodded. Their opinion of Qingyi had changed somewhat. They had all said that Qingyi had a fiery temper, but now it seemed that this was not the case at all.

Qingyi said in a deep voice, "Even if they have a magic array, it shouldn't be too large. Our attack range can reach about ten miles at the closest point. Although a distance of ten miles will weaken our attack, it is definitely enough to test them. If this is really a trap set by the Myriad Laws Sect, then we will have discovered it and can retreat directly. So I think a distance of ten miles is very appropriate."

No one objected to her suggestion. For them, the farther away from the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, the safer they would be. Although it was a mission of the sect, their lives were their own. They had finally cultivated to their current level and certainly did not want to die, so they also wanted to ensure their safety.

Seeing that no one objected, Qingyi continued, "Alright, let's get going." Everyone responded and then followed Qingyi as they flew towards the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect.

However, before they even flew within ten miles of the Myriad Laws Sect, an extremely piercing alarm sounded from the sect's headquarters. The sound was so loud that Qingyi and the others could hear it clearly.

However, they didn't say anything. They had already expected that the Myriad Laws Cult would find them. It would be strange if the Myriad Laws Cult didn't find them.

The next moment, a magic array appeared directly at the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. This magic array was none other than the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array. Eight huge golden gates appeared directly around the headquarters, firmly protecting the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect inside.

At that moment, many people also flew up from the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, but they did not leave the headquarters and remained inside the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.

Qingyi and his group quickly arrived within ten miles of the headquarters of the Wanfa Divine Sect. At that moment, although they were ten miles apart, Qingyi and his group could still clearly see Xu Ying and the others with their eyesight.

Xu Ying and the others stood quietly in the main hall of the Myriad Laws Sect, watching Qing Yi and the others. Their gazes met in the air, as if sparks were flying everywhere.

A smile appeared on Xu Ying's face, a smile tinged with disdain and mockery. Upon seeing Xu Ying's expression, Qing Yi's face flushed with anger, but he quickly suppressed it, watching Xu Ying and the others silently. Then he shouted, "Everyone, listen to my command! I'll use my flying sword. All attacks should be aimed at my flying sword. We'll attack one point of their defensive formation and see if we can break it."

Everyone responded in unison. They were also furious. Who were they? They were kingdom-level experts from various sects, practically second only to the leader. For many years, no one had dared to look at them with such eyes. So, seeing Xu Ying's gaze now, they were naturally angry. They wanted revenge, and they wanted to break through the defensive array of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect.

With a flick of his wrist, Qingyi conjured a flying sword. The sword was entirely red, with what appeared to be swirling flames. This flying sword was a magical artifact he had painstakingly crafted over nearly a century, gathering materials to create it. It was named the Pure Azure Sword, a name derived from the phrase "the fire of the furnace is pure and refined." The name stemmed from two reasons: first, a trace of true solar fire had been added to the sword, enhancing its power and making its flames incredibly potent; second, it was a playful jab at Qingyi's nickname, "Eight Trigrams Furnace." Although Qingyi disliked his nickname, the sword's name was given to him by Qingxuan, so he hadn't changed it.

Qingyi is famous for the Bagua Sword Formation, which is actually composed of sixty-four flying swords. The Pure Green Sword is the main sword of the sixty-four flying swords and also the most powerful flying sword. This time, Qingyi is leading everyone to attack together, so he did not release all the flying swords and only used the main sword.

After Qingyi revealed his flying sword, he shouted, "Everyone, get ready and attack with my flying sword!"

Everyone responded, and then Qingyi moved her hand, thrusting her sword straight at the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation. Everyone also released their magical weapons. In fact, the way cultivators can attack the farthest distance is still through magical weapons. Except for those like the Blood Slaughter Sect who have used their spells to the extreme, the attack range of ordinary cultivators' spells cannot be too far. If it is too far, the power of the spell will be much weaker.

Using magical artifacts is different. The attack of a magical artifact actually relies more on the artifact itself. The greater the power of the artifact, the stronger its attack power. Therefore, most of the time, cultivators still use magical artifacts for ranged attacks.

Qingyi and the rest of them all attacked the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation with magical artifacts. Various artifacts, spanning ten miles, struck the formation directly. With a deafening boom, the formation shattered like glass. This stunned Qingyi and the others. They then saw that the formation was empty; Xu Ying and the others were nowhere to be found. Even the buildings within had vanished, leaving only ruins, as if the area had been attacked before—nothing remained.

Upon seeing this, Qingyi and the others were all stunned, then their expressions changed. Qingyi asked, "Is it fake?"

The others remained silent, but their expressions were grim, for they knew perfectly well that if everything they had seen before was a lie, then they had been tricked.

Qingyi immediately spoke up, "Elder Lu." A voice responded and came to her side. Qingyi looked at Elder Lu and said, "Elder Lu, what kind of magic array could create this? Is all of this fake?"

Elder Lu glanced in the direction of the Wanfa Divine Sect's headquarters, then said in a deep voice, "There are many kinds of formations that can achieve this, but the only one I can think of is the Mirror Formation. The Mirror Formation can make events that happen in other places appear in another place as a mirror image. Moreover, this formation is bidirectional, which means that the other party can also see what is happening here. Just now, Xu Ying and the others were probably watching us from another place. Now that we have broken the mirror image, we can no longer see them, but they can still see us."

Elder Lu was from the Prison Suppression Sect. Their sect had the deepest research on magic arrays, which was why Qingyi had called him over. Upon hearing Elder Lu's words, Qingyi's expression turned even more grim. He looked towards the direction of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect's headquarters and then asked, "Is there any danger there now?"

Elder Lu shook his head and said, "The mirror array is not dangerous."

Qingyi said in a deep voice, "Then can we use the mirror array here to find out where the other half of this array is?"

Elder Lu nodded and said, "That's possible, but it will take some time."

Qingyi asked in a deep voice, "How long will it take?"

Elder Lu said in a deep voice, "About an hour."

Qingyi turned to look at everyone and said, "The people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect dare not come out of their defensive formation to fight us. Now we have two choices: we can ask Elder Lu to help us find out where the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect are and then attack them; or we can retreat directly and return to our respective sects. What do you all think we should do?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard him say this, and then they all fell into deep thought. At this moment, an elder suddenly spoke up: "No matter what, we must attack the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect once we find them. Otherwise, how will we explain ourselves to the sect when we return? Are we going to tell the sect leader that we didn't find the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and that we were tricked by them? I can't bring myself to say that."

Everyone else nodded in agreement. They all agreed that the elder's words made a lot of sense. They couldn't bring themselves to say such things. They were all experts at the kingdom level, yet they had been tricked by the Myriad Laws Sect with a magic array. How could they not be angry? They were also proud, and they couldn't bear to return to their sects like this. So, no one wanted to go back like that.

Qingyi turned to look at Elder Lu and then said, "Elder Lu, it's up to you now."

Elder Lu nodded upon hearing Qingyi's words. He then glanced at the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Sect and said, "Let's attack again. What if they're using an illusion array instead of a mirror array? They're trying to lure us in and trap us there. The Myriad Laws Sect is skilled in using arrays, so they should be able to do that. But if we attack their headquarters, we can see the damage to the buildings and determine if it's an illusion array. If it is, we'll retreat immediately. If it's not, we can go check it out later."

Upon hearing Elder Lu's suggestion, Qingyi immediately said, "Alright, let's do it that way. Everyone, listen to my command, we'll attack that place again and see the reaction." Everyone responded, and at the same time, they prepared their magical artifacts.
