Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16289 Attitude
Elder Lu slowly flew to the projection, then carefully observed it, even reaching out to touch it. He only touched air; there was indeed nothing there. Reassured, he landed on the ground, scrutinizing it closely and touching it again, but still found nothing. The ground was just the ground, looking no different from anywhere else. Elder Lu frowned. He then tried attacking other areas, but his attacks vanished once more. Startled, he immediately flew up to investigate the ground elsewhere. He was now capable of being disrespectful to the projection; after all, it was just a projection.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt a chill on his chest. He looked down at his chest in disbelief and saw a flying sword slowly retracting into his chest.

He slowly turned his head and found that the projection of Qingyi was looking at him with a strange smile on its face. The sword was indeed thrust out by Qingyi.

Elder Lu spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes fixed on Qingyi, before falling directly from the sky to the ground. Qingyi remained standing there, quietly watching him. Elder Lu's body crashed heavily to the ground, blood gushing from his body. Clearly, countless bones in his body were broken, and he was beyond saving. Yet, his eyes remained fixed on Qingyi.

Qingyi stood there calmly, watching him without making a move. Elder Lu's eyes flashed with regret, then his head lolled to the side, and he was lifeless.

But Qingyi remained calmly standing there watching him. After a while, Elder Lu's body twitched again, and then he stopped moving. Qingyi looked at Elder Lu's appearance, and the next moment a rune landed directly on Elder Lu's body.

Even though Elder Lu was fatally wounded, he still had the power for one last strike. However, this strike could only be unleashed when the target was close. So, his fall from the sky was actually to lure Qingyi over. He suffered such severe injuries to lure Qingyi over as well. Even the way he tilted his head at the end, as if he were dead, was also to lure Qingyi over. But Qingyi didn't fall for it, so he really died in the end.

Elder Lu was unaware that the Qingyi he was referring to was not the real Qingyi at all; it was merely an attack method created by a magic array. The reason Qingyi hadn't approached him was because this Qingyi wasn't a real person. It lacked human emotions. To determine whether Elder Lu was dead, it didn't need to examine him; it only needed to check if Elder Lu's body was truly devoid of life. Elder Lu lay on the ground, and there was a magic array there that allowed it to clearly determine whether Elder Lu was truly dead. Obviously, it had known all along that Elder Lu had been feigning death. Therefore, Qingyi stood there without moving. Unlike a human, it wouldn't try to say anything to Elder Lu while he was dying. It simply stood there quietly, waiting to place a necromancy rune on Elder Lu's body once he was truly dead.

Elder Lu felt as if he were having a dream in which he died. In the dream, he also learned about a sect called the Blood Slaughter Sect. He learned about the sect and that he had become a member of the undead race. The moment he became a member of the undead race, he automatically joined the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Elder Lu then felt himself wake up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the space. Upon seeing this space, he knew he was not dreaming. He immediately sat up and reached out to touch his body. Apart from the torn clothes on his chest, he had no wounds on his body.

Elder Lu let out a long breath, then stood up, glanced around, and said, "Send me back to the sect." He had learned this in his dream; in his dream, as long as he said this, he could return to the sect.

The next moment Elder Lu felt a blur before his eyes, and then he found himself in a completely unfamiliar space. At this moment, a cultivator flew over, bowed to Elder Lu and said, "Welcome to the sect. I am the guiding disciple. Elder, please follow me."

Elder Lu was taken aback, then he nodded and followed the disciple forward. The disciple then began to truly guide him in understanding the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Meanwhile, Qingyi fought for about an hour with the person who looked exactly like him. In the end, Qingyi was stabbed to death by the other party. Even in his dying moments, he couldn't believe that he was no match for a projection, but he was indeed no match and died at the other party's hands. The other sects' kingdom-level experts were in similar situations. They also encountered various things and eventually all died in battle. However, the time of their deaths was different. At the moment they died, their soul tablets in each sect were all shattered. Upon seeing that their soul tablets were shattered, each sect knew that these people were dead. The sects immediately became tense and sent people to the Blood Slaughter Sect's headquarters to check the situation. The people who went reported that everything in the Blood Slaughter Sect's headquarters was normal, and there was nothing unusual. Of course, they didn't dare to get too close, but it was clear that there was no trace of a battle in the Blood Slaughter Sect's headquarters.

When the news reached the Sect Alliance, everyone there was stunned. They really didn't know what was going on or what had happened.

Qingxuan once again invited all the sect leaders to the Tianxuan Sect. After they arrived, Qingxuan looked at them and said, "All the people we sent out are dead. I think everyone already knows that, so I won't say anything more. Now, everyone, tell me what we should do next?"

One of the sect leaders spoke up: "Needless to say, this incident was a trap set by the Myriad Laws Divine Sect to lure us in. Fortunately, we sent fewer people. If we had sent more, our losses would have been much greater. I think we should forget about attacking the Myriad Laws Divine Sect's headquarters."

Many sect leaders nodded in agreement. They shared the same thought: attacking the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was no longer an option, otherwise they might fall into another trap, and they didn't want to suffer even greater losses.

Another sect leader spoke up: "But I'm really unwilling to accept this. Zhao Hai, the leader of the Myriad Laws Sect, is constantly attacking those smaller sects. Those smaller sects are suffering heavy losses, but we can't do anything about them. The Myriad Laws Sect doesn't have many temples to begin with, and there are no experts guarding those temples. If we can't attack their main hall either, then we really have no way to attack them. That Zhao Hai is very cunning; it's almost impossible for us to catch him. Under these circumstances, we really have no way to deal with the Myriad Laws Sect. Are we just going to let them get away with this?"

"To be honest, we've been thinking about eliminating the Myriad Laws Sect from the very beginning. Isn't that a bit too much? The Myriad Laws Sect's existence is permitted by the royal family. Why does the royal family allow their existence? It's so that the Myriad Laws Sect can be used against us and those aristocratic families. They are a knife in the royal family's hand. I think everyone will agree with that, right?"

Everyone nodded, all looking at the speaker. This time, it was none other than Wen Jing. Wen Jing glanced at everyone and then said, "If we want to destroy the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, we must first ask the royal family for their consent. If the royal family disagrees, they will definitely intervene when the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is in its most dangerous moment. At that time, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect will be even more grateful to the royal family, but they will only hate us more. So I think we should change our attitude towards the Myriad Laws Divine Sect?"

After hearing his words, everyone fell into deep thought. They were all digesting Wen Jing's words, but they had to admit that what Wen Jing said seemed to make a lot of sense.

Wen Jing glanced at everyone and continued, “I know we’ve now formed a blood feud with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. We first joined the aristocratic families in destroying all of their temples and then killed so many of their experts. But the aristocratic families also have a deep-seated hatred for the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, yet they’ve reconciled. Why can’t we reconcile with them? Last time, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect suffered heavy losses because of our schemes, and they probably want to recuperate now. But if they don’t retaliate, they’ll lose face, which is why Zhao Hai made his move. Although Zhao Hai has been attacking us these past few days, the damage he’s caused hasn’t been significant, and his attacks have weakened considerably. Under these circumstances, shouldn’t we try to reconcile with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect? Even if we don’t openly reconcile, we can still send signals of reconciliation so we can all rest and recuperate for a while, which would benefit us as well.”

Upon hearing his words, the group exchanged glances for a moment, then all nodded. Qingxuan looked at Wenjing and asked, "What do you intend to do?"

Wen Jing said in a deep voice, "If we don't openly reconcile with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, they won't agree. Because if someone doesn't want them to agree, they can't agree. But if we don't openly reconcile with them, then there won't be a problem. For example, we can completely withdraw from the market for a period of time, stop attacking Zhao Hai, and stop attacking the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. We can completely withdraw our defenses. In this way, the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect should understand what we mean. If they still want to attack us under these circumstances, then they shouldn't blame us for being impolite. At that time, we can concentrate all the forces of our sects and raze the headquarters of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect to the ground. But I think the people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect are all smart people. They probably won't do that. What do you all think?" After Wen Jing finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, wanting to see what their attitude was and whether they would agree with his plan.
