Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16306 Second Offensive
Lu Yong was quite surprised to see Chen Xian return so quickly. He looked at Chen Xian with some confusion and asked, "Why are you back so soon? Didn't you spend more time with your parents at home?"

Chen Xian shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. Anyway, we'll be from the same sect from now on, so we can see each other whenever we want. We still have a mission here, and we don't know when the Silver Fir Sect will attack again, so I came back."

Upon hearing Chen Xian's words, Lu Yong shook his head and said, "What's the rush? The sect isn't going to stop without you. Even without you, we can still withstand the Silver Fir Sect's attack. Wouldn't it be better for you to stay home and spend more time with your parents?"

Chen Xian smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. My parents are now both members of the sect, which means they have both achieved immortality. So it doesn't matter when I go back to be with them. There's really nothing to worry about."

Upon hearing Chen Xian's words, Lu Yong nodded and then said, "That's right. Anyway, we're all members of the sect now, so it doesn't matter when we go back. Alright, it's good that you're back. Tell the elders that you're back, and then prepare to complete today's task."

Chen Xian responded, then first sent a letter to the elder to inform him that he had returned, and then went to complete today's task.

That night, Chen Xian was resting when a piercing alarm suddenly blared. Chen Xian's expression changed immediately, and he rushed out of his room. When he got outside, he saw that Lu Yong and the others had already come out. As soon as Lu Yong saw him, he nodded at him, and then they took off. Lu Yong then called for his team to assemble and be ready for battle at any time.

Chen Xian glanced into the market and found that all the array locations there had been guarded. Upon seeing this, Chen Xian was taken aback, and then he immediately said to Lu Yong beside him, "The sect is putting on quite a show."

Lu Yong glanced in Chen Xian's direction, then looked away and said, "It's normal. Sects have experienced countless things like this. There's no need to make a fuss. But these guys from the Silver Fir Sect are quite interesting. Do they think they can break our Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation?"

Chen Xian glanced at the Silver Fir Sect members outside. He noticed that there seemed to be a few more Silver Fir Sect members this time than before, but not by much. Did the Silver Fir Sect members think they could conquer the market with just these few people? Were they underestimating the Myriad Laws Divine Sect?

Just then, a long sword suddenly flew up from the crowd of the Silver Fir Sect. This long sword looked very strange. The blade was not straight, but like a tree branch, layer upon layer. It did not look like a sword, but rather like a flat tree.

The moment the sword was revealed, Lu Yong and the others' expressions changed. It wasn't that they recognized the sword, but rather that it possessed an incredibly powerful aura. That aura was truly astonishing, overwhelming everything. Although it was just a sword, the aura emanating from it was in no way inferior to that of a kingdom-level expert.

Upon seeing this situation, Lu Yong and his group knew what was going on. The people of the Silver Fir Sect also knew that they couldn't let the sect's kingdom-level experts take action, so they brought out the sect's most powerful magic weapon. And a powerful magic weapon is indeed no less powerful than a kingdom-level expert.

Such magical artifacts are usually used as the most treasured possessions of a sect and are not easily taken out. However, the fact that this artifact has been brought out means that the Silver Fir Sect truly intends to take over this market. Although this artifact cannot unleash its full power in the hands of a master of the Imperial Carriage level, this flying sword should have no problem breaking through their defensive formation. Although they are using the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, the method of setting up the formation is the most common one. Therefore, while the defensive power of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation is not bad, it cannot be too strong. So, the Silver Fir Sect might actually be able to break through their Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation with this flying sword.

The Silver Fir Sect managed to exploit a loophole. The sect alliance forbade them from sending experts to attack the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, so they brought out their sect's most treasured artifact. This didn't count as disobeying the sect alliance; they actually achieved their goal.

After the Silver Fir Sect members unleashed their flying sword, the sword slashed down at them. Just as it came down, it suddenly grew larger, transforming into a massive metal tree that struck the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.

With a loud bang, the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation flashed and then shattered with a deafening roar. The residual force of the flying sword even left a sword mark in the market, instantly killing several Blood Slaughter Sect disciples.

The flying sword then flew directly back into the Silver Fir Sect's formation, and the Silver Fir Sect members then charged straight towards the market.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yong immediately shouted, "Everyone, engage!" With his command, everyone roared and charged towards the Silver Fir Sect members. The two sides clashed instantly, unleashing a barrage of attacks. People fell frequently, but neither side retreated. The Myriad Laws Sect also had a considerable number of members in the market, though not as many as the Silver Fir Sect. For a time, the two sides fought evenly, neither able to gain the upper hand.

While the Silver Fir Sect was attacking, they also sent a team to try and take down the teleportation array in the market. However, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect also sent people to guard the teleportation array. For a while, the two sides fought continuously at the teleportation array. Just when it seemed that the Silver Fir Sect was about to take down the teleportation array, a white light suddenly flashed on the teleportation array, and a team of Myriad Laws Divine Sect members appeared in the teleportation array. As soon as these people appeared, they saw the two sides fighting at the teleportation array. They were stunned for a moment, and then they immediately rushed over and joined the battle, blocking the Silver Fir Sect's attack.

Upon seeing this situation, the members of the Silver Fir Sect changed their expressions. They hadn't expected the members of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect to be so resilient. They had assumed that since the members of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect were all rogue cultivators, they could easily defeat them if they outnumbered them and attacked fiercely enough. After all, rogue cultivators prioritized preserving their own lives. However, they hadn't expected that the members of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect would hold out until reinforcements arrived, which greatly surprised them.

During their first attack, they almost defeated the Wanfa Divine Sect, but then their reinforcements arrived. This time it happened again, which made the Silver Fir Sect members feel very sorry.

However, they did not retreat. They wanted to attack again, but unexpectedly, the next moment, reinforcements from the Myriad Laws Cult appeared again in the teleportation array. The Silver Fir Sect members had no choice but to accept their fate and then retreated.

Once the Silver Fir Sect members had left, the Wanfa Divine Sect members breathed a sigh of relief. Subsequently, the Wanfa Divine Sect members began to rebuild the market town, where many buildings had been destroyed.

Lu Yong and Chen Xian did not die in battle this time, but both of them were injured. In fact, it wasn't just them; many disciples of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect were injured. The number of disciples who died in this battle was quite large.

Meanwhile, the elders of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect gathered around the sword mark, which was left by the Silver Fir Sect's treasured sword. The elders of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect looked at the sword mark with rather grim expressions.

An elder spoke up, "It's truly unexpected that the Silver Fir Sect would possess such a magical artifact. Although this artifact is only used for one strike, the power of that strike definitely surpasses that of an ordinary kingdom-level expert. What should we do if they use this artifact to attack us again?"

None of them spoke for a while before one of them finally said, "If they use that flying sword to attack us again, we still won't be able to stop it unless we apply to the sect for a magic weapon of the same level. Otherwise, it will be impossible to stop that flying sword."

“Applying for magical artifacts from the sect is possible, but if we do that, it would be tantamount to exposing the sect’s strength, and I don’t think the sect would agree.”

"Let's try applying to the sect for a magic weapon and see if they'll agree. If they do, that would be great. If they don't, we'll have to think of another way."

Everyone nodded, and then an elder spoke up: "Let's make two preparations. If the sect doesn't agree, how will we deal with the Silver Fir Sect's attack? We must be prepared for that."

They all nodded, then said, "Alright, let's go back and discuss it. Let the disciples handle things here." They all nodded and then turned to leave.

Lu Yong and the others returned to their courtyard. Their injuries were quickly treated, and they came out of their rooms and sat in the courtyard. Lu Yong's expression was rather grim. He said in a deep voice, "I really didn't expect those guys from the Silver Fir Sect to pull such a trick. They're clearly taking advantage of a loophole. If they use that magic weapon to attack again next time, our defensive array still won't be able to hold them off. Those guys from the Silver Fir Sect are going too far."

Chen Xian sighed and said, "They've set a bad precedent. If they can do it, we can do it too. If both sides use these magical artifacts to fight each other, it'll be no different from having kingdom-level experts participate in the battle. I don't think the sect will swallow this loss in silence. The sect will definitely retaliate next time."

Everyone nodded, agreeing that the Blood Slaughter Sect would retaliate. Lu Yong glanced at them and then said, "Regardless, we must be extra careful. You all saw how powerful that magical artifact was. Several sect disciples were killed simply from the aftershocks of its power. If we were in their position, we would be dead too. Next time you see them using such a magical artifact, stay far away." The others all nodded. They didn't want to die. Although they could be resurrected, no one wanted to die.
