Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16308 Retreat
"stop!"

A roar rang out from outside the market, and everyone inside heard it. They all slowly stopped. Then, a member of the Silver Fir Sect stepped forward. This man appeared to be in his forties, tall and imposing, but his strength was only at the Royal Chariot level. He stood there, looking towards the market, and then said, "Listen up, people of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect! If you agree to release all our people, then we agree to cede this market to you, and from now on, we will not attack this market again."

As he spoke, the tree-like flying sword appeared above his head, signaling to the members of the Myriad Laws Cult that he still possessed the power to strike and could break through their defensive formation.

The elder of the Myriad Laws Sect was taken aback when he heard this. He then glanced at the man from the Silver Fir Sect and asked, "Do you keep your word?"

"With so many people listening, my Silver Fir Sect disciples will certainly keep their word. If you disagree, then we'll have no choice but to go all out," the Silver Fir Sect member said to the elder of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect.

The elder of the Myriad Laws Sect gave him a deep look, then shouted, "Activate the defensive array!"

As he spoke, a large gate in the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation slowly opened, and the elder of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect stood there, quietly watching the Silver Fir Sect members leave through the gate.

After the Silver Fir Sect disciples left the market, the leader of the Silver Fir Sect put away the flying sword and then flew away with the Silver Fir Sect members.

After they left, the members of the Myriad Laws Sect breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, today's situation was quite dangerous. They really hadn't expected that the Silver Fir Sect would use the tactic of occupying the teleportation array to cut off their reinforcements, and then even destroy the teleportation array itself. They didn't want to expose too much, so they had no choice but to fight the Silver Fir Sect head-on. Fortunately, they had prepared in advance and prepared a second layer of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array. Otherwise, they would have been in real danger today, and they might have had to abandon the market and run away.

After they confirmed that the Silver Fir Sect members had left, the Wanfa Divine Sect members began to tidy up the market area and repair all the damaged parts of the defenses.

Those rogue cultivators who remained in the market were relieved. The Silver Fir Sect had said they would abandon the market, which meant there would be no more fighting there, and they would be safe. This was exactly what the rogue cultivators had hoped for.

Sure enough, the market remained safe for the next ten days. It seemed that the Silver Fir Sect had decided not to attack the market again, and the rogue cultivators could finally relax.

As things gradually calmed down in the market, the rogue cultivators who had left slowly returned. It's important to understand that the markets hadn't been peaceful lately. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect hadn't just attacked this one market; they had attacked multiple markets simultaneously. Therefore, many markets were currently embroiled in conflict. Although there were many markets, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect wasn't attacking markets belonging to the same sect, but rather markets belonging to different sects. This created the illusion that the Divine Kingdom was at war everywhere. However, in reality, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect wasn't attacking many markets; it was simply because they were attacking different markets that the cultivators perceived it as a constant state of war.

It was precisely because of this that those independent cultivators who had left the market immediately returned upon hearing that the market had officially come under the control of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. In particular, those who owned shops in the market returned at the first opportunity, fearing that their shops would be confiscated. For many independent cultivators, their shops were practically their lifeblood. They could leave temporarily to survive, but as long as the market was safe, they would return immediately.

After ten days of peace in the market town, almost everyone who had left had returned. That night, the Myriad Laws Cult finally made its move. They sealed off the market town with the Hidden Edge Formation, and then their army attacked, turning everyone in the market town into undead. The rogue cultivators hadn't expected the Myriad Laws Cult to attack them so suddenly. Although they tried to resist, they were powerless, and in the end, they were all wiped out.

Overnight, everyone in the market turned into the undead. The next morning, the market returned to normal, and no one could tell that the people in the market had become the undead.

Such things are still happening in many places. Because the Myriad Laws Divine Sect cannot use too many of the Blood Slaughter Sect's methods, they failed to capture some markets, which were snatched back by that sect. However, they did capture some markets. At the same time, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect no longer sends troops to deal with multiple markets at the same time as before, because this tactic can no longer be used.

The reason this tactic can no longer be used is because those sects have learned their lesson. The reason the Silver Fir Sect failed to capture the market the first time was because they didn't go all out when they first tried to seize it; they only tested the waters. The second time, they didn't go all out either. It can be said that they weren't determined to take back the market even at great cost. So they gave the Myriad Laws Divine Sect an opportunity, allowing them to defend the market with only a small force. The third time, they were determined, but it was too late. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect directly closed the door and beat the dog, making the Silver Fir Sect hesitant to act. In the end, the Silver Fir Sect had no choice but to retreat.

However, the cultivators behind them were completely different. They knew that such probing attacks would only give the Myriad Laws Divine Sect an opportunity to calmly defend the market. Therefore, they decided not to give the Myriad Laws Divine Sect any more chances and went all out to seize the market in one fell swoop. This move was really effective. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect wanted to divide their forces to defend as before, but because of insufficient troops, the other sects seized the market in one fell swoop.

Having lost, they had to accept it. The Myriad Laws Sect didn't try to seize that market again. Instead, they continued to recruit people. The next time they attacked that market, they directly dispatched a large army to take it down in one fell swoop. They then deployed heavy troops to guard it. Moreover, as soon as they captured a market, they immediately sent people to build two or even three layers of defensive formations there, making it more difficult for those sects to reclaim the market.

As a result, the Myriad Laws Cult had to pay a huge price for every market it seized. But the strange thing is that such losses did not reduce their numbers; on the contrary, their numbers increased.

The aristocratic families and the royal family had been watching the conflict between the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and the various sects. Although neither sect had deployed its top experts, the losses among its disciples were considerable. Therefore, the aristocratic families and the royal family remained silent. They didn't actually want a full-scale war between the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and the sects, as that would plunge the Divine Kingdom into chaos again. The Divine Kingdom had already been chaotic enough. This conflict between the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and the Divine Kingdom was only a localized conflict, involving only low-level disciples on a small scale, and had little impact on the Divine Kingdom. In fact, it was a good thing for the aristocratic families and the royal family, because their main businesses were located in the cities. The conflict between the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and the sects was taking place in the markets. Chaos in the markets would draw many rogue cultivators to the cities to make a living, thus increasing the income of the aristocratic families and the royal family. Therefore, the royal family and the aristocratic families were happy to see the conflict between the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and the sects.

For the royal family, although the conflict between the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and the sects involved only ordinary disciples and seemed small in scale, it was still a good thing for them. In any case, the longer the conflict between the sects and the Myriad Laws Divine Sect lasted, the deeper their enmity would become, which would benefit the royal family.

As for the aristocratic families, they were also happy to see this situation. From any perspective, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect was a formidable opponent. If they were to truly clash with such an opponent, their losses would be enormous. Therefore, they were naturally delighted that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect had now set its sights on the sects.

This is the current situation in the Divine Kingdom. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect and various sects are constantly fighting over the markets, but the scale is not very large, and no experts have been sent to intervene. The aristocratic families and the royal family are fine and continue to develop peacefully. What they don't know is that all the garrison cities outside the Divine Kingdom have become part of the Blood Slaughter Sect, and nearly a third of the sects within the Divine Kingdom have also become part of the Blood Slaughter Sect. Of course, there are no large sects among these sects, but the number is already quite astonishing.

The main reason the Blood Slaughter Sect hasn't attacked the major sects is their fear of unforeseen circumstances. Their plan is to first take down the smaller sects, then the stronger ones, and finally the major ones. Previous events have shown the Blood Slaughter Sect that the major sects are incredibly powerful, each possessing a treasured artifact. These artifacts are extremely potent, and the Blood Slaughter Sect must be extremely cautious and fully prepared before attacking them. Otherwise, news of their actions could easily leak out. Once leaked, everyone in the Divine Kingdom will know that a force is annexing those sects, which will undoubtedly attract the attention of everyone in the Divine Kingdom.

Don't be fooled by the fact that all the forces in the Divine Kingdom seem to want to completely annihilate each other. If an external enemy suddenly appears, all the forces in the Divine Kingdom will unite against it. Although the various forces in the Divine Kingdom have their own conflicts, one thing is very important: the Divine Kingdom still exists, and the royal family still exists. This is extremely important.
