Bringing the farm to another world

The Lu family of Qingyang is a small family with only one Kingdom-level expert. Moreover, this expert is quite old, which has led to a shortage of capable successors. Once their old Kingdom-level expert passes away, the family will face a situation where there is no expert to lead the family. If they are in a situation where there is no Kingdom-level expert to lead the family, the entire family will become a piece of fat meat that everyone wants to take a bite out of.

Just as the Lu family of Qingyang was worrying about their future, a sudden change occurred. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect had rebelled and occupied the entire area west of Thousand Lotus Mountain. To be honest, the Lu family members were stunned when they heard the news, and then they were filled with fear. Their family was located in a small mountain very close to Thousand Lotus Mountain. In this small town, there was not only their family, but also the Wang family. The Wang family was in a much better situation than theirs. The Wang family had two Kingdom-level experts. One of these experts was old, but the other was in his prime. Over the years, the Lu family had been on guard against the Wang family because they knew very well that once the Lu family's ancestor died, the Wang family would pounce like hungry wolves, and then their Lu family would be in danger.

But at this very moment, this happened, which made the Lu family feel both shocked and fortunate. Luckily, their family was in Qingyang City; otherwise, they would have been dealt with by the Wanfa Divine Sect.

Just as the Lu family was feeling relieved, the Lu family patriarch summoned them to his room. Once they arrived, the patriarch said to them, "Have your family prepare. Pack up all the valuables in the family. Hide what you can, and move what you can't immediately. Also, move some of the family's most talented disciples away."

Upon hearing what their ancestor said, everyone in the Lu family was taken aback. Then, one of them looked at the Lu family ancestor and asked, "Ancestor, why?"

The Lu family patriarch glanced at the bewildered members of the Lu family and couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, compared to the lack of a kingdom-level expert to succeed him, he was more worried about the current members of the Lu family. They were all too naive. Years of pampered life had long since made them lose their sense of crisis, so they thought very simply and hadn't seen the real story behind this matter.

If a family doesn't have a visionary leader, it won't go very far. But vision is something that's not easy to cultivate. That's why the Lu family patriarch had such a pessimistic view. He worried that after his death, the Lu family would be finished.

But there was nothing he could do; after all, these people were his descendants. He sighed and then asked, "Do you think the Divine Society will allow the Myriad Laws Divine Cult to carve out territory and establish itself as a kingdom?"

The Lu family members all shook their heads. Then, one of the Lu family elders suddenly realized and said, "We are too close to Thousand Lotus Mountain. If the Divine Kingdom is going to attack the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, then we will become the front line. If we don't prepare early, when the army arrives, our family members may be conscripted. At that time, I'm afraid our entire family will be in danger."

When the others heard him say this, they all understood what he meant. The Lu family might be considered a significant figure in this city, but in the face of the entire Divine Kingdom, the Lu family was nothing. When the army arrived, if they really conscripted our family, the Lu family wouldn't even have a chance to refuse. Conscription might sound okay, but for a small family, a conscription order can sometimes really destroy a family and clan.

The Lu family members' expressions all changed. They realized the seriousness of the situation. Just as they were about to take action, a knock came at the door. The Lu family patriarch's expression shifted, and then he said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and a servant walked in, bowed to the Lu family patriarch, and said, "Patriarch, the city lord's mansion has sent someone to convey a message, requesting that you come to discuss matters."

The old patriarch of the Lu family's face changed, and then he said to the members of the Lu family, "Look, they've arrived. Alright, you all go and prepare. I'm going to check on the city lord's mansion." After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

The Lu family members' expressions all changed. They immediately stood up and followed the Lu family patriarch out. They had to pack up all the family's belongings properly, and pack everything they could carry, ready to take it with them at any time. Otherwise, if the army arrived and came to their house to requisition their things, they would have no choice but to hand them over, even if they didn't want to.

The Lu family patriarch quickly arrived at the city lord's mansion, where a steward was already waiting for him. Upon seeing him, the steward immediately bowed to the patriarch, who returned the bow. The steward then led the patriarch inside, and soon they arrived at a room. The steward knocked on the door, went in, and emerged shortly after, bowing to the patriarch and saying, "Lord Lu, please come in." The patriarch nodded and then led his men inside.

After they entered, the Lu family patriarch saw that the two kingdom-level experts from the Wang family had also arrived, and the one sitting in the main seat was the city lord. After the Lu family patriarch bowed to the three of them, the city lord invited him to sit down. After the Lu family patriarch sat down, the city lord looked at the three of them and said, "You have all heard about the matter of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. His Majesty has decided to use force against the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. However, His Majesty also said that we should consider defeat before victory. If we are really defeated, the enemy will not be able to attack us. At that time, our small cities will be the first to bear the brunt, and we will not be able to stop the enemy's attack. Therefore, His Majesty has decided to relocate all the people in our city to the rear. That is why I have called you here today to discuss this matter."

Upon hearing the city lord's words, the Lu family patriarch was taken aback. He then turned to look at the two kingdom-level experts from the Wang family, who also looked surprised, clearly having just learned of the matter. The Lu family patriarch immediately asked, "City lord, do you mean that His Majesty has decided to relocate us to the rear?"

The city lord shook his head and said, "It can't be said that we'll move to the rear. His Majesty plans to build a defensive line here, but small cities like ours will be abandoned."

Upon hearing this, the Lu family patriarch's expression grew even more grim. He looked at the city lord and asked, "What about the people in the city? What about the ordinary people?"

The city lord said, “They will be relocated to safer places in the rear, but you will not be. Although small cities like ours have been abandoned, some large cities and major sects have been left behind. These large cities and major sects are like nails driven into this place, and you will be relocated to satellite cities on the outskirts of these large cities or major sects. You will be stationed there, and once the enemy really comes, you will be responsible for alerting those large cities or major sects.”

Upon hearing the city lord's words, the expressions of the Lu family patriarch and the two kingdom-level experts from the Wang family completely changed. This was not a garrison duty; it was clearly using them as cannon fodder, and on the front lines at that, waiting to be killed. If they were stationed on the outskirts of those major cities or sects, they would be the first to be dealt with when the enemy arrived, and their entire clan would be in danger of extermination.

Upon realizing this, the Wang family patriarch spoke up, "Lord City Lord, aren't we just sending them to their deaths?"

The city lord glanced at him and then said, "Don't put it so harshly. What do you mean by 'going to your deaths'? Didn't you all go to the outskirts of those big cities or major sects? Compared to where you are here, you would be much safer there. And did you have the right to refuse?"

Both the Wang and Lu family patriarchs remained silent. Although the city lord's words were harsh, they were true. Small families like theirs had no right to refuse. If they dared to refuse, they would be wiped out before the enemy could even come to destroy them.

Seeing that they had fallen silent, the city lord continued, "Go back and pack your things. Don't even think about leaving the city. Now, you can only enter, not leave. The army has taken control of the city, and the city's teleportation array has been shut down. So don't even think about running away. Go back and prepare yourself, and wait for orders from above. Wherever you are ordered to be stationed, that's where you'll be stationed. And it's not just you going; all your family members must go too. Do you understand?"

The Lu family patriarch's expression changed again. He truly hadn't expected the city lord to say such a thing. Was His Majesty being too ruthless? Was he afraid they would run away, so he simply put them under guard? They couldn't even make any arrangements. In other words, it was almost impossible for them to leave any trace of their family line this time.

The Wang family patriarch's expression was also not good. He glanced at the city lord and then said, "City Lord, is it really necessary to do this?"

The city lord glanced at him, then said in a deep voice, "What do you think? You don't think this is something I can decide or change, do you? I can barely take care of myself right now. Do you think that just because you went to those places, I don't need to go? We may not be in the same place, but I can't escape the fate of being stationed here."

Upon hearing the city lord's words, the Wang family patriarch fell silent. He didn't know what to say. Just as the city lord said, they had no way to change this situation and could only accept their fate. Small families like theirs had absolutely no room to resist the orders of the divine kingdom.

Looking at their expressions, the city lord sighed softly and said, "Go back and prepare properly. It's always better to be prepared, no matter what. We'll only meet again if fate allows, and perhaps never again." With that, he waved his hand, dismissing the Lu family patriarch and the Wang family patriarchs. Seeing the city lord's action, the Lu and Wang family patriarchs said nothing. They all stood up, bowed to the city lord, and turned to leave, their hearts filled with sorrow. (End of Chapter)
