Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16343 The Lu Family

Gongliang Juewen glanced at everyone and then said, "Alright, if no one has any objections, then it's settled. We are currently on the offensive, so we don't need to worry about the enemy attacking. Therefore, we really don't need to leave so many people at the Qianhe Mountain line. Transferring people from that line to the front line is indeed the most appropriate choice. We'll issue the notice in a bit and let them start their operation. However, we must take care of their families."

Everyone nodded silently. They all understood perfectly well that those small sects and families were meant to be sacrificed when necessary. Don't be fooled by their grand pronouncements about sect alliances and aristocratic family alliances, claiming that all sects and families were in the same alliance. It was all just talk. Did a large sect like the Heavenly Profound Sect really care about those small sects? Did they really consider them when making decisions? Impossible. They wouldn't care about the lives of those small sects. In fact, to them, those small sects were no different from ordinary rogue cultivators. Therefore, they had absolutely no qualms about sacrificing those small sects or families.

The cultivation world can be cruel sometimes. When things are peaceful, everyone can be nice to each other, and even let you exist just to save face. Even if you're weak, I can pretend to respect you. But if a life-or-death situation arises and I need cannon fodder, then you'll be the cannon fodder. What? You don't want to be cannon fodder? I have plenty of ways to make you one. If you stubbornly refuse to be cannon fodder, fine, then go die.

The survival logic of major sects and powerful families has always been this: when it comes to life and death, even if it means letting you die first to buy them one more second of survival time, they will not hesitate to sacrifice you.

Therefore, small sects should not think about taking advantage of the situation, or that they can let the big sects fight the enemy first and then sit back and watch the fight. That is impossible. Even if the big sects are going to die, they will let the small sects die first, and then they will go up. This is the cruelest reality in the cultivation world.

Gongliang Juewen looked at everyone and said, "Recruiting rogue cultivators to participate in the war and sending those small sects and families to the front lines—that's what we need to do next. Everyone can go back and make arrangements." Everyone responded, then stood up, bowed to Gongliang Juewen, and turned to leave.

After they left, Gongliang Juewen stood up and slowly walked out of the main hall. As he walked, he muttered to himself, "These guys are really good at scheming."

Once he returned to his study, he immediately called Chang Jun and told him what had happened. After listening to him, Chang Jun nodded and said, "That's quite a scheme, but using the rogue cultivator tactic is useless against us. We can just deal with them. It seems they really don't have any better options."

Gongliang Juewen said, "That's true. However, a large portion of those going to the front lines are from small sects and aristocratic families. Their families will be held back, so they will not surrender and will fight with all their might. Sects cannot hold back when facing these people."

Chang Jun nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. He did a great job. That's how it should be. You have to forget your identity as a sect disciple first. Only in this way will the sects and aristocratic families not suspect you. Remember, you don't need to do anything. Your current identity is the most important thing to the sect. Do you understand?"

Gongliang Juewen responded, and Chang Jun nodded, then said, "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. Just do as you've arranged. The sect has its own way of dealing with this." Gongliang Juewen responded again and then hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, the Lu family also received a letter from the aristocratic alliance. All the able-bodied members of the Lu family were required to prepare to go to the front lines, but the elderly and weak members of the Lu family were required to live in a city in the rear.

Upon receiving this news, Lu Lingguang immediately summoned all the elders of the Lu family. Looking at them, he said, "I just received news from the Aristocratic Family Alliance that all of our Lu family members who are capable of fighting have been ordered to the front lines. General Li and his men have established a base there, and they require us all to go to that base. As for the elderly and weak in the family, they have been transferred to a city in the rear. Their safety should be guaranteed."

Upon hearing Lu Linguang's words, the Lu family members were taken aback, and then their expressions changed. One of the Lu family members said, "Ancestor, isn't this using our family members as hostages and forcing us to our deaths? Isn't this going too far?" The others also looked at Lu Linguang.

Lu Lingguang glanced at everyone and then said, "If they don't guarantee the safety of our families and instead send our entire families to the front lines, would we dare disobey?" Upon hearing this, the Lu family members fell silent, their faces grim. Lu Lingguang was right. Even if they weren't allowed to settle their families and were forced to go to the front lines, they would have to go. They dared not disobey. Although their family members had all become followers of the God of Creation and their strength was rapidly increasing—some were almost at the Kingdom level—their family's size was still far inferior to the Aristocratic Alliance. If they dared to disobey the Aristocratic Alliance, they would be doomed. At that time, the Aristocratic Alliance could easily deal with them without anyone objecting. Lu Lingguang looked at everyone and continued, "Actually, this order isn't necessarily a bad thing for us."

His words startled everyone in the Lu family. Lu Lingguang said, "Although the order says that all the capable people in our family should go to the front line, how many capable people our Lu family has is not up to us. We can take some of the family's talented disciples, the family's stored supplies, and the family's heritage to a safe place. This way, we can ensure the family's inheritance. Of course, this is only one aspect. The other aspect is missionary work."

"Our most important task now is missionary work, but we have no way to contact outsiders and therefore cannot missionary work at all. Isn't this incident a perfect opportunity? The elderly and weak in our families can go to the safe rear to missionary work, while we can go directly to the front lines to missionary work. However, before missionary work, we must ask the all-knowing and all-powerful God whether we should change the name of our sect. After all, the Creation God Sect is now universally hated in the God Kingdom. If we want to missionary work, mentioning the name of the Creation God Sect will arouse suspicion and make missionary work even more difficult. But changing the name and then missionary work may be much easier."

Everyone nodded, agreeing with his reasoning. However, whether it was feasible or not depended on the God of Creation's opinion. But since they had made their decision, that was fine. The next step was to consult the God.

Lu Lingguang quickly went to ask the God of Creation, who readily agreed to the name change. In his view, it was just a matter of passing on a name, nothing more, as long as it could spread the religion.

The Creation God Cult itself changed its name; their new sect was called the Salvation Cult, meaning to save people from suffering. At this time, choosing this name was definitely the best choice.

After making the decision, Lu Lingguang and his group began packing. The Lu family split into two groups. One group, led by an elder, consisted of the elderly, the weak, and the talented disciples, along with the family's heritage and supplies. They traveled by teleportation array to a relatively safe city in the rear. The other group, led by Lu Lingguang, consisted of the Lu family's able-bodied members and flew directly towards Qianhe Mountain. They already knew where General Li and his men had established their base, and that was where they were headed. The teleportation array there was not yet completed, but they needed support, which was why Gongliang Juewen and his men had transferred them to the front lines.

Lu Lingguang led the Lu family members and quickly crossed Qianhe Mountain, then flew straight towards where General Li and his men were. Even if they went to the front lines, they wouldn't go to General Li's troops, but rather to the Aristocratic Alliance. Soon, they arrived at the base, which was still under construction. The most important parts were the teleportation array and the defensive array, which couldn't be completed in a short time. After arriving, Lu Lingguang and his group went directly to the Aristocratic Alliance.

When Lü Xiaofang heard that the Lu family had arrived, he didn't say much. He simply asked them for help. Even if they didn't understand magic arrays, they could help level the ground and build some houses.

Lu Lingguang and the others naturally did not object. Instead, they all got busy. While they were busy, people from other families gradually arrived. However, all of them were from small families. Their situation was similar to that of Lu Lingguang and the others. They were all sent here to guard the city.

However, their situation was far worse than that of the Lu family. They all had gloomy faces and looked very unwilling, which was a far cry from that of the Lu family.

They were also asked to help, and although reluctantly, they had no choice but to do so. However, they were given time to rest in the evening. Lu Lingguang saw this as an opportunity, so he took the initiative to visit the newly arrived families. Although Lü Xiaofang received the news, he didn't interfere. In his view, it was understandable for those smaller families to want to band together for survival, since their families were already back in the rear and they wouldn't betray them. Let them stick together if they wanted; so although he knew about it, he didn't intervene. This gave Lu Lingguang the opportunity to freely visit those smaller families. (End of Chapter)
