Bringing the farm to another world

Soon, the local government of Wuwei received another message from the military: there was no one or anything suspicious within a hundred miles outside the city, and everything was perfectly normal.

Although the magic array in the city was not yet set up, they were safe. However, this safety made Fang Wuwei feel very uneasy. After thinking for a while, Fang Wuwei invited Lü Xiaofang and General Chang, the military representative, to come over. General Chang was the military commander for this mission. Since General Li stayed at the base, General Chang was the military representative. He used to be General Li's deputy.

When the two arrived, Fang Wuwei didn't stand on ceremony and spoke directly: "Elder Lü, General Chang, I think you both know what's going on here. It seems the enemy has abandoned this place, but it's such a strategic location. I don't believe the enemy would give up. In my opinion, they might have some other schemes up their sleeves, so we can't just wait here. My idea is that we should act directly and take over all the small towns and sects that can be controlled by this city. Even if we can't build a defensive array there, we must send people to guard it. As long as we send people there, we'll know in advance if the enemy wants to attack us, and we can prepare accordingly. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Xiaofang was taken aback. He then frowned and asked, "Are we really going to do this? If we do, we'll have to divide our forces again. Is that alright?"

Fang Wuwei said in a deep voice, "If we want to build this place into a permanent base, then we have to do it this way. We will treat Qingyuan City as the city on the other side of Qianhe Mountain. After we take over the surrounding small sects and towns, we will immediately leave some small families or sects to garrison it. The enemy likes to use underground fortifications now, right? We can use them too. If those small families or sects find that the enemy's army is rushing over, they can choose to enter the underground fortifications or choose to escape. This way, we won't force them into a dead end, and we can better ensure the safety of Qingyuan City. As for Qingyuan City itself, we will immediately order those rogue cultivators to enter the underground fortifications in Qingyuan City and expand them there. This way, we might be able to settle everyone down."

The two were taken aback by Fang Wuwei's words, and then they nodded almost simultaneously. General Chang said, "Okay, I agree to do so. We do intend to build Qingyuan City into a permanent base, so we must make use of the territories of the surrounding small towns and sects. Therefore, I agree."

Lu Xiaofang said in a deep voice, "I agree as well."

Fang Wuwei said, "Alright, let's move out now. You two, take your troops, one to the left and one to the right, and take over all the sects and small towns within the control of Qingyuan City. Do the same for all the markets. Even the inconspicuous markets must be searched for underground fortifications. We must make sure that there are no enemies in the territory we control."

Lu Xiaofang and General Chang both responded. Fang Wuwei looked at Lu Xiaofang and said, "We don't need that many people to build the array. You leave the people who build the array here, and take the rest with you. I will stay here in Qingyuan City to defend against any accidents."

Both men responded, then bowed to Fang Wuwei before turning and leaving. After they left, they mustered their troops and began charging towards the left and right sides of Qingyuan City. Fang Wuwei, however, remained in Qingyuan City to arrange its defenses. He ordered the rogue cultivators to enter the underground fortifications and expand them, intending to build them into an underground base.

Everyone got busy, and when General Chang and Lü Xiaofang attacked from both sides, they didn't stay together but dispersed. They had maps, so they knew the locations of those small towns and sects. They sent people there directly, intending to take over all those territories in one fell swoop.

To their surprise, there wasn't a single enemy in those small towns and the territories of those minor sects. The underground fortifications were still there, but there wasn't a single person. It was as if the enemies had suddenly vanished. Most importantly, when they were on their way, they passed through some markets and villages where ordinary people lived, and there wasn't a single person in those places either. In some places, the furniture was still there, and all the things that people usually used in their homes were still there, but the people were gone, as if they had suddenly disappeared.

Upon seeing this situation, General Chang and Lü Xiaofang were at a loss. They immediately told Fang Wuwei about it. Fang Wuwei was also unsure. Apart from having General Chang and Lü Xiaofang leave people there to guard the area, he didn't have any better ideas. At the same time, he also wrote a letter to General Li, telling him about the situation and wanting to hear what General Li had to say.

General Li was quite surprised after hearing his words. He hadn't expected to encounter this situation. Now he didn't know what the Blood Slaughter Sect was planning. However, he still affirmed Fang Wuwei's actions. If he were in this situation, he would do the same. He instructed Fang Wuwei to leave a small portion of the dispatched army to garrison in those small towns and sects. The rest of the army should retreat back to Qingyuan City. Their most important task was to defend Qingyuan City. They could ignore the small sects and towns surrounding Qingyuan City.

After telling Fang Wuwei about these things, he immediately wrote a letter to Gongliang Juewen, telling him about their current situation. He did not ask Gongliang Juewen what they should do, because he believed that after receiving his letter, Gongliang Juewen and the others would definitely discuss it with others.

Meanwhile, Lu Lingguang and members of another small family were stationed in a small town. Upon their arrival, Lu Lingguang immediately invited the head of that small family over. The head of the small family was very polite to Lu Lingguang, bowing respectfully. Lu Lingguang returned the bow, then carefully examined the family head before smiling slightly and asking, "One of our own?"

Upon hearing this, the head of the small family was taken aback, then his expression changed, and he asked, "One of our own?"

Lu Lingguang smiled slightly and said, "This is truly a lifesaver."

The family head smiled slightly and replied, "Fate is fickle."

Upon hearing this, both men breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged a smile. Their two sentences were a code. Lu Lingguang's "save from suffering" meant that their current deity was called the God of Salvation, while the patriarch's "fate plays tricks" meant that the original god was the God of Creation. Only those who believed in the God of Creation would know this. Now that the code had matched, they were certain that the god was one of their own, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Lingguang looked at the family head and said, "I'm just being polite because we're all family. I have a magical artifact here that was bestowed upon me by a god. It can create an illusion array so that the enemy can't find us. I'll use it in a moment. Then, our two families will go into the underground fortifications in this city together. From there, we'll open a passage outwards, the farther away from the city the better. If the enemy really comes, we'll just leave through the underground passage. What do you think?"

The family head immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Lu Lingguang nodded and immediately went to make arrangements. At the same time, he took out the magic artifact he had used in the market and activated it. In the next moment, the small town had turned into a forest. Lu Lingguang and the others left a few people in the town to watch over the situation outside, while the rest of them went into the underground fortifications to open up a passage to the outside.

The passage they were to open this time couldn't be too small, as that would affect their speed of retreat; nor could it be too large, as that would prevent them from sealing it off during their retreat, allowing the enemy to catch up with them. Their plan was to open a passage, discover the enemy, and immediately retreat, sealing off the passage as they retreated so that the enemy couldn't find it, thus ensuring their safety.

Of course, neither family objected. Although they were both quite strong, they were currently engaged in a major battle with the enemy, whose attacks involved millions of soldiers. Even if their families were strong, they couldn't possibly compete with a million-strong army. Therefore, they still needed to ensure their own safety.

They were busy until nightfall. After dark, Lu Lingguang arranged for a few people to guard outside, while the rest stayed in the underground space. Lu Lingguang was very careful. Although they now worshipped the God of Creation, it did not mean they would not die. They could still die, so Lu Lingguang still valued his life.

Lu Linguang was also very clear about the current situation. If the enemy really wanted to counterattack, they would act quickly. If they didn't make full preparations, they would be waiting to die.

Lu Li is a disciple of the Lu family. He is currently sitting on the city wall of the small town. His task is to monitor the surroundings and see if there is any movement. There are several other people like him, who are distributed in different positions on the city wall. Although they know that the enemy may come from the sky, they also know that the enemy may come from underground or from the ground. If they come from the sky, it is fine, as they can spot them from a distance. But if they come from underground or from the ground, they have to be careful. That is why they have been guarding the city wall.

Calculating the time, it was almost 9 PM. Lu Li couldn't help but yawn. Although he was a cultivator and didn't need to sleep, he still habitually took a nap every night. So, at this hour, he was still a little sleepy. Although he was sleepy, it didn't mean he couldn't persevere. People like him could go without sleep for days without any problems. Just then, a sudden change occurred... (End of Chapter)
