Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16355 Discovery
Lu Lingguang led the Lu family and another small family members forward slowly. They had been hiding in the underground passage for a long time. After confirming that no one had noticed them, they put away the magical artifact that could create illusions. Then they carefully flew towards Qingyuan City. However, they did not approach Qingyuan City because they could see from afar that Qingyuan City had already been breached. Therefore, they dared not approach Qingyuan City under these circumstances.

Lu Lingguang immediately decided to lead everyone back to the base. Although they might be punished if they returned to the base, Lu Lingguang and the others did not want to die. They knew very well that if they stayed in Qingyuan City, they would die, so they had no choice but to return to the base.

However, when Lu Lingguang and his group returned to the base, they noticed something was wrong from afar. They discovered that the base seemed to have been the site of a major battle, and the defensive array there appeared to have disappeared. Yet, many people were going in and out, and most importantly, they didn't recognize any of them. Moreover, judging from the clothes they were wearing, they weren't their people.

Lu Lingguang decisively bypassed the base and returned directly to their territory without going through Qianhe Mountain. He didn't want to take any risks. He knew very well that if nothing happened at the base, they would be punished for deserting. But no matter what, he was a kingdom-level expert, and the Lu family had several other kingdom-level experts. At most, they would only be punished and should not die.

However, if they risked going to the base, they might really die, so Lu Lingguang led everyone directly over Qianhe Mountain and back to their territory.

Upon returning to their territory, Lu Linguang immediately led his men to Wuwei City, which was the territory of the Aristocratic Family Alliance. As members of the Aristocratic Family Alliance, they had to go to Wuwei City.

When they arrived in Wuwei City, they found that the city was on high alert, with its defensive array already activated. Moreover, the people there seemed to be ready for battle, and they all appeared very nervous upon seeing Lu Lingguang and his group, even showing signs of wanting to attack them.

Upon seeing this situation, Lu Linguang immediately shouted, "I am Lu Linguang, and I have just returned from the enemy's war zone. We wish to see Elder Shi."

Elder Shi's name is Shi Yong. He is an elder of the Shi family and the current commander of the aristocratic alliance. Of course, the original commander was Lü Xiaofang, and Shi Yong was the deputy commander. However, Lu Lingguang had seen the situation in Qingyuan City, so he believed that Lü Xiaofang might not be able to return. Therefore, he directly requested to see Shi Yong.

Upon hearing him introduce himself, the people of Wuwei City immediately reported the matter. After hearing about it, Shi Yong immediately ordered Lu Lingguang and the others to be brought back. However, before bringing them in, he sealed all their spiritual energy, making it impossible for them to use it. In this way, they were no different from ordinary people.

Lu Lingguang was brought before Shi Yong. Shi Yong looked at Lu Lingguang, whom he did not recognize, and frowned, asking, "You said you came back from enemy-occupied territory? How did you get back?"

Lu Lingguang immediately spoke up: "This is a long story. Our Lu family and the Wang family went to attack Qingyuan City with the main army. But when we arrived at Qingyuan City, we found that there was no one there. So we received orders to attack some small towns and sects around Qingyuan City. But we found that there was no one there either. Since we were going to occupy Qingyuan City permanently, those small towns and sects needed to be garrisoned. Our two families were assigned to garrison a small town. We were very careful at the time. Most of us hid in the underground fortifications of the small town. The people monitoring outside also used illusion magic to hide themselves. That night, we heard the sound of wind breaking, but we didn't see anyone. We immediately reported this. We, on the other hand, remained hidden in the underground fortifications. After confirming that it was safe outside, we wanted to return to Qingyuan City, but we found that Qingyuan City had been occupied by the enemy. We then wanted to return to the base, but we found that the base had also been occupied. So we had no choice but to come back."

Upon hearing Lu Lingguang's words, Shi Neng was taken aback. Then, somewhat surprised, he said, "You were the first to sound the alarm. Not bad, not bad. But you were really careful. It's truly beyond my expectations that nothing happened. By the way, you said you're from the Lu family. Which Lu family? Does anyone know you?"

Lu Lingguang immediately replied, "Elder Shi, we are the Lu family of Qingyang. Although our family is small, many people should know us. You can ask around and you will find out."

Shi Yong nodded, then waved to a disciple and asked him to find someone who knew the Lu family. The disciple responded and went to find someone. Soon he found someone who knew Lu Lingguang. When the person came in and saw Lu Lingguang, he was quite surprised. Shi Yong then looked at the person and asked, "Do you know him?"

The man nodded and said, "I know him. He is Lu Linguang, the ancestor of the Lu family of Qingyang."

Shi Yong nodded, then waved for the man to leave. After the man left, he turned to Lu Lingguang and said, "It seems your identity is clear. You can go back now. There will be new tasks for you in a few days." Lu Lingguang responded, then bowed to Shi Yong and left.

Once outside, the restrictions on him were lifted, and his spiritual energy was restored. He then returned to his home. Lu Lingguang knew that it was best for him to do nothing for now; any rash action would arouse suspicion from the enemy. While Lu Lingguang dared not do anything, Chang Jun was holding a meeting with the Blood Slaughter Sect members. Their operation had been under their control, and they had perfectly achieved their strategic mission: to drive the enemy back. Their next step was to launch an attack.

Once everyone had arrived, Chang Jun spoke up: "This attack went very smoothly. The next step is to penetrate enemy territory. We already know how they defend their territory, so we must be careful during the attack and not expose too much. If necessary, we can even retreat. Do you understand?"

Everyone responded, and then an elder spoke up: "Elder Chang, one of my disciples has reported a situation that I think we must take seriously."

Chang Jun was taken aback, then immediately asked, "What's going on?"

The elder said, "When dealing with those enemies, some people discovered that after some enemies died, their bodies turned into a cloud of black mist, leaving no corpses behind. Naturally, they could not have become undead. Moreover, the condition of those people after death looked the same as that of the people of the Creation God Sect after death. Therefore, those people may be members of the Creation God Sect."

Upon hearing this, Chang Jun was taken aback. Then, his expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "The Creation God Cult? Didn't we already wipe out everyone in the Creation God Cult? How come there are new members of the Creation God Cult? Has the Creation God Cult risen from the ashes? Or are there other people among them who have been lying in wait that we haven't discovered?"

The elder shook his head, indicating he didn't know. Chang Jun glanced at everyone, then frowned and asked, "Do you know who those people are? From sects? From aristocratic families?"

“They are from prominent families, but belong to different smaller clans,” the elder said.

Chang Jun frowned and said, "I really didn't expect that the people from the Creation God Sect would come out again. This is too strange."

“There’s nothing strange about it.” A voice suddenly interjected. As soon as Chang Jun heard the familiar voice, he immediately stood up and looked in the direction from which the voice came. Sure enough, he saw Zhao Hai standing there quietly. When everyone saw him, they all stood up and bowed to Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai waved his hand, gesturing for them to sit down, and then said, "There's really nothing strange about this. You don't actually think that a sect like the Creation God Cult really relies solely on people to spread its teachings, do you?"

Chang Jun and the others were all stunned for a moment, then they all shook their heads. Then Chang Jun said, "I understand. They must be using idols to preach, or even preaching in dreams. These are all possible, which is why people from the Creation God Cult have reappeared."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "The Creation God Cult used to preach here in the Divine Kingdom, and even became the state religion at one point. Although it has been destroyed, the God of Creation knows the coordinates of this place. If he wants revenge or to preach, there are many ways for him to do so. Just like you said, he can preach through statues or even preach in dreams. These are all possible. Each statue of the God of Creation is like a clear coordinate point, so it is normal for the God of Creation to preach here in secret."

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Chang Jun and the others all nodded. Zhao Hai continued, "However, there's no need to worry. No matter how strong the God of Creation's missionary abilities are, they can't corrupt our Blood Slaughter Sect. We just need to attack the Divine Kingdom according to our plan. As long as we turn everyone in the Divine Kingdom into our people, it won't matter how many people they've hidden in the Divine Kingdom. We will definitely be able to eliminate them in the end."

Everyone nodded, and Chang Jun said, "I wonder how many members of the Creation God Cult are hiding in the Divine Kingdom. Young Master, should we tell Gongliang Juewen about this and ask him to investigate as well?"

Zhao Hai thought for a moment, then said, "Telling Gongliang Juewen is fine, but don't investigate. If Gongliang Juewen investigates now, how will he explain to others how he discovered the Creation God Cult? So tell him not to investigate for now, just keep an eye on this situation. If he can discover the Creation God Cult, then of course we should investigate. If he can't, then forget it. After all, forcibly investigating the Creation God Cult might cause panic in the Divine Kingdom, which would easily expose Gongliang Juewen and his group's identities."
