Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16382 Speculation
Upon hearing this, Wan Ling frowned slightly, then said, "We don't know yet, but let's be prepared." The others all responded, their eyes still fixed on the projection. Fortunately, the worst-case scenario didn't occur. The magic released by the Creation Golden Wheel only broke through the soil and reached the first level of the underground base before stopping. To be precise, it was blocked by the magic array on the first level. Seeing this, Wan Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the worst hadn't happened, and he was relieved.

At that moment, countless cultivators flew out from those golden wheels of creation. These cultivators went directly into the underground base through the openings created by the golden wheels of creation, and the battle ensued.

Wan Hui was a disciple of the Wan family. He was assigned to the first floor. He knew it was very dangerous, but an order was an order, and he dared not disobey. Even though he was a member of the Wan family, he dared not disobey orders.

He saw the Blood Slaughter Sect members using the Creation Golden Wheel to break through the soil and create a passage leading directly to the underground base. He knew then that a fierce battle was inevitable, but he was prepared for it.

The battle broke out quickly, with countless Blood Slaughter Sect disciples rushing into the underground base. Wan Hui clashed with a Blood Slaughter Sect disciple, but he was very familiar with the terrain of the underground base, so he fought and retreated while fighting the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple. He planned to retreat to where there were more of them and join the others in attacking the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple.

He retreated quite a distance, and just then, a cultivator from a small family suddenly emerged from the cave wall and attacked the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple. The Blood Slaughter Sect disciple was clearly prepared, but the small family disciple's attack was too sudden. So, although he was prepared, his preparation was still somewhat inadequate. The small family disciple's longsword pierced directly into the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple's neck.

However, that Blood Slaughter Sect disciple was no pushover either. Just as the longsword pierced his neck, the long saber in his hand suddenly twisted and stabbed into the chest of the minor family disciple. Before the minor family disciple's smug expression could disappear, he was stunned. He stared blankly at the long saber, his face full of disbelief. He had not expected that the opponent's dying counterattack would be so powerful, that it could actually take him down with him.

The next moment, the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with resentment. In the end, he died. The disciple from the small family, on the other hand, turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

Wan Hui, who was just about to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples, was dumbfounded when he saw this situation. After a while, his expression changed, and he immediately said, "The Creation God Sect?"

Thinking of this, he immediately glanced around, then moved swiftly, disappearing from the passage in the blink of an eye. After he vanished, the Blood Slaughter Sect disciple who had been lying dead on the ground rose again. He glanced in the direction Wan Hui had fled and muttered, "Not very bold." After saying this, he disappeared again. He was ready to withdraw from the battle. Since his body had disappeared, no one would suspect anything. People in the Divine Kingdom knew that after a Blood Slaughter Sect member died in battle, their body was usually collected by other members of the sect. So even if his body disappeared, Wan Hui wouldn't suspect anything; he would only assume that someone from the Blood Slaughter Sect had passed by and taken his body, and wouldn't suspect that he had been resurrected. His goal, however, had been achieved. He had shown Wan Hui that the disciple from that small family had turned into black smoke, thus revealing that the member of that small family had become a member of the Creation God Sect.

In fact, all the battles in the underground base were under the control of the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples. Before attacking the underground base, the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples already knew who had become members of the Creation God Cult in the underground base of Wuwei City. They only needed to kill the members of the Creation God Cult in front of the disciples of those major families, and let their corpses turn into black smoke. Then the disciples of that major family would naturally know that the members of the Creation God Cult had appeared again.

In fact, it wasn't just the people from those large families who discovered that there were members of the Creation God Cult here; the military personnel and sect members also discovered that there were members of the Creation God Cult.

Meanwhile, the Blood Slaughter Sect's losses were increasing, and all the disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect withdrew from the underground base. After they left the underground base, they returned directly to the Creation Golden Wheels, which then flew straight towards Thousand Lotus Mountain, passing over Thousand Lotus Mountain in the blink of an eye and disappearing.

After the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples retreated, Wan Ling, who had been gathering intelligence from all sides, said in a deep voice, "They have actually made it to the eighth floor. They will reach us in just a few more floors."

Another elder nodded and said, "That's right. I really didn't expect them to attack so fiercely, and they actually made it to the eighth floor."

"However, their losses this time were also enormous. They must have lost at least ten million people, right?"

"More or less. The Blood Slaughter Sect probably didn't have that many people. They couldn't afford such losses, so they retreated. It seems they won't easily attack our underground base again next time." Everyone nodded. Wan Ling said, "I will report this situation immediately. General Li must also know about this result." The other elders also nodded.

At this moment, a disciple entered. He approached Wan Ling but didn't speak. Instead, he glanced at the other elders. Wan Ling noticed his expression. He didn't ask the disciple what he wanted to say but waved his hand. The disciple stepped aside. Wan Ling then turned to the elders and said, "Gentlemen, you should go back and make arrangements. Report the results of this battle." Knowing that Wan Ling wanted to speak with the disciple privately, the elders didn't linger. They bowed to Wan Ling and left.

After the elders left, Wan Ling asked the disciple who was about to speak, "What is it?"

The disciple spoke up: "Elder, the disciples of the clan reported that during the battle, they discovered that some disciples from smaller clans did not leave behind their bodies after death, but instead turned into wisps of black smoke. If those disciples from smaller clans had not died in front of them and their bodies had not turned into black smoke in front of them, they would not have believed what they saw."

Upon hearing what the disciple said, Wan Ling's expression changed drastically. He asked, "Are you sure? It really turned into black smoke?"

The disciple nodded and said, "Yes, it can be confirmed, because more than one disciple reported this matter, which shows that it is true."

Wan Ling waved his hand and said, "Alright, go down. Remember, don't tell anyone about this." The disciple responded, then bowed to Wan Ling and stepped aside.

Wan Ling immediately took out a jade slip, typed in some information, and sent it out. It contained a battle report for General Li. Then he took out another jade slip, wrote something on it, and sent it out as well. This time it wasn't for General Li, but for Wan Hai. In addition to the battle report, the jade slip also contained information about the corpses of members of a small family turning into black smoke after their deaths. He could tell Wan Hai about this immediately, but he couldn't tell General Li immediately.

In fact, all the major families and sect leaders knew about this matter immediately, because their family members or sect disciples had also seen the same situation.

While Wan Ling and his group were dealing with the post-war situation, Wan Hai and the others also learned of the matter. Upon learning of this, Wan Hai's expression changed, and he immediately summoned several core elders of the Wan family to his study. After they all arrived, he looked at everyone and said, "Wan Ling has sent back a letter from the front lines. Take a look at it first." As he spoke, he took out a jade slip and handed it to one of the elders. After reading it, the elder's expression changed, and he immediately passed it to another elder. Before long, all the elders had finished reading the contents of the letter.

At this moment, an elder spoke up: "Is this the Creation God Cult?"

The other elders remained silent, but they all knew that the elder was right; it was indeed the Creation God Sect, without a doubt.

Wan Hai spoke up: "Everyone knows about the Creation God Sect. They were supposed to be wiped out, but no one expected them to rise from the ashes. What do you think we should do about this?"

At this moment, one of the elders spoke up: "Should we report this to His Majesty? If we do, will His Majesty order a thorough investigation? If we do that, you should know what the consequences will be. The front lines will definitely be greatly affected."

Wan Hai said in a deep voice, "I'm also having a headache over this matter. If it's reported, His Majesty will definitely investigate it thoroughly, which will definitely affect the front lines. But what I'm worried about now is whether His Majesty already knows about this. Don't forget, this battle in Wuwei City wasn't just participated in by our aristocratic families. People from the sect alliance, the military, and the royal family all participated. If our family members can find out, other families can find out, people from the sect alliance can find out, and people from the military and the royal family can find out too. If His Majesty also knows about this, then there will definitely be changes at the front lines. And what worries me even more, do you know? It's that I'm worried that there might be people from the Blood Slaughter Sect among those rogue cultivators. Don't forget, the Blood Slaughter Sect has a branch that is the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. And there were so many rogue cultivators who joined the Myriad Laws Divine Sect before. Although they may not have joined sincerely, they are still disciples of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. If the Myriad Laws Divine Sect wants to get some information from them, it won't be difficult."
