Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16386 Reminder
"You mean, Wan Ling said that the Creation God Cult will no longer be hunted down? And he even encouraged people to worship the Creation God Cult?" Lu Lingguang asked, looking at the Li family head in front of him.

The Li family head nodded and said, "Yes, Elder Wan told me this himself, and indeed no one has come looking for us these past few days. If Elder Wan hadn't mentioned this to me, I wouldn't have known that we had been exposed."

Lu Lingguang sat there, frowning. After a while, he finally spoke, "We should be careful about this matter. We can't completely trust them. Let's do it this way: develop things in secret, just like before. Don't bring things out into the open, and see what they do."

Lu Lingguang's meaning was quite clear: he still didn't believe that the Divine Kingdom would really let the Creation God Cult go. Therefore, they couldn't act recklessly and had to develop in secret to see what would happen next. He was worried that the Divine Kingdom was trying to lure them out. On the surface, they said they wouldn't hunt down the Creation God Cult anymore, but if all the members of the Creation God Cult were exposed, and then the Divine Kingdom suddenly said that the Creation God Cult was illegitimate and would deal with them, then they would be finished. So Lu Lingguang decided to proceed in secret.

The Li family head understood Lu Linguang's meaning. He nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. However, our family has already been exposed. I also want to see if Elder Wan will really send people to us, and whether anyone will actually come to believe in the Creation God Sect. If someone really comes, then everything Elder Wan said might be true. After all, the people he sends can only be from the Wan family. He shouldn't use the lives of the Wan family to test us."

Lu Lingguang nodded, then thought for a moment before saying, "We're going to prepare two groups, one open and one covert. You'll be the ones in the open, and you can also preach, but you should minimize contact with us and keep them in the dark. We'll be the ones preaching in the shadows. That way, even if they really want to deal with us in the future, they'll deal with you, the ones who have already been exposed, the ones hiding in the shadows, first. They might not know about us and won't come after us. This way, we can preserve some of our power."

The Li family head did not object. They had indeed been exposed, so Lu Lingguang was not to blame. Therefore, he could understand Lu Lingguang's decision.

The two discussed the details again, and then the Li family head left. From today onwards, they would reduce their contact to avoid being discovered. In fact, Blood Kill already knew about their relationship, so what they were doing might fool some people in the Divine Kingdom, but it wouldn't fool the Blood Kill Sect.

Five days later, the people selected by the Wan family arrived at the Wuwei City base. Wan Ling met with them once, and as soon as he saw them, he immediately understood what Wan Hai was planning. Seeing that they were all people without potential, he was relieved. These people really did not have much potential, and it was only right that they could make a final contribution to the family.

This time, the Wan family didn't select many people, only about a hundred. Wan Ling understood Wan Hai's meaning; he simply wanted to test whether this method was feasible. If it was feasible, they would send more people. If it wasn't, the loss of a hundred people was something the Wan family could easily afford.

After settling the Wan family members in, Wan Ling immediately sent someone to invite the Li family head over. Once the Li family head arrived, Wan Ling said directly to him, "Li family head, the reason I invited you here is about what I told you a few days ago. Now that the person has arrived, what do you think we should do?"

The head of the Li family immediately understood what Wan Ling was talking about. He said, "It's very simple. Just have them come to me tomorrow, and I'll arrange for them to join the sect."

Wan Ling nodded, then looked at the Li family head and said, "Li family head, please keep this a secret. I don't want anyone else to know about it. Is that alright?"

Patriarch Li was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Alright, please rest assured, Elder Wan."

Wan Ling nodded, then said, "The reason I don't want others to know about this is not because the higher-ups are going to deal with the Creation God Sect, but simply because I don't want people to know that someone in our family is doing this. Please don't misunderstand."

Patriarch Li smiled and said, "I understand, I have no misunderstanding, Elder Wan, please rest assured."

Wan Ling nodded, then said, "Those who are joining the Creation God Cult this time are all disciples of our family. The reason we let them join is because they have exhausted their potential. We hope that by joining the cult, their strength can be improved. Moreover, the Divine Kingdom has already mentioned the rewards to you. If they attack the Blood Slaughter Sect, they can save their merits, which may be exchanged for some good things in the future." As Wan Ling spoke, he glanced at the Li family head, confident that he understood his meaning. Wan Ling was very clear that the Li family head must have escaped from the Blood Slaughter Sect. Their family's territory had been lost; otherwise, the Li family head wouldn't be here. In fact, if the family were in the rear, the family head wouldn't be here personally. The fact that the Li family head was here meant that their family's territory had been lost, and they were being used as cannon fodder. This was why the Li family suddenly embraced the Creation God Cult—because they didn't want to be wiped out, their only option was to increase their strength, and embracing the Creation God Cult was definitely the fastest way to do so.

When Wan Ling mentioned the rewards from the Divine Kingdom, he was telling Patriarch Li that if he wanted to secure a piece of land or some benefit for his family after this incident, then attacking the Blood Slaughter Sect would be an opportunity—an opportunity to help his family accumulate military merits. Once he had enough military merits, he could then claim a piece of land of his own and rebuild his family.

The Li family head did indeed understand Wan Ling's words. He quickly stood up, bowed to Wan Ling, and said, "Yes, thank you, Elder Wan. I understand. Please send someone to find me tomorrow. I will wait for them at my home. Don't worry, Elder Wan, I will keep this matter absolutely confidential. If Elder Wan really doesn't want anyone to know, you can have them come to me tonight."

Wan Ling smiled and said, "Alright, then let them come to you tonight. You should also go back and prepare. By the way, do you have a space that can hold a hundred people? If not, I can arrange one for you. What do you think?"

The Li family head shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. The Li family has quite a few disciples here, and each of them can preach. Just have someone come to me, and I'll make the arrangements."

Wan Ling nodded and said, "Alright, I'll have them come to you tonight." The Li family head responded, then bowed to Wan Ling before turning and leaving.

Looking at the Li family head's retreating figure, Wan Ling couldn't help but let out a long sigh, then said, "I hope he's a smart man." Much of what Wan Ling said today was actually a reminder to the Li family head to be careful, as the Divine Kingdom might purge them in the future.

Wan Ling said that this matter should be kept secret, which means that it cannot be brought to the forefront yet. Although he made up an excuse, he believed that the Li family head would understand his meaning. If the Li family head was a smart man, he would make two preparations. One was to have his family members improve their strength as soon as possible, and then go to the Blood Slaughter Sect to kill and kidnap people, and make more military merits. In this way, they could change their own territory in the future. Of course, this is what they can do openly.

If the Li family were truly intelligent, they would do things that couldn't be made public. For example, they could have some of their members live in hiding, avoiding any contact with the Li family, and moving to other places. This way, even if the Li family were to be wiped out, at least some of their bloodline would remain. Of course, Wan Ling didn't tell the Li family head these things. To be honest, their relationship wasn't that close. If the Li family head didn't understand his meaning, then the Li family deserved to be destroyed.

The Li family is just a small clan. The royal family would have no qualms about eliminating them if they wanted to. Unlike the Wan family, which is a large clan and the leader of the aristocratic alliance, even if the royal family knew that some members of the Wan family believed in the Creation God Cult, all the Wan family had to do was bring out those believers. Even if the royal family wanted to eliminate them, they would only have to kill those Wan family disciples. The royal family would probably not touch the rest of the Wan family.

This is the difference between a small family and a large family. The royal family can deal with the Li family, but not the Wan family. So if the head of the Li family is really smart, he will arrange some backup plans to preserve the family bloodline.

In fact, all the great families have such methods. One branch of the Wan family has long since hidden themselves away, living the same life as ordinary people. This way, even if the Wan family really encounters any difficulties in the future, or is really wiped out, at least some of the Wan family's bloodline can be guaranteed to survive.

Furthermore, the Wan family will leave some of their cultivation techniques and family resources with those people. This way, even if something really happens to the Wan family, those people can rely on what the Wan family left behind to get back on their feet and become a great family again. This is the method of a great family. Most great families have such methods. This is their last trump card.

Smaller families like the Li family might not have realized this yet, and they might not be prepared. Wan Ling had already reminded him this time, although he did so in a very tactful way. He genuinely hoped that the Li family head would understand, since the Li family was also a member of the aristocratic family alliance, and he didn't want anything to happen to the Li family.

Seeing that the Li family head had returned, Wan Ling only hoped that he understood. He then directly instructed those selected by the Wan family to go to the Li family tonight to meet with the Li family head, who would then arrange for them to join the Creation God Sect. As for how much their strength would improve after joining the Creation God Sect, it was really hard to say, but they would find out later.
