Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16436 Discovery
Just as they were flying forward, the seemingly ordinary forest in front of them suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, Dongtian City appeared in front of them. Above Dongtian City, there were also a hundred Creation Golden Wheels and countless spherical magic artifacts. Most importantly, countless cultivators were flying out from underground in Dongtian City. All of them were wearing the same red clothes, as red as blood.

Without the elder needing to speak, everyone stopped. At this moment, the cultivators in red robes all turned to look at them, their faces beaming with smiles. But those smiles, when they fell into the eyes of these people, filled them with utter dread.

At this moment, a cultivator dressed in black flew out. He looked at the cultivators from the Divine Kingdom and then smiled slightly, saying, "Go back and tell your people that we have taken over this Cave Heaven City. By the way, here's a piece of advice: you'd better leave the first line of defense, because it will soon be ours."

Upon hearing his words, the cultivators from the divine kingdoms' expressions changed. They exchanged glances, and then the leading elder waved his hand and shouted, "Withdraw!"

No one spoke, but everyone retreated. They knew perfectly well that it was pointless to attack now. It seemed that the Blood Slaughter Sect had already occupied Dongtian City, and they still had so many Creation Golden Wheels and those large magic artifacts. It was too late for them to attack now.

They quickly returned to the teleportation array. However, when the elder looked at the teleportation array, a look of realization suddenly flashed in his eyes. He immediately said, "Oh no, we've been tricked. They didn't know where our teleportation array was before, but they do now. Quick, let's go, split up!"

His words startled everyone, and then their expressions changed. They exchanged glances, and then scattered in all directions, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Just then, they heard a voice say, "You guys are smart, you escaped really fast." Upon hearing this voice, they all sped up and looked behind them. They saw that all the spherical arrays of the Blood Slaughter Sect had appeared at the teleportation array. Then, a tentacle extended from one of the spherical arrays, and a beam of energy struck the teleportation array, destroying it instantly.

Upon seeing this, those people ran even faster, but fortunately, the Blood Slaughter Sect members did not chase after them and all retreated back to Dongtian City.

Soon those people returned to their bases and reported the matter directly. Everyone at each base knew what had happened and reported it as well. Gongliang Juewen once again summoned everyone from each sect to the main hall of Wukong City.

Once everyone had arrived, Gongliang Juewen looked at them with a grim expression and said, "You've all heard about what happened in Dongtian City, haven't you? What are your thoughts on this matter?"

The group exchanged glances, remaining silent for a while before one of the sect leaders finally spoke up: "We were planning an attack on Thousand Lotus Mountain, but they turned the tables and attacked us first, even warning us to retreat from the first line of defense. Aren't they taking themselves too seriously?"

Upon hearing what the sect leader said, everyone else nodded in agreement. However, one person kept frowning, as if deep in thought. Gongliang Juewen noticed this person and immediately asked, "Wenjing, what do you want to say?" His words drew everyone's attention to Wenjing.

Wen Jing glanced at Gongliang Juewen and the others, then said, "Your Majesty, I'm wondering what the Blood Slaughter Sect really meant by this warning?"

Everyone was taken aback, then looked at Wen Jing with some confusion. Gongliang Juewen spoke up, "Do you think their warning has another meaning?"

Wen Jing said, "We have already experienced the Blood Slaughter Sect's array techniques, and they are indeed very powerful. Moreover, they also have the Creation Golden Wheel and that spherical magic weapon. We know that the spherical magic weapon can release spells and can also be used for close combat. The Creation God Sect has been using the Creation Golden Wheel incorrectly. This kind of magic weapon can only unleash its greatest power in the hands of someone who truly understands arrays. It can be said that their combat power is already very strong. However, at the first line of defense, we have more than a hundred bases, not to mention that we have also built a second line of defense. Even if they really want to take down all the bases at the first line of defense, it will take a long time. Even if they take them down one by one, it will probably take them several years to take down the first line of defense. But now they say that the first line of defense will soon be theirs. A little over a year is not very fast. When they say it will be fast, could it mean that they have a special way to speed up the attack on the first line of defense? And could this method of attack be related to arrays?" Upon hearing his words, everyone's expression changed, and they all looked at him. Gongliang Juewen even asked, "Is there any magic formation that can take down the first line of defense the fastest?"

Wen Jing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I cannot think of any way to quickly take down the first line of defense. Perhaps it is because none of the formations I know can compare to the formations of the Blood Slaughter Sect."

Gongliang Juewen's face grew even uglier. He said in a deep voice, "Fine, if we can't figure it out, we can't figure it out. Let's think about how to deal with the Blood Slaughter Sect. How exactly did the Blood Slaughter Sect manage to take over a base in such a short time? As far as I know, the defenses of the underground base in Dongtian City are probably the best among all the bases, right?"

Everyone nodded, and Qingxuan said, "That's right, the defenses of the underground base in Dongtian City are indeed the best. Not only is there an Illusion Stone Array there, but because of the Earth Fire Vein there, Qingyou also built a Fire Dragon Array there for defense. However, the people from the teleportation array outside the base discovered that something was wrong with the base. From the arrival of reinforcements from various sects to the retreat of all the reinforcements, it only took one or two hours. In such a short time, the Dongtian City base was taken down. It's clear that their attack was very fast. I've been wondering how they did it. With so many people and two magic arrays in one base, they were able to take it down in such a short time. It's terrifying."

Everyone frowned. Just then, a cultivator suddenly spoke up: "This is indeed very strange. Could it be related to the magic array they are using?"

When the magic array was mentioned, everyone turned to look at Wen Jing, only to find him sitting there with a frown on his face, his eyes unfocused, as if he were thinking about something. Seeing his expression, no one asked him any further questions.

Just as everyone was about to say something, Wen Jing suddenly spoke up: "I remember now, but that's impossible." His voice was loud, startling everyone.

Everyone was stunned upon hearing his words. Then, they all looked at Wen Jing with some confusion. Wen Jing stood up with a look of surprise and bowed to Gongliang Juewen, saying, "Your Majesty, I remember now. I recall an ancient book from our Zhenyu Sect mentioning a method that, when used to its highest level, can use mountains and rivers as array symbols to create an awe-inspiring array. This array would be enormous and its power unparalleled. No one could break such an array. In fact, the Blood Slaughter Sect has already demonstrated this array to us before, at Thousand Lotus Mountain. Thousand Lotus Mountain is so large, yet they used an array to cover the entire mountain. This is not something a simple mountain-protecting array could do. At the time, I didn't think too deeply about it, but now that I think about it, they might have used this legendary array-setting method. Could they also want to use this method at the first line of defense?"

Upon thinking of this, Wen Jing immediately said, "Your Majesty, I request that you bring up the map of the first line of defense, as well as the maps of Wuwei City, Dongtian City, and Jushi City."

Gongliang Juewen said, "Granted." Immediately, a eunuch went to fetch the maps, and soon four huge maps were carried to the main hall. These four maps were placed on four shelves that could fully open the maps, so that everyone could see them clearly.

Wen Jing walked to the first line of defense. He first located the three cities of Wuwei City, Jushi City, and Dongtian City, and marked their locations. After marking the locations of these three cities, his face immediately turned very ugly.

He then walked to the map of the three cities and carefully examined the terrain around them. With each city he examined, his expression grew increasingly grim. By the time he finished looking at the map, his expression had completely changed. He immediately bowed to Gongliang Juewen and said, "Your Majesty, I understand. The Blood Slaughter Sect intends to use these three cities to set up a legendary array at the first line of defense."

At this point, he pointed to the overall map of the first defensive line and then said, "Your Majesty, please look here. The locations of these three cities are precisely at three important nodes of the defensive line, almost dividing it equally. Looking at the maps of these three cities, Wuwei City has an important iron mine and possesses a gold vein; Jushi City is famous for its stone production and possesses an earth vein; and Dongtian City has a fire vein. Fire generates earth, and earth generates metal. The attributes of these three cities are also mutually reinforcing. If three magic arrays of the same attribute are established in these three cities, and these three magic arrays originate from the same source, and then some energy magic arrays are set up in some places along the first defensive line, then they may be able to build an enormous Three Talents Array along the first defensive line. If they really build this magic array, then all the underground bases along the first defensive line will be under the cover of this magic array, and then we people along the first defensive line will probably all be doomed."
