Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16461 Discovery
"Hahaha, Lao Ding, if others heard you say that, they might think you're just talking nonsense, because in many people's eyes, power is the best catalyst for cultivators."

Zhao Hai laughed and turned to look at Ding Chunming. He was right. Many cultivators thought the same way. In their view, having power meant they could command people and collect more cultivation resources. With cultivation resources, they could continue to cultivate and become stronger. So, for cultivators, power was definitely a good thing, not a burden as Ding Chunming said.

Ding Chunming shook his head and said, "That's because they haven't figured out what they really need."

Zhao Hai laughed heartily, then glanced at everyone before finally fixing his gaze on Gongliang Juewen. He smiled slightly and said, "Gongliang, you did a great job this time. From beginning to end, you didn't arouse any suspicion from those people. That's excellent. You've made a great contribution."

Gongliang Juewen immediately bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Thank you for your praise, young master. It's not that I performed particularly well, but rather that the sect gave me confidence. If Elder Chang hadn't told me that I should consider myself the king of the Divine Kingdom, not a member of the Blood Slaughter Sect, I wouldn't have been able to do this."

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "No matter what, you will be credited this time. This Wukong City is not bad; it can be used as a mobile base."

Chang Jun smiled and said, "Young Master, we're planning to renovate this Wukong City and use it as your temporary palace. What do you think?"

Zhao Hai was taken aback when he heard him say that. He glanced at Wu Kong City and then smiled and said, "It is good, but it would be a waste to use it only as my temporary palace. Let's use it as a mobile base. By the way, please leave me a courtyard here, a big one."

Chang Jun smiled and said, "Alright, young master, is there anything else you require? How would you like the decoration?"

Zhao Hai laughed and said, "I won't worry about that. Let Laura and the others take care of it."

Chang Jun and the others smiled and responded without saying anything more. They were well aware of Laura and the others' importance in Zhao Hai's heart.

Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled slightly, then said, "Alright, things have come to this point, and the matter here in the Divine Kingdom should be about over. Even if the people from the various sects of the Divine Kingdom do not surrender and insist on fighting us to the end, they can't cause any trouble. Their elites have all surrendered to us, so what chance do they have? You can deal with the rest slowly, but there's no need to rush. Let's digest this situation first."

Chang Jun and the others responded, and Zhao Hai nodded to them before disappearing.

After they disappeared, Chang Jun glanced at the main hall and said, "Have someone set up a magic array here. I think the people of the Divine Kingdom will soon know what happened here."

Ding Chunming said, "Don't forget to leave Zhao Hai a courtyard, a big one." Chang Jun rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget."

Chang Jun then wrote directly to the people of Shenji Hall, asking them to come to Wukong City immediately to rebuild the magic array and renovate the city.

Of course, they would also send people to take over those large magical artifacts of the Divine Kingdom. Although those large magical artifacts were of little use to the Blood Slaughter Sect, they were still very useful in the Divine Kingdom for dealing with those sects and aristocratic families.

Meanwhile, Qingxuan stood in his study with a livid face. Several people stood in front of him, each holding a communication array. Their faces were covered in cold sweat. Qingxuan's eyes were like knives, slicing over them. He looked at them and said in a deep voice, "Still no news?"

The group exchanged glances and shook their heads. The communication array was in their hands; they could easily tell if there was any news. Yet Qingxuan was still asking, showing just how agitated he was. Suddenly, one of the communication arrays lit up, and a jade slip appeared on it. The man's eyes lit up, and so did everyone else's. They all stared at the jade slip. Qingxuan flicked his wrist, and the jade slip flew directly into his hand. He scanned it with his spiritual power, and after reading its contents, his face turned deathly pale. He immediately turned and said, "Send letters to the other sects, telling them everyone to go to the Old Royal City. I'm having a meeting there."

The group all responded and immediately headed outside. Qingxuan's voice came again: "Remember, send a letter to Wan Hai as well, telling them we're going to the old royal city for a meeting."

The so-called old royal city is actually the former royal city. Later, because of the existence of Wukong City, it was no longer the royal city. However, people still habitually call it the old royal city. As for its original name, Shuangqing City, it has long been forgotten.

The disciples all responded and then turned and left, while Qingxuan walked straight out. Immediately, a group of people came over and followed behind him. This group had not made any moves, but their strength had all reached the Kingdom level.

These people were guards assigned to Qingxuan by the Tianxuan Sect. Although Qingxuan's strength was such that he didn't need guards at all, the Tianxuan Sect still decided to assign him guards. The situation in the Divine Kingdom was changing rapidly, and someone like Qingxuan naturally needed guards even more.

Qingxuan and his group quickly arrived at the teleportation array. They took the array and arrived directly at the Old Royal City. The Old Royal City had a royal palace. In the past, no one dared to come to the old royal palace because, regardless of whether it had been abandoned by the royal family, it was still a royal palace. No one dared to enter the palace, otherwise it would be a challenge to the imperial authority, and the Gongliang family would not let them off the hook.

However, when Gongliang Juewen pushed Wukong City towards the front line, he directly ordered that the palace would be used by Qingxuan and the others from now on. So Qingxuan and the others came directly to the old royal city. They could hold meetings here, and since this place did not belong to any sect or aristocratic family, both sides felt at ease holding meetings here.

Don't assume that just because the Divine Kingdom is in danger, sects and aristocratic families will completely trust each other. They are always wary of each other, and no matter which side's territory they hold a meeting in, the other side will not feel at ease. Therefore, the old royal city has become the best place for them to hold meetings.

Not long after Qingxuan arrived at the old royal city, Wan Hai and the others also arrived one after another. However, when they arrived at the palace, Qingxuan was already waiting for them. Qingxuan stood in the main hall of the palace, looking at the throne on the throne, with an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

When Wan Hai and the others arrived at the main hall, Qing Xuan turned to look at them. Wan Hai and the others all nodded at Qing Xuan, their expressions quite unpleasant.

Looking at their expressions, Qingxuan continued, "You all know now, right? The fourth line of defense has been lost. The Blood Slaughter Sect's army has already occupied several cities along the fourth line of defense, and they're even using our large-scale magical artifacts. What does this mean? It means that His Majesty and his forces have failed. Otherwise, they wouldn't have lost even their large-scale magical artifacts."

Everyone nodded, but then Wen Jing said with a livid face, "That's almost impossible. The Myriad Swords Illusionary Immortal Formation is absolutely fine. I tested it myself. They shouldn't have been able to break through it so quickly. That's almost impossible." Wen Jing practically roared as he said this.

Qingxuan and the others could understand Wenjing's thoughts. Wenjing was very confident in his array formation technique. Although the Blood Slaughter Sect had broken through their array formations several times before, they hadn't used normal methods; they had used insects to destroy the arrays. Therefore, Wenjing didn't think there was anything wrong with his array formation. He always believed that his array formation was flawless, so he was very confident in the Myriad Swords Illusionary Immortal Array he had set up this time. However, he didn't expect that the Myriad Swords Illusionary Immortal Array would be destroyed so quickly, and that Gongliang Juewen and his group would be defeated so quickly. Just yesterday, they were still talking to Gongliang Juewen, and today Gongliang Juewen and his group had been wiped out. This was something Wenjing couldn't accept.

Qingxuan and the others exchanged glances, none of them saying anything. After Wenjing finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, then turned to look at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Something's not right, very wrong. The Blood Slaughter Sect's attack is going too smoothly, especially at the fourth line of defense. Even if they can break through my Myriad Swords Illusionary Immortal Formation, we still have so many people. Where are those people? Even if they just stood there motionless and let the Blood Slaughter Sect kill them, the Blood Slaughter Sect wouldn't have wiped them all out so quickly. So something's not right, very wrong."

Upon hearing Wen Jing's words, Qingxuan and Wan Hai were both taken aback. Then, thoughtful expressions appeared on their faces. They felt that Wen Jing's words made some sense. They were very clear about the arrangements made on the fourth line of defense. The fourth line of defense concentrated most of the elite forces from various sects and families, and included countless kingdom-level experts. How could they have been defeated so quickly? Did they not even put up a fight? This was abnormal, extremely abnormal.

Qingxuan said in a deep voice, "I sent people there to check before. The Blood Slaughter Sect has indeed begun to occupy the fourth line of defense. There was no trace of large-scale fighting at the place where we built the formation. It was completely peaceful there. Do you know what the most important thing is? The most important thing is that the people I sent there did not see Wukong City. It was as if Wukong City had disappeared into thin air."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I know that the magic array you set up before, Sect Master Wen, contained an illusion array, but shouldn't that array have been broken by now? The large magic artifacts were all used by the Blood Slaughter Sect to attack our city, so the magic array should have been destroyed, and the illusion array at Wukong City should also be gone. Why haven't we seen Wukong City yet?"
