Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15781

Chapter 15779 Assassination

Shen Weifeng walked quietly forward. They were on a small path. Furthermore, it was already night, and most of the sect’s disciples had already gone to bed. Many people may have a misunderstanding about cultivators, believing they don’t need rest or sleep. In reality, this isn’t the case. Cultivators also need rest and sleep, but their bodies are strong, so they may only need a short rest to recover. The same goes for sleep; a short sleep is enough to restore their bodies.

So why don’t they come out at night? The reason is quite simple: nighttime is quieter, making it the ideal time for them to cultivate. Therefore, they usually practice at night. When

Shen Weifeng was out at this time, few people would see him. He had previously used the Shen family’s earth escape technique to escape, reaching a small path outside. He then emerged from underground, accompanied by Master Lin and members of the Shen family’s Yong team. The Shen family’s Yong team consisted of only twenty people, not many in number. They now spread out around the area, protecting Shen Weifeng.

Master Lin led Shen Weifeng forward. They hadn’t taken the main road, wandering around for a while before finally arriving behind a restaurant. This restaurant wasn’t far from where a disciple of the Nine Suns Immortal Palace lived. It was there to serve as a business for those disciples.

Humans are social animals. Even masters at the Kingdom level would occasionally interact with each other; it’s impossible for them to cultivate alone. The same was true for the disciples of the Nine Suns Immortal Palace. They didn’t each live in their own courtyard, separated by a long distance. Instead, they lived together, not too far away, making it easier for them to communicate. There were many such settlements in the Nine Suns Immortal Palace, and outside of these settlements, businesses were common. Places like restaurants were especially common.

Zuiyuelou was a restaurant quite far from the Shen family’s residence. The Shen family members usually didn’t come here, so Master Lin had specially arranged this place for them. They quickly entered through the back door of the restaurant. It only had three floors, but behind it was a small restaurant with direct access to the upper floors. Shen Weifeng and his companions quickly reached the third floor.

The third floor was deserted; today, the place had been reserved by the Lu family, not Master Lin or Shen Weifeng. This way, even if someone investigated, it would only be traced back to the Lu family, not Shen Weifeng, and no one would know he had been at Zuiyuelou.

Master Lin led Shen Weifeng to a private room on the third floor. He gently knocked on the door, and it opened. Two people were waiting inside. One of them looked to be in his sixties, dressed in the standard uniform of the Nine Suns Palace. He had a dignified appearance, with three strands of beard flowing down his chest, giving him an air of extraordinary dignity.

The other one was a young man in his twenties. He was also wearing the standard uniform of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, but his expression was a little nervous. When the two saw Shen Weifeng, the old man’s eyes lit up, and he immediately clasped his fists towards Shen Weifeng and said, “Hello, Junior-Martial Nephew Shen. I’m Lu Fang and I’m honored to meet you.”

Shen Weifeng immediately returned the greeting, and then said with a smile, “Uncle-Martial Lu, you’re too polite. It’s my honor to be able to meet with you here today.”

Lu Fang hurriedly said, “Junior-Martial Nephew Shen is so polite. Please come in. This is not a place to talk outside.”

Shen Weifeng also responded, and then went into the room. When they were in the room, Lu Fang asked Shen Weifeng and Master Lin to sit down, and then he and the young man sat down.

After the four of them were seated, Lu Fang addressed Shen Weifeng, “Nephew Shen, it’s a bit presumptuous of me to ask you out today, but please forgive me. After all, this matter is of great importance, and we have to be careful.”

Shen Weifeng smiled and said, “I understand, I understand. This is how it should be…” Before he could even begin to speak, he felt his hair stand on end, as if danger were approaching. Before he could react, a sword, gleaming with golden light, pierced through the window and pierced his neck. It then passed through his neck, passed through the wall, and disappeared. Shen Weifeng’s neck was completely broken, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Shen Weifeng’s cervical vertebrae seemed to have been shattered. His head slumped to his chest, a look of disbelief in his eyes. His lips trembled twice, and then he was still. The divine light in his eyes completely vanished, and his body collapsed directly onto the table.

No one else in the room had anticipated this sudden change. It wasn’t until Shen Weifeng’s body collapsed that Master Lin finally reacted. He leaped to his feet, shouting, “Senior Brother Shen!” His expression changed drastically as he soared into the air. Then he shouted, “Team Shen Jiayong, Senior Brother Shen has been assassinated. Split half of your team and chase the killer in that direction.” He pointed.

The members of Team Shen Jiayong seemed to react as well. Half of them immediately rushed in the direction Master Lin pointed, while the remaining half took flight and rushed into the room. Only Lu Fang and the young man stood there, bloodied and grim-faced.

Upon entering the room, the members of Team Shen Jiayong saw Shen Weifeng’s body, and their expressions instantly turned grim.

Shen Weifeng’s status in the Shen family is very high. It can be said that he is the prince of the Shen family, and they are the ones who protected the prince on his travel today. Now the prince is dead, and those who protected the prince on his travel are all fine. Then they will definitely be punished. If one of them is not careful, he will lose his life.

At this time, Master Lin returned to the room with a grim expression. He said to the people from the Shen family, “Just now, an arrow was shot in from outside and killed Senior Brother Shen. The arrow was shot out from this direction. Please find the arrow. Maybe there will be clues. At the same time, seal off the scene and don’t let anyone else enter at will

. At the same time, report this matter to the Shen family immediately. We will stay here and accept the investigation of the Shen family.” The people from the Yong team were really at a loss now. After listening to Master Lin’s words, they came to their senses. They immediately did as Master Lin said. The team was divided into three groups. Two people flew directly towards the Shen family, and two people chased in the direction where the arrow was shot. The rest of the people stayed in this room to protect the scene.

Soon a large number of Shen family members appeared here and surrounded the restaurant directly. Everyone in the restaurant was detained, and the head of the Shen family also came to the restaurant at this time. When he saw Shen Weifeng who had been dead for a long time, his face was gloomy as if water was about to drip. He then said, “What’s going on?”

Master Lin immediately stepped forward and answered, “In response to Elder Shen, today is the day when Senior Brother Shen secretly made an appointment with Senior Brother Shen. We just entered the room and hadn’t said a word when an arrow suddenly shot in from outside and killed Senior Brother Shen.”

The head of the Shen family didn’t say anything. At this time, the two Shen family warriors came up and said, “What happened?” The men in the team trembled as they approached Patriarch Shen and knelt with a thud. One of them raised his hands and lifted a bronze crossbow arrow. He said in a trembling voice, “Patriarch, this is the arrow that killed the young master. We failed to protect him. Please punish us, Patriarch.”

Patriarch Shen seemed not to hear them. Instead, he waved his hand, and the arrow appeared in his hand. He examined it carefully. It was a bronze arrow, not very long, only about a foot long. It was made entirely of bronze, even the feathers were bronze, and the entire arrow was a single piece.

Most importantly, the arrow was covered with countless runes, all engraved in relief, giving the entire arrow a very ancient feel.

At this moment, two more members of the “Yong” team flew in from the window and knelt before Patriarch Shen. One of them said, “Patriarch, we’ve found the assassin.”

Patriarch Shen felt that the arrow looked familiar, and upon hearing the “Yong” team’s words, his expression changed. He immediately said, “Lead the way.” The two members of the “Yong” team immediately stood up, responded, and flew out of the cloud. Patriarch Shen followed them out of the cloud. Several elders of the Shen family followed behind Patriarch Shen, their faces extremely grim, and their eyes filled with murderous intent.

They flew forward for about five miles before stopping in front of a large tree. In front of the tree stood several members of the Shen family’s “Yong” team. Upon seeing Patriarch Shen, they all knelt and saluted.

The Shen family head’s attention wasn’t focused on them at all. Instead, he focused on a figure in the tree. It was a figure wearing the uniform of the Nine Suns Immortal Palace. They were already dead, their face blackened, clearly poisoned. In their hands, they held a bronze crossbow. They were thin, their eyes wide open in death, their expression contorted; it was unclear whether they were laughing or crying.

The Shen family head said grimly, “Determine his identity.”

Someone immediately responded, then stepped forward and carefully moved the figure under the tree. The Shen family head’s gaze fell on the crossbow, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes. With a flick of his hand, the crossbow flew directly in front of him. He examined it carefully, then exclaimed, “Impossible! Is this the Shocking God Crossbow?”

The others’ faces changed at the mention of the “Shocking God Crossbow.” They knew all too well what it signified. They had never expected to see something as legendary as the Shocking God Crossbow here. It was truly astonishing.

At this time, someone came to the side of the head of the Shen family and said to him, “Head, we have found out that this person is from a branch of the Mu family. His name is Mu Yang. When he was young, something went wrong in his cultivation and his health has been poor. He works as a manager in the Mu family’s miscellaneous library. However, his son has good talent, but he has never received key training.” After that, the man handed a piece of information to the head of the Shen family.
