Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15783
Chapter 15781 Soul Search
The Shocking God Crossbow—a weapon capable of threatening even kingdom-level masters, and the very cause of the Tang Tower’s destruction—had now appeared within the Nine Suns Celestial Palace. What did this signify? It meant that with the Shocking God Crossbow, the Nine Suns Celestial Palace could threaten even kingdom-level masters. If outsiders believed the Nine Suns Celestial Palace possessed the ability to manufacture it, then they were doomed, facing an attack from every kingdom-level master.
It was precisely because of this realization that Li Ruobing immediately ordered the news to be suppressed. Simultaneously, Shen Yu and Mu Cheng also reacted, their faces grim. They had only just realized that the Shocking God Crossbow was a threat to the entire sect, not just their two families. They hadn’t considered this before, and this was their biggest mistake.
Li Ruobing looked at the two of them, his eyes as cold as ice. He said in a cold voice, “Can anyone of you tell me what is going on? Where did this Soul-Shocking Crossbow come from?”
Shen Yu shook his head and said, “We don’t know. Today is the day when Shen Weifeng, a core disciple of our family, meets the head of the Lu family. But just when the two of them said a word, Shen Weifeng was killed by the Soul-Shocking Crossbow. The one who used the Soul-Shocking Crossbow was none other than Mu Yang, a disciple of the Mu family.”
When Li Ruobing heard what Shen Yu said, his face changed involuntarily, and he immediately said, “Is Weifeng really dead?” Shen Weifeng is from the Shen family and a core disciple. He has good talent and strength. He didn’t expect that Shen Weifeng would actually die.
Shen Yu nodded, his face full of sadness. Shen Weifeng was the best master of the current generation of the Shen family, a man who could resist the tripod. It could even be said that he was being trained as the next generation of the family. But now he is dead, which is tantamount to ruining the future of his Shen family. Although their Shen family can train another young master, it is one step slower than other families. If one step slower is slower, all steps will be slower. If the Shen family really faces a situation of lack of successors in the future, it will be too dangerous. Just look at the Kong family.
Li Ruobing immediately turned around and looked at Mu Cheng. Mu Cheng shook his head and said, “Master, this matter really has nothing to do with us. We don’t have the Jingshen Crossbow in our family, and I don’t know where Mu Yang got the Jingshen Crossbow. But I think someone must be framing us. Now not only Mu Yang is dead, but Mu Yang’s family is also dead. This is obviously a murder to silence us. They don’t want us to know where their Jingshen Crossbow came from.” Li
Ruobing said in a deep voice, “Where are their bodies?”
Mu Cheng immediately waved his hand, and someone directly moved out the bodies of Ling’er and Mu Zhong, and Shen Yu also moved out Mu Yang’s body.
Li Ruobing looked at Mu Yang’s body, then he said in
a deep voice: “Autopsy, soul search.” Feng Xidao responded, then he immediately took action himself. He carefully examined the bodies of Mu Yang’s family, then he tried to search their souls, but failed. He stood up with a somewhat ugly face, and said to Li Ruobing: “Sect Master, they were poisoned to death, and this poison is a latent poison. Judging from their current situation, they should have been poisoned for a few days. The other party may have waited until he completed the task, and then directly triggered the poison in his body, and his family all died. Moreover, this poison is very overbearing and can directly eliminate a person’s soul, so there is no way to search the soul.”
Li Ruobing’s face changed when he heard what Feng Xidao said, then he said: “In other words, now we have no clues except this poison and this God-Shocking Crossbow?”
Feng Xidao responded: “Indeed.”
Li Ruobing said: “No clues, that is the biggest clue “Suo, do you think there are many people in this world who can create this kind of poison? And this Shocking God Crossbow is also the biggest clue. Starting with these two clues, I must find out who did this.”
Feng Xidao replied, and Li Ruobing immediately turned to Mu Cheng and said, “Mu Cheng, immediately begin investigating your Mu family. Find out who has had contact with Mu Yang these days. Summon everyone who has had contact with them. Also, investigate what Mu Yang has said to others and any unusual behavior in their family. Go
quickly.” Mu Cheng replied and immediately ordered his men to do so. Li Ruobing immediately turned to Shen Yu and said, “You also investigate what Wei Feng has been doing these days, why he wanted to see Patriarch Lu, and how this happened. Quickly.”
Shen Yu replied, and was about to give his orders when one of the people following him suddenly broke into a strange smile. Then his face slowly darkened, and he collapsed.
Upon seeing the change in that person, Shen Yu’s expression changed, and he immediately said, “Quick, search his soul.”
The Shen family members were all stunned. They followed Shen Weifeng’s gaze and found that Master Lin was already dead. The people standing next to Master Lin were stunned at first, and then immediately searched Master Lin’s soul. However, Master Lin was already dead, and his soul had disappeared. His death was exactly the same as that of the Mu Yang family.
Upon seeing this situation, the Shen family members’ expressions changed. They immediately understood that Master Lin was the traitor. He deliberately led Shen Weifeng to meet the Lu family, and all of this was planned.
At this time, the face of Lu Fang, the head of the Lu family, changed completely. He immediately led the Lu family disciple and knelt down in front of Li Ruobing. He said, “Sect Master, our Lu family is innocent. It was Master Lin who found our disciples and said that Shen Weifeng wanted to see us. We didn’t dare not to see him, so we came to see him. However, before we could say a few words to him, Shen Weifeng was killed. This matter really has nothing to do with our Lu family. Sect Master, I am willing to cooperate with the sect’s investigation. Even if they have to search our souls, we are willing to do so. I only ask that you can let our Lu family go.”
Lu Fang knew very well that with their current situation, there was almost no possibility of survival. In this case, he could only sacrifice himself to save the entire Lu family, otherwise, the Lu family would really be finished.
Li Ruobing couldn’t help but believe him a bit, but he still said cruelly, “Okay, don’t worry. As long as this matter has nothing to do with you, I’ll protect the Lu family.”
Lu Fang’s expression relaxed, and he kowtowed to Li Ruobing again, saying solemnly, “Thank you, Sect Master.” He knelt there motionless.
Li Ruobing turned to look at Feng Xidao, who immediately understood what Li Ruobing meant. He walked over, reached out, and placed his hand on the top of Lu Fang’s head. The next moment, veins popped on Lu Fang’s face, and he began to tremble. His eyes rolled back, and blood began to flow from all seven orifices.
This was exactly what happens when someone’s soul is searched. Soul search extracts a person’s soul and directly examines their memories. However, it’s impossible to see all memories, only the ones you need. The person whose soul is searched is subjected to the world’s most severe punishment, suffering unbearable pain and ultimately death. No one who has had their soul searched survives.
After a while, Feng Xidao finally let go of his hand, and Lu Fang fell directly to the ground. His body twitched a few times and he died immediately. Feng Xidao was still worried, so he searched the soul of the Lu family disciple again. When he let go, the Lu family disciple was also dead.
Then he turned to Li Ruobing and said, “Master, what they said is true. This matter has nothing to do with the Lu family. The Lu family did receive a letter from Master Lin, so they came to see Shen Weifeng.”
Li Ruobing nodded, and then said in a deep voice, “Send the body back to Yun for a proper burial. At the same time, take good care of the Lu family.” Feng Xidao responded and waved his hand. Immediately, a disciple came forward, lifted up the bodies of Lu Fang and the Lu family disciple, and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, an elder from the Mu family reported to Mu Cheng. After hearing his report, Mu Cheng said directly to Li Ruobing, “Sect Master, there hasn’t been anything unusual with the Mu Yang family these days. They’re still living their lives as usual, and haven’t seen anyone special, not even a single outsider. So, everyone who has met them is here.”
Soon, several members of the Mu family were brought before Li Ruobing. They were all trembling with fear, young and old, male and female. The moment they saw Li Ruobing, they all knelt.
Li Ruobing glanced at them and asked, “Who are you all? What’s your relationship to Mu Yang?”
“To answer your question, Sect Master, we’re neighbors of Mu Yang’s family.”
“We’re friends of Mu Yang’s wife.”
“We’re friends of Mu Zhong.” They all revealed their identities.
As soon as he heard those people reveal their identities, Li Ruobing immediately turned to Feng Xi and said, “Interrogate them and see if there are any clues.”
Feng Xi responded and immediately waved his hand. The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall took those people away. Mu Cheng did not stop them. He knew that the Mu family was being plotted against this time. If he stopped those people from being taken away at this time, then their Mu family would really have no explanation, so now he could only let those people from the Mu family be taken away.
Li Ruobing then turned around and glanced at everyone, then said: “Feng Xidao, register all the people involved in this matter, and don’t let them have any contact with Shu. This matter must be kept strictly confidential.” Feng Xidao responded
quickly, and Li Ruobing turned around and glanced at Mu Cheng and Shen Yu, then said: “This time, you may have been calculated by someone, both of you should not mess around. If you dare to mess around, no matter who does it, I will deal with them, do you understand?”
The two responded in unison, and Li Ruobing nodded, then he said in a deep voice: “Okay, “You two should come with me and inform all the family heads, all the branch hall masters, and all the supreme elders that we must hold a meeting.”
Someone immediately responded and went to make arrangements. When everyone heard Li Ruobing say this, their faces changed, but no one said anything. They felt that Li Ruobing was right to do so. It would be truly irresponsible not to hold a meeting to discuss such a serious matter. So no one objected. Shen Yu, Mu Cheng, and Feng Xidao all followed Li Ruobing and flew straight to the sect’s main hall. They had to discuss everything properly before they could proceed. (End of this chapter)
