Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15920

Chapter 15918. Ambush

“The ghostly attack in Qingshan Village requires an outer disciple to handle.”

Chen Feng looked at the task, noted down the task number, and went directly to the counter. He said to a disciple recording tasks, “Task number 45 (Bing Zi) is accepted.”

The disciple picked up a notebook, flipped through it, and nodded, “Okay, Task number 45 (Bing Zi), identity token.” Chen Feng gave the identity token to the man, who glanced at it, wrote Chen Feng’s name after the task, and gave the token back to Chen Feng. Chen Feng took the token and walked out. Once outside the small building, Chen Feng took to the air and flew away into the distance.

Unbeknownst to Chen Feng, as he flew away, another person followed him, maintaining a distance.

Chen Feng didn’t notice the other party and continued flying forward. In their continent, due to the abundant spiritual energy, unusual things often happened. Ghosts and demonic beasts frequently harmed people, and while the people of the continent also cultivated, their talent was generally not great, and they were usually no match for the ghosts and demonic beasts. Therefore, they could only report these matters to their sects, which would then treat them as tasks and assign them to their disciples. Chen

Feng used to avoid such tasks due to the risks, but now he wanted to take them. He had checked the location of the task; it wasn’t far from their place. If he could resolve it quickly that day, he could return the same day and also display his arrogance to the villagers—a win-win situation. So, he accepted the task.

After flying forward for about an hour, he saw a village nestled at the foot of a mountain. Chen Feng flew directly over and landed in the village.

His actions startled the villagers, who all came out. Soon, an old man dressed in coarse cloth approached Chen Feng. The old man looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with white hair. He bowed to Chen Feng and said, “Greetings, Master.”

These people were technically members of the Qinglan Sect, but they were just ordinary people under the sect’s rule. They were required to bow to Qinglan Sect disciples, which was why he addressed Chen Feng as Master.

Chen Feng nodded and asked, “I heard there are ghosts here? What exactly is going on?” Chen Feng tilted his head slightly, looking at the old man with an arrogant expression, and didn’t stand on ceremony with him, asking directly.

The old man hurriedly replied, “Reporting to Master, it’s like this. Several villagers from our village went into the mountains to gather firewood and didn’t return all day. So we took some people up the mountain to look for them, and we found several corpses there. But their deaths are too strange. Please follow me, Master.” With that, the old man gestured for Chen Feng to follow.

Soon they arrived at the village’s threshing ground, where several coffins were laid out. However, these coffins were clearly homemade and looked very crude.

Without waiting for the old man to speak, Chen Feng went directly to one of the coffins. He glanced at the person inside and found the corpse indeed strange. The corpse’s face was ashen, and a layer of frost had formed on its body. It was summer; how could there be frost on a corpse?

Chen Feng asked, “How many days have they been dead? Was the frost on their bodies there beforehand, or did you use magic?”

The old man quickly replied, “They’ve been dead for three days. The frost on their bodies was all there beforehand. We dared not touch it with our hands; even we would get frostbite if we did. We carried them back using wooden sticks.”

Chen Feng nodded, carefully examining the corpses. They all looked the same, as if they had been frozen to death, but not quite. Chen Feng said in a deep voice, “Call someone over and take me to the place where the bodies were found.”

The old man quickly agreed and then called over a young man. The young man looked to be only in his twenties, but his strength was not great. He had an honest face and bowed to Chen Feng as soon as he arrived.

Chen Feng nodded, then waved his hand, and a cloud of mist appeared beneath their feet, lifting them into the air. Chen Feng then said, “Give me the way.”

The young man cautiously stood on the mist, and upon hearing Chen Feng’s words, he quickly pointed in a direction. Chen Feng didn’t say anything more and flew straight in that direction.

A moment later, the young man pointed to a place in the mountains and said to Chen Feng, “Master, it’s there.”

Chen Feng nodded and flew there, then landed. Upon arriving, Chen Feng frowned, sensing a very strong yin energy. He knew perfectly well what this meant—it meant that ghosts were indeed at work.

Chen Feng slowly walked through the area, sensing his surroundings as he went. Soon, he clearly sensed traces of yin energy in one direction and walked directly in that direction, with the young man closely following behind.

Not long after Chen Feng left, a figure landed where Chen Feng had just landed. He frowned, then muttered, “Yin energy? Is there really a ghost? This is interesting.” He then walked in the direction Chen Feng had gone. This person was none other than Zhang Cheng.

Chen Feng was unaware that Zhang Cheng was following him. He slowly walked forward, sensing the changes in his surroundings. Soon he arrived at the front of a cave. The cave looked dark and deep, and the yin energy was emanating from it.

Chen Feng turned to the young man and asked, “Have you seen this cave before?”

The young man nodded and said, “Yes, this cave has been here for a long time. It’s a large natural cave. We used to rest in this cave when we went up the mountain. It’s warm in winter and cool in summer, very comfortable.”

Chen Feng nodded and then said, “Wait here, don’t go in.” The young man responded and stood at the cave entrance, even taking a few steps back.

Chen Feng glanced at him but said nothing, walking directly into the cave. Mist emanated from his body, enveloping him.

Not long after Chen Feng entered the cave, the young man felt a sharp pain in his neck and collapsed unconscious. Zhang Cheng appeared behind him, glanced at the fallen man, and then walked into the cave.

Once inside, Chen Feng found that the young man was right; the cave was indeed very large. Upon entering, he found a vast space, remarkably flat.

However, Chen Feng frowned. He noticed that the space seemed excessively flat, not naturally formed. Observing the space closely, he realized it wasn’t naturally formed; someone had used magic to level the ground. This piqued Chen Feng’s curiosity. He carefully examined the area before proceeding further.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out, “Rise!” With that voice, a massive Bagua diagram appeared beneath Chen Feng’s feet. Chen Feng felt an immense force envelop him, making it difficult for him to move.

Chen Feng’s expression changed drastically. This situation couldn’t possibly be caused by ghosts; it must be a human. He glanced around and then roared, “Who goes there? Show yourself!”

“Hahaha, Young Master Yu Ping, you’re quite the sight!” With that voice, a person slowly walked out of the cave entrance. Upon seeing the person, Chen Feng was startled, then he coldly snorted, “Zhang Cheng, it’s you! You dare show your face before me?”

Zhang Cheng looked at Chen Feng with a cold smile, saying, “Chen Feng, last time in the life-or-death arena, you made me look so foolish. Today I’m here to take your life.”

Chen Feng looked at Zhang Cheng, then sneered, “Zhang Cheng, are you insane? Last time in the life-or-death arena, I could have killed you, but I spared your life. You don’t even know how to be grateful?” ” That was bad enough, but now you dare to provoke me? I think you want to die.”

Upon hearing Chen Feng’s words, Zhang Cheng’s face showed a hint of humiliation. He looked at Chen Feng and gritted his teeth, saying, “Chen Feng, not killing me last time was the biggest mistake you made. Today, I won’t let you off. You are now under the control of my magic array. Let’s see how you die.”

Chen Feng looked at Zhang Cheng and said in a deep voice, “Zhang Cheng, don’t you know that I have reached the Qi level? Do you think such a magic array can trap me?” After saying that, without any visible movement from Chen Feng, a cloud of mist suddenly rose from beneath Zhang Cheng’s feet, directly enveloping him.

Zhang Cheng never expected that Chen Feng, already inside the magic array, could still attack with mist. Just as he was about to react, Chen Feng clenched his fist, and a cracking sound followed. Zhang Cheng felt excruciating pain and screamed in agony. But the mist didn’t stop; instead, it tightened like a rope, until Zhang Cheng could no longer even cry out. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes bulged, and his face turned a bluish-purple. He had been strangled to death by the mist.

Zhang Cheng was unaware that Chen Feng’s cultivation speed was incredibly fast, and Chen Feng knew he would inevitably face battles in the future. Therefore, he had prayed to the gods to increase his combat power so he could enter the gray mist space and spar with the people inside. Thus, his combat experience was far richer than that of ordinary cultivators, especially his control over his own power.

The reason he spoke to Zhang Cheng was to attract Zhang Cheng’s attention and then secretly use mist to approach Zhang Cheng from below. Zhang Cheng fell for it. Of course, this was also related to his lack of understanding of the magic array. So he was directly ambushed by Chen Feng and killed instantly. Zhang Cheng probably never dreamed that he would die like this. Sure enough, villains die because they talk too much.
