Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15979
Chapter 15977: The Revenge Team
The Flame Pirate Gang retreated. They lost over a hundred men, but also stole a great deal. The rumors were true; the Flame Pirate Gang did indeed have a Kingdom-level expert, and the Qingyang Sect also had one. Furthermore, the Qingyang Sect was fighting on home ground and had even fully activated their protective mountain array. Even so, the Flame Pirate Gang retreated calmly, demonstrating their formidable strength. The
Qingyang Sect, on the other hand, lost over three hundred men, mostly low-level disciples. Wu Lingfeng survived, though injured, but not seriously—just superficial wounds—and has already recovered.
He returned to his room. As for restoring the damaged sect buildings, that wasn’t his responsibility as an inner disciple; others would handle it. Wu Lingfeng only needed to return to his cultivation.
After returning to his room, Wu Lingfeng immediately began cultivating. He was confident that he would receive a substantial reward today. Sure enough, as soon as he started cultivating, countless streams of spiritual energy surged into his body. If it were ordinary spiritual energy, such a surge would likely have destroyed his meridians. However, this spiritual energy was a reward from the God of Wrath, so Wu Lingfeng was unharmed. The spiritual energy directly merged with his own, continuously elevating his cultivation level. In just this one cultivation session, he reached the high-level Throne stage. When Wu Lingfeng stopped cultivating, he himself could hardly believe it, because at his current cultivation speed, he would break through to the Royal Chariot stage in no time.
In the Qingyang Sect, reaching the Imperial Carriage level already signifies a minor expert. Although he will still be an inner disciple, his status among them will be relatively high. Most importantly, if he truly reaches the Imperial Carriage level, with his current strength, he won’t be considered old at all among Imperial Carriage level experts. The sect’s attention towards him will be completely different then. A
look of wild joy flashed across Wu Lingfeng’s face. He wanted to jump up and shout, but he held back. He wasn’t twenty years old anymore. If he were, he would have jumped up and shouted long ago, but he wasn’t. He was fifty years old now, so he suppressed his laughter, but the joy was uncontrollable. His face was full of wild joy. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. After a while, he returned to normal, let out a long breath, and then walked outside. When he pushed open the door, he saw the situation outside.
Outside, many disciples were busy rebuilding the sect’s destroyed buildings. Looking at them, Wu Lingfeng’s smile slowly faded. He saw his former self reflected in them. If his strength hadn’t improved, he would be among those working disciples. The cultivation world was cruel, like a pyramid; ordinary people were always at the bottom, and the higher one climbed, the fewer people remained. Wu Lingfeng had already taken a step upward, and he wanted to take another, so he had to work even harder. He
thought about it and realized his approach to effort should be different from others. Others worked hard, but his effort was about making others angry. With this thought, Wu Lingfeng let out a long sigh, then retreated back into his room, closing the door. He wasn’t going out today.
In the following days, tensions remained high at Qingyang Sect. While all the damaged buildings had been restored, the atmosphere remained oppressive. Although the sect hadn’t specified the extent of the losses, Wu Lingfeng was acutely aware that they were significant. At least two warehouses had been breached by the Flame Pirate Gang, and their contents stolen. This was a substantial loss for Qingyang Sect.
The loss of two warehouses was a considerable blow, not just to Qingyang Sect, but to any sect. Furthermore, Qingyang Sect had suffered a tremendous loss of face. As
a mid-tier sect with a Kingdom-level expert, being attacked by a pirate gang was a serious blow. It was easy to imagine that future generations would associate Qingyang Sect with this incident, and its disciples would likely find it difficult to hold their heads high in front of other sects.
However, Wu Lingfeng didn’t care about all that. These matters were irrelevant to him; he was just a lowly inner disciple, and he didn’t concern himself with such things. What did, however, concern him: Elder Lu, the outer sect elder in charge of Area Seven, had actually died in the recent battle.
Yes, Elder Lu, the one who had driven him out of Area Seven, was dead. He had died at the hands of a pirate, and his sudden death surprised Wu Lingfeng, making him realize once again the cruelty of the cultivation world.
Elder Lu’s rise to that position was no easy feat. Within the Qingyang Sect, there were many Throne-level cultivators, and Elder Lu was one of them. His appointment as an outer sect elder was already quite remarkable. He could have lived a peaceful life, perhaps even establishing a small family. But now he’s dead. It’s said he did indeed have a small family, and he was the highest-ranking member within it. Now that he’s gone, no one knows what will become of his family.
Although Wu Lingfeng had a grudge against Elder Lu, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow upon hearing the news. To die so suddenly, especially someone you knew so well—it’s impossible not to feel something upon hearing such news. Wu Lingfeng was no exception.
These past few days, Wu Lingfeng continued to visit both the inner and outer sect management offices, still receiving substantial daily rewards. He calculated that he would likely break through to the Imperial Chariot level in about a month.
Just as he was diligently cultivating, he suddenly received a message that the sect had assigned him a mandatory task, personally delivered to him by a disciple. This gave Wu Lingfeng a sudden sense of unease. Within the
sect, tasks were divided into two types: mandatory tasks and ordinary tasks. Mandatory tasks were usually assigned directly to the disciple by the sect and could not be refused. Refusing would result in severe punishment, ranging from execution to solitary confinement. Ordinary tasks were generally only required for an inner disciple to complete five tasks to fulfill the sect’s requirements. This meant that Wu Lingfeng only needed to complete five tasks a year, and the rest of the time he could relax. If he wasn’t worried about income, he could do nothing for a year without anyone blaming him. However, this time the sect had given him a mandatory task, and with just one, he wouldn’t need to do any other tasks.
Of course, this task is time-sensitive. For example, if you accept a task to help the sect guard the herb garden, and this task is for one year, then you only need to accept one task. The number of tasks isn’t fixed; it depends on the type of task you accept.
Wu Lingfeng carefully opened the notification slip, wanting to see what kind of task he was tasked with this time. When he opened the notification slip, he was stunned, and then his face turned extremely ugly.
The task was actually very simple. The sect wanted to form a team, a battle team called the Revenge Team. From the name of this battle team, it was clear that the Qingyang Sect was preparing to retaliate against the Flame Pirate Gang. And this team’s mission was indeed this: the Qingyang Sect formed a Revenge Team to track down the Flame Pirate Gang’s whereabouts and then attack them. That was the mission of the Revenge Team.
This was arguably an extremely dangerous mission. The Flame Pirate Gang’s strength was undeniable; they had stormed the Qingyang Sect, plundered it, and escaped unscathed—that in itself demonstrated their power. Now, they were going to attack the Flame Pirate Gang? Wasn’t that suicidal?
Wu Lingfeng understood the sect’s intentions. The sect had lost face after being attacked by the Flame Pirate Gang, and to regain it, they had assembled this team. The sect probably hadn’t even considered that this team would actually attack the Flame Pirate Gang. They had created this team purely for show, to demonstrate to outsiders that the Qingyang Sect wasn’t a coward and that they were going to retaliate against the Flame Pirate Gang. Even if they didn’t find them, it wasn’t their fault; they were going to retaliate, they just hadn’t found them yet.
It might seem harmless, but it was actually quite dangerous. Didn’t the Flame Pirate Gang have any pride? They robbed so many sects before, and none of those sects thought of revenge. Now your Qingyang Sect has created such a team and says you want to retaliate against us. What do you want to do? Do you really think our Flame Pirate Gang is a pushover and won’t dare to attack you?
Moreover, in Wu Lingfeng’s view, the Flame Pirate Gang will definitely attack them because after Qingyang Sect formed this revenge team, they became the first to stick their necks out. The smaller sects that the Flame Pirate Gang attacked before either didn’t dare or didn’t have the ability to form any revenge teams. But now that Qingyang Sect has formed a revenge team, this is a very dangerous signal for the Flame Pirate Gang. If the Flame Pirate Gang allows Qingyang Sect’s revenge team to survive, then whichever sect they attack in the future, that sect will definitely form a revenge team as well. If there are more and more such revenge teams, then the Flame Pirate Gang will be finished. Therefore, in order to dispel the idea of other sects forming revenge teams, the Flame Pirate Gang will definitely attack Qingyang Sect’s revenge team with all their might. It can be said that from the moment this revenge team was formed, their fate was already sealed: death.
It was precisely because he realized this that Wu Lingfeng’s expression turned so pale. He instantly understood that he had been tricked. As for who tricked him, Wu Lingfeng could figure it out with his toes: it must be Wu Changling. Although he had many enemies, there were only a few who really wanted him dead, and Wu Changling was definitely one of them, and he had the ability to do so.
