Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15987

Chapter 15985: The Demon’s Trail

The next day, Wu Lingfeng moved directly into the courtyard. Huo Lei personally arranged accommodations for him. Afterwards, the group continued working. When they returned in the evening, they found that the fellow Daoist had already rented out his house. It had to be said, this person was indeed quite capable.

Wu Lingfeng needed to keep a low profile, so his cultivation speed slowed down. However, he wasn’t in a hurry. Now that he wasn’t in the sect, being too high-profile might attract attention. So, he continued to work with Huo Lei and the others every day, and life was quite peaceful.

However, every day after they returned from work, Huo Lei and the others would go out to gather information. There were many rumors circulating about the destruction of the Iron Fist Gang, all sorts of rumors, and Huo Lei and the others couldn’t find any useful information for the time being.

That night, Huo Lei and the others went out to gather information again, but it seemed they hadn’t obtained any useful information either, and they all went back to their rooms to sleep.

These past few days, Wu Lingfeng had been acting like a martial arts fanatic. After returning from work each day, he would practice in his room and rarely went out drinking. Huo Lei and the others admired Wu Lingfeng’s character and naturally, no one said anything.

Wu Lingfeng had actually been keeping an eye on Huo Lei and the others’ movements. Seeing that they seemed

to have made no progress, he didn’t say anything and simply went to rest. However, in the middle of the night, Wu Lingfeng was suddenly awakened. Although he had concealed his strength, he was still a master of the Imperial Chariot level. He could hear far more sounds than Huo Lei and the others, and his senses were much sharper. So, in the middle of the night, he heard a very faint sound. He heard someone jump onto the courtyard wall and seem to take out a tinderbox.

Tinderboxes are generally used by low-level rogue cultivators because they don’t know fire-based magic and can only use them. However, some high-level rogue cultivators also use them because tinderboxes don’t emit energy fluctuations when used, making them useful for doing things they don’t want to be discovered. After hearing a soft sound, Wu Lingfeng immediately used his divine sense to scan his surroundings and saw the person take out a tinderbox, seemingly lighting an incense stick. Upon seeing this

, Wu Lingfeng’s expression changed drastically. He immediately jumped up and shouted, “Who goes there?” He then rushed out of the room, heading straight for the person on the wall.

His shout was actually a warning to the others, waking them up. Sure enough, following his shout, Huo Lei also rushed out of the room, as did the others, but they were all a little too slow. By this time, Wu Lingfeng had already engaged the person in combat.

The man was dressed entirely in black, wielding a strange curved sword with a sharp arc. The sword emitted a bloody stench when swung.

Wu Lingfeng, wielding his flying sword, was engaged in combat with the man. The man was quite strong, having reached the peak of the Qi level. Wu Lingfeng didn’t want to reveal himself, so he could only defend, but he managed to keep his opponent occupied.

At this moment, Huo Lei and his group rushed out. Seeing them, the man knew he wouldn’t succeed today. He gave Wu Lingfeng a deep look, then coldly snorted before disappearing into the darkness. He seemed to be able to blend into the night. Although Wu Lingfeng could lock onto him, that would reveal his strength, so he didn’t give chase.

At this moment, Huo Lei jumped onto the wall. He glanced outside, his eyes filled with fear. Of course, he couldn’t see anything, so he turned to Wu Lingfeng and asked, “Old Wu, what’s going on?”

Wu Lingfeng was already quite familiar with them, and judging from his age, he was no longer young, so Huo Lei and the others called him Old Wu.

Wu Lingfeng said in a deep voice, “I don’t know where that guy came from. He tried to light an incense stick with a tinderbox, seemingly intending to ambush us. I was cultivating when he caught me.”

Huo Lei’s face showed a hint of lingering fear. He said, “He must have been trying to use a bewitching incense on us. If we had been affected, we would have been finished. By the way, did that guy have any other distinguishing features?”

Wu Lingfeng thought carefully for a moment, then said, “The knife in his hand was very special. It had a large curve and a very strong smell of blood. It seemed to be a special kind of magical weapon. His face was covered with a black cloth, so we couldn’t see his features or any other distinguishing features.”

Upon hearing Wu Lingfeng’s words, Huo Lei’s expression changed, and then he… He sighed and said, “It seems this person must have practiced demonic arts, otherwise they wouldn’t be so strange.”

Wu Lingfeng nodded. At this moment, the two returned to the courtyard. Li Tong and the others also heard their conversation. Li Tong suddenly spoke up, “Boss Huo, do you think that guy might be related to the Iron Fist Gang being wiped out? Didn’t the Iron Fist Gang members say they didn’t resist? Could it be that they were first drugged with bewitching incense and then killed by that guy? And I heard that the Iron Fist Gang members didn’t bleed much, it was as if their blood was being sucked away. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken so long for people to smell the blood. I heard they didn’t have much blood left. If that guy really used a demonic artifact, then it wouldn’t be surprising that he could suck blood.”

Upon hearing Li Tong’s words, Huo Lei’s expression changed, and he immediately said, “You’re right, that’s indeed possible. If they really are demonic cultivators, they would indeed use some strange magical artifacts. If it weren’t for Lao Wu this time, we would probably be in danger. If we had really fallen for the bewitching incense, we probably wouldn’t even have had a chance to resist.”

Wu Lingfeng waved his hand and said, “Let’s not talk about that now. I think we must arrange for someone to keep watch every night from now on, otherwise it’s too dangerous.”

Huo Lei said, “Okay, it’s settled then. Arrange for someone to keep watch every night. ” “We’ll take turns keeping watch. The person who keeps watch tonight won’t have to work the next day. What do you all think?”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Seeing that everyone agreed, Huo Lei said, “Okay, it’s good that everyone agrees. Old Wu will go first tonight. He’s already kept watch half the night.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Wu Lingfeng didn’t object. Everyone went back to rest, while Wu Lingfeng jumped onto the roof and quietly lay there, looking around. He was really worried that the guy might come back, which would be troublesome.

Fortunately, nothing happened that night. The next day, after having breakfast with everyone, Wu Lingfeng went to the woods with them. However, he didn’t work that day. After arriving at the woods, he went straight to find a place to sleep, which everyone agreed to.

After returning to the courtyard that evening, Huo Lei arranged for others to keep watch while he, along with Li Tong and the others, left the courtyard again to gather information. However, Wu Lingfeng believed they weren’t just gathering information; they might spread the news that a member of the Demonic Sect was cultivating magical artifacts. Although doing so might offend that person terribly, it would make their actions more difficult, and who knows when that person would be dealt with by others, thus ensuring their safety.

Sure enough, news soon spread throughout the area where the rogue cultivators lived: a disciple of the Demonic Sect was killing people to refine artifacts. This immediately caused a stir in the area, with everyone investigating the matter. After all, this matter concerned everyone, and everyone wanted to find that demonic cultivator. If they didn’t find him, they would all be in danger, so everyone was searching for him.

In fact, among the rogue cultivators, there are quite a few who practice demonic techniques, and no one cares what kind of technique you practice. However, if your technique requires killing to cultivate, even rogue cultivators won’t tolerate you. Who knows if you might kill them in order to cultivate? Therefore, if you encounter such a person, rogue cultivators must find and kill them, otherwise, no one will be safe.

Wu Lingfeng understood the current situation and stopped cultivating. That night, after finishing his work, he left the courtyard with Huo Lei and Li Tong.

When Huo Lei saw Wu Lingfeng wanting to go out with him, he was taken aback, then laughed and said, “Rare indeed! You, the cultivation fanatic, are actually going out too?”

Wu Lingfeng said in a deep voice, “It’s all because of that demonic cultivator. I won’t feel at ease until I find him.”

Hearing Wu Lingfeng’s words, Huo Lei stopped laughing and nodded, saying seriously, “That’s true. That guy’s affair has caused widespread panic. If we can’t find him quickly, many people won’t be able to sleep peacefully.”

Wu Lingfeng nodded and said in a deep voice, “That guy failed here, and the news has spread. He will definitely hate us, so we must be extra careful. I’m worried that he will retaliate against us, so we must find him as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I didn’t see his face when I fought him, otherwise, it would be much easier to find him.”

Huo Lei said in a deep voice, “This…” “It’s not your fault. It was already quite an achievement that you found him. If it weren’t for you, we might have become the second Iron Fist Gang. Not just us, I think the other gangs should thank you too. If you hadn’t found that guy, we wouldn’t know what would have happened.”

Li Tong nodded and said, “Yes, if it weren’t for you, Brother Wu, who knows how many more people would have died. But unfortunately, I don’t think anyone will really thank you.”

Wu Lingfeng shook his head and said, “Whether they thank me or not doesn’t matter. What I want now is to find that guy as soon as possible. Only when we find him and deal with him can we truly feel at ease.”

Huo Lei and Li Tong both nodded, and then they walked into a tavern. There were quite a few people in the tavern, and everyone was talking in hushed tones. Some people greeted Huo Lei when they saw him come in, and others greeted Li Tong. Then their eyes fell on Wu Lingfeng.
