Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15988

Chapter 15986: Attack

Huo Lei glanced at everyone, then smiled and said, “Let me introduce you all. This is Wu Feng from our gang. He’s the one who discovered that demon’s affair. He’s a cultivation fanatic. If he hadn’t been cultivating that day, we probably would have fallen into his trap, and we wouldn’t have been able to tell you all this. I brought him out this time to introduce him to everyone. If anything happens in the future, please take care of him.” After saying that, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone. Upon hearing his words, everyone clasped their hands in return, saying they didn’t dare to accept it. However, they did remember Wu Lingfeng’s appearance. Although these rogue cultivators would do many things for profit, they also knew how to be grateful. This time, they truly wanted to remember Wu Lingfeng’s kindness.

Wu Lingfeng smiled and returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute. He then found a place to sit with Huo Lei. Huo Lei ordered a few dishes and two jugs of wine. While waiting for the food, Huo Lei looked at everyone and asked, “Anything interesting lately?”

Everyone shook their heads. Then a cultivator spoke up, “There’s something interesting today, but everyone’s looking for that guy, and there’s still no news. Either he’s hiding too well, or he’s already escaped.”

Many rogue cultivators here are searching for that demonic cultivator, but the teleportation array isn’t closed, so the demonic cultivator can still leave. That’s why people say he’s escaped.

Huo Lei said in a deep voice, “It’s best if he runs away. Otherwise, finding him won’t be easy, and even if we do find him, killing him won’t be easy either. We might end up killing even more people; that guy’s strength is considerable.”

Everyone nodded. They were rogue cultivators, not righteous cultivators. How many people that guy killed was none of their business. The reason they wanted to drive him away was because he had become a threat to all of them, which was why they wanted to find him.

However, that guy was strong, and if they really wanted to kill him, many of them would probably die too. Nobody wanted to die, so as Huo Lei said, it was best if he left and went to harm others, just not them.

Wu Lingfeng didn’t speak, only observing everyone’s reactions. Soon, the food and wine were served, and everyone drank tea and chatted about recent events—a kind of information exchange.

For these independent cultivators, this information exchange was essential. They could share trivial information, and in doing so, they could also gather other intelligence – a good thing.

However, they didn’t gain much useful information. After all, they all lived there; what one person knew, another knew too, so there wasn’t much truly useful intelligence.

Huo Lei and his group finished several jugs of wine and returned directly to the courtyard to rest. Wu Lingfeng resumed his cultivation, noticing that he had received more rewards that day.

The next day, Huo Lei and his group went to work again. That evening, they went to the tavern once more, but as soon as they entered, they sensed something was amiss; everyone’s expressions were rather unpleasant.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Huo Lei looked at them with some confusion and asked, “What’s wrong with everyone? Why do you all look so pale?”

A cultivator said, “Another person has died. Just last night, a lone rogue cultivator was killed and drained of his blood. The body was discovered this morning. That guy didn’t leave; he’s still killing people.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Lei’s expression changed. He immediately said, “It seems we have to find him. We can’t afford not to. What are your thoughts?”

Everyone exchanged glances, and then a cultivator said, “Let’s go back and discuss this before making a decision. How about we all come back here tomorrow and discuss it properly?”

Everyone nodded. This time, Huo Lei didn’t even drink any wine and directly led Wu Lingfeng and Li Tong towards the courtyard.

As they walked, Li Tong said, “I really didn’t expect that guy to stay. It seems he’s not planning to leave. What does he want? Is he really going to deal with us here?”

Wu Lingfeng said in a deep voice, “That guy is obviously very familiar with this place. He wants to finish forging his demonic blade here. If he goes somewhere else, he’ll be a stranger. If something happens there, people will think of him first, and he’ll be more easily exposed. So he’d better stay here. But then we have to be careful.”

Hearing Wu Lingfeng say this, Huo Lei nodded, then sighed softly. Just as he was about to speak, Wu Lingfeng suddenly produced a sword and slashed straight at Huo Lei’s neck.

His move was incredibly fast; Huo Lei didn’t even have time to react. He stared at the sword Wu Lingfeng was slashing at, his eyes almost shrinking to pinpoints.

The next moment, a clang was heard, and Wu Lingfeng’s long sword slashed down, simultaneously blocking a curved blade.

At this moment, Wu Lingfeng threw the broken sword away. Huo Lei then realized that Wu Lingfeng’s move had actually saved his life. He immediately turned to look in the direction Wu Lingfeng had thrown the sword and saw a man dressed in black standing on a wall, holding a curved sword that had just flown back into his hand. Clearly, he had intended to use the sword to kill Huo Lei, but Wu Lingfeng had saved him.

Huo Lei’s hand moved, and double hammers appeared in his hands. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. If Wu Lingfeng hadn’t reacted quickly, he would be dead by now. At this moment, Wu Lingfeng’s hand moved again, and a knife appeared in his hand. He held the knife, his eyes fixed on the man on the wall.

The man on the wall glanced at them, then flipped over and leaped to the other side, disappearing from sight. Huo Lei was about to jump up and chase after him when Wu Lingfeng grabbed him. Huo Lei looked at Wu Lingfeng, puzzled. Wu Lingfeng said in a deep voice, “He knows a technique that allows him to hide in the shadows. If we chase after him, we might get hurt. We should go back quickly.”

Huo Lei nodded. At this moment, Li Tong also realized what had happened. His face was pale as he said, “That was too dangerous, too dangerous!”

He didn’t know what to say. He hadn’t even had time to react. If Wu Lingfeng hadn’t reacted quickly, Huo Lei would have been finished. Li Tong was still a little scared when he thought about it. If Huo Lei had died, their Green Wolf Gang would have suffered a huge blow, and their very survival would be uncertain.

Huo Lei said in a deep voice, “Let’s go back first.” He then strode towards the courtyard, with Wu Lingfeng and Li Tong following closely behind. Li Tong also drew a long sword, and none of the three sheathed their weapons; instead, they all held them in their hands.

Fortunately, they were unharmed this time and quickly returned to the courtyard. Once inside, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Huo Lei continued, “That guy’s abilities are astonishing. No, we must dig him out as soon as possible, otherwise no one will be safe.”

Wu Lingfeng said in a deep voice, “Let’s arrange for another person to keep watch at night, one in the light and one in the dark. That will be safer.”

Huo Lei nodded and immediately arranged for people to set up the hidden sentry post. This incident was truly terrifying. If Wu Lingfeng hadn’t reacted quickly enough, Huo Lei would be dead today. Because of this, Huo Lei was extremely grateful to Wu Lingfeng, and since Wu Lingfeng’s suggestion was indeed very reasonable, he immediately agreed.

After arranging the hidden sentries, Huo Lei said directly, “You broke your flying sword today to save me. I’ll get you a new one another day.”

Wu Lingfeng laughed and said, “Okay, but it doesn’t have to be new. The hidden one is fine too. I don’t know how many years I’ve used it. It was old when I bought it. It’s too wasteful for people like us to use new flying swords.”

Huo Lei laughed heartily upon hearing this, then patted Wu Lingfeng on the shoulder and said, “Your swordsmanship is indeed very impressive. I’ll definitely get you a good flying sword.”

Wu Lingfeng nodded with a smile, then went straight back to his room. Soon the courtyard quieted down, and Wu Lingfeng began to cultivate.

Today, while cultivating, he noticed that he seemed to have received more rewards than usual, which made Wu Lingfeng a little curious. He really didn’t know why he had received so many rewards this time, but regardless, it was a good thing, and he was still very happy.

The next morning, Huo Lei went out without eating breakfast, but returned shortly after. Wu Lingfeng looked at Huo Lei with some confusion. Huo Lei explained, “I informed several gangs we know about the attack we were attacked last night. This will make them remember our favor, and they’ll let us know if they have any news in the future. If they inform us, we can take precautions.”

Wu Lingfeng nodded. He understood Huo Lei’s meaning; he was building connections. The Green Wolf Gang was a newly established small gang with no prior connections. This was a good opportunity to build their network, which would benefit the Green Wolf Gang.

Wu Lingfeng admired Huo Lei’s methods. To establish the Green Wolf Gang under such circumstances and then use this opportunity to build connections was truly remarkable.

Huo Lei then spoke up, “I think we need to have a serious discussion with everyone tonight. We have to find those guys, otherwise it’s too dangerous. We have a grudge against that guy, but we can’t guarantee he won’t use this method to attack others, so no one is safe right now.”

Wu Lingfeng nodded and said, “That’s true. How about this, I’ll go with you tonight. I’m worried that guy will attack us again, so we have to be careful.”

Huo Lei nodded. He didn’t object. What happened last night really scared him. He even dreamed about that knife last night. It was so close, so close! So Huo Lei now most wanted to find that guy and skin him alive.
