Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16015

Chapter 16013 Assassination

The Shangyang Sect was the largest and strongest sect in this region. Recently, rumors circulated that the Shangyang Sect had formed a hunting team specifically to hunt down rogue cultivators who had committed offenses within the sect. Many rogue cultivators had already died at the hands of this hunting team. Therefore, no matter which sect a rogue cultivator lived under, they dared not offend the Shangyang Sect again; they didn’t want to die. It was precisely because of this that no one stopped Yang Qingyu’s seemingly arrogant behavior.

As darkness approached, Yang Qingyu returned to the inn and went straight to his room to cultivate. While doing missions outside, he no longer needed to accumulate jealousy points by thinking about Yang Dingtian. There was no need. He only needed to wander around the rogue cultivators’ residences and scan the surroundings with his divine sense; countless rogue cultivators would offer him jealousy points. Those rogue cultivators couldn’t help but be jealous, because they also wanted to be as arrogant as Yang Qingyu.

After finishing his spiritual energy cultivation, Yang Qingyu went to rest. However, he was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night. Yang Qingyu was no novice. During his missions outside, he had seen a lot and witnessed countless battles between rogue cultivators. Although various sects would impose some restrictions on rogue cultivators, many sects treated these restrictions as mere formalities. They didn’t care about the lives of those rogue cultivators. Even if a rogue cultivator was killed, they would pretend not to know unless it was reported to them. Therefore, Yang Qingyu had witnessed countless battles between rogue cultivators, and those rogue cultivators would use any means necessary. They only wanted the other party dead. Because of this, Yang Qingyu was now very vigilant. Every night before going to sleep, he would set up an early warning device in his room. It wasn’t a magic array, but simply a wire and a bell.

He learned this trick from a rogue cultivator. While magic arrays are excellent, under normal circumstances, early warning arrays are too expensive for most rogue cultivators to afford. Secondly, if the person targeting you is skilled in magic arrays, your array won’t be able to stop them, and you might not even be able to detect them. However, using a more primitive method of early warning—a silk thread and a bell—is much simpler. The other party won’t dare to easily use their divine sense to check your room, as you’ll easily discover them. If you use a magic array, they can use their divine sense to check it without you noticing. But without a magic array, the other party won’t dare to use their divine sense to check your room. If they want to enter your room without using their divine sense, they’ll either go through the door or the window. You only need a silk thread and a bell to serve as an early warning. The other party will either go through the door or the window to enter your room, and as soon as they move, the bell will ring, and you’ll know. This method is actually more effective.

That’s why Yang Qingyu would set up this warning device every night before going to sleep. Previously, no one had attacked him because everyone knew he was a disciple of the Shangyang Sect, so no one dared to attack him. But today was different. Just past midnight, Yang Qingyu was sleeping soundly when a clear bell rang. He abruptly opened his eyes, then moved, instantly flying up from his lying position.

The instant he took flight, a flying sword pierced his bed. If he hadn’t taken flight immediately, he would have been severely injured, if not dead. After taking

flight, Yang Qingyu immediately stood upright. With a flick of his hand, the flying sword appeared in his grasp. He pointed towards the door, and the sword stabbed directly towards it. As soon as the sword was thrust out, its blade turned red, as if about to burst into flames.

The attacker, realizing his attack had failed, didn’t linger. He soared into the sky, smashing a large hole in the inn’s rooms before turning and flying away. The flying sword that had attacked Yang Qingyu followed him. Yang Qingyu immediately

flew out through the hole and gave chase. The attacker soon disappeared into a forest.

Yang Qingyu entered the forest and scanned his surroundings with his divine sense, finding nothing except a faint energy fluctuation from a large tree. Yang

Qingyu’s face darkened. He knew he couldn’t find his opponent; the attacker had used Wood Escape Technique. This technique allowed the attacker to use a tree to travel dozens of miles in an instant, and could be used in any direction. Even if Yang Qingyu wanted to chase, he wouldn’t know where to go.

Yang Qingyu moved swiftly, taking to the air. He flew towards the inn, his face still grim. He didn’t know who had attacked him. Judging from their methods, they weren’t rogue cultivators. Rogue cultivators typically only knew one or two techniques, and few used flying swords. They didn’t know many techniques like the Five Elements Escape Technique. They usually used talismans, such as Earth Escape Talismans and Wood Escape Talismans, instead of cultivating their own escape techniques. This was because they spent most of their time cultivating spiritual energy and sword or saber techniques, leaving no time for spell cultivation.

Rogue cultivators were different from sect disciples. Sect disciples received a monthly stipend, enough to live comfortably even without doing anything, giving them ample time to cultivate spells. Unlike independent cultivators, they must spend a significant amount of time earning spirit stones each day, otherwise they might starve. After earning enough for a day’s work, they have little time left for cultivation. Besides practicing spiritual energy and martial arts, they have no time to practice spells.

The person who attacked Yang Qingyu not only used a flying sword—a good one at that—but also a Wood Release technique, not a Wood Release talisman. All of this suggests that the attacker was likely a disciple of a sect, not an independent cultivator.

Why would a sect disciple attack him? Which sect was he from? Yang Qingyu couldn’t understand. Which sect had a grudge against him? He didn’t believe he had offended anyone. He always informed the sect beforehand when he went to kill independent cultivators, which was already very polite. Those sects shouldn’t have attacked him. So who wanted to kill him?

When Yang Qingyu returned to the inn, he found it surrounded by a crowd of people. Many rogue cultivators were watching the spectacle, while the innkeeper looked ashen-faced. Beside him stood two disciples from the sect they were currently in, who were asking the innkeeper something.

Yang Qingyu landed directly in front of the inn, immediately attracting everyone’s attention. The two disciples from the sect breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Yang Qingyu, and then bowed to him in unison, saying, “Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yang.”

Yang Qingyu returned the bow and then smiled at the two, saying, “Greetings, Fellow Daoists. Thank you for your trouble.” Yang Qingyu was certain that these two had come to investigate the attack on him. The only thing with a large hole in the roof outside his room in the entire inn, and he had disappeared, meant that someone must have been trying to attack him. The innkeeper knew his identity and naturally dared not neglect him, and must have reported it to the sect immediately. After learning of this, the sect dared not fail to check the situation. Now that they saw Yang Qingyu had returned, they were naturally very happy. Yang Qingyu was alive, which was the best news for them.

The two men quickly said, “No trouble at all. Fellow Daoist Yang, do you know who attacked you?”

Yang Qingyu shook his head; he truly didn’t know who had attacked him. Seeing Yang Qingyu’s expression, the two men couldn’t help but feel disappointed. After exchanging a few more words with Yang Qingyu, they turned and left.

After the two men left, the innkeeper came over. He forced a smile and said to Yang Qingyu, “Sir, we’ve changed your room. Please come and rest.”

Yang Qingyu nodded, then tossed the innkeeper a spirit stone, saying, “Here you go, consider it payment for repairing the roof.” He then gestured for the innkeeper’s assistant to lead the way. The assistant hurriedly led Yang Qingyu to his new room, while the innkeeper held the spirit stone, his face filled with complex emotions.

Yang Qingyu stayed in the new room until dawn. He didn’t fall asleep, worried that the other party would come looking for him again, so he stayed until dawn. Fortunately, the other party didn’t come. Yang Qingyu immediately began to cultivate. However, the reward he wanted after entering that space this time was quite special. When the statue asked him what reward he wanted, Yang Qingyu directly said, “My Lord, I want to know who attacked me.”

“But, the one who attacked you was Qian Zhengfang from the Shangyang Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingyu’s expression changed drastically. He never expected that the attacker would be from the Shangyang Sect, and even more surprisingly, from the Qian family. The Qian family was the only major family in the Shangyang Sect that could rival the Yang family. The two families had dealings with each other, but they were also secretly competing. The two families were roughly equal in strength; in terms of absolute power, the Qian family might be slightly weaker, but not by much. Although the two families competed secretly, they maintained a respectable relationship on the surface, and had even formed a marriage alliance. Therefore, Yang Qingyu never imagined that the Qian family would send someone to kill him.

The Qian family sending someone to kill him meant they knew his strength and that he was a genius of the Yang family. Therefore, the Qian family probably wanted to eliminate him, so that the Yang family would lose a kingdom-level expert in the future.

Most importantly, he frequently went out on missions, which was a perfect opportunity for the Qian family. Killing him on the territory of another sect would reduce the number of leads to the Yang Sect and the Yang family, making it much more difficult to investigate. That’s why the Qian family made their move here.

Thinking of this, Yang Qingyu’s face grew even uglier. He truly hadn’t expected the Qian family to use such methods against the Yang family. However, it seemed difficult to report this back home, as he couldn’t explain how he knew the attackers were from the Qian family.
