Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16026
Chapter 16024 Warning
Previously, the rogue cultivators hadn’t moved because no one was taking the lead. Now that someone had taken the lead, some of them began to stir. However, they were still observing, wanting to see how the Wu Gou Sect would deal with these sneaking in guys.
But even after those people reached the Wu Gou Sect’s main hall, the sect remained silent. The rogue cultivators couldn’t wait any longer. Someone shouted, “The Wu Gou Sect is finished! Charge! If you’re too late, you won’t get a single hair!” That person charged forward, and the others followed suit, plunging the entire Wu Gou Sect into chaos.
This chaos continued until the next day. By then, the Shangyang Sect members had all left via teleportation. They didn’t return directly to the Shangyang Sect but went to another small sect, changed their appearance there, and then left again via teleportation. They changed their appearance again and left again via teleportation. After several such trips, they finally returned to the Shangyang Sect.
Before news of the trouble at Wu Gou Sect had even spread, all the rogue cultivators who had made a fortune there had fled immediately. When they arrived at a new sect, they naturally wouldn’t mention the Wu Gou Sect incident. Many, like the people from Shangyang Sect, had moved between several sects before finally settling down in an inconspicuous one. It wasn’t until
several days later that the true extent of the trouble at Wu Gou Sect was discovered. This was when later rogue cultivators arrived at Wu Gou Sect and found all the other rogue cultivators gone. After learning the situation, they realized Wu Gou Sect was finished and immediately spread the news.
The news quickly spread throughout the entire Shangyang Domain. As the leading sect in the Shangyang Domain, the Shangyang Sect immediately sent people to the Wu Gou Sect to investigate. Unfortunately, after being destroyed by the Yang family, the Wu Gou Sect had been repeatedly looted by rogue cultivators. Furthermore, these rogue cultivators had engaged in numerous conflicts and battles while robbing the Wu Gou Sect’s belongings, leaving no trace whatsoever. Even if they wanted to investigate, they couldn’t find anything.
The Yang family, of course, kept silent about the matter, and even rewarded everyone involved in the operation—a fact unknown to outsiders. The Qian family
reacted the most strongly to this incident. The Qian family had a very good relationship with the Wu Gou Sect, and they were shocked that the Wu Gou Sect had been destroyed. The Qian family desperately wanted to know who had done it, so when the Shangyang Sect sent people to investigate, the Qian family dispatched several experts along with them.
After a thorough investigation at Wu Gou Sect’s headquarters, they made a discovery. They found that many of the battle traces left at Wu Gou Sect’s main hall contained faint fluctuations of Shangyang Sect’s spiritual energy; these fluctuations were so subtle that they would have been missed entirely if their investigation hadn’t been so meticulous.
Meanwhile, while the Shangyang Sect members were investigating at Wu Gou Sect’s headquarters, an elder from the Yang family requested an audience with an elder from the Qian family. The two elders were of similar status, and the Yang family elder spoke very politely, stating that he simply wanted to catch up with the Qian family and discuss marriage arrangements for some of their disciples.
The Qian and Yang families had arranged marriages more than once, but one point is noteworthy: the chosen individuals for these marriages were all relatively low-ranking members of the families. In other words, the true core disciples of both families were not involved in these alliances. So, while it appeared to be a marriage alliance, it was practically nonexistent. If a conflict arose between the two families, these marriage partners would simply be pawns to be discarded at any time.
An elder from the Qian family immediately received the elder from the Yang family. The two even went to a tavern for a couple of drinks. After ordering their drinks, they began to chat. After a few words, the Yang family elder suddenly spoke up: “You’ve heard about the Wu Gou Sect, haven’t you? It’s truly unbelievable that a sect could be wiped out so easily. It’s such a pity. I wonder who had such audacity.”
Upon hearing this, the Qian family elder’s expression changed slightly. He actually knew what had happened; not many people within the Shangyang Sect knew about the Qian family’s alliance with the Wu Gou Sect. He didn’t show it, but nodded and said, “Yes, it’s really unexpected that the Wu Gou Sect was wiped out so easily.”
The elder from the Yang family looked at him, a smile flashing in his eyes, and then he lowered his voice and said, “Why do you think the Wu Gou Sect was wiped out? Was it because someone coveted their sect’s things, or because their sect did something they shouldn’t have done, that they were destroyed?”
The elder from the Qian family was about to say he didn’t know, but he suddenly froze, then stared intently at the elder from the Yang family, while the elder from the Yang family picked up his wine cup and took a small sip.
The Qian family elder stared intently at the Yang family elder before speaking, “What do you think?”
The Yang family elder smiled slightly, looking at him and saying, “I think this matter is definitely not simple. If it were really aimed at their sect’s possessions, they wouldn’t have wiped out the entire sect. After all, if this matter blows up, someone will definitely investigate. So I think it must be that the Wu Gou Sect did something to offend someone, and this time they offended someone they couldn’t afford to offend, which is why they were wiped out.”
The Qian family elder’s breathing became heavier. He lowered his eyes slightly, not letting the Yang family elder see the emotions in them, and then he said, “You’re right, I think so too.”
The Yang family member smiled slightly and said, “Yes, some people are like that. They think they’re important and want to meddle in things they shouldn’t be involved in. In the end, all that awaits them is death. So, it’s better to be honest and upright. Otherwise, one day you won’t even know how you died. What a pity, what a pity.”
The Qian family elder also agreed and said nothing more. The two then drank a few more cups of wine and went home separately.
Upon returning to the Qian family, the elder immediately went to see the patriarch. The patriarch was sitting in his study. After the elder entered and bowed, he asked, “What is it?” The patriarch,
Qian Jiang, appeared to be in his forties and was quite robust, but his face was somewhat gloomy. The elder, knowing the reason for his expression, immediately said, “Patriarch, an elder from the Yang family requested a meeting today to discuss a marriage alliance between our two families.”
Qian Jiang remained expressionless and said, “Then it’s settled. What’s done before, will be done today.”
The elder acknowledged, then added, “Yes, Patriarch. After the discussion, when we went to the tavern for drinks, the Yang family elder suddenly said some very strange things.”
Qian Jiang looked at the elder and asked, “What strange things?”
The elder replied, “He suddenly…” Speaking of the Wu Gou Sect, he asked me why I thought it was destroyed. Was it because someone coveted its possessions, or because the Wu Gou Sect did something wrong?
Upon hearing this, Qian Jiang’s expression changed drastically, his eyes flashing like lightning as he stared at the elder. “Go on,” he said.
The elder clearly felt the pressure from Qian Jiang, but he still spoke, “Yes, Sect Master, I felt there was something more to his words, so I asked him, ‘What do you think?’ He said the Wu Gou Sect must have done something wrong, offended someone, and that’s why it was destroyed. He also said that some people think they’re important enough to interfere in things they shouldn’t, and that what awaits them is death. It’s better to be honest, otherwise you won’t even know how you died.”
Qian Jiang’s face turned ashen. He waved his hand and said, “Alright, you may leave.” The elder acknowledged, bowed to Qian Jiang, and left Qian Jiang’s study.
After the elder left, Qian Jiang slammed his palm on the desk in the study. The desk instantly turned to dust, and everything on it fell to the ground. Qian Jiang gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: “The Yang family, indeed ruthless.” He then stood there, catching his breath, before saying, “Someone come here.”
Immediately, a servant entered from outside. Seeing the mess on the floor, he immediately knelt down. Qian Jiang said, “Clean this up. Bring me a new desk. Then go and inform all the elders who are at home to hold a meeting in the small council hall.” The servant acknowledged and immediately stood up and left the study. He then went to arrange these matters, while Qian Jiang walked towards the small council hall.
When he arrived at the small conference room, the other elders hadn’t arrived yet, but they quickly gathered there. Upon seeing Qian Jiang, they immediately bowed. Once everyone was present, Qian Jiang addressed them, saying, “I’ve called you all here today to discuss the Wu Gou Sect.”
Everyone was taken aback, their eyes fixed on Qian Jiang. He continued, “This time, the Wu Gou Sect’s downfall was likely the work of the Yang family.” The crowd was stunned again, but their expressions changed drastically. They knew about their previous attempt to enlist the Wu Gou Sect’s help against Yang Qingyu, and they knew it had failed. They hadn’t expected the Yang family to identify their target so quickly and eliminate the Wu Gou Sect so decisively.
Qian Jiang looked at everyone’s expressions and then told them what the elder had told him earlier. After hearing Qian Jiang’s words, everyone’s faces darkened. One elder said, “So it seems that this was done by the Yang family. And the fact that the Yang family sent someone to say those things means that they also know that the Qian family is behind this. Are they warning us?”
