Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16038

Chapter 16036 Sneak Attack

Yunhai is a Kingdom-level expert from the Qingyun Sect, and his strength is considerable within the sect. This year, he is responsible for guarding the passage. After the Fengying Sect’s sneak attack, the Qingyun Sect established this hidden sentry post to monitor the passage. Although they haven’t detected any further attacks from the Fengying Sect since its establishment, no one agrees to remove it. They understand that if the sentry post is removed, they will be completely unprepared and unaware of the Fengying Sect’s arrival, resulting in significant losses.

Every year, the Qingyun Sect sends one Kingdom-level expert to guard this area, along with five other Kingdom-level experts from different sects. The reason for sending Kingdom-level experts is to ensure that ordinary disciples wouldn’t be able to detect enemies within the passage.

If the sent personnel weren’t kingdom-level experts, and someone actually managed to infiltrate their outpost, it would be extremely dangerous. They would have no chance of resistance. That’s why they sent kingdom-level experts to guard this place. Six kingdom-level experts are quite a lot. Even if the Wind Shadow Sect wanted to attack them, they would be detected, and the news could be relayed back to the Azure Cloud Sect immediately.

In Yun Hai’s opinion, this kind of guarding was rather pointless. They had set up surveillance arrays in the passage, which were more than capable of monitoring the passage. He didn’t believe anyone could bypass the surveillance arrays without being detected, because surveillance arrays are extremely sensitive to energy fluctuations. He didn’t believe anyone could completely hide energy fluctuations, not even kingdom-level experts like themselves.

Therefore, in Yun Hai’s view, this outpost was completely unnecessary. They were just going to stay here for a year, waiting for others to come and replace them, returning them to the sect.

Every Kingdom-level expert from the Qingyun Sect is stationed here. This decision was made by the older generation of Kingdom-level experts in the Qingyun Sect, and no one can change it now.

Their location is actually a meteorite in the void. This meteorite is enormous, its interior completely hollowed out to create several cave dwellings to ensure the survival of those stationed here. Each person has their own spacious room, complete with an alchemy room, weapon-forging room, meditation room, bedroom, and training ground—all included. There’s also a large common space where those stationed here can socialize; it’s like a large living room.

Yunhai sits in his alchemy room. He loves alchemy; he’s an alchemist. Although he’s already reached the Kingdom-level, he still enjoys it. He refines a batch of pills whenever he has free time. These pills aren’t for his own use, but for the Qingyun Sect. Even though he’s a Kingdom-level expert of the Qingyun Sect, he still wants to contribute to the sect.

In fact, some of the grand elders of major sects are not only used as the pillars of their sects, but they also contribute to the sects in their own ways. For example, some grand elders who are not good at alchemy or weapon crafting will give lectures to some core disciples of the sect every once in a while. This is why a sect values its core disciples so much, because core disciples are the most likely to become future kingdom-level experts. They can receive personal guidance from kingdom-level experts, and their chances of becoming kingdom-level experts are naturally much higher than those of ordinary disciples, since they can avoid many detours.

Yunhai was carefully observing the fire in the alchemy furnace, having reached the crucial moment of refining the pills. Suddenly, he felt a sense of unease. As a kingdom-level expert, his senses were incredibly sharp; those at his level possessed a beast-like intuition, especially regarding potential danger. So, the moment Yunhai felt this, his focus wavered, and the fire in the furnace was directly affected. With a bang, black smoke billowed from the furnace, ruining the entire batch of pills. The

pills he was refining were all top-grade, impossible for ordinary people to produce. But because of this interruption, his entire batch was ruined. Yunhai was furious. He abruptly stood up and stormed out of his room, wanting to see what had happened and who had disturbed his alchemy.

When Yunhai emerged from his room, he found that the people who had been guarding the furnace with him had also come out of their rooms, exchanging bewildered glances.

Upon seeing their expressions, Yunhai knew this matter had nothing to do with them. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked, “You felt it too?” These men already knew each other and had exchanged many words during their time on duty, so Yunhai didn’t stand on ceremony.

They all nodded, and one of them said, “I felt uneasy, so I came out to see what was going on. If you feel the same way, it means this matter is definitely not simple. Should we go check the monitoring array?”

Yunhai said in a deep voice, “Okay, let’s go check.” He then prepared to leave. Although the main control panel of the monitoring array was with them, they were worried that the array might malfunction or be damaged over time, so they wanted to check on it periodically.

Just then, a voice came from behind them: “No need to check, your monitoring array is fine.” This voice appeared very suddenly, and Yunhai and the others were all startled, because the voice didn’t come from any of them.

Just then, they felt an extremely dangerous sensation rush towards their backs. Their expressions changed instantly, and they immediately dodged to the side. However, two of them were too slow. The next moment, two thin sword tips emerged from their chests. These swords were peculiar; the tips were triangular. As the tips appeared, blood gushed from their chests. The two men lowered their heads, staring blankly at the sword tips. The next moment, the sword tips twisted and ripped apart, shredding their hearts. They coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, dead.

Although Yunhai and his group dodged quickly, they couldn’t completely evade the attack. Yunhai’s arm was pierced through by the thin sword. The other three, weaker than Yunhai, avoided vital organs, but the thin sword still pierced their right chests, causing blood to flow from them as well.

After being struck by a sword, Yunhai reacted immediately. With a wave of his hand, a cloud of azure mist enveloped the entire living room. This was a technique from the Qingyun Sect, called the Qingyun Technique. This technique was extremely powerful. While ordinary techniques were uncontrollable once released, the Qingyun Technique remained controllable, allowing for both defense and offense, much like a special magical artifact.

In fact, this technique was completely different from ordinary techniques; it required a medium to be used, which amplified its power and allowed it to be used like a magical artifact.

Yunhai released this technique to locate his enemy. They hadn’t seen the enemy before, but once the azure mist filled the room, he could find them. An enemy couldn’t truly disappear, so using this technique at this moment was most appropriate.

Just as he released Qingyun, he noticed several more people had appeared. With a thought, Qingyun transformed into tentacles, lashing out at the group.

The group, realizing they had been exposed, abandoned their pretense and revealed themselves. Several men dressed in black appeared before Yunhai and his companions, their tentacles easily severed by the men’s rapiers.

Yunhai recognized them; they were all short and ordinary-looking, but their aura startled him. He realized they were all Kingdom-level experts.

Yunhai looked at the group and said in a deep voice, “Are you from the Fengying Sect? Only the Fengying Sect would do such shady things.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Jin laughed loudly, “The Fengying Sect? We do have some connection with the Fengying Sect, but it’s not a very strong one. I know you want to send news from here back to your sect, but I think you’re wasting your time. It’s useless. This place has long been sealed off by us. You can’t send any news out. Considering your strength is not bad, you should surrender, and we might spare your lives. Otherwise, you’re doomed.”

Yunhai and the other three looked at Shi Jin and his group, their expressions becoming serious. Yunhai turned to look at the other three, who all shook their heads. They had secretly tried to send news back using the communication array, but they had all failed.

Yunhai’s face grew even uglier. He looked at Shi Jin and the others, then said in a deep voice, “Stop dreaming. It’s useless. No matter how many of you come, you can’t possibly be our match. You will definitely fail.”

Shi Jin looked at Yunhai and couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “No, you will be the ones who fail. You know nothing about strength. If you don’t want this opportunity, then we can only let you die. Are you prepared?”

As Shi Jin and the others spoke, their eyes remained fixed on Yunhai and his group. Seeing their expressions, Yunhai and the others felt their hearts sink. They suddenly realized that Shi Jin and the others were truly not worried at all, which meant that what they said might all be true. If what they said was all true, it meant they were really in trouble. The enemy they were facing this time might be even stronger than the Wind Shadow Sect. (End of Chapter)
