Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16156

Chapter 16154 Investigation

The two jade slips that Kong Youwei released through the communication array were both purposeful. The first jade slip was sent to his superior, the city lord of the prefecture. However, although the jade slip had reached the city lord, it was unknown when he would read it. Therefore, he sent someone to personally take the jade slip to the city lord to report. This was a double guarantee; he wanted the city lord to know that he had done this.

The second jade slip released through the communication array was sent back to the Kong family. He was a disciple of the Kong family, and all Kong family disciples serving as officials outside the family were required to report to the family on any matters. This was extremely important; this was how those powerful families obtained intelligence.

After dealing with these matters, Kong Youwei inspected the city again and, finding nothing amiss, returned to rest. He knew that someone would come to check the situation tomorrow, or even soon. The prefectural government, upon receiving his message, would certainly send someone to investigate; they might arrive very soon. As for those coming tomorrow, they would likely be from the Creation God Cult. With their temple destroyed, the Creation God Cult couldn’t possibly leave without sending someone. The reason they hadn’t sent anyone today was because the city’s teleportation array was closed at night, but they would definitely come tomorrow.

Kong Youwei needed to be well-rested to handle these matters. He had also made arrangements in the city, dispatching a team to completely seal off the Creation God Temple to prevent any trouble when someone came to investigate.

Sure enough, less than an hour after Kong Youwei went to rest, he heard footsteps outside the door, followed by knocking. Kong Youwei immediately came out of the room and said, “Come in.” A servant entered, bowed, and said, “Master, someone from the prefectural city has arrived.”

Kong Youwei nodded and immediately went outside, asking, “Where are they?”

The servant followed him, replying, “Reporting to Master, they’re at the Temple of Creation.”

Kong Youwei nodded, and after leaving the room, he flew away, quickly arriving at the Temple of Creation. Upon arriving, he saw his men, whom he had sent to the prefectural city, accompanying several others, inspecting the area. However, they did not enter the area inhabited by the Temple of Creation.

Kong Youwei immediately descended from the sky. The people from the prefectural city turned to look at him. Kong Youwei, seeing the leader, immediately bowed and said, “So it’s Military Advisor Liu. How have you been, Military Advisor Liu?” Military

Advisor Liu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Kong Youwei, his expression somewhat grave, and said, “Lord Kong, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. What exactly happened?”

Kong Youwei glanced at the situation, then couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said, “Military Advisor Liu, we don’t know what happened either. Everything was normal today, but at Hai hour (9-11 PM), some assassins suddenly appeared and attacked the Temple of Creation. Their attack power was very strong. Although the people of the Temple of Creation resisted, many were still killed.” After receiving the news, I immediately dispatched troops to help. But at that moment, a golden light suddenly shot into the sky from the Temple of Creation. The instant the golden light appeared, a fist composed of green flames suddenly appeared in the sky. This fist struck the golden light directly, and the golden light vanished the next moment. The fist then fell to the ground and disappeared. None of the assassins survived; after death, they turned into a ball of green flame and then disappeared. What happened? I still don’t understand.”

Upon hearing Kong Youwei’s words, Military Advisor Liu frowned and said, “You really didn’t find anything?”

Kong Youwei shook his head and said, “I investigated…” “When we got to those assassins, we discovered they had all entered the city that day. After entering, they didn’t find lodging; they just went to a tavern and drank, looking like ordinary wandering cultivators. They drank until very late, then left the tavern. At Hai hour (9-11 PM), they launched their attack on the Creation God Sect. As for the green flame fist, there’s no way to investigate it. When the green flame fist attacked the Creation God Temple, the city’s defensive array didn’t react at all. I really can’t find anything.”

Upon hearing Kong Youwei’s words, Liu Canjun frowned and said, “So, this matter is specifically aimed at the Creation God Sect?”

Kong Youwei nodded and said, “Yes, this matter is specifically aimed at the Creation God Sect…” “As you know, the Creation God Cult in our city doesn’t have many members, nor is it very strong. But the assassins who attacked this time are incredibly powerful. Most importantly, they truly are suicide soldiers; not a single one was left alive. Those who were wounded all committed suicide. To be honest, such assassins are truly rare.”

Liu Canjun’s expression grew serious. He looked at the large crater near the Creation God Temple and then asked, “Is there really no way to get close?”

Kong Youwei shook his head. “There’s no way to get close. Once you enter the perimeter, they immediately go berserk, attacking everyone around them. Even after leaving the perimeter, it takes a long time for them to recover. They’re extremely difficult to deal with.”

Liu Canjun asked Kong Youwei, “How strong do they work against?”

Kong Youwei said, “As far as we know, it’s effective against experts at the Royal Palace level. I dare not let anyone higher in; if they go berserk, their destructive power is too great. However, the stronger the person, the faster they recover after coming out. Royal Palace level cultivators recover in about fifteen minutes, but those from the Throne City might need about half an hour.”

Liu Canjun frowned and said, “This is the first time we’ve encountered something like this, so the Prefect sent me to see what’s going on. It seems like this is a targeted attack on the Creation God Sect.” “This is the first time I’ve encountered something like this,”

Kong Youwei nodded. “Indeed, it’s the first time I’ve heard of this either. Liu, you’ve looked around enough, why don’t you come to my residence for a while?”

Liu glanced around again, but couldn’t see anything, so he nodded and followed Kong Youwei to his residence. Kong Youwei wanted to entertain him, but Liu said he needed to rest and asked Kong Youwei to arrange a room for him. Kong Youwei immediately arranged a room for him, and also arranged accommodations for everyone who came with Liu before he went to rest himself.

After returning to his room, Liu immediately wrote to the prefectural government, explaining the situation. He planned to investigate further the next day and rest for the day.

After returning to his room, Kong Youwei received a reply from the Kong family. The reply was very brief, instructing him to continue monitoring the matter and see what the people in the prefectural government could find out.

Kong Youwei didn’t say anything about it. The Kong family was a large clan, and this attack targeted the Creation God Sect, which had nothing to do with them. It was already good enough that the Kong family paid attention to the matter; there was no need for them to get too involved.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Beast Town City was sealed off, but only ordinary people were prevented from leaving; the teleportation array was opened.

As Kong Youwei expected, as soon as the teleportation array opened, members of the Creation God Sect arrived in Beast Town City. Kong Youwei immediately received the news. Because the Creation God Sect was the state religion, Kong Youwei didn’t make things difficult for them. Instead, he ordered his people to investigate freely, showing them considerable respect.

Liu Canjun followed his men out and began investigating the matter. However, everyone in Zhenshou City was now from the Blood Slaughter Sect, and they already knew what to say. So, they all recounted what they knew. Those who were closer described it vividly, as if they had witnessed it firsthand, while those farther away only said they saw a giant fist engulfed in green flames and heard a loud bang, nothing more.

Liu Canjun and his men didn’t find anything conclusive; at most, they could only confirm that Kong Youwei’s account was true. After clarifying the situation, Liu Canjun immediately reported it to the authorities.

Meanwhile, the people from the Creation God Sect were also investigating the matter. After their investigation, they conducted their own experiments, sending people into the area. Those who entered indeed went mad. They tested this up to the Royal Palace level, finding that everyone who entered went berserk. They also sent one person into the Royal City level; that person could remain conscious for a while, but quickly lost control and had to retreat. However, he brought back a message: anyone entering that area would become enraged, a deep, escalating anger. Without prior preparation, they might also go berserk, and even after retreating, the anger would linger for a long time.

Faced with this situation, the Creation God Sect felt it was a difficult situation and immediately reported it. After reporting, they stayed in the city awaiting news. That evening, Kong Youwei invited Liu Canjun and a Taoist priest leading the Creation God Sect team to his study.

Because the Temple of Creation was the state religion, a semi-official organization, Kong Youwei treated them with great courtesy. Therefore, inviting the Taoist priest to his residence was quite normal.

Once the two were in his study, Kong Youwei clasped his hands in greeting and said, “Military Advisor Liu, Taoist Priest Fang, I’ve invited you here today to discuss matters concerning Beast Suppression City. The city has been under lockdown for a day; this cannot continue. I intend to lift the lockdown tomorrow. What do you two think?”
