Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16158

Chapter 16156. In Destruction

Fang Weigang looked at the newly rebuilt Temple of Creation before him and breathed a sigh of relief. Recently, the Creation Sect had been under immense pressure. As the state religion, it had developed rapidly in recent years, but this also meant it had seized the interests of some sects. Although those sects, because of the state religion, hadn’t directly attacked the Creation Sect, they had secretly sabotaged it, which the Creation Sect had managed to resolve one by one. This time, the destruction of the temple was a huge blow to the Creation Sect, and those sects were watching with amusement. Therefore, they had to rebuild the destroyed temple as quickly as possible.

The Temple of Creation in Beast Town City was the first to be destroyed and the first to be rebuilt. Fang Weigang was very happy, considering it had only been a few days since the temple was destroyed. The fact that they had rebuilt it in such a short time was remarkable. Of course, this was also because he had received a strict order from above to rebuild the temple as quickly as possible, which explained his urgency. Now that the temple was rebuilt, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Fang Weigang immediately reported the news using the communication array. He then led the disciples of the Creation Sect into the newly built temple, which was larger than the original. Fang Weigang was confident that even those from higher up would have no problem appreciating its size.

That night, Fang Weigang was resting, but he hadn’t fallen asleep yet. He was still thinking about the next day, as he had just received news that people from above would be visiting the rebuilt temple. He needed to carefully consider how to receive them.

Just then, Fang Weigang suddenly sensed a green light in the sky. He was startled, then remembered the green flames, and his expression changed. He immediately tried to leave the room, but found he couldn’t move. A boundless rage rose within him, and then he knew nothing more.

The people of Zhenshou City, however, saw it clearly: a green flame fist descending from the sky had destroyed the newly rebuilt temple once more.

Kong Youwei, seeing this, was speechless. He immediately dispatched troops to surround the temple again and sent word to the prefectural city. Having done all this, Kong Youwei sat in his room waiting. Sure enough, less than an hour later, Military Advisor Liu arrived again. This time, Military Advisor Liu only glanced at the temple before coming to Kong Youwei’s residence. Kong Youwei had intended to greet him, and upon seeing him, he immediately bowed to Military Advisor Liu.

Liu, the military advisor, returned the greeting, and the two went to Kong Youwei’s study. After they sat down, Liu, his face grim, asked, “What exactly happened? Why were we attacked again?”

Kong Youwei smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t know either. It seems the other side didn’t want the temple of the Creation God Cult to be built. On the very night their temple was completed, it was destroyed. This time, there were no assassins, just a green flame fist that destroyed the temple in one punch. Not a single person inside escaped, and the punch came incredibly fast; we didn’t even have time to react.”

Liu, the military advisor, fell silent after hearing Kong Youwei’s words. After a while, he sighed softly and said, “These past few days, several temples of the Creation God Cult have been destroyed. It seems the other side is targeting the Creation God Cult. I heard the Creation God Cult has sent experts to investigate this matter. Hopefully, it can be resolved quickly.”

Kong Youwei nodded, then smiled bitterly and said, “To be honest, I don’t know what to say right now…” “Well, we don’t know who the other party is, but we can be sure that their strength is extremely formidable. I could feel the power of that green flame fist; I couldn’t withstand it.”

Upon hearing Kong Youwei’s words, Liu Canjun shook his head and said, “Don’t even mention you, no one else could withstand that punch either. In the other destroyed temples, there were kingdom-level experts, but when the temples were destroyed, they couldn’t even put up a fight. Not a single person came out of the temple; they were all killed with a single punch.”

Kong Youwei was stunned upon hearing this, then frowned and said, “In our entire divine kingdom, who has such strength? I’ve never even heard of it.”

Liu Canjun shook his head and said, “No one. I can’t think of anyone. Forget it, I feel that this matter is probably beyond our control now. We can only report it and leave it to others.”

Kong Youwei agreed, and the two chatted for a while longer before Kong Youwei arranged for Liu Canjun to rest. The next morning, the people from the Creation God Sect arrived again. This time, the leader was still a Taoist priest, but this priest was far stronger than Fang Weigang. Although both were at the Kingdom level, Fang Weigang was no match for this priest. The priest stood there with a grim expression, looking at the destroyed temple, lost in thought.

Liu Canjun seemed to recognize the priest. Upon seeing him, he immediately went to greet him and said, “Taoist Priest Ge, you actually came in person?”

The priest turned to look at Liu Canjun, returned the greeting, and said, “With such a big incident, how could I not come?”

Liu Canjun nodded and then said to Kong Youwei, “City Lord Kong, this is the head of the Creation God Temple in the prefectural city, Taoist Priest Ge Junheng. Taoist Priest Ge, this is Kong Youwei, the city lord of Beast Suppression City.”

Ge Junheng bowed to Kong Youwei, who quickly returned the bow. Kong Youwei then said to Ge Junheng, “Master Ge, how about we come to my residence for a visit?”

Ge Junheng nodded and followed Liu Canjun and Kong Youwei to Kong Youwei’s residence. The three sat down in the living room, and servants immediately brought tea. After taking a sip, Ge Junheng spoke, “This is the second time the Beast Suppression City Temple has been attacked. It seems they don’t want our new temple to be rebuilt.”

Kong Youwei and Liu Canjun both nodded. Liu Canjun said, “I heard that a few days ago…” “Heavens! Five temples were attacked on the same night, and these five temples are quite far apart. Is it really true?”

Ge Junheng nodded with a grim expression. “It’s true, all of it is true. We’re very curious about who attacked us. Was it one person or an organization? But it seems to be an organization. They must have used some special technique or magical artifact, otherwise it would be impossible to do this.”

Kong Youwei and Liu Canjun both nodded. Ge Junheng said, “We must find this organization and eradicate them completely.” “Lord Kong, have you had any leads these past few days?”

Kong Youwei frowned and shook his head. “No, we have no leads. We’ve been investigating those rogue cultivators who attacked the Temple of Creation the first time, but we found out they teleported here from somewhere, and they arrived as a group without any lodging in the city. Apart from someone at a tavern who saw them, no one else really paid them any attention. We checked the tavern owner; he’s a rogue cultivator who’s spent his whole life in Beast Town. He opened the tavern in his old age, and it’s not far from the temple. That’s probably why they chose that tavern. And they’re all dead. We can’t find anything.”

Upon hearing this, Ge Junheng frowned and asked, “Did those people say anything?”

Kong Youwei shook his head. “No, they used soundproofing when they spoke. No one heard what they said. We only know they dressed as rogue cultivators, and they looked like rogue cultivators. Other than that, we really can’t tell anything.”

Upon hearing Kong Youwei’s words, Ge Junheng frowned and asked, “Are the people in that tavern really alright?”

Kong Youwei gave a wry smile and said, “They’re really alright. The tavern owner has been living in this city his whole life, and the waiters are all just ordinary rogue cultivators. They’re barely making ends meet by running that tavern, and they all have connections. They really have nothing to do with those people.”

Ge Junheng simply nodded without saying anything more. At this moment, Liu Canjun spoke up, “Have you inquired with the Shadow Guards about it?” “What news? Did they receive any news?”

Kong Youwei nodded and said, “They inquired, but didn’t get any reply. The Shadow Guards said they were investigating another matter before, so their attention was somewhat diverted. They’re investigating this matter now, but so far they haven’t found any clues.”

Liu Canjun frowned and asked, “Do you know what the Shadow Guards are investigating?”

Kong Youwei nodded, then smiled bitterly and said, “Yes, there’s a village outside the city that was subjected to a blood sacrifice. The Shadow Guards investigated, and it seems someone has refined the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, but…” There are no clues. What’s certain now is that the person who did this has already fled the Beast Town area, making it very difficult to track them down. However, they’ve now focused their attention on this matter, just without any leads yet.”

Hearing this, Liu Canjun fell silent. Ge Junheng said in a deep voice, “The other side was prepared; they came specifically for us. Of course, they won’t leave any clues. I don’t think the Shadow Guards will have much of a chance to find anything. Forget it, we’ll have to handle this ourselves.” With that, Ge Junheng stood up and continued… He said to Kong Youwei and Liu Canjun, “I must go back and report this matter. I’ll take my leave now.”

Kong Youwei and Liu Canjun both nodded, stood up, and saw Ge Junheng out. After they saw Ge Junheng out, Liu Canjun turned to Kong Youwei and said, “I must also go back. I must report what happened here. I’ll take my leave now.” After saying this, he also bowed to Kong Youwei, then turned and left. Kong Youwei returned the bow and saw him to the teleportation array. The two bowed to each other again before Liu Canjun left.
