Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16211

Chapter 16209 Revenge

Does the Earth Escape Technique have no advantages? Yes, it does. If one masters the Earth Escape Technique, while the speed remains slow, the concealment becomes significantly better. Furthermore, attacking someone using the Earth Escape Technique with ordinary spells becomes much more difficult.

A typical Earth Escape Technique can only penetrate a few feet underground, at most about ten feet. At this distance, breaking the Earth Escape Technique is quite easy; spells like Earth Shaking and Quicksand can break it, and might even trap the user.

However, once the Earth Escape Technique is mastered, the situation changes completely. While the speed of the Earth Escape Technique is still slow, attacking it with ordinary spells becomes virtually impossible.

If someone skilled in earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a technique used to burrow underground) were to enter the Temple of Creation from underground, then use sleeping pills to knock everyone inside unconscious before killing them, it would indeed be possible. Moreover, it would be difficult to detect outside the Temple of Creation, because once the earth-遁术 is mastered, its concealment greatly increases. Therefore, if someone were to use earth-遁术 to enter the Temple of Creation and kill someone, it would indeed be possible.

The cult leader said in a deep voice, “Don’t we already have night watchmen in our temples? Not only are there night watchmen, but also visible and hidden sentries. If someone really uses earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic used in Chinese mythology) to enter the temple, shouldn’t the night watchmen detect them?”

A bishop shook his head and said, “It’s really unlikely. What if someone using earth-遁术 appears directly in the room? Then it will be difficult to find them. And those skilled in using sleeping potions can make the potions float directly into each room. In that case, we will still be affected and we won’t be able to find them.”

The cult leader nodded, then frowned and said, “Then what methods do you have?”

A bishop said, “We can have the people in each temple…” “We’ll divide them into two groups. One group will rest during the day and keep watch at night, while the other group will rest at night and work normally during the day. We’ll also arrange for everyone to be in pairs, one resting during the day and the other at night. This way, we can ensure that at least one person is always awake. If the enemy really uses earth-遁术 (a type of magic similar to burrowing underground), we can guarantee we’ll detect them immediately.”

The cult leader was taken aback. He hadn’t expected the bishop to suggest such a simple method. He nodded and said, “That is indeed a good method. We can try it. By the way, have you heard anything about the people monitoring the Zhang and Hua families?”

One bishop shook his head and said, “No, we haven’t seen any unusual activity from the Zhang and Hua

families.” “Even if they were the ones who did it, they would have already sent out their people. Of course, there won’t be any unusual activity now. Continue monitoring them, but don’t let them discover it.” Everyone responded, and then the cult leader waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

Qingmu City is a relatively large city in the Divine Kingdom, renowned for its medicinal herbs. This is because the city is backed by a massive mountain range called Qingmu Ridge. Although called a ridge, the mountain is indeed enormous, a truly massive mountain range. Most importantly, the climate within this mountain range is exceptionally favorable, resulting in a wealth of spiritual herbs. Qingmu City is large and has a city lord. However, within Qingmu City, there is a force that no one dares to provoke: the Zhang family.

The Zhang family is a famous and powerful clan throughout the entire Divine Kingdom. Their strength is formidable, and they are highly skilled in the use of poisons, making them a force to be reckoned with.

Of course, the pills produced by the Zhang family are also of extremely high quality. With both superior pills and fearsome poisons, the Zhang family has been able to grow so rapidly. In Qingmu City, there’s even a saying that the Zhang family owns almost half the city, meaning their businesses practically control half of the city.

The current head of the Zhang family is named Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren is incredibly powerful, having already reached the Kingdom level. His mastery of poisons is unparalleled. He not only knows how to poison and detoxify, but he also possesses a unique poison technique—the ability to fuse poison into his own body. If he so chooses, everything on his body can be poisonous, even his breath, and highly toxic at that. This is precisely what makes the Zhang family so troublesome; you never know when you might unknowingly be poisoned by them.

Zhang Ren appears to be around sixty years old, but his hair is still thick and black, and he sports a long beard, giving him a very energetic appearance.

Zhang Renzheng looked at the person standing in front of him with a smile and said, “So, another Creation Temple has been slaughtered?”

The man nodded and said, “Yes, Patriarch, another Creation Temple has been slaughtered. The Creation Sect still hasn’t found the culprit.”

“Hahahaha, good, the Creation Sect has finally met its match. I wonder who did it. In the previous battle between the Creation Sect and the Myriad Laws Sect, the Creation Sect suffered a lot of losses. Now their temples have been attacked one after another. Their days are probably numbered.”

Just then, a knock came at the door. Zhang Renzheng immediately said, “Come in.”

A person immediately pushed open the door and walked in. The person bowed to Zhang Renzheng and said, “Patriarch, I just received news that the family’s pharmacy in the east of the city has been murdered. Everyone in the pharmacy is dead, not a single survivor.”

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Ren was stunned. His expression changed drastically, and he immediately asked, “What happened?”

The man replied, “Reporting to Master, it was just discovered. We don’t know who did it. Today, when the family disciples were patrolling outside, they noticed that the pharmacy was closed. They went to check and found that everyone in the shop was dead—five people in total, not a single survivor.”

Zhang Ren said in a deep voice, “Investigate! Investigate immediately! I want to see who dares to lay a hand on our Zhang family.”

Hearing Zhang Ren’s words, the man quickly agreed and left the room. The smile on his face had vanished, replaced by a murderous aura. In Qingmu City, no one had dared to touch the Zhang family for a long time. This time, not only had someone attacked their family, but they had also wiped out one of their shops. This was like pulling teeth from a tiger’s mouth; how could he not be furious?

The man who had reported to Zhang Ren stood there obediently, not daring to move. Zhang Ren glanced at him and then said, “You can go now. Keep an eye on the Creation God Sect and see what else they do.” The man acknowledged, bowed to Zhang Ren, and turned to leave. After the man

left, Zhang Ren sat there with a gloomy expression. He was genuinely angry. He couldn’t fathom who had the audacity to dare to harm the Zhang family in Qingmu City.

However, Zhang Ren believed that whoever it was, news would soon arrive. He had confidence in the Zhang family, especially in Qingmu City. For them, investigating anything was incredibly easy.

Sure enough, less than an hour later, a man arrived at Zhang Ren’s study. The man bowed to Zhang Ren and said, “Master, we’ve investigated. Everyone in that shop was murdered, their throats slit. The method of death is the same as that of the Creation God Cult.”

Zhang Ren was taken aback, then his expression changed. He continued, “Those people are targeting our Zhang family? Investigate carefully. See if any suspicious individuals have entered Qingmu City in the past few days.”

The man said, “Master, we’ve also discovered something else. We’ve found members of the Creation God Cult in the city.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ren was stunned, then his face… His expression changed involuntarily. He knew that there was no Temple of Creation in Qingmu City. This was because the Creation Cult had a grudge against the Zhang family, and thus, no Temple of Creation had ever existed in Qingmu City. It wasn’t that the Creation Cult hadn’t considered building a temple there, but no one would grant them land. Even when they bought land from others, they couldn’t build their temple. The Creation Cult had even considered buying rooms from others and converting them into temples, but that didn’t work either. Anyone from the Creation Cult who stayed in the city for a while would fall ill. After several deaths, the Creation Cult finally gave up and stopped sending people there. It could be said that Qingmu City was a forbidden area for the Creation Cult.

Now that the Creation God Cult had actually appeared in the city, how could Zhang Ren not be surprised? He immediately asked, “How long have those Creation God Cult members been here?”

The man replied, “According to our information, they’ve been here for at least five days. These people came to the city as rogue cultivators and are scattered around the outskirts of the clan, seemingly monitoring us.”

Zhang Ren sneered, “Monitoring us? What do they want? Do they think we’re responsible for their deaths? What a joke! Investigate and see if the deaths of our clan members are related to those Creation God Cult members.”

The man said, “We’ve already investigated according to the clan leader’s instructions. On the surface, there seems to be no connection, but those people hide in their rooms at night and don’t go out. Nobody knows what they do in their rooms, or even if they go out at all. We can’t be sure about this yet.”

“So, it’s possible they did it? Go, kill them. But don’t do it during the day, do it tonight. Regardless of whether it’s them or not, anyone from the Creation God Sect who dares to appear in Qingmu City must die.” The man responded, bowed to Zhang Ren, and then left the room.

Once the man was out, a murderous aura appeared on Zhang Ren’s face. He coldly snorted, “Good, so the Creation God Sect has actually set their sights on us. I’d like to see how many of you are enough to die.”

Zhang Ren wouldn’t be polite to the Creation God Sect. They already had a grudge against them, and now they certainly wouldn’t hold back. Anyone from the Creation God Sect who dared to enter Qingmu City must die. This was a rule established by their Zhang family years ago, and he wouldn’t allow anyone to break it now. (End of Chapter)
