Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16320
Chapter 16318: The Capture
The Blood Slaughter Sect was unaware of the Ironclad Sect’s actions. After all, few knew about this matter to begin with, and the Blood Slaughter Sect hadn’t suspected Li Youfu at the time. Li Youfu’s abilities helped them, and his acting was so convincing that the newly joined rogue cultivators hadn’t questioned his identity. Therefore, they were completely unaware that the Ironclad Sect was already suspecting the Myriad Beasts Sect; they still thought their conflict with the Myriad Beasts Sect was over.
Although the Blood Slaughter Sect had left some surveillance devices on the Three Mountains Sword, these couldn’t be used lightly. Kingdom-level experts like Qingxuan and his group had extremely keen senses. They could sense even a whisper, let alone being watched. Because of this, the Blood Slaughter Sect couldn’t constantly monitor Qingxuan and his group, and naturally, they were unaware of what Tie Huanshan and his companions were saying.
The Beast Sect did indeed discover some rogue cultivators gathering information, but these cultivators were still at Beast Mountain, under the constant surveillance of the Blood Slaughter Sect, waiting to be turned into undead tonight. They were completely unaware that they were already under suspicion, and that the Ironclad Sect had begun targeting them.
Meanwhile, the Ironclad Sect had also made arrangements. They dispatched elite disciples, who didn’t go to the Beast Sect’s headquarters but instead lay in ambush around the Beast Sect’s main hall. Other elite disciples were also stationed in the Beast Sect’s various markets, waiting for Beast Sect disciples or rogue cultivators to emerge.
The Blood Slaughter Sect, unaware of the suspicion surrounding the Beast Sect, did something similar: they sent rogue cultivators from the Beast Sect’s main hall to other sects’ markets or headquarters to gather intelligence.
Of course, they couldn’t send out too many people at once. Although rogue cultivators do move around, many of them don’t wander off easily. So even if they were to move, they would only send a small number of people, and these people wouldn’t all leave in one day, but in batches, a few each day, to avoid arousing suspicion.
Liu Qing is a rogue cultivator from the Myriad Beasts Sect. He has received orders to leave the sect’s headquarters tomorrow to infiltrate the Ironclad Sect’s headquarters. There are many rogue cultivators like him who stay in a lower-level sect for a while, hoping for a better life, and then move to a larger sect. Rogue cultivators have more opportunities living in larger sects, so many are willing to go there. Therefore, no one will suspect him if he goes to live in the Ironclad Sect, and since he’s just going there to live, he doesn’t need to gather information, so he won’t be in any danger.
Nothing eventful happened that night. Dealing with the rogue cultivators who had infiltrated the Myriad Beasts Sect was handled by people specifically tasked with it, so Liu Qing had a good night’s rest. Early the next morning, he finished preparing and went directly to the teleportation array. He used it to travel to a market town under the Myriad Beasts Sect’s jurisdiction. From there, he immediately used another teleportation array to travel to a market town of the Ironclad Sect. Once there, he used another teleportation array to travel directly to the Ironclad Sect’s main hall, which also had a residential area for rogue cultivators. After arriving
at the Ironclad Sect’s main hall, Liu Qing surveyed his surroundings before heading inside. He found an inn and checked in. Unbeknownst to him, his presence had already reached the Ironclad Sect by the time he entered the inn.
Liu Qing traveled from the main hall of the Myriad Beasts Sect to its market via a teleportation array. The Ironclad Sect disciples already knew this, and some of them had been keeping watch near the teleportation array in the market. Of course, they weren’t constantly watching; they disguised themselves as independent cultivators, drinking or doing other things near the array while keeping an eye on it. Therefore, when Liu Qing arrived at the market via teleportation, he was already being watched by the Ironclad Sect disciples.
Don’t assume that just because you’ve teleported to another place, the receiving teleportation array will reveal where you came from. That’s impossible. Anyone with knowledge can immediately tell where you came from. The disciples the Ironclad Sect sent this time were specifically for this purpose, so they immediately recognized that Liu Qing had come from the main hall of the Myriad Beasts Sect.
The Ironclad Sect was the leader of this region, possessing the coordinates of all the sects’ teleportation arrays. They had all the teleportation array coordinates. When Liu Qing used the teleportation array from the Beasts Sect’s headquarters to the market’s teleportation array, a coordinate would appear on the array. The Ironclad Sect disciples, using that coordinate, would know where Liu Qing came from. Upon discovering Liu Qing came from the Beasts Sect’s headquarters, they immediately kept an eye on him. Then, seeing Liu Qing use the teleportation array to go to one of their Ironclad Sect’s markets, they immediately used their own teleportation arrays to follow him to that market. After arriving at the market, they immediately found the disciple in charge of the teleportation array, showed him their identification tokens, and asked where Liu Qing had gone. The disciple immediately told them that Liu Qing had gone to the Ironclad Sect’s main hall. Upon hearing this, the disciple immediately returned to the Ironclad Sect via the teleportation array. They then went directly to the Loose Cultivator Management Office and told them about the incident. The management office immediately contacted the person in charge of the teleportation array in the Loose Cultivator settlement area and asked if Liu Qing had arrived. They received an affirmative answer and then immediately inquired about Liu Qing’s whereabouts.
Liu Qing was a new face, and after arriving here, a few people would remember him. Therefore, the Ironclad Sect members quickly found Liu Qing’s residence, and Liu Qing had only just settled into his room.
This was Ironclad Sect territory, so the Ironclad Sect members acted even more recklessly. So, after the Ironclad Sect members found out Liu Qing’s residence, they immediately surrounded him.
Liu Qing was unaware that he was being watched, so he wasn’t on high alert. He had just settled down in his room when suddenly the window and door were kicked open at the same time. Liu Qing was startled and immediately took out his magical artifact, a flying sword. As a result, several members of the Ironclad Sect rushed in and attacked him.
Upon seeing the actions of those people, Liu Qing’s expression changed. He swung his flying sword straight at them. One of the attackers flicked his sleeve, and with a clang, his flying sword was swept away. Liu Qing’s expression changed again, and he exclaimed, “Ironclad Sect?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ironclad Sect member moved and was already in front of him, reaching out to touch him. Liu Qing knew from the other party’s appearance that they wanted to subdue him. He was very clear that they were not capturing him just because he was a rogue cultivator, but because his identity had been exposed. However, he still wanted to know how much they knew, so he pretended to be unable to resist and was subdued by the Ironclad Sect disciple.
The Ironclad Sect disciple breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Liu Qing subdued, as did the other Ironclad Sect disciples who had rushed in with him. One disciple said, “Senior Brother Zhong, you were too fast! We didn’t even have time to react before you were done.”
Senior Brother Zhong smiled slightly and said, “Of course, you have to be quick at this point. Otherwise, if he reacts and commits suicide, wouldn’t we have to go through the trouble of soul-searching?”
Soul-searching was indeed troublesome. If they could get anything out of Liu Qing, they really didn’t want to do it. Liu Qing, having heard Senior Brother Zhong’s words, felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He immediately looked at Senior Brother Zhong and said, “Are you gentlemen from the Ironclad Sect? How could I have offended you? I’ve been working for the Myriad Beasts Sect and I don’t believe I’ve ever offended anyone from the Ironclad Sect. Have you mistaken me for someone else?” Senior
Brother Zhong looked at Liu Qing and then smiled slightly, saying, “If you know what’s good for you, come with us. When we get there, just answer whatever we ask. Don’t try anything funny. That way you’ll suffer less. Otherwise, if we really search your soul, you’re finished.”
Liu Qing pretended to be very frightened and immediately said, “Please rest assured, gentlemen… ” “I’ll tell you everything honestly, whatever you ask.”
Senior Brother Zhong nodded and said, “That’s good.” With that, he moved his hand, and a black garment appeared in his hand. He then draped the black garment over Liu Qing’s shoulders, and the next moment Liu Qing vanished. Senior Brother Zhong led the group out to the inn’s lobby, where he addressed the innkeeper, the staff, and the guests: “Remember, you know nothing. Nothing happened here, and no one has checked in. Understand?”
The innkeeper, the staff, and the guests all… They all depended on the Ironclad Sect for a living, so of course they wouldn’t disobey Senior Brother Zhong. They all nodded and said, “Yes, sir, we understand.” Senior
Brother Zhong nodded and then led the other Ironclad Sect members out, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The people in the inn breathed a sigh of relief after he left. Then the innkeeper immediately said to a waiter, “Go upstairs and take a look. A few days ago, a drunk guest broke the door and window of one of our rooms upstairs. We immediately got someone to fix it. Honestly, we’ve been asking you to fix it for days, and it’s still not done. If it’s not fixed soon, I’ll deduct your wages.”
