Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16427
Chapter 16425. Discovery
Meanwhile, Wu Qian was processing documents in his room, but he was somewhat distracted. He was already a member of the Blood Slaughter Sect, so he knew more than others. He knew the Blood Slaughter Sect would be taking action today, and their target was Wuwei City. He was eager to know the outcome there.
Just then, a very urgent knocking sounded at the door. Wu Qian was startled, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately said, “Come in.” The door was immediately pushed open, and a man entered. The man’s face was grim. He looked at Wu Qian and said, “General, something has happened. Some of the people in the base who believed in the Creation God Cult have suddenly all died.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Qian’s expression changed. He immediately stood up and said, “Tell me in detail what happened. Someone, go and send letters to all the bases, asking them how things are going there.”
Someone immediately responded and turned to leave. The messenger then continued to Wu Qian, “General, just now…” Those who joined the Creation God Cult suddenly screamed and then all turned into black smoke and disappeared. No one knew what happened, and no one attacked them; they just died suddenly.
Upon hearing this, Wu Qian immediately said, “Okay, I understand. You can go down now and see how many people died this time. Also, reassure the people below and tell them not to be nervous.”
The man responded and turned to leave. Only after the man left did Wu Qian’s expression relax. Of course, he knew what had happened. Wuwei City must have succeeded, otherwise such a thing wouldn’t have happened. But what he was more curious about was what Wuwei City had done and why this had occurred.
Just then, the man who had gone out to contact the various bases returned. He bowed to Wu Qian and said, “General, I’ve contacted the other bases. Except for Wuwei City, all the other bases say they’re fine. I can’t reach Wuwei City.”
Wu Qian immediately said, “Something must have happened in Wuwei City. Send a message to the other bases, telling them to go and support Wuwei City immediately.”
The man acknowledged and left. Wu Qian then said, “Someone, go and invite General Wu here.” Someone immediately responded and turned to leave.
A moment later, a cultivator who looked to be in his forties, not very tall but very strong, wearing a suit of armor, walked in. He bowed to Wu Qian and said, “General, you wanted to see me?”
Wu Qian nodded and said, “Go back immediately, take five hundred kingdom-level experts and five million cultivators, and go to Wuwei City. Something has happened there. Remember, be quick.”
General Wu’s expression changed, then he responded and immediately turned to leave. Wu Qian watched General Wu’s retreating figure, a smile appearing on his face. This General Wu was not a member of the Blood Slaughter Sect and was not on his side, but he was someone Wu Qian had personally promoted and was very loyal to him. However, he had been in charge of the army in other places before being transferred to the front lines. Wu Qian hadn’t had a chance to turn him into one of his own. Perfect, with this mission, he would let him complete it. Since he wasn’t a member of the Blood Slaughter Sect, his reaction would be the most genuine, and no one would be able to see anything wrong.
General Wu quickly mustered his troops. Since they were on the front lines, they needed to be ready for battle at any moment. Furthermore, all of them were soldiers, so gathering the troops didn’t take long.
General Wu had also tried the teleportation array, but it didn’t work. So, after gathering his troops, he flew directly towards Wuwei City. They weren’t far from Wuwei City. Wuwei City, Huyang City, and Yuxu Sect were the three bases General Li had chosen for mutual support, so they weren’t far apart—only a little over a thousand li in total. Such a distance was nothing to them.
However, when they were about three hundred li away from Wuwei City, General Wu suddenly noticed something was wrong. They seemed to be flying forward, but after quite some time, they still hadn’t seen Wuwei City. This was definitely abnormal.
At their flight speed, if they had truly continued flying forward, they should be almost over Wuwei City by now. If something had really happened in Wuwei City, they should have already seen the Blood Slaughter Sect’s Creation Golden Wheel, and perhaps even heard the sounds of their battle. But now there was nothing. They kept flying forward, but there was nothing around them—no Wuwei City, no sounds of battle, not even a wisp of wind.
General Wu waved his hand, and everyone stopped. He glanced around and then said, “Something’s not right. We’ve been flying for so long; we should be over Wuwei City by now. But why is there nothing here? Where is Wuwei City?”
Everyone was stunned when they heard him say this. Then they realized what was happening. They looked around but found nothing, which made their expressions change. They finally realized that something was wrong.
Just then, a cultivator spoke up, “General, either we’re already inside the illusion array, or Wuwei City is blocked by it.”
General Wu nodded, then shouted, “Everyone, listen to my command! Attack together! Three, two, one, attack!” Everyone unleashed their magical artifacts and charged forward.
The next moment, they felt the surrounding space distort, and several Creation Golden Wheels appeared. However, those wheels seemed to realize they had been exposed and flew away immediately.
General Wu said with a grim expression, “Quickly, fly forward! Get to Wuwei City as fast as you can!” Everyone responded and increased their speed. After flying for a while, everyone sensed something was wrong. Logically, they should have already reached the skies above Wuwei City, but they found nothing. How could they not be surprised? They all looked around, their speed unconsciously slowing down.
General Wu looked around for a while before speaking: “Everyone, listen to my command, attack forward together, three, two, one, fire!” With his voice, everyone attacked forward again, but this time there was no reaction from the surroundings, no enemies, and no Creation Golden Wheel.
General Wu’s expression changed again. He carefully looked around and then shouted, “Map!” Someone immediately responded and flew to General Wu’s side. With a flick of their hand, a large map unfolded. General Wu carefully examined his surroundings, then glanced at the map. His expression changed again, and he said, “We’ve flown past it. Wuwei City should be behind us.”
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. They immediately turned to look behind them, but found nothing; Wuwei City was nowhere to be seen. However, they quickly understood what was happening. A cultivator said, “Illusion array.”
General Wu nodded. Just as he was about to order the army to turn around, a group of people suddenly appeared in the distant sky. General Wu was startled, then immediately shouted, “Alert!” Everyone tensed up, ready for battle.
The enemy also spotted them and slowed down. The two sides slowly approached, and when they could finally see each other, they were all stunned, because they recognized the enemy as their own.
Upon seeing the leader of the opposing force, General Wu immediately asked, “Elder Liu, are you also going to support Wuwei City?”
Hearing this, a man flew out from the opposing group, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, “It’s General Wu! Yes, we’re also here to support Wuwei City.”
General Wu smiled wryly and said, “We’ve already flown past it; Wuwei City is behind us.”
Elder Liu was taken aback, then turned his head in confusion and said, “That’s not right. We just flew over there…that…” He suddenly stopped, then said, “I understand, an illusion array.”
General Wu nodded and said, “Yes, an illusion array. Let’s go back.”
This time, Elder Liu didn’t say anything more, directly calling his team to fly back with him. They had sent a considerable number of people this time, though not as many as General Wu’s, but it looked to be around a million.
This time, General Wu was more cautious. As he flew forward, he carefully observed the surrounding terrain. A moment later, he waved his hand and shouted, “Stop!” Everyone stopped, including Elder Liu and the others.
Elder Liu looked at General Wu, somewhat puzzled, and asked, “General Wu, what’s wrong?”
General Wu glanced around and then said, “This should be Wuwei City, but look around.” Elder Liu turned to look around; all around were trees, and Wuwei City was nowhere to be seen.
Elder Liu’s expression changed, and he immediately asked, “General Wu, are you sure?”
General Wu said in a deep voice, “Yes, I’m sure. This is the place. Look at the map; the surrounding terrain is exactly the same as here. So Wuwei City is here. The enemy used an illusion array.”
Hearing this, Elder Liu’s expression changed again. He glanced around and then said in a deep voice, “Then attack! That way we’ll know if there’s an illusion array here.” General Wu
nodded. Just as he was about to give the order, suddenly, countless magical formations appeared not far in front of them. These magical artifacts hurtled towards General Wu and his companions. Their expressions changed drastically, and General Wu immediately shouted, “Enemy attack! Watch out for the magical artifacts!”
In fact, even without his shout, the attackers noticed the artifacts and immediately drew their own, attacking the incoming attacks and blocking them. General Wu and his fellow kingdom-level experts weren’t idle either, because among the attacking artifacts were some kingdom-level weapons. Clearly, the enemy also had kingdom-level experts; otherwise, they wouldn’t have used such powerful artifacts. (End of Chapter)
