Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16455
Chapter 16453. The Attack (Part 3)
Zhang Tieliang and Wu Qingying’s expressions were also quite grim. They looked towards Jade Dragon Mountain, where even the mountains were no longer visible, only a vast forest. To be honest, they had never encountered such a situation before. They had only heard of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s powerful formations, but they had no idea just how powerful they were. But now they did.
Suddenly, Zhang Tieliang’s expression changed. He said, “No, our base has expanded. Their formation can’t cover the entire base. There should still be quite a few people on their way to support us. What should we do?”
Wu Qian’s expression also changed. He said, “We saw that disciple resurrect. If we hadn’t seen it, we wouldn’t have known that disciple had become one of theirs. If more disciples resurrect and the people coming to support them don’t know, then they won’t be on guard against those people, and they’ll be in danger.”
Hearing Wu Qian say this, Zhang Tieliang and Wu Qingying’s expressions became even more unpleasant. With a flick of his hand, he immediately produced a communication array. Then, he took out a jade slip, entered some information into it, and sent it out. He then produced several more arrays and sent out several more jade slips. After doing all this, Wu Qian said, “I’ve already told the people at the other bases not to send any more reinforcements here. Now we’ll go to a secondary base of one of the bases and have them retreat immediately.”
The two nodded, and then they took to the air. Zhang Tieliang glanced around, then pointed in a direction and said, “There.” He then flew off in that direction, and Wu Qian and the other quickly followed.
The secondary base Wu Qian mentioned earlier was actually a small base they expanded after the main base was built. This secondary base also had a teleportation array and a passage leading to the main base. They did this to prevent the Blood Slaughter Sect from using a barrier array to seal the main base, preventing them from sending out messages and hindering outside support. However, they were now regretting it; if their reinforcements were still on their way, they would be in danger.
As Wu Qian flew forward, he took out another jade slip, entered some information into it, and then teleported it away. This jade slip was for Gongliang Juewen.
The three of them quickly arrived above the secondary base. Wu Qian immediately shouted, “I am Wu Qian! People from the base, come out immediately!”
His voice was extremely loud; he didn’t care if the Blood Slaughter Sect members heard him. Just then, a group of Blood Slaughter Sect members suddenly appeared not far in front of them and charged straight at them. Seeing the group, Wu Qian flicked his wrist, and a flying sword appeared in his hand. He then launched the sword directly at the group of Blood Slaughter Sect members. Facing
such an attack, the Blood Slaughter Sect members were not afraid at all. Although their strength was inferior to Wu Qian’s group, they still charged forward. Just as Wu Qian’s flying sword was about to reach the foremost Blood Slaughter Sect disciple, the disciple suddenly swung his longsword, directly parrying Wu Qian’s sword.
With a clang, Wu Qian’s longsword was directly parried. Wu Qian’s expression changed instantly, and he immediately said, “The sect’s most treasured artifact, be careful!” This was a warning to Zhang Tieliang and Wu Qingying, urging them to be cautious. Upon hearing this, their expressions also changed.
The next moment, a hole suddenly appeared in the ground, and a group of cultivators flew out of it. As soon as they saw the Blood Slaughter Sect members attacking Wu Qian and his companions, they immediately drew their flying swords and charged towards the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples. The Blood Slaughter Sect disciples, seeing these people suddenly appear, also changed their expressions. They then moved swiftly, dodging the attacks, and quickly retreated into the nearby woods, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Clearly, they had once again entered the illusion array.
As soon as the Blood Slaughter Sect members disappeared, the group approached Wu Qian and his companions. The leader, a Kingdom-level expert, immediately bowed to Wu Qian and asked, “General Wu, what are you doing here?”
Wu Qian glanced at them and then asked, “None of you entered the main base, did you?”
The leader was taken aback, then looked at Wu Qian and his two companions with some confusion before shaking his head and saying, “No, we’ve been at the secondary base the whole time.”
Wu Qian immediately said, “Immediately notify everyone in the secondary base not to enter the main base anymore. Those who have already entered the main base, ignore them. Everyone in the secondary base, immediately withdraw. Remember, make sure those who haven’t entered the main base withdraw.”
Although the leader was confused, he still responded and immediately went to make the arrangements. Wu Qian then said, “Send someone to inform the people at the other deputy bases not to enter the main base anymore. Don’t worry about anyone who has entered the main base. If anyone is leaving from the main base, make sure to control them first. Understand?”
The leader was taken aback. Wu Qian’s order was even stranger. However, he glanced at Zhang Tieliang and Wu Qingying and found that neither of them objected. He immediately replied, “Yes, I’ll make the arrangements right away.” After saying that, he immediately ordered his men to relay the order.
After the arrangements were made, the leader looked at Wu Qian and said, “Elder Wu, may I ask what exactly happened? Why did you give such an order?”
Wu Qian glanced at the man, then said in a deep voice, “We witnessed a dead disciple being resurrected by the Blood Slaughter Sect using runes. That resurrected disciple has become a member of the Blood Slaughter Sect, and you can’t tell from his appearance that he was resurrected. This means that all the disciples who entered the main base may have already been killed and resurrected by the Blood Slaughter Sect, and these resurrected…” “We can’t tell the difference, but they’ve already become members of the Blood Slaughter Sect.”
Upon hearing Wu Qian’s words, the man’s expression changed drastically. His eyes widened, and he glanced at Zhang Tieliang and Wu Qingying, who nodded in agreement. The man’s face completely paled, and he immediately exclaimed, “This, this, this is terrifying!” He was speechless; the mere thought of it was horrifying. He also understood why Wu Qian had ordered them to control the people who had withdrawn from the main base. Wu Qian was worried that among those people were those resurrected by the Blood Slaughter Sect.
Wu Qian said, “I’ve already told the people from the other bases not to come to our aid anymore. We must retreat immediately; the main base can’t be held.”
At this moment, many people flew out from the secondary base. After they flew out, they all looked at Wu Qian with some confusion. Wu Qian didn’t explain much, but instead said, “Go to the other bases. By the way, are there any of you who came from the main base? If so, step forward immediately. If anyone knows of anyone who came from the main base but hasn’t stepped forward, point them out immediately. There will be a big reward.”
The people all looked at each other, not knowing what Wu Qian meant. Just then, one of them suddenly attacked the person next to him, killing him with a single strike. Then, without looking back, he flew straight into the woods not far away.
Wu Qian, however, was prepared. Seeing the man try to escape, he thrust his flying sword forward. The man noticed Wu Qian’s attack and dodged to the side, but he couldn’t outrun Wu Qian’s sword. The sword struck the man’s arm without a sound, and he flew forward. Wu Qian pulled his sword out of the man’s arm. Wu Qian clearly saw that his sword was out, but the man’s arm didn’t bleed; the wound healed instantly.
Wu Qian’s heart skipped a beat. By the time he tried to strike again, the man had already disappeared into the woods. Wu Qian then turned to look at the others, who were now in a state of confusion. They all stared blankly in the direction the man had fled, their faces filled with astonishment, completely bewildered.
Wu Qian looked at these people and said directly, “The Blood Slaughter Sect has a method to resurrect the dead. The resurrected person will become one of their own, but they will be indistinguishable from their original state. Anyone who has left the main base could be one of them. Everyone must be careful. Is there anyone else who has left the main base? If so, step forward. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. I already know how to identify resurrected people.”
No one stepped forward. Wu Qian continued, “Can anyone point out who came from the main base?” Still, no one spoke. Seeing this, Wu Qian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that none of these people had come from the main base, so they were safe.
At this moment, cultivators flew in from several other directions, their numbers considerable. Seeing them approach, Wu Qian immediately said, “Everyone, stop! Has anyone come from the main base? I want to know the situation there.”
No one spoke. Then, a kingdom-level expert said, “General Wu, a few people came from the main base earlier, but you said you wanted to control them. Just as we were about to make our move, they ran away. Before they ran, they tried to kill someone, but failed.”
Hearing this, Wu Qian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, “Everyone, follow me. We’re going to another base.” He then led the group forward. The others exchanged bewildered glances. They didn’t immediately follow Wu Qian; after all, they had just been fighting the Blood Slaughter Sect, and now they were being forced to flee. They couldn’t understand it.
