Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15776 Mu Family
"Alright, let's follow Old Ding's plan for now. Don't tell the people at the Nine Yang Immortal Palace about this yet. Let's see how things develop. If those guys really do kill people at the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, it will definitely cause chaos there. Once they see the Nine Yang Immortal Palace in disarray, they'll definitely attack. Once they attack, the Nine Yang Immortal Palace will realize that they were the ones who did it. Then we can act. If they don't act, then we can report this to the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. Then they should act, and chaos will break out. What do you all think?" Wen Wenhai finished speaking and looked at everyone, waiting for their answers.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then Wen Wenhai said, "Alright, then it's settled. Everyone, go back now." Everyone responded and turned to leave.

Fucha returned to his sect. Upon arrival, he immediately summoned Mu Ling and Shen Xiao to his room. Once inside, Fucha told them, "The sect already knows about this. Their plan is to ignore it for now and let things develop for a while. If those guys really do kill people in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, the palace will fall into chaos, and they might then attack it. The sect can then intervene. If they don't make a move, then it's not too late for us to act."

Both of them responded, and Fucha looked at them and said, "How are you doing with what I asked you to do?"

Mu Ling said, "It's all done. The disciples of this sect who are helping us with the work are now all members of the undead race."

Fucha nodded and said, "That's good. We're going to the next sect, but this time we have to slow down. We'd better not go back to the sect before those guys make a move."

Everyone responded in unison. Fucha thought for a moment and then said, "Write a report to the sects and tell them that we have discovered something is wrong with those sects and are investigating the cause. Therefore, we plan to stay outside for a while longer."

Shen Xiao was taken aback, then looked at Fucha with some confusion and said, "Didn't we say we wouldn't tell the sect about this? Doesn't this mean we did?"

Fucha shook his head and said, "No, if we say that, the sect will only think that we are making excuses and don't want to return to the sect and participate in the competition for the sect leader. They will not only not ask any questions, but will agree immediately. You'll see."

Upon hearing Fucha's words, Shen Xiao was taken aback, then nodded and said nothing more. At this moment, Fucha took out a communication array and wrote a letter to the sect, saying that they had discovered some anomalies in those sects and were investigating them. They requested the sect's permission to extend their mission.

When the people at the Nine Yang Immortal Palace saw Fucha's letter, they indeed didn't take it seriously. Fucha's previous letters to them all said that everything was going smoothly, so they couldn't believe that such a letter had suddenly arrived. However, in their opinion, it was better that Fucha didn't come back. If Fucha had come back, he might have tried to compete for the position of sect leader. Now that he wasn't coming back, they didn't have to worry. Therefore, the people at the Nine Yang Immortal Palace quickly agreed to Fucha's request and allowed them to extend their mission.

Fucha and his group breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he began to contact the sects they were to be sent to, preparing to extend the duration of their mission. Although the people of those sects did not know why Fucha was doing this, they still agreed.

Meanwhile, at the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, the competition among the core disciples for the position of sect leader had become quite fierce. However, they all adhered to their bottom lines and did not take action against the core disciples. They were merely trying to trip each other up.

The Mu family is a large family in the Nine Suns Immortal Palace. Their family has a large population, including not only the main family but also many collateral branches. They all live together in a large manor.

In an inconspicuous corner of this manor lived a family. This family was also from the Mu family, but they were from a collateral branch, and a long-declining one at that. Their lives were now similar to those of ordinary disciples. They received almost no benefits from the Mu family. However, their situation was somewhat special. The family consisted of three people. The head of the family was a man in his forties, very thin and with a poor complexion. When he was young, he had suffered a mishap while practicing martial arts, leaving him with internal injuries that had never healed. This had prevented him from keeping up with his cultivation and from improving his overall strength. The mistress of the house was not in much better shape. She had no talent for cultivation and was originally just a servant of the Mu family, so she naturally did not benefit from the Mu family's influence. The couple had a child, a rather good one, twenty years old this year, with considerable talent. However, because the couple's status in the Mu family wasn't very high, the child had never received any nurturing. The Mu family knew the child was talented, but they still didn't give him any resources. Instead, they allocated more resources to the children of the main family and a few powerful branch families. Those children clearly didn't have the same talent as the child, but they were stronger. This made the family feel extremely unfair, but they had nowhere to appeal. Sometimes, even in a large family, fairness is impossible; the competition might even be more intense.

They lived in a small courtyard of the Mu family, which was far from the main house of the Mu family. They were not valued and usually no one came to visit. But today, a person was standing in their room, and the whole family stood nervously opposite him. They knew this person because he was an elder who managed them and they often dealt with him.

The elder glanced at the family and then said, "Mu Yang, your child has excellent talent, and the family intends to cultivate him. However, the family cannot simply provide your child with cultivation materials for no reason, as that would attract gossip. Therefore, the family is preparing to give you a task. If you can complete this task, your child will receive special training from the family. But let me make it clear first, this task is extremely dangerous. Do you dare to do it?"

Mu Yang was the male head of the household. He looked to be in his forties, with a pale face and a thin build, clearly indicating that he was not in good health. In fact, for a cultivator, as long as they were not dead, their injuries could be healed. However, if the injuries were severe, a great deal of resources were needed to save them, which ordinary people simply could not afford. Just like Mu Yang, his injuries were indeed treatable, but healing them required many precious medicinal herbs. Unfortunately, he was not valued by the Mu family and therefore did not receive treatment, which left him with a chronic condition.

Mu Yang now places all his hopes on his son, Mu Zhong, who is very talented. He hopes Mu Zhong will be successful, but unfortunately, they have never received any family training. Mu Yang is very anxious because he thinks that if things continue like this, Mu Zhong will be wasted.

Now, such an opportunity has suddenly presented itself to him. Even if it were a dangerous mission, or even if it were to cost him his life, he would do it immediately.

Upon thinking of this, Mu Yang immediately said, "Elder, please give your orders. I am willing to do any task, no matter what it is."

The man nodded, then glanced at Mu Yang's wife and children. Mu Yang immediately understood what he meant. He turned to his wife and children and said, "You two go out first. I have something to talk to the elder."

His wife and child responded, and then the two left. Before leaving, his wife glanced at him with some concern, but in the end, she still left.

After the two left, Mu Yang invited the elder to sit down. The elder didn't mind and went directly to a bench placed next to the eight-immortal table in the room. Then he looked at Mu Yang and said, "Mu Yang, I believe you have heard about the current situation in the sect. Our family is vying for the position of sect leader, and Young Master Mu Ju is very likely to become the next family head. However, Young Master Mu Ju has a very strong competitor, and that is Shen Weifeng from the Shen family. This Shen Weifeng is not only strong, but the Shen family is also no weaker than ours. If Young Master Mu Ju wants to become the family head, he must eliminate Shen Weifeng. And this mission is about that. The family has decided to send you to eliminate Shen Weifeng. What do you say? Do you dare to do it?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yang was stunned. He knew his own limitations; his strength was very poor, not even reaching the Shi level. Shen Weifeng, on the other hand, was a core disciple, meaning his strength should at least be at the Royal Palace level. The difference was too great. Asking him to kill Shen Weifeng? Wasn't that just sending him to his death? How could that be possible?
Upon seeing Mu Yang's expression, the elder's own face darkened, and he asked, "What? You're unwilling?"

Upon seeing the elder's expression, Mu Yang was startled. He immediately said, "I'm willing, of course I'm willing, but elder, you know what I mean. With my strength, I probably can't even get close to Shen Weifeng, let alone kill him. Even if he stood there and let me kill him, with my attack power, I'm afraid I couldn't break through his defense, right? If I attack Shen Weifeng, wouldn't that be like sending myself to my death? It doesn't matter if I die, but if it causes trouble because of me, then I will become a sinner of the family."

Upon hearing Mu Yang's words, the elder smiled and said, "Since you're being given this task, this is obviously what I've thought of. Here, use this to kill Shen Weifeng. Don't worry, as long as you successfully kill Shen Weifeng, Mu Zhong will receive the family's full support." As he spoke, the elder moved his hand and produced an object—a crossbow. This crossbow was very beautiful, made entirely of bronze and engraved with patterns. The string was transparent, yet this seemingly thin string exuded an astonishing aura that chilled anyone who saw it.
