Bringing the farm to another world

The Divine Shock Crossbow is a weapon capable of threatening even kingdom-level experts, and it was also the culprit behind the destruction of Tanglou. Now, this Divine Shock Crossbow has appeared in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. What does this mean? It means that the Nine Yang Immortal Palace possesses the Divine Shock Crossbow and can threaten kingdom-level experts. If outsiders believe that the Nine Yang Immortal Palace has the ability to manufacture the Divine Shock Crossbow, then the Nine Yang Immortal Palace is doomed, and they will face attacks from all kingdom-level experts.

It was precisely because Li Ruobing saw this clearly that he immediately ordered a news blackout. At the same time, Shen Yu and Mu Cheng also realized this, and their faces were extremely grim. They then realized that the appearance of the Divine Crossbow was a threat to the entire sect, not just to their two families. They had not thought of this before, which was their biggest mistake.

Li Ruobing looked at the two men with icy eyes and said coldly, "Which of you can tell me what's going on? Where did this Divine Crossbow come from?"

Shen Yu shook his head and said, "We don't know. Today was the day that Shen Weifeng, a core disciple of our family, was to meet with the head of the Lu family. But just as the two of them exchanged a single sentence, Shen Weifeng was killed by the Shocking God Crossbow. The one who used the Shocking God Crossbow was a disciple of the Mu family named Mu Yang."

Upon hearing Shen Yu's words, Li Ruobing's expression changed. He immediately asked, "Is Wei Feng really dead?" Shen Wei Feng was a member of the Shen family and a core disciple. He was talented and strong. He hadn't expected that Shen Wei Feng would actually die.

Shen Yu nodded, his face full of sorrow. Shen Weifeng was the number one expert of the current generation of the Shen family, a pillar of strength, and could even be said to be being groomed as the next generation of the family. But now he was dead, which was tantamount to ruining the future of the Shen family. Although the Shen family could cultivate another young expert, they were a step behind other families. One step behind could lead to a step behind. If the Shen family really faced a situation of not having a successor in the future, it would be too dangerous. Just look at the Kong family.

Li Ruobing immediately turned to look at Mu Cheng, who shook his head and said, "Sect Master, this matter really has nothing to do with us. Our family does not have the Divine Shock Crossbow, and I don't know where Mu Yang got it. But I think someone is definitely framing us. Now not only is Mu Yang dead, but his family is also dead. This is obviously a cover-up to prevent us from knowing where their Divine Shock Crossbow came from."

Li Ruobing said in a deep voice, "Where are their bodies?"

Mu Cheng immediately waved his hand, and someone carried out the bodies of Ling'er and Mu Zhong. Shen Yu also carried out the body of Mu Yang.

Li Ruobing looked at Mu Yang's corpse, then said in a deep voice, "Examine the body, search the soul."

Feng Xidao responded and immediately took action. He carefully examined the bodies of the Mu family and then tried to search their souls, but failed. He stood up with a grim expression and said to Li Ruobing, "Sect Master, they were poisoned, and it's a latent poison. Judging from their current condition, they've been poisoned for several days. The other party probably waited until they completed their mission before activating the poison in their bodies, causing their entire family to die. Moreover, this poison is extremely potent; it can directly eliminate a person's soul, making it impossible to search their souls."

Upon hearing Feng Xidao's words, Li Ruobing's expression changed. He then said, "So, besides this poison and the Divine Crossbow, we have no other clues?"

Feng Xidao responded, "That's true."

Li Ruobing said, "The lack of clues is the biggest clue. Do you think there are many people in this world who can make this kind of poison? And this Divine Crossbow is also the biggest clue. We will start investigating from these two clues. I must find out who did this."

Feng Xidao responded, and Li Ruobing immediately turned to Mu Cheng and said, "Mu Cheng, you immediately start investigating your Mu family. See who has been in contact with Mu Yang these days. Call everyone who has been in contact with them here. Also, see what Mu Yang has said to others these days, and see if there is anything unusual about their family. Go quickly."

Mu Cheng responded and immediately ordered someone to do it. Li Ruobing immediately turned to Shen Yu and said, "You also need to investigate and see what Wei Feng has been doing these days, why he wanted to see Patriarch Lu, and how the incident happened. Hurry up."

Shen Yu responded and was about to give an order when he saw one of the people behind him suddenly reveal a strange smile. Then his face slowly turned black, and his whole body turned black before he collapsed.

Upon seeing the man's change, Shen Yu's expression changed, and he immediately said, "Quickly, search his soul."

The Shen family members were all stunned. They followed Shen Weifeng's gaze and found that Master Lin was dead. The people standing next to Master Lin were stunned at first, and then immediately began to search Master Lin's soul. However, Master Lin was already dead, and his soul had also disappeared. His death was exactly the same as that of the Mu Yang family.

Upon seeing this, the Shen family members' expressions changed. They immediately understood that Master Lin was the mole, and he had deliberately led Shen Weifeng to meet the Lu family. All of this was a pre-arranged plan.

At this moment, Lu Fang, the head of the Lu family, completely changed his expression. He immediately led the Lu family disciple to kneel down in front of Li Ruobing and said, "Sect Master, our Lu family is innocent. It was this Master Lin who found our disciple and said that Shen Weifeng wanted to see us. We dared not refuse, so we came to see him. But before we could even exchange two words with him, Shen Weifeng was killed. This matter really has nothing to do with our Lu family. Sect Master, I am willing to cooperate with the sect's investigation. Even if you have to search our souls, we are willing. We only beg the Sect Master to spare our Lu family."

Lu Fang was well aware that given their current situation, they had virtually no chance of survival. Under these circumstances, he had no choice but to sacrifice himself to save the entire Lu family; otherwise, the Lu family would truly be finished. Upon hearing this, Li Ruobing began to believe him somewhat, but he still hardened his heart and said, "Alright, don't worry. As long as this matter has nothing to do with you, I will protect the Lu family."

Lu Fang's expression relaxed, and then he kowtowed to Li Ruobing again, saying in a deep voice, "Thank you, Sect Master." After saying that, he knelt there and did not move.

Li Ruobing turned and glanced at Feng Xidao. Feng Xidao immediately understood what Li Ruobing meant. He walked over and placed his hand on Lu Fang's head. The next moment, veins bulged on Lu Fang's face, and he began to tremble. At the same time, his eyes rolled upwards, and blood began to flow from his seven orifices.

This is exactly what soul-searching is like. Soul-searching is the process of extracting a person's soul and directly examining the memories within it. However, it's impossible to see all the memories; you can only see the portion that you need. Being subjected to soul-searching is like suffering the most severe punishment in the world; it causes immense pain and ultimately leads to death. No one who has undergone soul-searching ever survives.

After a while, Feng Xidao finally let go, and Lu Fang fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and died. Feng Xidao was still not satisfied, so he searched the soul of the Lu family disciple again. When he let go, the Lu family disciple was also dead.

He then turned to Li Ruobing and said, "Sect Master, what they said is true. This matter has nothing to do with the Lu family. The Lu family did receive Master Lin's letter, which is why they came to see Shen Weifeng."

Li Ruobing nodded, then said in a deep voice, "Send the bodies back to the Lu family in Yun, give them a proper burial, and at the same time, take good care of the Lu family." Feng Xidao responded, waved his hand, and immediately disciples stepped forward to lift up the bodies of Lu Fang and the Lu family disciple, then turned and left.

Meanwhile, an elder from the Mu family reported to Mu Cheng. After listening to the report, Mu Cheng said directly to Li Ruobing, "Sect Master, there has been nothing unusual about the Mu family these days. Their family members are still living the same life as before, and they haven't seen any special people. They haven't seen a single outsider, so everyone who has met their family members is here."

Soon, some members of the Mu family were brought before Li Ruobing. These people included the old and the young, men and women, and they were all trembling with fear. As soon as they saw Li Ruobing, they all knelt down.

Li Ruobing glanced at them, then asked, "What are your identities? What is your relationship with Mu Yang?"

"Replying to the sect leader, we are neighbors of the Mu Yang family."

"We are friends of Mu Yang's wife."

"We are Mu Zhong's friends."...They all introduced themselves.

Upon hearing the people reveal their identities, Li Ruobing immediately turned to Feng Xidao and said, "Interrogate them and see if there are any clues."

Feng Xidao responded and immediately waved his hand. The disciples of the Enforcement Hall took those people away. Mu Cheng did not stop them. He knew that the Mu family had been tricked this time. If he stopped those people from being taken away, the Mu family would really be unable to explain themselves. So now he could only let those members of the Mu family be taken away.

Li Ruobing then turned to look at everyone and said, "Feng Xidao, register all the people involved in this matter, and make sure they have no connection with Shu. This matter must be kept strictly confidential."

Feng Xidao quickly responded. Li Ruobing then turned to look at Mu Cheng and Shen Yu, and said, "This time, you two are very likely to have been set up. Neither of you should act recklessly. If either of you dares to act recklessly, I will deal with whoever does it. Do you understand?"

The two responded in unison, and Li Ruobing nodded. Then he said in a deep voice, "Alright, you two come with me too. Notify all the family heads, all the branch hall masters, and all the elders that we need to have a meeting."

Someone immediately responded and went to make arrangements. Upon hearing Li Ruobing's words, everyone's expression changed, but no one said anything. They felt that Li Ruobing was right; such a serious matter required a proper discussion, which would be truly irresponsible. Therefore, no one objected. Shen Yu, Mu Cheng, and Feng Xidao all followed Li Ruobing, flying straight towards the sect's main hall. They needed to have a proper discussion. (End of Chapter)
