Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15984 Destruction of the Family
A master can sometimes really change the course of a battle. The Green Wolf Gang was originally at a disadvantage, but because of Wu Lingfeng's sudden outburst, their disadvantage disappeared instantly. The Iron Fist Gang also noticed Wu Lingfeng, and several Green Wolf Gang members immediately surrounded him. Wu Lingfeng could tell from their appearance that they were also cultivators at the Qi level. Clearly, the Iron Fist Gang wanted to deal with him as soon as possible, and then deal with the rest of the Green Wolf Gang. This was exactly what Wu Lingfeng wanted to see.

Of course, Wu Lingfeng couldn't kill all those people at once. The two Iron Fist Gang members he killed earlier hadn't even reached the Qi level. If he could kill several Qi level cultivators now, his strength would be too conspicuous. His current goal wasn't to attract attention. So, after the Iron Fist Gang members surrounded him, Wu Lingfeng changed his sword stance, switching from offense to defense. He tightly guarded his position, and although he seemed to have no power to retaliate against their attacks, he managed to keep them occupied, preventing them from attacking others.

With Wu Lingfeng holding off those people, the rest of the Green Wolf Gang members were able to relax, and the gap in strength between the two sides was quickly leveled. Huo Lei was stronger than Wu Liang, and without any other help, it was impossible for Wu Liang to defeat Huo Lei. Huo Lei gradually gained the upper hand.

Upon seeing this situation, Wu Liang's heart skipped a beat. He knew very well that if the fight continued, they would definitely not come out on top. Thinking of this, Wu Liang immediately shouted, "You, surnamed Huo, you're ruthless for actually finding such a master. If we've lost today, we'll retreat. You don't want to fight us to the death, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Lei paused in his actions, then jumped out of the circle and looked at Wu Liang, saying, "Wu Liang, take your men and get out of here right now. If you dare to cause trouble here again, I won't be so polite."

Upon hearing Huo Lei's words, Wu Liang snorted coldly and then shouted, "Stop it, let's go."

Upon hearing Wu Liang's words, the Iron Fist Gang members all stopped what they were doing. The Green Wolf Gang members also ceased their attacks. No one would attempt a sneak attack at this moment; that would be incredibly unsportsmanlike. Don't think that you've gained an advantage by attacking someone at this time; it will only escalate the conflict. Even if Wu Liang and his group retreated today, the Green Wolf Gang's reputation would likely be ruined. If anyone were to confront the Green Wolf Gang again in the future, they might actually go all out. Even if the Green Wolf Gang wanted to stop, the other side wouldn't. Therefore, sometimes, unwritten rules are more important than written rules. Once broken, the boomerang will eventually come back to bite you.

Wu Lingfeng also stopped. All the Iron Fist Gang members glanced at Wu Lingfeng, and then, led by Wu Liang, they turned and left. However, before they left, they also took away the corpses of several of their gang members.

After those people left, Huo Lei glanced at the two men who had died on their side, then said, "Li Tong, take some men and make two coffins. Bury them." Li Tong responded and immediately led a few men to cut down some trees, quickly nailed two coffins together, placed the two bodies inside, found a spot in the woods, used magic to create a pit, placed the bodies inside, filled the pit, and then everyone bowed a few times towards the pit. That was it.

After burying the deceased, Huo Lei came to Wu Lingfeng's side and patted him hard on the shoulder, saying, "Well done! We owe you a lot this time, otherwise we would have definitely suffered this loss."

Wu Lingfeng shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I'm also a member of the Green Wolf Gang. This is only what I should do."

Huo Lei nodded, then glanced at the place where the two people were buried, and sighed softly, "Perhaps this is the fate of us rogue cultivators. Sooner or later, we will also die silently in one place. There are not many rogue cultivators who can live to old age. I just don't know if anyone will be able to help us nail a coffin when we die."

Wu Lingfeng remained silent. He looked at the spot where the two men were buried and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. In fact, it wasn't just rogue cultivators who were all in the same boat; even sect disciples like them could die in battle at any moment.

Huo Lei only sighed. They were all independent cultivators and didn't have time to wallow in melancholy. Even if they were sad, they could only be sad for a while, not for too long, because they had to make a living.

Huo Lei then immediately directed everyone to continue cutting down trees, but the injured people were allowed to rest while the others continued working.

After a long day of work, Wu Lingfeng went back to his room after dinner and immediately began cultivating. He had killed several people today and offended the Iron Fist Gang, so he was sure he would get a reward tonight. He hadn't received any rewards in the past few days, or at least very few, because he was angry about the rewards he received and that's why he got some.

Wu Lingfeng made significant progress that day, and the next day he went to work with Huo Lei and the others again. This time, everyone was more enthusiastic towards him, after all, they had gone through hardships together.

For the next few days, they worked diligently without anyone causing them trouble. However, perhaps because the Iron Fist Gang members were vengeful, Wu Lingfeng received a reward every day for the next few days. Seven more days passed in this way. That evening, when Wu Lingfeng returned to his room to cultivate, he suddenly discovered that he was no longer receiving rewards. This made Wu Lingfeng frown, wondering what was going on and why he was no longer receiving rewards.

Although he was puzzled, he had no way to investigate the matter. He went about his work as usual the next day. On the morning of the third day, when Wu Lingfeng arrived at the courtyard where Huo Lei and the others were staying, he saw Huo Lei and the others talking about something, and their faces did not look good. Wu Lingfeng looked at Huo Lei and the others with some confusion, and then asked, "Boss Huo, what's wrong?"

Huo Lei said in a deep voice, "Last night when we went out for drinks, we heard some news: the Iron Fist Gang was wiped out." Huo Lei's words surprised Wu Lingfeng. No wonder he hadn't received any rewards these past two days; it turned out the Iron Fist Gang had been wiped out, so it was normal that he hadn't received any rewards.

However, this news surprised him somewhat. He looked at Huo Lei and asked, "Who wiped them out?"

Huo Lei shook his head and said, "I don't know. Overnight, the entire gang was wiped out. They all died silently. If someone hadn't smelled the blood later, they probably wouldn't have found them. The other party was very powerful. None of the Iron Fist Gang members resisted and died silently."

Upon hearing Huo Lei's words, Wu Lingfeng's expression changed drastically. He immediately said, "The Iron Fist Gang is quite strong, at least no weaker than us. How could they be wiped out so silently? The opponent's strength is terrifying! Did they use drugs?"

Huo Lei shook his head and said, "I don't know. There are all sorts of rumors circulating outside, some true and some false. We don't know which news is true and which is false."

Wu Lingfeng said in a deep voice, "The Iron Fist Gang was suddenly wiped out, and the Green Wood Sect doesn't care?"

Huo Lei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "They won't care. To the people of the Green Wood Sect, what are we? Just some rogue cultivators who can be abandoned at any time. They won't care about our lives or deaths. Even if we all die, they won't take it to heart."

Wu Lingfeng remained silent. He recalled the situation at Qingyang Sect and found that it seemed to be the same there; the life and death of rogue cultivators were not taken seriously by them at all.

Huo Lei sighed and said, "The Iron Fist Gang is actually similar to us. In the beginning, it was just a group of people sticking together for warmth. That's how it is here. If we don't stick together, someone will bully us, so we have no choice but to do this. But now they're dead. Saying this makes me feel really bad. They were probably even stronger than us. They were wiped out silently. Will we end up like that one day?"

Wu Lingfeng said in a deep voice, "Is it because they offended someone? They act much more arrogantly than us. If they accidentally offended someone and that person wiped them out, that would be normal."

Huo Lei sighed softly, "Maybe. In any case, we must be careful in the future. You have to be even more careful living alone. Why don't you move in with us after a while? That way, we can look after each other if anything happens."

Wu Lingfeng shook his head and said, "Forget it. I rented that house for a whole year. Even if I move in now, they're not going to let me get a refund. I'll just stay there."

Huo Lei said, "If you want to move in, that's fine too. You can just sublet your place. That's not impossible, is it?"

Wu Lingfeng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine. I'll make arrangements in the next few days and come over as soon as possible." Since Huo Lei had already said so, if he didn't move in, Huo Lei would become suspicious, so he agreed immediately. Anyway, there were empty rooms in the house, and they each had their own room, so moving here wouldn't interfere with his cultivation.

Upon hearing Wu Lingfeng's agreement, Huo Lei immediately said, "Leave this to me. I have some connections here. I'll have someone help you sublet the house. Wait for my news tonight, and I'll take people to see the house then."

Wu Lingfeng nodded. By then, everyone had finished eating. Huo Lei led everyone outside. After a day's work, Wu Lingfeng went straight back to his room after dinner.

Not long after returning to his room, Huo Lei brought a cultivator who looked to be in his thirties to him. Wu Lingfeng led the two into the room, and Huo Lei introduced him to Wu Lingfeng, saying, "This man is surnamed Run. He is here to help me sublet the house. You can move to the compound tomorrow. You can leave this house to Fellow Daoist Run to help you rent it out."

Wu Lingfeng turned to the cultivator surnamed Run and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Run."
