Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15988 Exchange
You see, once that guy escapes underground, he can use the Earth Travel Talisman to escape in any direction at a very fast speed. It would be almost impossible for them to catch him. Underground, visibility is terrible, and even spiritual senses would be greatly affected. Under these circumstances, it would be impossible to catch that person.

But at that moment, an unexpected event occurred. The man landed on the ground, but he couldn't escape underground. This caught everyone off guard. Before they could even think about what was happening, their weapons were already attacking him. The man clearly hadn't expected that he couldn't go underground. He was slightly stunned, and in that moment of hesitation, the weapons were already in front of him. Although he immediately picked up his scimitar to defend himself, he was no match for the sheer number of weapons. Several long knives pierced his body, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked around in disbelief, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Those who attacked him were all seasoned veterans. After stabbing the man in the body, they immediately pulled out their weapons and retreated. Everyone else followed suit. Some, not understanding why they were retreating, simply followed suit when they saw everyone else retreating. They didn't know why they were retreating, but they soon realized what was happening when the man's body suddenly swelled up and then exploded with a loud bang.

Huo Lei stepped aside and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the man explode. He then muttered, "The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique. Almost all of these demonic sect members know this move. If you encounter them, even if you see them about to die, you must get away immediately, otherwise it will be dangerous."

Wu Lingfeng nodded with lingering fear. He really hadn't expected it to turn out this way. He had never dealt with people from the Demonic Sect before, and his reaction was a little slow. However, after seeing Huo Lei and the others retreat, he immediately retreated as well, thankfully without revealing any flaws.

After the explosion, the ground remained intact, while a curved knife was embedded in the wall of a house not far away. At the center of the explosion, there was a patch of radioactive blood that radiated in all directions, but the ground itself was unharmed.

Huo Lei and the others returned to the center of the explosion. They first looked at the ground with curiosity, then one of the cultivators turned to look at Wu Lingfeng, and then he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wu Lingfeng and said: "Friend Wu, you have a skillful way of seeing that he was going to run away, and you actually used a Steel Earth Talisman directly. If it weren't for your Steel Earth Talisman, he might have really gotten away."

At this moment, everyone else also realized that the reason why that person was unable to escape underground was because Wu Lingfeng used a Steel Earth Talisman. This kind of talisman is the nemesis of Earth Escape Talismans. It can also be used to build temporary cave dwellings in the mountains or underground. Many rogue cultivators carry a few spares with them.

Wu Lingfeng had just used a Steel Earth Talisman to make the ground as hard as steel, which is why that guy couldn't escape underground.

Upon hearing this, Wu Lingfeng couldn't help but laugh and say, "No, no, I was just worried that he would use the Earth Escape Talisman, so I prepared in advance. If he wanted to go through the sky, we could still chase after him. But if he went through the ground, we wouldn't be able to catch up. So I prepared for this move, and I didn't expect it to actually work."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing his words, and one cultivator even spoke up, "Good, excellent! Fellow Daoist Wu's move has rid us of a scourge in one fell swoop. I think we should give this magic weapon to Fellow Daoist Wu. What do you all think?" As he spoke, he pointed to the curved sword on the wall.

Although the scimitar was a demonic artifact, it was indeed a decent one, made of good materials. Even if Wu Lingfeng didn't use it, it could fetch a good price. The cultivator, however, left nothing behind except the scimitar. He might have had a spatial bag, but that might have been destroyed in the explosion. So the scimitar was the only thing he left behind. And Wu Lingfeng had indeed made a great contribution this time, which is why the man made such a suggestion.

Everyone around nodded in agreement; no one objected. They all felt that there was nothing wrong with giving the magic artifact to Wu Lingfeng. They were independent cultivators, but independent cultivators were often the most disciplined.

Seeing that everyone around him agreed, Wu Lingfeng didn't stand on ceremony. He clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Thank you all. However, I'm not good with swords. My sword was damaged when I fought that person. If any fellow Daoist who uses a sword takes a fancy to this magical artifact, you can take it. Just give me a decent sword instead." What Wu Lingfeng needed now was a sword; the sword was truly useless to him.

Upon hearing his words, everyone's hearts stirred. Some were genuinely interested in the curved sword. Although they hadn't fought that man for long, the fact that the curved sword remained gleaming and new after such a long battle with Huo Lei and Wu Lingfeng showed that it was no ordinary sword. Having such a sword would certainly be helpful to their strength.

Unfortunately, most people don't know how to use a curved sword. You have to know that the way to use a curved sword is different from that of a regular sword. So, although they want to get the curved sword, they hesitate because they don't know how to use it.

Just then, a voice rang out, "I have a longsword in my hand for you to examine, fellow martial artist. If you find it appealing, then I'll take this scimitar." With that, a somewhat thin cultivator in his forties stepped forward. With a flick of his wrist, a longsword appeared in his hand. This longsword was rather strange, as it was entirely green and resembled a bamboo stalk. The man drew the sword, its blade gleaming like autumn water under the illumination of the spell. Wu Lingfeng didn't stand on ceremony, accepting the longsword with both hands. He drew it and examined it closely. He noticed that the blade wasn't very thick or heavy, but when he held it and gave it a slight shake, it trembled like a serpent. Simultaneously, a gleaming light danced along the blade with the movement, a beautiful sight indeed.

Wu Lingfeng couldn't help but praise, "Excellent sword, excellent! Thank you, fellow Daoist." After saying that, Wu Lingfeng sheathed his longsword. The man laughed heartily and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome." With that, he moved his hand and took the curved sword off the wall. He gently stroked the blade, revealing a satisfied expression, before putting the curved sword away.

The people around didn't say anything when they saw this, but everyone was in a good mood. After all, the sword hanging over their heads had disappeared, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Huo Lei then laughed heartily and said, "Everyone, our cooperation this time has been a great success. We have finally eliminated this scourge. How about we go to the tavern for a drink? Although I, Old Huo, don't have many spirit stones, I can still afford to treat each table to a pot of wine."

Upon hearing Huo Lei's words, everyone burst into laughter. Then one of them shouted, "Alright, Old Huo is generous! Let's take advantage of him this time!" With that, everyone flew straight towards the tavern and soon entered it. The tavern was immediately packed with people and bustling with activity.

The tavern owner was also very happy. As soon as he heard that Huo Lei was going to treat everyone at each table to a pot of wine, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, it's rare for Old Huo to be so generous, so I'll be generous too. Old Huo, I'll give each table a 40% discount on the wine you give them, and I'll also give each table a small dish as a token of my appreciation."

The crowd cheered again, and then the tavern staff began serving drinks and food. The crowd laughed and talked loudly. They were indeed very happy to have gotten rid of that guy, and since they had just fought together, they felt that their relationship had become even better. So everyone laughed and talked loudly, making their relationship seem even closer.

Huo Lei didn't sit at his own table. Instead, he picked up his wine glass and went to other tables from time to time, chatting and laughing with the people there. Clearly, through this incident, he had become very familiar with those people.

Wu Lingfeng was drinking with Li Tong there. The rest of the Green Wolf Gang members had already gone back. The tavern wasn't very big and couldn't hold all those people, so those who came this time were all gang leaders and their confidants. Of course, everyone else had gone back.

Wu Lingfeng and Li Tong were drinking and chatting when the shop owner came over with a glass of wine. He raised his glass to Wu Lingfeng and said, "Fellow Daoist Wu, I've heard everything about your situation. You deserve the most credit for taking care of that scourge this time. Here, let me toast you."

Wu Lingfeng quickly stood up, picked up his wine glass, and said with a smile, "You're too kind, boss." After saying that, he clinked glasses with the boss and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. Then the two of them raised their glasses and laughed heartily. At this moment, the boss said to Wu Lingfeng, "Fellow Daoist Wu, please enjoy your drink. I'll go and ask someone else for a drink." After saying that, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wu Lingfeng, and Wu Lingfeng immediately returned the salute. However, in the instant the boss turned around, Wu Lingfeng saw a mark on the boss's wrist. His eyes narrowed for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. Then he sat down and continued talking to Li Tong. His change in expression was only for a moment, and no one noticed. The boss then went to other tables to offer drinks. The people in the tavern got to know each other for more than an hour before it ended, and everyone left the tavern.

After everyone left the tavern, Huo Lei breathed a sigh of relief as he walked towards the courtyard, saying, "Finally, we've dealt with that guy. Now I can finally get a good night's sleep."

Wu Lingfeng said, "Boss Huo, I think we should send someone to keep watch at night from now on. Even though we're removing one person, we should still keep someone. Otherwise, if something really happens in the future, we'll end up like the Iron Fist Gang. So we should be careful."

Huo Lei thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then leave one person to keep watch at night."
