Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16013 Assassination
The Shangyang Sect is the largest and strongest sect in this region. Recently, there have been rumors that the Shangyang Sect has formed a hunting team to hunt down rogue cultivators who have committed offenses within the sect. Many rogue cultivators have already died at the hands of the Shangyang Sect's hunting team. Therefore, no matter which sect a rogue cultivator is working for, they dare not offend the Shangyang Sect again. They do not want to die. It is precisely because of this that no one has stopped Yang Qingyu's seemingly arrogant behavior.

As darkness approached, Yang Qingyu returned to the inn and went straight to his room to cultivate. When he was out on missions, he no longer needed to think about Yang Dingtian to accumulate jealousy points. There was no need for that. He only needed to wander around the places where rogue cultivators lived and scan the surroundings with his divine sense. Countless rogue cultivators would offer him jealousy points. Those rogue cultivators couldn't help but be jealous because they also wanted to be as arrogant as Yang Qingyu.

After finishing his spiritual energy cultivation, Yang Qingyu went to rest. However, he was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night. Yang Qingyu was no novice. During his missions outside, he had seen a lot and witnessed countless battles between rogue cultivators. Although various sects would impose some restrictions on rogue cultivators, many sects treated these restrictions as mere formalities. They didn't care about the lives of those rogue cultivators. Even if a rogue cultivator was killed, they would pretend not to know unless it was reported to them. Therefore, Yang Qingyu had witnessed countless battles between rogue cultivators, and those rogue cultivators would use any means necessary. They only wanted the other party dead. Because of this, Yang Qingyu was now very vigilant. Every night before going to sleep, he would set up an early warning device in his room. It wasn't a magic array, but simply a wire and a bell.

He learned this trick from a rogue cultivator. While magic arrays are excellent, under normal circumstances, early warning arrays are too expensive for most rogue cultivators to afford. Secondly, if the person targeting you is skilled in magic arrays, your array won't be able to stop them, and you might not even be able to detect them. However, using a more primitive method of early warning—a silk thread and a bell—is much simpler. The other party won't dare to easily use their divine sense to check your room, as you'll easily discover them. If you use a magic array, they can use their divine sense to check it without you noticing. But without a magic array, the other party won't dare to use their divine sense to check your room. If they want to enter your room without using their divine sense, they'll either go through the door or the window. You only need a silk thread and a bell to serve as an early warning. The other party will either go through the door or the window to enter your room, and as soon as they move, the bell will ring, and you'll know. This method is actually more effective.

That's why Yang Qingyu would set up this warning device every day before going to sleep. No one had attacked him before because everyone knew he was a disciple of the Shangyang Sect, so no one dared to attack him. But today was different. Just after midnight, Yang Qingyu was sleeping soundly when a clear bell rang. Yang Qingyu suddenly opened his eyes and then flew up while lying flat on his back.

The instant he took flight, a flying sword pierced his bed. If he hadn't taken flight immediately, he would have been seriously injured, if not dead.

After Yang Qingyu took flight, he immediately stood up. Then, with a flick of his hand, a flying sword appeared in his hand. He then pointed towards the door, and the flying sword stabbed directly towards the door. As soon as the sword was thrust out, the blade turned red, as if it were about to catch fire.

The man who attacked Yang Qingyu, realizing his attack had failed, didn't linger. He soared into the sky, smashing a large hole in the inn's room, before turning and flying away. The flying sword that had attacked Yang Qingyu followed him.

Yang Qingyu immediately flew out through the hole that the man had smashed open and chased after him. The man soon flew into a forest and disappeared as soon as he entered the forest.

Yang Qingyu entered the forest. He scanned his surroundings with his divine sense but found nothing. He only sensed a trace of escape technique energy fluctuations on a large tree.

Yang Qingyu's face was gloomy. He knew he couldn't find the other party because the other party had already used the Wood Escape Technique to escape. This Wood Escape Technique can use a large tree to escape dozens of miles at once, and it can also escape in any direction. Even if Yang Qingyu wanted to chase, he didn't know where to go.

Yang Qingyu moved swiftly and took to the air. He flew towards the inn, his face still grim. He didn't know who had attacked him. Judging from their methods, they didn't seem to be rogue cultivators. Rogue cultivators usually only knew one or two techniques, and few of them used flying swords. Rogue cultivators didn't know many techniques like the Five Elements Escape Technique. They usually used talismans, such as Earth Escape Talismans and Wood Escape Talismans, instead of cultivating escape techniques themselves. This was because they spent most of their time cultivating spiritual energy and sword or saber techniques, leaving no time for practicing techniques.

Rogue cultivators are quite different from sect disciples. Sect disciples receive a monthly stipend, enough to live comfortably even if they do nothing. This naturally leaves them with plenty of time to cultivate their spells. Rogue cultivators, however, must spend a significant amount of time each day earning spirit stones, or they risk starving. After earning their daily wage, they have little time left for cultivation. Aside from practicing spiritual energy and martial arts, they have little time left to practice spells.

The person who just attacked Yang Qingyu not only used a flying sword, but also a good one, and he also used Wood Release Technique, not Wood Release Talisman. All of this suggests that the person who attacked him was likely a disciple of a sect, not a rogue cultivator.

Why would a sect disciple attack him? Which sect was he from? Yang Qingyu couldn't understand it at all. Which sect had a grudge against him? He didn't think he had offended anyone. No matter which sect he went to kill those rogue cultivators, he always reported to that sect in advance, which was already very polite. Those sects shouldn't have attacked him. So who wanted to kill him? When Yang Qingyu returned to the inn, he found it surrounded by people. Many rogue cultivators were watching the commotion, while the innkeeper looked ashen-faced. Next to the innkeeper stood two sect disciples. These two disciples were from the sect they were currently in, and they were asking the innkeeper something.

Yang Qingyu landed directly in front of the inn, immediately attracting everyone's attention. The two disciples from the sect breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Yang Qingyu, and then bowed to him in unison, saying, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yang."

Yang Qingyu returned the greeting, then smiled at the two men and said, "Greetings, fellow Daoists. Thank you for your trouble." Yang Qingyu was certain that these two had come to investigate the attack on him. The roof outside his room was the only part of the inn with a large hole, and he had disappeared. It must have been because someone wanted to attack him. The innkeeper knew his identity and naturally wouldn't dare to neglect him; he must have reported it to the sect immediately. The sect members, upon learning of this, dared not fail to investigate. Now that they saw Yang Qingyu had returned, they were naturally very happy. Yang Qingyu being alive was the best news for them.

The two quickly replied, "No trouble at all. Fellow Daoist Daoyang, do you know who attacked you?"

Yang Qingyu shook his head. He really didn't know who had attacked him. When the two men saw Yang Qingyu's expression, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After chatting with Yang Qingyu for a few more minutes, they turned and left.

After the two men left, the innkeeper came over, forced a smile, and said to Yang Qingyu, "Sir, we have changed your room. Please come and rest in your room."

Yang Qingyu nodded, then tossed a spirit stone to the shopkeeper and said, "Here you go, consider it payment for repairing your roof." He then gestured for the shop assistant to lead the way, and the assistant hurriedly led Yang Qingyu to his new room. The shopkeeper, however, held the spirit stone with a very complicated expression on his face.

Yang Qingyu stayed in the new room until dawn. He didn't fall asleep, worried that the other party would come looking for him again, so he stayed until dawn. Fortunately, the other party didn't come. Yang Qingyu immediately began to cultivate. However, the reward he wanted after entering that space this time was quite special. When the statue asked him what reward he wanted, Yang Qingyu directly said, "My Lord, I want to know who attacked me."

“But it was Qian Zhengfang of the Shangyang Sect who attacked you.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingyu's expression changed drastically. He never expected that the attackers would be from the Shangyang Sect, and even more surprisingly, from the Qian family. The Qian family was the only major family in the Shangyang Sect that could rival the Yang family. The two families had dealings with each other, but they had always been secretly competing. The two families were roughly equal in strength. In terms of absolute strength, the Qian family might be slightly weaker, but not by much. Although the two families were secretly competing, they were still on good terms in public. They had even had a marriage alliance. Therefore, Yang Qingyu never expected that the Qian family would send someone to kill him.

The fact that the Qian family sent someone to kill him means they must know his strength and that he is a genius of the Yang family. Therefore, the Qian family probably wants to eliminate him so that the Yang family will have one less kingdom-level expert in the future.

Most importantly, he often goes out to do missions, which is definitely a good opportunity for the Qian family. Let him die on the territory of other sects, so that there will be fewer clues from the Yang Sect and the Yang family. Even if they want to investigate, it will be more difficult. That's why the Qian family made their move here.

Thinking of this, Yang Qingyu's face became even more unsightly. He really did not expect that the Qian family would use such means to deal with their Yang family. However, it seemed that it would be difficult for him to report this matter after he returned, because he had no way of explaining how he knew that it was the Qian family who attacked him.
