Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16318 Capture
The Blood Slaughter Sect was unaware of the Ironclad Sect's actions. After all, few people knew about it to begin with, and the Blood Slaughter Sect hadn't suspected Li Youfu at the time. Li Youfu's abilities had helped them, and his act was so convincing that the newly joined rogue cultivators of the Blood Slaughter Sect never questioned his identity. Therefore, they had no idea that the Ironclad Sect was already suspecting the Myriad Beasts Sect; they still thought their conflict with the Myriad Beasts Sect was over.
Although the Blood Slaughter Sect left some surveillance devices on the Three Mountains Sword, these devices cannot be used lightly. Kingdom-level experts like Qingxuan and his group have extremely keen senses. They can sense even if you are just watching them or listening to them talk. Because of this, the Blood Slaughter Sect cannot monitor Qingxuan and his group indefinitely, and therefore does not know what Tie Huanshan and his group were talking about.

The Myriad Beasts Sect did discover some rogue cultivators gathering information, but those cultivators were still at Myriad Beasts Mountain, under the constant surveillance of the Blood Slaughter Sect, who were waiting to turn them all into undead tonight. So they had no idea that they were already suspected, and that the Ironclad Sect had already begun targeting them.

Meanwhile, the Ironclad Sect had also made arrangements. They directly dispatched some elite disciples, but these elite disciples did not go to the Myriad Beasts Sect. Instead, they ambushed the perimeter of the Myriad Beasts Sect's main hall. At the same time, some elite disciples also ambushed the various markets of the Myriad Beasts Sect, waiting for the disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect or those rogue cultivators of the Myriad Beasts Sect to come out.

The Blood Slaughter Sect was unaware that the Myriad Beasts Sect was already under suspicion, so they did something else they had been doing all along. This was quite simple: they sent some of the rogue cultivators from the Myriad Beasts Sect's headquarters out to other sects' markets or headquarters to gather intelligence.

Of course, they couldn't send out too many people at once. Although rogue cultivators do move around, many of them don't actually wander off easily. So even if they were to move around, they would only send out a small number of people, and these people wouldn't all leave in one day. They would leave in batches, a few each day, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Liu Qing is a rogue cultivator from the Myriad Beasts Sect. He has received orders to leave the sect's headquarters tomorrow and go to the Ironclad Sect's headquarters to infiltrate. There are many rogue cultivators like him who stay in a lower-level sect for a while, hoping for a better life, and then move to a larger sect. Rogue cultivators have more opportunities living in larger sects, so many are willing to go there. Therefore, no one will suspect him if he goes to live in the Ironclad Sect. Moreover, he is just going there to live and doesn't need to gather information, so he will not be in any danger.

Nothing happened that night. Dealing with the rogue cultivators who had infiltrated the Myriad Beasts Sect didn't require Liu Qing's involvement; there were people specifically tasked with that. So Liu Qing had a good night's rest. Early the next morning, he finished preparing and went directly to the teleportation array. He used the array to travel to a market town under the Myriad Beasts Sect's jurisdiction. From there, he immediately used the market's teleportation array to travel to a market town of the Ironclad Sect. Once there, he used the teleportation array again to travel directly to the Ironclad Sect's main hall, which also had a residential area for rogue cultivators.

After Liu Qing appeared in the area where rogue cultivators lived, he looked around and then walked inside. Once inside, he found an inn and checked in. However, he didn't know that his news had already reached the Ironclad Sect the moment he checked into the inn.

Liu Qing took the teleportation array from the main hall of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to the market of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. The disciples of the Ironclad Sect already knew this. Some disciples of the Ironclad Sect had been keeping an eye on the teleportation array near the market of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Of course, they didn't keep an eye on it all the time. They pretended to be rogue cultivators and either drank or did other things near the teleportation array while keeping an eye on it. So when Liu Qing took the teleportation array from the main hall of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to the market, he was already being watched by the disciples of the Ironclad Sect.

Don't assume that just because you've taken a teleportation array to another place, the teleportation array that received you will reveal where you came from. That's impossible. Anyone who knows anything about teleportation can tell where you came from at a glance. The disciples that the Ironclad Sect sent out this time were specifically for this purpose, so they immediately recognized that Liu Qing came from the headquarters of the Myriad Beasts Sect.

The Ironclad Sect was the leader of this region, possessing the coordinates of all the sects' teleportation arrays. They had all the teleportation array coordinates. When Liu Qing used the teleportation array from the Beasts Sect's headquarters to the market's teleportation array, a coordinate would appear on the array. The Ironclad Sect disciples, using that coordinate, would know where Liu Qing came from. Upon discovering Liu Qing came from the Beasts Sect's headquarters, they immediately kept an eye on him. Then, seeing Liu Qing use the teleportation array to go to one of their Ironclad Sect's markets, they immediately used their own teleportation arrays to follow him to that market. After arriving at the market, they immediately found the disciple in charge of the teleportation array, showed him their identification tokens, and asked where Liu Qing had gone. The disciple in charge of the teleportation array immediately told them that Liu Qing had gone to the main hall of the Ironclad Sect. Upon hearing this news, the disciple immediately returned to the Ironclad Sect via the teleportation array. Then they went directly to the Loose Cultivator Management Office and told the people there about the matter. The people there immediately came forward, found the person in charge of the teleportation array in the Loose Cultivator settlement area, and asked if Liu Qing had arrived. They received an affirmative answer, and then immediately asked about Liu Qing's whereabouts.

Liu Qing was a new face, and after arriving here, there were bound to be a few people who remembered him. So the Ironclad Sect people quickly found Liu Qing's residence, and Liu Qing had only just settled into his room at this time.

This was Ironclad Sect territory, so the members of the Ironclad Sect acted with even greater impunity. Therefore, once they found out Liu Qing's whereabouts, they immediately surrounded him. Liu Qing, unaware that he was being watched, wasn't particularly vigilant. He had just settled into his room when suddenly the window and door were flung open simultaneously. Startled, Liu Qing immediately drew his magical artifact, a flying sword. Several members of the Ironclad Sect rushed in and attacked him.

Upon seeing the actions of those people, Liu Qing's expression changed. He swung his flying sword straight at them. One of the attackers flicked his sleeve, and with a clang, his flying sword was swept away. Liu Qing's expression changed again, and he exclaimed, "Iron Armor Sect?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ironclad Sect member moved and was already in front of him, reaching out to touch him. Liu Qing knew from the other party's appearance that the other party wanted to subdue him. He was very clear that the other party was not capturing him just because he was a rogue cultivator, but because his identity had been exposed. However, he still wanted to know how much the other party knew, so he pretended to be unable to resist and was subdued by the Ironclad Sect disciple.

The Ironclad Sect disciple breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Liu Qing subdued, and the other Ironclad Sect disciples who had rushed in with him also breathed a sigh of relief. Then one of the disciples said, "Senior Brother Zhong, you were too fast. We didn't even have time to react before you were finished."

Senior Brother Zhong smiled slightly and said, "At this time, we must act quickly. Otherwise, if he commits suicide by the time he realizes what's happening, we'll have to go through the trouble of searching his soul."

Soul searching is indeed troublesome. If they could get anything out of Liu Qing, they really wouldn't want to do it. Liu Qing also heard what Senior Brother Zhong said, and his heart sank. He immediately looked at Senior Brother Zhong and said, "Are you gentlemen from the Ironclad Sect? How could I have offended the Ironclad Sect? I have been working for the Myriad Beasts Sect and I do not believe I have ever offended any of the Ironclad Sect's leaders. Have you come to the wrong person?"

Senior Brother Zhong looked at Liu Qing, then smiled slightly and said, "If you know what's good for you, come with us. When we get there, just answer whatever we ask. Don't try anything funny. That way you can suffer less. Otherwise, if we really search your soul, you're finished."

Liu Qing pretended to be very scared and immediately said, "Please rest assured, gentlemen, I will tell you everything honestly. I will answer whatever you ask."

Senior Brother Zhong nodded and said, "That's good." With that, he conjured a black garment in his hand, which he then draped over Liu Qing's shoulders. The next moment, Liu Qing vanished. Senior Brother Zhong led the group outside to the inn's lobby, where he addressed the innkeeper, the staff, and the guests: "Remember, you know nothing. Nothing happened here, and no one has checked in. Understand?"

The shopkeeper, the waiters, and the customers all depended on the Ironclad Sect for their livelihood, so of course they wouldn't disobey Senior Brother Zhong. They all nodded and said, "Yes, sir, we understand."

Senior Brother Zhong nodded, then led the other Ironclad Sect members out and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The people in the inn breathed a sigh of relief after he left. The innkeeper immediately said to one of the waiters, "Go upstairs and take a look. A few days ago, a drunk guest broke the door and window of one of our rooms upstairs. We immediately found someone to fix it. Honestly, we've been asking you to fix it for days, and it's still not done. If it's not fixed soon, I'll deduct your wages."
