Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 1679: News Goes In All Directions

Sima Yin Long sat inside his room as he looked at a jade slip. Recorded inside the jade slip is a type of sword formation. Although Core Disciples seemed to be on the top of the world and were unreachable, they actually couldn’t relax in place. All of them knew that the reason they have their current position was because of their strength. If they didn’t have the strength to hold onto their position, then they would certainly lose it one day. 

It can be said that Core Disciples were more nervous than ordinary disciples. The pressure they bear is very heavy, especially the top ten core disciples. If they fell from their position, those who followed them would immediately disperse. They were afraid that it would happen to them one day.

Because of this, Core Disciples like Sima Yin Long wouldn’t go out without reason. They would spend most of their time on their personal mountains, cultivating.

As Sima Yin Long was studying the sword formation, a voice was suddenly heard from outside, “Senior Brother, I have something to report.”

Sima Yin Long’s brows couldn’t help but wrinkle. Then he replied, “Come in.”

Jin Zhengyin pushed the door and walked in. Then he bowed and said, “I have seen Senior Brother.”

Sima Yin Long nodded and said, “Alright, there’s no need to be polite. Tell me, what are you going to report?”

Jin Zhengyin nodded, then he looked at Sima Yin Long and said, “Senior Brother, I just received information. Who knows where he got it from, but Zhang Feng managed to acquire a ship-type large artifact. At present, we don’t know how strong it is.”

Hearing Jin Zhengyin, Sima Yin Long couldn’t help but put down the jade slip. He turned his head and said, “A large artifact? A ship-type? Is it big?”

The fight between the top ten Core Disciples and Zhang Feng happened in all aspects. One of the things that the top ten Core Disciples were proud of was the fact that they have large artifacts while Zhang Feng doesn’t. Zhang Feng has been trying to acquire one for many years but there were no large artifacts available to be purchased. And even if there were, Zhang Feng wouldn’t be able to afford it.

Zhang Feng also thought about looking for people to refine a large artifact for him. However, nobody dared to accept the job in the Black Tiger Gang. This was because  they were afraid that Zhang Feng would blame them if they didn’t do well.

Because of this, Zhang Feng didn’t have his own large artifact until now. This caused him to lack some strength to press Sima Yin Long and the others. But upon hearing that Zhang Feng has acquired a large artifact, Sima Yin Long’s mood immediately changed.

The battle between Zhang Feng and the top ten Core Disciples wasn’t just a matter of face and pressure. There were a lot of things involved in it. It was a battle for power and interest between the Gang Leader and the various clans in the sect. The top ten Core Disciples were heavily invested in this matter.

Zhang Feng now has a large artifact in his hands. Although Sima Yin Long was curious about how strong the large artifact was, what he was more concerned of was where Zhang Feng acquired it.

Not everyone can refine a large artifact. Moreover, it was impossible for a single person to create a large artifact on their own. And yet, Zhang Feng was able to get himself a large artifact. This only meant one thing, someone refined the large artifact for Zhang Feng.

Did Zhang Feng ask other sects to refine a large artifact for him? Does he have a secret refiner under his control? No matter which one of the two were true, Sima Yin Long wanted to find out the truth.

If Zhang Feng acquired the large artifact from another sect, then this meant that Zhang Feng had the support of that sect. This would be bad news for Sima Yin Long and the others.

If Zhang Feng has secret refiners under his control, then that was bad news as well. With these people under his wing, Zhang Feng would be able to amass more strength in the future.

Although the clans in the Black Tiger Gang were very influential, to the point of becoming the pillars of the sect, the Gang Leader was still the one who held the highest position. Sima Yin Long also knew that the reason why Zhang Feng was able to develop so fast was because he had the support of the Gang Leader.

However, most of the refiners of the Black Tiger Gang were under the control of the large powers in the sect. The Gang Leader also has refiners, but these people wouldn’t be able to create a large artifact. If Zhang Feng truly grasped a large artifact refiner, then this meant that the shortcoming of the Gang Leader has been supplemented. For the major groups in the sect, this was not good news.

Jin Zhengyin didn’t know what kinds of thoughts were running around Sima Yin Long’s head. Although he had followed Sima Yin Long for some time, he didn’t know Sima Yin Long’s background. Because of this, he honestly answered, “It’s very big, not smaller than the Black Tiger Ships. It also looks imposing.”

Sima Yin Long knit his brows as he waved his hand and said, “Alright, continue gathering information about this large artifact. See where Zhang Feng got it from. Right, start with those Battle Slaves under Zhang Feng.”

Jin Zhengyin looked at Sima Yin Long as he forced a smile and said, “Senior Brother, I’m afraid we’re already too late. Today, Zhang Feng sent a report to the sect saying that the Battle Slaves he got were possessed by the Devil and had died. Another group of Battle Slaves were sent to him from the lower realms.”

Sima Yin Long stood up as he was silent for the first time. He didn’t expect Zhang Feng to be so cruel. He immediately killed the Battle Slaves. It seems like these Battles Slaves must know some secrets of the Black Tiger Gang. Otherwise, Zhang Feng wouldn’t have made such a ruthless move.

Sima Yin Long replied, “Alright, you go back and continue your investigation. It’s possible that this involves Zhang Feng’s greatest secret. I want to find out what it is.”

Jin Zhengyin nodded, then he turned around and left. Meanwhile, Sima Yin Long went to a small room. And with a flash of white light, he vanished.

The next moment, Sima Yin Long appeared inside a study. Inside the study was an old man. Feeling Sima Yin Long’s arrival, the old person looked up and said, “You’ve come? Is it about Zhang Feng?”

Sima Yin Long carefully replied, “Yes Grandfather. Zhang Feng managed to get a large artifact. This is bad news for us. Most importantly, all of the Battle Slaves under him were killed. I think those Battle Slaves knew something. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have resorted to extreme measures.”

The old person looked at Sima Yin Long and said, “I know about this. There’s no need to be so anxious. We currently have no clues about this. Even if we want to investigate, we don’t know where to start looking. Also, our side isn’t that weak that a large artifact can shake our foundation. It won’t be the end of us.”

Sima Yin Long lowered his head as he listened. He doesn’t dare to refute the old man. The old man looked at him and said, “You head back. Don’t come here if its not important. It would be a problem if people find out.” Sima Yin Long nodded before he turned around and left.

Looking at Sima Yin Long’s departing back, the old man sighed and said, “Too anxious.” Then he frowned and said, “This matter needs to be discussed.” Then the old man said, “Prepare my carriage!” The servant outside immediately complied. Before long, the old man was outside and his carriage was already prepared.

The old man’s transport turned out to be a beast carriage. The people who picked him up were dragon-like beings. Their whole bodies were black and shone under the light. At first glance, they looked terrifying. However, they had turned docile. They were lying on the floor with no domineering aura coming out of them.

After the old man boarded his carriage, it immediately soared up and disappeared. The mansion that the carriage left from was very majestic. And on the mansion gate, there was a hanged sign that had the character “Si Residence” on it.

It was the Si Residence, not the Sima Residence. The old man was the head of the Si Clan, a well known family in the Black Tiger Gang. Nobody in the sect knew that Sima Yin Long was actually a member of the Si Clan. On the contrary, what everyone knew was that Sima Yin Long and the Si Family seem to have conflict with each other.

The other big clans of the Black Tiger Gang had the same reaction as the Si Clan. Everyone started to make their moves when they found out that Zhang Feng had acquired his own large artifact. All of them went to the same location, the Hu Clan.

The Hu Clan wasn’t an ordinary cultivator family. In fact, the Hu Clan was a Beast Clan. They were Fox Cultivators. Moreover, the Hu Clan existed ever since the Black Tiger Gang was established. After many years, they managed to stand firm in the sect. This showed how powerful they were.

There were two ancient clans in the Black Tiger Gang. One was the Hu Clan while the other was the Han Clan. While the Han Clan was hidden from the public, the Hu Clan was a prestigious clan in the Northern Divergent Province. It can be said that the two families, one in the light and one in the dark, were the largest forces in the sect.

The Hu Clan were close to the other clans in the Black Tiger Gang. These clans follow the Hu Clan, even to the point of disregarding the Gang Leader.

On the other hand, the Han Clan was a firm supporter of the Gang Leader. Every Gang Leader was closely linked with the Han Clan. Because of this, the two clans weren’t very friendly with each other. Although their conflict didn’t reach to the point of fighting, it was impossible for the two to cooperate.

The movements of the various clans were naturally known by the Gang Leader. However, the Gang Leader has no time to deal with them at this moment. This was because he was currently meeting with Zhang Feng.

The current Gang Leader of the Black Tiger Gang was called Tie Zhantian. He’s from a Body Cultivation Clan. He’s currently at the Transcending Tribulation Stage and had great strength. He was two meters tall and had skin like bronze. He had a full beard and leopard-like eyes. At first glance, he looked like Zhang Fei. Although he looks like a middle-aged person, nobody can ascertain how old he really was.

Zhang Feng was currently inside Tie Zhantian’s study. Tie Zhantian looked at Zhang Feng and said, “Little Feng, tell me. Where did you get your large artifact?”

Zhang Feng looked at Tie Zhantian as he smiled and said, “It’s given to me as a gift. He said that with my status, it doesn’t make sense for me to move around using a flying sword. So he gifted me a large artifact.” 

Tie Zhantian stared, his eyes turned wider as he said, “Don’t talk nonsense. That’s a large artifact. Who is so rich that he can just give one to you? You want me to beat you up?”

Zhang Feng innocently replied, “Martial Uncle, I’m not talking nonsense. It’s truly given to me. It’s a large artifact made by parts and once the parts have finished refining, they were assembled. Then the formations were added before it was completed. I’m not deceiving you at all.”

Hearing Zhan Feng, Tie Zhantian began to believe. But he was still confused, “Where did you meet such a refining master? The other clans couldn’t sit still. They’re currently looking for that person. Won’t he expose himself?”

Zhang Feng smiled faintly and said, “There’s no need to worry about that. As for that person’s identity, I cannot tell you at this time. But I am certain that the clans would never find him. It’s also impossible for him to help the other clans. Moreover, let me tell you, he’s not only a refining master, he’s also a pill master. Later on, we won’t need to worry about artifacts and pills.”

Hearing Zhang Feng, Tie Zhantian couldn’t help but stare. His eyes shone as he said, “Really? If that’s true, then that would be great for us.”

Zhang Feng smiled and said, “I’m not lying. I’m very good friends with that person. If Martial Uncle has any need for pills, just ask me and I’ll go look for that pill master. However, it’s possible that the Battle Slaves knew him. Therefore, I have no choice but to kill them all.”

Tie Zhantian waved his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter if the Battle Slaves get killed. Right, I heard that you’ve promoted a Battle Slave ahead of time. Will he know about this matter?”

Zhang Feng shook his head and said, “He doesn’t. Rest assured, that kid is a genius. I plan to dry him out in the sun for some time. Later on, I’ll make use of him.”

Hearing Zhang Feng, Tie Zhantian nodded and said, “Alright, that’s good. You must be careful in the following days. Don’t come in contact with that master. Now, the other clans are staring at your back, even the Han Clan. If you contact that refining master, you might expose yourself. Therefore, you need to lay down for some time. Understood?”

Zhang Feng nodded and said, “I understand. Martial Uncle can rest assured. But Martial Uncle, wouldn’t it be fine if the Han Clan knows? In fact, Han Ren might already know about the refining master’s identity.”

Hearing Zhang Feng, Tie Zhantian couldn’t help but stare. Then he knit his brows and said, “If they know, then they know. The Han Clan knows how to handle their own matters. As long as that refining master’s identity is kept secret, then there’s no problem. Alright, you can head back. Be careful.” Zhang Feng nodded before he turned around and left.
