Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 120 - 76: Taixu Demon Suppression, Lifebound Sword Qi, Qi Collection and Demon Hunting
Ning Xuan, Su Guangwen, Su Xuerong, Peng Mingjie!
Wei Fan stepped out of the Merit Hall and saw the four of them hurrying towards him, their expressions anxious.
Wei Fan said with a smile, "It’s just going to the street, is there any need for such urgency? Let me call Hu Qing, and we’ll go together."
Ning Xuan stepped forward and said solemnly, "Brother Wei, going to the street can wait. Senior Sister is in trouble; please help her."
Ning Xuan’s senior sister was, of course, Li Fengyi.
Wei Fan’s smile faded, and his expression turned serious, "What happened to her?"
He was surprised that Li Fengyi didn’t come, only to learn she was in trouble.
Peng Mingjie and Ning Xuan shook their heads together, "We don’t know exactly what’s happened, but suddenly the sect sent a message saying Senior Sister has betrayed the sect, and any Floating Rain Sect disciple who sees her must kill her immediately.
Now, I hear from the brothers at the sect that experts from the Law Enforcement Hall have already been sent to hunt down Senior Sister."
Wei Fan knew a little about Ning Xuan’s sect, the Floating Rain Sect, but not much. He only heard Ning Xuan say that the Floating Rain Sect was a Jianghu sect second only to the Four Major Sects within the Su City area, with a Celestial Martial Artist overseeing it, considered a second-tier influence.
The real first-tier influence would be a sect like the Divine Blade Sect, which even the Demon Suppression Bureau does not dare to underestimate.
Wei Fan frowned and said, "Li Fengyi is a person of the Demon Suppression Bureau; isn’t your sect afraid of the Bureau’s wrath by sending people to hunt her down?"
Peng Mingjie shook his head with a wry smile, "You don’t know, we sect disciples are often not well liked by either side. We don’t get much attention from the sect, nor do we have opportunities to comprehend supreme martial arts, so we came to the Demon Suppression Bureau to risk our lives.
But at the Demon Suppression Bureau, they also guard against us. We can gain martial arts skills by making merits, but we’re never allowed to hold power.
If it were any other force chasing down Senior Sister, the Demon Suppression Bureau would certainly intervene.
But in a case where the sect is chasing a disciple, the Bureau will not interfere.
When the Demon Suppression Bureau allowed sect disciples to join, these terms were already contracted.
Sect disciples can gain no power within the Bureau, for the Bureau doesn’t trust them.
Similarly, the sect fears disciple betrayal, so it requires the Bureau not to intervene in matters between the sect and disciples."
Ning Xuan added, "Of course, not interfering depends on the matter.
From what I know of Senior Sister, even though we are not valued by the sect and have no access to Sect Martial Arts, she would not resent the sect, let alone betray it.
It’s not like betraying the sect will make the Bureau value her; that’s simply impossible. Someone who would betray their sect would never be trusted by the Bureau.
Brother Wei, all we can ask is for you to find Senior Sister and ask her what happened. If she really did something to betray the sect, then we have no face to ask more of you.
But if Senior Sister has been framed deliberately, please assist her."
The intrigue in sects is even greater than in the Bureau. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
When he heard of Li Fengyi’s betrayal of the Floating Rain Sect, his first reaction was that she was framed.
Moreover, the situation was strange. If she had betrayed the sect, how could she have escaped from the Floating Rain Sect? Clearly, she wasn’t there when it happened.
Nor was it explained how she betrayed the sect.
The relentless pursuit seems more like a cover-up.
From what he knew, Floating Rain Sect disciples were secretly watching several entrances to Su City, as if to prevent Li Fengyi from returning.
...
In the dense forest, several figures were darting, their toes touching the branches and their bodies flying more than ten meters forward.
"Li Fengyi must not live; if she returns to the Demon Suppression Bureau, we will all be in trouble. Fortunately, we have Lifebound Sword Qi; we can find her no matter where she escapes."
An Jiyong held a three-inch-long small sword in his hand.
The Jianghu sects have ways to restrain their disciples, albeit not controlling life and death, but if you betray the sect, it is useless to escape to the ends of the earth.
This is because the sect will extract a wisp of Lifebound Sword Qi from you when you break through the Acupoint Realm, using special methods and materials to forge a small sword. This small sword can be used to track you.
The Demon Suppression Bureau does not give sect disciples the opportunity to hold power for these reasons, as the sect already tightly controls their lifeblood.
If the distance is short, the small sword forged from Lifebound Sword Qi can even be used to harm you.
"Li Fengyi is nearby!"
The three-inch small sword in An Jiyong’s hand suddenly vibrated, and he understood this was the Lifebound Sword Qi’s connection to its owner. Through this connection, they were able to track Li Fengyi.
"Li Fengyi is just ahead, quicken your pace, and remember not to hold back when the time comes; cut Li Fengyi down with all your strength."
An Jiyong flew ahead with three others following behind, all core disciples of the Floating Rain Sect, even of the same master and family name.
Such places as the sects are not much different from noble families; the so-called direct transmission often consists of the offspring of the sect’s masters.
The current Young Sect Leader of the Floating Rain Sect is indeed the Eldest Legitimate Son of the Sect Leader, but the situation within a sect is much more complicated than a family.
"Don’t, Brother Jiyong, Li Fengyi is a stunning beauty, killing her outright would be a pity; let’s have some fun first, after chasing her all night, we should get some gratification!"
A lecherous voice sounded, followed by another voice, "Ji Jun is right, a beauty like Li Fengyi is hard to come by. In these deep and isolated mountains, we need not worry about any trouble; since she’s already aware of our affairs, we might as well not pretend."
