Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 251 - 137: He Killed Someone Directly—Is This What Elder Huo Meant?
Although the Profound Gold Fish Scale Armor is not a Divine Soldier, it is far more than just a symbol of a commander’s status.
The materials used in its creation are top-quality materials that can forge Celestial Human Artifacts. When the armor is worn by a commander and infused with True Power, it can resist attacks from many masters of the same level.
Wei Fan shook the heavy armor and draped it over himself, then tied on a bright red cloak, instantly transforming his aura into that of a fierce general on the battlefield.
He pushed open the door and walked out. Situ Ying’s eyes lit up, "With that aura, it’s a pity you’re not a general."
"Let’s go!"
Wei Fan glanced at him and took the lead towards the training ground.
There were already horses prepared and ten companions ready.
This time, he and Long Xueyi were meant to go out and show their might, and they were well-equipped for it.
His mount was no ordinary warhorse but a superior Demon Horse.
The Demon Horse naturally had scale armor, and now it was also equipped with heavy armor. As Wei Fan mounted it, he felt an urge to charge forward.
The feeling of being a commander issuing commands to thousands of troops was indeed different from being a Demon Hunter.
"Depart!"
Seeing that Situ Ying and others had also mounted their horses, he waved his large hand, and the group rode away.
Soon, everyone knew the Demon Suppression Bureau had a new commander.
Because many saw the commander wearing Profound Gold Fish Scale Armor riding out of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
Except for the commander, no one dared to wear the Profound Gold Fish Scale Armor.
Except for the Divine Realm Martial Sect, no matter how great the achievement, one could not become a commander.
...
Taoyuan Town is well-known far and wide because of a Divine Tree that grows here, worshipped by the townspeople.
Under the protection of the Divine Tree, not only do Demon Fiends dare not be presumptuous, even the most ruthless Demon Suppression Guards of the Court have to speak softly here.
In the vicinity, everyone knows that if one encounters difficulties at home, they can sell their life in Taoyuan Town, and their family will immediately overcome the crisis.
Recently, it is said that the people of Taoyuan Town plan to hold a grand sacrifice for the Divine Tree, offering high prices for offerings, attracting a continuous stream of visitors for several days.
Even those not selling offerings come to witness the rare spectacle of the grand ceremony, and many are present.
At this moment, outside Taoyuan Town, a group of solemn-faced Demon Suppression Guards waits, with an especially conspicuous Captain at the forefront.
He is clad in battle attire, emanating an iron-blood aura.
"Why hasn’t the new commander arrived yet? If they don’t come soon, today’s sacrifice will commence."
Captain Shi Wuping is somewhat anxious, frequently looking into the distance.
A subordinate remarks, "Don’t worry, sir. These people are seeking death themselves. Even if the new commander arrives, they might not be able to stop this."
"Indeed. Even when the Grand Commander was here, these matters were only tacitly approved. Who knows what kind of person this new commander is!"
Shi Wuping sighs, turning to gaze at the massive treetop in the town behind him, clenching his fists tightly.
These animals use great wealth to tempt, having already sacrificed over a dozen people the day before yesterday, more than twenty yesterday, and today are preparing to sacrifice over thirty.
If he had the power, he would burn the Peach Tree Demon with fire.
He received news that the new commander would come to Taoyuan Town to make a deterrent, to knock the Peach Tree Demon down a peg, and he, as the Town Guard Captain, waited with his subordinates early.
"The commander is here!"
A low shout comes from the side.
Wu Shiping looks up, seeing the official road ahead raising a dust cloud like wolf smoke.
At the front of the dust cloud, over a dozen warhorses gallop, closely following a Demon Horse covered in armor.
"It’s the new commander!"
Shi Wuping immediately identifies the armor as Profound Gold Fish Scale Armor.
Moments later, the horses gallop up close.
"Halt..."
With a command, the warhorses halt while galloping, raising hooves high and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Wu Shiping quickly steps forward to hold the commander’s Demon Horse, "I am Wu Shiping, leading the Demon Suppression Guards under my command in saluting the commander, sir."
"We salute you, commander, sir!"
The other Demon Suppression Guards shout out, only then directing their gaze towards this new commander, suddenly stunned.
Isn’t this Wei Fan? The new commander of the Demon Suppression Bureau turned out to be Wei Fan?
Wei Fan dismounted, and Situ Ying and others behind him jumped down as well.
Wei Fan’s gaze swept over Shi Wuping, finding him adequate in cultivation, at the Heavenly Human Fourth Level, "Leave two people to watch the warhorses, and the others follow me into the town!"
He crossed a few people, taking the lead into Taoyuan Town.
Shi Wuping instructed two Demon Suppression Guards to lead the warhorses away and quickly followed, "It’s good that you arrived, Commander Wei. These people are getting more out of hand. Previously, it was only a monthly sacrifice. Since news of the Third Commander’s betrayal and the Grand Commander’s incident spread, they now sacrifice daily. The day before yesterday saw over a dozen sacrifices, yesterday over twenty, and today they’ve prepared over thirty offerings.
They offer high prices, and some beasts are willing to sell their infants from the cradle for money. Others even steal children to sell.
Yesterday, brothers discovered these stolen children intended for sale, trying to stop it, yet were wounded by Zhao Family members! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Without severe measures, these beasts will likely consume more and more."
As Wei Fan listens, his mind recalls information on the Zhao Family.
This Peach Tree Demon has formed today’s climate, now a long-standing interest chain. The Zhao Family can be said to be the Peach Tree Demon’s dogs or partners.
The fruits borne by the Peach Tree Demon are all sold or used to draw in influential figures through the Zhao Family.
The money gained is largely used for purchasing offerings to sacrifice to the Peach Tree Demon.
Through years of development, the Zhao Family is no longer like Ding Family of Dingyang Town, an ordinary group dependent on Evil Spirits. The Zhao Family of Taoyuan Town now stands as a Martial Arts Family, even boasting Celestial Martial Artists.
...
At the center of Dingyang Town, there lies a magnificent estate.
