Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 275 - 148: Trouble Arrives, General Pei Shinan
On the official road, everyone stared in astonishment at Wei Fan.
Deng Boyong swallowed and said, "Shall we kill the others too? We can head straight back to Su City..."
Killing one is killing, killing them all is still killing.
He thought it would be better to just kill them all, so they wouldn’t have to worry about these guys anymore.
Since becoming Deputy General, he had repeatedly moved Wu Yinglong and the others, constantly on edge, fearing a Divine Realm Martial Sect or Concentrating Spirit Great Demon would rescue the prisoners.
"No, that’s against the rules!"
Wei Fan shook his head to reject the proposal; it should have been done before, as the rescuers were already dead, killing them now would break the rules.
Li Qingmeng was surprised, as she initially thought Wei Fan would agree with Deng Boyong’s suggestion to kill the remaining prisoners, but didn’t expect Wei Fan to adhere to principles.
This guy seemed slaughter-happy, yet adhered strictly to rules!
Deng Boyong and the others also didn’t expect Wei Fan to reject the proposal.
"Enough talking, handle the bodies, and let’s move on!"
Deng Boyong and his group stopped talking and started digging pits in the distance to deal with the corpses of Wu Yinglong and the others.
"Brother Wei, I didn’t expect to see you here!"
Cyan Bird approached after seeing Wei Fan finish handling matters.
Wei Fan smiled, "Miss Qing Niao, I couldn’t reveal myself due to a mission earlier, please forgive me!"
Although it was only their second meeting, Cyan Bird had earned his recognition.
Cyan Bird shook her head, knowing it was not convenient to acknowledge each other in that situation.
She pulled her senior sister Li Qingmeng over and said, "Brother Wei, let me introduce you, this is my senior sister Li Qingmeng, who is also a Demon Hunter!"
Wei Fan cupped his fists, "I have met Miss Li, there is no need to be so wary, even if you weren’t Miss Qing Niao’s senior sister, I wouldn’t harm the innocent!"
He looked carefully at Li Qingmeng, noting that apart from Huo Tianzheng and Long Xueyi, she was the only Divine Realm Martial Sect-level Demon Hunter he’d met.
Li Qingmeng’s guard dropped slightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "I’ve met Brother Wei!"
Considering he hadn’t acted at this point, it seemed Wei Fan wouldn’t make a move against them.
Her wariness was due to certain Jianghu rumors, claiming Wei Fan left no one alive, killing in one sweeping move.
Cyan Bird curiously asked, "Brother Wei, weren’t you a Demon Hunter? How did you become the Demon Suppression Bureau’s Commander?"
"I’m just acting in the role temporarily!"
Wei Fan shook his head, saying, "The Su City Demon Suppression Bureau’s commander defected, and the headquarters hasn’t sent a replacement. To stabilize the situation, I stepped in temporarily..."
He briefly explained the situation in Su City, while Deng Boyong and the others finished handling Wu Yinggao’s group’s bodies, and the group continued their journey.
Li Qingmeng showed a peculiar expression, "A commander defecting is no small matter; usually, the Demon Suppression Bureau Headquarters handles it immediately, unless something major delays them...
To my knowledge, there’s no major issue at the Kyoto Demon Suppression Bureau Headquarters recently. Did someone in Su City offend a top expert at the headquarters?"
Offended someone at the headquarters?
To be honest, yes.
When leaving Kyoto, Yue Shengfang invited Long Xueyi to a banquet, but she refused. If anyone could influence the Demon Suppression Bureau’s high officers, Princess Sheng definitely had that capability.
Though whether it was Yue Shengfang, Wei Fan wasn’t sure, as not handling Su City’s matters didn’t greatly affect him or Long Xueyi.
If Demon Fiends truly breached Su City’s defenses, the first to be blamed would be Long Jianying, then Situ Feng, and finally the Tongzhou Demon Suppression Bureau’s General Pei Shinan for not sending reinforcements.
It’s unclear whether it’s aimed at the two of them or one of the three.
"Given the delay, it should be resolved soon. When the Inspector arrives, you can ask what the situation is."
Li Qingmeng clearly knew quite a bit, pointing things out to Wei Fan.
They were also heading to Tongzhou and happened to be going the same way as Wei Fan’s group, but since they were transporting prisoners, their progress was slow. After traveling together for a bit, Cyan Bird and Li Qingmeng bid farewell and parted ways.
No one else attempted a prisoner rescue on the rest of the journey.
Two days later, guided by Deng Boyong, Wei Fan’s group entered a mountain outside Tongzhou City.
Like the Great Prison of the Suzhou Demon Suppression Bureau, the Tongzhou City Demon Suppression Bureau’s Great Prison was also built outside the city.
Walking in the mountains for a while, several fierce Demon Suppression Guards appeared and stopped them.
"We are from the Suzhou Demon Suppression Bureau, transferring prisoners here!"
Deng Boyong dismounted, handing over the Deputy General’s waist token and papers. The Demon Suppression Guards checked them before letting them pass, disappearing into the shadows.
"This defense force is even stronger than Su City’s!"
Wei Fan nodded secretly; these Demon Suppression Guards were all experts in the Acupoint Opening Ninth Layer, all seasoned on the battlefield.
After walking for a while, they reached a mountain cavity where the carriage stopped.
A passage opened in front of the mountain cavity, with guards emerging to stand on both sides.
None of them dismounted, as they had to wait for the Tongzhou City Demon Suppression Bureau Commander to arrive before transferring the prisoners. Wei Fan had already sent a message using the Commander’s waist token.
"Let me out!"
Chi Sha’s voice came from the carriage as he awoke, clamoring to be let out, but no one paid attention to him.
After a while, Wei Fan sensed the aura of a Divine Realm Martial Sect approaching from afar, and soon a figure clad in Profound Gold Fish Scale Armor landed in the clearing.
"Greetings, Commander You!"
The Tongzhou Demon Suppression Guards standing by the passage shouted in unison.
