Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 291 - 156: The Demon Venerable Bleeds Again, Another Battle with the Demon Heaven Alliance
Suzhou Demon Suppression Bureau, Huo Tianzheng put down the communication token: "It’s over!"
Wei Fan showed a look of surprise. He had prepared to instigate a fight between the Tongzhou Demon Suppression Bureau and the Divine Sword Sect, taking Long Xueyi to participate in the annihilation of the sect. Could such a prestigious Peak Sect be destroyed just like that?
Huo Tianzheng shook his head: "There was no fight. Qi Zhicun backed down and suggested joining forces with General Pei to kill the Black Lake Jiao Venerable to offer as reparation, alleviating General Pei’s concerns. Zuoqiu Yi and Meng Tianrang died in vain. General Pei agreed to the plan. Now they are joining forces to kill the Black Lake Jiao Venerable.
Pei Shinan is also cunning. I guess this was his plan all along. After all, a real fight with the Divine Sword Sect would only result in the Black Lake Jiao Venerable gaining the upper hand, and countless residents of Tongzhou City would perish.
Not saying they can truly slay the Black Lake Jiao Venerable, but as long as they can severely injure him and force him to recuperate for a few years, Tongzhou can enjoy peace for some time."
Wei Fan nodded, understanding.
After all, the Tongzhou Demon Suppression Bureau isn’t Su City, lacking the absolute strength to crush the Divine Sword Sect. A clash would only benefit the Demon Fiends.
Perishing together with the Divine Sword Sect or giving them a chance to fight against the Black Lake Jiao Venerable? Pei Shinan would obviously choose the latter.
Once he has the time, he can slowly deal with the Divine Sword Sect in the future.
There’s no need to risk the lives of millions in Tongzhou for a momentary grudge.
"Although the matter is set aside, you must still be cautious in the future. This time, Qi Zhicun was caught off guard, failing to anticipate that you could kill Zuoqiu Yi. In anger, he lost focus and wasn’t prepared, leading to a compromise.
If he acts against you again, he will likely have a foolproof plan ready."
Huo Tianzheng laid out the pros and cons for Wei Fan. Pei Shinan was calculating, instigating Qi Zhicun, who wasn’t prepared, leading to Qi Zhicun’s compromise.
If he targets Wei Fan again, there won’t be such compromises in place.
Wei Fan remained expressionless: "By the time he’s ready, I might already be a Martial Venerable. Even if he doesn’t seek me out, I will go to settle today’s score!"
Huo Tianzheng’s eyelids twitched crazily. Given Wei Fan’s cultivation speed, it might actually happen.
Only those truly familiar with Wei Fan knew how terrifying his growth speed was.
When he joined the Demon Suppression Bureau, he was at the True Qi Ninth Layer. Now, in less than four months, he’s already at the Mid-Divine Realm. It seems becoming a Martial Venerable powerhouse is just a matter of months.
With Wei Fan’s murderous nature, even though Qi Zhicun didn’t act against him today, the feud is set. Once Wei Fan is powerful enough, he will surely settle today’s score!
"Qi Zhicun is finished!"
Such a thought emerged in Huo Tianzheng’s mind. Based on Jianghu’s unfounded rumors, the outside world couldn’t comprehend Wei Fan’s true fearfulness.
That single Golden Bell from Wei Fan could threaten a Martial Venerable, not to mention potential hidden powers.
Even someone like Huo Tianzheng, who witnessed Wei Fan’s growth, only realized in the Silver Moon Valley battle how terrifying Wei Fan’s weaponry was.
Had Qi Zhicun ventured to Suzhou today, who killed whom might still be uncertain.
He looked up at Wei Fan: "When do you plan to rescue that old fox Long Jianying? With the Garrison Commander and Prime Minister suppressing Tongzhou, we need him at the helm.
I’m already half-buried and can’t handle these messy affairs.
Moreover, when the Commander from the Capital City arrives, and finds that the Commander-in-Chief hasn’t appeared, he might suspect something is up.
The Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations should not be known to the world, or else you might miss the chance to obtain this unparalleled martial art."
Having Wei Fan rescue Long Jianying was Huo Tianzheng’s idea, and he knew Wei Fan had agreed to it.
Though a request for help, it’s also a fortune for Wei Fan.
If the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill is so terrifying, the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations must be even more powerful.
Wei Fan met Long Xueyi’s expectant gaze and said: "I want to prepare a bit more, probably setting out within half a month!"
[Ordinary Power: 12,000 years]
[Spirit Soul Power: 100 years]
Looking at the panel, the ordinary power of just 12,000 years feels inadequate.
He wants to prepare some spirit soul power as well. Since the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations isn’t a conventional martial art but specializes in the divine soul, spirit soul power might come in handy.
Should ordinary power be ineffective, having prepared spirit soul power could prevent a tragedy.
Preparing power requires slaying a batch of Demon Monarchs.
Currently, he only knows of a Golden Eagle Demon Monarch at Black Wind Ridge, and knows of no other Demon Monarchs, having only collected Black Python Demon Lord’s aura.
Yet what he lacks, Huo Tianzheng might have.
Having been a Demon Hunter all his life, Huo Tianzheng holds numerous demon auras, knowing exactly where Demon Monarchs still exist around Su City.
Huo Tianzheng didn’t ask what Wei Fan was preparing or why he didn’t prioritize saving Long Jianying over slaying demons first.
He looked at Wei Fan: "You can’t kill the Golden Eagle Demon Monarch right now; his presence is Su City’s greatest shield. Smashing Cyan Cloud Mountain and striking Black Wind Ridge, the Demon Race won’t allow unbridled expansion of the Human Race territories."
Previously, Su City wasn’t incapable of razing Cyan Cloud Mountain; only the situation called for restraint. Even when Long Jianying wasn’t trapped, Su City could have easily leveled Cyan Cloud Mountain.
The Demon Race has not just one Black Python Demon Lord; reckless offensives would spark a full-scale Human-Demon war.
"You can’t kill the Golden Eagle Demon Monarch, but you can slay them in other Commandery Cities. As a Divine Realm Demon Hunter, your battlefield isn’t confined to one area. I’ll send you and Xueyi with some demon aura energy as a breakthrough gift into the Divine Realm."
