Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 293 - 157: Unafraid of Any Demon Monarchs, the Water God Banner
Seeing Situ Feng again, his complexion had improved quite a bit, yet he had not returned to his peak form.
His previous injury likely involved his Divine Soul, otherwise, his aura wouldn’t still appear so drained.
Situ Feng invited Wei Fan and Long Xueyi to sit down, while Zhang Xianlong, lacking the status to sit in Situ Feng’s presence, hurriedly tended to serving tea.
"These beasts seem intent on killing me!"
Situ Feng clearly noticed the presence of Demon Monarchs nearby; if he were still at his peak, he naturally wouldn’t be afraid.
But on that day, he used his injured body to severely wound the Black Python Demon Lord, delivering a blow nurtured over several decades, severely depleting his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, making it impossible to recover in a short time.
Wei Fan shook his head: "No problem, we came to handle this matter. Commander Situ, if you have useful information, feel free to share it. Xueyi and I will consider it."
"This kid..."
Situ Feng felt a surge of shock in his heart.
Half a month ago, Wei Fan had to rely on him to exchange moves with the Black Python Demon Lord.
But now, Wei Fan could confidently utter such words in front of him.
However, he knew Wei Fan wasn’t conceited. Although he always guarded Black Wind City, he had heard about recent events, each achieving what they could never accomplish before.
Situ Feng said: "Across at Black Wind Ridge, there should be two Demon Monarchs — apart from the Golden Eagle Demon Monarch, there’s another whose true form is a White-bellied Eagle. The Golden Eagle Demon Monarch is at the late-stage Spirit Condensation, while the White Belly Demon Monarch should be at the mid-stage."
"In half a month, I’ve ascertained their situation, and they’ve probably figured out mine. If they intend to antagonize our Human Race, they’ll certainly be involved in this matter.
The Eagle Race claims dominance in the sky; their strength must be formidable."
Black Wind City had been established for half a month, yet the Eagle Race across the way remained inactive, leaving Situ Feng uncertain about their attitude toward the Human Race.
If the two Eagle Race Demon Monarchs joined the ambush, he felt he might soon meet He Tai Xian.
Wei Fan nodded; he hadn’t encountered bird-type Demon Fiends before and didn’t know if they were formidable.
Situ Feng continued: "Besides them, the White Tiger Demon Monarch and Cyan Snake Demon Monarch appeared nearby. When Cyan Cloud Mountain was razed, their offspring perished here, possibly seeking revenge for them."
He spread his palm; two lively Demon Monarch auras presented themselves, the same ones Wei Fan had sensed earlier. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"Snake-type Demon Fiends inherently clash with eagle-types, but they might join hands to eliminate me since this matter is for avenging Black Lake Jiao Venerable..."
After speaking further, no more valuable information emerged.
Wei Fan stood: "Waiting for enemies at the door is not my style. Commander Situ, you stay in Black Wind City, Xueyi and I will meet these Demon Monarchs."
This Black Wind City was painstakingly half-built; if those Demon Monarchs joined forces and charged in, a single collision wave could turn it to ruins.
Situ Feng raised an eyebrow: "Planning to strike proactively? In that case, I have a tactic."
Wei Fan and Long Xueyi turned their gaze to Situ Feng.
Situ Feng flipped his wrist, revealing a Divine Soldier he had tempered over decades: "This is my Divine Soldier nurtured with Essence, Qi, and Spirit for decades; it’s akin to myself. You can use it as bait to lure those beasts out."
Wei Fan shook his head: "No need. The White Tiger Demon Monarch and Cyan Snake Demon Monarch brazenly release their auras; we just need to head directly toward them."
With no target, Situ Feng’s strategy was feasible, but now Wei Fan had clear guidance from the White Tiger and Cyan Snake Demon Monarchs’ auras, making bait unnecessary.
Situ Feng said solemnly: "They might have set traps; the best way is to lure them away from their positions."
"No trap is effective; even if seven or eight Demon Monarchs ambushed me simultaneously, I’d be fearless, unless they brought a Demon Venerable!"
If there were a Demon Venerable, there’d be no need for tricks; they could directly storm into Su City.
Wei Fan turned and left, unknown to Situ Feng were his methods.
To him, fewer Demon Monarchs on the opposing side merely meant less satisfying combat.
Situ Feng sighed: "If you had Wei Fan’s courage, I’d die content."
Zhang Xianlong shook his head: "Master, you may die unsatisfied. It’s not that I lack his nerve but his strength; were I as unmatched as he, I’d have that courage too."
Situ Feng glared at Zhang Xianlong: "You insolent disciple, I regret not taking him as my disciple when his cultivation was low, always thinking I’d assess him first. During those assessments, he became mightier than me."
...
Long Xueyi followed closely behind Wei Fan, and they soon departed Black Wind City, disappearing into the forest.
Black Wind Ridge was vast, not a mere hill but sprawling nearly a hundred miles.
With Long Xueyi, they entered a region of towering peaks and cliffs, distinctly fitting for avian species.
"Poison miasma everywhere; no wonder it’s called Black Wind Ridge!"
Upon entering, Wei Fan realized the origin of the name Black Wind Ridge, where miasma appeared like black smoke veiling the ground.
Other than the flying birds, few ground-dwelling creatures were visible.
The two refrained from flying, proceeding on foot instead.
Though not fearing traps, flying straight in was unnecessary.
