Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 302 - 161: Black Lake Jiao Venerable’s Scheming and Saving Long Jianying (Part 2)
Though the inference process was incorrect, the result was right, since Wei Fan indeed mastered the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, inadvertently proving the Black Lake Jiao Venerable correct.
Ao Qiang continued: "When I met Father King, I received the latest news that Wei Fan went to Jiuhua County and killed the Black Python Demon Lord and Cyan Snake Demon Monarch, while the Jade Mouse Demon Monarch narrowly escaped. Now, all members of the Demon Heaven Alliance fear this Killing God and have fled."
He counted carefully, and within a short period, seven demon lords had fallen at Wei Fan’s hands. Even though the demon lords of the Demon Race outnumber the human Race Grandmaster, they cannot withstand Wei Fan’s slaughter.
Black Lake Jiao Venerable’s face darkened, as a burst of golden light surged over him, and he sighed heavily: "Let all demon lords withdraw, let this matter end here. Without the Demon Venerable, no demon lord would be an opponent for someone who has mastered the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, the Horizontal Cultivation of Innate!"
Unless he is willing to send his last late-stage Spirit Condensation descendant armed with top divine soldiers to kill Wei Fan.
But the top divine soldiers are something he wouldn’t risk easily, even daring not to risk his last late-stage Spirit Condensation son.
Pei Shinan has been watching here all the while since Ao Jin managed to escape to Black Wind Ridge, even risking to create disturbances to attract Pei Shinan’s attention repeatedly; Pei Shinan is no fool.
Now he probably knows that the previous commotion was just sending his son to kill Wei Fan. If they try again, Pei Shinan might employ a counter-strategy, and the son would likely not return.
"Moreover, inform the demons everywhere not to continue attacking the human defenses, bear with it!"
Black Lake Jiao Venerable reluctantly endures.
An unnecessary escalation would do him no good; if the demons across regions are swept away by humans, he, the Demon Venerable, will be held accountable. Tongzhou, this coveted territory, has long attracted other Demon Venerables.
The severity of his injuries is still unknown to the outside, but if the demons’ territory is tread upon by humans, and he doesn’t show up, everyone would know he’s finished.
Ao Qiang nodded: "I will send the message now!"
A sinister smile appeared on Black Lake Jiao Venerable’s face: "The Demon Race can’t kill Wei Fan, so let the human race do it, spread the word outside and expose the reason for Fu Shizheng’s betrayal of the human race, I want everyone to know Wei Fan possesses the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill."
Eventually, human experts from all over will come to hunt down Wei Fan, I’d like to see how he is pursued by the human experts!"
Though the supreme medicine of Horizontal Cultivation of Innate remains elusive, Wei Fan won’t have an easy time.
Watching Ao Qiang leave, the light on Black Lake Jiao Venerable shattered, revealing bloodied wounds as the two arms that rested on his thighs disappeared.
The previous scene was merely an illusion created to maintain his majesty before his offspring.
His injuries are far more terrifying than anyone could imagine.
With the disappearance of illusion techniques, Black Lake Jiao Venerable’s abdomen and back were pierced with fearful wounds, even the heart missing half, if not for the robust life force of a Demon Venerable and the Immortal Golden Body, such injuries would have already claimed a demon lord’s life.
"Without the supreme medicine of Horizontal Cultivation of Innate, it seems I must dare to venture to that place..."
Black Lake Jiao Venerable stood up, slipped out of the cave, and disappeared into the depths of the black lake!
...
Leaving Jiuhua County, Wei Fan and Long Xueyi found that demon lords of the Demon Heaven Alliance had vanished, thus they returned to Su City with Long Xueyi.
Descending from the sky, before they landed, two figures clad in Profound Gold Fish Scale Armor soared in.
"So it’s you two, I thought it was some bold demon fiends daring to kill their way into the Demon Suppression Bureau!"
Wei Fan noticed it was Yue Chengwu and an unfamiliar middle-aged man; it was Yue Chengwu who spoke.
Wei Fan raised an eyebrow: "You must be the new commander?"
Seeing the attire of Yue Chengwu and this man, Wei Fan instantly knew that the commander dispatched to the Demon Suppression Bureau was two.
Judging from their aura, Yue Chengwu had also broken through to the Divine Realm.
Back then he dared to sweep through Tongzhou, not just relying on background, but he indeed possessed real skill, not merely acting like a progeny with connections.
Divine Realm Martial Sect requires not only resources but true skill.
"Correct!"
Yue Chengwu grinned: "I’m now one of Su City’s people, I hope Brother Wei and Sister Xueyi will take care of me, we have taken your commander position, hope you won’t mind!"
Wei Fan could hardly believe such words.
Being a young noble of the Capital City, Victory King’s brother-in-law, coming to a place like Su City is likely to seek honor, they probably wouldn’t stay long.
Wei Fan shook his head: "I’m not interested in being a commander, it’s more free being a Demon Hunter!"
Yue Chengwu agreed with a nod: "I also don’t want to be a commander, unfortunately my family won’t allow it!"
His brother-in-law Victory King wants to contest for the throne, needing supporters in violent institutions like the Demon Suppression Bureau that manage martial powers.
Not achieving Divine Realm is fine, as even if he wanted to contribute, he wouldn’t have the qualifications.
Being in Divine Realm, not contributing is not an option.
He pointed at the man beside him: "Come, let me introduce you. This is Commander Hong Shixian, taking the position of Grand Commander!"
Hong Shixian was a middle-aged man, with a stable temperament, possessing mid-Divine Realm power.
Following Yue Chengwu’s words, he clasped his hands toward Wei Fan and Long Xueyi.
Yue Chengwu continued: "Commander Hong, these two are Su City’s Divine Realm Demon Hunters, you must have heard before, he is now the famed Horizontal Cultivation of Innate Wei Fan, who slew Divine Sword Sect’s Zuoqiu Yi!"
Hong Shixian surveyed Wei Fan carefully, his eyes showed curiosity and solemnity: "I am Hong Shixian, met Brother Wei!"
Though older in age, he showed no sign of arrogance before Wei Fan.
Traveling with Yue Chengwu from the Capital City, along the way, he heard most about Wei Fan’s battle with Zuoqiu Yi.
"Met Commander Hong!" Wei Fan returned the gesture.
Yue Chengwu pointed to Long Xueyi: "This is Long Xueyi, the Commander of Su City’s Demon Suppression Bureau is her grandfather, the Long Family and my Yue Family are also long acquaintances!"
While exchanging greetings, they descended from the sky to the ground.
Hong Shixian was evidently not a talkative person; after landing, he left, stating he had matters to attend, leaving Yue Chengwu, Wei Fan, and Long Xueyi.
Seeing Hong Shixian leave, Yue Chengwu whispered: "Brother Wei, how did you end up on Garrison Commander Zhang Juzheng’s bad side?"
Wei Fan and Long Xueyi exchanged glances, curious: "Really? Zhang Juzheng’s intention to target me is known to everyone?"
Yue Chengwu shook his head: "Not exactly, but before I took my position in Su City, Zhang Juzheng’s men approached me to ask to keep an eye on your movements and gather your information. I assumed you offended him."
He quickly added: "Don’t misunderstand, Brother Wei. I refused, with our relationship, how could I agree to others to oppose you!"
A sharp look passed through Wei Fan’s eyes: "It’s just some trivial matters!"
This Zhang Juzheng hasn’t given up, seeking Yue Chengwu to shadow him, Yue Chengwu refused, then what about Hong Shixian? Did Zhang Juzheng’s men approach Hong Shixian as well?
Was he like Yue Chengwu who refused, or did he agree?
Yue Chengwu was smart, realizing Wei Fan did not wish to delve deeper, nor did he intend to inquire further, as matters of Zhang Juzheng were beyond his interference: "Be careful, I heard from Victory King that Zhang Juzheng is extremely insidious, his underlings commit despicable acts, and among the three Garrison Commanders of the Demon Suppression Bureau, he is the one with least consideration for saving face.
In Su City, they can’t affect you, but once you travel to the Capital City, you must be cautious."
After chatting further, Yue Chengwu also took his leave, he wasn’t like Wei Fan as a Deputy Commander, he had many matters to manage, while Wei Fan and Long Xueyi were Deputy Commanders, in reality, most matters were handled by Chen Qiming.
Watching Yue Chengwu depart, Wei Fan turned to Long Xueyi: "I’m ready, we can leave anytime to rescue the Commander!"
[Ordinary Power: 45,000 years]
[Spirit Soul Power: 230 years]
He glanced at the panel, knowing if forty-five thousand years of power couldn’t cultivate Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations, perhaps more wouldn’t help.
Long Xueyi trembled with excitement reflected in her eyes.
She never urged Wei Fan, but inside, she was indeed anxious: "Find Grandmaster Huo, he hasn’t told me where Grandpa is trapped to avoid me risking myself to rescue him!"
