Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 58 - 55: Female Knight Wei Hongying, Marries a Demon as Wife
In the residential area of the Demon Suppression Bureau Combat Battalion, Wei Fan, Ning Xuan, and Su Xuerong, dressed in black, made Li Fengyi, who was walking with them, stand out prominently.
"It’s your first mission, so don’t be nervous. Just watch how we handle things when the time comes. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
The mission shouldn’t be dangerous, or it wouldn’t just be Su Guangwen and the three of us taking you three newcomers."
Speaking, Li Fengyi glanced at Wei Fan: "You’re still at the True Qi Ninth Layer, so if there’s a battle, try not to get involved. Just watch us fight, that goes for you two as well!"
She looked at Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong: "You have only opened two or three acupoints, so during the battle, try your best not to intervene. Your safety is the greatest help to us.
This time, focus on gaining experience and feel the atmosphere of battling demons."
Su Guangwen took the conversation and said to Su Xuerong: "Don’t worry, with me here, nothing will happen!"
Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong opened their mouths, but in the end, didn’t know what to say.
Compared to Li Fengyi and the others, they indeed had less experience fighting demons.
But Wei Fan single-handedly defeated the demons around Yun City; to say he lacked combat experience with demons would be somewhat incorrect.
After walking for a while, they quickly saw Peng Mingjie leading a few war horses.
These war horses were light and agile, with smooth muscle lines and spots on their bodies, and most notably, they had teeth resembling sharp spikes.
From a distance, it would be easy to mistake them for cheetahs.
Wei Fan was a bit surprised: "Is this thing called a war horse? It must need to eat meat every meal."
As Peng Mingjie divided the horses among them, he said: "They do eat meat, not grass.
The Demon Suppression Bureau has frequent and sometimes urgent missions, covering possibly hundreds of miles in a day, ordinary horses simply don’t have such endurance, and their speed is greatly reduced.
Later, some people caught several True Realm Horse Demons and other speed-specialized demons to breed these war horses.
If these war horses run at full speed, they can cover over a hundred miles in an hour, their stamina and speed are unmatched by ordinary horses.
Sis, we can set off now!"
Saying this, he turned back to look at Li Fengyi.
"Set off for Baiyun Village in Wangshan Town!"
The group didn’t ride the war horses; their mission was not urgent, and riding in the city would disturb the citizens.
Moreover, the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Bureau wasn’t far from the city gate, they could walk out of the city in a short time.
Ning Xuan was surprised and said: "Wangshan Town isn’t close, even these war horses need one or two hours of continuous running to reach there. What’s the mission this time, Sis?"
The sky wasn’t early anymore, by the time they reached Wangshan Town it would be almost dark, and after finishing the task, Su City would have closed its gates, so they wouldn’t be able to return today and could only stay overnight in Wangshan Town.
Li Fengyi said: "Our Shan Jinhong Captain has four teams under his command. Seven days ago, one team member, Jiang Feng, took a four-day leave to visit his family. When the four days were up, he didn’t return to duty.
Two days later, their captain reported the issue. The Internal Affairs Camp sent someone to Baiyun Village for inquiries, but the person sent also lost contact.
Their team went on a mission yesterday and hasn’t returned yet. Now we need to find out if something happened to Jiang Feng and why. If he was harmed, we need to avenge him.
The mission might seem simple, but it could also be very dangerous.
In any case, the three of you listen, once we leave the city, be wary and cautious of anyone we meet.
The demons are resentful towards the Demon Suppression Bureau, they’d devour us if they could."
The implication was that Jiang Feng was likely harmed by demons.
"Baiyun Village, I remember hearing about this place!" Su Xuerong suddenly frowned and spoke.
Su Guangwen said: "What’s so strange about having heard of it?"
Su Xuerong was still frowning: "Brother, don’t interrupt my thoughts, I need to recall where I’ve heard of Baiyun Village... Su City governs twelve cities, 182 large towns, and countless villages, why would I have heard of Baiyun Village?"
Suddenly, Su Xuerong’s eyes lit up: "I remember now, after Wei Hongying the Female Knight got married and retired, she seemed to have secluded herself in a place called Baiyun Village."
Su Guangwen revealed a disgusted expression: "Your most admired Wei Hongying?"
Su Xuerong nodded: "Yes, but it’s unclear if it’s the Baiyun Village we’re heading to."
Li Fengyi’s expression relaxed, and she said: "As far as I know, the area under Su City’s jurisdiction only has one place called Baiyun Village. If Wei Hongying retired there, our mission becomes much easier."
Ning Xuan leaned over and explained Wei Hongying’s background to Wei Fan: "Brother Wei, you don’t know about Wei Hongying? She was a renowned heroine in Yun City’s Jianghu, once chasing a demon for a thousand miles, pursuing it for three days and three nights before finally slaying it with her sword.
She was known for her righteousness and left behind a legacy of heroism.
Later, she met a man she loved and decisively left the Jianghu to live a secluded life, admired by many women in Su City."
Hearing Ning Xuan talk about her idol, Wei Hongying, Su Xuerong also excitedly chimed in: "Although Wei Hongying never joined the Demon Suppression Bureau, her talent surpassed many within the Bureau.
It is said that she could hold thirty years’ worth of True Qi in her Dantian when she was in the True Qi Realm. If she hadn’t retired, she would have eventually become a Celestial Expert!"
Wei Fan nodded slightly, her Dantian holding thirty years of True Qi, such talent was just a notch below the monsters of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
At Acupoint Opening First Layer, Wei Hongying’s Dantian combined with her acupoint’s True Qi could reach 150 years, while at Acupoint Opening Second Layer, it could reach 270 years.
