Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 95 - 68: Encircling the Han Family, He Claims Mastery in Defense (Part 2)
Situ Ying pointed at the three men, including Wei Fan, and coldly looked at Guo Hongyi: "On their way back from Bamboo Sea County, they were ambushed and attacked by Wei Changqing. Speak, did you collude with Wei Changqing, or did you inadvertently reveal their whereabouts to someone else?"
Guo Hongyi’s pupils contracted violently; colluding with a Demon Fiend is a grave offense leading to family extermination.
He knew that he hadn’t colluded with Wei Changqing, but if he couldn’t explain it clearly, he would face interrogation experts from the Demon Suppression Bureau.
Even if he could explain it, it wouldn’t be without trouble.
"This humble officer has never colluded with Wei Changqing. I humbly ask you, my lord, to allow me some time to think!"
In an instant, Wei Fan and the others saw large beads of sweat on Guo Hongyi’s forehead.
He began to frown and ponder deeply and suddenly thought of Han Fei, whom he encountered the day Wei Fan and his companions left: "My lord, I remember, it was Han Fei..."
He quickly recounted the conversation between himself and Han Fei from that day.
Situ Ying’s expression remained icy cold: "You better be telling the truth. If there are any lies, you should be aware of the consequences."
Guo Hongyi hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he was speaking the truth.
"Take him away. Once Han Fei is interrogated, we will deal with you accordingly!"
Guo Hongyi turned pale as Zhang Wei led people to escort him away. Until the matter was clarified, he would be temporarily detained.
Even if it was proven that he had unintentionally leaked information, he could forget about advancing in the Demon Suppression Bureau; he wouldn’t even remain a captain.
Wei Fan stepped forward: "When I served as an Arrest Officer in Yun City, a person named Han Qian from the Su City Han Family attempted to assassinate me. I killed him and confiscated a Cold Moon Saber from him.
Earlier, when I was in the dining hall, Han Qian recognized the Cold Moon Saber and even tried to take it away!"
The cause and effect were now clear!
Personal enmity was no longer important; colluding with Wei Changqing was a capital offense leading to family extermination. Shan Jinhong’s funeral hadn’t even taken place, and people from the Demon Suppression Bureau had already conspired with Wei Changqing. If the Demon Suppression Bureau ignored this, who would dare to risk their lives for them in the future?
Wei Fan also didn’t know what would happen next.
Today’s events were also a test for Situ Ying, a test for the Demon Suppression Bureau.
"Could it be that Wei Changqing was really killed by him!"
Situ Ying’s heart was no longer calm.
Because he recognized Han Qian, a martial artist at the Fourth Level of Acupoint Opening.
Wei Fan said he killed Han Qian, meaning that when Wei Fan was at the True Qi Ninth Layer, he could take down a martial artist of the Fourth Level of Acupoint Opening.
These thoughts flashed through Situ Ying’s mind as he spoke coldly: "Someone, gather everyone and arrest all Han Family members in the Demon Suppression Bureau!"
He then tossed a token to Wei Fan: "Wei Fan, Li Fengyi, heed my order. With this command, mobilize two hundred soldiers to immediately surround the Han Family. If there is any resistance, aside from Han Fei, you may kill them on the spot!"
Other than needing Han Fei for interrogation to prove Guo Hongyi’s innocence, Situ Ying didn’t care about the lives of others. Resistance would only confirm suspicion.
Wei Fan caught the token: "I accept the order!"
He turned and left Situ Ying’s Captain’s Quarters, followed closely by Li Fengyi and Yu Hong.

Su City Han Family!
Even when Han Fei was resting at home, he didn’t give up practicing. Already at the age of thirty, he had reached the Acupoint Opening Seventh Layer, climbing to the level of a Purple-clothed Demon Suppression Guard in the Demon Suppression Bureau. He was the most gifted of his generation in the Han Family and the family’s hope.
Once he broke through to become a Celestial Being, the family would fully support him in achieving the position of Captain.
"Well? Have Li Fengyi and the others returned?"
Seeing his cousin Han Bai appear, Han Fei stopped his practice and asked.
Han Bai shook his head: "Li Fengyi, Yu Hong, and that Wei Fan have not returned to the Demon Suppression Bureau!"
Hearing this, Han Fei frowned: "How did Father and the others arrange matters? Did the people they sent accidentally kill Li Fengyi and Yu Hong as well?
It’s one thing to kill Yu Hong, but Li Fengyi is a disciple of the Floating Rain Sect; if she dies, the Floating Rain Sect will hold them accountable."
He had reported Wei Fan’s matter and had the family arrange for someone to avenge his fifth uncle Han Qian, retrieving the Cold Moon Saber. However, he had explicitly instructed them only to kill Wei Fan, not to harm Li Fengyi or Yu Hong.
Wei Fan had no background. If he died and the Demon Suppression Bureau found nothing after some time, they would naturally give up. But if Li Fengyi were involved, with the influence of the Floating Rain Sect, they wouldn’t let it go so easily.
If the Floating Rain Sect kept pursuing the matter, they might eventually trace it back to the Han Family, so Li Fengyi couldn’t be killed.
According to his calculations, if Li Fengyi and Yu Hong weren’t dead, they should have returned yesterday. Unexpectedly, they still hadn’t returned by now.
Han Bai said: "Perhaps they haven’t succeeded yet; otherwise, the Cold Moon Saber should have been returned by now. It’s a pity the family wouldn’t let me go; I really wanted to personally kill Wei Fan and avenge my fifth uncle. Had my uncle not insisted I escort them, it might have been me who was killed instead back then."
Han Fei shook his head: "With your cultivation level, going there would easily expose us. After all, it’s about killing people from the Demon Suppression Bureau, and if the Han Family is exposed, we’re all in trouble. I suspect the family hasn’t even sent our own people to kill Wei..."
Before Han Fei could finish saying "Fan," a servant came running in panic: "Young Master, something’s wrong, a group of people from the Demon Suppression Bureau has surrounded the mansion, you must go and see!"
Han Bai immediately felt his scalp tingle, having just discussed killing people from the Demon Suppression Bureau, and now the Demon Suppression Bureau had surrounded the mansion. Could it be that the people sent to kill Wei Fan failed, and the Demon Suppression Bureau was here to settle accounts?
"Quickly inform my father, I will go and see. This shouldn’t be related to Wei Fan’s matter!"
Despite being from the Demon Suppression Bureau, Han Fei remained relatively calm.
The conflict between the Han Family and Wei Fan was a personal vendetta, and even if exposed, the Demon Suppression Bureau wouldn’t make such a grand show of force.
Rushing out to the main gate, Han Fei saw Wei Fan commanding people to surround the Han Family.
Besides Wei Fan, he also saw Li Fengyi, Yu Hong, and a large number of Demon Suppression Guards under Situ Ying, all former colleagues, each looking at him with murderous intent.
