Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 224 - 123: The Cyan Bull Demon Monarch’s Revenge, Setting Out for the Capital (Part 2)

Chapter 224: Chapter 123: The Cyan Bull Demon Monarch’s Revenge, Setting Out for the Capital (Part 2)

If her brother were still around, he probably would have married Yue Chengwu’s sister.

Wei Fan nodded lightly, understanding the relationship between the two families.

Aside from insisting on a challenge, this guy actually doesn’t have many problems.

"This horse is too slow. At this speed, it won’t reach the Capital City in twenty days!"

Yue Chengwu was dissatisfied with the speed of the horse beneath him.

Even though this was already a fine horse, its speed and stamina were inferior to war horses.

Long Xueyi said, "There are no good horses for sale in Su City. We’ll change to better war horses once we reach Tongzhou!"

Wei Fan roughly knew that even if they changed to top-notch war horses and traveled day and night, it would take half a month to reach the Capital City.

This was only because their cultivation was strong enough to endure the journey; for ordinary people, it might take one or two months to leave Su City and reach the Capital City.

In Su City, only the Demon Suppression Bureau had top-quality war horses. Even wealthy people couldn’t buy them, and ordinary people couldn’t afford to keep them.

However, it’s said that in Tongzhou, there are even better Demon Horses than those of the Demon Suppression Bureau, capable of truly traveling a thousand miles a day.

Three days later, a magnificent and grand giant city appeared before them, lying on the land like a giant beast. Compared to it, Su City was insignificant.

As they got closer, Wei Fan even felt his heart spirit become uncomfortable, as a terrifying pressure came upon him.

"These state cities are generally built to conform to the great trends of Heaven and Earth, possessing immeasurable mighty power. Humans are fortunate; those with profound cultivation feel some pressure at most, but Demons can’t even approach and will be crushed by the great trend several kilometers away. Concentrated Spirit and below, no Demons or Ghosts can approach such a great city."

Wei Fan was somewhat shocked that a great city could possess such power.

A place like Su City was truly just a backward area.

It is precisely because of these things that the Human Race has continued to grow stronger. Otherwise, if powerful Demons infiltrate such great cities, countless people would die.

"It’s not just about conforming to the great trend. When building such great cities, masters are invited to arrange the earth veins, various Divine Soldiers are buried at key nodes to form a Grand Array, and over generations, masters have infused their will power, creating such mighty power."

"You’ll realize what a true great city is when you arrive at the Capital City. Even Concentrated Spirit Demon Fiends won’t dare approach within ten miles. If they get close to ten miles, though not crushed to death, their true form will manifest."

Yue Chengwu spoke eloquently.

To the Capital City, Tongzhou is also considered a backwater.

Among the thirty-eight states of the Great Victory Dynasty, Tongzhou ranks last. Because it’s on the front line of contact with Demons, its economy and culture are lacking.

The three dismounted and quickly entered Tongzhou City.

Riding horses is also prohibited here, so the three found a horse shop and sold their horses before heading to the Tongzhou Demon Suppression Bureau.

Long Xueyi and Yue Chengwu had been to the Tongzhou Demon Suppression Bureau before, so it didn’t take the three long to reach the government office of the Tongzhou Demon Suppression Bureau.

Like in Su City, the government office of the Tongzhou Demon Suppression Bureau is also set up close to the city gate for convenience in executing tasks.

Don’t be fooled by Tongzhou City’s mighty power; it doesn’t mean there’s no demon calamity here. In fact, the demon calamities here are more severe than in Su City; otherwise, Elder Huo would not have personally dealt with the Cyan Cloud Mountain incident.

Showing their Demon Hunter Waist Tokens, they entered the Tongzhou Demon Suppression Bureau and quickly found Liu Xingbin. Like Elder Huo, Liu Xingbin was also an old man, seeming to be in his seventies.

But with Elder Huo’s example, Wei Fan dared not truly regard him as just a normal old man. This might be a monster who has lived for two or three hundred years.

"Please wait a moment!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

After carefully verifying the warrants of Wei Fan and Long Xueyi, Liu Xingbin turned away and soon returned with two new warrants, handing them to Wei Fan and Long Xueyi.

"Are the three of you willing to undertake a convenient task?" Liu Xingbin suddenly asked.

He didn’t know Wei Fan and Long Xueyi’s identities, and they weren’t mentioned in their warrants either.

However, he recognized Yue Chengwu; this guy’s first stop in Tongzhou was to seek help from the Demon Suppression Bureau to arrange a challenge.

Yue Chengwu spoke first, "What task?"

Liu Xingbin shook his head, "You have to agree before I can tell you what the task is!"

Yue Chengwu looked at Wei Fan and Long Xueyi and said, "I’m not interested; what about you?"

Wei Fan and Long Xueyi shook their heads together; agreeing first to know what needs to be done—the task definitely isn’t simple. Although it might be convenient, for them, who have already decided to enter the Gathering God Space, the task is certainly dangerous.

Wei Fan and Long Xueyi didn’t want any complications and just wanted to reach the Capital City as soon as possible.

"Then I won’t keep the three of you!"

Liu Xingbin didn’t entangle them further, and Wei Fan and the three of them left.

The three did not immediately leave Tongzhou; after traveling for three days and nights, they planned to rest for a night before continuing their journey.

The next day, the three spent several thousand taels of silver to buy top-quality Demon Horses and left Tongzhou City.

These Demon Horses were indeed impressive. Unlike the war horses of the Demon Suppression Bureau, which appeared normal except for their teeth, these Demon Horses had full body scale armor, sharp teeth, and their robust qi blood was comparable to Body Refining Martial Artists. They ran as if swept by a gale, with strong recovery power—after being tired, they merely required elixirs or flesh to rejuvenate quickly.

Three days later, as the three journeyed through a forest, the sound of fighting suddenly came from ahead, and simultaneously, the three felt the Power of Heaven and Earth fluctuating.

Yue Chengwu quickly said, "At least Celestial Human Ninth Layer individuals are battling, and it’s more than just one or two!"

Long Xueyi nodded slightly, "Keep going, don’t interfere!"

They didn’t sense the aura of Demons, which meant the fighting individuals were all from the Human Race. In this situation, they had no need to intervene.

The three continued forward, soon witnessing two groups clashing on the main road.

Amidst the overwhelming dust, the main road had already collapsed, and surrounding trees toppled in a wave.

In the dust, they could vaguely see a group of people wearing white masks, led by a person with a red mask, encircling a normally dressed group. Among them, a man was being protected by several people trying to break out, but each attempt was repelled.

"Folks, their target is me; you should flee!"

After repeated failed attempts to break out, watching his protectors grow fewer, Tang Xiao couldn’t help but despair.

He felt destined to die today; there was no need to drag down those protecting him.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiao looked towards the red mask person and shouted, "Stop, what you want is me; let them go, and I’ll surrender willingly!"

The people fighting around paused for a moment, but the conflict quickly resumed, and the red mask person’s sinister voice echoed, "You will die, they will die; no one will survive!"

Tang Xiao’s expression changed. Even if he planned to submit himself, these people wouldn’t spare his protectors.

A blinding light shone in his eyes as the red mask person swung a sword aura over ten meters long.

"Half-Step Divine Realm!"

Under the frightening aura tension, he, possessing only Celestial Human Seventh Level Cultivation, felt as if a boulder weighed upon his back, and his heart spirit was about to shatter. The surrounding guards leaped up but were flung away by the sword aura before reaching it.

While his side had experts, they were already tied up by the opponents’ experts.

Seeing the sword aura about to strike him dead, Tang Xiao despaired. At that moment, a fist struck from the side, shattering the sword aura instantly.

His view shifted, and a man appeared in front of him.

"A Body Refining expert; he saved me!"

Tang Xiao relaxed in his heart, realizing that there were two others outside the battlefield, seemingly aligned with his rescuer.

The sudden change paused the two sides’ battle. The black-clad withdrew together, and those protecting Tang Xiao returned to his side.

Yue Chengwu asked puzzledly, "Didn’t we agree not to interfere? Why did he suddenly step in?"

The one who had suddenly intervened and saved Tang Xiao was naturally Wei Fan.

Long Xueyi said, "The one protected in the middle is Tang Xiao; we have some connection with him!"

Tang Xiao was none other than the person Wei Fan and Long Xueyi met in Nanshan Town. When Wei Fan and Long Xueyi were besieged by Blood Cloud Sect, Tang Xiao helped resist the Blood Cloud Sect’s forces.

If Wei Fan hadn’t intervened, she planned to step in herself.
