Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

The location of the Lu Family had long been reduced to scorched earth, with all the mountains either shattered or covered in cracks. The Immortal Three Divine Lands had already been shattered by the sound waves, losing their spirituality.

The Divine Que Attic, with its white jade-laid Great Dao, had vanished, leaving only a heap of ruins.

Li Jianchen’s white hair fluttered in the air, his aura calming down as his Sword Intent began to retract.

However, neither he nor Wei Fan dared to relax. From the direction of Jiangzhou City, a figure carrying a terrifying aura was rushing towards them. Whether it was friend or foe was still uncertain.

Apart from this figure, from other directions as well, terrifying auras were erupting, all heading toward this location.

Wei Fan took a step out of the Void World, standing side-by-side with Li Jianchen. As for Jiang Yujie, he had long since disappeared, not daring to approach the battlefield.

A few breaths later, the figure flying from Jiangzhou City arrived here.

His entire aura surged, shaking the heavens, stirring up a sky full of wild sand.

"Who are you, and what grudge did Lu Chenfeng have with you that you had to kill him?"

The newcomer was a middle-aged man, his aura even more daunting than Lu Chenfeng’s, angrily staring at the now-leveled Lu Family estate.

This man was also a Dharma Martial Saint but was not someone who had just entered the Dharma Realm; he had definitely been cultivating in this realm for many years. Wei Fan felt a wave of pressure, knowing that without employing other means, he was probably not a match for this man.

"And who might you be?"

His gaze swept over, with no response from the interface.

"I am Ding Xuhuai!" The middle-aged man announced a name.

Previously, Jiang Yujie had mentioned that the Vice Hall Master of the Demon Hunter Organization, who was on good terms with Lu Chenfeng, was named Ding Xuhuai.

"Is there something wrong with him?"

Li Jianchen transmitted sound to Wei Fan, thinking that if Ding Xuhuai also practiced the Absorption Technique with Lu Chenfeng, the situation in Jiangzhou would become troublesome, making it very likely that he and Wei Fan wouldn’t be able to exit Jiangzhou.

Wei Fan shook his head, the interface showing no reaction, which indicated that Ding Xuhuai hadn’t colluded with Lu Chenfeng.

"Ah, it’s Hall Master Ding. You’ve come at the right time. The Lu Family has fallen into the Demon Dao, raising women to practice the Absorption Technique. We request Hall Master Ding to immediately gather people to capture those of the Lu Family outside."

Upon these words from Li Jianchen, Ding Xuhuai’s expression subtly changed: "Are there such accusations? Do you have evidence? You’ve exterminated the Lu Clan, why bother slandering them further?"

Wei Fan raised an eyebrow: "Evidence, you say?"

He turned and grabbed the air, and with a boom, the ground beside the old site of the Lu Family was lifted, revealing a massive underground space.

In this space, there were over a hundred small houses built, each containing a woman. These women varied in age, all chained within the rooms.

"Well then, are we slandering?"

Wei Fan turned his gaze to Ding Xuhuai. This guy hadn’t colluded with Lu Chenfeng, but being good friends, he might go crazy seeking revenge for an old friend.

"Despicable beast!"

Ding Xuhuai’s expression went through several changes, finally cursing through gritted teeth. Wei Fan still wasn’t sure if Ding Xuhuai truly detested Lu Chenfeng’s deeds or if he was hiding his hatred.

After all, the place wasn’t far from Jiangzhou City, and many martial artists outside the city had already noticed the commotion here, watching from a distance.

With sufficient evidence, if Ding Xuhuai still chose to act, he wouldn’t just ruin himself unless he could kill everyone around.

"Where is the Territory Guardian War General? Immediately arrest everyone from the Lu Family for me!"

He turned towards Jiangzhou City and shouted, and immediately the Territory Guardian War Generals swarmed towards the Lu Family.

Li Jianchen pointed to a row of houses in the underground world behind him, "And these women, please have Hall Master Ding rescue them as well and send them home."

"There’s also the Xuan Guang Sect, and Lu Chenfeng was an Elder of Xuan Guang Sect. I suspect Xuan Guang Sect also has issues!"

As he spoke, another Saint Realm powerhouse who was rushing here had already arrived.

"Was it you who killed the Elder of my Xuan Guang Sect?"

This person looked at the ruin of the Lu Family, brimming with killing intent. Without wasting words, he sent a force sweeping towards Wei Fan and Li Jianchen from the sky.

Wei Fan glanced at the interface, which showed no reaction to this person, but since the person had already made a move, whether he practiced the Demon Skill was no longer important.

"Dharma Martial Saint!"

Li Jianchen’s Holy Sword was unsheathed, his Sword Intent tearing the sky. This person’s aura was even more terrifying than Lu Chenfeng’s; he wasn’t sure if Wei Fan could take him down.

"Let’s go together!"

He let out a long howl, first slashing out a Sword Aura.

The battle couldn’t occur on the ground; otherwise, the group of women being raised underground would die.

"You don’t distinguish right from wrong, you must be cut down!"

The Tiger Soul Saber appeared in his hand, and Wei Fan soared into the sky, breaking the Xuan Guang Sect master’s power with his body, engaging in close combat with the opponent.

The void shattered, and the three plunged into the Void World together.

Wei Fan was radiant, his Blood Qi boiling, Dao Marks floating out one by one, making him look like a human-shaped weapon.

"Boom!"

The Tiger Soul Saber emitted the undulations of a top-level Saint Soldier, and under his tremendous slashing force, one slash sent the man flying dozens of feet back, extinguishing the divine light on him, revealing a refined middle-aged man.

"Body Ascension, he is Wei Fan!"

Ding Xuhuai’s pupils contracted, deducing Wei Fan’s identity. Not only him but the martial artists observing from afar also guessed Wei Fan’s identity.

Because throughout the Eastern Domain, those who had achieved Body Ascension were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. In nearly a hundred years, Wei Fan was the sole person to achieve it.

Apart from Wei Fan, it was unlikely that someone from another Great Domain would come to Jiangzhou to kill.

"It’s Wei Fan!"

"I’ve always heard that Beiding Continent produced a Martial Saint more demonic than Xuanyuan Peak. Finally, I can see him today."

"Truly demonic; it seemed he just roared and killed Martial Saint Lu Chenfeng."

...

The martial artists of Jiangzhou were very excited. The Lu Family wasn’t good people; even if they hadn’t been involved in cultivating Demon Dao, they often bullied Jianghu Wanderers. These martial artists simply didn’t care whether they lived or died.

"Are you Wei Fan?"

The Martial Saint from Xuan Guang Sect’s expression changed, regretting acting rashly.

He was older than Lu Chenfeng, having lived for 1800 years and remained a Dharma Martial Saint, his talent naturally better than ordinary martial artists. But compared to a 19-year-old Saint Realm demon like Wei Fan, he was nothing.

He had caused a grudge with Wei Fan today; he couldn’t kill Wei Fan, so now had to wait for Wei Fan to kill him someday.

"Boom!"

Wei Fan said nothing, responding to the Xuan Guang Sect Martial Saint with only one strike.

The Four Symbols Illusion appeared, merging into the Tiger Soul Saber with incredible Sword Intent carrying the Momentum of creation, slashing through, breaking the divine light on the Xuan Guang Sect Martial Saint’s body and carving a sword mark on him.

"Silent Extinction Slash!"

At the same time, Li Jianchen’s roar sounded, his silver hair dancing wildly.

"White-haired Sword Saint Li Jianchen!"

The Xuan Guang Sect Martial Saint exclaimed, his attention focused on Wei Fan, directly ignoring Li Jianchen who was with Wei Fan.

He had once visited the Holy City and knew of Li Jianchen as a person. Though not as universally feared as Wei Fan, his name was also notable among Saint Realm powerhouses, being one of the demons of the Holy City and also a Town Territory Envoy of the Demon Hunter Organization, his background was unusual.

However, he was already too late to notice Li Jianchen; Li Jianchen united with Dao, taking advantage of his Protective Power being hacked away by Wei Fan and slashed out the peak level sword stroke.

The supreme Sword Intent ruptured the Void World, the True Intent of Silent Extinction Slash seemed as though it would destroy all things.

A grey Sword Aura sliced through the void, striking the Xuan Guang Sect Martial Saint with a resounding crack.

There was no scene of blood splatter; the area struck on the Xuan Guang Sect Martial Saint turned black instantly, as if poisoned, withering away.

Wei Fan was somewhat moved; even he hadn’t anticipated Li Jianchen’s Sword Intent being this terrifying, aimed specifically at destroying vitality.

"Boom!"

Li Jianchen was squeezed out by the Sword Dao, unable to continue uniting with Dao. His aura weakened significantly.

"Leave the rest to you!"

He showed a bitter smile, that peak level sword strike only injured the Dharma Martial Saint without causing a lethal blow.

This was in cooperation with Wei Fan, if not for Wei Fan first breaking the Protective Dao Power of the Xuan Guang Sect Martial Saint, his sword strike wouldn’t have harmed him.

"He won’t live!"

Wei Fan charged forth with the Tiger Soul Saber, continuing to battle the Xuan Guang Sect Martial Saint.

"It’s all a misunderstanding, please stop!"

The Xuan Guang Sect Martial Saint’s expression changed, his scalp tingling. His Will Power needed to expel the Silent Sword Intent of Li Jianchen while also resisting Wei Fan, whose body is ascended to saintly levels, proving extremely difficult.

The key point was that Wei Fan and Li Jianchen’s identities being revealed, meant they represented more than themselves; the Demon Hunter Organization. Even if he could fight them, he dared not kill the Town Territory Envoy of the Demon Hunter Organization.

The matter with the Lu Family was clearly not a personal vendetta but the Town Territory Envoy of the Demon Hunter Organization was exterminating demons.

"So when you can’t win, it becomes a misunderstanding? So many women being imprisoned, are you blind not to see? Lu Chenfeng is an Elder of Xuan Guang Sect; perhaps you were involved too."

Wei Fan’s Sword Intent tore through the void, each slash was fiercer than the last.

He was a Sacred Body powerhouse of the Saint Realm, his physical form terrifyingly strong, similar to the robustness of Middle-Level Saint Soldiers. He didn’t need to defend against the Xuan Guang Sect Martial Saint’s attacks, completely adopting a life-for-life tactic.

Moreover, his Battle Intent grew ever more ardent, whereas the Xuan Guang Sect Martial Saint fought with restraint, his Battle Intent steadily declining.

"Wei Fan, please stop!" Ding Xuhuai shouted out: "This matter has nothing to do with Elder Yuan!"

Wei Fan’s attack power equated to the Xuan Guang Sect Martial Saint. However, Wei Fan’s Sacred Body grants him endurance, he could battle for days and nights without issue, continuing onward would exhaust Elder Yuan of the Xuan Guang Sect to death.

"Is it unrelated to him? So you know about the Lu Family’s cultivation of Demon Skill?"

Wei Fan did not grant face to Ding Xuhuai, throwing a grand accusation on him, leaving Ding Xuhuai speechless immediately.

If he dared continue pleading for Elder Yuan, asserting the matter was unrelated to him, it would indicate he knew about the Lu Family’s Demon Skill cultivation. Typically knowing such things would implicate no one, but for someone like Ding Xuhuai, the Sub-Palace Master of the Demon Hunter Organization, losing his position might be the least of his worries, more likely being permanently imprisoned.

Soon, Wei Fan blasted out Elder Yuan’s Dharma Aspect, beginning to battle him fiercely.

Wei Fan simultaneously used Celestial Dragon’s Roar and Four Symbols Heaven-Sundering Slash, within breaths smashing Elder Yuan’s Dharma Aspect.

Once the Dharma Aspect broke, Elder Yuan’s death was assured.

Wei Fan charged forth, the Tiger Soul Saber pinning the bleeding Elder Yuan dead in the Void World.

"Elder Yuan of Xuan Guang Sect is dead too!"

With Elder Yuan died, all martial artists of Jiangzhou were shaken, all watching Wei Fan in awe, like a War God.

It had been less than two months since they heard of the demon Wei Fan, yet Wei Fan already possessed the power to kill a Dharma Martial Saint, demonically terrifying.

"Fortunately I wasn’t impulsive earlier!"

Ding Xuhuai’s back was drenched in cold sweat, as a Martial Saint, he was acutely aware of how extraordinary Wei Fan’s achievements of killing Lu Chenfeng and Elder Yuan were.

Achieving saint status in two months, killing Dharma Martial Saint, even the Martial Emperor couldn’t compare at a younger age.
