Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

"How dare you! A mere Demon Fiend dares to provoke the Human Race Martial Saints in Celestial Star City!"

"Does it think Wei Fan can’t wield a sword anymore?"

The crowds surged in Celestial Star City; countless martial artists floated upward, soaring into the sky.

As the First Layer city of the Beiding Continent’s Human Race, apart from some local residents, the worst who could arrive here were Divine Realm Martial Sect members for whom flying was a trifling matter.

In an instant, shadows filled the sky above Celestial Star City, all gazing toward the outskirts.

Demon Qi surged like an inky sea, covering the sky and earth. Saint Realm fluctuations permeated the air, creating terrifying ripples in the void, and the entire Celestial Star City began to glow.

Only to see, dozens of miles outside Celestial Star City, in the sky, two shadowy figures filled with Demon Qi stood in the void, constantly emitting Demon Qi to provoke the city’s Mighty Power.

"Boom!"

From deep within Celestial Star City, at the site of the Demon Hunter Hall, a terrible aura emerged, followed by two figures turning into streams of light flying outside the city.

"It’s Hall Master Gu and Hall Master Zhou!"

Someone recognized the identities of the two figures and rejoiced. With these two present, the Demon Fiend cannot cause much trouble.

In the next moment, the light dissipated, revealing Gu Qingshan and Zhou Shen.

"Three-Eyed Toad Saint, you come to Celestial Star City flaunting yourself, do you think I, Gu Mou, cannot do anything to you?"

Gu Qingshan’s voice resounded, mixed with a hint of anger.

"Three-Eyed Toad Saint?"

Many showed puzzled expressions, having never heard this name, yet someone quickly explained.

This Three-Eyed Toad Saint is not a Demon Fiend of Beiding Continent but a powerful Demon Saint from Jinzhou, having lived for over two thousand years, extremely terrifying.

It’s said the Three-Eyed Toad Saint’s true form is the legendary Golden Toad, whose bloodline mutated to birth a third vertical eye, thus named Three-Eyed Toad Saint.

His third eye is incredibly formidable, possessing strange abilities, nearly invincible in Jinzhou, intimidating even the Demon Hunter Organization there.

Everyone showed a sudden realization expression, no wonder he dared invade Human Race territory and provoke Celestial Star City.

"Gu Qingshan, you’re nothing much, Qilin Ape Saint that waste is what kept you alive these years. If you’re interested, this Saint will exchange some moves with you later."

The Three-Eyed Toad Saint looked extremely ugly; even in human form, his body was covered in lumps emitting a foul stench.

Especially his mouth, extending to his ears, looked extremely frightening.

Regarding the person beside him, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, a jade-like face, dressed in white, he seemed like a cultivated gentleman, without a hint of any Demon Fiend features, even showing a slight distaste facing the Three-Eyed Toad Saint’s stench; yet, this expression did not anger the Three-Eyed Toad Saint.

This scene fell into everyone’s eyes, secretly stunning them; if this white-clothed man wasn’t stronger than the Three-Eyed Toad Saint, then he must have a background the Three-Eyed Toad Saint couldn’t provoke.

"Then let’s do it now!"

Terrifying aura steamed off Gu Qingshan, shattering the void.

The Three-Eyed Toad Saint shook his head: "Don’t rush, there’s time to fight, have Wei Fan of the Demon Hunter Organization come out; today, we are here to kill him."

Zhou Shen sneered: "You want to kill Wei Fan? You invade Human Race territory, intending to kill a Demon Hunter Organization member, do you think we are vegetarians."

Ordinary people may not see it, but an experienced Saint Realm like him could discern that the man accompanying the Three-Eyed Toad Saint was merely a Pathway Condensing Demon Saint. Joining forces with Gu Qingshan, both the Three-Eyed Toad Saint and that white-clothed man stand no chance.

The Three-Eyed Toad Saint showed disdain: "You can try to make a move; don’t blame this Saint for not warning you, this is only between us and Wei Fan. If you act, then it becomes a matter between the Human Race and Profound Crane Sect, and the ensuing unfavorable consequences may be beyond your capacity to bear."

Gu Qingshan and Zhou Shen’s pupils contracted at the words, instantly realizing the white-clothed man’s identity.

"Have Wei Fan come out; Profound Crane Sect doesn’t wish to interfere with Beiding Continent’s matters, but please refrain from meddling in our enmity with Wei Fan, otherwise the repercussions are beyond your ability to bear."

The white-clothed man spoke coldly; they only intended to kill Wei Fan, not desiring genuine conflict with Gu Qingshan. Despite having Profound Crane Sect backing, should Gu Qingshan eliminate him, even if Profound Crane Sect razed Beiding Continent afterward, what would it accomplish?

"Since you say so, Gu Mou must see what consequences I cannot bear. At worst, your Profound Crane Sect could invite Imperial Soldiers to destroy me, Gu Qingshan. But if you dare, our Human Race has Imperial Soldiers too."

Gu Qingshan’s face darkened; he was not one to fear trouble. Most Hall Masters, contemplating the potential war impact on ordinary people, might swallow their pride, but not him. Constant yielding only allows Demon Fiends to take inches and demand miles.

He belonged to the decisive type; as long as it did not contradict Demon Hunter Organization rules, he would dare act. Moreover, he couldn’t stand by watching Three-Eyed Toad Saint and this Profound Crane Sect disciple trouble Wei Fan.

"Gu Qingshan, it’s Young Master He who comes to kill Wei Fan; if you wish to make a move, this Saint shall accompany you." Three-Eyed Toad Saint spoke.

He made it clear that he wouldn’t act against Wei Fan; the matter solely between Wei Fan and Profound Crane Sect.

He was primarily invited by Young Master He as an intimidating powerhouse, fearing Gu Qingshan might resort to a cheap shot, hence the company.

Profound Crane Sect sought vengeance for its disciple, not needing aid from other Demon Saints, avoiding ridicule over its lack of ability to avenge its own disciples.

The Profound Crane Sect is equally wary of truly clashing with the Demon Hunter Organization. They possess Imperial Soldiers, and the Human Race does as well. If Imperial Soldiers were to confront each other in the Human Race’s territory, the Human Race would not hesitate to wield their Imperial Soldiers against the Profound Crane Sect.

Imperial Soldiers of this caliber often serve as a deterrent, and even the Three-Eyed Toad Saint fears being struck by an Imperial Soldier.

"Isn’t Wei Fan a prodigy of your Human Race? Do you not even have the courage to let him fight me on equal terms?" taunted Young Master He.

This is also why he and the Three-Eyed Toad Saint dare to venture into the Human Race’s domain. As long as the Three-Eyed Toad Saint doesn’t lay a hand on Wei Fan and it’s merely a contest between him and Wei Fan, the Demon Hunter Organization, for the sake of the big picture, won’t truly clash with the Profound Crane Sect, leading to an Imperial Soldier confrontation.

In fact, such occurrences are not uncommon in the Five Great Domains. After Xuanyuan Peak’s rise, mighty warriors once brandished Imperial Soldiers as guardians of Xuanyuan Peak, entering Demon Territory to slay many Demon Race prodigies.

Both sides also agree with this approach, as it doesn’t provoke a large-scale war and still allows them to slay the other’s prodigies.

Gu Qingshan and Zhou Shen exchanged glances. Since this Young Master He knows of Wei Fan’s name as a prodigy and still dares to challenge him on equal terms, he must have something to rely on. However, both were aware that Wei Fan had yet to reveal the Five Emperors Fist and also had his own trump card.

If a fight were truly on equal terms, they would be pleased to see Wei Fan slay this disciple of the Profound Crane Sect, but Wei Fan wasn’t in Celestial Star City at all.

"Wei Fan! Come out and fight me, don’t be a coward hiding in your shell!" Young Master He shouted in the direction of Celestial Star City.

"Hahaha... he wants to fight on equal terms with Wei Fan."

"So he’s here to die. Doesn’t he know that when Wei Fan was just a Demon King, he could catch Holy Soldiers barehanded, and now he’s already achieved Body Ascension."

"Idiot, are you afraid Wei Fan will kill him or something?"

Young Master He’s words elicited laughter from a group of Human Race martial artists.

"Don’t be careless. This disciple of the Profound Crane Sect dares to come here, he might have some unknown means." Some wore a solemn expression.

Those who have cultivated to the Saint Realm wouldn’t be fools. This disciple of the Profound Crane Sect might have the Demon Emperor Bloodline and the confidence to slay Wei Fan.

Gu Qingshan was about to say that Wei Fan wasn’t in Celestial Star City when he suddenly felt a familiar aura emanating from within the city. He turned to look and saw Wei Fan ascending from Celestial Star City, flying towards them.

"When did this kid return to Celestial Star City?"

Gu Qingshan and Zhou Shen were both stunned.

"It’s Wei Fan!"

"Wei Fan is here!"

"Let’s have Saint Wei slay this beast."

The Demon Fiends being arrogant on Human territory angered everyone, and upon seeing Wei Fan’s appearance, they couldn’t help but feel invigorated. Gu Qingshan wasn’t in a position to strike at the Demon Saint of the Profound Crane Sect, but if Wei Fan were to slay him, it wouldn’t be much of an issue.

"You finally appeared. I thought you’d continue hiding in your shell. Where was your courage when you were killing our Profound Crane Sect disciples?" Young Master He took a step forward, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

If Wei Fan hadn’t shown up, he wouldn’t dare to rush into Celestial Star City to search for Wei Fan. Before coming here, they had learned about Gu Qingshan’s temperament and knew that he wasn’t someone to mess with.

"I was just having a meal earlier. Are you so eager for death?" Wei Fan strolled over.

[He Feihong: Condensing Dao Realm, disciple of the Profound Crane Sect, has killed countless]

[Killing him would yield 500,000 years of Ordinary Power and 2,700 years of Martial Saint’s Power]

Wei Fan secretly sneered. They said it was a fight on equal terms, but to the outside world, he had broken through to the Divine Realm less than a month ago. Judging by the Martial Saint’s Power shown on the panel, He Feihong’s Dao had already condensed to over nine hundred feet, possibly nearing the Condensing Realm’s limit of a thousand feet.

This was hardly a fight on equal terms.

But it didn’t matter. He had already slain three Dharma Martial Saints, so he naturally wasn’t afraid of a Pathway Condensing Demon Saint. Unless He Feihong could produce an Imperial Soldier, he had nothing to fear.

"Gu Qingshan, let them fight on equal terms without us interfering. Do you have the courage?"

The Three-Eyed Toad Saint glanced at Gu Qingshan.

He was aware of the deceit behind the so-called fight on equal terms, and naturally wanted to lure Gu Qingshan into it first.

Although Wei Fan had previously displayed frightening combat power, He Feihong was not only an accomplished Demon Saint of the Condensing Dao to Perfection, but also had the Demon Emperor Bloodline and wielded the Demon Emperor’s Secret Technique.

He Feihong came to slay Wei Fan not just for the incident of Wei Fan slaying He Feiyu in the Wilderness, but also because the Demon Race felt uneasy about this nineteen-year-old Martial Saint and wanted to eliminate him early.

"Why wouldn’t I dare!"

Seeing Wei Fan’s affirmative look, Gu Qingshan immediately agreed. Moreover, if Wei Fan were indeed to be outmatched, they could always break the agreement. Gu Qingshan had never had the habit of keeping promises with Demon Fiends.

"Good!" The Three-Eyed Toad Saint was overjoyed.

"Come, let’s fight in the Void World. I’ll slay you, the so-called Human Race prodigy."

He Feihong tore open the space and leapt into the Void World first.
