Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

"You..." Xuanyuan Jing boiled with anger, energy surging, ready to strike Wei Fan.

She indeed had the intention to attack Wei Fan, but thinking of how Wei Fan recently slew three Martial Saints of the Wang Family, she forcibly suppressed her Heart Method of attack.

She is at the Saint Realm, knowing how difficult it is to slay Wang Jin Yao, and if she really fought Wei Fan here, others would only ridicule the Xuanyuan Family regardless of the outcome.

"How dare you!"

"Wei Fan, how dare you disrespect Sister Jing!"

Two men from the Xuanyuan Family were also furious, but they dared not make a move.

Wei Fan raised an eyebrow, "It was you who were disrespectful first. What kind of things are you, qualified to come in front of me and make judgments?

Without good ancestors, you are nothing. Look at your arrogant expressions, one would think you were pigs."

Recalling the illustrious style of Emperor Xuanyuan who conquered challenges to create an era of prosperity for our Human Race, revered as the Human Emperor, he would be ashamed to have descendants like you!"

A burst of laughter erupted around, leaving Li Jianchen and others dumbfounded. They did not expect Wei Fan to be not only a fierce fighter but also quite sharp-tongued. Xuanyuan Jing and her companions were so infuriated their eyes seemed to spit fire, but they couldn’t retort.

This was because Wei Fan was praising Emperor Xuanyuan, and to counter him would be to deny Emperor Xuanyuan’s great achievements.

Xuanyuan Jing was furious but eventually managed to stifle her anger: "Your sharp tongue won’t help you. Martial Artists rely on skill, not words!"

"Skill, huh? I happen to have some as well!"

Wei Fan took a step forward, frightening Xuanyuan Jing and her companions to retreat repeatedly. He is a Demon with a Body Ascended to Saint, so they always spoke from afar, never daring to get close.

"Cowards, turns out you truly have no real skills. After all that, I thought you were formidable."

The faces of Xuanyuan Jing and her companions turned red and pale with sarcasm, yet they still held back from fighting.

Xuanyuan Jing took a deep breath and said, "We are not here to argue with you today, but to warn you to stay away from Feng Hua. Someone like you isn’t qualified to marry a noblewoman of the Xuanyuan Family. For Feng Hua’s sake, I advise you to be sensible, or you won’t know when you die.

Some things are beyond your wildest dreams, and some people you cannot afford to offend. Even if you are ten times stronger, you could easily be crushed like an ant."

Wei Fan flashed a grin and retorted, "The Xuanyuan Family you’re talking about, is that the one that needs to sell daughters to maintain its dignity?"

Everyone’s expressions were quite vivid; Wei Fan’s remark effectively tore away the Xuanyuan Family’s final shred of dignity covering their shame.

Although everyone knew the Xuanyuan Family planned to marry the Venerable Phoenix Body to Zhou Cheng Ancestor to extend the life of the Emperor’s Soldier, almost no one dared to expose this because it was like slapping everyone’s face in the Xuanyuan Family.

Xuanyuan Jing and her companions suddenly seemed as if their sore spot had been touched, their faces reddening with anger, even the aura of experts hidden among the Xuanyuan Family lost control.

As the progeny of Emperor Xuanyuan, part of the Human Emperor Clan, how could they endure others saying they sold daughters to maintain family dignity? Even though it was true, they didn’t view it as selling.

"How dare you insult the Xuanyuan Family!"

With a furious shout, a golden hand appeared in the air, striking down towards Wei Fan.

"It’s on!"

"Wei Fan doesn’t give the Xuanyuan Family any face, even tearing away their fig leaves."

"It’s evident that Xuanyuan doesn’t agree to marry the Venerable Phoenix Body to Wei Fan, so why bother giving them face."

"So daring, not even the name of the Martial Emperor Clan could restrain him."

...

The hand emitted an aura that made one’s Heart Spirit tremble, like the Ten Thousand Jins Divine Mountain pressing down, forcing many people to retreat to the sides.

"A Great Saint powerhouse!"

Wei Fan sensed the aura of the hand, deducing the attacker’s Cultivation. Confronting a Great Saint Level attack, even exposing the Five Emperors Fist couldn’t match it, his options were to summon the Ten Thousand Spirits Bell or use the Profound Yellow Tripod.

With too many people here, it was unwise to reveal the Ten Thousand Spirits Bell, so he could only resort to the Profound Yellow Tripod.

"Stop!"

Just as Wei Fan intended to use the Profound Yellow Tripod, a voice spoke from afar. The sound was not grand, yet contained a strange power. The golden hand was stopped by an invisible force, suspended in mid-air, unable to strike down.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure walking through the air clad in battle armor, like a War God seasoned in countless battles, his aura of slaughter sweeping over.

It was Wei Ying, the Town Commander Wei Fan had previously met in the Demon Hunter Organization.

Simultaneously, he also saw the owner of the golden hand, a middle-aged man with a somewhat pale complexion, wearing plain clothes, unlike those embroidered with dragon patterns worn by Xuanyuan Jing and her group.

"The Town Commander Wei Ying has arrived; he must be here to support Wei Fan!"

"Nonsense, you think Wei Fan has no backing? Although the Demon Hunter Organization refrains from meddling in Jianghu grievances, they certainly care about some people. With a once-in-a-millennium talent like Wei Fan, who is bound to become at least a Martial Emperor or an Emperor Cheng, the Demon Hunter Organization wouldn’t merely watch as he gets slapped to death before he grows up."

"The Demon Hunter Organization has intimidated Demon Fiends for years; do you really think they’re pushovers, not knowing how they might die."

With the appearance of the Town Commander Wei Ying from the Demon Hunter Organization, naturally, no one would think he came to join the Xuanyuan Family in confronting Wei Fan.

Wei Ying’s expression was composed, his face calm as he left a string of footprints in the void: "Brother Changkong, this is merely a matter among the young. For you, as a Great Saint, to intervene is inappropriate!"

Xuanyuan Changkong withdrew his golden hand, his expression somewhat unpleasant: "What, is the Demon Hunter Organization willing to break its own rules and involve itself in Jianghu conflicts for him?"

He did not continue to attack Wei Fan in front of Wei Ying. As the Town Commander of the Demon Hunter Organization, in the Great Sage Domain, Wei Ying was not unbeatable, but few could surpass him.

Wei Ying shook his head: "How can this be called meddling in Jianghu conflicts? The Demon Hunter Organization was founded by the Three Emperors, and the first Hall Master of our Eastern Domain was none other than the Xuan Yuan Human Emperor, who established a millennium of prosperity for the Eastern Domain Human Race.

Both the Demon Hunter Organization and the Xuanyuan Family were left by the Human Emperor, we’re all one family. How can it be called a Jianghu conflict?"

He directly brought up the achievements of the Human Emperor, making it hard for Xuanyuan Changkong to refute, as rebutting would mean denying the accomplishments of his ancestor, the Xuan Yuan Human Emperor.

Of course, he also made his stance clear: he was determined to oversee Wei Fan’s matters. If Xuanyuan Changkong continued to act against Wei Fan, he would be forced to intervene.

"Kid, speak with more virtue in the future."

Xuanyuan Changkong snorted coldly, soared into the sky, and landed in the Divine City of the Xuanyuan Family. He wasn’t there to kill Wei Fan; he was merely provoked by Wei Fan’s words and wanted to teach him a lesson. With Wei Ying’s appearance, some of his anger dissipated.

Wei Ying gave Wei Fan a glance, turned, and disappeared into the horizon.

"Let’s go, we’ve delivered the message, whether someone seeks death is not our concern!"

Xuanyuan Jing and the others turned and left.

"Would you three please deliver a message to the Xuanyuan Family? Feng Hua’s marriage is her own choice, and if anyone dares to force her, I will cut them down," Wei Fan said aloud, addressing the backs of Xuanyuan Jing and the others.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around widened their eyes, even Xuanyuan Jing and the others paused and turned back to look.

Wei Fan actually threatened the Xuanyuan Family in return.

"Where does he get the nerve to threaten the Xuanyuan Family?"

"Does he not know what the Xuanyuan Family represents?"

"Wei Fan is a bit arrogant. Even if there are issues with their Emperor’s Soldier, the Xuanyuan Family is not something ordinary people can shake."

...

Everyone thought Wei Fan was being arrogant and couldn’t understand where he got the conviction to threaten the Xuanyuan Family. The Demon Hunter Organization might back him up, but they wouldn’t go to war with the Xuanyuan Family for him.

Xuanyuan Jing looked seriously at Wei Fan for a moment and showed a mocking expression: "The message will be delivered for sure!"

Having said that, the three soared into the sky and returned to the Xuanyuan Family’s Divine City.

With that, a farce ended, everyone dispersed, and Wei Fan returned to the small courtyard provided by the Demon Hunter Organization.

Two days later, news came from Xining that a giant hand flew in from beyond the sky, demolishing more than half of the Xining Royal Family’s mountain gate.

The Dragon Battle Martial Emperor had acted against the Xining Royal Family.

However, Dragon Battle did not annihilate the Wang Family, it was said he merely confiscated the Wang Family’s Emperor’s Soldier for a hundred years as a punishment.

"Dragon Battle Martial Emperor actually didn’t annihilate the Wang Family?" Many found it unimaginable.

"Dragon Battle Martial Emperor is broad-minded, not to the point of actually wiping out a Martial Emperor Clan of tens of thousands. But confiscating the Emperor’s Soldier for a century is a terrifying punishment; without the Emperor’s Soldier to defend them, the Wang Family could easily be destroyed by others."

Li Jianchen shook his head, this move basically demoted the Wang Family from the rank of a Martial Emperor Clan, and the Wang Family surely wouldn’t dare to act arrogantly anymore.

For the Dragon Battle Martial Emperor, whether the Wang Family was destroyed made little difference; taking the Emperor’s Soldier would instead keep the Wang Family in constant fear.

"Brother Li, do we Town Territory Envoys get so few tasks?"

Wei Fan was already feeling bored, having stayed in Holy City for five or six days without any task. The key was he needed power, and if there weren’t many tasks, he planned to leave Holy City and hunt Demon Fiends himself.

"Would you prefer the Human Race to be in constant war?"

Li Jianchen was a bit speechless; wasn’t it better for quiet cultivation without tasks?

Wei Fan shook his head, uncertain how to respond. Just as he was about to ask Li Jianchen about the demon-fiend situation near Holy City, the waist token given by Wei Ying that day started vibrating.

"You’re really a jinx, there’s a task now!"

Wei Fan’s spirit lifted as he and Li Jianchen headed toward the Town Hall. It wasn’t that he enjoyed being commanded, but Demon Saints were not easy to find, and once the Demon Hunter Organization assigned them a task, it meant it had to do with Demon Saints.

"Aren’t you just back from a mission in Beiding Continent? Why were you also summoned?"

Wei Fan was puzzled; the waist token didn’t specify the task, only calling them to gather, and the details would only be revealed at the Town Hall.

Li Jianchen said: "Although Town Territory Envoys are required to obey orders, unless there’s no one else available, when there’s spare manpower, whether to undertake a task is actually voluntary.

After all, we all need cultivation time, and forcing an envoy out of seclusion isn’t good, so usually when there’s a task, everyone is notified, and those willing to accept it go to the Town Hall.

I could actually skip this, but since I don’t need seclusion now, I plan to take on a few tasks to accumulate some achievements.

Let’s hurry, or the slots might be taken."
