Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 144 - 84: Who Has Such a Deep Grudge Against You? Demon Fiend Appears

Chapter 144: Chapter 84: Who Has Such a Deep Grudge Against You? Demon Fiend Appears

The carriage traveled along the bumpy road, but this bit of bumpiness was nothing to Wei Fan and Long Xueyi.

"This time, the ones appearing will be Demon Fiends with strong bloodlines, making it very dangerous for you. Your main task is to collect their demonic qi because if we start fighting, I won’t have the energy to take care of you."

Long Xueyi did not look down on Wei Fan.

If it were otherwise, with her aloof personality, she wouldn’t have said so much to Wei Fan.

At the Floating Rain Sect, she had seen Wei Fan in action. He was indeed a prodigy, conquering a Celestial Human Third-Grade Martial Artist with mere nine-layered acupoint opening cultivation, even making her utter how she disliked such geniuses.

But no matter how much of a genius, he wouldn’t be invincible.

The Demon Fiends appearing at this Donglin Grand Assembly must be members of the Demon Heaven Alliance, at least Fourth Grade of Core Formation, and even those with strong bloodlines. These Fourth Grade Core Formation Demon Fiends are equivalent to the demonic talents possessing True Qi of a Dantian cultivated for forty to fifty years by the Human Race, having the ease to cut down ordinary Celestial Human Fifth Layer Martial Artists, even the Sixth Layer.

Crossing levels to battle is too common for members of the Demon Heaven Alliance and Demon Hunters; they mostly exceed others’ levels, rarely the other way around.

Even if Wei Fan was training in Horizontal Cultivation of Innate, it wouldn’t be possible for an Acupoint Martial Artist to surpass and battle Demon Fiends of the Demon Heaven Alliance in Fourth or Fifth Grade Core Formation.

"It seems he’s somewhat indignant!"

Even though she could only see Wei Fan’s back, Long Xueyi sensed some disdain in Wei Fan’s feeling towards her words.

"Ah, indeed. For a prodigy in Horizontal Cultivation of Innate with terrifying comprehension, encountering Demon Fiends but unable to strike back—if I were him, I would be indignant too."

The carriage sped forward, and Wei Fan’s voice rose again, "Is the plan set inside Donglin City? Aren’t you afraid of rampant casualties there?"

Having heard of Demon Hunters laying traps with colleagues before, he did not feel much aversion to them.

As fellow Demon Hunters, always dealing with Demon Fiends, if one gets used as bait without knowing, he deserves the death, lacking skills—why blame others?

But the Donglin matters, setting a trap in the city—even if those Demon Fiends disdain eating ordinary people—once a fight breaks out, countless innocents might die from collateral damage.

With such a setup, he indeed had to ponder over the Demon Hunters’ bottom line.

Long Xueyi was silent for a long time; she felt Wei Fan’s animosity towards this disregard for ordinary people: "I don’t know if it’s set within the city, but most likely it is.

You should know, not all places are as serene as Su City.

In other places, Demon Fiends entering cities to eat people happens often. Those Demon Fiends, upon breakthrough, where to find Great Medicine? Of course, within the city.

In cities, martial artists are abundant, experts abound, they can feast at once.

This incident, for frontline cities, is a yearly occurrence that happens seven or eight times. Killing a few Great Demons, in return, exchanges for enduring tranquility.

They’re not unconcerned about ordinary lives but find it more worthwhile. After Demon Fiends breach the city, they fight to the end; whether civilians can be protected is not their concern.

Demon Hunters are double-edged, while slaying Demon Fiends, they might harm themselves, and often, everyone acts out of helplessness..."

Wei Fan did not speak further.

Three days later, Donglin City appeared in sight.

Compared to the majestic Su City, Donglin City was much smaller, yet larger than Yun City.

As a frontline city fighting Demon Fiends, the atmosphere was oppressive here, with no sense of prosperity. The city walls bore various claw marks, the repaired gaps recorded the battles with Demon Fiends.

The carriage mixed into the crowd and quickly entered Donglin City. Wei Fan had never been here, unfamiliar with the place.

However, Long Xueyi must have been here before; she sat in the carriage, secretly guiding Wei Fan with directions through Secret Transmission, winding through paths, and finally, the carriage stopped outside a courtyard.

As soon as the carriage halted, the courtyard door opened, and a venerable old man, hair and beard white, stepped out: "Miss, you’ve finally returned."

Wei Fan jumped out of the carriage and lifted the curtain, Long Xueyi bent down and disembarked too.

Another person came out to take the carriage away, and the two followed the old man into the courtyard.

Wei Fan walked behind, discreetly utilizing Qi Observation and Demon Identification Technique on this old man, realizing the other was like himself, his aura completely concealed.

"A Demon Hunter!"

He instantly understood this old man was highly likely a Demon Hunter, maybe even disguising his true appearance.

Besides, which ordinary expert would be idly careless, concealing all aura?

Only Demon Hunters being hunted by the Demon Heaven Alliance would constantly conceal their aura to evade detection by Demon Fiends.

The old man led them into the main hall, checked around seeing no one, and his bent back straightened suddenly: "Nightingale, you’ve finally arrived."

Nightingale was Long Xueyi’s Demon Hunter alias, Demon Hunters usually did not use real names.

Wei Fan casually picked one for himself, "Cold Noodles," without expecting Long Xueyi to tell him it was taken. Subsequently, he tried a few more like "Lone Wolf," "Black Snake," all already claimed. Finally, he had no choice but picked a unique one, "Nether Fire."

Long Xueyi nodded, pointed at Wei Fan, "He is Nether Fire!"

She then pointed at the old man, eye-gestured to Wei Fan: "He’s Horizontal Saber, our partner in Donglin City this time. Such a setup will be very dangerous without helpers, but do not trust him too much either!"

Long Xueyi candidly warned Wei Fan not to trust Horizontal Saber.

Horizontal Saber was unperturbed, instead raising an eyebrow: "A newbie? Bringing a newbie here, do you think he hasn’t died enough?"
