Chapter 230: Chapter 126: Return to Su City, Upheaval in the Demon Suppression Bureau (Part 2)

Wei Fan didn’t know Victory King well, but she knew a bit about him; although he had great ambitions, he wasn’t particularly likely to succeed.

Furthermore, her goal was to hunt demons and maintain peace in the world, not to become a tool for power struggles. Even if Victory King had the greatest chance of winning, she wasn’t interested in becoming his follower.

The two quickly left the city, exchanged glances, and soared into the sky, transforming into two long rainbows that disappeared into the air.

"At this speed, it will take at most a little over a day to return to Su City!"

It’s worth noting that it took them sixteen days to travel from Su City to the Capital, but now, it would take less than two days to return.

This is even considering rest stops along the way; if they traveled at full speed, it might not even take a day.

"So fast!"

Under the influence of Will Power, their speed increased, allowing them to truly experience flight for the first time in their lives.

Before, although they could fly, it was due to True Power and the Power of Heaven and Earth, which only allowed them to fly a few hundred to a thousand meters at most.

Now, with one breath, they had flown over ten kilometers.

"Let’s see who’s faster!"

Long Xueyi suddenly got interested and provocatively looked at Wei Fan.

"Okay!"

As soon as Wei Fan nodded, she immediately surpassed Wei Fan by several hundred meters, and the distance kept increasing.

"Her personality seems a bit more lively than before!"

Watching Long Xueyi’s back, Wei Fan felt a stir in his heart. His True Power erupted, leaving a trail of white mist in the air, accompanied by a rumbling sound.

A few breaths later, he caught up with Long Xueyi.

A dozen breaths later, Long Xueyi couldn’t even see his shadow.

After experiencing supersonic flight for a while, Wei Fan’s excitement calmed down, and he began to try using Grandmaster techniques.

He released all his Power of Heart and Spirit, and everything within a hundred feet was projected in his mind.

The next moment, this Power of Heart and Spirit transformed into Will Power, reducing everything within a hundred feet to dust.

"Wait for her a while!"

Wei Fan landed on a mountaintop, and with a thought, countless giant rocks rose from the ground, bombarding the sky.

About ten minutes later, Long Xueyi finally arrived, albeit slowly.

She looked at Wei Fan with a complex expression: "How big is your Sea of Consciousness?"

She had thought that after condensing their Divine Souls, they would both be on the same starting line, and that the gap between her and Wei Fan would be about the same. However, the gap seemed even larger.

With one acceleration, Wei Fan disappeared from her sight, which meant his Sea of Consciousness might be much larger than hers.

"A hundred feet, what about you?"

Wei Fan was also curious about the difference between his Sea of Consciousness and Long Xueyi’s.

Long Xueyi’s eyes filled with shock: "Fifty feet!"

"Very impressive!"

He had expanded his hundred-foot Sea of Consciousness only after suffering through dozens of failed breakthroughs, whereas Long Xueyi had a fifty-foot Sea of Consciousness right after her breakthrough, leaving Wei Fan a bit envious.

After a break and some food, the two continued on their journey.

A day later, they appeared in the Tongzhou territory. After flying for another two hours, they landed at the entrance to Su City.

With a cracking sound, Wei Fan reverted to his original appearance.

Long Xueyi was puzzled: "Why not continue disguising yourself?"

Since becoming a Demon Hunter, Wei Fan had almost always worn a stranger’s face outside the Demon Suppression Bureau, as had she.

It was unusual for Wei Fan to revert to his original appearance before even entering the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Wei Fan bared his white teeth: "I want those who have been keeping an eye on me to know I’ve returned!"

Having been gone for over two weeks, apart from Elder Huo, only Long Xueyi, his companion, knew he had gone to the Capital to break through to the Divine Realm.

Zhang Xianlong could probably guess, but he wasn’t the type to gossip.

Long Xueyi was momentarily stunned: "That’s a good idea!"

As she spoke, her flawless and exquisite face also emerged.

Having broken through to the Divine Realm, it was only natural to give a surprise to those who had been keeping an eye on her.

As the two entered the city, they felt a slightly oppressive atmosphere in Su City. When they reached the gates of the Demon Suppression Bureau, they found it almost deserted.

"Something must have happened!"

Long Xueyi’s heart sank, her expression turning grim.

They continued toward the Combat Battalion without seeing a single Demon Suppression Guard’s shadow.

"Contact Zhang Xianlong!"

Wei Fan took out his waist token to send a message to Zhang Xianlong, but received no response. It was unclear whether something had happened or the distance was too far to extract news.

The two had no choice but to go to the Merit Hall to find Elder Huo.

"Elder Huo has not returned since he went out last time!"

They didn’t find Elder Huo, but He Yun was still around.

He poured tea for Wei Fan and Long Xueyi, and sighed: "The Third Commander, Fu Shizheng, has betrayed us!"

Wei Fan’s pupils narrowed slightly, but he wasn’t too surprised, as he had long known that the Third Commander, Fu Shizheng, wanted to kill him.

Perhaps the other side wanted to kill him not only because of the "treasure" he carried but also to get rid of him as a "demon."

Someone like that betraying wasn’t unexpected; if he could kill Wei Fan, it meant that as long as there were enough benefits, he could kill other commanders and even betray the Human Race.

"How is that possible!"

Long Xueyi stood up in shock, as a commander’s betrayal was no small matter and could result in terrifying consequences.

He Yun glanced at Long Xueyi: "You should know about the Cyan Bull Demon Monarch slaughtering a thousand people, right? They actually intended to lure Elder Huo away from Su City.

Just yesterday, the demons of Cyan Cloud Mountain suddenly attacked Cyan Cloud City, sparking a Divine Realm battle.

At that time, all three commanders appeared, fighting against the Black Python Demon Lord and the White Ape Demon Monarch. In the middle of the battle, Fu Shizheng suddenly turned traitor, sneak-attacking and severely injuring the Grand Commander, and then defected to the demon camp, joining forces with the Black Python Demon Lord and the White Ape Demon Monarch to attack the other two commanders.

Cyan Cloud City was breached; if the Second Commander hadn’t brought out the Commander’s weapon, Cyan Cloud City might have turned into a human purgatory. It’s said that tens of thousands have died or been wounded, and now even the Demon Suppression Assistant General stationed in Su City has rushed to Cyan Cloud City."

Wei Fan and Long Xueyi’s eyes gleamed with cold killing intent.

He Yun looked around and whispered: "I heard that the Grand Commander has already died of his injuries, but it’s kept secret to maintain morale. Now Cyan Cloud City is entirely reliant on the Second Commander, and I don’t know if other commandery cities have divine reinforcements."

After saying that, he realized something was off: "Huh... weren’t you guys returning from Cyan Cloud City? How come you don’t know about this?"

The two shook their heads and stood up to leave.

If the Grand Commander was indeed dead, the situation in Cyan Cloud City was already dire.

Wei Fan was puzzled: "Isn’t there a Life Token? How could Fu Shizheng dare to betray?"

Such a betrayal is understandable for Demon Hunters like them, as there are no means of restraint, but for a commander like Fu Shizheng, whose Life Token is controlled by the Court, defection shouldn’t be beyond control.

Long Xueyi shook her head: "There are countless secret techniques in the world; some can break the control of Life Tokens. Fu Shizheng might have learned such a technique. I can’t understand why he would choose to betray when things were going well for him - doesn’t he fear being infamous for generations?"

"Perhaps the demons offered him benefits too tempting to refuse, or maybe he wasn’t good to begin with. I had known for some time that the Yellow Dragon Spear was Fu Shizheng’s."

Long Xueyi was stunned.

She didn’t blame Wei Fan for not saying it earlier; at that time, Fu Shizheng was still the Third Commander. It was almost impossible to bring down a commander with just one word from him - saying it would only increase his danger.

Wei Fan glanced at Long Xueyi, his eyes burning: "With such a major incident, even the Commander hasn’t appeared - where on earth is the Commander?"

Wei Fan had discussed the Commander’s situation with Zhang Xianlong before.

At first, he thought the Commander was in seclusion or guarding somewhere important, but Zhang Xianlong shook his head, indicating that the Commander had been missing for a long time, and it wasn’t due to seclusion or anything - it seemed something had happened.

Long Xueyi’s expression changed. After a moment of silence, she said softly: "Actually, my grandfather is in trouble. He’s trapped in a secluded place and can’t escape!

Only Elder Huo and I knew about this, not even the other commanders knew. My grandfather’s disappearance all these years, perhaps Fu Shizheng sensed something, and that’s why he dared to do such a thing."
