Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Jump out and take charge, if by any chance Wei Fan honors King Liang by showing him face, it could enhance his prestige.

It’s just a pity that Wei Fan, as the rumors in Jianghu say, is audacious beyond compare, showing no respect to him as a prince and even provoking him with constant pressure.

Wei Fan, with an indifferent expression, swept his gaze over King Liang: "Go and invite another expert, he is not enough to stop me from leaving the Capital City, or you can make a move yourself and see if I have the guts to kill you, this prince!"

Everyone’s eyelids twitched wildly, as Wei Fan provoked King Liang once again with words. Did he really intend to kill King Liang?

King Liang did not dare to gamble because he knew Wei Fan truly dared to kill.

The main point was that the experts of the Imperial Family had not appeared, allowing Wei Fan to continue his provocations against him.

To know that by acting this way, Wei Fan was not only trampling on the dignity of King Liang but also on the dignity of the Imperial Family. He couldn’t quite grasp why no one had come forward from the Imperial Family.

In the end, he said nothing, forced to swallow his anger.

"That’s enough!" Li Yunfei used his Heart Spirit to transmit his voice to Wei Fan.

He was constantly on edge, fearing the experts of the Imperial Family would appear.

He roughly understood why the experts hadn’t come out, after all, Wei Fan, under the guise of an Inspector, was performing his duty of supervision. The experts of the Imperial Family did not dare to blatantly take action against Wei Fan, nor intercept him.

Although the Demon Hunter Organization appeared scattered, once it involved matters of resisting demon fiends, there was no ambiguity.

If the Great Victory Dynasty dared to harm the Inspector under such circumstances, someone from the Demon Hunter Organization would surely stand up for Wei Fan.

The matter at hand that Wei Fan resolved was not personal grievances, but the issue of the military line of defense in Su City being breached and the situation being suppressed.

It was only because of the connection between King Liang, Zhang Juzheng, and Fan Chuan Sect that he was forced to step forward, while others dared not stand out at this time.

Wei Fan shook his head: "I still have to kill a few more people!"

He stepped forward and came to hover above the Demon Suppression Bureau, quickly locating Liu Jingxiang with his Heart Spirit, and grabbed him into the sky directly.

Liu Jingxiang was already pale, screaming: "Don’t kill me!"

He had long known this day would come but didn’t expect it to arrive so quickly. Wei Fan had directly come to the Capital City, first killing Fan Chuan Sect, then Zhang Juzheng, even pressing King Liang to lower his head, with the Imperial Family remaining silent.

Wei Fan held Liu Jingxiang by the neck with one hand: "Speak, who else was involved in suppressing the military situation in Su City, don’t make me use the Soul Search technique on you!"

In fact, with Wei Fan’s transformed Divine Soul, although he hadn’t mastered any hypnosis or Enchanting Soul Martial Arts, his will was enough to have a Mesmerizing Soul-like effect on someone as a Divine Realm Martial Sect like Liu Jingxiang in close contact.

"There is the Grandmaster of the current court. After knowing this, he used it to threaten the Prime Minister and the Garrison Commander to obtain two Commander positions, and there’s Song Huasheng, who is the Prime Minister’s person in the Demon Suppression Bureau. The matter should have been reported to other Garrison Commanders but was suppressed by him and relayed to Zhang Juzheng..."

Liu Jingxiang spilled the names like beans, quickly revealing many involved.

When he finished speaking, Wei Fan directly strangled him and then turned to look at Shentu Bao: "Are you going to deal with these people in the Demon Suppression Bureau, or should I do it myself?"

He only knew Liu Jingxiang; he didn’t recognize the others that Liu Jingxiang mentioned.

If Shentu Bao didn’t handle it, he would have to personally root out these rotten elements.

"There’s no need to trouble the Inspector!"

How dare Shentu Bao let Wei Fan act personally, Wei Fan didn’t even give King Liang face. If he wasn’t proactive, letting Wei Fan act himself, more might be implicated.

His Heart Spirit swept through the Demon Suppression Bureau, quickly identifying and executing those Liu Jingxiang named, killing four or five people, with two being Commanders at the Divine Realm Martial Sect level, and the rest were Civil Servants managing logistics.

Resolving the matter of the Demon Suppression Bureau, Wei Fan arrived above the Grandmaster’s Mansion, instantly spotting Tang Xiao there.

All the matters of today arose because he saw Tang Xiao in danger and stepped in, leading to all this.

Though he had never expected any repayment, the actions of the Grandmaster’s Mansion still chilled his heart, using the affair of Su City to gain advantage so shamelessly.

Tang Xiao clasped his hands: "Brother Wei, thank you for saving my life that day, I probably won’t be able to repay you in this lifetime. Please do what you must without minding me!"

He always felt apologetic towards Wei Fan because of him, Wei Fan got involved with the Prime Minister and caused the deaths of many innocents.

The deeds of his family for power also troubled his conscience profoundly.

"Alright!"

Wei Fan nodded, knowing that Tang Xiao wasn’t involved in the matter. Otherwise, he could save Tang Xiao or take Tang Xiao’s life if necessary.

They didn’t spend a lot of time together, but Tang Xiao should count as a Gentleman. Otherwise, during the Nanshan Grand Assembly, Tang Xiao wouldn’t have risked helping fend off the Blood Cloud Sect.

"You disobedient child, what are you saying? Hurry and beg the Inspector to spare your grandfather’s life!"

A roar sounded, and Tang Xiao’s father rushed into Tang Xiao’s courtyard: "Inspector, I beg you to spare your hand in light of your acquaintance with my son..."

Zhang Juzheng and Fan Chuan Sect were both killed, and no one from the Dynasty stepped forward. He knew that if Wei Fan wanted to kill his father, no one would step in to save him. His only hope was to leverage Wei Fan’s friendship with Tang Xiao.

Wei Fan ignored Tang Xiao’s father and instead looked at Tang Xiao: "Out of respect for you, I’ll leave him a whole corpse!"

As he spoke, he sent out a Mental Shock, immediately killing the Grandmaster of the current era mentally.

Thus, Wei Fan single-handedly eliminated the Prime Minister, Garrison Commander, and Grandmaster from the Great Victory Dynasty.

The entire Capital City was dumbfounded

Apart from King Liang jumping out to send a head, no one from the Imperial Family intervened at all. Few could have known that Zhang Juzheng, having once targeted Wei Fan, would meet such an end.

Having done this, Wei Fan still did not leave, proclaiming loudly: "I don’t care how you fight for power from now on, whoever dares to act like Fan Chuan Sect and Zhang Juzheng again, disregarding the lives of the people and soldiers for power, I will surely deal with him as the Inspector!"

Li Yunfei’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably, having killed people and still making such statements. Was he really not afraid of a swarm of Martial Venerables from the Imperial Family coming at him?

"Let’s go!"

Wei Fan turned around.

Now there still remains the Prisoner Dragon Stronghold and Black Lake Jiao Venerable to deal with; the specific location of the Prisoner Dragon Stronghold is unknown, so they have to wait for them to find him.

Although they know the whereabouts of the Black Lake Jiao Venerable, the vastness of Black Lake makes it no different from not knowing.

"Hold on!"

Just as Wei Fan was about to turn around, a deep voice rang out from behind.

Li Yunfei’s expression changed slightly: "Trouble’s here!"

He knew that the Imperial Family isn’t something that just anyone can trample upon.

Previously, no personnel from the Imperial Family had genuinely appeared, not because they were subdued by Wei Fan, but because with Wei Fan’s title of Inspector, the Imperial Family didn’t dare impede him.

Now that all matters had been resolved, the Imperial Family was likely to find an excuse to deal with him and Wei Fan.

The two turned to look, only to see a resplendent golden figure rising swiftly from the depths of the Imperial Palace and flying rapidly toward them from the horizon.

Under the intertwining golden light, a four-colored halo appeared behind the figure.

The figure, like a Great Sun crossing the sky, arrived near Wei Fan and Li Yunfei within a few breaths, revealing a sturdy, long-haired young man.

"It’s the Martial King!"

"Could it be that the Martial King wishes to find trouble with Wei Fan?"

"His Highness the Martial King is a martial arts fanatic, seeing a demon like Wei Fan, he probably wishes to fight him!"

...

Many recognized this Martial Venerable powerhouse from the Imperial Palace—the Martial King.

Amongst the princes of the current Great Victory Dynasty, although there are no martial arts prodigies, the Martial King is one such, having reached Golden Body Sixth Forging Cultivation at a little over a hundred years of age.

Of course, this cultivation level is likely tied to the resources provided by the Imperial Family. If one were to rely solely on oneself to gather resources, achieving Golden Body First Forging Cultivation would already be considered extraordinary.

Besides the Martial King, there is the most prodigious prince—the Crown Prince.

Because the Crown Prince’s talent is too outstanding, the Imperial Family worries that once he inherits the throne, it might affect his Martial Dao, which is why they wanted to choose a new Crown Prince, leading to the princes’ contention for the throne in the Great Victory Dynasty.

In fact, Wei Fan has recently come to understand that in many dynasties, the one who ultimately ascends the throne is not necessarily the prince with the strongest martial talent. Indeed, true prodigies are not permitted by the Imperial Family to squander time in governance.

Moreover, being an emperor is not a lifelong position; in many dynasties, emperors can only serve for two hundred years. Once the two hundred years are up, they must pass the throne to their offspring and enter the Royal Family for cultivation.

So, figures like King Liang and Victory King aren’t actually competing for the throne due to a lack of talent; within the Imperial Family, true prodigies have no interest in the throne at all. Becoming emperor would simply squander cultivation time.

Furthermore, being an emperor isn’t truly being supreme. There’s a load of ancestors or Supreme Emperors who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, overshadowing you. You may show off in public, but behind the scenes, you’ll be constrained by a bunch of ancestors.
