Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Chapter 531 - 313: Gu Qing, the Bastard from Zilan Sect Set Me Up

The reward’s content is very simple: bring Wei Fan’s head to Zilan Sect, you can get a top-level Martial King Divine Soldier and a favor from Zilan Sect.

This reward is very high, as top-level Martial King Divine Soldiers typically belong to the exclusive realm of Martial King Eighth and Ninth Layer Powerhouses. An ordinary Martial King without a background would generally have to cultivate to the Eighth and Ninth Layers to refine a top-level Martial King Divine Soldier.

There’s also Zilan Sect’s favor, which is indeed valuable, considering the sect has a living Martial Saint; a favor is enough to solve most matters.

"This is outrageous!"

Wei Fan’s eyes glinted with Evil Qi. Clearly, it was he and Feng Hua who caused the havoc at Zilan Sect, and it was Feng Hua who wielded the Holy Soldier to injure the Grand Elder of Zilan Sect, yet only he was singled out for the bounty, not a word about Feng Hua.

It’s obvious they can’t provoke Feng Hua, so they only bully him.

Back then, when the Grand Elder of Zilan Sect attacked with a Divine Soldier, the City Lord of Zilan City asked the Grand Elder not to harm Feng Hua. From that time, Wei Fan knew Feng Hua had an extraordinary background, and indeed, the situation arose because of Feng Hua.

"Do you want to kill me for the reward?" Wei Fan’s expression was indifferent, but his heart began to surge with murderous intent.

Around him, many had already recognized him, casting unfriendly looks, and some had even started gathering power in secret.

A Martial King Divine Soldier and a favor from Zilan Sect easily stirred the greed in people’s hearts. Regardless of who was right or wrong between Wei Fan and Zilan Sect, they only knew that killing Wei Fan would earn them a top-level Martial King Divine Soldier and a favor from Zilan Sect.

Moreover, the bounty stated that Wei Fan only had Martial King Second Level Cultivation. This cultivation is neither weak nor strong, which gave courage to those at Martial King Third or Fourth Levels to make a move.

"We have no personal grudges, but the terms from Zilan Sect are too tempting!" a man in a black robe snorted coldly.

"Do you intend to cause trouble on Liuyun Sect’s territory?" Suddenly, a cold voice rang out, making those surrounding Wei Fan and Feng Hua shiver collectively.

The mention of Liuyun Sect instantly sobered these people blinded by desire. Liuyun Sect is a Holy Sect stronger than Zilan Sect. Creating trouble near the Transmission Domain Gate, one of Liuyun Sect’s most crucial places, is courting death.

It’s said that the area has long been guarded by elders of Liuyun Sect at the Martial King Ninth Layer, wielding Holy Soldiers; unless you’re a Martial Saint Powerhouse, anyone who creates trouble here is courting death.

Wei Fan looked up to see a man in purple clothes strolling over from afar, his aura billowing.

"So it’s Guzhen Chuan. We just had lard clouding our minds, please forgive us." The man in the black robe trembled and hurriedly clasped his hands in apology.

Gu Qing!

One of Liuyun Sect’s top ten True Disciples, a renowned Demon of Beiding Continent. It’s said he broke through to Martial King at the age of twenty, and now, not yet fifty, he’s already at the Ninth Layer—the Martial King Ninth Layer Cultivation—with prospects of becoming a Martial Saint.

Gu Qing snorted coldly: "Get lost!"

The man in black and his companions felt as if pardoned from disaster and hurriedly left.

Gu Qing did not make a move since the man in black and others hadn’t truly attacked, plus the Transmission Domain Gate business relies on peace for prosperity. If he acted too harshly, who would dare visit the Transmission Domain Gate business of Liuyun Sect in the future?

"Were you the ones who caused the trouble at Zilan Sect?" Gu Qing looked at Wei Fan and Feng Hua, sizing them up.

Wei Fan nodded: "That’s right!"

There’s nothing to deny. If Gu Qing intended to make a move, they would cause a scene at Liuyun Sect too. As long as the Martial Saints did not intervene, there was nothing to fear.

Currently, most Martial Saints of Beiding Continent are traversing the Wilderness.

"Bold indeed!"

With that, Gu Qing left, neither making a move nor forming any significant ties with Wei Fan and Feng Hua.

He merely happened upon the scene, saw people intending to create trouble, and prevented it, not intending to forge connections with Wei Fan and Feng Hua.

The two continued into the valley, where quite a few were already waiting to take the Transmission Domain Gate.

Submitting the Spirit Crystals needed for the Transmission Domain Gate, they casually found a spot to sit and waited for the gate to open.

Since it takes considerable cost to open a Transmission Domain Gate, Liuyun Sect waits for a sufficient number of people before activating it; not for just one person.

Wei Fan gazed at the so-called Transmission Domain Gate, finding it a vast Jade Platform marked with countless intricate Dao Marks, guarded by Liuyun Sect powerhouses to prevent people from approaching.

"It’s different from the Transmission Domain Gate used for entering the Underground Mausoleum."

Back when they entered the Underground Mausoleum, that Transmission Domain Gate lacked a Divine Jade-crafted Jade Platform, seemingly appearing out of thin air.

With his Array attainments, he couldn’t decipher the complexities of the Transmission Domain Gate after scrutinizing it for a long time.

After the two sat down, many still glanced at them, including the black-robed man and his group, though no one spoke.

Wei Fan gave them a glance, understanding that once they left Liuyun Sect, they might take action.

Gradually, the valley filled with more people. Liuyun Sect disciples began loading Spirit Crystals into the Jade Platform.

Spirit Crystals are a type of Heaven and Earth energy crystal, usable for cultivation and activating arrays.

The Wilderness environment doesn’t produce such things; Wei Fan learned of their existence recently, and Spirit Crystals are also the universal currency of the Celestial Martial Continent, with many items related to martial artists in the Five Great Domains only exchanged for Spirit Crystals.

After a while, the Transmission Domain Gate appeared, revealing a pitch-black Void World. Those waiting for it entered one by one and vanished into the valley.

Celestial Star City is the most prosperous martial artist city in Beiding Continent, its Transmission Domain Gate connects not only to the Eastern Domain but also to various forces within Beiding Continent!

As Beiding Continent’s most bustling and crucial martial artist city, the Transmission Domain Gate is not set within the city, similar to the one at Liuyun Sect, it’s established outside.

This setup ensures that even if connected Transmission Domain Gates are seized by Demon Fiends, they couldn’t invade the city directly.

"Indeed, the most prosperous place of a Continent!"

Wei Fan stepped out of the Transmission Domain Gate, only to see over a dozen such gates on the massive plaza, constantly receiving or sending people away.

"Don’t linger, leave quickly!" someone maintaining order shouted!

Wei Fan followed Feng Hua as they began walking out, and most of the people who came with them from Liuyun Sect via the Transmission Domain Gate had already disappeared.

This wasn’t Celestial Star City; they still needed to walk for half an hour to get there, though flying would only take as long as a cup of tea.

But one simply couldn’t fly.

It’s not that one couldn’t fly, but rather one didn’t dare to; there were too many people coming and going, most of whom were Martial King Powerhouses. Flying over their heads could easily provoke a fight.

If your cultivation isn’t as good as theirs, you can only consider yourself unlucky, but if you fly over someone stronger, you could be slapped to death.

Wei Fan’s gaze swept across the area; regardless of how powerful the person was, they all walked honestly on foot after leaving the Transmission Domain Gate.

"The bounty has already been posted here!"

Passing the plaza, Wei Fan noticed his bounty notice here as well, but it didn’t draw much attention, and not everyone was looking around to see who the target of the bounty was.

He was previously discovered because he went over to take a look and was spotted by someone who was looking at the bounty.

"Zilan Sect is courting death!"

Feng Hua’s eyes flashed with cold light. Though there wasn’t a bounty on her, it didn’t mean she wasn’t angry; after all, Wei Fan was implicated by her.

They already knew her identity, yet they still dared to put a bounty on her friend.

"You didn’t use the Transmission Domain Gate to escape; let’s see who can save you this time!"

After the two ran for a while, several black-robed men suddenly appeared, blocking Wei Fan and Feng Hua, with expressions full of resentment.

They had no grudge against Wei Fan, but after being reprimanded by Gu Qing, they considered it a vendetta, and their expressions changed upon seeing Wei Fan.

Wei Fan’s expression remained unchanged as he softly said, "Why escape? Don’t you know why Zilan Sect put a bounty on me?"

Zilan Sect was crafty and didn’t mention anything about the Holy Soldier in Wei Fan’s possession in the bounty notice, only stating his Martial King Second Layer cultivation level.

Plenty recognized him at Liuyun Sect, but only the black-robed men wanted to claim the bounty for his head, not because they could discern right from wrong, but because they knew what happened at Zilan Sect that day.

The City Lord of Zilan City had an arm blown off, and Zilan Sect’s Grand Elder was injured by a Holy Soldier. Without a Holy Soldier to protect them, coming to kill Wei Fan would be suicide.

And those in possession of a Holy Soldier wouldn’t care for what Zilan Sect offered.

"Why?" the black-robed man instinctively asked.

Wei Fan’s face broke into a smile: "Because we killed their core disciple, injured the City Lord of Zilan City, and their Grand Elder."

Hearing this, the black-robed man and his companions’ expressions changed drastically.

Everyone knew Zilan Sect’s Grand Elder wielded one of their Holy Soldiers, and those who could injure him were no ordinary people.

Among them, the black-robed man was the strongest, with Martial King Fifth Layer cultivation, while the other two were Martial King Third Layer. This was why, upon seeing Zilan Sect’s bounty, they thought they could kill Wei Fan to claim it.

After all, a mere Martial King Second Layer could be easily crushed.

But now, the person with the bounty claimed they injured Zilan Sect’s Grand Elder.

"Not good!" The black-robed man and his companions realized and attempted to flee, but Wei Fan and Feng Hua had already moved simultaneously.

The two vanished like a bolt of lightning, moving with frightening speed, stirring up a fierce wind.

"The black robe is mine, you take the two Martial King Third Layers!"

Feng Hua soared into the sky, delivering a palm strike to the strongest black-robed man.

"Martial King Seventh Layer, Martial King Third Layer, these Zilan Sect bastards tricked me..."

Feeling Wei Fan and Feng Hua’s cultivation, the black-robed man was ashen-faced. Had Zilan Sect mentioned Wei Fan’s companion was a Martial King Seventh Layer powerhouse, he wouldn’t have coveted Zilan Sect’s bounty even if beaten to death.

Furthermore, even Wei Fan’s cultivation was not the Second Layer as stated in the bounty, but the Third Layer. Such a mistake in cultivation level indicated how absurdly inaccurate the information was.

"Spare me, Senior!" The black-robed man screamed, desperately trying to expand his domain.

Bang!

The next moment, even his domain was shattered by Feng Hua’s palm, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

At the same moment, Wei Fan also punched each of the black-robed man’s companions to the point where nothing remained of their bodies.

"How strong, is this the person Zilan Sect’s bounty is on, who can take down a peer with one punch? What kind of demon appeared out of nowhere?" A passing powerhouse recognized Wei Fan and was startled.

"Don’t court death. Anyone daring to kill Zilan Sect’s core disciple isn’t someone you can just butcher; these people didn’t clarify before jumping in, truly courting death."

"Don’t you realize that despite having a bounty on him, he still strolls around like he is, do you think he’s an easy target?"

...

Wei Fan and Feng Hua seemed to have done something insignificant and continued their journey to Celestial Star City.
