Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Chapter 552: Chapter 334: Black Netherworld and the Whereabouts of Xuanyuan Peak

"If it’s not the Demon Fiends, then it’s the Zilan Sect!"

This has absolutely nothing to do with the Thousand Peaks Sect!

What happened in the Wilderness is temporarily impossible to spread to the outside world, and after he left the Wilderness, apart from the Demon Fiends, the only ones he truly offended were the Zilan Sect.

Although he had killed others, those people absolutely did not have the capability to hire such a terrifying assassin.

If it weren’t for his multiple trump cards, such a terrifying assassin could even pose a threat to an Eighth Level Martial King expert.

Neither spoke for a moment.

The assassin organization in the Wilderness has no stance regarding Human-Demons; as long as spirit crystals are paid, killing humans or demons is fine.

It’s said that within their organization, there are not only human assassins but demon assassins too, making it hard to determine if it’s the Zilan Sect or the Demon Fiends.

"I didn’t expect there to be an assassin organization!"

Wei Fan also did not expect such a thing, because there really wasn’t any assassin organization in the Wilderness.

Feng Hua shook his head: "Assassin organizations have always existed; various major forces in the Five Great Domains have frequently joined forces to besiege them, but they always make a comeback and can’t be completely eradicated."

Wei Fan frowned: "Are they really so formidable?"

These are not just one or two forces, but the major forces of the Five Great Domains working together, and even in such a situation, they can’t eradicate the assassin organizations.

Zhi Hua said: "Their assassins are trained from a young age, restrictions are even placed within their primordial spirits, and without finding their main base, eradicating a few contact points is useless.

And don’t underestimate the assassin organizations, their strength absolutely surpasses most Holy Sects, no one knows how many Martial Saints they have assassinated throughout history; to completely eradicate them, one would definitely have to pay a painful price.

In a fair duel, those assassins might not stand a chance, but when it comes to assassination techniques, they are indisputably number one in the world.

They have cultivated the Dao of assassination to such a pinnacle that it’s no longer just a skill but a form of Dao."

Wei Fan’s expression turned somewhat grim; it was evident that the assassins were no longer killing for the spirit crystals, but in pursuit of the Dao, such individuals are truly difficult to deal with.

Then, she frowned and said: "The most troublesome thing now is not knowing what assassination level they chose when hiring an assassin to kill you."

Wei Fan was puzzled: "What does this mean?"

The three descended from the sky, mounted their horses again, and Feng Hua said: "Black Nether... hmm, actually there is only one assassin organization in the Five Great Domains, called the Black Nether. Aside from the cultivation of the assassination target, Black Nether’s assassinations are classified into different levels.

They are divided into One Kill, Triple Kill, and Killing Move.

One Kill means they attempt it only once, regardless of success or failure, they won’t send out more assassins, unless someone issues a new task.

Triple Kill means they will make three assassination attempts, after three times, regardless of success or failure, they will likewise not send out more assassins.

As for Killing Move, this is the highest assassination level of the Black Nether, as long as Black Nether is around, they will dispatch endless assassins to target you, even if you become a Martial Saint, their Killing Saints will come to assassinate you."

Wei Fan looked at Feng Hua: "Only once, whether successful or not, they stop, yet others still trust them?"

He thought that after a failure, Black Nether would send even more terrifying assassins, as for assassination organizations, reputation and fame are most important, yet Black Nether categorizes assassinations by levels.

This seems quite different from his understanding of assassin organizations.

Feng Hua gave him a strange look and said: "You still underestimate Black Nether; when they dispatch assassins for an assassination task, the success rate is over ninety percent, rarely do they fail.

Besides, their assassins aren’t mundane, they can’t just receive spirit crystals and then endlessly entangle with the assassination target.

Though they are no longer just after spirit crystals, they wouldn’t do a losing business either."

Zhi Hua nodded: "In fact, for many people, once is enough. If it were me today, I should have already died; the reality is, if today’s assassination target were me, the assassins they would dispatch would be even more terrifying."

The cultivation Wei Fan displayed to the outside was Fifth Layer of Martial King, yet the assassin that came was directly Sixth Layer of Martial King, and the other side wasn’t underestimating him.

If not for his Form Follows Heart ability, as well as the Human Emperor Bell, today he would either die or be severely wounded.

"Let’s be more careful in the future; it’s very likely your assassination level is not Killing Move. The spirit crystals needed for Killing Move aren’t something ordinary people can afford; some Holy Lands might even be drained and still can’t gather enough.

It’s quite plausible for it to be One Kill or Triple Kill, but let’s be on guard as if it’s Triple Kill—endure through three attempts, and it should resolve.

They’ve probably already obtained your aura, so be more cautious when acting thereafter."

Actually, all three of them were currently in disguise; the Black Nether assassins could smoothly find Wei Fan, likely due to acquiring his aura.

Only by obtaining his aura could they track him so precisely.

They had been disguised all the way from Celestial Star City to here; it wasn’t an identity leak that allowed the assassins to find them.

"The Zilan Sect, huh?"

Although he acted a few times on the Beiding Continent, aside from the Zilan Sect event where he didn’t manage to erase his aura, every other time he erased it after battle.

Thus, it’s quite likely the Black Nether assassins were hired by the Zilan Sect; no wonder the Zilan Sect seemed to have forgotten him recently, even taking down all wanted posters; it turns out they had such a grand move in store for him.

Black Nether’s matters actually don’t concern him much. He has the Human Emperor Bell as a protection, so no matter how bizarre the assassination methods of Black Nether are, unless the Killing Saint personally comes, they can’t break through the Human Emperor Bell to harm him.

His only concern was the matter of the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations; once it was exposed, that would be truly dangerous.

Qi Daozhen has been dead for ten thousand years, yet his influence persists. If the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations is exposed, there’s no need to imagine how terrifying the consequences would be, even Martial Saints would go crazy.

The white horse galloped like the wind, but Wei Fan found himself unaffected by the matter of the assassin, although Feng Hua and Zhi Hua seemed as if they were hesitant to speak.

"If there’s something you want to say, just say it. Don’t keep it to yourself!"

Especially Feng Hua, whose emotions were the most intense. Her red lips parted several times but, in the end, said nothing.

In fact, Feng Hua knew most of his affairs, just not about the panel and the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations, which was probably because of Zhi Hua.

However, as for Zhi Hua, Wei Fan didn’t mind. If his origins from the Wilderness were exposed, so be it.

Moreover, according to rumors, this matter could probably only be kept secret for another month or two. After a month or two, those who entered the Wilderness would return.

"Did you use the Five Emperors Fist to kill that assassin just now?"

Upon hearing Wei Fan’s words, Feng Hua couldn’t hold back any longer and directly asked.

Scripture of the Three Emperors, Five Emperors Fist—these two martial arts are absolutely unmatched in the cultivation history of the Human Race.

As soon as she spoke, Zhi Hua also looked at Wei Fan expectantly, as this was a question she wanted to ask as well.

The scene just now was too similar to the legendary Five Emperors Fist.

Wei Fan nodded with a smile: "That’s right, it was the Five Emperors Fist!"

He trusted both of them, so there was nothing to hide. Moreover, it’s a martial technique and would be used earlier or later. It wasn’t like the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations, which couldn’t see the light of day.

After he said it, the two of them calmed down because they had already guessed, and it was just confirmed now.

"Are you a disciple of the Xuanyuan Peak elder?"

Zhi Hua realized immediately after speaking: "No, you only have a superficial understanding of the Xuanyuan Peak elder, so you can’t be his disciple."

Wei Fan shook his head: "Indeed, I’m not!"

"Back then, he actually left the Five Emperors Fist there..." Feng Hua murmured.

She instantly realized that after Xuanyuan Peak created the Demon Hunter Organization in the Wilderness, he must have left the Five Emperors Fist there too: "However, it seems they’ve found someone worthy of inheriting the Five Emperors Fist."

Speaking, he solemnly looked at Wei Fan: "In the future, unless necessary, try not to use the Five Emperors Fist. Once you use it, eliminate any witnesses if possible."

Wei Fan nodded!

"Where is this place you’re talking about?" Zhi Hua couldn’t help but ask.

"The Wilderness. Actually, I’m someone from the Wilderness; Feng Hua brought me out from there," Wei Fan said with a smile.

Upon these words, Zhi Hua was so shocked she almost fell off the horse: "You’re someone from the Wilderness?"

Her voice had changed slightly.

Wei Fan was already considered a prodigy, yet there was this added layer of identity from the Wilderness. Had he not been delayed there for so many years, what would his cultivation be now?

"No wonder when I asked you to go to the Wilderness earlier, you acted as if you didn’t care."

Wei Fan said: "I’m sorry, this identity would be quite troublesome if it got out, which is why I hid it from you before."

Zhi Hua shook her head, indicating she didn’t mind, and even said she would help keep the secret.

Wei Fan looked at Feng Hua: "Why should I try not to use the Five Emperors Fist? Did something happen to the Xuanyuan Peak elder?"

Feng Hua shook her head: "I don’t know if anything happened to the Xuanyuan Peak elder. However, in those years, the Xuanyuan Peak elder, with his mastery of the Five Emperors Fist, swept across the Eastern Domain, making enemies everywhere. If the Jianghu knew that the inheritor of the Five Emperors Fist had reappeared, not to mention the Human Race, those demons would want to eliminate you at all costs.

If you don’t want trouble, it’s best to use it sparingly.

Although you’re not his disciple, apart from the Xuanyuan Peak elder, you’re the second person to master the Five Emperors Fist. His enemies don’t care about such details."

Wei Fan frowned: "How could you not know? Has he not appeared in the Jianghu for a long time?"

Feng Hua looked at Zhi Hua; having just returned from the Wilderness, she didn’t know the current situation of Xuanyuan Peak. However, when she entered the Wilderness, there had been no news of Xuanyuan Peak in the Jianghu for years.

"Indeed, there has been no news of the Xuanyuan Peak elder in the Jianghu for quite some time. Maybe there is, but martial kings like us rarely access news at that level."

Wei Fan nodded; indeed, level is very important.

Just like when he was in the Wilderness, knowing that people like Wei Zhenwu guarded the depths of the Demons’ domain day and night for decades. Perhaps, in the eyes of the average Jianghu person, they too thought Wei Zhenwu had disappeared for many years, assuming he might be dead.

The three of them continued to perform chivalrous acts and roamed the Jianghu.

Along the way, Wei Fan found himself not getting too involved, while Feng Hua and Zhi Hua took it seriously. They asked everyone they met about evil-doers, where demons lurked, or if there were corrupt officials.

In short, no matter the size of the matter, the two were happy to perform acts of chivalry, leaving the name of the Three White Horse Heroes everywhere they went.
