Chapter 381: Chapter 200: Who Do You Think Is as Fierce as You? Add Illusion Moon Body Technique_2

It’s impossible to let go of someone like this because chopping down Zhong Zhenyu might cause chaos in Yunzhou.

If a Demon Hunter is overly cautious, the Demon Fiends will only push further.

Moreover, worrying about so many things still depends on whether Wei Fan agrees to go to Yunzhou. If Wei Fan doesn’t agree to go, he doesn’t have the courage to investigate a Four-Colored General Martial Venerable, possibly at the Golden Body Eighth Forging.

"Not ready yet?" Wei Fan shouted to Ji Qingyue.

"Almost done!"

Ji Qingyue answered and returned satisfied after a short while.

The Yunhua Sect is built in the heart of Demon Fiend territory, and every bit of resource must be fought for by the disciples against the Demon Fiends. Today’s harvest made her, as a Martial Venerable, couldn’t help but feel a burst of excitement.

"We are going to Yunzhou to investigate the General Zhong Zhenyu there, do you want to join?" Wei Fan asked Ji Qingyue.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunfei showed a look of joy: "You agreed to go?"

Wei Fan nodded, saying that with so many Demon Venerables in Yunzhou, even if he doesn’t investigate Zhong Zhenyu, he’s interested in the place.

Ji Qingyue also nodded.

"Lead the way!"

As Wei Fan’s voice fell, Li Yunfei immediately took the lead to fly into the sky, followed by Wei Fan and Ji Qingyue, the three of them disappeared into the ruins of the Bright Moon Sect.

As the three figures completely vanished into the horizon, some disciples of the Bright Moon Sect who hadn’t gone far returned, staring dumbfoundedly at the ruins before them.

They hoped to scavenge, but found that any valuable items had been taken, even the Divine Soldiers concentrating heavens’ Great Trend were taken, leaving the Bright Moon Sect a true ruin without the Mighty Power to deter Demon Fiends, even rebuilding cannot restore its former grandeur.

"This Demon, having harmed the Great Victory Dynasty, has come to harm my Daqian Kingdom now!" a disciple of the Bright Moon Sect roared unwillingly.

Although the Bright Moon Sect in the Daqian Kingdom is considered a Martial Arts Holy Land, now it’s left with nothing. Not to mention the Divine Skill Secret Manuals and Treasures, even the buildings were flattened.

"Stop whining here, if you have the ability, roar in front of Wei Fan. It’s already merciful that he didn’t kill us, if it weren’t for the Sect Leader and Elders trying to kill him, would he have wiped out the Bright Moon Sect?"

"That’s right, if he was really as brutal as the rumors say, none of us would be alive."

"He just repays his grudges, without bullying the weak. Leave, it’s better that this sect, where the Sect Leader went to kill and rob, even joined with the Netherworld Sect’s Demon Head, got destroyed, lest it falls to a Demonic Sect one day."

...

Yunzhou of Daqian Kingdom, geographically similar to Tongzhou of the Great Victory Dynasty, also borders areas occupied by powerful Demon Fiends.

The difference is that in the battles between the Demon Suppression Bureau and the Demon Fiends here, the Human Race loses more than wins, making life unbearable for the people.

No, it’s not unbearable because all those who suffer from the demons have died.

"What a paradise for Demon Fiends!"

Upon entering the realm of Yunzhou, Wei Fan noticed a faint stench in the air and a spread of Demon Qi invisible to the naked eye.

The three descended from the sky, beginning to walk on foot.

Li Yunfei, himself a Martial Venerable of Daqian Kingdom, known and thus disguised himself.

Wei Fan and Ji Qingyue are not from the Daqian Kingdom, and though Wei Fan had gained some renown here, few had seen his face, so neither he nor Ji Qingyue changed their appearances.

"According to my friend, who was that now-deceased Inspector, he saw in the Chu Kingdom a Demon Venerable dead for a few years yet still alive, thus deducing Zhong Zhenyu might be colluding with Demon Fiends..."

In the struggle between the Human Race and Demon Fiends, deaths among Demon Venerables and Martial Venerables of this level are rare, Pod and Black Lake Jiao Venerable have fought countless years without defeating each other.

So a Demon Venerable falling is, if not rare in the Human Race world, not common either, usually causing a sensation when it happens.

The Demon Venerable seen by the deceased Inspector was killed by Zhong Zhenyu years ago, causing a sensation. At that time Zhong Zhenyu received many rewards from Daqian Kingdom for this.

The Inspector suddenly discovered that the Martial Venerable, that should have been dead, was alive and well somewhere else, naturally suspecting Zhong Zhenyu of foul play.

After all, there are many examples of the Demon Suppression Bureau colluding with Demon Fiends, mutually benefiting from one another.

Sending some weak Demon Fiends to me for merit, while I send some insignificant people for you to consume.

Or pretending to die and going elsewhere, letting me gain merit for ’killing’ you, many like these have been uncovered.

"He discussed with me the direction of investigation. First, he would go see the place where Zhong Zhenyu killed the Demon Venerable, then investigate the Commander who witnessed it...

I don’t know what he found, but I think there’s no need to see where the Demon Venerable was killed, it should have nothing, even if there was, it’s likely covered up, let’s directly investigate this Commander..."

At night, the three entered a small city named Qingshui. Although small, it stationed many troops of the Demon Suppression Bureau, because it bordered the Demon Realm, and the City Lord here is none other than the Commander who witnessed Zhong Zhenyu kill a Demon Venerable.

The atmosphere here is heavy, and it seems as if there’s no life force in anyone’s eyes.

The citizens of this city in spirit cannot be compared to the confident inhabitants of Cyan Cloud City, where everyone fights with vigor, whereas here everyone carries an aura of despair.

After dinner, the three found an inn to stay at, planning to investigate this Commander during the night at the City Lord’s Mansion.

Wei Fan wasn’t in favor, for as long as he looked, whether there was collusion with Demon Fiends would be clear and straightforward to capture directly, but this couldn’t be said openly.

He entered his room and opened his panel:

[Golden Body·Second Forging (100%)]

[Illusion Moon Body Technique (Uninitiated)]

...

[Ordinary Power: 73,600 years]

[Golden Body Power: 330 years]

With three hundred years of Golden Body Power, it’s sufficient to elevate his cultivation to Golden Body Fifth Forging, though he didn’t intend to do so. Upcoming actions would be required, elevating overnight from Golden Body Second Forging to Fifth Forging might be too startling.

Furthermore, elevating cultivation to Third Forging should suffice to resolve Yunzhou’s matters, no rush to raise it to Fifth Forging in one go.

With a thought, the panel flickered:

[One year Golden Body Power, you began the third forging of the Golden Body]

[Two years Golden Body Power, your Golden Body Third Forging reached one percent completion]

...

Wei Fan frowned: "The gold turned seven-colored, and during forging, the needed Golden Body Power doubled!"

Previously, one year of Golden Body Power completed one percent of forging, now it requires two years to achieve one percent.

"Makes sense, Seven-Colored Golden Body, the power and potential of gold are not just doubled as before, needing more Golden Body Power is only natural!"

Like a bottle becoming larger, it naturally requires more water to fill it; it’s impossible for the required water to remain unchanged as the bottle grows.

He quickly figured out this detail, though he originally believed three hundred years of Golden Body Power could elevate cultivation to Golden Body Fifth Forging, yet now it’s insufficient even for the Fourth Forging.

As Golden Body Power was consumed, the Golden Body began its third forging, and Wei Fan’s bones and muscles emitted a sound as if being "compacted", the strength and intensity quickly enhancing.

At some moment, his entire body shook, and even stronger power surged from every inch of his flesh, overwhelming qi blood and life force like a river, seemingly on the verge of overflowing, only to be forcibly suppressed by him.

If he were to allow this overwhelming qi blood to erupt, within a span of several hundred meters, aside from Ji Qingyue and Li Yunfei, no one else would survive, even the Divine Realm Martial Sect Masters would be shaken to death by such tidal qi blood.

Wei Fan opened his eyes: "Golden Body Third Forging is complete, the feeling of directly elevating cultivation is still so exhilarating!"

[Golden Body·Third Forging (100%)]

[Golden Body Power: 130 years]

With the Golden Body Third Forging complete, he is now at the Early-stage Martial Venerable Perfection, and the next breakthrough will mark the Mid-Martial Venerable stage.

He broke through to Martial Venerable only about a month ago, including seven or eight days spent in the Sub-Palace posing.

"Next, I will advance the Illusory Moon Step to Perfection!"
