Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 43: Han Family of Su City

At the entrance of Yun City, Luo Wen had already arranged a team here. When he saw Wei Fan dragging Old Bear’s corpse, the city gate was immediately shut. Simultaneously, someone rode swiftly to deliver the news of Old Bear’s death to the three Captains.

Wei Fan, along with Hu Qing and Zhou Qi, hurried back to the East District Government Office, where they had planned to have dinner with Ning Xuan and the others that evening.

Upon their arrival, Luo Wen had already gathered all the governmental officers, ready and waiting.

"Head to the West District!"

As soon as the three appeared, Luo Wen immediately ordered the departure.

"I discussed with the three Captains; they each will clear their respective territories. With the West District Captain dead and no expert left, we need to assist the West District in taking down the Yellow Immortal Gang!"

Luo Wen moved closer to explain to Wei Fan.

Within Yun City’s Inner City, there were no such gang forces; only the four districts had them. The East District had long been cleansed by Wei Fan, leaving the south, north, and west districts with gangs supported by demons.

The East District had a Captain too, but the East District Captain hadn’t appeared for a long time, and Wei Fan didn’t know where he went.

Wei Fan nodded, and declared loudly, "Brothers, today’s operation is quite large. The entire city’s government office will act to eliminate all factions colluding with demons. We’re going to arrest many people, the prison might not be able to hold them all, so when we make a move, try to kill as many as possible, avoid capturing them alive."

The Yellow Immortal Gang in the West District was a gang collecting treasures and beauties for demon Huang Daxian, and also provided human meals. Living conditions there were even worse than in the East District, with people disappearing every day.

"Try to kill as many as possible, avoid capturing them alive!"

Someone shouted back, eyes bright with excitement. The best part of working with Wei Fan was the freedom to act without restraint.

"Today, the West District shall see rivers of blood!"

Luo Wen did not try to dissuade them, knowing it was futile, and Wei Fan was right. Capturing too many people would overcrowd the prison, and since they were all scum, killing them outright was simpler.

As Wei Fan and his team reached the West District, the constables of the West District were already prepared. As soon as the two sides met, they marched towards the Yellow Immortal Gang’s stronghold.

"Chief Wei, we surrender!"

Clearly, the news had leaked. By the time Wei Fan and his group reached the Yellow Immortal Gang’s stronghold, most of the gang members had gathered, shouting their surrender.

This scene was somewhat unexpected; everyone looked at Wei Fan to see how he would handle it.

"Surrender, yet still holding weapons?"

Wei Fan swept his gaze over the crowd, noticing several people still armed.

"Kill!"

This time, he couldn’t be bothered to utter words about sparing the disarmed. With a loud shout, he gave them no time to explain or lay down their weapons, charging directly into the crowd.

The constables of the West District stood in a daze, while those of the East District followed Wei Fan into the fray, creating a sudden uproar of terrified screams.

"We’ve laid down our weapons!"

"Run quickly!"

"This Wei Fan is the real demon; I knew surrendering wouldn’t spare us."

"Fight to the death with them!"

Wei Fan charged into the throng, killing anyone who reacted on the panel.

Compared to the Fierce Tiger Gang, the Yellow Immortal Gang had more people; the slaughter lasted nearly a minute before it ended.

When it was over, the courtyard of the Yellow Immortal Gang was stained red with blood, bodies strewn everywhere, leaving only seven or eight survivors out of over a hundred people.

Ugh...

The sight made some officers vomit immediately, their faces turning pale.

"Please, colleagues of the West District, handle the corpses; we’re off to check the other districts!"

Wei Fan hadn’t killed enough; these were all contributing to his power.

[Current Power Level: 271 years]

He glanced at the panel, finding he had only gained just over a hundred years of power.

With his impending transfer to the Demon Suppression Bureau, he had to gather as much power as possible.

An hour later, Wei Fan returned with the East District officers. The other Captains had not wasted time; by the time they arrived, the forces colluding with demons in other districts had already been eradicated!

"My knife broke again, get me a new one!"

Wei Fan sought out Luo Wen; although the arrest officer’s saber was lousy, he couldn’t do without it.

Luo Wen sighed, "How long has it been? You’ve gone through several knives; wait, I’ll get you a better Captain’s saber."

Following that, Wei Fan awaited the end of his shift, then set out to meet Ning Xuan and the others.

On this day, the entire city of Yun City was in jubilant celebration.

First, there was the death of the tyrannical City Lord, and now, the demon-supported gangs had been eradicated. There was every reason to rejoice.

In the streets, rumors spread that Chief Wei Fan had slain Old Bear outside the city, and that the demons in Yun City would soon vanish.

"Something’s wrong, Lord Pan is in trouble. We’re too late!"

Three fine stallions galloped furiously through the streets of Yun City.

Listening to the street chatter, Han Qian’s expression shifted.

They had rushed day and night upon the Cloud City Lord’s plea for help, only to arrive a step too late—the Cloud City Lord had already been killed by demons.

The three horses sped their way into the Inner City and to the City Lord’s Mansion, adorned with white silk everywhere, leaving no doubt in Han Qian and his companions’ minds.

"We are from the Han Family of Su City. Quickly take us to see the Lady and the Second Young Master!"

The three dismounted and hurriedly stepped forward to identify themselves.

On hearing this, the servant guarding the gate replied mournfully, "Why have you come only now? The Second Young Master and the City Lord have both been murdered!"

At this, the faces of Han Qian and his companions changed again: "Those vile demons! Take us to see the Lady; we must slay the demon to avenge Lord Pan and the Second Young Master."

The three followed the servant into the City Lord’s Mansion, listening as the servant spoke, "No need; that demon has already been slain by a Chief named Wei Fan from the government office. The Lady now only hopes for the Second Young Master and the City Lord to return to their roots."

On learning that the demon was dead, Han Qian’s expression improved somewhat: "Indeed, they should return to their roots."

The Cloud City Lord had been the Lord of Yun City for several decades, managing it disastrously yet without issues. Naturally, he had strong backing.

The Cloud City Lord’s wife was one of their own—a woman from the Han Family in Su City.

This time, as the City Lord’s Mansion fell under demonic manipulation, the Cloud City Lord dared not seek aid from Su City officials, fearing it might expose the severe demon crisis in Yun City if outsiders were involved, hence the call for help went to the Han Family.

After a while, they met with the Cloud City Lord’s elder wife, the woman married off from the Han Family.

"My deepest sympathies, dear Aunt!"

Han Qian wore a grief-stricken look; according to their familial hierarchy, she was his aunt.

"You’ve finally come; you must seek justice for your uncle and cousin."

Upon seeing the Han Family representatives, the City Lord’s Lady broke into tears, narrating amidst her sobs how Wei Fan didn’t heed the orders, leading to the City Lord’s death.

"I’m going to kill this Wei Fan!"

Han Bai rose, his face full of murderous intent.

Though the City Lord was slain by demons, Wei Fan’s inaction also made him an accomplice.

Han Qian and the other man’s expressions were equally grim. They had believed the City Lord died because no one in Yun City was capable of vanquishing the chaotic demons in the mansion.

It turned out to be entirely different: Wei Fan had the ability to uncover and slay the demons but watched the City Lord die at their hands due to his hatred for the City Lord’s leniency towards demon havoc over the years, as he focused solely on looting the people’s wealth.

Others might hate the City Lord for this, but not them, for the wealth amassed by the City Lord was all sent to the Han Family in Su City.

"To openly murder a Chief, do you want to bring trouble to the Han Family?"

Han Qian restrained Han Bai, for with the City Lord dead, whoever Su City would appoint next as Yun City’s Lord was uncertain, and despite their animosity towards Wei Fan, they couldn’t brazenly kill him given his rising prestige in Yun City.

"Escort Aunt back to Su City, and I’ll find an opportunity to kill Wei Fan!"
