The Devil's Tribulation

Young Master Wu didn't know what to say. He just felt that he had really gotten into trouble this time, as if his father couldn't protect him! County Magistrate Wu continued, "The man in Beijing is in his prime, and he is working hard to govern the country and wants to make a difference. In recent years, there have been constant frictions with the State of Chu. I think the next war will come soon. And which of the princes in Beijing doesn't want to show off in front of him?! He came here at this critical moment, and he should be going to the border to investigate." Seeing his son's face falling, he comforted him, "You don't have to worry too much. After all, this kind of thing is not a big deal in the eyes of those people. And I have handled it according to the law, so they won't take it to heart." When Young Master Wu heard this, his face looked better: "Is that person still in Li County now?" County Magistrate Wu shook his head: "He left, but I don't know if he will leave Li County again when he comes back. You should stay at home to recuperate during this period of time, and don't go out." County Magistrate Wu walked to the bed again and looked at the wound on his son's buttocks. Although the skin was torn, the bones were not really injured. The people under his command still knew the severity of the situation.

After feeling sorry for his son for a while, County Magistrate Wu continued, "This time, Sun Erleng was the one who offended the prince first, and then he came to me to ask for the spiritual herbs. I guess he wanted to make amends. I didn't give in, and so I completely fell out with Sun Erleng. And for some reason, Sun Erleng turned a disaster into a blessing and followed the prince to run errands. Your matter is not a big deal, but it is not a small one either. If Sun Erleng had spread rumors in front of the prince and exaggerated it, it is not impossible for me to lose my job." County Magistrate Wu was really foresighted. Sun Erleng had wanted to flatter him before, but it was a pity that Pan Chengfeng was not a real prince.

When Master Wu heard that his father might lose his job because of his matter, he became nervous and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Magistrate Wu: "You don't have to worry. The reason why you were beaten with a board at the gate of the county government this time was for His Highness to see. This way, Sun Erleng can't make a fuss about this matter. But to be on the safe side, your father has sent someone to deliver the spiritual herbs to Master Lu tonight, and a letter to Prefect Lu of Fancheng." Hearing that his father had made all the arrangements, Master Wu finally felt relieved.

Pan Chengfeng left Li County and rushed back carrying the tripod. At first, he didn't feel anything about the tripod weighing several thousand kilograms, but after a while, Pan Chengfeng began to feel tired and his arms became more and more sore. He switched his left and right hands several times, and finally stopped halfway, panting and saying, "Damn it, I can't do it anymore, I have to find a place to rest." In the middle of the night, the moon was also covered by dark clouds. Pan Chengfeng casually found a large rock to block the wind. The tripod made a bang, and the floor shook. Then he sat down and panted, saying, "It seems that I can carry the tripod to exercise my strength and endurance in the future. The Red Mountains are so big that no one will notice me carrying the tripod on the mountain every day." After speaking, he wiped the sweat off his face. Pan Chengfeng planned to rest here at night and carry the tripod back early tomorrow morning.

In the middle of the night, Pan Chengfeng was sleeping soundly when suddenly a loud "boom" sound came from the sky. Pan Chengfeng was startled, sat up, and immediately hid under the rock. The "boom" sound was getting closer and closer. Pan Chengfeng felt that the sound came from the sky, and then looked up in the sky to find the source of the sound. Suddenly, he saw two lights coming from far away, one white and one blue. Pan Chengfeng was shocked: "Cultivator?" Then he saw two people stepping on swords, one in front and one behind, one chasing and one fleeing, and they stopped above Pan Chengfeng's head.

After the white sword light blocked the green sword light, a burst of laughter came out: "Haha, you still want to escape, can you escape? Hurry up and hand over the spiritual medicine, I will give you a quick death!" Another voice sounded: "You Bai family members are simply bullying others. I found this spiritual medicine first. Why should I give it to you?" Pan Chengfeng hid behind the rock and took a sneak peek. Two monks, one wearing green clothes was in a mess, and his clothes were seriously damaged. One was wearing white clothes. Although he was also a little embarrassed, he looked like he was at ease. He secretly hated in his heart: "It's so unlucky that I can encounter this. Don't let innocent people suffer." The man in white laughed and said, "Why? Just because I am better than you! Just because our Bai family is stronger than your Han family!" Pan Chengfeng said in his heart: "What nonsense, hurry up and finish the fight and leave! Otherwise, you can fight in another place!" After hearing the words of the man in white, the man in green turned pale and blue, which matched the color of their clothes very well.

Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "It seems that cultivation resources are really scarce. It's just a spiritual herb, is it worth risking your life?" In the past, when Uncle Niu said that cultivation resources were precious, he didn't really understand it. Now seeing two cultivators risking their lives for a spiritual herb, Pan Chengfeng experienced it firsthand. While Pan Chengfeng was still thinking about cultivation resources, the two cultivators finally started to fight, and he heard the man in green shouting, "Even if I die, I will not give you the spiritual herb! Even if it is destroyed, I will not let your Bai family get it!"

After that, the two men started fighting. The two men circled above Pan Chengfeng's head, and their colorful spells collided with each other, but they never left Pan Chengfeng's head. Pan Chengfeng looked anxious: "Is this a fight between cultivators? This is too slow! Is this a test of endurance?" The spells had been fighting for more than ten minutes, and the man in green was slowly exhausted. The attack of the man from the Bai family was getting closer and closer to him, and the man from the Han family could only deal with it tiredly. After another five minutes, the man in green finally couldn't hold on anymore, and was hit in the chest by a fire spell. He fell from the sky with a "ah~" sound, and a small pit was smashed with a "bang" fifty meters away from Pan Chengfeng. It seemed that if he didn't die, he would be disabled.

After a breath, the Bai family man flew to the side of the pit where the Han family man was. He looked back at Pan Chengfeng and confirmed that there was no power fluctuation. He thought to himself, "Fortunately, he is a mortal. I will deal with him later." Then he looked at the Han family man and sneered, "You ungrateful thing. I wanted to give you a quick death, but now it's a luxury for you to die!" After that, he reached into the arms of the Han family man. At this moment, the Han family man suddenly opened his eyes, and a talisman appeared in his hand. The white-clothed man was shocked and said, "Thunder talisman!" Then he heard the Han family man shout, "Hurry!" A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit the white-clothed man accurately, making a loud 'boom' sound. After two or three breaths, the Bai family man was seen lying on the ground with a charred body, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. Pan Chengfeng secretly smacked his lips, "Talisman? So powerful?"

The Han family man stood up and coughed up a mouthful of blood. His face was pale, and he looked at the talisman in his hand with some pain. He bought this at a high price in the black market, which basically emptied his wallet. Looking at the charred corpse on the ground, he said: "You are at a higher level than me, but your brain is not very good. Now I have taken your life, and your things are also mine!" After that, he went to touch the corpse. After touching the corpse for a long time, he found nothing. Just when he was wondering, he suddenly saw a ring on the finger of the Bai family man, and his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously: "Is it a storage magic weapon? Is this guy a direct descendant of the Bai family?" He quickly took off the ring and used his mental power to check inside. His mouth was almost crooked with laughter: "Haha, I didn't expect that this idiot was actually a direct descendant of the Bai family. The thunder control talisman was not used in vain!!" After laughing for a while, he suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Not good! The direct descendants all have life cards. Now that they are dead, their families will definitely know. We have to leave quickly!"

Pan Chengfeng saw the man from the Han family, grinning foolishly, thinking he must have gotten something interesting. However, he did not understand the methods of the cultivators, so he thought it was better to have less trouble than more. Just as he was about to leave secretly, the man from the Han family suddenly said, "Where do you want to go?" Pan Chengfeng was startled, then turned around and bowed nervously and said, "Immortal, please spare me! Immortal, please spare me!" The man from the Han family showed sarcasm on his face, "What are you afraid of? I won't do anything to you. Remember not to mention that you have seen me when you go back." Pan Chengfeng immediately replied, "I know, I will keep it a secret! I didn't see anything!" The man from the Han family waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Okay, go back." Pan Chengfeng turned around and ran as if he had been pardoned. The man from the Han family thought to himself, "Blame your bad luck. You saw things you shouldn't have seen. I hope you can be reborn into a good family in your next life."

Although Pan Chengfeng turned and ran, he was always paying attention to the movements of the Han family man. He had only run a few steps when he felt the man behind him move. That's right, how could the Han family man let him go? He killed the direct descendant of the Bai family, and this matter must not be known to anyone. Otherwise, the Bai family will hunt him down to the heavens and the earth. Therefore, he must kill Pan Chengfeng, and only the dead can keep a secret! However, he had a fierce battle with the Bai family man before, and his magic power was exhausted. The only remaining magic power was also used to drive the talisman. But as a cultivator, his physical strength is not comparable to that of mortals. Just when Pan Chengfeng turned around, he took out a dagger from his arms, rushed to the back of Pan Chengfeng, and planned to kill this unlucky mortal with one knife.

Just as Han Jianan approached Pan Chengfeng's back, Pan Chengfeng's eyes flashed with coldness. He used his left foot as the axis, turned quickly, raised his right fist, and punched Han Jianan in the face. With a loud bang, Han Jianan flew thirty or forty meters like a skipping stone. Finally, he hit a big rock and stopped. Pan Chengfeng slowly approached, and when the dust settled, he saw Han Jianan lying on the ground motionless. After a few breaths, seeing that Han Jianan was still motionless, he estimated that he was not dead but fainted. Pan Chengfeng then approached, squatted down, and planned to touch the corpse. Suddenly, Han Jianan opened his eyes, holding the previous thunder-controlling talisman between his index and middle fingers, and was about to shout "Ji". As a result, Ji did not shout out, but turned into a scream: "Ah!!!~" Pan Chengfeng loosened Han Jianan's five fingers that were almost rotten, and sneered: "Do you really think you can do everything with one trick? You fought to the death, and in the end, I got the advantage."
