The Devil's Tribulation

Seeing that Ye Sheng was talking nonsense, Pan Chengfeng wanted to continue asking, but when he found that the flying sword was already falling, he had to shut up and think about how to escape. Ye Sheng brought Pan Chengfeng to land on a rocky mountain and walked to the entrance of a stone cave. There were two cultivators guarding the entrance. Pan Chengfeng felt it and found that the fluctuation of mana was not as strong as Ye Sheng's. He thought to himself: "He should also be a Qi training disciple. This will be easy." The two disciples at the door saw Ye Sheng coming with people and hurriedly bowed and said: "Hello, Uncle Master Ye." Ye Sheng waved his hand and said: "We caught a suspicious person. Although he is only at the third level of Qi training, you should keep an eye on him. He may be a spy sent by the other two families!" The two bowed and agreed. Pan Chengfeng rolled his eyes and said: "Senior, I'm really not a spy. How can there be such a low-level person to be a spy? Isn't this delivering food to the Zhong family?"

Ye Sheng glared and said, "It's not up to you to decide. Just stay in there obediently!" Then he pushed Pan Chengfeng in front of two Qi training disciples. Each of them grabbed Pan Chengfeng's arm and pulled him directly into the cave. Seeing Pan Chengfeng being pulled in, Ye Sheng laughed and said, "Isn't this also a credit?" Then he flew back to the Misty Forest to continue his duty. Pan Chengfeng, who was being dragged, observed the terrain all the way. He found that he was getting deeper and deeper. After walking about three or four hundred meters, he saw some prison cells. All of them were cages made of unknown metals. They were square and just big enough for one person. Some of the cages already had some prisoners in them, and their hands and feet were chained. Pan Chengfeng's eyes twitched, "This is not much bigger than a pig cage, and they just stuffed me in there! Mr. Ye, I'll remember you!"

After Pan Chengfeng was stuffed in, he couldn't even turn around. It was uncomfortable! After the two saw Pan Chengfeng locked up, they laughed and said, "This is a chain and cage made of black iron. Even a Jindan cultivator can't break free. You just stay here." After locking them up, the two Qi training disciples left with a smile, chatting as they walked: "After the shift, we'll go to the town to play. I heard that a group of new girls came to Zuixianju. They are all good goods at the sixth or seventh level of Qi training..." Seeing that the two had gone far away, Pan Chengfeng tried hard to test the strength of the chain and cage, thinking to himself, "It's really hard. I just don't know if I can break free with the Overlord Fist. I'll try again in the middle of the night."

Pan Chengfeng counted the time in the cage. After a few hours, he thought it was midnight, which was about midnight. Pan Chengfeng looked at the cages around him and saw that the prisoners there were also asleep, so he quietly used the Overlord Fist. White mist came out of his body. Pan Chengfeng exerted force with both hands, and the chain on his hand snapped. Pan Chengfeng was delighted: "What Jindan cultivator can't break free? I just pulled it apart with a little force." What Pan Chengfeng didn't know was that he was much stronger than a Jindan cultivator now. He broke the anklet and used both hands to pull the cage open. With a sizzle, the black iron in Pan Chengfeng's hand was not much different from a cotton swab. Pan Chengfeng put away the Overlord Fist. He got out of the cage, looked around, recognized the way he came, and quietly moved out.

There were no guards along the way, and they approached the exit smoothly. Seeing that there were still two Qi training disciples guarding the door, Pan Chengfeng thought to himself: "It seems that this is not a place to detain important people. There are no guards, and the only guard is a Qi training cultivator." Pan Chengfeng rushed over, and before the two Qi training cultivators could react, they were knocked out by Pan Chengfeng's hand knife. Pan Chengfeng looked at the two unconscious guards and smiled: "Since we are here, we can't go back empty-handed, right?" He touched the pockets of the two disciples and found that there were really goods! Pan Chengfeng smiled and put a dozen low-grade crystal beads into the storage ring, then took off the clothes of a taller disciple, pulled the two into the cave, and changed their clothes when they came out. He looked up and down and thought to himself: "It's a little small, so I'll just wear it for now."

Pan Chengfeng easily descended the rocky mountain, and then followed the route he remembered, fleeing in the direction he came from. On the way, he met several waves of patrolling Zhong family monks, all led by foundation-building monks. Pan Chengfeng carefully avoided them all, wondering, "Why are there so many patrols? It doesn't seem right. The man surnamed Ma said 'special period' during the day. Is there something big happening in the Zhong family?" Pan Chengfeng didn't have time to think too much, he had to escape first. No matter what happened to the Zhong family, it had nothing to do with him.

Along the way, Pan Chengfeng encountered more and more patrol teams in the sky and on the ground. He could only hide and run at the same time. He definitely could not increase his speed. He arrived at Zhongjia Town safely. When he saw the town, Pan Chengfeng said secretly: "About 10 kilometers to the east is the forest where I came in." The biggest purpose of this trip has been achieved. Pan Chengfeng now wants to leave here quietly and then go to Qingxu Town to spend money.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. As soon as he entered Zhongjia Town, he sensed a group of cultivators. The dozen or so people in the lead made Pan Chengfeng feel difficult: "Golden Core cultivators?" Pan Chengfeng's eyes twitched and he said, "They can't be here to arrest me, right? I'm a third-level Qi training cultivator, how could I possibly alarm so many Golden Core cultivators?" Just as he thought of this, Pan Chengfeng's heart suddenly beat wildly, and an invisible pressure came from behind. Pan Chengfeng hurriedly hid in the firewood pile, restraining all his breath to the extreme, even controlling his heartbeat to the extent of a slight jump every ten seconds.

About two or three breaths later, Pan Chengfeng saw five rays of light in the sky, passing over his head rapidly. Pan Chengfeng was sweating profusely, because the leading ray of light made him feel absolutely dangerous. The auras of the other four rays of light were also very scary. Pan Chengfeng didn't dare to do anything now, and could only pray that the few people would leave quickly. Unfortunately, the good didn't work, and the bad worked. The five rays of light fell into the town one after another. Pan Chengfeng was already dumbfounded: "Are they really here to arrest me? Am I so important?"

The head of the Zhong family, Li Qianer, has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. She is already two hundred years old this year, but she is still beautiful. She is wearing a red dress, has an oval face, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, white skin, fiery lips, plump breasts and a thin waist. She really looks like an attractive wife. Li Qianer's husband is the previous head of the Zhong family, Zhong Tao, but unfortunately he failed when he tried to break through to the Spiritualization stage. After Zhong Tao's death, the Zhong family entered a period of leaderlessness. Fortunately, the ancestor of the Zhong family stepped forward, overwhelmed everyone, and helped Li Qianer, who was only at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage at the time, to take the position. Li Qianer did not disappoint the ancestor. With superb means, she soon took control of the entire Zhong family and led the Zhong family to become the number one family in Fancheng.

After the five beams of light fell, Li Qianer looked at the dozen or so Jindan cultivators and said, "Why make such a big scene? Let the foundation-building disciples go back. We are enough!" Her tone was full of unquestionable confidence. A kind-looking Yuanying elder behind her said worriedly, "Master, after all, two families are coming together. We should be careful." Li Qianer turned her head and stared at the elder and said, "Does the elder have no confidence in the master of this family, or in the Zhong family?" The elder hurriedly said, "I don't mean that. After all, the master of the family has not recovered yet. It's better to be safe than sorry." Li Qianer sneered, "Bai Cheng and Han Bin are two cowards. I don't even take them seriously. Do as I say."

Pan Chengfeng was a mile away from the others, and he dared not use his spiritual sense to send out, but his ears were very sharp. He heard every word of the conversation between the several people. After hearing what Li Qianer said, Pan Chengfeng thought to himself: "Bai Cheng, Han Bin? The other two families are coming? It seems that they are not here to be guests. They are more like looking for trouble. I can't be so unlucky that I can pick a day for others to fight?" Pan Chengfeng was annoyed: "Or should I go back to jail? Don't let others get hurt." Zhongjia Town is the only way to leave, and Pan Chengfeng can't bypass them. Just when he was thinking about whether to go back to "jail" first, the foundation-building disciples of the Zhong family had already left, and went back to their guard duty or rest. Pan Chengfeng was now sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and saw the arrogant king Ye Sheng from a distance, and saw him flying towards him on a flying sword.

Seeing that all the disciples had left, Li Qian'er took the lead and flew towards the forest exit. Several elders and those Jindan cultivators followed. Pan Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that those big guys had flown away. Turning his head to look at Ye Sheng flying on the sword, Pan Chengfeng smiled strangely and immediately followed him, saying with a sly smile: "Middle-grade crystal bead, the master is here."

Pan Chengfeng followed Ye Sheng all the way. Although he was flying, his speed was only 200 kilometers at most. Pan Chengfeng easily caught up with him. He followed him all the way to a mountain peak. Seeing Ye Sheng land on the mountain peak, Pan Chengfeng hurriedly followed him to the foot of the mountain. When his spiritual sense was activated, he was dumbfounded: "Damn, so many caves? Which one is that kid's cave?" Pan Chengfeng's spiritual sense sensed that there were sixty or seventy caves on the mountain peak, most of which were occupied by people, all of whom were foundation-building disciples. Pan Chengfeng thought to himself: "This should be the dormitory of the foundation-building disciples. That kid is very arrogant. He should choose the cave above as his cave. Let's search from the top down." The entire mountain peak is about four or five hundred meters high and is divided into seven layers. There are more than a dozen caves on each layer. Pan Chengfeng decided to search from the highest place downwards. Pan Chengfeng's current sensing distance is about 300 meters in radius. It will be blurry if it is farther away.

He concealed his aura all the way to the seventh floor. The whole mountain was very quiet, and most people were meditating and practicing. Pan Chengfeng was very cautious and did not dare to make any noise. His spiritual sense did not sense Ye Sheng on the seventh floor, and there were some cave doors that his spiritual sense could not penetrate. Pan Chengfeng did not dare to use too much force, so he had no choice but to continue looking on the sixth floor.

After one trip, there were more than a hundred caves, and only a dozen of them were left that the spirit could not pass through. After confirming that the boy was in these dozen caves, Pan Chengfeng was a little puzzled, thinking to himself: "The doors of these caves should have been tampered with. Could it be the legendary formation? Aren't formations very expensive? Foundation Establishment disciples have them?" In fact, Pan Chengfeng was wrong. This was not a formation at all, but just a simple restriction to prevent others from peeping.

Pan Chengfeng chuckled: "Do you think I can't find you like this? Don't I know how to 'ask' people?" Pan Chengfeng touched a cave in the corner of the first floor and sensed that there was a disciple in the first foundation building stage. Pan Chengfeng decided: "It's him." He took out his nightgown, put on a mask, and after getting ready, he slowly approached the cave. Seeing that the disciple was still meditating, Pan Chengfeng used his light body technique and appeared directly behind the man. Before the man could react, Pan Chengfeng had raised his hand and knocked him out. Then he carried the man out of the cave, came to a small forest, and threw him to the ground.

As usual, he searched the man first and found a dozen low-grade crystal beads. Pan Chengfeng said disdainfully, "Poor fellow! Not even as good as a Qi training disciple!" Then he woke him up. When the disciple woke up, he was about to scream, but before he could make a sound, his neck was grabbed. Then he heard a deep voice, "If you dare to make a sound, I will break your neck. Nod if you understand." How could he not obey when his life was in their hands? The foundation-building disciple nodded.

Pan Chengfeng slightly relaxed his palm and asked, "Which floor and which cave is the Ye in?" The disciple said weakly, "Which Ye? There are at least three brothers with the surname Ye here." Pan Chengfeng thought for a moment and said, "The third floor of foundation building, the arrogant one." As soon as Pan Chengfeng finished speaking, the disciple's eyes lit up and asked hurriedly, "Are you talking about that guy Ye Sheng?" Pan Chengfeng was slightly stunned. From the tone of his voice, it seemed that he was not very friendly. Then he asked, "How come you have a grudge against him too?" The disciple said bitterly, "In the competition last year, he deliberately injured me severely. I haven't recovered from my injuries until now, and my realm has been stuck at the first level. It's all because of him. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so easily controlled by you!"
