The Devil's Tribulation

A series of bangs and Pan Chengfeng's voice came from the forest: "Ah, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit!!" Pan Chengfeng stopped only when he could no longer feel the wind from his fists hitting any objects. He looked at the empty sky and thought to himself: "He should be dead, right?" Pan Chengfeng's spiritual sense was fully activated. He suddenly ran towards a place, jumped onto a big tree in a few seconds, reached out to a small tree hole, and grabbed out a transparent object. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zhong Tianxu's Nascent Soul, but now it was so transparent that it was almost invisible. If it weren't for Pan Chengfeng's sharp spiritual sense, he really wouldn't have been able to find him. The Nascent Soul said in panic: "Daoyou, please spare my life, spare my life, I'm in this state now, Daoyou, please give me a way out!"

The Yuanying was as transparent as nothing, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. Pan Chengfeng pinched the Yuanying's neck with one hand and asked, "Who are you? And who is that woman? If you dare to tell a lie, I will crush you to pieces!" Zhong Tianxu was so scared that he could only answer honestly, "I am the elder of the Zhong family, and that woman is the head of the Zhong family, Li Qianer." Pan Chengfeng was even more puzzled and asked, "Since you are all high-ranking members of the Zhong family, why are you fighting here? Do you want to kill her?" Zhong Tianxu hesitated. No one could speak out about such a family scandal. Seeing that Zhong Tianxu didn't speak, Pan Chengfeng exerted force with his big hand. Zhong Tianxu was shocked and said hurriedly, "We have a personal grudge! Daoist friend, please show mercy!"

Pan Chengfeng returned to the ground and came to Zhong Tianxu's body. He took off the ring from the body, touched the body again, and after confirming that there was nothing else, he cast a fireball on the body. After a series of operations, Zhong Tianxu's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself, "So he is an old hand." Pan Chengfeng walked to Li Qian'er, helped her up, and leaned against the tree. After Pan Chengfeng did all this, he looked at the Yuanying in his hand and said, "Tell me, I am interested in your Zhong family and the other two families. Tell me everything you know, and I will consider whether to let you go after I listen to it."

Zhong Tianxu did not dare to hide anything, and spilled out everything he knew. From the sudden death of the previous head of the family, to the old ancestor pushing Li Qianer to be the clan leader, to the dissatisfaction of the great elder and his repeated provocations to the clan leader, to the matter of his grandson, he talked for half an hour. Seeing that Pan Chengfeng was listening with great interest, Zhong Tianxu continued, "In this way, the great elder and I have forged a great feud with the clan leader, and we have been looking for opportunities to take revenge over the years. A year ago, the great elder got the news from somewhere that the clan leader had a hidden injury. After many attempts, we finally confirmed that the clan leader's injury was real. In the end, she had to admit that it was a hidden injury left by the failure of the impact on the spirit transformation. Afterwards, the clan entered a state of alert. The great elder discussed with me that she should take advantage of her illness to kill him, but there are two people around the clan leader whom she trusts, especially the fifth elder. He practices the same technique as the clan leader, and he is more than two hundred years old. For the sake of the technique, he also... He has always maintained his virginity, and his fire-related skills are extremely powerful. The two of us thought we were no match for him. So this time, while the fifth and sixth elders were out on business, I secretly contacted the other two families and asked them to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Who knew that those two losers, even when they joined forces, were no match for the injured clan leader, and they even paid a large sum of crystal beads as compensation. In the evening, I discussed with the first elder that we couldn’t let this opportunity go, so I sneaked out and planned to contact the Bai and Han families again, hoping to persuade them to make a comeback. Unexpectedly, I met a man in black in the forest. I was afraid that my whereabouts would be exposed, so I planned to kill him to silence him. During the fight, I found that the other party was actually the head of the family, and she looked seriously injured. I thought this was the best opportunity to kill her, so I chased her all the way here, but I didn’t expect to fall into the hands of fellow Taoist in the end.”

Pan Chengfeng was still digesting the news when a weak voice suddenly came from his side: "It was really planned by you and the Great Elder! You and I have a personal grudge, so you could have come here openly. By doing this, have you ever thought that it will put the entire family into an irretrievable situation?" Zhong Tianxu said painfully: "It's all your fault! That incident has haunted the Great Elder and me for so many years? Not only has our cultivation not improved, but it has also shown a downward trend! If we don't kill you, we will stop at the Nascent Soul stage in this life!" Li Qian'er sneered: "You will suffer for your own actions. If it weren't for your poor teaching and your support for them, would they dare to commit such a heinous crime in the clan? How many beasts are there in this world who rape and kill their own sisters? ! Not only did you two not teach them to repent, but you also helped them escape. Are there any elders like you in the world? The youngest of those eighteen girls was fifteen years old, and the oldest was only 26 years old. They were all your juniors!!!"

Zhong Tianxu was speechless. Seeing that the two of them were actually chatting, Pan Chengfeng coughed and said, "Sister, please take a rest first. I have something to ask him." Li Qian'er saw that Pan Chengfeng was holding Zhong Tianxu's Nascent Soul in one hand and Zhong Tianxu's storage ring in the other, and thought to herself, "He is only at the third level of Qi training. How did he control Zhong Tianxu? Could it be that some powerful man is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?" After hearing what Pan Chengfeng said, Li Qian'er nodded, took out a pill, swallowed it, and began to meditate to heal her wounds.

Pan Chengfeng shook the Nascent Soul in his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about the Zhong family. Let's talk about the Bai and Han families. What's the situation of those two families now?" Zhong Tianxu said, "I only know some superficial things about those two families. I don't know too much. But a while ago, one of Bai Cheng's sons seemed to have died outside. Until now, even the body has not been found, only a few pieces of clothes and hair. Bai Cheng is looking for the murderer like crazy. This old man and the elder also took advantage of this incident and said that it might be done by the Zhong family. This led to this alliance."

Pan Chengfeng's eyes twitched, and he cursed inwardly: "How can this be related to me?" Seeing Pan Chengfeng's expression, Zhong Tianxu asked in confusion: "Daoyou is practicing the Bai family's martial arts, did you kill Bai Cheng's son?" Pan Chengfeng's heart was full of a million horses galloping: "You can't wash it off even if you jump into the Yellow River!" But he said: "Nonsense! I said that I got this martial arts by accident, and I didn't know it was the Bai family's martial arts!"

Seeing that Zhong Tianxu really didn't know about the two families, Pan Chengfeng didn't plan to continue asking. He looked at his Nascent Soul and was about to crush him. But Li Qian'er opened her eyes and said, "Daoyou, please let him go." Zhong Tianxu saw Pan Chengfeng's expression and knew that he was going to die. He didn't expect Li Qian'er to plead for him. Zhong Tianxu suddenly felt mixed emotions and said toughly, "Kill me if you want to. Li Qian'er, you don't need to pretend to be kind! I'll still be a good man in my next life!"

Pan Chengfeng also looked at Li Qianer with some surprise. He could hardly take his eyes off her. My goodness, her beauty is simply off the charts! No wonder Zhong Tianxu, who has been practicing for so many years, couldn't help but want to possess her! She is indeed a beauty on earth~ This face, this skin, this breast shape, this thin waist, are simply life-threatening. Li Qianer saw Pan Chengfeng staring at her like this, and she was slightly angry in her heart. She frowned and said, "What are you looking at, Daoist friend? What's wrong with me?"

After hearing Li Qian'er's question, Pan Chengfeng came to his senses and hurriedly said, "No, no, are you really going to let him go?" Li Qian'er said, "His Nascent Soul has been injured by you so badly that he must find a physical body as soon as possible. After that, he will need at least fifty years of hard training to restore his current level of cultivation." Zhong Tianxu was still stubborn: "Li Qian'er, don't worry about it. I would rather die than accept your kindness!" Li Qian'er sneered, "Do you think I'm doing this for you? I'm doing this for the entire family! How much time and resources does it take for the family to train a Nascent Soul again? If they just waste their resources internally, the Bai and Han families will be the happiest. I've spent so much effort to get the Zhong family to where it is today. I hope you can understand in the future that the interests of the family are above everything else! Without the protection of the family, you and I are nothing!"

Li Qianer threw a jade pendant to Zhong Tianxu and said, "Take this jade pendant to find Qing'er, she will help you find a suitable body." Zhong Tianxu took the jade pendant, looked at Li Qianer, and then looked at Pan Chengfeng who was holding him. Pan Chengfeng let go of his hand with some embarrassment. Zhong Tianxu flew into the air with the jade pendant, turned around and bowed to Li Qianer, saying, "Take care, Patriarch." Li Qianer added, "Third Elder, you'd better not let the First Elder see you like this." Zhong Tianxu bowed and nodded, saying, "Thank you for the reminder, Patriarch."

Seeing Zhong Tianxu flying away, Pan Chengfeng turned around and said, "Master Li has a good plan. In this way, the Great Elder will lose a helper and Master Li will gain a helper. The Great Elder will not be a problem in the future." Li Qian'er did not deny it and nodded, "To be honest with you, I had to do this for the survival of our family. I haven't asked for your name yet." Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "I don't deserve the name. I'm just a casual cultivator. You can just call me Erniu." Li Qian'er was stunned and said, "How can there be such a name? If you don't want to say it, forget it!" Pan Chengfeng was not embarrassed. He picked up Zhong Tianxu's storage ring and couldn't wait to check it out.

Pan Chengfeng stood up in an instant as his mental force extended into the ring. He said in ecstasy, "Thank you, family elder. This ring is at least 100 cubic meters. Now it has enough space for everything! There are also several thousand low-grade crystal beads and 100 medium-grade crystal beads!" After taking a rough look, Pan Chengfeng's hands and feet were shaking with excitement. Seeing Pan Chengfeng's look, Li Qian'er was a little surprised and asked, "Daoyou, what's wrong?" Pan Chengfeng quickly adjusted his mentality and said, "It's okay, I just sat for too long, so I got up and moved around." Li Qian'er thought to herself, "I don't believe you!" But she still said, "Daoyou, I haven't thanked you for saving me this time. Now I'm unable to move and can't perform the ceremony. Please don't mind." Pan Chengfeng waved his hand indifferently and smiled, "No need to be polite. Being chivalrous and righteous has always been my style." Li Qian'er almost couldn't help rolling her eyes and thought to herself, "This person behaves strangely and refuses to reveal his real name. Could he really be some old monster?" Then she said, "This is not a place to stay for a long time. Could you trouble Daoyou to take me away from here first?"
