The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 298 Breaking in

New Kingdom, New Capital, Guo Mansion. Pan Chengfeng walked past the door as if nothing had happened, thinking to himself, "This is it. An Yi said it's the largest house, Guo Mansion. The Guo family is a cousin of the Yu family. This mansion belongs to a mortal in the Guo family. This person is a first-rank official in the New Kingdom. According to An Yi, there is a rockery in the backyard of Guo Mansion. The rockery is just an illusion created by the formation. In fact, it is the entrance to the secret base."

Pan Chengfeng and An Yi discussed for a while, and finally decided to take the risk. Pan Chengfeng looked at the map of the Guo family's underground assassin organization in his hand, touched his chin, and said to himself: "The place is really big. Fortunately, I have the map given by An Yi, otherwise I would be blind if I really went in." Pan Chengfeng wandered around the Guo family stealthily. He wanted to find a place to hide and wait for An Yi's action signal. This action, not only Pan Chengfeng had to take a huge risk, An Yi was also risking his life.

According to An Yi, the assassin organization has an action roster that records who goes where to perform what mission. The roster is placed in the room of the combined monk, and Pan Chengfeng's goal of this infiltration is that roster.

After Pan Chengfeng hid himself, he immediately changed into night clothes and hid behind the wall of a family's courtyard. He wrapped his spiritual consciousness in layers and waited for the night to fall. As soon as it was dark, Pan Chengfeng's spiritual consciousness sensed that two assassins in the early stage of transformation appeared in front of the rockery in the backyard. Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "As long as An Yiyi takes action, that guy will probably chase him out, and I will take the opportunity to go in and find the roster."

After waiting for three or four hours, Pan Chengfeng was just muttering why there was no movement. Suddenly, a sense of anger came over him. Pan Chengfeng was so scared that he quickly held his breath and lay motionless on the wall. Half a breath later, a figure flashed past Pan Chengfeng. Pan Chengfeng wiped the cold sweat and said, "It really is a combined cultivator. An Yi has already started. I have to hurry up here."

Pan Chengfeng sneaked to the rockery in the backyard and opened the formation according to the method An Yi told him. As the formation was opened, the rockery slowly disappeared, revealing its original appearance, which was a staircase leading downwards. Pan Chengfeng did not dare to hesitate and jumped in.

After walking four or five hundred meters along the stairs, he finally saw a corridor several meters wide. Pan Chengfeng took out the map and looked at the passage behind him, thinking to himself, "If this is blocked, it will be over." There is only this entrance and exit on the map. If it is blocked, he is no match for so many assassins, not to mention that the combined monk may come back at any time.

Pan Chengfeng walked cautiously along the corridor, and after walking a few hundred meters, he finally heard voices. Pan Chengfeng was startled, and quickly jumped up and hid on the rock wall. Two assassins in black walked side by side. Their voices were getting closer and closer: "We are going to Licheng this time, and the journey is not short. There is still a month before the auction there begins. We should leave as soon as possible." Another voice said: "Kill 31, we have completed so many missions, when will it be our turn to get the Shattering Void Pill?" Kill 31 said: "Soon, we have completed more than a hundred missions, except for Kill Seven and Kill Nine, it will be our turn next."

When Pan Chengfeng heard the two men talking about killing Seven and Nine, he almost went down to interrogate them. Seeing the two men walking further and further away, Pan Chengfeng slowly landed on the ground and thought to himself, "It seems that the Yu family is going to take action on those elixirs. Should I remind Uncle Yun?" After muttering a few words, Pan Chengfeng continued to explore deeper.

After walking for a long time in the dark, they finally saw the light. Pan Chengfeng picked up the map and thought to himself, "This is the center of the assassin's base. There are more than a dozen entrances, each leading to a different place. The person's office is from Entrance No. 1." Pan Chengfeng poked his head out and found that there were four guards here, all of them were Yuanying cultivators. And the four people were standing in four corners. If he wanted to deal with them together without being discovered, Pan Chengfeng couldn't do it yet.

Pan Chengfeng thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and walked out swaggeringly. When he reached the center of the hall, Pan Chengfeng walked straight to Gate No. 1 without hesitation. The four guards took a look and didn't ask any more questions. Pan Chengfeng just walked in swaggeringly. After leaving the four people's sight, Pan Chengfeng's heart was pounding, and he thought to himself: "It's really exciting! The four idiots outside really don't dare to ask more questions."

Not long after Pan Chengfeng left, the four of them began to discuss quietly: "Do you know who that person is? Why did he go directly to the adults' study?" Another person replied: "I don't know. Judging from his clothes, he is a killer from the Dark Department. The Dark Department are all Nascent Soul cultivators. Let's not ask too many questions, otherwise we won't know how we died." Another person muttered: "Why can't I sense his presence?" The fourth person sneered: "Is he new here? The Dark Department's concealment skills are very advanced. We are only at the Nascent Soul stage, so it's normal that we can't sense it." The few people chatted for a few sentences and then fell silent. If the person in charge found them chatting, they would be punished and the Nascent Soul cultivators would have to lose a layer of skin.

Pan Chengfeng walked along the way with a swagger. There was nothing but a smooth rock wall here, and there was no place to hide. Pan Chengfeng simply gave up hiding. After many twists and turns, he finally saw the place marked on the map, the office of the fusion monk. However, there were actually two black-clothed assassins of the transformation monk guarding the door. Pan Chengfeng did not hesitate at all and walked over with a swagger.

The two guarding the gate saw someone coming and shouted, "Who is coming?!" Pan Chengfeng approached 50 meters away, stopped and said, "Anbu An Yi, I have an urgent matter to ask you!" The two were shocked and asked, "An Yi? Why are you here? Didn't you disappear with An Er?" Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "Sure enough, the internal report of An Yi and An Er said they were missing, not dead or rebellious." Pan Chengfeng said, "I am here to explain this matter to you, please pass it on."

The two looked at each other, and one of them said, "My lord is not here, come back another day." Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "If I knew he was here, I wouldn't have come!" Pan Chengfeng bowed and was about to leave. The two assassins also let down their guard at this moment. Unexpectedly, they saw a black cat, which had already run to their feet without them knowing when, and meowed cutely. The two of them just sank into silence and knew nothing.

Pan Chengfeng chuckled, walked over and said, "You can deal with these two as you like. Keep watch for me outside. If anyone comes, just deal with them directly. If you can't, notify me immediately." Pan Chengfeng had just wrapped Heiwu with his spiritual consciousness, allowing Heiwu to approach the two gatekeepers without anyone noticing. At that distance, Heiwu was 100% sure that his mental attack would be effective immediately.

Pan Chengfeng was about to push the door open when he found that there was actually another restriction. After looking at it for a while, he said, "This is troublesome. This is a warning restriction! If it is destroyed, that person will know immediately. I don't know how long it will take for him to come back?" Pan Chengfeng hesitated for a while and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm already here. I can't return empty-handed! No matter what, half an hour should be enough. He has been out for two hours, and An Yi is probably in danger. If I move, that person may know that he has fallen into the 'luring tiger away from the mountain' strategy. In this way, An Yi should be able to escape, but I will be in danger."

Pan Chengfeng raised his hand, broke the restriction with one punch, and walked in. There were dozens of bookshelves in the room, filled with books and jade slips. Pan Chengfeng didn't care what the things were, and he put everything that could be put into the storage bracelet. Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly thought: "Is there a secret compartment?" So he scanned it with his spiritual sense, and suddenly he was happy: "Is there really a secret compartment?" He ran to a wall in three or two steps, touched the wall, knocked on it, and then raised his fist and punched it down. With a clang, the room shook a few times. The secret compartment was not broken, but the movement must have attracted the attention of people outside.

Pan Chengfeng hurried out of the room. Heiwu stared at Pan Chengfeng in amazement, thinking, "Are you going in to find something or to smash something?" Pan Chengfeng didn't care about Heiwu's look, and said hurriedly, "It's going to be a fight. Follow me and rush out. If you get caught, you'll be stewed into soup!" Heiwu jumped onto Pan Chengfeng's shoulder and meowed. Pan Chengfeng said, "Okay, I'll run and you'll attack."

Pan Chengfeng's body was covered with red gas. With a whoosh, he left only a shadow behind. He had already run several hundred meters. Several cultivators came towards him, all of them were at the Nascent Soul stage. Before they could get close to Pan Chengfeng, they all collapsed to the ground. The cultivators in the distance were shocked and shouted, "Be careful of that cat, it can attack mentally!" The cultivators who came one after another quickly raised their vigilance. A black-clothed killer at the peak of the Spiritualization stage shouted, "All Nascent Soul cultivators, get out of the way!"

Pan Chengfeng rushed to the entrance of the hall, braked suddenly, looked up, and thought to himself, "Why are there so many people?" Twenty or so Divine Transformation cultivators blocked Pan Chengfeng's way. The leading cultivator asked, "Who are you?" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Do you think I will tell you?" The leading cultivator said angrily, "When we catch you, I guarantee you will tell me everything! Go!"

Pan Chengfeng's eyes changed, and suddenly three monks appeared behind him, holding daggers and stabbing Pan Chengfeng in the back. However, under the influence of the black warrior's mental attack, the movements of several Divine Transformation monks were half a beat slower. Pan Chengfeng easily dodged the backstab, and with a whip kick, he directly kicked the three Divine Transformation monks away. After the three fell to the ground, they vomited blood, and one of them covered his chest and said: "The cat's mental attack is very powerful, and the man's strength is also terrifying!"

The leading Spiritualization cultivator said angrily: "Let's attack together! I don't believe that we can't take him down with so many people!" Pan Chengfeng said angrily: "Heiwu! It's better to break one of his fingers than to hurt ten of them! Focus on the leader!" Heiwu's eyes glowed white, and he screamed. The leading Spiritualization peak cultivator suddenly covered his head with both hands, his eyes turned black. Pan Chengfeng appeared beside him in a flash, pinched his neck with one hand, and with a click, the Spiritualization peak cultivator died. Heiwu opened his mouth and sucked the soul into his mouth. The whole process was smooth. Pan Chengfeng threw the corpse aside and laughed: "Let's see who dares to come and die!"
