The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 377 The Nian Family Is Not Honest

Yu Sheren's cave in the Yu Lei Sect. Ever since he heard the news that Pan Chengfeng became Feng Tiesheng's apprentice, Yu Sheren has been unable to concentrate on his training for the past few months. Today, he finally entered a state of meditation, and heard Yu Shuren's shouting from outside the cave: "Cousin, that little beast has left the sect again, do you want to..." "What a hasty thing!" Yu Sheren frowned and interrupted Yu Shuren's words, "If he leaves the sect, he will leave the sect. Why are you making such a fuss!"

Yu Shuren explained, "No, this time the guy brought his maid with him, and it seems that he is going back to his hometown in the Great Zhou Kingdom." Yu Sheren muttered, "Why is he going back at this critical moment? The secret realm is about to open, instead of making proper preparations, he runs back to find his mistress?" Yu Shuren also said in surprise, "Yeah, I can't figure out why he is going back at this critical moment. Did he find out that we had arranged an assassination? Should we arrange people halfway? Hmm!~" Yu Shuren pointed at his neck, and his meaning was very clear.

Yu Sheren shook his head and said, "No, that guy is too powerful to be dealt with by one or two assassins. We need to send at least a team of assassins from the Dark Department and ambush him on the road in advance to be sure of killing him!" Yu Sheren thought for a while and said, "Well, you can send a team of assassins from the Dark Department to ambush him on his way back!" Yu Shuren was surprised and said, "A team? That's ten assassins above the late stage of the Void Refining Realm. The movement is too big, and I'm afraid Shangguan Yun and the others will find out."

Yu Sheren whispered, "No, Shangguan Yun is now focusing on the secret realm. As long as you act carefully, you have a great chance! Remember, don't send a message, and don't go out by yourself. Find a stranger to go to our contact point outside the sect and pass the order back." Yu Shuren nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry, cousin."

Yu Sheren continued, "Have you made arrangements for Yancheng as well? Don't let anything go wrong." Yu Shuren hurriedly said, "Nian Changxing of the Yancheng Nian family is a smart man, there won't be any problems. Besides, we have four assassins arranged by us, so it's absolutely foolproof!"

At the gate of the Yulei Sect, Pan Chengfeng brought Shuang'er out. Just as he was about to take off, Shuang'er grabbed him and said coquettishly, "Master, my flying speed is not as fast as yours, and I can't use lightning escape..." Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll use my magic power..." Before Pan Chengfeng finished speaking, Shuang'er hugged Pan Chengfeng's waist and said, "Don't be like that, Master, don't you want to hold me?" Pan Chengfeng's mouth twitched and said, "Shuang'er, our trip will take at least six or seven days, and we are outside. If you hold me all the time, others will think you are a flower thief~"

Shuang'er said willfully: "I don't care. If you don't hug me now, don't even think about hugging me in the future!" Okay, just hug me. Fortunately, I am a cultivator, so I won't sweat without fighting. Otherwise, I would stink after so many days. Pan Chengfeng grabbed Shuang'er's legs and said proudly: "Hold tight, the master is about to take off!" Shuang'er hugged Pan Chengfeng's neck tightly, with her little head on Pan Chengfeng's chest, as if she had returned to the time when she was a little beggar, with a sweet face.

As soon as the two of them left the mountain gate, several disciples guarding the mountain started to talk about it. Disciple A enviously said, "If I had a Taoist partner like this, my life would not be in vain~" Disciple B sneered, "How dare you compete with this gentleman? Do you know who he is?" Disciple A said, "I know, he is a direct disciple, it's not like I haven't seen him~" Before Disciple B could speak, Disciple C chuckled and said, "You have only been here for the past two years, it's not surprising that you don't know him. Did you see the token on his waist?"

A few people were discussing when suddenly a voice shouted, "What are you guys doing! Do you think you can talk about our great-grandmaster? Do you want to be whipped?!" They fell silent immediately, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. Disciple C was familiar with the newcomer, and said with a smile, "Captain, we didn't say anything. You mustn't tell Manager Liu, otherwise we will have to stay in bed for at least a year!" The captain snorted coldly, then whispered, "Sir, please don't talk casually. Aren't there a few people in the sect who have been taught a lesson by him?" Disciple A hurriedly said, "Captain, we can't enter the inner gate. Do you have any news? Share it with us brothers~" Then, including the captain, seven or eight people started talking about Pan Chengfeng's gossip.

Great Zhou Kingdom, Yancheng. In Zhongjialou, Qian'er hummed a little tune and sorted out the documents on the table. Qing'er sneaked in quietly, but how could she hide it from Qian'er with her cultivation? Qian'er had already discovered it, and just when Qing'er wanted to scare Qian'er, Qian'er suddenly turned around and said, "Little girl, what do you want to do!" She wanted to scare people, but she was scared. Qing'er pouted and said, "Sister, can't you pretend that you don't know? You scared me to death."

Qian'er was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, next time I will pretend not to know and let you scare me." Then she hummed a little song again. Qing'er smiled and said: "Sister is in such a good mood, have all those troubles been solved?" After Qian'er tidied the table, she sat in the boss chair and said sweetly: "He is coming back, no problem is a problem." Qing'er was surprised and said: "Brother-in-law is coming back? Isn't it not long since he returned to the sect?" Qian'er said: "I don't know, he said he had something to do and needed to come back." Qing'er said happily: "Brother-in-law will definitely be very happy if he sees me promoted~" Qing'er also broke through to the God Transformation Realm last year, but after Qian'er took the Little Spirit Source Pill, her realm has reached the perfection of the initial stage of the God Transformation Realm, and it seems that she can break through at any time. It's just that Yancheng has been a little unstable recently, and she has to deal with many things personally, so she has not had the opportunity to retreat.

Logically speaking, with Qian'er's means, it would be no problem to subdue those families, but accidents always happen. The ancestor of the Nian family, Nian Changxing, actually made a miraculous breakthrough and became one of the most powerful cultivators in the Great Zhou Immortal Cultivation World! This was really unexpected. It was said that the old man was dying, and even Mou Xuyou said that the ancestor of the Nian family was entangled with death and would not live for a few years. Now, not only has the injury healed, but he has also made a breakthrough.

The Nian family, which was originally honest, became arrogant after the ancestor's breakthrough. Although they did not dare to openly oppose the Zhong family, they just dealt with the Zhong family's orders. Qian'er was worried about the Nian family recently. Now that Pan Chengfeng was coming back, Qian'er breathed a sigh of relief. She believed that as long as Pan Chengfeng came back, all problems would be solved.

The two sisters were in a good mood. After chatting for a while, Qing'er remembered that she came to see her sister for something, so she said, "Oh, I almost forgot about the main thing. The people from the Nian family came and said they wanted to take this year's dividend. But there is still a month before this year's dividend." Qian'er asked, "How many crystal beads will the Nian family distribute as dividends this year?" Qing'er was already familiar with these things, and said, "This year's business is much better than last year. The Nian family can get 50 million high-quality crystal beads."

Qian'er sneered, "They are so anxious to get the crystal beads, it seems that the Nian family wants to 'fall out' with us." Qing'er was surprised and said, "The Nian family wants to fall out with us now? Aren't they afraid of being suppressed by the three of us?" Qian'er said, "Over the years, the Nian family has made some preparations. They have been contacting the Ximen family, but the Ximen family has an uncertain attitude and has not responded to them directly. Now it seems that the Ximen family has other ideas."

Qing'er said anxiously, "What should we do? Business is so good now. If there is a quarrel, it will be a loss for everyone. Don't those two families know that?" The four major families in Yancheng are the Zhong family, the Nian family, the Ximen family and the Zheng family. The Zheng family firmly supports the Zhong family. After all, they have been suppressed by the previous three families for so long. If it weren't for the Zhong family, they would have been driven out of Yancheng long ago. The Nian family and the Ximen family can be said to be forced to cooperate with the Zhong family. Before, due to their strength and fear of the background of the Zhong family's Yu Lei Sect, they could only swallow their anger. Now the situation is different.

Qian'er explained, "In the past few years, the Nian family has been in contact with a mysterious person. I think it is very likely that he is Chengfeng's mortal enemy, a member of the Yu family. An Yi followed him twice but was thrown off. The person who came is at least at the Refining Void level, and he is not an ordinary Refining Void cultivator. Otherwise, I can't imagine how Nian Changxing broke through. Only a big family like the Yu family can afford the Soul-Replenishing Pill!"

Qing'er worriedly said, "Brother-in-law and the Yu family are already at loggerheads. Wouldn't it be dangerous for brother-in-law to leave the sect?" Qian'er smiled and said, "You can think of it, but Chengfeng can't? Don't worry, it's okay. If the Yu family dares to move, Chengfeng will definitely teach them an unforgettable lesson!"
