The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 228 Traitor

Wanbao Pavilion, Tang Tong was in the guest room, fidgeting, thinking about the beauty's face and back, and finally stood up and slammed the door and went out. In Chu Xuanji's cave, Chu Xuanji, who was sitting cross-legged, couldn't enter meditation for a long time, thinking about what Tang Tong said during the day, and finally decided to ask for clarification, slammed the door, and went out.

Wanbao Pavilion, Aunt Zhong's guest room. Aunt Zhong was also very upset. She didn't know how to deal with Tang Tong's matter. Just when she was upset, there was a knock on the door. Knock, knock, knock: "Fairy Zhong, I have something to say to you in person. Please open the door and see me." Zhong Wuyan's slightly hurried voice came from the room: "Friend Tang, it's late at night and we are alone. It's inconvenient. If you have anything to say, let's talk tomorrow." Tang Tong insisted: "It's just a few words. It won't take up much of Fairy's time." Zhong Wuyan said in embarrassment: "Then Friend Tang, just say it like this. I can hear it clearly."

Tang Tong did not force Zhong Wuyan, and said disappointedly: "Well, I'll say this. In fact, I just want to ask the fairy, after so many years, are you still alone?" Zhong Wuyan did not hide it, and said softly: "My husband passed away many years ago, and I have been a widow all this time." Tang Tong seemed to have heard incredible news, and said excitedly: "Does the fairy's promise to me still count?"

Zhong Wuyan said in embarrassment: "Back then, fellow Daoist refused to leave, and I had something else to do, so it was inconvenient for me to go with you. I had no choice but to do this. It was just to spur fellow Daoist to practice hard. I hope fellow Daoist will not bear a grudge against me."

Tang Tong smiled bitterly and said, "How could I bear a grudge against the fairy? I don't know how to repay the fairy for saving my life. This time, Brother Chengfeng and I are going to deal with the Seven Star Academy together. Although we have made a detailed plan, it is still very dangerous. Today I am here to say goodbye to the fairy. I hope we can meet again in the future." Zhong Wuyan was silent for a long while, and finally said, "Daoyou, be careful." Tang Tong was secretly happy, "She still cares about me!"

Chu Xuanji hid in the corridor and eavesdropped for a long time. It was not until Tang Tong left that Chu Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Tang Tong had already reached the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Chu Xuanji was not at all careless in order to hide from someone of the same level of cultivation. Seeing Tang Tong walking away, Chu Xuanji thought to herself, "What's wrong with me? I actually eavesdropped on other people's conversations. Am I really confused?" Looking at Zhong Wuyan's room, Chu Xuanji gave up the idea of ​​looking for Zhong Wuyan.

The next day, Tang Tong said goodbye to everyone and went back to the Bailu Academy in Licheng. He had to go back to arrange some things first. Pan Chengfeng and Qian'er took Aunt Zhong back to Zhong's Villa. It was not a problem for Chu Xuanji to stay with her all the time. Although Aunt Zhong was reluctant to leave, she was finally moved by Pan Chengfeng's words like "a short separation is better than a new marriage, and distance creates beauty", and followed her home obediently. After everyone left, Chu Xuanji sighed and said, "It's time for me to meet the Grand Master." As a neutral force, Wanbao Pavilion is not convenient to intervene in these grievances in the rivers and lakes, so Chu Xuanji cannot participate in the plan against the Seven Stars Academy this time.

Tang Tong returned to Licheng without stopping and reported to Dean Yang immediately. The two went to Dean Yang's training room for a secret talk and talked for several hours before coming out. In the Dean's Office of Licheng Seven Star Academy, Shen Liang bowed and reported: "Dean, Tang Tong is back." Mu Chenxu said, "Did he go to Qingxu Town?" Shen Liang said, "The dean is very predictable. He went to find Chu Xuanji and the people from the Zhong family in Fancheng. They are also in the Wanbao Pavilion in Qingxu Town. But our spies have no way of finding out what they talked about."

Mu Chenxu sneered, "What can we talk about? It would be a waste of effort to ask Chu Xuanji for help. I don't believe that Chu Xuanji dares to break the rules of Wanbao Pavilion. At most, he can support them with some spiritual tools and elixirs." Shen Liang said, "And my enemy seems to have left Wanbao Pavilion. He should come to Licheng this time." Mu Chenxu smiled and said, "A guy who has just been promoted to the middle stage of the Spiritualization, even if he has a quasi-spiritual treasure, will have no effect on our plan. But is the head of the Zhong family really that strong?"

Shen Liang said: "According to what Mr. Wan said, he used 80% of his strength in that palm strike, and it was absolutely powerful. An ordinary cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritualization Realm would definitely die on the spot! However, the head of the Zhong family was only slightly injured and was able to fight him for a long time until Chu Xuan Ji came to help. His strength is indeed not to be underestimated. What the three vice presidents said before is true~"

Mu Chenxu sat up straight and said, "I thought they were making excuses for not doing their job well, but I didn't expect that a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritualization Stage would have a fighting power comparable to that of a cultivator at the peak of the Spiritualization Stage. His skills must be extraordinary! If possible, try to capture him alive and interrogate him about his skills!" Shen Liang said excitedly, "Dean, I also practice fire-attributed skills. Will I be able to do that then?" Mu Chenxu sneered secretly, "That's a nice thought." But he said, "When the time comes, I will reward you based on your merits. Don't worry." Shen Liang flattered, "The dean is in control. I think White Egret Academy is doomed this time. But no matter how we provoke him recently, that old guy has actually endured it. It's really strange."

Mu Chenxu smiled and said, "It will be soon. Now that Tang Tong is back, I think White Egret Academy will take action. As long as they leave White Egret Academy, I will make sure they never come back." Shen Liang worriedly said, "If they stay in hiding, won't the dean's preparations be in vain?" Mu Chenxu sneered, "If they don't come out, we will lure them out! Go and spread the news now, saying that in ten days, there will be a group of students from Seven Star Academy who need to be picked up, and I will go to pick them up personally!"

Shen Liang's eyes lit up and he said, "The dean is talking about the group of students in Beijing?" Mu Chenxu sneered, "That's right, this group of students was originally recruited by Bailu College, but we intercepted them. According to Yang Hong's temper, he will definitely not be able to hold back. At that time, he will definitely bring enough people to intercept me. This is our chance!"

In the dean's office of Bailu College, an elder said angrily: "Dean Yang! Mu Chenxu is going to pick up the students from Beijing! Those were originally students from our college, but they got snatched away by them. It's so infuriating!" Yang Hong slammed the table, and the table turned into powder. He said angrily: "Mu Chenxu, you are going too far! I will fight you! When?" The elder said: "Ten days later, Mu Chenxu will lead the team directly to Beijing to pick them up." Dean Yang ordered: "Go and call Tang Tong over. This time, I will definitely destroy that hypocrite!"

After a while, Tang Tong arrived. He was also very angry after learning what happened. He said angrily: "Brother, we can't tolerate it anymore. We must not let them receive these students this time. We must stop them halfway!" Tang Tong turned around and asked: "Do you know how many people Mu Chenxu brought with him?" The elder said hurriedly: "In addition to Mu Chenxu, there are two peak-level masters, two vice-presidents in the middle stage of the God Transformation, four Zhang Lai in the early stage of the God Transformation, and the rest are more than 20 Yuanying-level coaches."

Tang Tong narrowed his eyes: "They have invited helpers. Fortunately, I also found two helpers, which can just hold back the two peak spirit masters. Brother Yang can hold Mu Chenxu, and I can deal with the remaining vice president and four elders! After I finish dealing with them, I will go to help the president and kill Mu Chenxu!" Yang Hong slapped his thigh and said, "Okay! That's it! This time I will definitely twist off Mu Chenxu's head!" Tang Tong said: "Next, I will arrange the manpower. Qiu Sheng, you continue to watch the Seven Stars Academy to prevent any changes." Elder Qiu Sheng bowed and said, "Don't worry, the two presidents, I will keep a close eye on the Seven Stars Academy!"

After leaving the dean's office, Qiu Sheng turned left and right, found a hidden corner, took out a communication talisman, held the talisman between his fingers and muttered something, then input his magic power, and the talisman disappeared. Qiu Sheng looked around and found no one, so he left with peace of mind. Not long after Qiu Sheng left, Tang Tong appeared at the place where Qiu Sheng was before, sneering, "Brother Chengfeng is really amazing, he knows there is a traitor in the hospital before anyone comes, and his position is not low. It seems that the first step of the strategy of turning the tables has succeeded."

Tang Tong returned to the dean's office, and the old dean hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Tang Tong said with heartache, "Qiu Sheng has been in the college for quite some time, and I didn't expect that he is actually a traitor!" Yang Hong said angrily, "This traitor, the college didn't treat him unfairly, how dare he do this!" Tang Tong said, "Mu Chenxu must have promised him a condition that he couldn't refuse, but it's unknown whether he can get it alive." Dean Yang also sighed and said, "Should we change our plan?" Tang Tong smiled and said, "No need, this has been expected by us, so let's just play along. They are afraid that we won't come out. Aren't we also afraid that they won't come out? In the end, we still have to compete with hard power!"

Seven Star Academy, the dean's office, Mu Chenxu stretched out his hand and a communication talisman appeared in his hand. With the infusion of magic power, the talisman turned into ashes. A voice came into Mu Chenxu's mind: "Everything is going well. Yang Hong and Tang Tong are already preparing people and will set off soon." Mu Chenxu sneered: "I'm using myself as bait, are you afraid that I can't lure out this old guy?" Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in the room, and a man in black clothes and a hooded head appeared in front of Mu Chenxu.

Mu Chenxu quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "Junior greets Senior Hu." Senior Hu waved his hand and said, "Dean Mu, there is no need to be polite. I came here just to know when this matter can be concluded. There are still things in the sect waiting for me to deal with when I go back."

Mu Chenxu said respectfully, "Don't worry, senior. It won't take too long. Ten days at the fastest and half a month at the slowest will resolve the issue." Senior Hu nodded and said, "I brought four disciples with me this time, which delayed a lot of things in the sect. Forget about my reward, but don't be stingy with the other four." Mu Chenxu said hurriedly, "Senior, you are right. We will not treat you and the four fellow Taoists unfairly."

Senior Hu shook his head and said, "I don't need it. Just give me the skills of the Zhong family's patriarch." Mu Chenxu's eyes flashed coldly, but he said respectfully, "I will try my best to capture the patriarch alive and hand her over to you." Senior Hu nodded and disappeared on the spot. Mu Chenxu looked at the disappearing Senior Hu and said in a low voice, "Greedy old man, it turns out that you want the most valuable thing!"
