The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 290 Two sects join forces

Outside Fuguang Town, Lian Hongtao left Wanbao Pavilion with a gloomy face. The accompanying elders saw that the master's face was not right, and asked hurriedly: "Master, what's wrong? What did that kid say to you?" Lian Hongtao said in a low voice: "The Zhong family also wants to compete for the control of the Great Zhou!" The elder was shocked, and then laughed: "The Zhong family only has two spirit transformation cultivators, and they are just promoted to the spirit transformation. They are not qualified at all. Why is the master so worried?" Lian Hongtao turned around and said angrily: "What do you know! The Zhong family has the Yu Lei Sect behind it!"

The elder said uncertainly, "Is that boy really the first disciple of the Thunder Sect?" Lian Hongtao nodded and said, "I thought our Qingxu Sect would make it, but who would have thought that the Zhong family would show up halfway!" The elder pondered for a while and said, "In fact, the sect master doesn't have to worry too much. The Zhong family doesn't have the strength to compete. Even if they have the Thunder Sect behind them, the Thunder Sect will not interfere in these matters. Even if that boy is really the first disciple, at most it will be him, and no one from the Thunder Sect will come to help."

Lian Hongtao thought about it but was still worried and said, "His strength is terrifying. When facing him, our sect will feel very dangerous." The elder laughed and said, "Sect Master is too cautious. No matter how powerful he is, can he be a match for a Void Refining cultivator? By then, as long as we defeat him and don't hurt his life, the Yu Lei Sect won't say anything." Lian Hongtao and the elder were about to take off when two figures suddenly appeared in front of them.

Qian Bixing and Mingyu had been waiting for Lian Hongtao outside. When they saw Lian Hongtao coming out and whispering to the elders, they simply showed up and asked, "Sect Master Lian, although our three sects are competitors, we also have a cooperative relationship. I would like to ask you, why did the disciple of the Yu Lei Sect come to you?" Mingyu said calmly, "Yes, Sect Master Lian, I am also very curious, why did the disciple of the Yu Lei Sect come to you alone?"

Lian Hongtao looked around and said in a voice transmission: "You two, things have changed. Please send a message to your sect master. Our sect has something to discuss with them." Mingyu replied: "In that case, let's meet in my Ziwei Sect. What do you think?" Qian Bixing said: "I will send a message to the sect master right away. You two go ahead."

Ziwei Sect is one of the most powerful forces in the Great Zhou. For thousands of years, the land of the Great Zhou has been under the control of Qianyuan Sect. Over the past thousands of years, it has been well managed, at least there have been no large-scale battles between cultivators. All the immortal sects in the Great Zhou practiced and developed their sects in a proper manner. It was for this reason that when the ancestor of the Qianyuan Sect was rumored to have a short life span, everyone was able to hold back and did not do anything radical. One of them was of course afraid that the ancestor of the Qianyuan Sect would counterattack before his death, and the other naturally had no deep hatred with the Qianyuan Sect.

In the main hall of Ziwei Sect, Ming Xue sat in the position of Sect Master. She was wearing a white dress, her eyes were sparkling, and her face could not be seen clearly because of the veil. However, her figure made Lian Hongtao's old face a little hot. It is said that no one has ever seen Ming Xue's true appearance, or those who have seen it have died. Ming Xue noticed Lian Hongtao's abnormality and smiled slightly, saying, "Sect Master Lian, what's wrong? Is there a problem with your practice? Do you need me to help you?" Lian Hongtao waved his hand and said, "No, no."

Mingxue also continued to tease Lian Hongtao and asked, "When did the Zhong family have the background of the Yu Lei Sect? It's really unexpected~" Lian Hongtao said, "Our sect is in Fancheng, and we know something about the Zhong family." Mingxue said, "Then please tell us in detail, Sect Master Lian." Lian Hongtao said, "When Sect Master Leng of the Wuqing Sect comes, I will tell you in detail." Mingxue smiled and said, "Here he comes, Sect Master Lian and I will go to greet him together."

As soon as the two stood up, the Wuqing Sect's Leng Sect Master appeared in the hall and said coldly, "No need, I came in myself." Ming Xue smiled and said, "It seems that the Wuqing Jue of Leng Sect has improved again. I really admire him." The Wuqing Sect Master was cold and stern, with the cultivation level of the initial stage of Lianxu. His face was cold and his eyes showed no emotion at all. After Leng Jun entered the hall, he found a seat and sat down without anyone greeting him. He said coldly, "What's the matter? Why do I have to make a trip?"

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Lian Hongtao said, "Of course it's a big deal. Something unexpected happened when our three sects were fighting for control of the Great Zhou." Ming Xue continued, "It seems that a small family wants to get involved." Leng Jun said expressionlessly, "Our three sects have reached an agreement long ago. Except for our three sects, whoever comes will be destroyed. It's just a small family, so we will just destroy it directly." Ming Xue smiled and said, "If it's an ordinary small family, there's no need to alarm us. I heard that this family has the shadow of the Yu Lei Sect behind it!"

Leng Jun stood up and said in a cold voice: "Impossible, the Thunder Control Sect will not get involved in these things. Where did you get the news?" Even Leng Jun, who practiced the Merciless Art, was a little uneasy when he heard the name of the Thunder Control Sect. Lian Hongtao sighed and said: "It's not from anywhere, I heard it with my own ears." Leng Jun sat down again and bowed, saying: "Please tell me in detail, Master Lian." Master Lian told him about the auction in Fuguang Town, and finally said: "I can't see the strength of Pan Chengfeng, but I believe that I am definitely not his opponent."

Mingyu's beautiful eyes flickered, and she smiled, "I also know this Pan Chengfeng. He is the new disciple of the Thunder Sect's Great Elder Qiu Xiaotian. I heard he is very handsome." Lian Hongtao smiled bitterly, "Sect Master Mingxue, please stop teasing. This person is really not simple. He defeated Yun Feiyang, the former number one disciple, at the foundation building level. Today, a few years later, he has been promoted to the Golden Core. I really don't know how to describe his strength. The Thunder Sect is worthy of being the number one sect in Dongzhou. They can cultivate such a monster."

Leng Jun said coldly: "It's not surprising. The Ten Thousand Beasts Body of the Beast Control Sect can also defeat the Divine Transformation cultivator, right? And the Xuanyin Body of the Ghost Control Sect, the opponent was swallowed by the ghost before he could see what it was." Lian Hongtao sighed and said: "These genius monsters cultivated by these big sects, how can we small sects afford to offend them?" Ming Xue said: "Our three sects have waited for thousands of years until the life of the ancestor of the Qianyuan Sect has run out. This is our chance. If we miss it, are you willing?"

Leng Jun said expressionlessly, "The three major sects in Dongzhou all have their own bottom line. As long as it is not touched, they will not care about the interests of the smaller sects below. Pan Chengfeng wants to control the Great Zhou, it should be his own idea, the Yu Lei Sect will not interfere." Lian Hongtao said, "Pan Chengfeng's own strength should not be underestimated. In addition, he is a direct disciple of the Yu Lei Sect. If they really fight, we will inevitably be restrained."

Leng Jun sneered and said, "So what? I really want to see his strength. Is it true that he can fight across three realms as rumored? I want to see how he can resist the pressure of Lianxu! Mingxue smiled and said, "Well, then I will watch Master Leng show his power~" Leng Jun turned his head and stared at Mingxue and said, "Master Ming, others may not know your strength, but I know it very well. Don't think of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. And Master Lian, it's almost time for you to go into seclusion and give your position to your disciples. Don't keep occupying the position of master. Your two disciples have higher cultivation than you. Aren't you ashamed?"

Lian Hongtao was not angry either, he smiled and said: "Thank you for the reminder, Sect Master Leng. After this matter is resolved, our sect will go into seclusion to break through. Now let's get back to the topic just now, how should we deal with it?" Ming Xue looked at Leng Jun, smiled charmingly, and said: "Since Sect Master Leng wants to learn the methods of the Yu Lei Sect, then I can't help you, don't you think, Sect Master Leng?" After saying that, she blinked. Leng Jun sneered: "Only one person from our sect will contribute? Everyone will benefit? Sect Master Ming, do you think your charm skills are useful to our sect? Don't flirt in front of our sect, our sect won't fall for it!"

Mingxue was not angry either, she said with resentment: "It was Sect Master Leng who wanted to learn the strength of the direct disciple of the Yu Lei Sect. How come it is my fault now?" Lian Hongtao hurriedly used his magic power to resist, begging for mercy: "Sect Master Ming, please put away your magical power. Sect Master Leng practices the Merciless Art, your charm is ineffective on him, but it has caused trouble for our sect." Mingxue smiled slightly, put away her charm and said: "Okay, let's talk about the distribution issue~"

Leng Jun said coldly: "It's very simple. Since the three sects are united against the outside world, it depends on who contributes more and who gets more." Lian Hongtao nodded and said, "No problem, what do you think, Sect Master Mingxue?" Mingxue looked at her slender five fingers and said, "I have no objection, but how should this fight be arranged so that it will be beneficial to us?" Lian Hongtao touched his chin and said, "Pan Chengfeng is just one person. No matter how powerful he is, he can't win all the arenas by himself. Originally, our three sects only needed to set up one arena, and whoever won would be the controller of the Great Zhou. Now we have to set up three arenas! Yuanying, Huashen, Lianxu, our three sects only need to win two arenas, which is equivalent to taking control of the Great Zhou!"

Ming Xue smiled and said, "Master Lian has a good plan. At least, Master Lian is planning to take the God Transformation Arena by himself?" Lian Hongtao smiled and said, "Among the three sects, our sect should be the strongest, right?" Leng Jun said, "There is a Nascent Soul cultivator in our sect who is quite powerful." Ming Xue smiled and said, "If I can't take the Void Refining Arena, how much of the profit can I get from our sect?" Lian Hongtao and Leng Jun looked at each other and said, "Twenty percent." Ming Xue sneered, obviously dissatisfied. Lian Hongtao advised, "Master Ming, think about it. The Ziwei Sect doesn't have many people. It's not like the Wuqing Sect and the Qingxu Sect, which have hundreds of thousands of disciples to support. Twenty percent of the profit is also several hundred million high-quality crystal beads every year. If you spread it out, the Ziwei Sect still gets the advantage~"

Ming Xue sneered, "According to Sect Master Lian's calculations, I only need to keep a few disciples by my side and dismiss the rest. Wouldn't I get more?" Lian Hongtao was speechless. Ming Xue stood up and said, "In terms of strength, although our sect has fewer disciples, it is not inferior to your two sects. If we really fight, we will all suffer losses! Don't think that we women are easy to bully. I'm saying this clearly. As long as we seize control of the Great Zhou, Ziwei Sect will suffer a little. We only want 30%, and the remaining 70%, you can divide it however you like!"

The fight hasn't even started yet, but they've already started arguing. This alliance is really casual, not much better than the United Nations. Leng Jun said coldly: "We've already said that whichever sect contributes more will get more. If your Ziwei Sect can't even take down a single arena, 20% is already a lot." Ming Xue was furious, and her aura burst out. Leng Jun didn't give in, and his aura burst out at the same time. The two of them were fighting head-on. Lian Hongtao was forced to retreat more than ten meters by the aura of both sides, and shouted: "You two, you two, aren't you still discussing? Don't be anxious, listen to what Lian has to say."

The two snorted coldly at the same time, retracted their momentum, and sat down again. Mingxue glanced at a corner of the hall, then retracted her eyes, thinking: "I am too suspicious?" Seeing that the two had stopped, Lian Hongtao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You two, as long as our three sects are united, the Zhong family will not be able to succeed. Now it's just a matter of distribution, why bother with a big fight?" He said coldly: "Why? Sect Master Lian has a solution?" Lian Hongtao glanced at Mingxue who was still angry and said: "It's not a difficult thing, just divide it into three parts, three three four. The sect that wins more will get 40%. The other two sects will each get 30%. Sect Master Mingxue has no objection to this, right? What do you think, Sect Master Leng?"

Leng Jun said calmly, "Our sect has no problem. Wuqing Sect will definitely take 40%!" Ming Xue put on a smile again and said, "If that's the case, I naturally have no objection. But what should we do if each of us occupies one arena?" Lian Hongtao smiled and said, "If this happens, it means that the Zhong family is out. The three sects can discuss it slowly at that time. There's no need to hurt the harmony."
