The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 292 Confirmation of Speculations

In the Jingxin Valley of the Yulei Sect, Pan Chengfeng had been gone for half a year. Shuang'er had been practicing in the cave, and when she was bored, she would go to the medicinal field to tend to the flowers and plants. Although her younger brother often came to see her, she always sent him away. After the last lesson, Shuang'er now dared not leave the Yulei Sect. After Xiujin Xiuhua left, Shuang'er now had no one to talk to, and she truly experienced the boredom of practicing.

Today Shuang'er had just finished her homework and was going to plant some spiritual flowers and herbs in the medicinal field. Suddenly, her face lit up, she stretched out her hand to catch a communication talisman, injected her magic power, and a voice appeared in her mind: "Shuang'er, quickly go find the sect master and check who is replacing a cultivator named Luo Xiang who is in the early stage of refining emptiness." The communication talisman was just like that, and could not say more than two sentences. Shuang'er lowered her head in disappointment, but still packed up and prepared to find the sect master. As soon as she left the cave, her face lit up again, she stretched out her hand to grab another communication talisman, injected her magic power, and Pan Chengfeng's voice sounded again: "Shuang'er, the young master will be back soon, you should practice obediently at home, and the young master will bring you a gift when he returns."

It's only because Pan Chengfeng is rich now, otherwise how could such a long-distance communication talisman be wasted like this? Shuang'er was overjoyed, the young master had not forgotten her. When Shuang'er came to the mountainside, she was stopped. Further up was the cave of the sect's high-level leaders. Shuang'er was not a direct disciple, so she was not qualified to go up, but she had Pan Chengfeng's ID card. Shuang'er took out the ID card and said, "I have important matters to see the sect master. Please pass on the message, brothers." The gatekeepers here are all inner disciples with the cultivation level of the Divine Transformation. When they saw the token of the direct disciple, they sneered, "Do you think it is the token of the elder? Get out of here!"

Shuang'er's pretty face was filled with anger, and she shouted, "This is the token of Pan Chengfeng, the first disciple! If you have the guts, leave your name, and wait for him to come back and see how he will deal with you!" The gatekeeper disciples shuddered. This was the ruthless man who kicked Yu Qian's balls. Who would dare to offend him? The gatekeeper brother hurriedly said, "It turned out to be the token of Senior Brother Pan. I didn't notice it for a moment. Please wait for a moment, Junior Sister, I will pass it on."

Shangguan Yun was meditating on the top of Purple Thunder Mountain. Suddenly, he frowned and sighed, "What's the matter?" The disciple reported, "There is a female disciple outside the gate, holding the identity card of the direct disciple Pan Chengfeng, saying that she has something important to see the sect master." Shangguan Yun scanned with his spiritual sense and said, "Let her in." The gatekeeper bowed and accepted the order, thinking to himself, "The sect master really saw it. When did the identity card of the direct disciple become so useful?"

A quarter of an hour later, Shuang'er arrived in front of Shangguan Yun's cave and bowed, saying, "Disciple Gu Ningshuang wants to see the sect master." Shangguan Yun smiled and said, "Come in." Shuang'er walked into the cave and saw a handsome man sitting cross-legged in the cave, looking at her with a smile. She quickly knelt down and said, "Grand Elder, I am your registered disciple Gu Ningshuang. I have something to report to the sect master." Shuang'er thought to herself, "The sect master is so young and so handsome? He is no worse than the young master~ No, he is even more handsome than the young master!"

Shangguan Yun smiled and said, "You are Shuang'er that Chengfeng talks about all the time, right? Are you his Taoist partner?" Shuang'er said nervously, "Shuang'er is just the young master's maid. The young master saved my life, and Shuang'er will always serve the young master." Shangguan Yun nodded and said, "Is that so? But Chengfeng doesn't seem to treat you as a maid~" Shuang'er said with a sly delight, "The young master loves Shuang'er, and Shuang'er will never leave the young master in this life." Shangguan Yun helped Shuang'er up with a hollow hand and said, "Okay, don't kneel anymore. Do you have anything to ask of me?"

Shuang'er lowered her head and thought to herself, "The Sect Master is so kind, not at all arrogant." When she heard the Sect Master's question, Shuang'er remembered that she had come to see the Sect Master for an important matter, and hurriedly said, "Young Master, send Shuang'er a message and ask the Sect Master to help find out who has replaced a cultivator named Luo Xiang in his previous position." Shangguan Yun thought for a while and said, "We know about Luo Xiang. He died while on business trips more than ninety years ago. The Sect has been investigating for a while but has not found any useful clues."

Shangguan Yun pondered for a while, and then began to ask people through voice transmission. After a long while, Shangguan Yun looked at Shuang'er and said, "Luo Xiang used to manage the entry and exit of the Thunder Boat in the Thunder Boat Square. After his death, his position was taken over by his junior brother, Yu Shu." Shuang'er quickly transmitted Shangguan Yun's words to Pan Chengfeng.

In Fuguang Town, Yancheng, three or four hours had passed since Pan Chengfeng sent a message to Shuang'er. Pan Chengfeng paced back and forth anxiously. Qian'er asked, "Chengfeng, what's wrong with you? You have been feeling uneasy from the beginning till now." Pan Chengfeng said, "I am waiting for Shuang'er's reply. If my idea is confirmed, then I will have a chance to dig a big hole for the Yu family, or even destroy the entire Yu family!"

Time passed by little by little, Pan Chengfeng suddenly felt something in his heart, stretched out his hand, and a communication talisman appeared in his hand. Pan Chengfeng hurriedly injected his magic power, and Shuang'er's voice rang in his mind: "Master, Luo Xiang used to manage the Thunder Boat in the Thunder Boat Square, and now Yu Shu has replaced him." Pan Chengfeng clenched his fists excitedly, suppressing some excitement and anger and said: "It was indeed the Yu family who did it! The Yu family must have done a lot of such things over the years of the Imperial Thunder Sect!"

Qian'er saw that Pan Chengfeng's emotions fluctuated greatly, and asked with concern: "Chengfeng, what's the matter that makes you excited and angry?" Pan Chengfeng took a deep breath, adjusted his mood and said: "The Yu family is really bold~ No wonder they have trained so many assassins." Qian'er didn't know that Pan Chengfeng came out with a sect mission this time, and Pan Chengfeng didn't hide it from her, and roughly told Qian'er his guess. Qian'er frowned and said: "This matter is of great importance. You can't convict the Yu family based on your guesses. You must have real evidence."

Pan Chengfeng sat back in Qian'er's boss chair, stroking his chin and said, "Now I'm worried that the two killers have been silenced. An Yi and An Er said that some of these killers would disappear inexplicably. He guessed that they were either killed because of mission failure, or they were silenced by the Yu family themselves." Qian'er said, "This matter involves too many people. I think you should report it to the sect and let them send someone to investigate." Pan Chengfeng shook his head and said, "Uncle Yun picked this mission for me. I think Uncle Yun should know something about it, but he doesn't have any real evidence."

Qian'er asked doubtfully, "You mean, this might be a test from the leader of the Yu Lei Sect?" Pan Chengfeng nodded and said, "It's very likely. Uncle Yun knows that I have a feud with the Yu family, so why did he choose this task?" Pan Chengfeng sighed and said, "It seems that I have to go to Xinguo, and I have to bring An Yi with me. It should be fine here. The Ximen family and the Li family are not powerful enough. Qian'er has revenge to take. There is no need to worry about anything." Qian'er's body trembled slightly. Pan Chengfeng stroked Qian'er's pretty face and said, "Isn't he just a child of the Li family? You brought An Er with you and swaggered around. In front of everyone in the Li family, you tortured him to death! I wonder who dares to stop you!"

Qian'er suddenly shed two clear tears, hugged Pan Chengfeng's waist and whispered: "Thank you~" Just after she said thank you, Qian'er suddenly felt like she was electrocuted, pushed Pan Chengfeng away, and said angrily: "You, you, why don't you know the occasion, suddenly...just..." Pan Chengfeng pulled Qian'er back and said: "We are already an old couple, touching a few times and then...Qian'er, let go, your husband is wrong! Let go quickly! You're going to pinch my flesh!~Ah~~"

Qian'er sat in the boss chair angrily. Pan Chengfeng rubbed the flesh on the inside of his thigh and said flatteringly, "Qian'er, don't be angry. I couldn't help myself just now and didn't notice that the atmosphere was inappropriate." Qian'er slapped him on the back of his head. Pan Chengfeng sighed and said, "Okay, I'll take An Yi to do the work first, and I'll apologize to you when I come back." Pan Chengfeng transmitted his voice, "An Yi." With a swish, An Yi appeared behind Pan Chengfeng and bowed, saying, "What do you want, young master?" Pan Chengfeng said, "I'll trouble you to go to Xinguo with me this time." An Yi was secretly surprised, but didn't ask any more questions. He bowed and said, "Yes!"

Seeing that the two were really leaving, Qian'er hurriedly sighed. Pan Chengfeng turned around with a smile and said, "I knew Qian'er couldn't bear to leave me~" Qian'er stood up, came to Pan Chengfeng, tidied Pan Chengfeng's clothes, and said angrily, "You go to investigate that matter, it's very dangerous, you must be careful. Listen to An Yi's opinions more, and don't fight with others unless it's absolutely necessary. The Yu family is a behemoth." Pan Chengfeng grabbed Qian'er's hand and said, "Don't worry, my life is valuable! I won't put myself in danger." Qian'er looked at An Yi and said, "Protect Chengfeng well, and I'll give you brothers money when I come back." An Yi said, "Don't worry, madam, An Yi will protect the young master."

Qian'er looked at Pan Chengfeng reluctantly as he left. She turned around to adjust her mood, sat back in the boss chair, and her momentum changed. She said, "An Er." An Er appeared in front of Qian'er like a ghost, and said with a bow, "What do you want, Madam?" Qian'er said, "How is the investigation going?" An Er bowed and said, "The Li family is sorting out their wealth and goods. They should be preparing to leave Yancheng. The Ximen family is still contacting some families. They probably haven't given up yet." Qian'er sneered, "What about the Nian family and the Zheng family? Are there any unusual movements?"

An Er said, "The Zheng family has been very normal these days. Zheng Qilong is rectifying the family internally, and the effect is good. The Nian family has also been honest since Qinglingzui was launched." Qian'er murmured, "They'd better be honest, otherwise I won't be polite." It's not that Qian'er is crossing the river to burn the bridge, but some time ago, the Ximen family and the Li family were squeezed by the Zhong family and had no living space, and Nian Xiongying suddenly felt a little sad. He actually met with the heads of the two families in private, which made Qian'er very unhappy. However, the content of the conversation was also brought back by An Er without missing a word. Fortunately, the Nian family did not intend to turn against them, otherwise Qian'er would have dealt with him long ago.
