The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 473 'Smart' Honan (2 in 1)

Another month has passed in the ancient battlefield of the Dry Bone Realm. After Pan Chengfeng taught Xue Chuan a lesson, the people from the four sects seemed to have suddenly quieted down. However, the slight fluctuations in their magic power proved that they were not as honest as they seemed. Although the people from the four sects did not communicate openly, they should have reached some agreements in secret. Shangguan Heng and Pan Chengfeng were not afraid. If they had known that they would unite, they would not have let them follow.

Pang Qiaoqiao and four other formation masters studied a formation for more than half a month. This formation was the most troublesome formation the team had encountered so far, and it was even more complicated than the previous killing formation. Pan Chengfeng had a hunch that there was a great opportunity behind this formation! Pan Chengfeng was now almost able to break through to the sixth level of the Golden Core, so now he did nothing but meditate and absorb spirit stones, and the spirit stones he absorbed were medium-grade spirit stones.

Shangguan Heng stood ten meters away from Pan Chengfeng to protect him. After all, there were not only people from his team here, but also hundreds of people from other sects. Pan Chengfeng absorbed the middle-grade spirit stones. People in his team were no longer surprised, but people from other sects saw it for the first time. They dared not absorb the spirit stones casually. After all, spirit stones were a scarce resource, and they had to trade with the sects for crystal beads or things they needed after leaving.

Seeing Pan Chengfeng absorbing the spirit stones so openly, Xue Chuan couldn't help but talk. However, after being punched by Pan Chengfeng, he dared not speak now, and changed to voice transmission. A series of subtle mana fluctuations lingered in Jin Ping'er's ears: "Sister Ping'er, look at that Pan Chengfeng, he is actually absorbing the spirit stones here like this, and Shangguan Heng doesn't care. The people of the Yu Lei Sect have no rules at all." Jin Ping'er has been dealing with Xue Chuan a lot recently, basically talking about Pan Chengfeng. Jin Ping'er is a little annoyed with him, and replied lightly: "Senior Brother Xue, let's not talk too much about other people's affairs."

Xue Chuan was holding back his anger, so he was not willing to stop. He kept on talking to Jin Ping'er, "I think Pan Chengfeng is too arrogant. He doesn't even take Shangguan Heng seriously. He will be punished sooner or later!" Seeing Pan Chengfeng absorbing the middle-grade spirit stones piece by piece, Xue Chuan couldn't hide the hatred in his eyes at all. He continued to talk to Jin Ping'er, "That kid absorbed hundreds of middle-grade spirit stones..." Jin Ping'er finally lost her patience, frowned slightly and said, "Senior Brother Xue, I think he dares to absorb spirit stones, and it is his ability. Senior Brother, you can also absorb spirit stones to practice. Senior Brother Jiang and I will definitely not tell other people in the sect." The implication is that if you dare to absorb it, you can do it too~

This sentence made Xue Chuan speechless. If he dared to absorb it, he wouldn't have to complain here. The rare resources must be taken back. Only the combined cultivators in the sect can use them. Others can only use crystal beads for cultivation. Just when Xue Chuan was gritting his teeth in hatred, there was a sudden fluctuation of mana from the Yu Lei Sect. Pan Chengfeng smiled and opened his eyes. Shangguan Heng bowed slightly and said, "Congratulations, Junior Brother, your mana has improved a lot. I'm afraid that when you reach the Nascent Soul Realm, your mana will be stronger than mine~"

The people from the other four sects were also secretly shocked. Pan Chengfeng only advanced to a small realm, but how could they feel that his mana had improved a lot? This was incredible. Pan Chengfeng laughed and said, "Brother, you are too kind. I don't know when I will reach the Nascent Soul Realm. This time, you can retreat and strive for the Fusion Realm. I dare not compete with you." Pan Chengfeng's strength has improved again, which is a good thing for the Yu Lei Sect team, but it is not the case for the people from the other four sects.

Pan Chengfeng looked around. Yun Feiyang, Xin'er and Kang Xing were all meditating. Pang Qiaoqiao and the formation masters from the other four sects were studying the formation. Shangguan Heng's four servants were recuperating. They were seriously injured last time. It has been more than a month and they have only recovered half of their combat power. It seems that they need to recuperate for another month or two before they can recover. Hei Kun had nothing to do. He was already at the critical point of breaking through, and meditating was useless. Shangguan Heng observed everyone's situation and said with a smile: "Everyone has gained a lot from this trip to the secret realm. If we can get the companion grass, this secret realm will be perfect."

Pan Chengfeng nodded and said, "Brother, you are right. I feel that there is a great opportunity behind this formation, which may be the Companion Demon Grass!" Shangguan Heng's pupils shrank, and he asked in a voice transmission, "Feeling? Why do you say that, brother?" Pan Chengfeng shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Not only do I have this feeling, I also feel a strong danger signal. It's very dangerous behind this formation!" Shangguan Heng saw Pan Chengfeng's serious expression, which didn't seem to be joking. He thought for a while and asked, "So what do you say, brother?"

Pan Chengfeng pointed in the direction of the four sects' cultivators and said in a voice transmission: "Wait until the formation is broken, let them take the lead, and we'll see what happens." Shangguan Heng also looked over after hearing this, hesitated for a while and said: "Will this be too..." Pan Chengfeng smiled and continued: "Brother Shangguan, they die or we die, is there any need to hesitate? Who asked them to follow us all the time?" Shangguan Heng was not a good man and agreed after thinking for a while, but he didn't know how Pan Chengfeng would let the four sects take the lead, so he asked: "How do we let the four sects take the lead?"

Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "That's easy. Don't worry. I'll consolidate my cultivation. Can you please protect me for a few more days, brother?" Shangguan Heng naturally would not refuse. He nodded and said, "I'll watch over you. Just focus on consolidating your cultivation~" Pan Chengfeng quickly entered a state of meditation and used his skills to consolidate his cultivation. The magic power he gained this time was quite a lot, and he needed to control the magic power in his body as soon as possible.

On the other side, although the cultivators from the four sects were sitting apart from each other by several dozen meters, it did not prevent them from communicating through voice transmission. When Pan Chengfeng broke through the sixth level of the Golden Core, the leaders here had already started to discuss. Xue Chuan was the first one who could not sit still, and sent a voice transmission: "You fellow Taoists have also felt it, right?" Ding Sanshi of Lingquan Sect, Huo Nan of Qingyun Sect, and Xia Yu of Lingxiao Sect replied at the same time: "Of course~" Xue Chuan continued: "Shangguan Heng alone is already very difficult, and now there is Pan Chengfeng. I estimate that his strength should be not much different from those present, and he may even be stronger than us."

Huo Nan of Qingyun Sect said calmly: "You may not know that Pan Chengfeng has killed peak-level cultivators before. Although they were some rare peak-level cultivators, they were still peak-level cultivators. At that time, he was only at the second level of Jindan, but now he is at the sixth level of Jindan!" Several people really didn't know about this. If Qingyun Sect and Yulei Sect were not close, Huo Nan would not have known about it. After all, this kind of thing is a big deal in Dazhou, but in the whole Dongzhou, it is just a trivial matter.

Hearing Huo Nan reveal Pan Chengfeng's record again, the people from several sects were all shocked. Xue Chuan hurriedly asked: "Do you really mean this, Brother Huo? Jindan kills Lianxu? Don't lie to me!" Huo Nan was unhappy and said coldly: "Brother Xue, do I have to lie to you?! This matter is almost known to everyone in the Yu Lei Sect, but it has not yet reached you." Jin Ping'er hurriedly apologized for Xue Chuan: "Brother Huo, Brother Xue didn't mean that. I'm here to apologize to you first."

Huo Nan felt a little soft when he heard Jin Ping'er's voice, and replied with a smile: "Sister Ping'er, you don't have to apologize, I'm not that petty." Jin Ping'er said with a smile: "Brother Huo just said that Pan Chengfeng's golden elixir cut through Lianxu, and everyone should confirm this. Now we are in the same boat, if Brother Xue knows the details of Pan Chengfeng, please tell us more~" Xue Chuan almost couldn't help swearing when he heard Huo Nan also called Jin Ping'er sister, but fortunately Jiang Chen stopped him. Now Xue Chuan is like a wolfhound, and he will bark at anyone who talks to Jin Ping'er.

Huo Nan paused for a moment and continued, "Since Sister Ping'er wants to know, I will tell you what I know." Everyone pricked up their ears. They were all very curious about Pan Chengfeng. Especially Jin Ping'er. Just like Xue Chuan said, she rarely left the sect. The things she knew about the sect were all heard from others in the sect. Besides, apart from practicing, she spent almost all her time dealing with those spare tires. Otherwise, with her qualifications, it was unknown how long it would take for her to practice to the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage.

After Huo Nan sorted out some information about Pan Chengfeng, he began to talk: "This Pan Chengfeng, he joined the Yu Lei Sect about ten years ago. The strange thing is that as soon as he entered the Yu Lei Sect, he was accepted as a direct disciple by the Yu Lei Sect's Grand Elder Qiu Xiaotian. In the following few years, he slowly came to prominence in the Yu Lei Sect. In the Yu Lei Sect's direct disciple competition, he defeated Yun Feiyang and won the first place in the direct disciple competition. It was also in this competition that Pan Chengfeng offended the Yu family~" "Yu family?" Everyone was shocked.

Huo Nan nodded and continued, "That's right, the Yu family of Jin. Pan Chengfeng defeated Yu Qian, an outstanding child of the Yu family, in the competition. After that, for some reason, he fought with Yu Qian again and kicked Yu Qian's balls, hehe..." At this point, Huo Nan couldn't help laughing. It's conceivable how terrible Yu Qian's inner demons are. Now when everyone talks about Yu Qian, they will definitely talk about his balls being kicked. He is so ashamed to live. When Jin Ping'er heard this, her pretty face flushed and she said inwardly, "Tsk, that dirty bastard!"

Huo Nan laughed twice and continued, "From then on, Pan Chengfeng was completely at odds with the Yu family. The Yu family also made trouble for him several times, but with the protection of the Yu Lei Sect's Sect Master Shangguan and his master Qiu Xiaotian, they were unable to do anything to Pan Chengfeng for the time being." Xue Chuan asked in surprise again, "Sect Master Shangguan is protecting him?" Huo Nan said lightly, "Yes, I heard that now Pan Chengfeng doesn't need to report to the Sect Master Shangguan when he goes to see him." Xue Chuan murmured, "No wonder he is so arrogant!" He can go directly to the Sect Master without reporting. Even if Xue Chuan is the son of the Guiyi Sect's Sect Master, he has to say hello before going to see his father. If his father doesn't want to see him, he can't see his father.

Pan Chengfeng was right when he said, 'There is no place in the Yu Lei Sect that I cannot go to.' Well, there is a place that I cannot go to. Pan Chengfeng has never been to the cave of He Chaoran, the ancestor of the Yu Lei Sect. Huo Nan continued, "Pan Chengfeng has a lover outside the sect, who is the head of a small family in the Great Zhou Kingdom. The reason why Pan Chengfeng's strength was exposed was also because of this family. Several refining cultivators went to assassinate this head of the family, but Pan Chengfeng, who arrived in time, killed them all with one move! I heard that the move was the famous Thunder Dragon Technique of the Yu Lei Sect, which can move a mountain with one move."

Jin Ping'er opened her mouth slightly, this strength is really not to be underestimated. Huo Nan did not let everyone be surprised for long, and continued to break out more fierce news, slowly saying: "There is also news from the Yu Lei Sect, saying that this Pan Chengfeng may have a special physique, and it is the Savage Saint Body that is hard to come by in ten thousand years!" This news shocked the people of several sects for a long time! Xia Yu of Lingquan Sect was shocked to hear about the Savage Saint Body and said: "The second-ranked Savage Saint Body?" Huo Nan confirmed: "Yes, that's what the news said, but it has not been confirmed yet. But judging from various performances, it should be almost certain." Ding Sanshi said in a deep voice: "Sacred Body of Savage, I heard that this kind of physique has only been recorded three times in Aotian Continent, and I didn't expect that I encountered it for the fourth time."

Xue Chuan said coldly: "Everyone, he has such strength at the Golden Core stage now. If he is at the Nascent Soul stage or the Divine Transformation stage, wouldn't he be able to compete with the combined cultivators? If he goes one step further, no one in the entire Dongzhou will be his opponent!" Huo Nan's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said coldly: "Now let's join forces to kill them all, including the saint of the Beast Taming Sect. She also has a body of ten thousand beasts. Solve two problems at once!" Huo Nan said so much, and finally stated his purpose. For tens of thousands of years, the Qingyun Sect has been suppressed by the three sects. Originally, there was only one Shangguan Heng, and they were not so desperate. Now all three sects have suddenly emerged with some talents with special physiques. As long as they are trained a little, they can at least guarantee the prosperity of the sect for ten thousand years or even longer.

When the people from several sects heard what Huo Nan said, they all fell silent. Killing these two people would mean extinguishing the future of the Thunder Control Sect and the Beast Control Sect. It was very tempting, but also very scary. Seeing that everyone was silent, Huo Nan was about to add fuel to the fire, but Xue Chuan suddenly jumped out and sent a message to everyone: "The Thunder Control Sect has dominated Dongzhou for more than 100,000 years. What if it lasts for another 100,000 years? We..." Jiang Chen interrupted in the middle of his words: "Fellow Daoist Huo, the purpose of our visit to the ancient battlefield this time is to get the Demon Companion Grass. We should put other things aside."

Jin Ping'er also said: "Yes, Senior Brother Xue, have you forgotten? The Sect Master repeatedly told us that the biggest goal this time is the Monster Companion Grass. Once we get the Monster Companion Grass, we can consider other things~" Xue Chuan was confused and thought to himself: "Did father say that?" There are stupid people, but there are also smart people, and there are naturally more smart people among cultivators. Ding Sanshi followed Jin Ping'er's words and said: "Yes, the Sect Master of this sect has repeatedly reminded us that our Lingquan Sect is going to the Bone Realm to get the Monster Companion Grass this time." Xia Yu smiled and said: "Lingxiao Sect is the same. Before we get the Monster Companion Grass, it is not easy to cause trouble."

Seeing that no one was fooled, Huo Nan's plan to use people as pawns seemed to fail. He thought his sudden inspiration was brilliant, but he didn't expect that no one would be fooled. If he continued to force it, it would be too obvious. So Huo Nan smiled and said, "That's right, let's find the demon-companion grass first~"
