The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 912 Hei Kun 'Borrows' Lei Zhou

Thunder God Sect of Eastern Continent, Thunder Boat Workshop.

Hei Kun walked in looking displeased.

Lin Hua, who was working, looked up and immediately put on a smile, saying, "Brother Hei, weren't you supposed to be going back to your family to get married today? What brings you here to see your elder brother?"

Hei Kun sighed inwardly, thinking, "The Zhong family patriarch is no simple man. I couldn't avoid him even if I wanted to. Sigh..."

Lin Hua approached Hei Kun with a grin, took his arm, and said, "Come, come, sit down first. Why do you look so worried? What happened?"

Hei Kun composed himself and forced a smile, saying, "Nothing much. I came to see you today because I need your help with something."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hua pointed at Hei Kun and said, "I knew it. You wouldn't come here for no reason. So, tell me, what can I do to help you?"

Hei Kun was displeased upon hearing this and retorted angrily, "What are you saying? When I came to you last time, was it to ask for your help?"

The fairy Yue Ru from Taojing Town still misses you!

Upon hearing this, Lin Hua hurriedly covered Hei Kun's mouth and exclaimed in panic, "Brother, don't say such things here!"

Hei Kun disdainfully pulled Lin Hua's hand away and said, "What are you afraid of? How many people in the sect haven't spent money there?"

Lin Hua hurriedly used his divine sense to scan the surroundings before casting a restriction, saying, "This is something that can be done but not talked about. If my subordinates hear about it, where will I, as their superior, put my face? Besides, there's also the sect's law enforcement hall."

Hei Kun snorted, "What are you pretending to be a gentleman in front of me for? When you tried to take Yue Ru from me last time, weren't you afraid of people finding out?"

Lin Hua's face turned red as he said, "A fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman. Junior Brother Hei, you've been there quite a bit, so why make fun of your elder brother?"

Seeing Lin Hua's discomfiture, Hei Kun chuckled and said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Springtime has brought another batch of girls. I heard there are four Nascent Soul Grand Perfection cultivators this time, and they're all still virgins!"

Lin Hua's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he rubbed his hands together, saying, "Then shall we go tonight?"

"What are you thinking about!" Hei Kun said seriously, "I'm a man who's going to get married soon~~"

Just as Lin Hua was about to say "that's true," he heard Hei Kun continue, "I'll go together after I've 'fed' my wife at home."

Lin Hua was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "I knew it, you're not a lecherous scoundrel, how could you be so honest~"

The two began to discuss the four Nascent Soul Grand Perfection female cultivators who were 'full of spring'.

This conversation lasted for half an hour. Finally, Hei Kun said, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements with the madam. All four of them have to be reserved for me. Otherwise, her shop will have to move elsewhere."

Lin Hua chuckled and said, "Brother Hei is really impressive~ Then we'll wait for you to come back from your wedding..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hei Kun suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "Holy crap!"

Lin Hua was taken aback and asked, "Junior Brother Hei, what are you going to rely on?"

Hei Kun heard the phrase "Holy crap" from Pan Chengfeng, and since it sounded good, he said it too.

Hei Kun stood up and said, "You've led me astray. I came to see you because I had something to discuss, and now we're talking about girls full of springtime charm!"

Lin Hua thought to himself, "Didn't you say that first? How come you're blaming me?"

However, he dared not offend Hei Kun, and quickly smiled and said, "It's my fault, brother. Tell me, what do you need my help with?"

Hei Kun said bluntly, "Lend me one of the small thunder boats under your jurisdiction."

Lin Hua laughed upon hearing this, "I thought it was something serious. Give me Elder Hei's order, and I'll get it done for you right away, in less than a quarter of an hour!"

Hei Kun said calmly, "No."

Lin Hua was taken aback, then said, "Then go and get it from Elder Hei now. I'll wait for you here."

"Without Father's written order," Hei Kun said directly, "Brother wants to borrow the Thunder Boat directly without going through any formalities."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hua exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! What are you trying to do? Are you trying to kill me?!"

Hei Kun sighed and said, "Brother, I don't mean to harm you, but I'm really in trouble this time. I need your help, senior brother."

As he spoke, Hei Kun cupped his hands and was about to bow to Lin Hua.

Lin Hua quickly grabbed Hei Kun's arm to stop him from bowing down and asked with concern, "Brother, what exactly happened? Even Elder Hei can't resolve this?"

Hei Kun opened his mouth, and finally reluctantly gave a general account of the matter, concluding, "I can't afford to offend that Brother Pan Chengfeng. It's understandable that I couldn't help with the previous matter."

If we can't even get this small thunderboat borrowed, who knows what kind of revenge that kid will take on me when he gets back..."

Lin Hua also sighed and said, "That Pan Chengfeng, not to mention us disciples, even the elders don't want to mess with him. How did Brother Hei get involved with him?"

Hei Kun wanted to say that he didn't want to either, but unfortunately he delivered himself to the door, so no one could blame him.

Lin Hua paced back and forth in his office. After a quarter of an hour, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll help you out! At worst, I'll just have to quit this job!"

This is the kind of friendship that comes from "fighting together and visiting prostitutes together".

Hei Kun was deeply moved, his eyes reddening as he said, "Thank you so much, brother! Next time, it'll be my treat!"

Yu Lei Sect, Tao Jing Town.

Qian'er and her group had been waiting at the inn for two hours. The reason they asked Hei Kun to borrow the Thunder Boat was because they were going to Nanzhou to discuss business with Zijin Mansion.

Originally, the plan was to take the Thunder Boat, along with a large quantity of Zhong family wine, and travel to Nanzhou on the Thunder Boat.

After all, using teleportation techniques to cross states is very dangerous, and you also have to carry so much alcohol.

Storage rings have limited capacity and are extremely expensive. The Zhong family doesn't care about one or two, or even a dozen or so, but if they want to carry so much alcohol, they would need at least several hundred to fit it all in.

Along the way, they would pass through the territories of many sects and factions, and there were not only ordinary people, but also bandits and thieves, and naturally, many cultivators as well.

In the cultivation world, it's common to be robbed or killed in the wilderness.

However, as long as you ride the Thunder Boat, it not only has defensive formations, but it is also incredibly fast, and ordinary cultivators cannot keep up with its speed.

Qian'er needs to get to Nanzhou as soon as possible, find Shangguan Yun, and explain that Zhong Jia Leizhou was intercepted.

It's too late; I'm afraid the Yu family might have sold those boats privately.

Although the Thunder Boat sold privately cannot be returned to the Thunder Control Sect for maintenance, it can still be used for several hundred years without any problem.

Time passed slowly, and just when Zhong Wuyan was about to lose her composure, Hei Kun finally arrived.

Qian'er quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother Hei. I will explain the situation to my husband and ask him to compensate you."

Hei Kun's expression was not good, but he felt a little better after hearing Qian'er's words. He said lightly, "Alas, I owe the boss a favor because of this Thunder Boat."

Qian'er knew exactly what Hei Kun meant, and quickly said, "I promised Senior Brother that I would increase the amount of wine to two hundred jugs. I hope Senior Brother will accept it."

Hei Kun chuckled to himself, thinking, "A trip to Chunyi has earned me that kid's favor, plus these drinks. I've hit the jackpot!"

As the group arrived outside the town, Hei Kun waved his hand, and a small thunderboat, fifty meters long and seven or eight meters wide, appeared before them.

Although it wasn't the first time the Zhong family had seen Lei Zhou, this was the first time they had experienced him so closely.

Zhong Wuyan stroked the Thunder Boat and exclaimed, "Such concentrated thunder power! The Zhong family actually has over a hundred of these Thunder Boats!"

Hei Kun laughed and said, "This is only the smallest one. There are only twenty small rooms on it, and the control room can accommodate two people."

In other words, the small thunderboat can only carry twenty-two people.

Qian'er, unable to hide her delight, asked, "What about the medium and large thunderboats?"

Outside, we've only seen small, medium, and large thunderboats. Here, apart from Hei Kun, no one else has ever seen one.

Hei Kun proudly declared, "A medium-sized thunderboat can carry up to three hundred people, while a large thunderboat is extraordinary, capable of carrying ten thousand people!"

Moreover, the large thunderboat comes with its own defensive and offensive formations. The highest-strength protective formation can defend against a full-force attack equivalent to that of a cultivator in the early stages of the Integration Realm!

However, if you don't need to use it, please don't use it carelessly, as it can burn the crystal beads very badly.

Zhong Wuyan said excitedly, "Once we get our hands on five large thunderboats, the Zhong family's business will be able to cover the entire continent!"

They have risen to become a powerful and influential family!
