Chapter 916 Doing the Dirty Work (Long Chapter)
Nanzhou Holy Flame Island, in the Holy Flame Realm.
Inside the cabin.
Behind Pan Chengfeng were Xin'er, Yun Feiyang, and Ye Qinqin. Oh, and there was also Ye Bufan sitting on the ground.
The four men knew what Pan Chengfeng was planning after hearing his words.
Yun Feiyang hurriedly transmitted his voice, "Junior brother, are we really going to kill Yu Jiancheng here? Outside..."
Pan Chengfeng interrupted, saying, "Don't worry, with the formation in place, no one outside will know what's happening inside."
When Li Ke and the other man heard that Pan Chengfeng's words about cleaning up the house meant he didn't intend to harm them, they felt somewhat relieved and took a few steps back to distance themselves from Yu Jiancheng.
Seeing that he was being isolated, Yu Jiancheng sensed something was wrong and stared at Pan Chengfeng, saying, "Captain Pan, I haven't done anything, why should you kill me?"
Pan Chengfeng sneered, "Yeah, you didn't do anything, but I just can't stand the look of you, is that a problem?"
Yu Jiancheng's face stiffened, and he looked at Ye Bufan, who was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, and said, "Senior Brother Ye, have you thought this through? Without the power of the Yu family, this kid and the remaining cultivators of the sect have no hope of seizing the Demon-Companion Grass!"
The Ye family still has about 500 people left, while the Yu family still has 1,000 people, and every single one of them is at the Refinement Void Realm.
Of the disciples who followed Pan Chengfeng into the sect, only three thousand remain.
Ye Bufan remained unmoved. He wasn't stupid; he absolutely couldn't stand against Pan Chengfeng now.
Pan Chengfeng sneered, "Yu Jiancheng, are you scared? Haha~"
Yu Jiancheng retorted angrily, "You think I'm afraid of you? Don't take yourself too seriously!"
After speaking, Yu Jiancheng suddenly began to form hand seals, and a wave of icy magical power spread out in all directions.
Yu Jiancheng knew he was no match for Pan Chengfeng; he only wanted to hold Pan Chengfeng off for a moment to buy a little time to escape the formation.
Once he's outside, he'll be protected by over a thousand cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, making it impossible for Pan Chengfeng to kill him.
After all, there were many cultivators from other sects and families in the Eastern Continent outside, and Pan Chengfeng dared not 'kill each other' in front of so many people.
After all, the cultivators of the Yu family were also disciples of the sect, and they all wore the sect's robes.
"Frost Barrier!" Yu Jiancheng made the first move, and an ice wall suddenly rose up, blocking Pan Chengfeng's path.
After casting his spell, Yu Jiancheng whirled around, looking at the array barrier so close at hand, and thought to himself, "Only ten meters! I can hold it off! Pan Chengfeng, you just wait and see what I'll do when I get out of here..."
"Bang! Bang!" Two sounds, one was the sound of Pan Chengfeng smashing through the ice wall, and the other was the sound of Yu Jiancheng being held down.
Pan Chengfeng grabbed Yu Jiancheng by the back of the neck with one hand and slammed him to the ground, sneering, "Yu Jiancheng, have you forgotten something?"
"I'm a high-level body cultivator! How could you possibly escape at such close range?!" With that, he grabbed Yu Jiancheng.
When Yu Jiancheng saw that his magical ice wall had been easily shattered by Pan Chengfeng, fear gripped his entire body.
Feeling the immense force on his neck, he was terrified and hurriedly cried out, "Captain Pan, it was my fault! I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!!!"
Pan Chengfeng said coldly, "You know you're wrong? You, Young Master Yu, didn't do anything wrong, did you? What did you do wrong?"
Yu Jiancheng dared not play dumb and quickly replied, "I...no, I shouldn't have stood by and watched my brothers die, causing the deaths of over a thousand of my fellow disciples. I...I will never dare to do it again!!"
Death was so close. Yu Jiancheng tried to use his magic to resist, but the large hand on his neck seemed to sever his connection with his body, making him unable to muster any magic power.
Pan Chengfeng, carrying Yu Jiancheng who looked like a chick, turned to face Ye Bufan, Ye Qinqin, and Yun Feiyang and said, "Look closely, this is the guy. He ran away with his men when Senior Brother Yun encountered the cultivators from the Fanhai Sect!"
"He caused the deaths of over a thousand fellow disciples! I, the captain, am now enforcing the sect rules, cleaning house for the sect, and executing him!!"
Before Yu Jiancheng could even struggle, he delivered a fatal blow to the heart.
With a 'plop!' sound, a large hand pierced through Yu Jiancheng's vest and ripped out his filthy heart.
Yu Jiancheng stared at the large hand protruding from his chest and his beating heart. His eyes slowly became unfocused, and finally his head lolled to the side, and he lost his life.
Pan Chengfeng crushed Yu Jiancheng's heart with his large hand, then smashed Yu Jiancheng's head with a palm strike, destroying his primordial spirit as well.
But Pan Chengfeng still seemed unsatisfied. He casually tossed Yu Jiancheng's headless corpse aside and then swept it across the room, kicking the headless corpse to pieces, sending bits of flesh flying everywhere.
In the old Yu family residence, far away in Dongzhou.
The old servant guarding the ancestral hall suddenly heard a crisp "crack" sound and hurriedly looked towards the altar.
Upon seeing the broken soul tablet, he was horrified and hurriedly ran towards the Yu family's main hall.
Within the Holy Flame Realm.
After killing Yu Jiancheng, Pan Chengfeng spat and said, "You got off easy! If I knew how to lock souls and spirits, I would have tortured you for hundreds of years!"
Yun Feiyang stepped forward and said, "Junior brother, you've had your fun, but what about those Yu family cultivators outside? They know that Yu Jiancheng has come here."
Pan Chengfeng chuckled and said, "Any excuse will do, Senior Brother, don't worry, I have a plan."
Pan Chengfeng looked at Li Ke, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and smiled, "I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Li to keep this a secret for now."
Li Ke thought to himself, "This kid is indeed ruthless and decisive. I'd better stay away from him in the future."
Li Ke nodded slightly and said, "This is a matter within your Yu Lei Sect, and my Yu Gui Sect will not interfere."
Upon hearing this, Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "That had to be the case, otherwise don't blame me for dealing with you."
After cleaning up the scene, Pan Chengfeng removed the formation, put away the array flags, and said, "Let's go see our fellow disciples."
Yun Feiyang brought Pan Chengfeng to the temporary residence of the Yu Lei Sect. Pan Chengfeng scanned the area with his divine sense and understood everything.
Of the 10,000 Yu Lei Sect cultivators arranged by Shangguan Yun, only 3,190 remain. The Yu family still has 1,100 members, while the Ye family has also suffered significant losses, with fewer than 500 remaining.
Pan Chengfeng withdrew his divine sense, his face grim, and said, "Is this all there are? Could there be some fellow disciples who didn't make it here in time?"
Yun Feiyang understood what Pan Chengfeng meant and shook his head, saying, "We've been here for over a month now. Judging by the journey, even if something happened and we were delayed, we should have arrived by now."
Pan Chengfeng took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to the Yu family's residence!"
Yun Feiyang was startled and quickly pulled Pan Chengfeng back, saying, "Junior brother, don't be impulsive. There are still many cultivators from the Eastern Continent here."
Pan Chengfeng laughed and said, "Senior brother, do you think junior brother is going to slaughter the Yu family?"
Yun Feiyang was taken aback and said, "Isn't that right?"
Pan Chengfeng gently shook off Yun Feiyang's hand and said, "Is Junior Brother such a brainless person?"
"Let's go. Haven't they always wanted to steal the Demon-Companion Grass? I'll grant their wish!"
When the two arrived at the location of the Yu family cultivators, seeing the more than a thousand Yu family cultivators who were unharmed, Pan Chengfeng's anger flared up.
He desperately wanted to crush these people with his own hands, but the thought of doing so would ruin his reputation if word got out.
He's destined to be the sect leader in the future. If word gets out that he's murdered his fellow disciples, how can he possibly be the sect leader?
Pan Chengfeng closed his eyes to control his emotions and suppress the murderous intent in his heart. He adjusted himself for a while before opening his eyes again.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Yu Shaoqing and Yu Shaoming came over, cupped their hands in greeting to Pan Chengfeng, and said, "Greetings, Captain Pan."
Pan Chengfeng nodded slightly and said, "Have you all rested well?"
The two brothers exchanged glances, unsure of what Pan Chengfeng meant. Yu Shaoming instinctively replied, "We've all rested. Does the captain have any instructions?"
Pan Chengfeng nodded and said, "Breaking news: cultivators from the Southwest Continent are preparing to once again besiege the Three-Headed Demon Lord. We can't wait any longer."
Upon hearing this, the two brothers asked, "Are we going to steal the Demon-Companion Grass?"
Pan Chengfeng replied, "That's right, I've already made the arrangements. You go ahead and lie in ambush. I'll arrive with my men shortly after."
After saying that, Pan Chengfeng turned and left.
Yu Shaoming hurriedly called out, "Captain Pan, please wait a moment. My cousin hasn't returned yet. Does the captain know where he went?"
Pan Chengfeng slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory."
Yu Shaoming and Yu Shaoqing asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Pan Chengfeng said calmly, "That's right, Senior Brother Yu has already set off. He will be waiting for you a thousand miles north of the Demon-Companion Grass. You should hurry and meet up with him."
Yun Feiyang's heart was in his throat. He thought to himself, "Who would believe this nonsense? How could Yu Jiancheng have gone there alone?"
Surprisingly, Yu Shaoqing and Yu Shaoming did not suspect anything. Instead, they cupped their hands in greeting and withdrew, calling for people to prepare to depart.
Pan Chengfeng flew away, and Yun Feiyang hurriedly followed, asking telepathically, "Junior brother, what's going on? They..."
Pan Chengfeng replied, "Senior Brother Yun, do you not understand why they believed me so easily?"
Yun Feiyang nodded and said, "I really don't understand. Shouldn't they at least send Yu Jiancheng a message to confirm?"
Pan Chengfeng sneered, "The communication talisman will definitely be sent, but not now. When they decide to send the communication talisman, that will be their death day!"
While instructing the Yu family cultivators to assemble, Yu Shaoqing transmitted his voice to Yu Jiancheng, saying, "Brother, that Yu Jiancheng is going too far. He doesn't respect us brothers at all!"
Yu Shaoming sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do. After all, they're the legitimate son."
Yu Shaoqing snorted, "What nonsense about being a legitimate son! I don't know where this bastard came from, but suddenly he's become one of the heirs to the family head! I think..."
"Shut up!" Yu Shaoming roared. "If you want to die, go die by yourself. Don't drag our family down with you!"
Yu Jiancheng was personally brought back by the family head and has also been approved by the clan elders. If you dare to spout any more nonsense, I, your elder brother, will kill you!
Yu Shaoqing knew his brother was right; Yu Jiancheng's identity was beyond doubt, after all, Yu Sheren had personally brought him back to the family and approved it through the clan elders' council.
But he was just not convinced. How could a member of the Yu family, raised outside the family, have such a high status and power as soon as he came back?
They worked hard for so many years, cultivating themselves with only a little bit of resources, only to end up as slaves to others.
The two brothers have suffered a lot of abuse from Yu Jiancheng lately. Moreover, Yu Jiancheng not only scolded them but also physically assaulted Yu Shaoqing.
Although Yu Shaoqing was only at the Refinement Void Realm, Yu Jiancheng's strength was much higher than his, and that attack left him injured for quite some time.
Therefore, Yu Shaoqing had many complaints about Yu Jiancheng.
"Send a message to the young master," Yu Shaoming said. "Ask him for his exact location so we can go and meet him."
Yu Shaoqing was immediately displeased and said sullenly, "I won't send it. If I do, I'll inevitably get scolded again."
"Bro, don't you know what kind of guy that is? He curses at people for no reason. Let's go there first, and if we can't find him, we can send him the message."
Yu Shaoming thought about it and agreed, nodding and saying, "Alright then, let's go over there quickly. Just try not to hang around him too much in the future."
The Yu family acted quickly, and within fifteen minutes they were ready and boarded their escape light.
Watching the more than a thousand cultivators leave, Yun Feiyang clicked his tongue in amazement and asked, "Junior brother, how did you know they wouldn't send a message to Yu Jiancheng?"
Pan Chengfeng sneered, "Yu Jiancheng is such a narrow-minded person. He has only been back in the Yu family for a short time and wants to establish his authority again. But with such little time and his methods, what can he possibly do?"
Yun Feiyang's eyes lit up and he said, "Junior Brother, do you mean he offended his subordinates?"
Pan Chengfeng nodded and said, "It's impossible for the people below to be of one mind with him so quickly. Maybe if he were given more time, he could, but he won't have the chance."
Yun Feiyang then thought of another problem. Although the Yu family cultivators had been sent away, they would eventually discover that Yu Jiancheng was dead. After a little thought, he could figure out that Pan Chengfeng was behind it.
Then he asked, "Junior brother, are you planning to intercept and kill them? Isn't that too risky?"
Pan Chengfeng chuckled and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, we don't need to lift a finger."
Thousands of miles away, Nangong Tian, who was meditating to heal his injuries, suddenly received a message talisman. After listening to the content, his brows furrowed.
Upon seeing this, Qu Yingsheng, the attendant beside him, hurriedly asked, "Young Master, what happened?"
Nangong Tian did not answer Qu Yingsheng, but pondered for a while and said, "Take five thousand men and ambush a thousand miles to the north."
"If you encounter any cultivators from the Yu family of Dongzhou, kill them all. Remember, leave no one alive."
Qu Yingsheng quickly cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate will go immediately, but young master, you..."
Nangong Tian said calmly, "I'm fine, I'm almost fully recovered."
Hearing Nangong Tian say this, Qu Yingsheng said with relief, "Then I will go immediately, and I promise that none of them will escape."
After Qu Yingsheng and his men left, Nangong Tian muttered to himself, "This kid said he was bringing me a gift, but why do I feel like I'm doing him a dirty job..."
Nangong Tian muttered for a while and said, "Forget it, as long as they are cultivators from the three major sects of the Eastern Continent, I will kill as many as they come. As long as they bring back their identity tokens, they can be exchanged for spirit stones!"
