The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 939 Just One Look

Nanzhou Holy Flame Island, in the Holy Flame Realm.

To the west of the Holy Flame Realm, 100,000 miles from Demon Sparrow Mountain, lies a mountain range.

This place is covered in snow all year round, and not a blade of grass grows here. Apart from snow, there are rocky mountain walls and scattered, unidentified skeletons.

Xueyou walked gracefully on the white snow, followed by two unlucky guys with their heads covered in snow.

They have been hiking here for three days.

Three days ago, Xue You led Pan Chengfeng and Nangong Tianfei to the outside of Burial Soul Mountain, where they stopped their escape light at the mountain pass and began walking.

Pan Chengfeng understood the reason, but Nangong Tiansheng, who grew up in the Southern Continent, didn't know much about the habits of demonic beasts. After complaining for a while, he was taught a lesson by Xue You and then behaved himself.

Two-thirds of the land of the Southern Continent borders the sea, while the remaining land borders the three continents of the East, West, and North.

Both the Eastern and Northern states have Red Mountains, especially the Northern state, where almost half of the state borders the Red Mountains.

Due to geographical reasons, demonic beasts are rare in the Southern Continent, and many cultivators have never even seen one.

In his entire life, Nangong Tian had never seen as many demonic beasts as he had in the past year or so in the Holy Flame Realm.

Pan Chengfeng followed behind Xue You, his eyes fixed on her swaying, shapely buttocks. He did this for three days straight.

Although Xueyou did not use her divine sense or magic, the two were only a dozen meters apart. How could she not sense being stared at like that?

Unfortunately, every time she turned around, she was met with Pan Chengfeng, who was bowing and scraping and looking very obsequious.

Xueyou had never seen such a shameless scoundrel, but she was about to face that eighth-tier magical beast, so she could only tolerate it for the time being.

Pan Chengfeng, however, was thoroughly enjoying the view, and with a lewd grin, he muttered to himself, "Such a round, perky butt, it must feel amazing to touch it~"

Little did she know, Xueyou had already made up her mind that once she finished dealing with the monster, she would gouge out his eyes.

Pan Chengfeng was looking down at his buttocks when Xue You suddenly stopped and said softly, "We've arrived."

Nangong Tian's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "We've finally arrived! What kind of place is this? Since entering, there's been this unsettling atmosphere..."

“It’s demonic energy,” Xueyou said calmly. “Although the demonic energy in this beast’s body is already very thin, demonic energy and spiritual energy are naturally mutually repulsive, which is why you feel uncomfortable.”

Pan Chengfeng muttered to himself, "Why don't I feel any rejection? On the contrary, I feel a little comfortable?"

Xueyou continued, "A hundred miles ahead is the lair of the Emperor Soul Beast."

The demonic energy there is denser and more repulsive to cultivators. Since you haven't fought demonic beasts before, you'll just have to wait here.

With that, Xueyou got up on her own to go and fight the monster.

Pan Chengfeng quickly stopped her, saying, "Is Fairy Xueyou just going to go like this? Don't you need to make any preparations?"

Xue You said calmly, "What are you preparing? Although the Emperor Soul Beast has lost its intelligence, its instincts are still there."

No matter how well I hide, it will detect me if I get within ten thousand meters. It's better to approach openly and honestly.

After saying that, Xue You rode away in a flash of light.

Seeing that Xue You had actually flown over, Pan Chengfeng quickly grabbed Nangong Tiandao and said, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and hide!"

The two dodged quickly and found a rock about the size of a door to hide on.

Pan Chengfeng waved his hand, and a pale gray light enveloped the two of them.

After sensing this light, Nangong Tian asked in astonishment, "Is this your secret treasure that can isolate divine sense and perception?"

"Why didn't I see you take it out? Show it to me now."

As he spoke, Nangong Tian began to grope Pan Chengfeng's waist, chest, and bosom.

Pan Chengfeng slapped his hand and said angrily, "What are you touching? My pectoral muscles are only for beautiful women to touch!"

"Hurry up and show it to me!" Nangong Tian said impatiently, "There are only a handful of such rare treasures in the entire continent. Let me see them quickly."

Pan Chengfeng said with a look of disdain, "What are you talking about! This is my trump card for saving my life. How could I let outsiders show it to me so easily?!"

Nangong Tian angrily said, "You brat, when you keep calling me 'Big Brother,' why don't you treat me like an outsider?"

"You won't even let me take a look at the treasure? I just want to see it once!"

Pan Chengfeng said impatiently, "It really won't work. This treasure is quite intelligent. If you make it unhappy, it will run away on its own!"

"A spirit artifact?!" Nangong Tian exclaimed, "A treasure with a spirit artifact? Could it be a celestial treasure?!"

Pan Chengfeng chuckled and said, "Whether it's a celestial treasure or not, I don't know, but it definitely has a spirit."

Now Nangong Tian was even more agitated, and exclaimed excitedly, "I knew it! You could charge through millions of cultivators all by yourself without any problems. It turns out you have a magical treasure by your side!"

The Thunder Control Sect is truly generous!

Pan Chengfeng wore a smug smile, which made Nangong Tian even more eager to try his luck.

Nangong Tian was genuinely eager to see this rare treasure, so after a moment's thought, he smiled and asked, "Junior Brother Pan, what do you think of my sister?"

Pan Chengfeng's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself, "Have they seen through my plan?"

However, his expression remained unchanged as he said, "Why are you bringing up your sister? Isn't she engaged to Shang Jicheng?"

Upon hearing the name Shang Jicheng, Nangong Tian's smile vanished, and he snorted coldly, "What a load of rubbish! How dare he have improper thoughts about my sister!"

The news that Shang Jicheng had been scolded and beaten by Pan Chengfeng had already spread far and wide, even among people from other continents.

This is understandable. As the first heir of the second largest family in the Eastern Continent, how could the news of Shang Jicheng being humiliated and defeated in front of 700,000 to 800,000 cultivators not spread quickly?

Pan Chengfeng feigned concern and asked, "What's wrong? Shang Jicheng is certainly a good match for your sister, given his status, position, and abilities."

Nangong Tian sneered, "Still trying to pretend? Do you think I'm an idiot?!"

Pan Chengfeng's lips twitched slightly, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "What am I pretending for? What does it have to do with me?"

Nangong Tian said with a half-smile, "I felt something was off the first time you went to the Holy City."

Your attitude towards me has been inconsistent and vastly different, and you've inexplicably started clinging to me and trying to get close to me.

The most suspicious incident was the time when they fought in the manor. Although my younger sister was mischievous, she knew her limits and always ignored outsiders.

That day, she appeared in front of you without any pretense, and even asked you about the 'stealing of the child'.

You stammered and changed the subject, clearly afraid your sister would find out you bought a courtesan.

In addition, your lecture to Shang Jicheng could have been simple and straightforward, but you went to great lengths, resorting to both deception and humiliation. This reminded me of the conditions my little sister mentioned before I came here!

Seeing your forced composure now, I'm about 70-80% sure you and your sister have known each other for a long time, haven't you?!

Pan Chengfeng's eyes darted around in fright. He never expected that what he thought he had concealed so well would have so many flaws in Nangong Tian's eyes!

His eyes darted around, and Nangong Tian suddenly shouted, "That's right! That's exactly how you look! Where are you looking? Look me in the eye and answer me!"

Pan Chengfeng nearly surrendered after being rebuked, but he forced himself to say, "What nonsense! I don't know your sister at all. You're just making things up and trying to frame me and your sister!"

Nangong Tian was overjoyed to see Pan Chengfeng looking so timid.

He interlaced his fingers, rested his chin on them, and said, "Oh? If that's the case, then I'll just assume I misunderstood."

Shang Jicheng's reputation is ruined, and he's no longer a good match for Xiaomei, but that's alright, there are plenty of other men in the Shang family.

When I go back this time, I'll have my father discuss it with the business owners and choose another one from among their sons."

Pan Chengfeng's eyes twitched, and he said with a hostile expression, "Isn't Brother Nangong the one who loves your sister the most? Why would he push her into a fire pit?!"

Shang Jicheng scoffed, "Can an elder brother's affection be the same as a husband's? My sister will get married sooner or later, what's wrong with choosing a powerful family?"

Pan Chengfeng said with a gloomy face: "The Yu Lei Sect has long been aware of the matter between the merchants and your Zijin Mansion."

Do you think the business will get away with this? Don't let your sister be dragged into it!

"That's her fate!" Nangong Tian retorted. "Besides, this is a matter between my sister and my Zijin Mansion, why are you meddling in it?"

"I..." A loud bang was followed by a series of roars. Pan Chengfeng quickly put two more layers of spiritual clothing on the two of them, and then shrank back, saying, "Move over a bit, we'll talk about this later."
