The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 700 Asking for leave

Yu Lei Sect, Pan Chengfeng’s cave residence.

The practice of the Purple Thunder Tower will have to wait for ten days. After all, in order to open such a heaven-defying magical treasure, the Yu Lei Sect has to make some preparations.

After seeing Fan Wen off and the others returning to the cave, Qian'er also prepared to say goodbye to Pan Chengfeng, as she had to go back and keep an eye on Li Cheng's affairs.

This three-sect competition lasted seven months, and including Qian'er's journey back and forth, it has been nearly a year since she left Licheng.

Although you can use the communication talisman to contact directly if there is something, if you are too far away, you still can't react in time.

The land in Licheng is an important part of the Zhong family's next development, and it is also a precious land. The Zhong family must take it.

Pan Chengfeng also knew that Licheng needed Qian'er to keep an eye on it personally, and he himself wanted to go there too, but things here were not over yet, and the training in the Purple Thunder Tower could not be missed.

It takes 30 to 50 years for people to reach the Golden Core stage and the Nascent Soul stage. Even Xin'er and Li Ke, who went to the Dry Bone Realm, did not practice meditation and cultivation, but they reached the ninth level of the Golden Core stage.

Pan Chengfeng also used spirit stones to cultivate, and he only advanced four small levels. It takes fifty years to go from the seventh level of the golden elixir to the golden elixir perfection, and he still needs to use spirit stones to cultivate. How can this be justified?

The whereabouts of Uncle Niu also needs to be found out as soon as possible, but he really can't leave now. Shangguan Yun wants him to stay in seclusion in the sect for ten years to prepare for the mainland genius competition.

There are too many things to do, so they can only be dealt with one by one. Pan Chengfeng sorted out the things and said, "Qian'er should go back to Licheng, Dazhou first, find out the situation of that piece of land, and take it as soon as possible.

Take Shaqi and Shajiu with you as well and observe them carefully. If there is nothing unusual, give them the Poxu Dan.

Also, have someone go to Shangguo to recruit some Void-Refining cultivators. The Zhong family needs to gain a foothold in Licheng, so they still need some Void-Refining cultivators."

Qian'er wrote them down one by one and nodded, saying, "I understand. You should practice well. I will take care of the things outside. You don't have to worry."

Pan Chengfeng originally wanted to ask Qian'er to arrange someone to find out the background of Tiandao Sect, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up. It would be more reassuring if he went there in person to deal with Uncle Niu's matter.

After Pan Chengfeng sent Qian'er, Qing'er and others out of the sect, he did not return to the cave, nor did he go to find Shuang'er, but went directly to find Shangguan Yun.

Shangguan Yun’s cave residence.

Pan Chengfeng straightened his clothes at the door and said respectfully: "Pan Chengfeng, your disciple, requests to see the Sect Master~"

In the entire Yu Lei Sect, the only one who can see the Sect Master at any time as a disciple is Pan Chengfeng. Even if Shangguan Heng wants to see Shangguan Yun, it is not as "convenient" as Pan Chengfeng.

Shangguan Yun was meditating to heal his wounds. Hearing this, he said calmly, "Come in~"

Pan Chengfeng stepped into the cave and saw Shangguan Yun was finishing his practice. He hurriedly asked with concern, "Is Uncle Yun's injury not fully healed yet?" This was a small injury left over from the last time he helped Pan Chengfeng heal his wounds, but it was no longer a big deal.

Shangguan Yun exhaled a breath of foul air and said, "It's almost done. It will be well in half a year. Why did Chengfeng come to see me now? Is there something important?"

Pan Chengfeng hurriedly told Shangguan Yun the news he heard from Hei Kun. Shangguan Yun was surprised and said, "The news that Hei Kun got? Even the sect and the Shangguan family haven't found out. This Hei family is really not simple~"

Pan Chengfeng was also very surprised and asked, "I find it strange too, but after a little analysis, I think the news should be accurate."

Shangguan Yun nodded and said, “Senior Brother Changqing did have a son, and he was extremely talented, but unfortunately he died in the demon cave.

But he also has a grandson. Originally, the sect wanted to send disciples from Senior Brother Changqing's lineage to the sect for intensive training, but Senior Brother Changqing refused.

I didn’t pay attention to this matter afterwards, but I heard that his grandson disappeared after that.”

Pan Chengfeng stroked his chin and asked, "Did Yu Changqing's son die at the hands of the demons?"

Shangguan Yun nodded and said, "Yes, he died at the hands of the demons, and died miserably. His body could not be found. I heard that he fell into a trap set by the demons."

Pan Chengfeng tried to imagine it for a while, but there was not much information and he couldn't figure out anything, so he had to give up for the time being.

Shangguan Yun saw Pan Chengfeng was still thinking and chuckled, "Why? Are you looking for me just to confirm the matter of Senior Brother Changqing?"

Pan Chengfeng said hurriedly: "The main thing is to confirm this matter. I just think this matter is a bit coincidental. How come it was Yu Changqing's son who died?"

Shangguan Yun smiled and said, "There's nothing strange about it. Every year, some Void-Refining cultivators and even Healing Elders die in the Demon Cave, but the sect just doesn't report it."

Pan Chengfeng continued, "I know. I mean, isn't Yu Changqing very powerful? His son shouldn't be any worse. Logically speaking, it's unlikely that he would die easily.

And he was ambushed and killed. Isn't this stupid? If it were me, I would have to be much more stupid to step into the trap of the demon clan~"

Shangguan Yun didn't want to argue with Pan Chengfeng about this, and said calmly: "If you have nothing to do, go back and prepare. I will take you into the Purple Thunder Tower in ten days. This is a rare opportunity, you must seize it."

"Wait, there's one more thing." Pan Chengfeng said quickly, "Last time I talked about asking for leave, I've been thinking about it and I think one year is not enough. Can you give me another year?"

Shangguan Yunshuai's face fell. Pan Chengfeng always wanted to run outside. How could a cultivator practice well when he was entangled with so many mundane affairs?

Seeing Shangguan Yun closed his eyes and said nothing, Pan Chengfeng had to tell the truth: "Uncle Yun, it's not that I want to run away. You also know that before I came to the Yu Lei Sect, I had a body training master.

There has been no news of him since the disciple and the body-refining master separated more than ten years ago.

This time, I finally found out his whereabouts. I will feel uneasy if I don't go and confirm it."

"So that's what happened. We wrongly blamed him." Shangguan Yun opened his eyes and said, "In that case, we can't stop you. Wait for the Purple Thunder Tower to come out. We will give you two years. After you have dealt with all those things, you can return to the sect and retreat until the mainland genius competition."

Pan Chengfeng quickly knelt down on his knees and shouted, "Thank you Uncle Yun for your understanding. I promise to get a good score in the mainland genius competition."

Shangguan Yun nodded slightly, and finally said, "Don't think about the Yu family's affairs for now. Our sect will pay attention to She Jiancheng that Hei Kun mentioned."

Just as Pan Chengfeng left for a while, someone else came to see Shangguan Yun outside the cave: "Disciple Shangguan Heng, requesting to see the sect master."

Shangguan Yun smiled and said, "Heng'er is here, come in~"

Shangguan Heng straightened his clothes and walked in. Seeing Shangguan Yun sitting cross-legged, he immediately bowed and said, "Disciple greets the Sect Master~"

"Don't be so polite, we are just uncle and nephew here, just order whatever you want~" Shangguan Yun pushed a cushion to Shangguan Heng's feet, Shangguan Heng smiled and said: "Then nephew will not be polite to uncle~"
