The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 143 The Zhong Family is in Trouble

In the east city of Fancheng, Pan Chengfeng finally came back, and his spiritual sense swept through the Xilinmen Inn. Pan Chengfeng frowned slightly, because there were more than just Qian'er and Shuang'er in the inn. There was actually a Yuanying cultivator and four Jindan cultivators. The Yuanying cultivator was talking to Qian'er, and the content made Pan Chengfeng angry! Pan Chengfeng walked into the inn with a gloomy face, and then went directly to the second floor and came to Qian'er's door. No one noticed that there was someone eavesdropping outside the door.

The person who came was none other than the second elder of the Zhong family, Zhong Xuhai. He was entrusted by the first elder to ask the head of the family to go back. What he said was quite nice: "The first elder knows that the head of the family is injured, please ask the head of the family to go back to the family to heal." It turned out that the second elder was a neutral faction in the Zhong family, relying on no one, and had been watching the fight from the mountain, intending to choose the most profitable opportunity to stand on the side. Now for some unknown reason, it is obvious that he has already stood on the side of the first elder. He said that he asked the head of the family to go back to heal, but in fact he had bad intentions. During this period, the situation in the Zhong family changed suddenly! The specific situation is complicated to say, but it is actually very simple! Now several Yuanying cultivators of the Zhong family are dead or escaped, including the ancestor, whose cultivation has been sealed and locked in a cell. The cause of the matter has to start from when the ancestor Zhong got a broken mirror pill.

A few days ago, the ancestor of the Zhong family won a Broken Mirror Pill at the Wanbao Pavilion in Qingxu Town. Not only did he get the pill, but he also offended Mu Chenri from the Seven Stars Academy. Although Mu Chenri is only an elder, his brother is the dean of the Seven Stars Academy. Usually, Mu Chenxu still loves his younger brother very much, so Mu Chenri is used to being arrogant in the Great Zhou Kingdom. This time, the elder brother also believed in the Broken Mirror Pill auction, so he directly gave a huge sum of money and let his younger brother bid for the Broken Mirror Pill. Who would have thought that this younger brother would waste 60 high-quality crystal beads just to fight for his pride, and also offended Chu Xuanji from the Wanbao Pavilion!

Chu Xuanji is not an ordinary Pavilion Master! He is the person in charge of Wanbao Pavilion of Dazhou, and the Grand Pavilion Master, the person in charge of Dongzhou of Wanbao Pavilion, also favors Chu Xuanji. It is said that the grandson of a shopkeeper under the Grand Pavilion Master committed a crime under Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji went directly to the Grand Pavilion Master to explain the reason. This shopkeeper has been with the Grand Pavilion Master for many years, but the Grand Pavilion Master still directly "exiled" him. The grandson was dealt with according to the rules of Wanbao Pavilion and was carried into the Dan furnace. He would be burned for a thousand days before he was burned to death! It can be seen that Chu Xuanji's status in Wanbao Pavilion is still very high, and the most important thing is that the Grand Pavilion Master is a combined power! The Seven Star Academy can't afford to provoke Wanbao Pavilion at all. What should I do? Pick the soft persimmon, and the Zhong family is the best punching bag.

So, with the tacit consent of the dean of the Seven Stars Academy, Mu Chenri came to trouble the Zhong family. First, he used courtesy and then force. Mu Chenri first asked the Zhong family for the Broken Mirror Pill, saying that he would buy it at a high price. In fact, it was a forced sale. The ancestor of the Zhong family had a family formation, so he was naturally not afraid of them and directly refused. After she broke through to the God Transformation, she would not be afraid of their Seven Stars Academy. Mu Chenri sneered, "Just wait and see!" Then he took his people away. Is it possible? Of course not. Mu Chenri found two other families in Fancheng that day, the Bai and Han families. The reward given was naturally that he would get the Broken Mirror Pill, and the assets of the Zhong family in Fancheng would be divided equally between the two families! They hit it off immediately. The Bai and Han families hated the Zhong family for many years. How could they let go of this opportunity that was delivered to their door?

So, Bai Cheng contacted the hidden man in the Zhong family. He asked the hidden man to contact the third elder of the Zhong family. But he couldn't get in touch with him. Bai Cheng had no choice but to ask the hidden man to contact the first elder. The first elder always thought that it was the third elder who contacted the Bai and Han families, and no one knew him. Who would have thought that the third elder had been contacting the Bai and Han families as the representative of the first elder of the Zhong family. Now that he couldn't contact the third elder of the Zhong family, he could only contact the first elder.

The elder scolded Zhong Tianxu's family. They were from the same family, but not necessarily from the same family. There were many branches and side branches of this family. The elder didn't want to go because he knew that the ancestor had obtained the Broken Mirror Pill and would soon break through to the God Transformation. If he continued to do these things, he would be easily exposed. However, the hidden man brought him a few words, which immediately changed the elder's mind! That was "Seven Star Academy". If it was just the Bai and Han families, the elder would not dare to fight, and with the Seven Star Academy, it would not be difficult for the elder to choose.

On a dark and windy night, the elder secretly went out to meet with Mu Chenri and Bai Han. It was not complicated and was quickly finalized. Several people worked together inside and outside. The elder shut down the family formation, and they prepared outside. As long as the formation was shut down, they would rush in and control the top leaders. In the end, they supported the elder to be the head of the Zhong family, and Mu Chenri from the Seven Star Academy got the Broken Mirror Pill. The elder also gave some of the Zhong family's assets to the Bai Han family. Everyone benefited, and the only one who suffered was the Zhong family. The poor elder, who had lived for hundreds of years, was also blinded by hatred and power!

After choosing a good day, the Great Elder sent away the disciples who were guarding the formation. After the formation was shut down, the nightmare of the Zhong family began. More than 20 Yuanying cultivators were watching from outside, and when they saw the Zhong family formation shut down, Mu Chenri was overjoyed and rushed in with his men. Those who dared to resist were immediately wiped out. Five Yuanying cultivators who had reached the Great Perfection stage rushed directly to the ancestor of the Zhong family and captured Aunt Zhong in a few moves. Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhong Qing'er immediately used the magic talisman given by her sister to run away. The fourth elder, the fifth elder, and the sixth elder all died in the battle, the third elder was missing, the second elder surrendered, and the Great Elder had betrayed the revolution long ago. More than Jindan cultivators were also captured, and the foundation-building and Qi-training disciples were ordered to stay in the cave and not go out. In this way, it didn't take long for the middle and high-level leaders of the Zhong family to be wiped out by external forces. Everyone felt that the Zhong family was finished!

After Li Qing'er escaped from the Zhong family, she fled to Fancheng for refuge. The monks dare not take action in places where mortals gather. The aftermath of the spell alone will kill a lot of mortals. Fancheng has tens of millions of people. It is not a small town or a small mountain village. If a large number of mortals die, the Seven Star Academy cannot bear the responsibility. Therefore, if you want to escape the monks' pursuit, the best way is to hide in a densely populated city. Even if you are found, the enemy dare not take action.

Li Qian'er didn't know about the disaster of the Zhong family. She was worried that Aunt Zhong would need the crystal beads to break through to the spirit transformation. So she sent a message back to tell Aunt Zhong that she was at the Xilinmen Inn in Fancheng. She told Aunt Zhong to come to the inn to find her if she needed the crystal beads. Qian'er never thought that Aunt Zhong had been controlled and the communication talisman was obtained by the eldest elder. The eldest elder knew that Li Qian'er was in the Fancheng Inn, so he asked the second elder to bring a few rebellious Jindan monks to the Fancheng Inn to trick Li Qian'er back. But Li Qian'er did not receive a reply from Aunt Zhong, and did not dare to believe the second elder easily. Especially when she was so weak now, Li Qian'er did not dare to go back.

The second elder said earnestly: "Master, during your absence, many changes have occurred in the family. Please go back as soon as possible to take charge of the situation." Li Qian'er said indifferently: "Why didn't Qing'er come to find me? And why didn't Aunt Zhong report back to me?" The second elder said: "The ancestor is at the critical moment of death and making final preparations for the impact of the spirit transformation. The seventh elder is protecting the ancestor and cannot get away." Li Qian'er frowned: "Where is the fourth elder? The fifth and sixth elders are back, right? Aunt Zhong hasn't started the impact of the spirit transformation yet, so she doesn't need so many Yuanying monks to protect her, right?"

The second elder was secretly worried: "Why is Li Qian'er so cautious? Is she really seriously injured? If she doesn't want to go with me, should I take the risk?" After all, the family head's usual prestige is still there, and the second elder did not dare to take risks easily. He continued to deceive: "The news that the ancestor got the Broken Mirror Pill has been known by many forces. Now the family is in danger, but the family head is not here. How can we gather people's hearts to resist foreign enemies? Now it's not just the Bai and Han families who are forcing. A few days ago, people from the Seven Stars Academy also came to the Zhong family. If it weren't for the formation blocking it, the Zhong family would have been gone!" After hearing what the second elder said, Li Qian'er couldn't sit still. The Zhong family was built up by her hard work for so many years. If it was really destroyed by those forces, all her efforts in the first half of her life would be in vain.

Li Qian'er pondered for a while, and finally decided to go back to the family to take charge. As long as she didn't fight with anyone, acted as a lucky doll, and gathered the hearts of the family, she could still do it. Just as Li Qian'er was about to speak, the door was pushed open. Pan Chengfeng completely ignored everyone except the two women, walked directly in front of Qian'er and Shuang'er, opened his arms and said: "I'm back, big and small wives, did you miss me?" Shuang'er was not reserved at all, and threw herself into Pan Chengfeng's arms, sobbing: "Master, you are finally back. Shuang'er has been worried these days and couldn't eat." After sobbing a few times, he added: "Sister Qian'er is the same."

Seeing that Li Qian'er didn't throw herself into his arms, Pan Chengfeng just looked at Shuang'er with a face full of shame and anger, and blamed her: "Shuang'er, don't talk nonsense! When did I become like that?" The second elder of the Zhong family and several Jindan cultivators beside him looked incredulous. Is this their patriarch? Is this the woman who is usually dignified, serious and sharp? Now she is acting like a little girl?

It can only be said that there is always something that can defeat something else. When everyone was still in shock, Pan Chengfeng let go of Shuang'er and hugged Qian'er directly, saying softly: "I'm back, I can take care of anything." Qian'er's pretty face flushed, and she said hurriedly: "Let me go, and..." Qian'er hurriedly tried to push Pan Chengfeng away, but how could she push Pan Chengfeng away with her strength? Pan Chengfeng said cheerfully: "And the Zhong family, right? What are you afraid of? It's only a matter of time!"

Pan Chengfeng put his arm around Qian'er's shoulders, turned around and said to the second elder: "Go back and tell the first elder that Qian'er will be back in a few days. You don't have to wait here. Go back~" After saying that, he waved his hand like he was shooing away a fly. The second elder hadn't noticed it before, but now when he saw Pan Chengfeng, he realized that he was actually a little Karami at the first level of foundation building! He immediately showed a ferocious look on his face and said: "Where did you come from, you stinky boy! How dare you be rude to the head of the family! Take your dirty hands away!"
