The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 322: The Belonging of the Great Zhou

At the Hua family martial arts arena in Licheng, Qian'er came to Pan Chengfeng with a smile and said, "I won, does my husband have any reward?" Pan Chengfeng pinched Qian'er's pretty face and said, "We'll talk about the reward when we get back. Now let's sort out the affairs of the Great Zhou with the three sects first." Pan Chengfeng turned to Chu Xuanji and Tang Tong and said, "You two wait here, Qian'er and I will go and tell them about Brother Tang's proposal. Let's see if the three sects agree~" Tang Tong said confidently, "There's no reason for the three sects to disagree~"

Pan Chengfeng had to admire the scholar. Tang Tong's proposal was great. It solved many worries and was more comprehensive than he thought. The only drawback was that the income was reduced. It shouldn't be a big problem to persuade Qingxu Sect and Wuqing Sect. Now there is only Ziwei Sect left. It will probably take some effort to persuade Ziwei Sect. So the couple invited Mingxue over first. After a while of chattering, Mingxue smiled and said, "In fact, Ziwei Sect taking 30% was our sect's original goal. Now if we can get Qingxu Sect and Wuqing Sect to join together and share the future pressure, then our sect has no objection~"

In the evening, Pan Chengfeng notified the three sects to meet in the Hua family hall. The three sects knew that this was a handover, and although they were unwilling, the cultivators must keep their promises, otherwise it would be a matter of time before they would develop inner demons. Pan Chengfeng sat in the main seat and looked at the smiling Ming Xue, who nodded and said, "Everyone, we have already lost. Should we withdraw our people from Da Zhou and let the Zhong family take over?"

Leng Jun was straightforward and said calmly, "You don't need to remind us of these things. After we return, we will naturally hand over to the Zhong family." Lian Hongtao was very unwilling. He had almost stuffed the meat into his mouth, but now he had to give it to others. However, he did not dare to regret it. He said weakly, "Qingxu Sect will also hand over to the Zhong family and will not deliberately make trouble."

Pan Chengfeng said with a smile: "Are you guys unwilling to accept this? Such a big piece of fat meat was taken by our Zhong family alone. Isn't it aggrieved?" Lian Hongtao sneered: "The Zhong family is extremely powerful. The three sects are no match for them. What's the point of being unwilling? But in the future, the Zhong family must be careful of the cultivators from Chu and Yue. These two countries have long-standing grievances with our Great Zhou cultivation world, and their strength is not weak." Leng Jun also reminded: "Let's not talk about the cultivators from Chu. They are nothing special. I believe the Zhong family can handle them. But there is a sect in Yue. The Zhong family had better be more careful."

Ming Xue's face changed slightly, and she asked, "Master Leng, are you talking about the 'Blood Demon Sect' of Yue Kingdom?" Leng Jun nodded and said, "Although the Blood Demon Sect has not made any unusual movements in recent years, two hundred years ago, the old man Blood Demon was already at the peak of the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm. Our master took advantage of our skills and was slightly better than him. I don't know what he has been doing all these years. He has been unusually quiet." After hearing these things, Lian Hongtao instinctively said, "Our disciples have heard some news, but it has not been confirmed yet..." Leng Jun said, "Don't keep saying half and hiding the other half. Tell us first and let us judge together."

Lian Hongtao pondered for a while and said, "According to the news from our disciples, the ancestor of the Blood Demon Sect accidentally obtained a magical medicine a few years ago. It seems to have greatly helped him to advance to the late stage of the Void Refining Realm, so he has been in seclusion for these years to break through." Pan Chengfeng came to Lian Hongtao at some point, touched his smooth chin and said, "The magical medicine that can help Void Refining Realm cultivators advance must be the Seven-Leaf Wisteria Grass~ Strange, how could Yue Kingdom have Seven-Leaf Wisteria Grass?" Lian Hongtao said, "Yes, our sect thinks so too..."

Several people suddenly felt something was wrong and looked at Pan Chengfeng at the same time. Leng Jun was rarely embarrassed and said lightly: "We are used to it. We don't need to worry about these things in the future. I believe the Zhong family can do better than us~" Lian Hongtao also scratched his old face and felt a little embarrassed. Ming Xue smiled and said: "Yes, I have been worried for many years~ I am used to it."

Pan Chengfeng said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are experienced, please give the Zhong family some valuable suggestions~" Qian'er glared at Pan Chengfeng, stood up and said: "Masters, the Zhong family actually has a suggestion, and would like to ask the people present~" Pan Chengfeng continued: "Yes, the head of the Zhong family has a suggestion, you may as well listen to it~" Lian Hongtao rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "Is there any chance of a turnaround in this matter?"

Qian'er didn't beat around the bush and said with a smile: "I have considered this for a long time, and I feel that it is a bit reluctant to let the Zhong family take over the Great Zhou Kingdom now. I heard from Sister Ming that you had previously divided the Great Zhou Kingdom according to 4:3:3. But now the ownership of the Great Zhou Kingdom is in the hands of the Zhong family. Therefore, the Zhong family plans to give up part of the ownership of the Great Zhou Kingdom..." Before Qian'er finished speaking, Lian Hongtao stood up with a whoosh and said excitedly: "Are you serious, Master Zhong?" Even Leng Jun, who was always calm, clenched his fists in excitement.

Qian'er said seriously, "How could I joke about such a thing?" Mingxue knew about it early on. She looked at the silent Lengjun and Lian Hongtao and said, "I wonder how the Zhong family plans to distribute it? What are the conditions?" Qian'er glanced at Pan Chengfeng and saw him nod to her, so she said, "The Zhong family plans to distribute the Great Zhou Kingdom in a 3322 ratio, but the Zhong family wants to have absolute control over the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the term is tentatively set at 500 years. In addition, our Zhong family has taken a fancy to the Bi Bo Jue of the Lian Sect. The Wu Qing Jue of the Wu Qing Sect is also very popular with the Zhong family."

Lian Hongtao stood up in a flash, his face flushed. But in the end he didn't say anything, and slowly sat down again. Leng Jun was much calmer than him, and asked: "Master Zhong, why does your Zhong family need our sect's skills? Also, doesn't Ziwei Sect have any additional conditions?" Qian'er was about to speak, but Lian Hongtao, who had calmed down, snorted and said: "Master Leng, don't you understand yet? The distribution of 3322, one of the two threes belongs to Ziwei Sect! The two families have been wearing the same pants for a long time!"

Pan Chengfeng laughed and said, "Master Lian is really thoughtful. Yes, the Zhong family and Ziwei Sect had an agreement long ago. But the Zhong family won the fight by strength. You should thank Master Ming, otherwise, do you think you can get 20%?" Speaking of the fight, Lian Hongtao was speechless. He really lost. I thought I didn't have any crystal beads, but now I suddenly have one. People who haven't experienced this kind of ups and downs can't understand it. If I really want to tear my face with them, whether I can beat them or not is another matter, but the 20% will really be gone. Hundreds of millions of high-quality crystal beads a year~

The hall suddenly fell silent. Seeing that Lian Hongtao and Leng Jun didn't say anything, Qian'er asked, "Do you have any opinions? Five hundred years, if you count them all, your two sects have made a great profit. It's just a Lianxu technique, why are you reluctant to give it up?" Leng Jun said calmly, "Although Wuqing Jue is not a top-level technique, it was also left by the ancestor. Our sect will go back and report to Master." Lian Hongtao's Qingxu Sect is the largest, so he can make the final decision. However, Lian Hongtao kept clenching his fists and kept silent.

Just as Pan Chengfeng was about to ask, Lian Hongtao seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Okay! The Bi Bo Jue can be given to the Zhong family, but our sect also has a condition!" Pan Chengfeng secretly said, "Master Lian, just say it~" Lian Hongtao said, "The son of our sect has just broken through the Jindan stage. His physique is very suitable for practicing fire-attributed exercises. Unfortunately, the Qingxu Sect is not good at fire attributes. I hope that Master Zhong will accept him as a personal disciple!" Pan Chengfeng thought it was something else, isn't it just accepting an apprentice? Just about to agree. Qian'er interrupted, "Oh? Jindan, how old are you?" Lian Hongtao said, "Just 28 years old."

At the age of 28, the golden elixir is neither high nor low. Qian'er smiled and said, "I understand what Sect Master Lian means. You want the young master to learn my Golden Crow Sacred Art, right?" Lian Hongtao did not hide it and said generously, "Yes! The Golden Crow Sacred Art is the practice of the Devil Flame Madman. I have personally experienced its power. It's a pity that our sect cannot practice fire-attributed practices~" Qian'er did not refuse, but still reminded him, "I have said before that it is no problem to accept a disciple, but whether he can learn the Golden Crow Sacred Art depends on his luck."

Leng Jun realized it later and cursed inwardly: "Old fox! You are so eager to establish a relationship!" Unfortunately, he couldn't lose face, and he didn't have any children. He couldn't give his apprentice to someone else as an apprentice, right? Ming Xue said lazily: "Since we have agreed, let's go first. Sect Master Leng has to go back and report to Master~"
