The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 391: Ghost Control Sect Li Ke

Southwest of Dongzhou, this place is much poorer than other places in Dongzhou. This is mainly because there are four countries that are always at war, Yan, Mu, Xi, and Lin. The poorer the four countries are, the more they have to fight, and the more they fight, the poorer they become. It has become a vicious circle. The country is poor, and the people on the border are suffering. And this piece of land is the territory of the Yugui Sect, one of the three major sects in Dongzhou. The reason for choosing this place is not that the Yugui Sect is not as strong as the Yulei Sect and the Yushou Sect. It’s just that this land is more suitable for the Yugui Sect to survive and develop.

The Ghost Control Sect is located in the southwest of Dongzhou, in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave. The Thunder Control Sect and the Beast Control Sect both have their mountain gates on the mountain, while the Ghost Control Sect built its sect underground. The cave residence of Ge Xun, the leader of the Ghost Control Sect, is naturally deep underground. The yin energy here is very strong, let alone ordinary people, even Nascent Soul cultivators cannot stay in such an environment for long. The top leaders of the Ghost Control Sect were also discussing the matter of their sect's genius participating in the Withered Bone Realm in the main hall. A dozen elders of the sect argued, and Ge Xun pinched his nose in the main seat, closed his eyes and said nothing. An hour later, the chief elder of the inner sect of the Ghost Control Sect stood up and bowed, saying, "Sect Master, the Elders' Council has made a decision."

Ge Xun slowly opened his eyes and said grimly, "It's such a trivial matter, but you have to hold an elders' meeting. It's a waste of our time! Your decision is bullshit! We have already decided to let Ke'er go. He is our disciple. It's useless for all of you to object!" Ge Xun had already said it, but when the elders in the sect heard the news, they all came to Ge Xun to confirm. Ge Xun was annoyed by these people recently, so he was naturally not polite.

The inner sect elder of the Yugui Sect, Ge Li, was at the peak of the combined body and was one of the only two people with the highest cultivation in the Yugui Sect. The other one was naturally the Sect Master Ge Xun. He was already a semi-retired elder and was planning to give up his position to a young man. But after hearing the news, he took the initiative to stand up and persuade Ge Xun to take back his decision. Because in the sect, except for him, no one dared to disobey the Sect Master.

The Great Elder bowed and said, "Master, although Li Ke is your direct disciple, he is also the hope of the sect. In the past hundreds of thousands of years, the Yugui Sect has only encountered two people with the Xuanyin body, and Li Ke is the third. The first one was the ancestor of our Yugui Sect, so I won't say much about him. The second one fell in the Dry Bone Realm 30,000 years ago. Master, you won't forget it, right?"

The great elder Ge Li was the great grandfather of Ge Xun in terms of seniority, and was much older than Ge Xun. However, Ge Li had failed to achieve a Mahayana breakthrough ten thousand years ago. Fortunately, he had made sufficient preparations before the breakthrough and saved his life, but he had no hope of achieving Mahayana in this lifetime. That is why the position of the sect leader passed over Ge Li and was passed to Ge Xun.

Ge Xun could ignore anyone in the sect, except this person. He was not only his elder, but also a senior member of the sect. After hearing what the great elder said, Ge Xun said calmly: "Our sect naturally knows these things, but if we dare not let our disciples go to the Dry Bone Realm for training because of these things, let alone the other two sects, do you still respect your own sect?! Just like the Ten Thousand Beasts Body of the Beast Taming Sect? The three old guys of the Beast Taming Sect took such good care of the Ten Thousand Beasts Body, what's the use?! Our sect dares to guarantee that if we fight now, not to mention the Void Refining, even the Spiritual Transformation cultivator can kill her!"

Ge Xun looked at the silent crowd and said sternly, "Then take a look at the Savage Saint Body of the Thunder Control Sect! He is only at the Golden Core stage, but he can surpass his level and kill several Void Refining cultivators in one breath! Do you want Ke'er to become a waste like the Ten Thousand Beast Body of the Beast Control Sect? Or do you want Ke'er to become an existence like the Savage Body of the Thunder Control Sect? You know what? The Thunder Control Sect has never interfered with the growth of the Savage Saint Body. They didn't even give it any extra resources! This is what their ancestor told them personally."

When everyone heard this, they simply couldn't believe that the Yu Lei Sect would actually let a rare Savage Body talent like this. These were all what Ge Xun had learned from Shangguan Yun. Outsiders had no idea about these things. Upon hearing this, the Great Elder hesitated and asked an elder beside him, "Will the Savage Body Saint of the Yu Lei Sect also go to the Dry Bone Realm this time?" The elder bowed and said, "Reporting to the Great Elder, the news from the Yu Lei Sect confirms that the first direct disciple Pan Chengfeng, also known as the Savage Body Saint, will bring a team."

Ge Xun sneered, "Shangguan Yun said that the Savage Saint Body was even happier when he heard that he could go to the Withered Bone Realm! What about you? Ke'er hasn't even gone yet, but you all look so sad. What a joke! You have so many things to do in the sect, but you come to bother us all day long!"

The elder hesitated for a while and said, "How about this, let's ask Li Ke's opinion..." Ge Xun raised his hand to interrupt, "No need, Ke'er has been looking forward to going to the Bone Realm. After this retreat, he should be at the sixth level of the Golden Core and can control the Refining Void Ghost General!"

Yugui Sect, the cave of the direct disciple. The direct disciple Li Ke has been in seclusion for half a year. In order to break through the sixth level of the Golden Core and catch up with the journey to the Bone Realm, Li Ke has not left the cave for half a year. It turns out that Li Ke is still complacent about his Xuanyin body. Hearing that the cultivation of the Ten Thousand Beast Body and the Wilderness Body of the other two sects in Dongzhou is not as good as his, Li Ke is really happy for a while. Because the master told him that whether Yugui Sect can become the first sect in the future depends on him and these two people.

However, ever since Pan Chengfeng flattened a mountain with one strike at Nian Family Villa, and killed thousands of people, including three Void Refining cultivators, Li Ke no longer felt superior. Since then, he has been in seclusion, and he is very clear about the gap between himself and others. Although he only has the Golden Core cultivation, due to his special physique, he can tame ghosts that are two levels higher than him. Not to mention the same level, even if he is two levels higher, there may not be anyone who can match him. But, that Savage Saint Body actually killed the enemy by three levels higher! This is a big blow to Li Ke.

Ge Xun had been outside Li Ke's secret room for a while. He sensed that his disciple was about to break through, so he came here in advance to wait. After another hour, a loud noise came from the secret room, and Ge Xun rarely showed a smile, which was not much better than a grimace. However, this was the most friendly smile that Ge Xun thought of himself. Ge Xun smiled and said, "My disciple has broken through?" Black smoke gathered in front of him, and after a while, a pale but heroic boy appeared in front of Ge Xun, and bowed and said, "My disciple greets the master."

Ge Xun nodded and said, "Okay, the sixth level of Jindan is enough to tame the Ghost General! I will help you subdue the Ghost General~" Ge Xun bowed and said, "Thank you, Master..." "What? Is there anything else you want to say to Master?" No matter how high Ge Xun's cultivation level was, he could perceive even the slightest unnaturalness of Li Ke.

Li Ke hesitated for a moment and said, "Disciple wants to know, that Pan Chengfeng from the Yu Lei Sect..." Ge Xun sighed and said, "Master has told you a long time ago, don't care too much about that matter. He has a Savage Body, and it's common for him to fight against other levels..." "But disciple also has a Xuan Yin Body~" Li Ke knew that he had crossed the line, and hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Disciple is presumptuous, please punish me, Master." If it were any other disciple, Ge Xun would be interrupted by them while he was speaking, at least one of them would be beaten to a fist, and he would be guaranteed to lie down for a few months. But Ge Xun really liked this disciple, so he didn't care. He touched Li Ke's head and said, "Master doesn't blame you, and Master knows what you are thinking. Don't worry, practice well, and Master guarantees that he~is not your opponent even though they are both in the Mahayana stage!"

Pan Chengfeng, who was being talked about by both the Beast Taming Sect and the Ghost Taming Sect, was on his way back to the sect. His ears were itchy. Pan Chengfeng dug his ears and said, "So many people are talking about me! My ears are almost not my own anymore!!" Pan Chengfeng had been in Yancheng with Qian'er and Shuang'er for more than a month. He left Yancheng when he thought the time was almost up and returned to the sect in advance to prepare for the trip to the Dry Bone Realm. After all, it was a big dungeon. Although Pan Chengfeng had spiritual awareness, he didn't dare to be too careless. Besides, there were still two team members who had not yet been confirmed.
