The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 709 To add fuel to the fire

Licheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wanbao Pavilion.

After Qian'er took Qing'er and Zhou Ru away from Yu Lei Sect, they traveled for a month and finally returned.

The Zhong family has no place to stay in Licheng now, so they can only stay in Wanbao Pavilion temporarily.

Chu Xuan Ji has begun to retreat and break through. This breakthrough is crucial for Chu Xuan Ji.

If Licheng Wanbao Pavilion wants to move up a level, performance and territory alone are not enough. The Pavilion Master must also have a cultivation level of at least the Refining Void Realm.

If Chu Xuan Ji fails to break through, then the throne of the leader of Licheng Wanbao Pavilion will have to be handed over to someone else.

However, Chu Xuan Ji is full of confidence that a breakthrough is a foregone conclusion. He has been in seclusion for more than half a year now, and Chu Xuan Ji himself estimates that it will not take more than two years at most, and there is a high probability that he will be able to break through within one year.

Now Wanbao Pavilion is temporarily managed by Qiu Niang, and Ji Mo cooperates with her. These two people are Chu Xuanji's absolute confidants in Licheng Wanbao Pavilion.

The Zhong family has its own exclusive guest rooms in each Wanbao Pavilion branch in the Great Zhou Kingdom, so when Qian'er arrived, she just greeted Qiu Niang and went to the guest room on her own.

After Qing'er and Zhou Ru left, Qian'er just sat down when a dark figure slowly appeared in front of her and bowed, saying, "Hong Renjie greets Madam."

Qian'er nodded slightly and asked, "Has the Loose Cultivator Alliance and the Aristocratic Family Alliance made any unusual moves recently?"

Hong Renjie replied: “Five days ago, the leader of the Aristocratic Family Alliance, Miao Yonghe, secretly left the city to meet someone.

I have determined that the man is from the Beast Taming Sect. I don’t dare to follow him, but he is quite powerful and from the Beast Taming Sect. I…”

Qian'er was surprised and asked, "A member of the Beast Taming Sect? How did you determine that?" Hong Renjie replied, "I'm not sure, but that person is wearing the uniform of an outer sect elder of the Beast Taming Sect. I'm sure I won't mistake this clothing."

"How come it's related to the Beast Taming Sect again?" Qian'er muttered, "If that's the case, we really can't act rashly."

Qian'er looked at Hong Renjie and asked, "Is there no movement from Wang Lisheng of the Loose Cultivator Alliance?"

Hong Renjie has been very busy recently. He has to keep an eye on several people alone, running from east to west and from west to east. He is really exhausted.

But most of the spies that the Zhong family has trained now are at the Jindan level. Asking them to keep an eye on the great perfection cultivators of the Spiritualization Realm is no different from asking them to die. So Hong Renjie can only work hard for a while.

Hong Renjie replied: "Yes! Wang Lisheng has been exchanging spirit stones. According to statistics from the black market, he has exchanged at least 30,000 crystal beads of low-grade spirit stones.

Moreover, half a month ago, Wang Lisheng and Miao Yonghe had another quarrel, apparently because of the Poxudan. Later, Miao Yonghe was afraid that the noise would attract other people's attention, so he took Wang Lisheng to the secret room. "

"Half a month ago? Void-breaking Pill?" Qian'er thought for a moment and said, "Didn't the three sects' competition just end half a month ago?"

Insufficient information, Qian'er couldn't figure out why they were quarreling, but Hong Renjie congratulated her: "I haven't congratulated Madam yet, the young master is really amazing, he actually won the championship in the three sects competition~"

Qian'er also laughed happily and said, "Yes, I didn't expect him to stand out among so many masters.

By the way, I brought Sha Qi and Sha Jiu with me this time. Please assign tasks to them and make sure to keep a close eye on those key figures~"

Hearing that help had finally arrived, Hong Renjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Madam, don't worry. With the help of these two, I guarantee that no matter whether it is the Loose Cultivator Alliance or the Aristocratic Family Alliance, their every move will definitely not escape our eyes."

Qian'er nodded and instructed: "Next time, if the person who looks like the outer sect elder of the Beast Taming Sect appears again, you should follow him. You don't have to follow too closely, just make sure he is going back to the Beast Taming Sect."

This involves the Beast Taming Sect, so Qian'er has to be careful. She has to first confirm that the man is the Beast Taming Sect's outer sect leader. A piece of clothing alone is not enough.

The Beast Taming Sect is a behemoth. If it is really related to someone from the Beast Taming Sect, Qian'er would not dare to make a decision on her own and could only wait for Pan Chengfeng to come out of seclusion.

Hong Renjie bowed and retreated. Qian'er thought for a moment and said lightly: "Zhou Ru~"

Zhou Ru is now a bit like Qian'er's personal maid. She is always by Qian'er's side. Even if she is not by her side, she is definitely not far away.

Zhou Ru appeared in front of him in a flash. He bowed slightly and asked, "Master, what do you want to see Zhou Ru for?"

Qian'er said, "Please ask Wang Lisheng if he wants to sell the land. The price can still be negotiated. Also, tell him that the Zhong family has the Poxu Pill.

Remember, I want you to go secretly, but you have to be seen by others. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhou Ru was slightly stunned, then she understood and nodded, "Don't worry, Patriarch, Zhou Ru knows what to do."

Zhou Ru also withdrew. Qian'er murmured to herself, "Since you are so noisy, I will add more fuel to the fire and see what comes out of it!"

Loose Cultivator Alliance, inside Wang Lisheng’s room.

Wang Lisheng was drinking alone, feeling extremely depressed.

A few days ago, Wang Lisheng heard that the three sects competition had ended for more than half a month, so he ran to Miao Yonghe to ask for the Poxu Pill, but Miao Yonghe asked him to wait!

Wang Lisheng, who couldn't control his emotions, started arguing with Miao Yonghe on the spot, and even threatened Miao Yonghe that he would have a showdown with the Zhong family soon.

Miao Yonghe was really afraid of him, so he gave him another 10,000 low-grade spirit stones and sent Wang Lisheng back.

Why was Wang Lisheng so anxious? Because he really didn't have much time left.

I originally thought that I could exchange the spirit stones for some high-level elixirs to heal my wounds, and my physical condition would improve.

But although he bought the pills and took them, his physical condition was not as he expected. Instead, another problem was highlighted.

As a cultivator, Wang Lisheng had his own feelings, but he still found the best doctor in Licheng to give him a comprehensive examination.

The result was just as Wang Lisheng had thought. His body had been overdrawn and his life span was almost over. According to the doctor, "If he takes good care of himself, he should be able to live another 100 to 80 years."

As a casual cultivator, Wang Lisheng often fought with others, and suffered a lot of internal and external injuries. In addition, he was getting older and older, and he could no longer control himself.

Thinking of this, Wang Lisheng smashed the wine glass in his hand with a snap and said fiercely: "Miao Yonghe! You deceived me again and again! Do you really think that I dare not fight to the death?!"

Thinking that the dead energy in his body could no longer be suppressed, and that the doctor had also told him to rest and recuperate, Wang Lisheng took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "As long as I have the Void Breaking Pill, I still have a 70% chance of breaking through. If I delay any further, I won't even have a 50% chance!!

Miao Yonghe, you'd better keep your word this time. I'll give you one more year at most! Otherwise..." Originally, Wang Lisheng thought he still had three or four hundred years to live, so he didn't push Miao Yonghe too hard. Now that he only had a few decades left to live, Wang Lisheng was ready to risk it all.

"Alliance leader... there's a mysterious person outside looking for you." The servant came to report. Wang Lisheng was in a bad mood and said impatiently: "Didn't I tell you that I'm going to be in seclusion recently, so don't bother me!"

The servant trembled and said, "She said something very important. I will send her away now..."

As the servant turned around, Wang Lisheng suddenly shouted, "Wait! Did you say mysterious man? What's going on?"

The servant replied, "She was wearing a felt hat, which can block spiritual awareness, but judging from her figure and voice, she is a woman. She said she has something important to discuss with the leader."

Wang Lisheng thought about it and couldn't remember if he knew such a woman.

After thinking for a while, Wang Lisheng ordered, "Take her to the back hall. I'll be there in a moment."
