The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 810 Growing up

Great Zhou Kingdom, outside Licheng.

"Thunder Dragon Technique: Tyrannosaurus Break" Mou Xuyou attacked with all his strength, and a nearly 1,500-meter-long silver thunder dragon emerged from the clouds and attacked Huang Liang who was still forming seals.

Huang Liang laughed and said, "Hahaha, you came at the right time. Fellow Daoist Mou really didn't let me down! Combined skill: Black Rock Shatter!" The man and the beast cooperated to deliver the strongest attack!

A giant dragon collided with a huge black rock in mid-air. With a bang, the rock dispersed and the dragon disappeared, and both were knocked back more than a hundred meters by the other.

Mou Xuyou, who was in a mess, pretended to be fine, stood up, patted his tattered clothes and said, "Nothing more than that~"

Huang Liang was in a much better situation than Mou Xuyou. At least his clothes were intact compared to Mou Xuyou. However, the collision also caused the magic power in his body to run wild.

Huang Liang countered calmly: "The Thunder Dragon Technique of the Yu Lei Sect is not as powerful as the rumors say."

Only the black leopard let out a wail and lay on the ground, unable to get up. Huang Liang saw this and hurried forward to check it out. He found that it was just over exhausted, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Xuyou flashed and came to the black-striped leopard, and asked with concern: "Is it okay?"

Huang Liang said angrily, "We said we were sparring, why are you using such a powerful technique?! Do you really want to kill me?!"

"Brother Liang, listen to me..." "Ten million top-grade crystal beads! Otherwise, this matter will not end!" Mou Xuyou exclaimed: "Ten million?! Are you here to blackmail me on purpose?"

Seeing Mou Xuyou's expression, Huang Liang suddenly laughed: "Haha~ I was just kidding you, look how scared you are~ Black Leopard, get up, stop playing dead!"

Seeing the black-striped leopard get up as if nothing had happened, Mu Xuyou licked his hand and said, "You, you, you..." He stuttered for a long time and finally said angrily, "You lied to me again!!"

Huang Liang smiled and said, "You are still the same as when you were a kid, so easy to trust others~ This time I have taught you a lesson, but you have to buy me a drink~"

Mou Xuyou said angrily, "No! If you want to drink, bring Jingzhu!" Huang Liang stepped forward, hooked his arm around Mou Xuyou's neck and said, "Don't give me that. I heard that the Zhong family's new wine has been sold out. Aren't you the son-in-law of the Zhong family? Hurry up and bring me a few pots to taste."

Mou Xuyou struggled to break free several times but failed, and said angrily: "If you lie to me again next time, we will no longer be brothers!"

"Haha, you're so serious~" Huang Liang said with a smile: "I'm afraid you'll be deceived by others, so I'm teaching you a lesson. Don't get close to others without beating them to death in the future."

The two of them walked towards Licheng arm in arm, talking and laughing.

Zhongjiabao in Licheng.

Some guests who came just to flatter and take advantage were arranged by Qian'er to sit in the hall and were entertained by Qing'er and Li Chu.

She and Zhong Wuyan were entertaining several Void-Refining cultivators in the VIP room.

Chu Xuanji of Wanbao Pavilion in Licheng, the three masters of the Great Zhou sects Ming Xue, Leng Jun, and Lian Hongtao, the patriarchs of the Ximen family and the Zheng family in Yancheng.

These people can be said to be the most trusted core figures of the Zhong family at present.

Zheng Qilong, the patriarch of the Zheng family in Yancheng, heard that the fighting outside the city was still going on, and said with some uneasiness: "Master Zhong, what are we doing here? Don't you care about the fight between Senior Mou and that guy?" Zheng Qilong asked the question that several people present wanted to ask.

Qian'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Mou will be back soon, we just need to wait."

Several people were very confused. That person was even more powerful than Mou Xuyu, and he also had a sixth-level spirit pet with him. Why could Qian'er be so calm?

After a while, the sound of fighting finally died down.

Mou Xuyu and Huang Liang appeared outside the VIP room together. Although their auras were a little unstable, they had changed their clothes and Huang Liang's pet had been put away.

When Qian'er saw someone coming, she quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "Li Qian'er greets Elder Huang and Senior Brother Mou."

Everyone followed suit and bowed. Huang Liang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You're welcome, you're welcome. Please take a seat~"

Mou Xuyou walked to his seat and sat down. Huang Liang also walked to sit next to Senior Brother Mou. Mou Xuyou was stunned and said angrily: "Your seat is over there, why do you have to squeeze with me?!"

Huang Liang said indifferently: "Your seat is so big, it's not crowded even if we sit together. What's wrong? Do you dislike me now? When we were kids, you would crawl into my bed in the middle of the night..."

Mou Xuyou was embarrassed and interrupted, "Okay, okay! Whatever you want!"

Seeing everyone's suspicious and strange faces, Mou Xuyou explained: "Huang Liang, he is my childhood friend, we are from the same village, and his house is next door to mine."

"So that's it~" everyone thought to themselves.

At this time, Huang Liang stood up, bowed to Qian'er and said: "Huang would like to thank the head of the Zhong family on behalf of Heitantou's parents~" Then he bowed.

Qian'er bowed in return and said, "I am sorry for the humiliation. What is this, Elder Huang?" Huang Liang said with a smile, "Before Black Charcoal's mother died, she entrusted this boy to me. I am also his elder brother. What I am most worried about is that this boy cannot find a wife.

The head of the Zhong family is willing to marry the daughter of the Zhong family to him, so Huang will naturally thank you on behalf of his parents~"

Mou Xuyou did not deny what Huang Liang said this time, which shows that what Huang Liang said was true.

But it's not easy to talk about this here, Qian'er chuckled and said, "This is too high for the Zhong family, let's talk while we eat."

A group of pretty young ladies came in one after another holding trays. This time they arranged sixth-grade beast meat and fine liquor, which was of much higher standard than what was outside.

After everyone ate and drank and chatted casually, Mou Xuyou suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Liang, why did you come to Da Zhou this time, and come to see me specially?"

Huang Liang put down his wine glass and said, "I accepted a mission from the sect to investigate the war between Zhou and Song to see if there is any shadow of a sect or family behind it."

Qian'er was slightly startled, but did not show it at all. After all, she knew about this in advance. She just didn't expect that the person investigating would be the person in front of her.

Logically speaking, for a small country like Zhou, it would be enough for the people who came to investigate to have the cultivation level of a god.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xuyou was also somewhat surprised and asked, "Why do we ask you to investigate this kind of thing? There are countless wars among mortals. If we investigate them all, wouldn't we be too busy? And we actually asked a Void Refining cultivator to investigate?!"

Huang Liang continued to pour himself a drink and said, "That's not the case. The sect never pays attention to the fights between mortals, but this time it's a little special~"

After finishing speaking, Huang Liang glanced at Qian'er and said, "This time, Master specifically asked me to take this mission. I didn't understand it at first, but now..."

Qian'er asked hurriedly, "Who is Senior Brother Huang's master?" Huang Liang said respectfully, "My master is Gu Jing, the acting leader of the Beast Taming Sect, and a great cultivator in the late stage of fusion."

Everyone was surprised, but Qian'er nodded secretly and said, "So Senior Brother Gu had already made arrangements."

After a while of eating and drinking, a group of dancers with Nascent Soul cultivation came in one after another. After bowing to everyone, they began to sing and dance. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

After eating, drinking and having fun, Qian'er began to talk about the Zhong family's next arrangements. Mou Xuyou and Huang Liang stood up and said goodbye, and then Chu Xuanji followed suit.

Seeing Chu Xuanji leave, Zhong Wuyan hurriedly said, "Qian'er, you can take charge of the rest. I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first."

Then he followed Chu Xuan Ji with brisk steps, and he didn't look tired at all.
