The Devil's Tribulation

Outside the gate of the Yu Lei Sect in Dongzhou.

Two months ago, Qian'er received a message from Pan Chengfeng, instructing her to bring people to the Yu Lei Sect to receive a batch of Thunder Boats.

When Qian'er received the message, she was startled because not only were there a lot of these thunder boats, but there were also five large thunder boats that the Thunder Control Sect almost never sold to outsiders.

Every year, the Thunder Control Sect sells some Thunder Boats. The price is another matter, but the most important thing is the 'qualification' requirement.

Not all sects and families are qualified to purchase and use Thunder Boats.

For example, no matter how much money is offered, the Thunder Control Sect would never sell to a powerful family like the Zhong family.

Because the Zhong family simply doesn't have the 'qualification' to use a high-end product like the Leizhou.

As everyone knows, the Thunder Boat of the Thunder Control Sect is the best means of transportation in the Eastern Continent, not only because it is fast, but also because it is extremely safe.

Each Thunder Boat of the Thunder Control Sect has a serial number, and the purchaser is required to return for maintenance every ten years.

This regulation is mainly to prevent someone from dismantling and copying Leizhou. In ten years, even if you have time to dismantle it, you will definitely not have time to reassemble it.

Moreover, once a disassembled Thunder Boat is brought back for maintenance, the shipwrights of the Thunder Control Sect can detect the traces.

Therefore, although the Thunder Control Sect has been selling Thunder Boats for 100,000 years, no one has dared to counterfeit them so far.

Qian'er and her group had been waiting outside the mountain gate for three days when finally one of the disciples guarding the mountain came out to give them a reply.

The newcomer said arrogantly, "The head of Leizhou Workshop is not here. Please come back in a few days." With that, he turned to leave.

Qian'er's reaction was calm, but the person who came with her was not so good-tempered.

Zhong Wuyan stood up and called out to the mountain-guarding disciple who was about to return, "I am Zhong Wuyan of the Zhong family, and I pay my respects to the fellow Daoists of the Upper Sect."

The disciple guarding the mountain frowned, turned around and said impatiently, "I already said, the master is not here. What else do you want to do? Get out of here."

Zhong Wuyan suppressed her anger and said, "Since the person in charge is not here, why did you wait several days to inform us?"

The disciple guarding the mountain sneered, "What? Are you questioning me?" The disciple's aura pressed down on Zhong Wuyan, making her face turn red and her breath catch in her throat.

Qian'er flashed forward and stood in front of Zhong Wuyan, gently waving her jade hand to disperse the oppressive aura.

He then said in a cold tone, "My lord, since the person in charge is not here, we shall leave."

After saying that, Qian'er grabbed Zhong Wuyan's hand and, without giving her a chance to speak, took off in her escape light.

Behind her, Qing'er, Zhong Qiaoli, and several Nascent Soul cultivators from the Zhong family also left with Qian'er.

No sooner had Qian'er and her group left than the disciple guarding the mountain immediately picked up a communication talisman and sent it out.

His fellow disciples hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up, "Captain Lin, if we treat the Zhong family like this, what will happen to Pan..."

Team Leader Lin interrupted, "What? Scared?"

Team Leader Lin glanced at his team members and said, "You've all taken your share of the benefits from the Yu family. It's just a piece of cake anyway. Even if Pan Chengfeng comes back, he can't do anything to us."

That's what they say, but Pan Chengfeng's reputation in the sect is extraordinary. Even the Yu family can't do anything about him, let alone small fry like them.

Among these disciples guarding the mountain, Lin, the team leader, has the highest cultivation level, reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

There was also a vice-captain who was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the rest were members at the eighth or ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm.

People like that in the sect, Pan Chengfeng could take them all out with just a breath.

Seeing that the other team members still looked distracted, Team Leader Lin comforted them, "Don't worry, we're just following orders."

"It's because Deacon Yu doesn't want to see them. We're just passing on a message. If Pan Chengfeng really comes back to cause trouble, it will be Yu Shu's fault. What does it have to do with us?"

Hearing their captain say that, everyone felt a little relieved.

On the other side, Yu Shu, the steward of Leizhoufang, was talking to Yu Shuren. The two whispered to each other for a while, and finally Yu Shuren chuckled and said, "Just avoid them, and let's see what they can do!"

Yu Shu nodded and said, "Okay, nephew knows what to do. I'll set off now and stay for two or three years before coming back."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shuren was displeased and said, "No, don't come back until you receive my message. As long as you're not here, the Zhong family can dream of getting those Thunder Boats."

Yu Shu was taken aback and asked, "Not coming back? Then where will my nephew go?"

Yu Shuren smiled faintly and said, "You can visit any sect or go back to your family, just don't go back to your sect."

Yu Shu was shocked, but he managed to control his expression and asked, "Uncle, you wouldn't be after these Thunder Boats, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shuren coldly replied, "Don't ask questions about things you shouldn't know. Just do as I say."

Yu Shu trembled slightly, then hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying, "Nephew understands, I will listen to my uncle, I will listen to my uncle."

Inside the Thunder Boat Workshop of the Thunder Control Sect.

After leaving Yu Shuren's cave, Yu Shu returned to his office.

He had worked here for over a hundred years, and now he was being asked to leave like this; Yu Shu was truly unwilling.

He went to great lengths, spent a lot of money, and owed several favors to get this position.

Over the past hundred years, although he has amassed a considerable fortune, it still falls far short of his expectations.

Yu Shu was not a direct descendant of the Yu family, but a member of a collateral branch. However, he had good talent in cultivation, which caught the eye of the main family, and thus he received some training.

He worked very hard over the years and cultivated to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm with limited resources.

He also used some tricks, leveraging the reputation of the Yu family, to obtain the position of steward of Leizhoufang.

Taking advantage of this position, he has reaped many benefits over the years, and his cultivation level has also been raised to the late stage of the Void Refinement realm.

He originally thought things could continue like this, but he didn't expect things to change so quickly.

I thought it was just cooperating with the master to make things difficult for the Zhong family, but Yu Shuren's intention was clearly to swallow up the Zhong family's batch of thunder boats.

A deal worth three trillion low-grade spirit stones! Yu Shuren has a big enough backside, a big enough appetite, and the courage to swallow it all, but he wants Yu Shu to take the blame.

Moreover, judging from Yu Shuren's words, it seems that there are no arrangements made for him at all.

But what could he do? Yu Shu was just a nobody, while the other party was the head of the weapon refining hall, a powerful expert in the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, and also his elder. How could he dare to disobey?

Yu Shu tidied himself up casually and silently left the Thunder Control Sect.

As soon as Yu Shu left, Yu Shuren found out and muttered with a sneer, "You're smart. If you dare to disobey, I can kill you in no time."

"Who are you going to kill?" Yu Shuren was startled and quickly tried to appear calm, saying, "Why is my cousin here? Weren't you still consolidating your cultivation level?"

Yu Sheren said calmly, "That's about it. As long as I don't fight with anyone, my cultivation level will be completely stable in another two or three years."

Yu Sheren has been consolidating his cultivation over the years. He is now in the late stage of the Integration Realm, and is the highest-level cultivator in the family besides Yu Changqing.

Yu Shuren stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Then I, your younger brother, would like to offer my congratulations, cousin!"

Yu Sheren was in a good mood and sat down with a smile, asking, "You still haven't told me, which fool offended you this time?"

Yu Shuren's mind raced slightly, and he chuckled, "It's nothing, it's just that Yu Shu was a bit disobedient, and I just scolded him a few times."

"Yu Shu?" Yu Sheren thought for a moment before remembering who it was.

There was nothing he could do; there were too many family members. Even though Yu Sheren was powerful and had a good memory, he didn't really care about those who weren't direct descendants.

Yu Sheren didn't press further, and instead began to explain why he had come to see Yu Shuren: "I just received a message from Ancestor Changqing~"

Upon hearing that it was news from Ancestor Changqing, Yu Shuren hurriedly asked, "Oh? What did the Ancestor say? When can you emerge from seclusion?"

Yu Sheren laughed and said, "Ancestor Changqing said that the elixir is very good, and his injuries will heal very quickly. He will be fully recovered within ten years."

Yu Shuren was overjoyed and said, "Great! As long as Ancestor Changqing comes out of seclusion, let's see how long Shangguan Yun can be arrogant. And that little beast, let's see how I play him to death!"

Yu Sheren got up to return to his residence, but upon hearing the words "play him to death," he thought of Yu Shu again, frowned, and said, "Yu Shu has good talent and is worth cultivating. Don't go too far."

Yu Shuren quickly assured him, "Cousin, don't worry. He's still a member of the Yu family. I've already taught him a lesson and won't cause him any more trouble."

Yu Sheren nodded, took two steps, then stopped, turned around and warned, "I'm warning you, don't cause trouble during this time, or you'll regret it!"

Yu Shuren made repeated assurances before leaving.

Meanwhile, Qian'er and her group did not return to the Zhong family, but instead went to the market area of ​​the Yu Lei Sect's hunting grounds.
