The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 790: Discussion in the Cave

Yu Lei Sect, Pan Chengfeng’s cave residence.

Uncle Niu paced back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back. Taoist Yu sat on the main seat in the living room, drinking the fragrant Qingsong he had found in the cave. He sipped and smacked his lips and said, "Don't walk around like that. You're making my eyes dizzy!"

Uncle Niu sighed and said, "I heard that the brat has been back for a few days, why hasn't he come yet? I don't know if he is injured..."

"Have a cup of tea, top-grade fragrant green pine, I've been craving it for a long time~" Taoist Yu poured a cup of tea for Uncle Niu and said, "Master, I think your cultivation is good enough, but your state of mind still needs to be trained. The person is back, even if he is really injured, with the recovery ability of a physical practitioner, he would have recovered long ago, why are you worrying about it here?"

Uncle Niu muttered, "It's been a few days since I came back, but I didn't even take the time to come and see us..."

Taoist Yu knocked his head against Uncle Niu's forehead and said angrily, "My dear disciple Sun, the elder of the sect was seriously injured because of him. He is now busy with this matter. It's okay if we can't help, but don't make things worse for him!"

Taoist Yu has been taking care of his body these days, and his cultivation has recovered to the third level of body refining, but this level of strength is just like tickling Uncle Niu.

However, Uncle Niu still pretended to be hurt, holding his forehead and said: "Master, you are much better now. You hit me so hard, ouch~"

Taoist Yu knew that his disciple was trying to coax him, so he chuckled and said, "You are still far from being able to flatter someone. Learn more from your good disciple~"

Taoist Yu was just about to continue teasing Uncle Niu when he suddenly heard the sound of a formation being activated from outside. Uncle Niu quickly arrived outside the cave and just in time saw Shuang'er helping Pan Chengfeng come back.

Pan Chengfeng had consumed a lot of energy these days to treat Yan Baifeng. In order to get back quickly, he had just used the Thunder Escape Technique, and now he felt a little weak.

When Pan Chengfeng saw Uncle Niu waiting for him at the door, he quickly pushed Shuang'er away, knelt on his knees, and said loudly: "Disciple Pan Chengfeng greets Master!" Then he kowtowed three times.

Uncle Niu's eyes were slightly red, and his right foot took a half step involuntarily, then he immediately retracted it, put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "You still remember to come back! Get up."

Pan Chengfeng stood up with some effort and pulled Shuang'er. Shuang'er finally reacted and quickly bowed and said, "Shuang'er greets Master."

Shuang'er had never seen Pan Chengfeng salute someone so solemnly, and she was a little slow to react.

Uncle Niu frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Who is this girl?" Pan Chengfeng introduced with a smile, "She is my disciple's confidante, her name is Shuang'er~" and then he briefly recounted how he got to know Shuang'er.

After listening to this, Uncle Niu sighed and said, "You are also a poor child. Go in. The master is still waiting for you."

Shuang'er helped Pan Chengfeng into the cave. Taoist Yu sat in the main seat in the living room, looking at Pan Chengfeng with a smile, then glanced at the beautiful girl next to Pan Chengfeng and nodded slightly.

Pan Chengfeng immediately knelt down and saluted: "I am your disciple Pan Chengfeng, and I pay my respects to you, Grandmaster! Your face is rosy and you look very imposing, which is a sign of good health. It seems that you will be able to 'take up your gun and mount your horse, and show your prowess' in a short while~"

Taoist Yu heard the double entendre, while Uncle Niu just smiled foolishly.

Taoist Yu's health had recovered a little, and he was not as thin as when they first met, but he was not as exaggerated as Pan Chengfeng said.

Taoist Yu said cheerfully, "It's only a matter of time before you can pick up your gun and mount your horse and show off your prowess. But for now, you still need to recuperate. Get up, my good disciple."

Uncle Niu smiled and said, "Master, I am here, why do I need you to fight the enemy~"

Taoist Yu's face darkened. Pan Chengfeng covered his mouth and laughed secretly, thinking: "Master is still like this. Didn't he hear what I said?"

Taoist Yu stood up and pointed to the door, saying, "Carry that huge rock outside on your back and run around the cave a thousand times! You are not allowed to eat today if you don't finish running!"

Pan Chengfeng's cave is not small. One circle is at least 600 to 700 meters, and one thousand circles are at least 600,000 to 700,000 meters. He also has to carry that huge stone weighing tens of thousands of kilograms...

Pan Chengfeng hurried forward, helped Taoist Yu sit down again, and advised: "Master, don't be angry, Master is just concerned about you, please don't punish him."

In fact, this punishment was nothing for Uncle Niu, who was at the sixth level of body training. He just had to run around the cave, which was embarrassing if someone saw him.

Taoist Yu snorted and sat down, saying, "I will listen to my good disciple and forgive him this time. He is so stupid and makes me angry just by looking at him!"

"Shuang'er, come here~" Pan Chengfeng introduced, "Master's name is Shuang'er, and she is my disciple's confidante. Shuang'er has taken care of my disciple's daily life over the years."

"Shuang'er greets Master." Shuang'er smiled sweetly and said, "I wish Master a speedy recovery and a long life~"

Taoist Yu stroked his beard and nodded, "She's a good girl, you have to treat her well. It's a pity that my storage ring was taken away by the traitor Xuan Yuanzi, so I can't give you a gift. Alas~"

Speaking of Xuan Yuanzi, the smile on Pan Chengfeng's face disappeared, and he said fiercely: "Sooner or later, I will teach him a lesson!"

Upon hearing this, Taoist Yu patted Pan Chengfeng's hand and said, "I have also heard about the matter of your sect's elder. Is she okay now?"

Pan Chengfeng replied: "My life has been saved temporarily, but the hope of recovery is slim. However, I will not give up!"

"So serious?!" Taoist Yu was surprised: "Doesn't the Yu Lei Sect have many combined cultivators? Are they all helpless?"

Pan Chengfeng sighed and said, "It's very serious. It's the soul that is injured. It can't be cured by ordinary means. If we hadn't invited the Medical Immortal Fan Wen, there would be no hope at all."

Taoist Yu sensed that Pan Chengfeng was not in the right mood, so he patted his hands and comforted him, "Don't blame yourself too much. Instead of blaming yourself, you might as well think of more solutions."

Pan Chengfeng nodded and said, "I understand, my disciple. Are you used to living here?"

Taoist Yu smiled and said, "I'm used to it. Sect Master Shangguan is also very kind to us and even came to see me once. I never thought that I would be able to meet Senior Shangguan in my lifetime."

Uncle Niu muttered, "It's good for us, but we don't have much freedom. We can only walk around nearby and they won't let us go far."

"Shut up!" Taoist Yu lectured, "How can a cultivator's place allow a body cultivator to wander around freely? It's already very good that they took us in and arranged for us to live in the cave of their good disciple."

Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "There are many places in the Yu Lei Sect where even disciples of our sect cannot pass without a token. It is for your own good not to let you run away."

Even though Pan Chengfeng can wander around the Yu Lei Sect freely by himself, that's because he is a direct disciple and has the support of the sect's big bosses. Except for He Chaoran's place, there is no place in the Yu Lei Sect that Pan Chengfeng cannot go.

But as for Pan Chengfeng himself, if you try it on someone else, even if it’s another disciple, if he dares to barge in recklessly, he will be caught and whipped by the Law Enforcement Hall in minutes.

Taoist Yu asked, "What are your plans next? Will you continue to practice in the Yu Lei Sect?"

Pan Chengfeng's mind was a little confused now. He had originally planned to retreat to break through, but Yan Baifeng's injury required finding a precious medicine. How could he retreat at ease? He shook his head and said, "I don't know now. Let's settle Master and Grandmaster first."

Uncle Niu immediately interrupted and said, "My master and I are planning to return to Tiandao Sect. Aren't you going to go back with us?"

Pan Chengfeng frowned and said, "I, your disciple, do not recommend that Master return to Tiandao Sect."

Taoist Yu was surprised and asked, "What's wrong? It has been there for more than 800 years, but Xuan Yuanzi never found it."

Pan Chengfeng sneered, "Xuan Yuanzi is a very cunning old dog. It has been more than 800 years. He may have discovered you. But seeing that you have not returned, he simply left you there and waited for you to fall into his trap."

After hearing this, Taoist Yu was also unsure. Pan Chengfeng was right. It had been more than 800 years, and it was very likely that they had been discovered by Xuan Yuanzi. If they just went back like this, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?

"What should we do?" Uncle Niu said anxiously, "We can't live here forever, right? We have to find a place to settle down."

Pan Chengfeng thought for a moment, then came up with an idea and said with a smile: "I can think of a good place~"
