The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 369: Order of the Sovereign

At noon, after a hearty lunch, Pan Chengfeng ran to find Shangguan Yun. Shangguan Yun has been very busy recently, with too many things to do in the sect. Although he has tried his best to delegate power and let the people below not bother him with matters that can be decided by him, many people still come to him for instructions when they encounter problems.

In Shangguan Yun's cave, Wang Lin, the outer sect elder of the Yulei Sect, came to Shangguan Yun early in the morning to report matters, and he talked a lot. Shangguan Yun rubbed his nose and said, "Wang Junior Brother, you can make your own decisions on these matters, and you don't need to report everything." Wang Lin said, "Sect Master, this is not a trivial matter. These disciples are going to follow us to participate in the grand event, you must review it."

Shangguan Yun said helplessly: "Okay, let me take a look." After taking the jade slip, Shangguan Yun checked it and asked: "Who will lead the team this time? It can't be Brother Qiu again, he is in seclusion." Wang Lin smiled and said: "I know, Brother Qiu was not arranged, but Yu Shuren Yu Palace Master has contacted his subordinates, and he hopes that he will lead the team this time. Also, in five years, there will be a three-sect competition, and Palace Master Yu hopes to be the chief referee."

Shangguan Yun put down the jade slip and frowned, saying, "This time it is held in our Yu Lei Sect, and the referee should also be our sect, but why is he suddenly concerned about these things?" Wang Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I didn't agree to him, but said I would ask the sect master before making a decision." Shangguan Yun pondered for a while and said, "The three sects competition is not a trivial matter. He has never served as a referee in the past, so don't make a fool of himself. Our sect still thinks that Elder Yan is more suitable. She is experienced, so it is more appropriate for her to be the referee this time." Wang Lin nodded and said, "I think so too, so I will reply to Palace Master Yu like this."

Shangguan Yun looked at the candidates for the leader and captain of the 'Continental Genius Festival' in the jade slip, and said with a turn of his eyes: "As for the leader and captain positions of the festival, we will talk about it after the three sects' competition is over." Wang Lin naturally did not object, and said with a cupped hand: "I also think it is too hasty to select them now, so I'd better think about it more~" Wang Lin wanted to report more things to Shangguan Yun, but a disciple outside came to report: "Sect Master, the direct disciple Pan Chengfeng is outside asking to see you."

Hearing that Pan Chengfeng was coming, Shangguan Yun's frown unconsciously relaxed and he said with a smile: "Chengfeng is here, let him in." Wang Lin had naturally heard of Pan Chengfeng's "big name", but had never seen him. Shangguan Yun smiled and said: "Junior Brother Wang, you don't know this disciple of Junior Brother Qiu, right?" Wang Lin smiled and said: "I haven't seen him, but this name is well-known~ In the sect, there must be few people who haven't heard of his name." Shangguan Yun smiled and said: "Chengfeng is young and energetic, and a little naughty, but his nature is not bad~"

As the two were talking, Pan Chengfeng had already strode into Shangguan Yun's cave, and bowed loudly to Shangguan Yun, "Disciple Pan Chengfeng, pays respect to the sect master." Then he bowed to Wang Lin and said, "Junior greets senior." Shangguan Yun smiled and said, "Chengfeng, this is the sect's outer sect elder, Elder Wang Lin.

Elder Wang is responsible for all matters related to the sect. Pan Chengfeng bowed and said, "Pan Chengfeng, your disciple, greets Elder Wang." Wang Lin supported him and said, "Nephew, you don't have to be polite. I have heard of your name for a long time." Pan Chengfeng scratched his head and said, "I am fooling around. Please forgive me, Elder." Wang Lin bowed to Shangguan Yun and said, "Since the sect master has something else to do, I will take my leave first."

After Wang Lin left, Pan Chengfeng hurriedly asked, "Uncle Yun, who is this? It seems that his strength is almost the same as that of our master." Shangguan Yun said indifferently, "His name is Wang Lin, the great elder of the outer sect of the Yu Lei Sect, and he has reached the late stage of the fusion realm. But he is very cunning. Okay, what do you want from our sect?" Seeing that Shangguan Yun was unwilling to say more, Pan Chengfeng started to talk about the trip.

Shangguan Yun said, "Junior Brother Geng has a rotation every hundred years in Jingxin Valley. It should be Elder Yan's turn. Now it is Junior Brother Geng's turn to be on duty in Jingxin Valley." "Junior Brother Geng?" Pan Chengfeng muttered, "Who is that? I don't think I've heard of him~" Shangguan Yun explained, "Junior Brother Geng only achieved a breakthrough ten years ago and just finished his retreat recently. The sect hasn't assigned him a position yet..." At this point, Shangguan Yun suddenly stopped, looked at Pan Chengfeng and said slowly, "He is Yu Sheren's direct disciple."

"Another person from the Yu family?!" Pan Chengfeng muttered, "No wonder that divine sense had bad intentions." Shangguan Yun said, "You have a point. If you need to practice the body-refining technique, go outside. But you can't not go to Junior Brother Feng's place! How about this, there is a place where I stayed when I was young in the hunting grounds. It's relatively hidden. I'll tell you the location, and you can go there to practice. Go to Junior Brother Feng's place to learn weapon-refining techniques during the day, and go back there to practice the body-refining technique at night."

Pan Chengfeng said in embarrassment: "I go alone? Well..." Shangguan Yun sighed and said: "Take Shuang'er with you. Remember, you are still in the initial stage of cultivation. It is better to postpone the matter of men and women until at least the Nascent Soul stage." "Nascent Soul? No need to transform into a spirit?" Pan Chengfeng said excitedly: "Master said that only after the transformation into a spirit, the role of Yuan Yang will be minimal, but Uncle Yun said that the Nascent Soul stage can... that?"

Shangguan Yun was not embarrassed when talking about this issue. He smiled and said, "If it were an ordinary person, he would naturally need to reach the Spiritual Transformation Realm. But you are different. You have a Savage Body. The mana in your body is automatically purified all the time. You know better than anyone how much stronger and purer your mana is than that of people of the same level. When you reach the Nascent Soul Realm, your Yuan Yang will not be of much use. This is why it is so much more difficult for you to advance than others."

Pan Chengfeng heard great news today. He originally thought that he had to wait until he reached the Spiritual Transformation stage before he could do that, but now he doesn't need to wait until he reaches the Nascent Soul stage. Shangguan Yun saw Pan Chengfeng so excited and quickly reminded him, "Shuang'er's Yuan Yin can be of great use to her..." Pan Chengfeng interrupted, "I have more than just Shuang'er... Anyway, Uncle Yun, don't worry, I know what's important. But isn't it a bit troublesome for me to run back and forth like this every day?"

Shangguan Yun waved his hand, and a purple-gold token flew towards Pan Chengfeng. Pan Chengfeng caught it with both hands, and quickly looked at it, asking: "Uncle Yun, what kind of token is this? There is a word "Order" on the front, and nothing on the back." Shangguan Yun said: "Use your spiritual sense to take a look~" Pan Chengfeng hurriedly did as he was told. When his spiritual sense probed into the token, he saw another Shangguan Yun sitting inside the token, wearing white clothes and with his eyes closed. Pan Chengfeng was startled and quickly withdrew his spiritual sense, and asked in surprise: "Is this the Sect Master's Order?!"

Shangguan Yun nodded and said, "One thousandth of our sect's soul is sealed inside. With this token, you can enter the sect without any obstacles, and you don't need to show your disciple ID card anymore." Shangguan Yun hadn't finished speaking yet. This token is also a symbol of the sect master's identity. With this token, Pan Chengfeng can be said to be the young master of the Yu Lei Sect! But this meaning has not yet been told to him.

Pan Chengfeng got the token and left happily. After Pan Chengfeng left, Xie Feng appeared in Shangguan Yun's cave again and said in surprise: "Junior brother, isn't it too early for you to give him this token now? Will this kid show off with the token everywhere?" Shangguan Yun said unhappily: "Why don't you come in every time? Does our sect still have some privacy?!" Xie Feng said indifferently: "What privacy do we have? Are you still hiding a woman from me?" Shangguan Yun said angrily: "You! Why don't you go into seclusion?! Junior brother Qiu has already started seclusion. It will take at least 20 to 30 years, or at most 50 to 60 years, to break through. Your cultivation is deeper than his. You can break through after more than ten years of seclusion. Why are you running around all day?!" Xie Feng said: "I'm preparing to go into seclusion, so I came to say hello to you~"

Shangguan Yun waved his hand and said, "I know, you should go back to seclusion." Xie Feng, Qiu Xiaotian, a senior brother, and a junior brother, all gave Shangguan Yun a headache. Qiu Xiaotian is not much to say, but Xie Feng is a big gossip. There is basically nothing Shangguan Yun doesn't know. When he was young, Shangguan Yun had a lot of girls, and Xie Feng liked to eavesdrop on him and ask about his affairs in this regard.

Xie Feng gossiped, "That boy just said he has more than one woman. I think he may have many women outside. Junior brother, is this the same as when you were young? Being affectionate everywhere~" Shangguan Yun said calmly, "Love between men and women is a common thing. Senior brother, you are not going to inquire about the disciples' affairs, right?" Xie Feng laughed and said, "I think this boy is a bit like you when you were young. Junior brother, is this the reason why you gave him the token? He has only been in the sect for ten years."

Shangguan Yun glanced at Xie Feng and said, "What does this have to do with the length of time? Look at the Yu family, how many of them grew up in the sect? Which one is on the side of the sect? A bunch of selfish villains!" Xie Feng nodded and said, "That's right, Chengfeng is not a bad guy, and he is scheming, and he is... Why do I feel more like you the more I talk about it?! Could he be the illegitimate child of you and some woman?" Shangguan Yun also laughed and said, "I wish he was my son, but it's a pity that I don't have that fate."
