The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 511 Intricacies

Deep in the black stone forest of the Bone Realm.

Of the hundreds of thousands of cultivators chasing Shangguan Heng, only 50,000 to 60,000 are left.

Situ Xian said with an unpleasant expression: "What is Shangguan Heng trying to do? He brought everyone to such a deep place. Isn't he afraid of encountering the Demon Lord?"

Uncle Gu checked the surrounding situation and explained: "Shangguan Heng knew that he was no match for so many cultivators, so he led everyone deeper into the cave. One reason was to reduce the number of opponents, and the other was that..."

At this point, Uncle Gu suddenly stopped and changed his voice to say, "Shangguan Heng may really be looking for a powerful monster. Young Master, we'd better be careful."

Situ Xian sneered and replied: "If he really dares to stop, no matter whether it is the Demon Lord or the Demon Plant, it will not be a match for so many cultivators!"

Uncle Gu sighed secretly. Situ Xian thought too highly of himself and could easily suffer losses, but he was not in a position to say it directly.

I can only remind him: "Shangguan Heng may want to use powerful monsters to contain us, and then use some geographical advantages to compete with us. You know, there are still five months left, and the time is up. Shangguan Heng's biggest goal may be to delay time."

Situ Xian didn't listen at all and said with a smile: "Uncle Gu, how could Shangguan Heng delay it for five months?"

Although what Situ Xian said made sense, we should always be prepared for the worst. What if Shangguan Heng really has a solution?

Another group of cultivators, led by Yu Qin and Ge Sihao, were not in much better condition, with only about 40,000 people left, and their experience was similar to that of Situ Xian.

More than 300,000 people came in, but now only about one-tenth is left, and almost all of them were killed by monsters and plants.

Ge Sihao, Ye Bufan, and Yu Qin walked side by side. Ge Sihao smiled grimly and said, "As expected of Shangguan Heng, he is decisive!"

Ye Bufan said calmly: "What's the big deal? Facing hundreds of thousands of cultivators, this choice is inevitable."

Yu Qin sneered, "This is Shangguan Heng's last rays of light. He won't live to see the exit open."

Ye Bufan: "..."

Ge Sihao said grimly: "I didn't expect that the Shangguan family and the Yu family of your Yu Lei Sect have reached this point. Is Fellow Daoist Yu planning to kill Shangguan Heng here?"

Yu Qin remained silent, but Yu Fu took over and said, "Brother Ge, how could we possibly kill Senior Brother Shangguan? It's just that the Yu family naturally wants to get a precious medicine like the Demon Companion Grass."

Ge Sihao chuckled and said, "Shangguan Heng got two demon-companion herbs. He can't keep this great opportunity to himself. How about we cooperate and each get one?"

Yu Qin looked at Ye Bufan and smiled, "I wonder what Senior Brother Ye means?"

Ye Bufan said coldly: "Don't involve me in your affairs. I am here to meet up with Shangguan Heng. Yu Qin, I advise you not to go too far!" Ye Bufan snorted coldly and left.

Yu Qin's eyes slowly turned cold, and he thought to himself, "You are just putting on airs. You want to die with Shangguan Heng? I won't stop you!"

Yu Fu saw Yu Qin’s expression and quickly sent a message: “Cousin, we can’t offend the Ye family for the time being, otherwise…” “I know, otherwise I would have dealt with him long ago!” Yu Qin said hatefully.

Now the relationships among the big families in the Yu Lei Sect are delicate. If we are not careful, the balance will be broken.

The head of the Ye family is the second elder of the Yu Lei Sect, Ye Tian, ​​who has the cultivation level of the late fusion stage.

Elder Ye Er and the outer sect elder Wang Lin have the same master, and their master is the junior brother of the previous leader of the Yu Lei Sect, Li Lao.

And their master died while trying to save Li Lao. Alas, the relationships in the big sects are so complicated that they are hard to sort out.

So it can be said that Elder Ye Tian is also Li Lao's man, and he has a sense of being aloof in the Yu Lei Sect.

But thousands of years later, Ye Tian is different from Wang Lin. Wang Lin was injured, and his cultivation level stopped at the late stage of fusion in this life. But Ye Tian has the opportunity to advance to the peak of fusion, or even Mahayana.

Therefore, in the past few hundred years, the Ye family, under the instigation of the Yu family, has become restless and wants to fight for power.

Ye Bufan came to the withered bone world, naturally, for the companion demon grass. If it were him, he would not hesitate to grab the precious medicine in Shangguan Heng's hand.

But now the disciples of the Yu Lei Sect were being besieged, and Ye Bufan, who was also a disciple of the Yu Lei Sect, really couldn't do anything to add insult to injury at this time.

Therefore, when Ye Bufan said before that he was here to meet up with Shangguan Heng, he was not just lying, but really intended to help Shangguan Heng.

The Ye family is different from the Yu family. The Yu family has already openly been fighting with the three friends of the Yu Lei Sect, but the person in charge of the Ye family is still wavering and doesn't know whose side to stand on.

Naturally, among these tens of thousands of cultivators, there were also disciples of the Yu Lei Sect who had received the news. Many of them came with the intention of helping Shangguan Heng, but some also wanted to compete for the Companion Demon Grass.

The sect is too big and there are many noble families. Who doesn’t want a Mahayana monk to appear in the family?

The leader before Li Lao was the successor to Wan Lao, and he was also a brilliant man. In order to change the current situation of Yu Lei Zong, he even lost his entire family.

From then on, no one dared to touch this "fire line" easily. When Li Lao was in power, he also wanted to change it, but he was powerless. The power of the aristocratic family was too great. No one could change it unless He Chaoran took action personally.

However, even if He Chaoran took action to solve the problem of the aristocratic families, the strength of the Yu Lei Sect would be greatly weakened. Not only would its position as the number one sect in Dongzhou be lost, but it would also be questionable whether the sect could continue.

All the sects, big and small, in the entire world of cultivating immortals have similar problems, but the problems of the Yu Lei Sect are more prominent.

After Ye Bufan left Yu Qin and Ge Sihao's team, he continued to move forward with the cultivators of the Ye family. There were not many people from their Ye family who came to the Withered Bone Realm this time, only two teams.

After more than a year of hard work, there are only twenty Void Refining cultivators left around him. The others have either died or disappeared.

Ye Bufan is very conflicted now. He wants to help Shangguan Heng, but the few people he has can't play a crucial role.

The servant behind him seemed to see Ye Bufan's contradiction and said in a voice transmission: "Young Master, there is actually no need for us to follow him like this..."

Ye Bufan stopped and waited to hear what the servant said next. The servant continued, "There are at least 100,000 cultivators now, most of whom are at the level of Refining Void. Even if the twenty of us go to help them, it won't make much sense. We might as well go back to the exit. Whoever gets the Demon Companion Grass must go back. We will then...let the young master decide whether to help or rob~"

Ye Bufan directly denied it, "If the Ghost Control Sect or the Beast Control Sect gets it, they don't have as many problems as our Thunder Control Sect. If they rush to the exit together, who are we going to stop? And who do we know to stop?"

What this means is that the entire Yugui Sect is almost entirely ruled by the Ge family.

The situation of the Beast Taming Sect is similar. The three ancestors gave the Demon Companion Grass to these people. No one in the sect would be like them and would fight for it among themselves.

Ye Bufan thought for a moment and continued, "What you said makes sense. Let's continue to follow and not get involved. Let's wait until we find out the situation first." After saying that, Ye Bufan sighed to himself. This was a helpless choice.

As the two were talking, one of them suddenly came to report, "Young Master, the people from the Beast Taming Sect have stopped ahead."
