Night.
The Dark Ghost branch in Yunze Town.
In a house with an oil lamp burning, Pang Jian put down a piece of broken earth fire stone and squinted his eyes to feel the newly formed "fire pool" in the spiritual sea.
"It's a pity that what fills the Spiritual Sea is not the filthy power of the Fifth Realm, otherwise the power of the Earth Flame Art would be enough to kill the strongest Marrow Cleansing Realm."
He sighed with a little regret.
In the City Lord's Mansion of Bagua City, the feat of killing Yuan Lengshan with three evil energy waterfalls relied on the thick and dirty alien power in the darkness.
He had tried it before, using the fire power in the "Flame Pool" mixed with spiritual power to explode, but the power was much inferior.
"call!"
With a sigh, he took out a bottle of level 2 ice armor beast's blood from his storage bag and drank it with a gulp.
After the beast's blood entered his stomach, a rich stream of qi, blood, and energy soon emerged from his intestines.
Pang Jian circulated his spiritual power, mixing this vigorous energy that could nourish his flesh and blood with his spiritual power, and transported it to his internal organs through the twelve main meridians.
In the marrow washing stage, although bone-cutting and marrow washing are the most critical, they belong to the initial stage, and strengthening the internal organs is considered the middle stage.
With abundant blood, flesh and essence energy, the internal organs can be given vigorous vitality and the lifespan of the practitioner can be increased.
"At this point, I should be able to live a long time and not die of old age too early."
Thinking of what Sun Bin had said, Pang Jian muttered to himself in self-mockery.
Half an hour later, Pang Jian absorbed all the blood and flesh essence contained in a bottle of level 2 ice crystal beast's blood.
“Not nearly enough.”
After taking out the six remaining bottles of beast blood from the storage ring and arranging them, Pang Jian couldn't help but shook his head.
Among the six bottles of beast blood, only one bottle came from a level two wind spirit beast, and the rest were from level one ferocious beasts.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, there was a strange sound of glass hitting wood in the wooden cabinet next to it.
Pang Jian was awakened from his deep thought, so he first opened the cabinet door and then took out the white jade porcelain bottle from behind the cloth ball.
The crystal jade-like lotus leaves of the "Crystal Snow Lotus" are now much fewer, and the miniature and beautiful figure of Luo Hongyan is just above it.
She gestured to Pang Jian, and Pang Jian unscrewed the cork, and a strong bloody smell immediately dissipated.
She did not leave the white jade porcelain bottle, but asked inside: "What did the dark ghost say?"
"I've been here for two days, and no one has summoned me yet."
Pang Jian told the truth.
"You haven't decided yet?"
Luo Hongyan, who was in the white jade porcelain bottle, hesitated for a moment and said with a frown, "Pour the six bottles of beast blood into the white jade porcelain bottle I have. Pang Jian, once I start, I can't stop."
"Um."
Without any hesitation, he poured all six bottles of blood of level one and level two ferocious beasts into the white jade porcelain bottle.
After he put six more bottles of beast blood into the white jade porcelain bottle that he had straightened, there was only a puddle of blood at the bottom of the bottle.
The "Crystal Snow Lotus" floated on the blood, using the remaining lotus leaves to absorb beast blood for Luo Hongyan to temper her crystal bones.
"Alas, I only have spiritual jade and spiritual stones, but it is difficult to buy even level 3 beast blood in the lower realm. This is also my mistake."
"Without the blood pool of the blood moon, I have to wash and purify the impurities in the beast blood in the bottle, which is really troublesome..."
Luo Hongyan sighed in distress and said, "I hope An Gui can make a decision soon, otherwise I'll have to trouble you to find a ferocious beast to kill for me in Qianli Yunze."
Pang Jian nodded.
"Someone is coming." Luo Hongyan suddenly realized something and whispered, "Put the cork back on the bottle and put me back where I was."
Pang Jian did as he was told. He put the white jade porcelain vase back into the cabinet, covered it with a cloth, and then closed the cabinet door.
"Brother Hong!"
Fan Liang called out softly from outside, and when he heard Pang Jian's response, he said, "Hall Master Meng wants to see you!"
“Here I come.”
Pang Jian walked out immediately.
"Hong Jian, let me briefly explain this to you."
As Fan Li walked, he said, "Five people came together, all of them are at the Marrow Cleansing Realm, two of them are hall masters..."
Pang Jian listened carefully.
He now knew about the Dark Ghost organization. Its leader was called the Chief, and under him were the nine hall masters, and under the hall masters were the deacons.
In Shattered Earth Heaven, the hall master was Hong Tai before and is now Meng Qiulan, both of them are in the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
Fan Liang, Ling Qing, and the deceased Xu Rui were all deacons under the hall master, and most of them had reached the Tongmai realm.
Further down are the ordinary Dark Ghost members, who are usually only at the Qi Refining stage.
"There are two hall masters, one is Yang Yuansen, the other is Zhao Ling..."
Pang Jian took note of it silently.
Under the guidance of Fan Liang, he soon came to a hall where there were no lights and gems were used as light sources.
Fan Liang, who brought him in, bowed respectfully to the people in the room and then left.
"Hong Jian, come to my side."
Meng Qiulan, who was walking on crutches, was inside the hall. She waved at him and Pang Jian walked over.
He also saw that in addition to Meng Qiulan from the Tianyun branch, there were five other strangers in the room.
Based on the information revealed by Fan Liang on the way, he looked at the five strangers and tried to match them with the two names.
"This is Hall Master Yang Yuansen, and this is Hall Master Zhao Ling."
Before he could figure it out, Meng Qiulan pointed at the two people and pointed out their identities, then pointed at Pang Jian and said, "He is Hong Tai's nephew, Hong Jian."
"Hey, Hongtai was also unlucky. He took people to the Cenji Mountains in Beiqi and caused Jinyang to die."
Yang Yuansen, who was muscular, had a big bald head, wore a loose long gown, and had a strange grin on his face:
"I heard that Jinyang is a big shot in the third world, and asked our leader to take care of him. The leader is having a headache now, and doesn't know how to explain to him. It's a good thing Hongtai is dead, otherwise the leader would definitely hold him accountable!"
Pang Jian glanced at him and found that Yang Yuansen was in his prime, with two old men standing behind him.
“Mr. Meng, you are already old, but I didn’t expect that this trip would be so big that you even dared to think of Blood Moon!”
Zhao Ling, who had a slender figure, was wearing a lavender dress. She stood against the pillar of the hall, her beautiful legs long and straight.
"We are all in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, and we all need high-level beast blood and meat, but you both know that it is easier for us to succeed if we ask the leader for other deals. Once high-level beast blood and meat are involved, the leader seems to be very embarrassed, and sometimes he simply doesn't respond to us." Meng Qiulan didn't talk about any greater righteousness, only about personal interests.
Zhao Ling sighed, "That's true. I prepared some spirit stones and wanted to exchange them with the leader for high-quality beast blood and meat, but the leader didn't reply to me."
Yang Yuansen snorted, "I don't know why, but it seems that it's hard for the leader to get the things from Blood Moon."
"Yes, so when I told you that we want to rob Blood Moon's hunting ship, the leader is also very interested." Meng Qiulan said.
At this time.
Zhao Ling glanced at Pang Jian, her eyes like two cold knives shooting at her, and said in a cold voice: "What we are talking about is confidential. Even if he is Hong Tai's nephew, he has no right to appear here and listen to our discussion of important matters!"
"Yeah, why did this guy come in?"
Yang Yuansen also shouted in dissatisfaction.
Meng Qiulan said calmly: "Like us, he is also in the Marrow Cleansing Stage."
After these words were spoken, Zhao Ling and Yang Yuansen were stunned for a moment, and then they began to look at Pang Jian seriously.
"We, the Dark Ghosts, have never seen such a young person in the Marrow Cleansing Stage."
Yang Yuansen stared at Pang Jian for a few more glances, then laughed strangely, "Mr. Meng, you now have a subordinate in the Marrow Cleansing Realm! Haha, Hong Tai is just average, I didn't expect he actually has a good nephew!"
Suddenly remembering something, he slapped his thigh and said, "Zhao Ling, he joined the Dark Ghosts and became our youngest Marrow Cleansing Realm! If I remember correctly, you were just twenty years old when you were promoted to the Marrow Cleansing Realm?"
Zhao Ling snorted coldly: "So what?"
"Hehe, not so good, not so good either." Yang Yuansen laughed dryly twice and said, "It's just that in the past few years, you have been using age to pressure us every day. I'm afraid you can't use age as an excuse in the future."
Seeing that the two were about to have an argument, Meng Qiulan said, "Let's talk about business!"
"Okay, let's get down to business! Mr. Meng, let me make it clear first, I agreed to join the gang for a reason!"
The bald Yang Yuansen screamed strangely, looked directly into Meng Qiulan's eyes, and said: "After the matter is completed, in addition to the normal distribution of materials, your pair of female disciples must belong to me! The three of us can be responsible for dealing with the person called Fei Zheng in Xueyue! If you don't agree to me on this matter, then you can find other halls for help, and I will withdraw directly!"
Meng Qiulan frowned.
"Mr. Meng, you know me well. I am just a playboy, but I will never do such cruel things. Besides, you and I are both in Dark Ghost. After they follow me, you will be able to see them often."
Yang Yuansen stood up, put his hands behind his back, and snorted, "If they are sent to the hands of Blood Moon's Jiuyuan, you should know better than me what their final fate will be."
When she heard the name "Jiuyuan", Meng Qiulan frowned even more.
Among the other halls of Dark Ghost, none of them could dispatch three people in the Marrow Washing Realm at once. Yang Yuansen himself was in the late stage of the Marrow Washing Realm, and his strength was the strongest among all the hall masters.
"Mr. Yang, is this all you can do? No wonder you are so old but your realm is stuck at the Marrow Cleansing Stage. Your mind is full of women. You deserve to stay in the lower realm forever!"
Zhao Ling crossed her straight beautiful legs, took out a street distribution map of Tianyun City, and said with disdain, lowering her head.
"Zhao Ling, hehe, if you are willing to be with me, let alone the pair of sisters, I can give up all the women I have now."
Yang Yuansen's lustful eyes lingered on the pair of slender legs under her tight skirt, and then looked at her plump breasts:
"My talent is average, but you, Zhao Ling, are truly extraordinary. If we can have a child, we will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the upper realm!"
Zhao Ling didn't even raise her head, looking at the map in her hand and sneering: "In my opinion, you and Hong Tai are both useless old things. Hong Tai was expelled by the Blood Moon a hundred years ago, and you only maintained your middle-aged form after you cultivated to the Marrow Cleansing Realm. Your actual age is over seventy."
"If I were your age, I would have long since left the Dark Ghosts and found a place in the Third Realm."
"You, Yang Yuansen, are you worthy of having a child with me?"
Zhao Ling sneered.
Yang Yuansen, who was attacked, laughed strangely twice with a deep expression on his face, and looked at Meng Qiulan fiercely, "Mr. Meng, what do you think?"
"I promise."
Meng Qiulan gritted her teeth and agreed to Yang Yuansen's request. Then she looked at Pang Jian helplessly and sighed.
Pang Jian remained silent.
He was in urgent need of high-level beast blood, and had no thoughts about the sisters Bai Wei and Bai Zhi, so naturally he would not argue about this matter.
Everyone immediately began to discuss the details. Pang Jian did not say anything, but just listened from the side.
He thus learned that there were a total of four people in the Marrow Cleansing Realm on the Blood Moon's hunting boat.
The strongest one is Fei Zheng, who kidnapped Bai Wei and her sisters. He is only one step away from the innate realm.
In addition to Blood Moon, Tianyun City's City Lord Shangguan Dong also has the cultivation level of Marrow Cleansing Realm.
After that there are several meridian opening states.
The discussion in the hall gradually became heated.
Yang Yuansen suggested waiting until the beast-catching "Wuding Ferry" left Tianyun City before taking action, thinking that with their strength, they would be able to kill all four Marrow Cleansing Realm masters and a group of Blood Moon Meridian Opening Realm masters.
Zhao Ling thought that they should start the action in Tianyun City, preferably while the four Xisui Realm cultivators were separated.
After raiding the mansion where the "Wuding Ferry" is docked, seizing the beast's blood and meat, and rescuing Bai Wei and Bai Zhi, they will leave immediately without having to fight to the death with Xueyue.
Tianyun City is very large, and it is easy to hide after escaping.
But outside Tianyun City, there is a vast wasteland that is not suitable for hiding at all.
"Hong Jian, what do you think?"
Meng Qiulan asked.
"Let's go to the city. If there is any danger inside the hunting ship that we are not aware of, it will be easier to evacuate in Tianyun City."
Pang Jian replied.
He didn't think that the Dark Ghost's men had really figured out everything, so he left a way out for the sake of caution.
Zhao Ling nodded slightly, looked at Pang Jian with a better look, and said, "You are more reliable than that old man Hong Tai. I once worked with Hong Tai and was almost killed by him!"
Only then did Pang Jian understand why this woman showed hostility when she first saw him.
"How about starting it in the city?"
Meng Qiulan then asked Yang Yuansen again.
"casual."
Yang Yuansen chuckled and said indifferently: "It's already done. I don't care whether it's inside or outside the city. When I think about the blood moon, I can't wait."
"Well, let's plan the details."
Meng Qiulan nodded.
