"Hong Jian hasn't shown up yet."
Meng Qiulan looked calm as she looked at the angry Yang Yuansen and said calmly, "The deaths of your two capable men, including the fact that you were hunted down by the two families, were caused by your own carelessness. Don't blame us."
After a pause, she continued, "You guys didn't contribute much to the looting of the beast-catching ship, so my previous promise is naturally invalid."
Yang Yuansen snorted twice before preparing to speak.
Zhao Ling was playing with a gem-like jade in his hand, with a sneer on his face. He suddenly said, "Old Yang, to be honest, if Hong Jian is really here, you may not be his opponent."
Wu Yi also said: "It's strange, this agreed location was what we had planned before, but he didn't come."
The three people in the Marrow Cleansing Realm spoke one after another, as if forming an alliance, making Yang Yuansen's face even gloomier.
He suppressed his inner fury, and his eyes suddenly fell on the graceful sisters behind Meng Qiulan. He said, "Mr. Meng, I don't want the beast blood, beast meat, and spiritual stones and jade you captured."
"But you promised me to give me these two girls! It was because of them that I came to the Heavenly Fate Shattered Land. They must come with me as compensation for the loss of my two Marrow Cleansing Realm generals!"
He was heartbroken over the deaths of his two subordinates in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, but he also knew that it was unrealistic to ask for the gains from Meng Qiulan and Zhao Ling, so he set his sights on the Bai Wei sisters.
"Master..."
The two sisters, Bai Wei and Bai Zhi, huddled behind Meng Qiulan, shaking their heads repeatedly as if they were about to cry.
Even though Pang Jian did not take them away on the hunting boat, they still identified with Pang Jian even more.
Especially after learning that it was Pang Jian who successfully persuaded Meng Qiulan and Zhao Ling, and took on the heavy responsibility of killing Fei Zheng, which facilitated this action.
They felt a deeper sense of identification with Pang Jian.
The scene in Instrumental Music Street where the armed boy fought Fei Zheng has long been deeply engraved in the hearts of the two girls.
In their eyes, Pang Jian was the ray of hope that saved them from the misery and saved them from the misery of being slaughtered by Jiu Yuan.
"I'm sorry, I've already promised Hong Jian. When Hong Jian shows up, I will hand them over to him."
Meng Qiulan shook her head, ignoring Yang Yuansen's anger, and continued: "We did gain a lot from this operation. There are 200 pieces of spiritual jade alone, nearly 7,000 spiritual stones with pure spiritual power, and the blood and flesh of many first- and second-level beasts. The leader is very satisfied with us..."
Hearing the word "leader", Yang Yuansen, who was about to explode, calmed down.
"What makes the leader even more satisfied is that I have absorbed Hong Jian and made him a member of our Dark Ghosts."
Meng Qiulan raised the crutch with her hand and poked the ground gently, saying, "The leader wants me to give up the position of the head of Tianyun Shattered Land, and let Hong Jian replace me to control the many broken lands within the Shangguan family's jurisdiction, including Tianyun Shattered Land."
"ah!"
Not only Yang Yuansen screamed, but Zhao Ling and Wu Yi were also shocked by the news and looked at her.
She nodded and said, "I opened the ghost altar and performed a ritual before I came here. I have communicated with the leader, but I haven't had time to tell you two about it."
Wu Yi sighed, "This kid became famous overnight among us Dark Ghosts by killing Fei Zheng. He can be considered to have ascended to heaven in one step."
He glanced at Zhao Ling and said, "Such a young hall master has never appeared in our Dark Ghost history..."
Zhao Ling looked calm, nodded and said, "Based on his combat prowess and meticulous thinking, he is definitely capable of winning the position of hall master."
The three of them kept talking here and there, and even brought up the culprit, leaving Yang Yuansen helpless.
He looked at the two sisters Bai Wei and Bai Zhi helplessly.
“Boom boom!”
Fan Liang knocked on the door and entered. After entering, he bowed to the three hall masters and said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong! In just today, the independent cultivators who were in contact with us in Tianyun City, as well as several brothers stationed in the city, were killed or captured by the Shangguan family and the Ouyang family."
"In the afternoon, the guards and guests of the two families began to sweep the surrounding towns."
"In two or three days at most, all our bases and branches in Tianyun City and the nearby towns will be completely discovered!"
Fan Liang explained the situation.
"Mr. Meng, maybe we should take the Yunfan and leave." Zhao Ling frowned and said, "We have our own Yunfan, so we don't have to rely on the seven major families."
"Master Zhao, the place where the cloud sail is parked seems to have been exposed." Fan Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Also, all the cloud sails entering and leaving Tianyun City will be strictly screened! I heard that several other major families also came here on cloud sails and all gathered in Tianyun City."
Zhao Ling was surprised and asked, "So, we are trapped in the Fragmented Land of Destiny?"
Meng Qiulan's face slightly changed: "I feel like something big has happened that we don't understand."
…
Another half month passed in the blink of an eye.
Pang Jian immersed himself in the pool of blood, and together with the white jade porcelain bottle floating on the thick blood, he absorbed the vast blood and flesh energy in the pool.
At the bottom of the pool, there were impurities and foreign matter from the animal blood, which were filtered out by the blood crystals and then precipitated.
With sufficient beast blood resources, Pang Jian never thought about joining up with Dark Ghost as originally planned.
For the past half month, he has been staying here, using the energy in the blood pool to temper his internal organs day and night.
When he was hungry, he would simply prepare the meat of the ferocious beasts that Luo Hongyan had collected in the cabin and then roast it before eating.
There was enough clean water in his storage bag, and they had plenty of animal blood and meat, so they didn't need to go out at all.
At this moment, he was refining bits of blood and flesh energy, mixing it with spiritual power, and then transporting it to his internal organs with the help of the twelve meridians.
In addition, some of the blood and flesh energy dissipated in his muscles, making his body even stronger.
Now, his whole body is filled with surging vitality, as if he has endless divine power.
From time to time, he would sense the nearby sapling, and soon he would find that the sapling had moved again.
When this small tree does not show any strangeness, it is very similar to the trees around it. It knows how to hide itself.
"Pang Jian, something's not right outside."
Luo Hongyan's graceful figure flew out from the bottle mouth and hovered above the blood pool. She frowned and said:
"Recently, I have released spiritual demons and seen many independent cultivators being killed for no reason by the Shangguan and Ouyang families. It seems that all the Dark Ghosts have evacuated to the depths of Yunze, also avoiding being hunted down."
Pang Jian opened his eyes, looked at her graceful body, and said, "They attacked the Blood Moon's hunting ship and got a lot of supplies. They should have evacuated Tianyun City long ago."
"Well, they should have thought that the Ouyang family and the Shangguan family, as well as the later Lieyang Sect and Xinghe Alliance, would not let them go easily." Luo Hongyan nodded in agreement.
"We have plenty of beast blood in our hands, so we don't have to pay attention to them." Pang Jian closed his eyes again.
"Okay."
Luo Hongyan wandered around in the stone cave, stretching her limbs in the deep red blood mist, and looked at the thin blood vessels gradually growing on her crystal-like arms, and smiled with satisfaction.
"It won't be long before I can reappear in the world with my true appearance, which will surely dazzle this fellow."
She muttered to herself, and her words condensed into a wisp of red smoke that escaped into the white jade porcelain bottle.
She no longer paid attention to the changes in the outside world, but instead shared the vast blood energy in the blood pool with Pang Jian.
…
This day.
After changing to a pool of blood and water, Pang Jian soaked in it again. When he was practicing the spiritual technique to collect the essence of blood and flesh, his mind was suddenly touched.
A portion of the blood, flesh and energy that he had re-mobilized actually quietly escaped towards the bronze plate in his chest.
Inside the bronze plate, there seemed to be something working with him, absorbing the blood, flesh and energy he had collected into his body.
"Black Turtle!"
Pang Jian immediately knew that the little black turtle floating in the bronze "strange fog" should have started its growth journey just like the dark anaconda and the sapling!
Not long.
The blood and flesh energy hidden in the blood pool was completely absorbed. Pang Jian took out the beast blood clot from the storage bracelet and reintegrated it into the blood pool.
Soon, the blood and flesh energy in the blood pool was exhausted again.
"Pang Jian, you are in the middle stage of the Marrow Cleansing Realm. Do you need such a huge amount of blood and flesh energy to temper your internal organs and body?"
Luo Hongyan looked at him in amazement at the "Crystal Snow Lotus" in the porcelain bottle, and asked curiously, "Why do I feel that you need more blood, flesh and energy than me to refine a new body?"
Pang Jian hummed, and said, "You told me that my tendons and bones are tempered with Phoenix marrow, and the strength of my tendons and bones far exceeds that of ordinary marrow cleansing realm. Perhaps because of this, I need more blood and flesh energy in this realm."
"All right."
Luo Hongyan nodded.
Next, Pang Jian was in a busy state.
Every day, he needed to take out beast blood clots many times and merge them into the blood pool so that he and Luo Hongyan could absorb the blood and flesh power from it.
Later, Luo Hongyan clearly noticed that something was wrong with him and felt the abnormal flow of blood, flesh and energy.
Smart Luo Hongyan didn't say much when she found the third rare thing and wanted to share the blood and flesh energy in the blood pool with them.
A few more days passed.
"call!"
Luo Hongyan flew out of the white jade porcelain bottle gracefully. She floated in the cave with a graceful posture. Her beautiful face was full of confusion as she said, "Many people from the upper realm are pouring into Yunze."
“Huh!”
Through the patrolling spirit placed in the distance, she also saw the familiar Meng Qiulan and others, and found that these dark ghosts were hiding here and there like dogs that had lost their homes.
The two girls who obviously had a crush on Pang Jian, their bright eyes were once again filled with despair and powerlessness.
She secretly eavesdropped on the conversation of the dark ghosts.
After a moment.
"Pang Jian..."
Luo Hongyan exclaimed softly.
At this moment, Pang Jian, who had successfully tempered all the internal organs and muscles in his body, was recalling the key points of practicing "Hutian Yangqi Jue" and was planning to start refining his blood.
At this point, he is in the late stage of Marrow Cleansing Realm.
"What's wrong?"
Pang Jian asked.
"Haha, An Gui wants you to be the head of the hall..."
Luo Hongyan's eyebrows moved, and she suddenly clapped her hands and laughed, "Pang Jian, I think you can find a hall master to do it. As far as I know, the Dark Ghost Hall Master can communicate with the leader by opening a ghost altar, and can also exchange items with the ghost altar."
