A cloud sail slowly descended towards Tianyun City.
The cloud sail that carries goods and people is the most commonly used means of transportation for the seven major families in the fourth realm.
Yunfan travels between the various broken lands at a very slow speed and cannot fly to the third realm.
He Hui, with a dignified appearance, stood above Yunfan, looking at Tianyun City which was getting closer and closer.
“It’s much more desolate than before.”
A guest official who was loyal to the He family accompanied him to look at the Tianyun City below and sighed: "The dignitaries and their families who were loyal to the Shangguan family in the four regions of east, west, south and north have all been arranged by Yunfan to leave."
"As for independent cultivators, not only will they have to pay for the expensive boat tickets, but their memories will also be searched to ensure they have nothing to do with the Dark Ghost before they are allowed to leave."
After a pause, the man looked towards the west district and shook his head: "These ordinary people don't know that danger is approaching. They only know that there are fewer and fewer people in the city."
He Hui, whose son had died, did not answer.
His elder brother He Rong died, and his son He Ziren also died in the Cenji Mountains. He has been in a very bad mood recently.
Not long ago, he learned from the Su family that his son He Ziren was killed by the dark ghost Hong Tai, and his brother died at the hands of Dong Tianze who defected from the Dong family.
Only three survivors, Su Meng, Zhou Qingchen and Han Duping, escaped the disaster by reaching the third realm through the mirror tunnel.
"Ziren is dead, but Hongtai actually has a nephew named Hong Jian, who is making a name for himself in Tianyun City!"
He Hui, who had just entered the marrow cleansing realm, suppressed his inner grief and said, "I came to Tianyun City this time not only to know how large the scope of the disaster is, but also to see Hong Jian's death!"
"Sir, Shangguan Dong and Ouyang Quan are both searching for Hong Jian's whereabouts." The guest official nodded and said, "Ouyang Duanhai, Shangguan Qin, and the two families who entered the Cenji Mountains are said to have died because of the dark ghost Hong Tai."
He Hui said coldly: "None of the Dark Ghost's men will be able to leave Tianyun City!"
…
Thousand miles of clouds and marshes.
Three cloud sails, filled with practitioners from the seven major families, floated in the sky of Yunze.
They are out and about day and night.
Many of the Dark Ghosts, as well as independent cultivators who could not prove that they were not Dark Ghosts, were being targeted by the people in Yunfan.
Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot.
Those who refuse to resist will be captured and imprisoned, and after a while they will be handed over to the people from the Lieyang Sect and the Xinghe Alliance, and will be taken to the broken land infected by the foul alien force in golden chariots and fire cloud ships.
The Galaxy Alliance has prepared a lot of "Star Eyes" and plans to implant them into the bodies of those people, and then throw them into the places infected by the foul alien power to see what is happening next.
night.
A swamp where light green miasma clouds are always floating in the air.
Because of the existence of this light green miasma, even if Yunfan passed by from above, if no one came down, the view would not be able to see the situation below clearly through the miasma.
You can't see anything at night.
On a wet muddy ground, the three hall masters Meng Qiulan, Yang Yuansen and Zhao Ling gathered in front of a four-sided altar.
Around the altar, there were colorful small banners, each covered with unknown talismans.
The spiritual materials that make up the altar are mainly Xuanyin Stone, mixed with Kongling Jade.
now.
In the center of the altar, which the dark ghost called the "ghost altar," a gray figure appeared, as if someone was projecting his own image from another time and space.
Next to the small banners at the edge of the ghost altar, there were grooves, which suddenly revealed the spiritual techniques of cultivation, materials for marrow cleansing, several exquisitely shaped objects, and some pill bottles and jars.
"Meet the leader!"
The three hall masters who had dispersed the ordinary members bowed down and kowtowed to that man together.
The leader of the dark ghosts who was projected from a distance did not reveal his true face. He said in a hoarse male voice: "Except for the Zhou family, which is the farthest from the Shangguan family's jurisdiction, the people of the other six major families are here. In addition, there are people from the Galaxy Alliance, the Lieyang Sect, and the Blood Moon. The few of you will have to find a way to leave the Tianyun Shattered Land this time."
"Even if I concentrate all the power of the Dark Ghosts, it will still be difficult to reach Tianyun City and bring you out successfully."
The leader of the dark ghosts told the truth.
Although they knew this, the three hall masters still felt despair when they heard him say it himself.
"Meng Qiulan, Zhao Ling, you have family members outside. You can give me some of the precious items you have. I will properly arrange for your family members to stay."
The leader of the dark ghosts said dimly.
Meng Qiulan took the lead in throwing the prepared beast blood, the spiritual jade obtained from the beast-catching boat, and a mid-level spiritual weapon from her collection into an empty groove in the "ghost altar" in front of her.
"I don't have any children of my own, and my brother died of old age a long time ago. No one in his family has the talent for cultivation. As for me, I just hope that his family can achieve wealth and glory." Meng Qiulan said.
"I promise you. Your brother's family will enjoy all the splendor and wealth in the secular world."
The leader nodded, and the valuables that Meng Qiulan had placed in the empty groove disappeared instantly.
Zhao Ling hesitated for a moment, and put the things she had prepared long ago into the groove in front of her, saying: "I hope my brother can get a set of marrow cleansing materials when he is promoted to the marrow cleansing realm."
"Well, this is easy."
The leader of the dark ghosts took a look at the other things in the groove and said, "The value of the things inside is more than just one batch of marrow cleansing materials. Do you have any other requests?"
Zhao Ling said, "I know the leader's ability. If the disaster really spreads to the entire Fourth Realm in the future, I hope you can take him to the Third Realm for my loyalty over the years. No matter where he is in the Third Realm, I just hope he can survive and not become a polluted corpse in the Fourth Realm."
The Dark Ghost leader did not agree immediately, but thought for a while before nodding and agreeing: "I agree."
As soon as he finished speaking, the things Zhao Ling put down were also teleported away through the air.
"Thank you, Chief!"
"Yang Yuansen, what about you?"
The leader of the dark ghosts, whose true face was not revealed, looked at Yang Yuansen who remained silent.
"Master Kuishou, I have no children, no one is worth worrying about. Hey, as for those women who followed me, you can make arrangements for them, give them away or sell them to anyone, I don't care."
"I'm going to die in Tianyun City myself. I don't care about people who are not related to me by blood."
Yang Yuansen sneered.
"Well, you three take care of yourselves. I hope we can meet again someday."
The figure of the dark ghost leader disappeared from the "Ghost Altar", and the objects that had previously appeared in the grooves in front of the three people disappeared as well.
Meng Qiulan, who was opening the altar, stood up and took down the small silk banners, preparing to put the ghost altar away. She complained and muttered, "I guess I won't need the ghost altar anymore in the future."
Right now.
A figure appeared quietly from a distance and soon appeared in front of the three people, scaring them.
"Hong Jian!"
Meng Qiulan held onto the small banners, looked at Pang Jian who appeared out of nowhere under the night sky, and then looked into the distance, cursing, "Are all those sentinels dead?"
"It was too dark and I arrived too quickly, so they didn't notice."
Pang Jian said calmly.
As he spoke, he looked at the ghost altar that Meng Qiulan had collected and felt a familiar breath.
Back then in the Silence Mountains, when he destroyed the skull-shaped soul formation, he felt this eerie and icy aura.
"Dark Ghost, maybe it has something to do with the Yinling Temple..."
Pang Jian thought in his heart.
"You disappeared for a long time."
Zhao Ling stood up, looked at Pang Jian deeply, and said self-deprecatingly: "During the time you disappeared, we..."
She shook her head and said nothing more.
The strongholds were taken down one by one, Fan Liang was captured alive, and as they entered Yunze's Tongmai realm, some were killed and some were injured.
At present, the total number of dark ghost members in Tianyun Shattered Land is less than forty.
Most of these people were scattered throughout Qianli Yunze, some hiding in caves, and some lurking under certain lakes. They were all in constant fear, fearing that one day they would be noticed by Yunfan hovering overhead.
"Is this the Ghost Altar? I heard that only the hall master can communicate with the leader through the Ghost Altar and exchange it for various rare spiritual materials at equal value?"
Pang Jian looked at the ghost altar and asked softly.
“It will take a while before it can be reopened.”
Meng Qiulan nodded and smiled bitterly: "Hong Jian, it's a pity that you didn't leave Tianyun Shattered Land earlier. With your cultivation level and being so young, you would be treated with respect if you went to other Dark Ghost branches in other Shattered Lands as long as you said your name."
Pang Jian asked again: "I heard that the leader of Tianyun Shattered Land is planning to let me take on the position of the hall master?"
Meng Qiulan was speechless. "You and me, all of us, will be found by the seven major families, and no one will survive. What's the point of being the hall master or not?"
Pang Jian was silent for a moment, then said, "You may die, but I may not."
"Boy!"
Yang Yuansen had long disliked him and angrily asked, "Where were you hiding when we were fleeing in a panic and our subordinates were being found and killed one after another? According to the agreement, you should have joined us the next day! At this point, do you think you can still survive?"
Pang Jian said "hmm".
"Hong Jian!"
"Hong Jian!"
When the three hall masters were performing the ghost altar, Wu Yi, who had consciously retreated to the periphery, and the two girls, Bai Wei and Bai Zhi, came over when they heard the noise.
As soon as they saw Pang Jian, they screamed in surprise.
"We thought you were dead a long time ago."
Bai Wei's true feelings were revealed. Her eyes were red as she said sadly, "Many people died. Every day, people I know are found and killed. I thought you were dead too."
Bai Zhi bit her lower lip, looked at him eagerly, but said nothing.
"Mr. Meng, since we will eventually die in the Fate of the Sky, you also know that I have always been obsessed with these two girls."
Yang Yuansen brought up the old matter again, still in front of Pang Jian, and shouted: "Can't you just let me sleep with them, let me fulfill my wish, and die peacefully in Tianyun City?"
"I don't want it!"
"I don't want to be with him!"
Bai Zhi and Bai Wei screamed at the same time and looked at Pang Jian together.
Their expressions and eyes let everyone know if they are destined to die and if they must serve someone.
They hoped that person was Pang Jian.
