On the other side of Yunze.
Below the steep cliff, there is a stone platform shaded by green pines.
On the stone platform.
A dozen surviving Dark Ghost members carefully hid their bodies and gazed into the distance under the cover of night.
At this moment, the group of people didn't dare to breathe, just looking at the familiar hunting boat.
The hunting boat seemed to have discovered something suddenly, and just as it was getting closer and closer to them, it suddenly accelerated and rushed into the distance!
Several people on the stone platform looked at the departure of the hunting boat in surprise, and saw three figures flying out of the hunting boat in succession under the cover of night, turning into blood-red streams of light and falling into a muddy area.
"Three of them are in the Marrow Cleansing Stage!"
Wu Yi's face slightly changed, and he said in surprise: "After Fei Zheng, there is another new Blood Moon strongman coming! They are so far away, and the figures of the three people falling are shining with blood light, they must be in the Marrow Cleansing Realm!"
Zhao Ling seemed a little confused: "Who can alarm the three Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivators of Blood Moon?"
Meng Qiulan shook her head and said, "Perhaps there are powerful people in Yunze that we don't know about."
Recently, Blood Moon's hunting ships and the cloud sails of the major families have been appearing day and night over Yunze, capturing ferocious beasts and wandering cultivators everywhere. They have long been accustomed to it.
However, this was the first time they had encountered Blood Moon sending out three people in the Marrow Cleansing Realm in succession.
"You forgot Hong Jian."
Yang Yuansen, with his shiny bald head, grinned and laughed strangely.
He took out a small pennant from his bosom, shook his head, and said gloatingly: "That kid was really careless. He actually alarmed the Blood Moon's hunting boat. There are many surviving members of the Blood Moon who saw him kill Fei Zheng in Instrumental Music Street. He can't get away this time."
"Hong Jian?"
Wu Yi was stunned for a moment, and said: "If it is him, it is indeed possible to alarm the three people in the Marrow Cleansing Realm."
Bai Wei and Bai Zhi covered their mouths and looked at the place where the three blood lights fell from afar, then looked at Meng Qiulan eagerly.
"How do you know it was him?"
Meng Qiulan asked in a deep voice.
Yang Yuansen proudly presented the small silk banner to everyone and sneered, "This small silk banner is one with the ghost altar that he took. I can feel it from this."
On the small silk banner, there were intricate symbols that looked like ghost paintings, and faint fluctuations of spiritual energy were rippling out.
"There is something you two may not know. The leader has abandoned us anyway, so I will tell you..."
Yang Yuansen pointed to the talisman on the small banner and said to Zhao Ling and Meng Qiulan, "Do you know what this talisman represents?"
The two frowned and shook their heads.
There is also such a small banner in the ghost altar of Zhao Ling and Meng Qiulan, with the same talismans inside, but they don’t know the specific meaning of those talismans.
Every time they opened the ghost altar, they just followed the leader's instructions and inserted silk flags on the edge of the ghost altar.
"I spent a lot of money to ask a master, and only then did I know that this talisman represents the word 'hidden'. This word 'hidden' does not mean to hide us, but to hide the leader's face."
Yang Yuansen snorted and said, "I had some doubts about the leader's identity. After knowing the secret of this silk banner, I deliberately omitted this small silk banner representing the word 'hidden' when I opened the ghost altar."
"Hey, the leader didn't pay attention to this. Sometimes he would hide his appearance, and sometimes he would show his true face."
"However, after I took off the banner, I could see his appearance whether he was hiding or not."
At this point, Yang Yuansen paused, looked at Meng Qiulan and Zhao Ling, and said: "The leader you met, occasionally responded to my ghost altar, he was too lazy to change clothes and just hid his image casually. He thought I couldn't see him. But I saw him many times, wearing the robes of the Yinling Temple!"
"The Yinling Temple!"
Wu Yi, Zhao Ling, and Meng Qiulan screamed in shock.
Zhao Ling and Meng Qiulan had met Han Zhiyuan before, and they had doubts about Han Zhiyuan's identity, but they did not expect that Yang Yuansen directly confirmed Han Zhiyuan's identity!
"Sometimes, the one who responds to my ghost altar is not the leader himself!"
Yang Yuansen dropped a bombshell and said, "Mr. Kuishou is in the Yinling Temple most of the time. When he is busy with trivial matters, he will arrange for others to respond to us!"
Several people were extremely shocked when they heard this.
"The leader of the Dark Ghosts is unable to save us, but if a powerful hermit from the Yinling Temple is willing to pay the price, there is no chance at all!" Yang Yuansen, who was as disappointed as death, said the cold truth, "He thinks that our value is not worth exposing his identity, and not worth breaking up with the Blood Moon, Fiery Sun Sect, and Galaxy Alliance."
Yang Yuansen turned the small banner in his hand and hummed, "I didn't intend to use this thing to do anything to Hong Jian. It and the ghost altar were originally placed in different places, and I forgot to give them to him. I didn't expect..."
Looking at the area where the hunting ship was flying past, he chuckled and said, "He can't escape from under this hunting ship. He will die before all of us!"
"master!"
Bai Wei and Bai Zhi looked at Meng Qiulan with pleading eyes.
“With three people in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, Hong Jian may not be able to hold on alone. If there are a few of us…” Zhao Ling struggled internally and gritted her teeth and said, “We can’t escape from the Destiny Shattered Land anyway, so we might as well join Hong Jian and fight to the death with Blood Moon!”
Wu Yi also immediately expressed his opinion: "Yes, with a few of us, Hong Jian may not lose!"
"You are yourselves, don't count me in." Yang Yuansen sneered and refused: "Maybe if we delay it to the end, we can still get a chance to survive."
Zhao Ling, who didn't count on him, asked, "Mr. Meng, what do you think?"
Meng Qiulan nodded: "Let's go find Hong Jian!"
Bai Wei and Bai Zhi exclaimed in surprise.
"You two stay!"
Meng Qiulan glared at them and said, "You two are at too low a level. You won't be able to help if you go over there. You will only be captured alive by Blood Moon!"
"Master, we would rather take the risk and go over than stay here!" Bai Wei looked at Yang Yuansen, who made her feel sick, with fear.
Meng Qiulan was stunned for a moment before she realized that once she, Zhao Ling and Wu Yi left, Bai Wei and Bai Zhi would definitely fall into Yang Yuansen's hands.
"good!"
She agreed.
Watching them go away, Yang Yuansen said mockingly, "The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn. I wish you good luck."
In his opinion, to come into conflict with the Blood Moon people now would be to seek death.
Because above Yunze, in addition to the hunting boat, there was also Yunfan carrying the strong men from the seven major families.
The unusual movement of the blood moon is likely to alarm the Yunfans, causing the strong men from several major families to gather together in a short period of time.
…
“Puff! Puff! Puff!”
Balls of fire and light exploded, causing the three Blood Moon Tongmai Realm monks who were trying to intercept them to retreat while howling and spitting blood.
Pang Jian, holding the Jingzhi Spear, seriously injured three people in the Tongmai Realm. He did not stay for a moment and continued to charge forward.
Behind him, three people in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, led by Ni Chen, had already fallen off the beast-catching boat.
"This kid is really tricky!"
"Fei Zheng fell into his hands. It seems that he was not careless. Everyone should pay attention!"
Ni Chen and the other two chatted as they chased.
Blood-red rays of light flew out from the weapons in their hands. Some of them deviated from their direction and exploded in the grass around Pang Jian.
Some of the rainbows of light accurately hit Pang Jian's back. Pang Jian would often groan and then lower his head to run forward.
Pang Jian, who had a goal in mind, had no intention of fighting them to the death. He just fled under the cover of night at an astonishing speed.
If it weren't for the hunting boat in the sky that locked onto him firmly, and if it weren't for the people at the Tongmai Realm who kept intercepting him in front, Pang Jian would have disappeared from the sight of the three people behind him long ago.
"People on the boat, don't come down anymore. You are trying to stop him on the boat! This kid is very powerful. You, who are at the Tongmai realm, will die if you come down!"
When another person failed to escape and was shot dead by Pang Jian, Ni Chen hurriedly roared towards the hunting boat.
On the boat, those Blood Moon warriors who were about to come down were obviously relieved.
Afterwards, they got on the hunting boat, and using the boat's high speed, they shot from a distance with many light blades and blood arrows.
Amid the flashing of swords and sabers, Pang Jian had no target to kill and could only dodge and move forward.
Under this kind of attack, no matter how agile and nimble he was, or how familiar he was with the area, he was inevitably hurt one after another.
Gradually, he got more knife cuts and a few small blood holes on his body.
"puff!"
Another bloody arrow shot out at him the moment he landed and pierced his shoulder.
He pulled out the blood arrow casually, as if he didn't feel any pain, and flew away another seventy or eighty feet away.
finally.
Pang Jian, covered in blood, came to the swamp where the Tianling Tower had sunk and breathed a sigh of relief.
He also saw a spirit demon suddenly disappear.
At the special location where the Tianling Tower sank, Luo Hongyan's spirit has always been there, to prevent anyone from accidentally discovering the Tianling Tower so that they can come and rescue it in time.
This place is not far from the cave where Luo Hongyan cast his body.
Pang Jian believed that Luo Hongyan had already known his current situation through the spiritual evil spirits, and would soon mobilize the spiritual evil spirits scattered everywhere to come to this swamp to help in the battle.
With his current combat power, plus Luo Hongyan who is getting stronger every day, these people from Blood Moon will only die here.
“Huh!”
Pang Jian stopped running and was surprised to see that the wounds on his body that were opened by the blood arrows not only stopped bleeding, but were also filled with a numbing strange force.
"A gift from a little tree!"
There is a pure breath of life lingering around the wounds, allowing them to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In a short time, his injuries were no longer serious and would not affect his subsequent battles.
"He stopped!"
"Boy, why don't you keep running?"
"Is this the grave you chose for yourself?"
On the hunting boat.
Those Blood Moon Tongmai Realm monks stared at Pang Jian who had stopped in a swamp and mocked him loudly.
"Well, this is the cemetery I chose for you."
Pang Jian stuck the Jingzhi Spear into the ground, took out a few blood-replenishing pills from his storage bag and swallowed them, then slowly adjusted his breathing, waiting for the three people in the Xisui Realm to show up.
"Hong Jian, hold on!"
"We're coming!"
The loud shouts of Zhao Ling and Wu Yi suddenly rang out from a distance, both of them cheering him on.
