Luo Hongyan's heart trembled slightly.
"Pang Jian?"
Sealed in a prismatic crystal, she moved her bright eyes with great effort, trying to search for the unlikely figure.
"Impossible, he can't come here. It must be my hallucination, I must have heard it wrong..."
She murmured in her heart.
She had been imprisoned by Old Monster Cao for many days and had long since cut off contact with the outside world. The evil spirits she had condensed were either dead or gathered by Old Monster Cao.
—She lost all her eyesight and perception.
Before, she had always been in a dark cave and had no idea what had happened to Yuan Mang recently.
Pang Jian…
She felt that Pang Jian had been waiting for her return for a long time, and must have left Yuanmang with Gao Yuan and would not stay until the last day.
She even suspected that because her identity was exposed, Pang Jian and Gao Yuan also fell into Jiu Yuan's hands.
"Pang Jian!"
Another gloomy shout suddenly rang out.
Luo Hongyan was startled and couldn't help but look at the person beside her—Jiuyuan of Blood Moon!
It was Jiuyuan who called out Pang Jian's name. Jiuyuan seemed to see Pang Jian, and it seemed that it was not just her illusion!
She was stunned for a moment, and just when she was still doubting...
“Wow!”
A tall and refined black figure suddenly came into her sight and appeared right in front of her.
The familiar young man in black had a stern look on his face, and his angular face was still charming and impressive.
"Pang Jian!"
Luo Hongyan screamed wildly in her heart.
However, no sound came out of her mouth. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anxiety and obvious anger. She thought to herself, "How dare you come? Pang Jian, you shouldn't have come!"
She had been in despair for a long time, and when she really saw Pang Jian show up, she was not happy at all. Instead, she was angry and blamed Pang Jian for showing up!
She really wanted to speak, really wanted to curse Pang Jian, but she could do nothing now.
Pang Jian said softly, "I'm sorry for making you suffer."
His chest heaved and swelled violently, his breathing seemed unusually heavy, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Having been together for so long, he knew too well what Luo Hongyan's eyes meant. Even though Luo Hongyan couldn't speak, Pang Jian knew that she was angry.
She blamed herself for losing her composure again. She shouldn't have appeared at the trading floor today, and even more so... shouldn't have appeared in front of her.
Pang Jian took a deep breath.
Luo Hongyan, who was trapped in a huge crystal, was already in such a situation, but she was still worried about his safety, fearing that he would suffer the same fate.
Forcing himself to stop staring at Luo Hongyan, he looked at Jiuyuan and Lou Yunming who had a cold aura on the side.
Facing his gaze, Jiuyuan grinned strangely, and Lou Yunming frowned slightly.
"Suffering..."
Luo Hongyan's deep and mysterious eyes were quietly misty, and her defenses were broken by his words.
Pang Jian, who had adjusted himself, looked at her again and said seriously, "You will definitely survive. Nothing will happen to you. Believe me."
The mist in Luo Hongyan's eyes became thicker and thicker.
"Boy, if you don't have a million spirit stones, you will definitely be able to successfully compete for her."
Jiu Yuan on the side grinned and said with an undisguised smile: "Also, even if you succeed in competing for her and take her out of the First Peak, you will never be able to leave Yuan Mang safely!"
Without waiting for Pang Jian to speak, Jiu Yuan glanced at Qi Qingsong again and said sarcastically, "An inner sect disciple of the Sword Tower is not qualified to rescue people from the hands of both of us. What's more, she is a remnant of the Blood Spirit Cult!"
"Qi boy, even if your master comes in person, you should think carefully about whether to save the remnants of the Blood Spirit Cult!"
Hearing this, Qi Qingsong touched the token on his waist, smiled, nodded and said, "Yeah, what you said makes sense. You Blood Moon and Yinling Temple are powerful, I can't afford to provoke you."
"Don't bring this up with our Yinling Temple!"
Lou Yunming, who didn't say much, looked at Jiuyuan coldly, his tone as cold as his face, and said: "She was originally imprisoned by us, but she escaped in the Cenji Mountains in the lower world. I came here to be responsible for everyone and bring her back to the Yinling Temple to imprison her again."
"She killed Ling Yun and looted our hunting boat in the underworld. I won't let you take her away easily." Jiu Yuan responded.
"I captured him. You two will draw lots based on your abilities later. Whoever draws the lot will take him away."
A rough and heroic voice sounded.
"Old Monster Cao!"
"The head of the family is here!"
Everyone in the trading floor looked at the speaker.
Pang Jian turned his head and saw a short man with thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly falling from the sky and landing in the center of the platform.
He stood beside Mrs. Hua, who was sitting quietly on the round platform with a smile on her face, but... he was only a little taller than Mrs. Hua who was sitting.
Cao Mang, dressed in golden clothes and wearing a feather crown, looked righteous and awe-inspiring, with extraordinary bearing.
But... he's too short.
"Wow! Wow! Wow!"
Wooden boxes, glass bottles, and scrolls filled with rare treasures suddenly appeared as he appeared, and landed on the edge of the dais, releasing the brilliance and splendor that rare objects should have.
Pang Jian took a look and found that some of the glass bottles contained huge pills, some of the wooden boxes contained dazzling spiritual swords, and some of the scrolls seemed to be advanced cultivation techniques.
Pills, tools, spells, everything you need.
"Pang Jian, Luo...Sister Luo!"
Jiang Li's exclamation came from the wooden door facing Luo Hongyan.
Zhao Yuanqi, who calculated the time well, led Jiang Li into the trading floor. She and Jiang Li looked curiously at the beautiful woman imprisoned in the prismatic crystal.
Zhao Yuanqi said secretly.
"Sister Luo..."
Jiang Li walked to Pang Jian's side, pursed her lips and looked at Luo Hongyan, bowed gently, and said with her head down: "Thank you for taking care of me in Bagua City, but I am not capable enough, so I am afraid I can't help you."
Luo Hongyan, unable to move, just glanced at her and continued to look at Pang Jian.
—Jiang Li’s thanks, Luo Hongyan obviously didn’t care about what she said.
"Yang Rui!"
"Fang Boxuan!"
"Xie Xiwen!"
After Zhao Yuanqi, three other geniuses also entered the trading field one after another at the right time.
Their appearance also caused a lot of low cheers. Many independent cultivators in the Profound Cavern Realm and the Concentrated Spirit Realm looked at the three people curiously in different areas.
Pang Jian frowned, not caring at all about who the visitor was or how strong his cultivation talent was.
Suddenly, the tall and handsome Fang Boxuan took the initiative to walk to Zhao Yuanqi's side.
After only taking a glance at Luo Hongyan, he exclaimed: "Yuanqi, is she the person you asked me to help? She is so beautiful, but it's a pity that she is a remnant of the Blood Spirit Cult..."
Fang Boxuan shook his head regretfully.
"Fang boy, you are not trying to steal my person, are you?"
Jiuyuan said with a wry smile.
As an important member of Blood Moon, he was not optimistic about Fang Boxuan back then and was a bit difficult with him regarding training resources.
Later, Fang Boxuan had several adventures in succession, and his realm soared. In a short period of time, he was promoted to the Dongxuan realm and became the most dazzling genius of Blood Moon.
From then on, Fang Boxuan opposed him in every way, and the two of them had a lot of hatred for each other.
"I have something I want to buy, and I don't have any extra spirit stones to fight with you."
Fang Boxuan snorted and said in a neither arrogant nor humble manner: "After all, I am too young and I am not as experienced as you. After a few more years, when I have also reached the Concentrated Spirit Realm, your say in Blood Moon will become weaker and weaker."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiuyuan's face immediately turned gloomy.
"Senior Cao, could you introduce the woman in the prism to me?"
Yang Rui from the Lieyang Sect stood in front of Cao Mang and Madam Hua as soon as he entered. He raised his finger and pointed at Luo Hongyan who was suppressed in the crystal, and asked curiously, "Is it also sold as a rare treasure?"
"Yes, one million spirit stones. Anyone can give it a try."
Cao Mang, who was as short as a dwarf, was serious and indifferent towards a gifted child like Yang Rui, which was completely different from Madam Hua's enthusiasm.
"The Yinling Temple told me that she is a survivor of the Blood Spirit Cult. Her original body was shattered and her soul has been suppressed for hundreds of years."
"After escaping from the lower realm, she was lucky enough to obtain a crystal snow lotus and reforged a new body."
"Her current realm is unknown, and her actual combat power... is roughly at the early stage of the Concentrated Spirit Realm. Yang Rui, her true strength is slightly better than yours, so I advise you not to participate in the competition."
Cao Mang gave good advice.
"What is her relationship with Pang Jian?"
Yang Rui asked again.
At this time, the actual controller of Yuanmang Shattered Land looked at Pang Jian who had been standing in front of the prismatic crystal. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "It is said that they are a brother and sister."
"Sisters and brothers?"
Yang Rui thought about it seriously and suddenly said, "I want to participate in the competition!"
Pang Jian looked over instantly.
Yang Rui, whose chest was printed with a blazing sun pattern, faced Pang Jian's gaze and said calmly, "If you had sold the Red Eyed Demon Wolf's eyes to me yesterday, nothing would have happened today."
He had a handsome face and a tall stature, standing there like a statue emitting light and heat.
Many high-level independent cultivators frowned secretly, with fear in their eyes, and obviously did not dare to provoke him.
He is actually younger than Qi Qingsong, and his realm is already in the late Dongxuan realm, and he is about to condense his soul.
With his talent and ability, if he joined the Sword Tower, Demon Sect, or Black Valley of the Second Realm instead of the Lieyang Sect of the Third Realm, he would also be an extremely dazzling figure.
"Yang Rui."
After looking at each other from a distance, Pang Jian nodded and looked away.
Just as Yang Rui remembered his name yesterday, he also remembered the name Yang Rui deeply.
"Senior Cao, let's start with her?"
Yang Rui suggested.
The dwarf-like Cao Mang squinted at Luo Hongyan in the crystal and asked, "Who else is competing?"
"I."
Pang Jian answered.
"And me."
Huang Qi, a sneaky cultivator with a rat-like face, stood in an unnoticed corner, laughing softly and shouting.
Seeing Pang Jian looking at him unkindly, Huang Qi smiled and explained, "Little brother, one more person means one more hope. Don't worry, if I can draw the lottery, I will sell her to you at the original price."
"Ah, because of a pair of red-eyed demon wolf pupils, you made an enemy for no reason. I feel really bad about it. I have to do something for you."
Pang Jian was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.
