The sky is beginning to brighten.
In the curling mist, everyone was ready to go.
Pang Jian, the guide for this trip, had already packed everything. Seeing that everyone was ready, he headed towards the Ulan Lake which he had privately decided on.
After he left.
Luo Hongyan stretched her body lazily, gracefully falling from the dense branches of the ancient tree, and quickly went to meet him, asking with concern: "How was your rest last night?"
"good."
Pang Jian did not mention He Rong's visit. After greeting her, he continued walking forward.
Luo Hongyan came over as if nothing had happened, and joined him on the journey, chatting all the way.
As for He Rong, Su Yuntian and others behind, Luo Hongyan didn't care whether they caught up or not.
On the contrary, when Pang Jian was talking to her, he would occasionally look back, and every time he found He Rong and Su Yuntian huddled together whispering, their expressions seemed very heavy, with gloom in their brows.
Half an hour later, Su Yuntian stepped forward and said, "Ning girl, please stay for a moment."
Luo Hongyan frowned impatiently, turned her head and asked coldly: "What's the matter?"
"this… "
Su Yuntian coughed dryly, and seeing He Rong remained silent in the back, he asked, "Do you know who killed Ziren?"
"The Dark Ghost, a man wearing a golden mask. He died at the bottom of the Black Water Pond. It seems that he was bitten to death by the out-of-control black and white king python. I was outside at the time and didn't notice him."
Luo Hongyan, who knew about the conversation between He Rong and Pang Jian through "Lingsha", said the same thing, as if she was deliberately covering it up for Pang Jian.
Pang Jian looked at her in surprise.
"He is Dong Qianfeng!"
Su Yuntian's tone was as heavy as his expression, and he shouted, "Brother Pang Jian, take a good look at his face. It is full of scars. He is Dong Qianfeng who was expelled from the Lieyang Sect!"
Luo Hongyan pretended to be surprised: "Oh, it's him."
"Among our generation, he has a much higher cultivation talent than He Rong and I. The two of us are not qualified to be absorbed by the upper realm, but Dong Qianfeng has already gone to Lieyang Sect."
Su Yuntian made a bitter face and revealed the inside story: "I don't know who he offended in the Lieyang Sect, or what mistakes he made, but he was cut off his face by the Lieyang Sect and was expelled."
"The Dong family did not dare to question the decision made by the Lieyang Sect, let alone accept Dong Qianfeng again. Since then, Dong Qianfeng's whereabouts have been unknown."
"I never thought that he would come back from the Third Realm and mingle with the Dark Ghost's people."
Su Yuntian explained the pros and cons in detail.
Luo Hongyan looked indifferent and said, "The person is dead, what else is there to say?"
"He is dead, but the team arranged by the Dong family to explore the Cenji Mountains was led by his adopted son Dong Tianze!" Su Yuntian's voice trembled slightly.
When Dong Tianze was mentioned, there was a sudden look of fear in his eyes, as if he was more afraid of him than Dong Qianfeng.
"Dong Tianze is not a real member of the Dong family. He was brought back from outside by Dong Qianfeng and regarded as his adopted son."
Su Yuntian took a deep breath, rubbed his forehead and said in distress: "This boy is cruel and bloodthirsty, and his fighting power is extremely strong among the new generation of the Dong family. Rumor has it that he has started bone cutting and marrow cleansing, and he has also refused the recruitment of the Lieyang Sect."
"The Lieyang Sect is the backer of the Dong family. He even dared to reject the Lieyang Sect. It must be because of Dong Qianfeng's expulsion."
"Since Dong Qianfeng is a member of the Dark Ghost, will Dong Tianze, who is more ruthless and stronger than him, also join the Dark Ghost?"
"If he colludes with the Dark Ghost, with this wolf cub's methods and cruelty, I'm afraid all of us from the seven major families who came to the Cenji Mountains will not be able to escape."
When Su Yuntian was speaking, his daughter Su Meng was also frightened, obviously knowing how terrible Dong Tianze was.
All the subordinates of the Su family and the He family were also terrified by the name Dong Tianze, as if they heard the echoing of the death knell.
Luo Hongyan didn't care and said calmly: "So, what do you mean?"
"Our two families have decided to evacuate the Cenji Mountains and go back to report the collusion between Dong Qianfeng and An Gui. Let the Dong family pay attention to that brat Dong Tianze themselves." Su Yuntian said timidly.
After saying that, he glanced at Su Meng.
What he was most worried about was his daughter Su Meng.
He himself was not that afraid of death, but Su Meng was still young, and he had high hopes for her. She was also chosen by the Lieyang Sect early on and would soon be able to go to the upper realm to practice.
Su Meng must not get into any trouble in the Ceji Mountains!
"Whatever you want."
Luo Hongyan didn't care. Under Pang Jian's astonished gaze, she walked past Pang Jian for the first time, as if she had abandoned the Su and He families.
The indifferent attitude she displayed made Su Yuntian and He Rong secretly unhappy, but they also breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, the two asked Pang Jian about the fastest way to leave the Cenji Mountains and return to the outside civilized world.
Pang Jian thought about it and was about to tell him when Luo Hongyan's scream suddenly came from a distance.
Hearing the screams, Pang Jian ignored the two of them and shot forward with his spear like lightning, so fast that Su Yuntian and He Rong were dumbfounded.
The two looked at each other, and without getting the exact direction of leaving the mountain, they had no choice but to follow.
In the weeds covered with dried blood, there lay a smelly corpse with long hair scattered. The corpse seemed to be a female monk, and her clothes were dotted with tiny star patterns.
The corpse seemed to have been eaten by wild beasts. In the bloody palm of Lin's left hand, there was a white jade hairpin.
The white jade hairpin emitted a faint glow, and compared with this cruel and bloody scene, the glow seemed so bright and clean.
"They are from the Galaxy Alliance!"
When He Rong and Su Yuntian arrived, they only took a look at the clothes wrapped around the corpse and determined the identity of the person.
The golden chariot crashed next to Crescent Lake, and no one from the Galaxy Alliance was seen. It seemed that they evacuated from the chariot after the wreck.
"No wonder we didn't find any valuable spiritual materials inside or outside the golden chariot."
He Rong touched his chin and said softly.
"A low-level spiritual weapon."
Next to the corpse, Luo Hongyan muttered something and kicked the hand bones holding the white jade hairpin with her embroidered shoes.
Then the white jade hairpin, shining with bright light, suddenly flew out and shot towards a tree next to it.
The white jade hairpin instantly passed through the tree trunk and fell into the grass next to Su Meng.
After the bloodstains on the hairpin passed through the tree trunk, they miraculously disappeared, making the jade appear even more outstanding.
Looking at the hairpin hidden in the grass leaves, Su Meng, who came with her father, felt a little longing in her heart.
But thinking that the thing was just stained with blood and was kicked away by Luo Hongyan, she was embarrassed to pick it up.
"Take it if you like it. I don't like it anyway."
Luo Hongyan chuckled and said nonchalantly, "If nothing unexpected happens, we can find a lot of corpses of Xinghe League monks in the back. I think there will still be some spiritual tools like this white jade hairpin."
Su Yuntian rubbed his hands, glared at Su Meng and said, "Why don't you thank Sister Ning quickly!"
"Thank you, sister!"
Su Meng, who was tactful, removed the word "Ning", took out a handkerchief and happily wrapped up the white jade hairpin, thinking that she would try to figure out the wonder of it after it was cleaned.
"Brother Su, it won't hurt to take another look."
He Rong suddenly said.
"Also... okay." Su Yuntian nodded slightly.
The two people who originally intended to leave the Cenji Mountains as soon as possible temporarily gave up the idea and prepared to walk further with Pang Jian and Ning Yao to see if there were any new gains.
…
Pang Jian was still leading the way.
During the rest of the journey, they discovered several more corpses of monks from the Galaxy Alliance in the upper realm.
Some small items on the corpse belonged to the Su and He families under Luo Hongyan's arrangement, and some spirit stones that could be used for cultivation were given by her to Pang Jian.
She herself took none.
Both the Su and He families had no objection to her way of distribution. They thought that she had a secret crush on Pang Jian, so she did not take a penny and only wanted to get spirit stones for Pang Jian.
The two families, attracted by the relics on the corpses of the Galaxy Alliance, no longer mentioned leaving, and everyone lived in peace along the way.
This day.
Pang Jian stepped out from the waist-high grass and suddenly shouted, "We're here!"
When he left the bushes, he saw a light blue lake that was much larger than Crescent Lake, filling his eyes.
The lake water in front of you is light blue, different from the pure white Crescent Lake, and the water quality in the lake is also different from that of Crescent Lake.
Because the water of Wulan Lake is salty.
There are always many small fish swimming under the cold lake water, and they taste extremely delicious.
Thinking of the deliciousness of those little fishes, Pang Jian licked the corner of his mouth and felt that his stomach, which had just been filled, was hungry again.
"Is this the Wulan Lake you mentioned?"
Luo Hongyan was the second person to arrive at the lake. Her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up and she was surprised by the scenery in front of her.
In the middle of the light blue lake, there is a strange little island with low mountains on it, and the mountains are full of flowers and plants that compete with each other for beauty.
In the entire Cenic Mountains, there is no other place where the flowers and plants are so dense and bright.
The island in the lake was listed as a restricted area, and even the unromantic Pang Jian couldn't help but take a few more glances every time he passed by.
Because it really does look beautiful.
However, Pang Jian followed his father's instructions and never went to the island in the lake. He just stayed around the area.
"call!"
When Pang Jian was gazing at the familiar island in the lake, he suddenly saw something whistling in the sky above the low hills on the island.
After squinting his eyes, he finally saw it clearly and shouted, "The White Pagoda of the Yinling Temple!"
The three strange objects that fell from the sky, the golden chariot of the Galaxy Alliance and the unfixed ferry of the Blood Moon, either crashed or were anchored on the ground and no longer active.
The white tower of the Yinling Temple was still flying away, and it was on the island in the lake that was designated as a restricted area by his father.
“What a beautiful island!”
After Su Meng walked out, she looked at the island in the middle of the lake with flowers blooming in all their glory and the charming light blue lake water, and was a little dazed for a moment.
She said longingly, "I didn't expect that in a place like the Cenji Mountains, there would be an island with such beautiful scenery."
"It's the Tianling Pagoda of the Yinling Temple!"
When Su Yuntian and He Rong came to inspect the island in the middle of the lake, they also saw the whistling white tower.
Luo Hongyan looked at the small island in the lake with a calm and indifferent expression, but there was a strange light in her eyes. She said softly: "The Tianling Tower is still active, which means that there are people on the island now."
After a pause, she frowned and said, "Although it is not revealed, there must be a phoenix bone on the island, deeply embedded in the ground below the island."
She looked at Pang Jian and said, "You should also know that there must be a fourth phoenix bone buried somewhere deep in the island in the middle of the lake, right?"
Pang Jian nodded slightly.
