In the courtyard.
At each of the four corners of the pool, there stands a bluestone platform several meters high.
The existence of the platform seems to be for the people on it to clearly see the four rare treasures displayed in the pool.
At this moment, sitting on the high platform were Lan Xi from the Demon Sect, Lin Beiye from the Black Valley, Qi Qingsong from the Sword Tower, and Dong Tianze who had obtained a drop of Phoenix Marrow.
The rest of the people were scattered around the pool.
The brilliant light was still dropping from the sky little by little, and was about to disappear into the pool.
In addition to Lan Xi, Lin Beiye and Qi Qingsong, even Dong Tianze's expression suddenly became solemn.
Fiery and greedy gazes fell on the surface of the pool like needles, and many people's breathing became rapid.
Pang Jian became alert. He observed his surroundings silently and felt that everyone around him had reached the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
There were no obvious symbols of sectarian influence on those people's clothes, so their backgrounds should not be as prominent as Qi Qingsong and others.
In the pool.
In an area between Dong Tianze and Lanxi Platforms, part of the pool water solidified into rock ice, like a clear ice crystal, floating quietly on the water surface.
This strange ice crystal is where the mirror tunnel is located, and it is also the hope and vitality in the eyes of many people.
Suddenly, Pang Jian noticed a girl in white with a cold expression, quietly approaching Qi Qingsong's direction.
—As he had done before.
"you… "
Pang Jian opened his mouth and cried out softly.
When the girl saw him looking at her, she pressed her white fingers against her lips under her veil and made a gesture to keep quiet.
Pang Jian understood what she meant and gently nudged Zhou Qingchen with his shoulder, signaling Zhou Qingchen to pay attention to the girl's movements.
Zhou Qingchen hummed, and was obviously paying attention to the girl in white and had been secretly preparing.
A sudden change occurred here!
Just when the brilliant divine light was completely hidden in the pool, the figures surrounding the pool suddenly shot towards the pool.
“Whoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Those who refused to leave were just waiting for this opportunity, waiting for all the divine light to disappear into the pool!
They think very simply.
- Rush to the bottom of the pool to retrieve the item you like, then enter the mirror tunnel at lightning speed to successfully complete the feat of grabbing treasure and escaping.
As long as they are fast enough and the scene is chaotic enough, and the three from Demon Sect, Sword Tower, and Black Valley are too late to stop them, or cannot stop everyone, someone among them will succeed!
"careful!"
Zhou Qingchen reminded softly.
He didn't expect that the dozen or so people who stayed behind could move in such a unified manner. The moment the divine light disappeared into the pool, they all ran towards the pool.
Of course, he also understood that the people on the platform would never let those people get what they wanted.
really!
Lan Xi was sitting cross-legged on a high platform. Her ordinary face showed a cold sneer, as if she was looking at a group of clowns.
She gave her skirt a shake.
Many colorful "魔" characters flew out from her skirt with a "whoosh" sound, and like many bloodthirsty butterflies, they fluttered towards anyone who dared to approach the box and the skirt.
In a flash, several people who fell into the pool with a "plop" had their bodies penetrated by the eye-catching "魔" characters.
The few people who entered the water suffered some kind of heavy blow, and they floated out of the water with their bellies facing the sky like dead fish.
When they emerged, their faces were filled with fear, and even after death it seemed that the terror was still infecting their hearts.
The dull man with a hoarse voice stared at the white jade porcelain vase in the pool from beginning to end, and suddenly a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
He was standing on the edge of the platform, with his palm facing the pool, speaking inaudible words.
From the depths of his palms, two dark halos emerged, like two bottomless, life-taking dry wells.
Whoever his palm was facing would spin around in the pool, until their flesh and bones were shattered.
The clear pool water was instantly stained with blood, and body parts and heads could be seen everywhere.
“What a hassle.”
Qi Qingsong sighed and pulled out the magic sword that had caused Pang Jian and Zhou Qingchen so much trouble.
“Swoosh! Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
Beams of dim white sword light fell on the people in the pool, and those who were cut by the sword light had their bodies torn into pieces like pieces of tofu.
Pang Jian's eyes were filled with horror and he couldn't help but take a deep breath. He felt that the dragon-patterned spear in his hand had become much heavier.
Lan Xi from the Demon Sect, Lin Beiye from the Black Valley, and Qi Qingsong from the Sword Tower, all of them had only reached the Marrow Cleansing Stage.
The way they killed those of the same realm was so relaxed and easy, as easy as killing a chicken or a dog.
"I knew it would be like this. You guys are a bunch of blind people. You deserve to die."
Luo Hongyan, who was watching silently, sneered and shook her head, saying: "It is naive and ridiculous to think that with more than a dozen people acting together, someone will be able to steal the treasure and escape."
Dong Tianze stood up on the high platform and wanted to join the battle, but found that those guys who fell into the water were suffering a one-sided massacre.
Some people were chopped into two by Qi Qingsong's sword before they even fell into the pool, and their limbs and belongings were scattered outside the pool.
Anyone who enters the pool will die prematurely, as they will not be able to touch the treasures in the pool.
In the clear four-cornered pool, corpses were floating, and blood quickly dyed the water red.
But the box at the bottom of the pool, the floating clothes, the silver spear, and even the white jade porcelain bottle were not stained with blood in the water. They were still so dazzling and shining.
This bizarre scene filled with blood made Dong Tianze frown slightly, and Leng Yuan behind him pursed his lips tightly.
After touching his nose, Dong Tianze sat down again.
He suddenly understood why those three guys could make people who knew the marks avoid them like snakes and scorpions just by the special marks on their bodies.
It turns out that they really don't need to go through a bloody massacre like I did before they can sit on the high platform.
Dong Tianze was still a little confused. He didn't understand why the three people could be so tacitly coordinated and start killing immediately when more than a dozen people were fighting for the rare treasure.
It was as if there were some unwritten rules within their respective sects.
"You two, do you really want to cooperate with that girl?"
After a cold snort, Luo Hongyan turned his head to look at Pang Jian and Zhou Qingchen, whose faces were uglier than each other, and thought that those guys were quite good at killing.
“Boom!”
The high platform where Qi Qingsong of the Sword Tower was standing suddenly exploded, blowing out numerous rocks of varying sizes.
Pang Jian suddenly looked over there.
Then they saw the girl in white clothes who was leaving them, with her hands raised high to the sky, as if she was holding up a huge object and spinning it.
“Crash! Bang, bang, bang!”
In the air above her head, all the broken rocks were spinning madly as if they were covered by a storm.
Qi Qingsong in the Sword Tower was also caught in a violent storm formed by broken rocks. He was being pulled by the terrifying magnetic field in the storm and was spinning in the air upside down.
The short girl seemed to be controlling the strange gravitational magnetic field and created a rock storm above her head.
Her eyes were full of coldness. She twisted her waist and turned in circles, causing a huge rock storm that made it impossible for Qi Qingsong to fly away or come down.
"It's your turn!"
She shouted coldly.
Pang Jian and the other man, who had been warned by Luo Hongyan, saw that she had single-handedly trapped Qi Qingsong in the rock storm, and without even a moment of hesitation, they rushed over like lightning.
"You two idiots, you didn't even know you were being used as a gun!"
Feeling that her efforts were in vain, Luo Hongyan stomped her feet and cursed.
"Qi Qingsong! Give me your life!"
Zhou Qingchen took the lead, raising a bag of poison powder and sprinkling it towards the rock storm. All the defensive power of the chest protector was withdrawn, and it turned into a deep red beam of light and blasted towards Qi Qingsong.
"Crack! Crack, crack!"
The rocks that were spinning with Qi Qingsong were crushed one by one by the deep red light column. Qi Qingsong, who was in the rocks, was also hit by the light column and blood came out of the corner of his mouth.
"call out!"
A spear like a flaming meteor shot into the rock storm behind the thick beam of light.
Qi Qingsong hurriedly blocked the spear thrown by Pang Jian with the magic sword in his hand, knocking it away.
“Swoosh! Swoosh!”
There were also short swords and sharp spikes, which were picked up by Pang Jian, infused with spiritual power, and thrown towards Qi Qingsong in the rock storm.
Zhou Qingchen tightly grasped the heart-protecting mirror, the spiritual power in his body circulated wildly, and he released the offensive side of the weapon to the fullest.
The refined spiritual power, after being blessed by numerous mirror arrays, turned into more violent beams of light and blasted out.
After the beam of light entered the rock storm, whenever it hit Qi Qingsong, he groaned and vomited blood in a state of weightlessness.
Pang Jian picked up a dragon-patterned spear or some other miscellaneous object and stabbed from the outside.
Soon Qi Qingsong was covered with bruises.
Not a single drop of his blood splashed out, but turned into blood mist in the rock storm, making the inside of the storm scarlet.
"The little girl is quite strong."
Luo Hongyan, whose persuasion was futile, was somewhat surprised to see the indifferent water girl in white creating a rock storm that could constantly change the gravity and magnetic field.
She finally believed that the girl in white was not lying and that she indeed had a fighting power equal to Qi Qingsong's.
Because she completely restricted Qi Qingsong's power, she could kill Qi Qingsong with just a few people around her.
Pang Jian and Zhou Qingchen naturally became her targets because of their previous violent actions against Qi Qingsong.
“They can really succeed.”
After watching for a while, Luo Hongyan knew that without external intervention, Qi Qingsong would soon be killed by the three men.
At this moment, Qi Qingsong, who was hanging in the air and unable to come down, was repeatedly beaten by Zhou Qingchen and Pang Jian in the rock storm. He couldn't help but curse at the top of his voice: "You son of a bitch Lin Beiye, how long are you going to see this?"
Luo Hongyan's face suddenly changed, and she shouted, "Pang Jian, come back!"
Zhou Qingchen was greatly shocked.
Even the girl in white who was controlling the rock storm and tightly restraining Qi Qingsong showed astonishment in her cold eyes because of Qi Qingsong's words.
"You're not dead."
Lin Beiye, who had been silent all this time and whose attention was focused on the white jade porcelain vase in the pool, answered impatiently.
"Mr. Zhou, return to Wulan Lake as soon as possible!"
"Pang Jian, let's go!"
Pang Jian and Zhou Qingchen almost told each other in unison that something serious was going to happen.
Pang Jian, who picked up the dragon-patterned spear again, and Zhou Qingchen, who had fully activated the defensive power of the heart-protecting mirror, rushed straight towards the mirror tunnel in tacit understanding!
The two of them no longer cared about what rare treasures were in the pool and just wanted to leave before Lin Beiye took action.
No matter how stubborn and impulsive Zhou Qingchen was, he knew that Lin Beiye of Black Valley and Qi Qingsong of Sword Tower had already reached a tacit understanding.
If the two of them join forces, they will all be dead, without any hope at all.
The only way for them to survive is to reach the mirror tunnel as soon as possible and leave without thinking about anything!
“Go!”
Pang Jian, who was determined to evacuate, glanced from afar at Luo Hongyan, who was standing under the high platform of Lan Xi of the Demon Sect, and urged her to leave quickly.
Luo Hongyan's hesitant gaze fell on the white jade porcelain bottle in the pool, floating with the flow of the water.
The white jade porcelain vase was very close to her.
"You two can go first. Don't worry about me. I'm a burden that no one cares about anyway."
Under Pang Jian's urging, Luo Hongyan ignored his advice as if she was angry.

Lao Ni's original intention in writing this traditional fantasy novel was that he had read too many novel system novels in recent years, and wanted to read a traditional fantasy novel about a young man upgrading and becoming stronger, but he found it increasingly difficult to find one.
Authors don’t seem to like writing traditional fantasy, and many readers are not willing to read it. The genre that was once the hottest has become a bit niche.
Brothers and sisters who have followed this far are still willing to read. Well, please believe me, the following will get better and better.
There will be five updates today, and the monthly votes will be doubled. I hope my supporting brothers will vote for more monthly votes.
Old Ni bows and thanks~
