Another voice of Li Jie sounded inside Pang Jian's body.
He reminded Pang Jian to return to the alley and use the darkness of the fifth realm to avoid Yuan Shishan so as not to be affected.
Pang Jian's eyes showed astonishment. He took a deep look at Li Jie on the high platform, nodded slightly, and pulled Luo Hongyan back.
Luo Hongyan looked at him in confusion.
Pang Jian said softly, "Follow me."
"oh."
Luo Hongyan didn't ask anything and just followed him to retreat, no matter what he wanted to do.
Pang Jian immediately felt a liking for him.
Ever since Li Jie realized something was wrong in the pool and advised them to leave for the first time, Luo Hongyan insisted on leaving as soon as possible.
He first returned to the darkness to inform the girl named Li Yuqing, which delayed him for a while.
During this time, Luo Hongyan stayed where he was and waited.
After he came back, due to his curiosity and the recent surge in strength, he stayed longer under the drag of Luo Hongyan.
This also led to Yuan Shishan, the lord of Bagua City, walking out of the copper box and temporarily sealing the mirror tunnel.
It also caused Luo Hongyan and him to be in trouble.
However.
From beginning to end, Luo Hongyan did not blame him at all, nor did she complain about his staying, which put the two of them in such a situation.
Soon, Pang Jian brought her to an alley shrouded in darkness.
Luo Hongyan didn't say a word. She let him pull her and accompanied him back to the place where the Jingzhi Gun once stayed.
When he stopped, Luo Hongyan sighed, got rid of his pull, and said with a smile: "Pang Jian, I can only stay here. I can't bear the power in the darkness."
She already knew Pang Jian's intention.
Pang Jian was stunned.
"I can't help it. You and I are different after all."
Luo Hongyan shook her head, her beautiful eyes revealing dejection: "Not everyone can adapt to the darkness of the fifth realm like you. Once I go deep into it, it won't be long before my soul will be infected and dissipated."
Pang Jian suddenly remembered what Li Yuqing said.
It is said that after he broke into the darkness, Luo Hongyan tried to follow him, but was forced to retreat because she could not bear the dirty alien power.
Pang Jian pondered for a moment and said, "The man named Yuan Shishan's main target is not us. I can exert my strength to the greatest extent here."
Luo Hongyan smiled and nodded: "So I came with you."
“Wow!”
The pool water suddenly flew into the air and floated above Yuan Shishan's head as if in another strange time and space.
Yuan Shishan smiled indifferently, and landed on another platform together with the shabby copper box.
He walked out of the copper box and looked up. The pool of water, like the water of the sky, filled half of the courtyard.
"Back then, I accepted the spiritual food they offered as tribute because I was quite proficient in the ways of spirits and ghosts."
Yuan Shishan spoke as if reminiscing about the past.
Countless soul shadows gradually appeared in the sky and water above his head, becoming clearer from blurry.
Demon Sect’s Lan Xi, Black Valley’s Lin Beiye, Galaxy Alliance’s Jian Yaoyang…
One after another, the souls of Pang Jian and Luo Hongyan, some familiar and some unfamiliar, emerged in the water.
The eerie and strange aura was released through the sky and water, filling every space in the mansion.
Pang Jian suddenly felt as if he had returned to the top floor of the Tianling Tower and stood in front of the skull-shaped soul formation.
"This is the real ghost!"
Luo Hongyan's expression changed slightly.
She stood side by side with Pang Jian and gently pushed him, signaling him to return to the darkness. She whispered, "Since this City Lord Yuan Shishan is driving the souls of those who have experienced the calamity, I may be able to hold on for a while."
Pang Jian didn't move, but frowned and looked up into the air.
“Swoosh!”
Two streams of water in the pools wrapped up the souls of Lan Xi and Lin Beiye, like two branches of the River Styx, flying towards Li Jie from the left and right.
Yuan Shishan smiled and said, "Let me see what's different about this robbery."
"good."
Li Jie swung his hands left and right, and rings flew out from his fingers.
The ring inlaid with various gemstones and jades shone with dazzling brilliance, floating in the air above Li Jie's head.
Some rings, as they fly away, exude the power to cleanse the dirt of heaven and earth, while others are so bright and brilliant that they seem to have condensed into mountains, rivers and land.
Some rings even set off a raging sea of fire.
The rings thrown out by Li Jie released various magical powers. Not only did they splash the stream and river containing the souls of Lan Xi and Lin Beiye into countless water droplets, they also went towards the area of water that was like a sky curtain.
"Boom! Boom!"
The water in the sky suddenly exploded, and the pool water was like a silver dragon waterfall, with most of it falling into the pool or on the surrounding stone slabs.
"It is indeed the Tianbao Li family."
Yuan Shishan snorted and said, "Three thousand years have passed, and the Li family is still prosperous, and each of the clan members is more outstanding than the other. If I am not mistaken, you should have chosen the path of refining weapons in the Li family."
"Tianbao Li family, refining equipment..."
Pang Jian suddenly looked towards the darkness.
The girl's surname was also Li, and she also said that within her family, there were two paths to choose from.
One path focuses on spiritual practice, while the other requires refining various types of rare treasures and spiritual tools.
He immediately guessed the girl's identity.
"Tianbao Li Family!"
Luo Hongyan said in a low voice with a strange light in her eyes.
Pang Jian was surprised: "Have you heard of this family too?"
Luo Hongyan nodded gently and said, "The Tianbao Li family is well-known in the upper realm."
"You're right. I didn't like fighting and killing since I was a child, so I chose the path of refining weapons." Li Jie admitted frankly, and said angrily: "But I didn't expect that refining weapons also requires realm coordination! If not, I wouldn't come to this fifth Tongtian Jie Pillar to talk to a guy like you who has been dead for three thousand years."
"Who said I was dead?!"
"You reappeared with the blood and bones of your descendants, with the branded soul seeds, and through the method of resurrection, but you are still just a remnant soul. A remnant soul is a remnant soul. As long as the soul is incomplete, it is still a ghost."
Li Jie sneered and said sarcastically, "Yuan Shishan, do you think that the old guys who can make Bagua City disappear overnight are all fools?"
"You can have a trace of spiritual remnant, and a remnant soul that has not been extinguished until now, just because this Bagua City needs a formation eye!"
"The box that holds your residual soul is the core of the Bagua City. If you have a little spirituality, they will give you a glimmer of hope, because Bagua City needs a weapon soul in the core of the formation!"
"How can you, Yuan Shishan, the lord of a remote city in the Second Realm, escape their elaborate plan?"
Li Jie was too lazy to waste words with him, so he used the most brutal way to reveal the cruelest truth.
Yuan Shishan, who was in high spirits and thought that it was thanks to his planning that the soul seed was preserved and that he had finally waited for the soul seed to blossom and bear fruit, was suddenly stunned when he heard this.
His heroic image and the gentle smile on his face gradually became distorted and terrifying.
"It's only because they need it, it's only because Bagua City needs it, that I can have a little spirituality..."
Yuan Shishan rubbed his head in confusion with his hands, which had regained flesh and blood, and his expression became more and more frightening.
A moment later.
"I don't believe it!"
"I, Yuan Shishan, am clearly alive! I can still reappear in the world!"
"My Bagua City will definitely be able to escape from the fifth Heaven-reaching Tribulation Pillar and return to the Second Realm!"
"Crash! Crash!"
The water in the pool flowed on the stone floor, and the souls of those who had died in the disaster suddenly spread everywhere wrapped in the water.
The pond water seemed to have become the bodies of ghosts and spirits, turning them into translucent foreign objects in the water.
Such foreign objects were also heading towards Pang Jian and Luo Hongyan.
More foreign objects and pool water climbed upwards frantically along the high platform where Li Jie was.
“This is my Bagua City!”
Yuan Shishan shouted angrily, and all the artifacts left behind by the monks from various walks of life that had sunk to the bottom of the pool and outside the pool flew up because of his shout.
Sword, vase, feather fan, shield.
Every artifact suddenly glowed with vitality, as if it had drunk enough of the rich spiritual energy in the mansion, instantly submerging Li Jie.
"Bang!"
The platform where Li Jie was sitting suddenly exploded.
The pool water that flowed up from the high platform, and the foreign objects in the pool water, mixed with many artifacts, put the robber from the "Tianbao Li Family" in a tight situation.
"Qilin Bell!"
Li Jie shook his hands, and saw a large blue-gray bell floating above his head, shining with a blue light.
On the wall of the bell, a Qilin appeared vividly, roaring at the attacking foreign creatures.
The foreign object made of pool water exploded like bubbles under the roar of the Qilin. The green light released by the bronze bell also covered Li Jie underneath, protecting him from the bombardment of various objects.
"You two should leave quickly."
While standing under the Qilin Bell, Li Jie still had time to wave at Pang Jian, urging Pang Jian to retreat back into the dark alley.
“Swoosh! Swoosh!”
Suddenly, a magic sword and a bone hammer appeared, and Yuan Shishan pointed them casually and shot them towards Pang Jian and Luo Hongyan.
Seeing that Luo Hongyan was still beside him, Pang Jian did not hesitate for a moment. He immediately shook the Jingzhi Gun, quickly drawing a dark halo in front of him.
The Silver Moon Ring turned into the Black Moon Ring. The ring was filled with darkness and overflowing with the filthy alien power of the fifth realm.
The spirit sword and bone hammer instantly fell into the black ring.
The power of the weapon controlled by the city lord Yuan Shishan was far beyond that of Yuan Lengshan and the black ring exploded with a "bang".
Pang Jian, who was holding the Jingzhen Gun, was also hit by this terrifying power and fell into darkness.
"Pang Jian!"
Luo Hongyan screamed and was about to rush into the alley to check, but suddenly she remembered the filthy supernatural power in the darkness.
So she had no choice but to stare into the darkness.
"I'm fine!"
Pang Jian responded in the darkness, but his voice could not penetrate out and Luo Hongyan could not hear it.
She still anxiously asked through the darkness: "Pang Jian, how are you?"
Pang Jian, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, immediately stood up, casually wiped the blood stains on his mouth, and was about to return to the light to resist the next wave of attacks from Yuan Shishan.
Yuan Shishan, who has returned to life through a corpse, may only have a remnant soul, but the power he can display is definitely not comparable to that of Dong Tianze, Lan Xi and others.
“Hmm!”
Just as he was about to step out of the darkness, he sensed something strange in his body.
The filthy strange power that filled his spiritual sea was strongly pulled by an object and went straight to his chest.
Among the filthy and strange forces, there are two auras with extremely obvious characteristics, namely corrosion and destruction.
This is also the source of the two evil power waterfalls that constitute his "Earth Demonic Art".
At this moment, these two powerful evil forces within the filthy alien force were escaping into his chest along the meridians.
Flowing towards that ancient bronze plaque!
The bronze door that was always tightly closed was now in a half-open state that it had never been in before!
Pang Jian, who was in the darkness of the fifth realm, picked it up and placed it in front of his eyes, and immediately saw a spectacular scene.
Inside the bronze door, there was thick gray fog, which seemed to be the "strange fog" that terrified all practitioners in the world.
Four strange objects are floating in the depths of the thick "strange fog".
A strange black snake, a beehive, a vine tree like a sapling, and a black turtle the size of a palm.
The black strange snake appeared to be several times larger than the other three creatures, and was greedily absorbing the corrosive and destructive power of the fifth realm.
Like swallowing tiny streams and rivers.
