Purgatory

Chapter 12

"I do not know either."

Pang Jian shook his head with a dazed expression.

He only remembered that the "Eye of Branding" had suddenly changed, and when he was searching the crowd for the message-infused person, the bronze medal left to him by his father suddenly became hot.

That's it.

Naturally, he would not tell his secret to anyone present, so he had no choice but to respond with ignorance.

"I don't know? The branded eye of Blood Moon wouldn't pick someone like you for no reason?" Shangguanqin refused to give up.

"Okay!" Zhou Qingchen coughed lightly, interrupting Shangguanqin's yelling, and said solemnly: "Pang Jian, did you see any other pictures next?"

"Other?"

Pang Jian thought about it seriously, and said: "The vines killed the practitioners of the Blood Moon, quickly devoured their flesh and blood, and then retracted back to the cracks in the ground. Just like now, the vines have eaten up all the people from the Shangguan family. Retracted underground."

Everyone's expressions became unsightly.

"Is there anything else?" Zhou Qingchen asked with a heavy heart.

"After that, the picture I saw again was that you rushed here first." Pang Jian replied.

As soon as these words came out, it meant a complete closed loop. The scenes that Pang Jian saw from the "Eye of Branding" were all experienced by Zhou Qingchen himself.

Young Master Zhou was pondering, recalling that Pang Jian was miraculously unaffected when the scream of magic sound broke out in the stone pile, and he was also favored by the "Eye of Branding".

He guessed that there must be something mysterious about Pang Jian that he couldn't see clearly, otherwise it couldn't be explained reasonably.

"It should be safe over there now."

When everyone was thinking about it, Pang Jian spoke again and said to Shangguan Qin: "If you go back now, you should be able to safely collect the remains of the deceased in your Shangguan family."

Shangguanqin's originally delicate and charming face was full of panic and helplessness. She hadn't come out of the panic, and said coldly: "I won't believe a word you said!"

She has a deep prejudice against Pang Jian, and she wants to find ways to capture Pang Jian and pry open the secrets in Pang Jian's heart.

Pang Jian didn't seem to see her prejudice, and said: "I would like to go back and bring back the things left behind by the servants of your Shangguan family."

The hatred in Shangguanqin's eyes didn't diminish at all, she gritted her teeth and said, "You are so kind?"

"You can go with me." Pang Jian suggested.

Shangguan Qin hesitated, his eyes showed hesitation, and quickly said coldly: "I don't believe you."

"What about you? Anyone who doesn't believe it, you can look back with me." Pang Jian looked at everyone.

Zhou Qingchen was surprised, when he was about to say that he was going to turn back with Pang Jian, he suddenly noticed Ning Yao's opening, so he kept silent.

"I'll accompany you."

Unexpectedly, Ning Yao, who had been silent all this time, actually spoke up on her own initiative.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Ning Yao explained indifferently: "It's not that I don't believe in Pang Jian, but I just think there is still danger there, and it would be more appropriate for me to accompany him."

"Xiaoyao, the situation over there is not clear yet, isn't it good for you to go back now?" Ning Yuanshan looked worried.

"It's okay, Pang Jian dared to go there, so what do I have to be afraid of?"

Ning Yao drove her war horse, first got very close to Pang Jian, then patted her war horse on the forehead, and whispered a few words in the war horse's ear.

Immediately afterwards, she straightened her slightly protruding breasts and sat upright, and suddenly said, "I'm on the same horse as you."

Regardless of Pang Jian's answer or not, she suddenly jumped up, gracefully landed behind Pang Jian, and rode with him on the same horse.

Between her and Pang Jian, there was a bamboo basket carried by Pang Jian, which just separated the two of them so that they would not be too close to each other.

Her two hands also rested on Pang Jian's waist naturally, urging: "Let's go."

Pang Jian's body and the expression on his face visibly stiffened.

Because when Ning Yao's hands fell to his waist, the spiritual power belonging to Ning Yao secretly surged in his palms, which showed that this girl had no good intentions at all.

The two of them sat on the same horse, not only did Pang Jian not enjoy it, but he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

"Why don't you leave?" Ning Yao whispered impatiently.

The spiritual power in her Bai Nenyu's hands became more violent and active, as if a dormant poisonous snake was about to swim out.

Pang Jian's heart felt cold, and without saying a word, he took the rein and rode his horse towards the place where Tianfeng's dead bones were.

"Miss Ning, I would like to remind you that Pang Jian is a guide who is familiar with the Cenji Mountains, and I like him very much, I hope you take good care of him." Zhou Qingchen shouted, "If you can't take care of him well, Uncle Yuanshan Here, we may not be able to take care of it well.”

Ning Yuanshan suddenly changed color.

He never expected that Zhou Qingchen would threaten his life for Pang Jian at this moment, so that Ning Yao would not kill Pang Jian.

"He is the guide invited by my Ning family. I know his importance. I don't need you to remind me, Master Zhou." Ning Yao snorted coldly.

Zhou Qingchen smiled and said, "That's good."

"Dengdeng!"

Amidst the sound of hooves, Pang Jian was riding a bay red horse and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Nephew Zhou Xian, Pang Jian is just a hunter in the mountains. As for fighting for him?"

After Ning Yao and Pang Jian left, Ning Yuanshan put on a bitter face, and said embarrassingly, "Using me to threaten Xiaoyao, isn't it a bit of a big deal?"

The rest of the people also found it difficult to understand, so they couldn't help but listen, wanting to know Zhou Qingchen's answer.

Even Han Duping and the servants of the Zhou family felt incredible because of Zhou Qingchen's special care for Pang Jian.

"It's the Orion you mentioned, who saved all of our lives just now!" Zhou Qingchen no longer was polite, and said with a stern expression: "Repaying your kindness, such a simple truth, do you still need me to teach you? If Without Pang Jian's timely reminder, our Zhou family, you and Ning Yao, really thought we could leave alive?"

Ning Yuanshan was so washed that he was speechless, he asked himself, and found that it was indeed his fault.

It's just because they are used to being superior and never put people with unequal status in their eyes, so they take everything for granted.

For example, Liu Qi, and those who followed them and died on the pile of stones.

In his opinion, Pang Jian was not even as important as Liu Qi, so he couldn't accept Zhou Qingchen threatening his niece with himself.

"It's not the little hunter that really works, but the branded eye of our blood moon!" Shangguanqin screamed angrily.

"Without him, the Eye of Branding will choose me. After I get the key information, I will also remind everyone to evacuate quickly. Moreover, if it is me who gets the news, Romon will not die, and neither will the rest of my Shangguan family." will die!"

In her heart, because Pang Jian was recognized by the "Eye of the Brand", she blamed Pang Jian for all the responsibility.

"Senior Shangguan."

Zhou Qingchen's face was slightly cold, and he stopped calling her "Aunt Qin", and scolded unceremoniously: "Why do you think that the branded eye should choose you? Although you have practiced the blood wheel kung fu of the blood moon, but You have not passed the blood moon test, you are not a blood moon practitioner at all!"

"You can practice Xuelun Gong only because the elders of your Shangguan family gave you this formula privately."

Zhou Qingchen, who was riding a pitch-black war horse with a tall and straight body, snorted and sneered again: "Even I don't think that the world should revolve around me, so why do you think you will be favored by the branding eye? "

"What are you talking about about our blood moon? Senior Shangguan, when will you be able to be truly entered into the genealogy book of the blood moon in the upper realm like me, and you will be qualified to say our word!"

Shangguanqin's face turned pale after being rushed by him.

She suddenly realized that although the Zhou family in front of her was always polite and called her "Aunt Qin", there was still a significant gap between the Shangguan family and the Zhou family behind her.

In addition, she was not recognized by Blood Moon, she was not recognized as a member of Blood Moon, and indeed she could not be called "We" by Blood Moon.

Zhou Qingchen is indeed one of the best geniuses in the Fourth Realm. He was recruited by Hongshan not long after he was born, and Zhou Qingchen's name was also entered in Hongshan's music book early on.

Her Shangguan family is not comparable to Zhou's family, she is also not comparable to Zhou Qingchen, and the power she has in front of her is also incomparable.

So, she could only forcefully suppress her anger, and fell silent helplessly.

……

the other side.

Pang Jian, who was stiff all over, always felt that Ning Yao's hands on his waist, as long as he uncontrollably spewed out spiritual power, his internal organs would be shaken to pieces.

Along the way, Pang Jian was sweating slightly on his forehead and was always in a state of tension.

"Pang Jian, you must remember that what you took was my Ning family's money, not his Zhou Qingchen's."

It was not until he was away from the sight of everyone that Pang Jian heard Ning Yao behind him, snorting coldly in his ear.

"When danger suddenly arises, you should tell me immediately, let us leave with you! You took my Ning family's money and rode my Ning family's war horse, and you were the first to remind Zhou Qingchen!"

Ning Yaoyu's hand was a little bit harder, pinching the flesh on both sides of Pang Jian's waist and abdomen, making Pang Jian gasp.

Grinning his teeth in pain, Pang Jian was afraid that Ning Yao's finger would spit out spiritual power, and he would die suddenly in the next moment.

Fortunately, Ning Yao just pinched him hard. Although he was in unbearable pain, he knew that Ning Yao was going to teach him a lesson this time, not really wanting his life.

"The gray ape is my friend. After I made it clear, Zhou Qingchen tried his best to keep it for me. You, and your uncle, didn't make a fuss." Pang Jian said in a deep voice.

"It's your friend, not mine, so what does it have to do with me?" Ning Yao sneered.

Pang Jian said no more.

Soon, the war horse returned to the cruel scene.

The strong and pungent smell of blood filled the space in front of them. After Pang Jian stopped, he immediately saw the tallest skeleton.

Xuelinlin's skeleton belonged to Romon, all viscera and flesh were lost, the bones were stained with blood, and the eyeballs were taken away by vines, the empty eye sockets were full of despair.

What the vines gnawed at was only flesh and blood. The utensils that Luo Meng and those Shangguan family members used to wear, the gold and silver objects worn on their bodies were not taken at all, and they were scattered beside the bones.

Ning Yao covered her nose, pushed Pang Jian, and said disgustedly: "Go and collect Shangguanqin's relics."

She loves cleanliness by nature, and feels that blood-stained objects are too disgusting, and she is unwilling to do it herself with Pang Jian around.

"it is good."

Pang Jian, who had been awakened for a long time, got off his horse, ignored the blood stains on the utensils, collected them and tied them with hemp rope.

Ning Yao never got off the horse, but stared at him, and at the dry bone and the Wuding ferry.

She always felt that Pang Jian's return must have his own plan, and it was definitely not out of kindness to do things for Shangguanqin.

"I'm going to take a look inside the Wuding Ferry." Pang Jian said suddenly.

Ning Yao thought about it, secretly thought that it was true, and asked pretending to be surprised: "No fixed ferry? The people who went to explore before have all died. Are you sure you want to go?"

Pang Jian nodded: "Those people will die because the branded eyes need blood. This is a bloody sacrifice. Now that the branded eyes are all extinguished, the cabin is of course safe."

After saying that, he made a gesture to go over.

"I'll go and see!"

Ning Yao dismounted suddenly, flew over those long and narrow gaps in the ground, and quickly headed towards Blood Moon's "Undecided Ferry".

She shouted in an unquestionable tone: "You stay here, if there is any change outside, you must notify me immediately!"

"Okay." Pang Jian frowned.

Ning Yao turned her head to see Pang Jian's dejected expression, and she became more and more convinced that there was a rare treasure left by the blood moon inside the "Uncertain Ferry", and that Pang Jian had learned about it through the "Eye of Branding", so she insisted on coming back.

"He's not big, but he has a lot of thoughts."

Ning Yao secretly muttered, thinking that this young man who doesn't talk much may have been wandering in the Cenji Mountains for a long time, fighting wits and courage with those old hunters, so he doesn't seem simple at all.
