Purgatory

Chapter 40 The Erratic White Tower

Pang Jian came here for the fourth phoenix bone.

There is a phoenix bone in Heishuitan, and another phoenix bone in Chonggu Valley, so the island in the center of the lake, which is also a restricted area, should also have fallen phoenix bones.

He has personally experienced the magic of phoenix marrow, knowing that there may be phoenix marrow condensed on the island in the middle of the lake, so he naturally wants to come here to try his luck.

"Who is controlling the Tianling Pagoda?"

Su Yuntian looked around, but he didn't see anyone appearing, so he hesitated again.

He and He Rong didn't know very well about the mystery hidden in the bones of the phoenix. They were afraid that the person who dispatched the "Tianling Pagoda" would deal a cruel blow when they went to the island.

"Here, it is very close to the boundary wall in the extreme north of the Denji Mountain Range."

Pang Jian looked at the majestic and continuous mountains behind Wulan Lake, trying to pass through those mountains and reach the strange world on the other side.

There is the northernmost part of this piece of land called Beiqi Broken Land.

The land of the extreme north is also close to the boundary wall in the northern part of the Fourth Realm, and it is also the source of the "strange fog".

Under the sky.

Ulan Lake is still light blue, and against the background of the steep mountains behind, the lake view is very beautiful.

But looking at the white tower above the island in the middle of the lake where hundreds of flowers are blooming, everyone looked a little dignified.

According to legend, every "Tianling Pagoda" from the Yinling Temple is made of dense bones.

In the upper third realm, Yinling Temple has almost no contact with other sects, nor does it select talents from the seven major families to lead into the sect, and has always kept it mysterious.

Su Yuntian, He Rong and the others don't know much about this sect, so they are more and more in awe.

After staring at the white tower on the island for a while, the two began to hesitate again, thinking whether they should go to the island or not.

Luo Hongyan, who saw what they were thinking, felt that it was still necessary to make the best use of everything, so she took the initiative to ask: "You two, please arrange your subordinates to weave a bamboo raft for the two of us."

Su Yuntian thought that she would not take all the items she searched all the way, and said with guilt in her heart: "Yes."

So he arranged for his subordinates loyal to the Su family to cut bamboo nearby and weave bamboo rafts from local materials.

"We should leave."

He Rong said suddenly.

Looking at the white pagoda wandering in the sky, he always felt that the island in the middle of the lake where the flowers were in full bloom was indescribably weird.

The water of Ulan Lake, even standing by the lake, felt icy cold, which made him very uncomfortable.

"The fourth phoenix bone is on the island, don't you all wonder what's inside?"

Luo Hongyan glanced at the two of them, and with an idea, said softly: "If you don't want to go, you can arrange two subordinates to go and find out."

He Rong's eyes brightened slightly.

He immediately ordered the servants of the He family to also cut bamboo and weave a few more bamboo rafts.

"The Tianling Pagoda is floating around, what is it doing?"

Su Meng wondered.

Su Yuntian and He Rong shook their heads. They knew that the "Tianling Pagoda" symbolized the Yinling Temple, but they didn't know the specific function of this pagoda.

"It's searching for souls."

Luo Hongyan gave the answer softly. She stared at the floating white tower and said, "Within a certain range, as long as there is a life with a soul, it will be sensed by it. Spirits, ghosts, ghosts, and so on, only spirits Those without flesh and blood will be absorbed by it and imprisoned."

When saying this, Luo Hongyan's tone was cold.

Pang Jian was secretly surprised. Ever since he arrived at Wulan Lake, he felt that something was wrong with Luo Hongyan.

The girl looked at the floating white tower with eyes full of hidden hatred and a trace of deep fear.

It was as if she had suffered a lot in the White Tower.

"Could it be that the corpses of the monks from the Yinling Temple in the stone pile caused heavy casualties to the Ning family?"

Pang Jian couldn't help thinking of the pile of rocks he encountered just after entering the Cenji Mountains.

Many corpses inside were dressed in blood moon costumes, which caused Han Duping to make a misjudgment, which led to the old incident that Zhou family and Ning family were attacked by "spiritual evil".

However, the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt.

The "Tianling Pagoda" of the Yinling Temple is now floating in Wulan Lake in the north of the Cenji Mountains, but the monks who came from the "Tianling Pagoda" died in the southernmost place wearing the clothes of the blood moon canyon.

The two places are hundreds of miles apart.

Pang Jian, who was suspicious, looked at the drifting white tower, quietly guarding in secret.

Not long after, the servants of Su and He wove a few bamboo rafts. Under the instructions of Su Yuntian and He Rong, four people rode a bamboo raft in twos and headed towards the island in the middle of the lake.

He Rong drank lightly: "If you find anything, please let us know as soon as possible!"

The four of them, full of uneasiness, nodded on the icy lake, looked at the island in the middle of the lake in fear, and felt that the island full of flowers was full of terror.

Bamboo rafts move slowly in the lake.

Pang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, looked away from the island in the middle of the lake, and looked at the lake in front of him.

The light blue lake water is very clear, but there are no fish and shrimp activities in the lake, and there are no mosquitoes and flies by the lake.

In the past, every time he came to Wulan Lake, it was not like this.

In the past, he only had to stare at Wulan Lake for a while, and he could see fishes and wild animals wandering nearby, and occasionally he could meet hunters in Linshan Town.

At this moment, everything in and around the lake seemed to disappear, and the whole world was silent.

Pang Jian stopped talking, Su He and the others remained silent, and Luo Hongyan followed suit.

After a brief silence.

The two bamboo rafts arrived at the island in the middle of the lake, and four monks at the Qi Refining Realm jumped off the bamboo rafts and began to move around in the forest on the island.

The "Tianling Pagoda" on the island continued to roar, seeming to fly over the heads of the four of them without any pause.

After that, everyone did not wait for any response.

Time passed quietly, half an hour, an hour passed, and the bamboo raft was still parked in place.

The four people who landed on the island disappeared as if out of thin air.

They didn't show their figures, and they didn't make a cry, as if no one had ever landed on the island.

"Brother Pang Jian, please show me the best way to leave the Cenji Mountains." Su Yuntian took a deep breath, his eyes showed determination, and shouted: "I decided to leave!"

"Father, I want to visit the island!"

Su Meng begged softly.

"To shut up!"

Su Yuntian kept a cold face, but this time he did not obey her, and said with an unquestionable attitude: "The Tianling Pagoda is active, and there are unknown guys secretly manipulating it on the island. The people in the Yinling Temple are all different types, and they are different from the other major sects. Never interact, let's not provoke them!"

He defaulted to the overhaul of the Yinling Temple, secretly controlled the "Tianling Pagoda", and killed the subordinate he and He Rong arranged to land on the island.

"We quit too!"

Seeing that he couldn't wait for his subordinates to return, He Rong made the same decision. Both of them looked at Pang Jian, hoping that he could show him the fastest way to leave.

Pang Jian looked at Luo Hongyan.

Luo Hongyan stretched her waist, pulled the nearest bamboo raft over, and said, "Let them alone."

Pang Jian pondered for a moment, reached out his hand and pointed to a position, and said, "Go straight to that mountain, don't try to climb it. At your speed, if you don't encounter any accidents, you can leave the Cenji Mountains in seven or eight days."

"Thank you!"

Su Yuntian clasped his hands together, and immediately ignored Su Meng's pleading face, pointed to the empty bamboo raft, and said to Luo Hongyan: "It can be seen that you two will definitely go to the island, I can only wish you all the best."

Luo Hongyan turned a deaf ear to it.

"Farewell!"

Su Yuntian then, together with He Rong, led a dozen subordinates who were loyal to them, and headed towards the position directed by Pang Jian.

"The direction you pointed won't kill them, right?"

After they left for a while, Luo Hongyan's expression softened a little, and his tone relaxed a lot.

"The direction is definitely okay, but you also know that there are dangers everywhere in the Cenji Mountains. I used to take that road often, and nothing happened to me. Now I don't know."

Pang Jian looked calm.

After finishing speaking, seeing that Luo Hongyan had no intention of leaving immediately, he wondered, "Not going to the island yet?"

Luo Hongyan was paddling the lake water with a piece of bamboo, without raising her head, she said: "Observe and observe. Maybe those four guys who went to the island will suddenly appear later and tell us some important news."

Pang Jian, who got a lot of spirit stones on the way, stopped talking and let her wait and see by the lake. He found another secluded place by himself and started the practice of "Hutian Yangqi Jue".

Like the cultivator of Blood Moon, the spirit stones he obtained from the corpses of the Star River Alliance were also pure and flawless.

The spiritual power in this kind of spiritual stone does not need to be washed and purified, nor does it need to be condensed again. After falling into the vortex of the dantian, it will flow into his spiritual sea.

His spiritual sea, which has been opened up to an unknown extent, has been gathering spiritual power, and it feels wider and wider.

Because he has a lot of spirit stones in his hands, and his body has been tempered twice by the phoenix marrow, his progress in Qi refining is actually very fast.

Above the dantian, he has experienced the feeling of aura filling the entire space seven or eight times.

From Luo Hongyan's point of view, once the spiritual energy is full, it represents the first level of Qi Refining Realm, so he may have reached a very high level in the early accumulation.

I don't know how long he had been cultivating, Pang Jian suddenly heard the sound of messy footsteps coming from the direction he directed.

He looked surprised.

After a while, I saw Su Yuntian and He Rong returning the same way with many of their subordinates.

"What did you encounter? There will be absolutely no problem with the direction I gave you. If there is an accident...it has nothing to do with me!" Pang Jian took the lead to clear the matter.

"Lingsha, and it's not a low-level spirit! We were attacked by them. There are many spirits there, and they are not easy to deal with. We can only retreat." Su Yuntian said awkwardly.

Pang Jian was taken aback, and suddenly thought of the "Lingsha" controlled by the witch in the stone pile, thinking that the witch is right in front?

"There are unknown dangers on the left and right, so I will go to the island with you!" He Rong gritted his teeth.

"Welcome to join us again."

Luo Hongyan smiled softly, and landed on a bamboo raft first, then stretched out a jade hand like a white lotus root to Pang Jian, and generously invited: "Come here, we two will go ahead and make a way for them in the lake."
