Chapter 137: Chapter 122 Misunderstanding_1

Cloud Marsh Town.

Zhu Yuanxi, who had reached the Innate Realm, was drinking and having fun, accompanied by Ouyang Quan.

Suddenly, a Blood Talisman at his waist began to act strangely.

Putting down his cup, Zhu Yuanxi pushed away the girl arranged by Ouyang Quan to accompany him. He clutched the Blood Talisman to sense its message, his expression slightly changing as he said, "Our people have run into trouble!"

Ouyang Quan sprang to his feet and exclaimed in alarm, "What happened?"

Roaming around Cloud Marsh, there were not only the Beast-Catching Ships of Blood Moon, but also the Cloud Sails of the major families.

Lately, these days, it was their people who were hunting down the remnants of the Dark Ghosts, causing many Individual Cultivators to suffer as well.

He could not imagine what kind of accident could have occurred.

"The Dark Ghosts’ Meng Qiulan, Zhao Ling, and a youngster named Hong Jian!"

After dropping this line, Zhu Yuanxi immediately dashed out of the stone building. With a few leaps, he arrived at the Raging Sun Sect’s Fire Cloud Ship.

"Brother Zhu, what’s the matter?"

Xiao Pei from the Raging Sun Sect, along with Dong Tianze and Su Hongfei, couldn’t help but look over in surprise.

They were discussing the topography of the nearby Fragment Land, contemplating how to evacuate and how to investigate the surrounding anomalies.

Seeing Zhu Yuanxi searching for them in such a hurry, they all felt it strange.

"Our people have encountered the remnants of the Dark Ghosts in Cloud Marsh, and they are several tough nuts to crack," said Zhu Yuanxi with an anxious demeanor. "I must ask Brother Xiao to immediately set sail on this Fire Cloud Ship to help me eliminate this future problem in Cloud Marsh!"

Dong Tianze asked in astonishment, "The Dark Ghosts are causing trouble again?"

Zhu Yuanxi gave a wry smile, "I did not expect it either."

He was not roaming Cloud Marsh along with Ni Chen because, aside from their Blood Moon’s Beast-Catching Ship, there were also the Cloud Sails of the major families active in the skies above Cloud Marsh.

Under these circumstances, all he heard were reports of the Dark Ghosts hiding and being continuously killed and captured by various parties.

Knowing that the powerhouses from the Raging Sun Sect, Star River Alliance, Blood Moon, and several major families had arrived at the Sky Fortune Fragment Land, he thought that the remnants of the Dark Ghosts would definitely not dare to show up.

Once the Filth Alien Power spread, those Dark Ghost remnants in hiding would ultimately turn into piles of dry bones.

Convinced that the Dark Ghosts were doomed to die, he did not take personal action and did not stay on the Beast-Catching Ship but instead remained in Cloud Marsh Town to communicate with Xiao Pei and Huang Ying at any time.

"Brother Zhu, they are just a bunch of jesters. Why should we mobilize our forces for this?"

Xiao Pei said with a smile, shaking his head.

"I hadn’t taken them seriously before, but among the three who came with me, another has been killed," Zhu Yuanxi replied, his brows furrowed. "I want to reach the battlefield as soon as possible; right now, only your Fire Cloud Ship and the Star River Alliance’s Golden Coach can get me there immediately."

Xiao Pei sighed, "Activating the Fire Cloud Ship each time consumes a considerable amount of Spirit Jade."

Zhu Yuanxi said, "I am willing to bear the cost!"

"Very well."

Only then did Xiao Pei nod in agreement.

At that moment, Zhu Yuanxi’s Blood Talisman transmitted another message, "Old Zhu, Qi Yue is also dead! I, I fear I am..."

The brilliance of the Blood Talisman suddenly went out.

Xiao Pei, Dong Tianze, and Su Hongfei, who had heard the message that Zhu Yuanxi deliberately released, also changed complexion.

The remnants of the Dark Ghosts hidden in Cloud Marsh had always been insignificant in their eyes, and they had not planned to cooperate with Blood Moon to eradicate them.

After all, it was the Blood Moon’s Beast-Catching Ship that the Dark Ghosts plundered and Blood Moon’s people they killed, which had nothing to do with them.

Now that a Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivator from Blood Moon had faced danger deep within Cloud Marsh, it surprised them.

"Something is not right."

Dong Tianze decisively used a Secret Skill to communicate with the person in charge of the Cloud Sail, urging them to rush to Blood Moon’s Beast-Catching Ship as quickly as possible to find out what was happening.

"Activate the Fire Cloud Ship!"

Xiao Pei issued the order first, then instructed Su Hongfei, "Go to that Golden Coach and relay a message to Huang Ying of the Star River Alliance, simply say that a ferocious member of the Dark Ghosts is causing trouble in Cloud Marsh."

"Alright!"

Su Hongfei sprang into action.

...

In a corner of Cloud Marsh.

The Astonishing Spear had pierced through Ni Chen’s breastbone, causing this Marrow Cleaning Realm powerhouse of Blood Moon to collapse faceup in a pool of his own blood.

Pang Jian, who had ambushed Ni Chen with the "Astonishing Edge", slowly crouched down, looking at a shining red Talisman Paper.

In his final moments, Ni Chen was still clutching the paper tightly, yelling into it to send a message.

"He was still able to send a voice message."

Without any courtesy, Pang Jian took the Talisman Paper and the storage bag at Ni Chen’s waist, claiming them for himself.

The deaths of Zhao Muye and Ni Chen convinced him that the Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivators from the Fourth Realm and Third Realm were simply courting death if they tried to duel him alone.

Even Dong Tianze, the ferocious and brutal figure, dares to come down from the Yin Spirit Temple, Pang Jian was confident in slaying him.

Looking up at the night sky, he saw the deep red moon that had suppressed him and people like Zhao Ling now appeared torn and tattered.

While pursuing Ni Chen, he had noticed Spirit Evils flying in the sky, tearing apart the Blood Moon’s Forbidden Technique that was enveloping them.

Inside the Beast-Catching Ship, the cries of Blood Moon Cultivators could still be heard. There were members of Blood Moon, screaming in fear and despair about being attacked by the Yin Spirit Temple, who suddenly jumped from the ship.

In mid-air, they were infiltrated by Spirit Evils and, having no Spiritual Power to protect their bodies, they crashed to the ground dead.

"They arrived quite fast,"

muttered Pang Jian.

The disturbance of the Spirit Evils was naturally under the control of Luo Hongyan, he had also seen a familiar figure drift towards the Beast-Catching Ship earlier.

At that moment, he knew that a one-sided slaughter was inevitable.

"Spirit Evil!"

"I saw the Spirit Evil!"

"There are people from Yin Spirit Temple!"

At the edge of the marsh, Zhao Ling and the other two who had jointly killed Qi Yue were excitedly looking at the sky-bound Beast-Catching Ship.

They saw several Spirit Evils descend alongside the Blood Moon cultivators jumping off the Beast-Catching Ship, infiltrating into the bodies of those Blood Moon cultivators, causing the ones who landed to die instantly.

Only those from the Yin Spirit Temple knew how to refine Spirit Evils; the higher the cultivation realm, the stronger the Spirit Evils one could refine.

The appearance of the Spirit Evils, the shattering of the deep red moon in the sky, and the tragic death of the Blood Moon cultivators brought a thought to their minds.

——The Ghost Leader had not abandoned them!

After learning from Yang Yuansen that the Ghost Leader was a cultivator from the Yin Spirit Temple, the others were suddenly excited.

"Whoosh!"

After being stationary for a while, the Blood Moon’s Beast-Catching Ship suddenly roared back to life.

Everyone looked up, watching the Beast-Catching Ship with unstoppable momentum crash into an incoming Cloud Sail, causing the people on the Cloud Sail to roar and curse in anger.

With a thunderous crash, the Cloud Sail was struck by the Beast-Catching Ship and plummeted to the ground, killing an unknown number of people.

The Beast-Catching Ship, controlled by an unnamed individual, did not care about the fragmentation of its hull as it charged toward another Cloud Sail.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three consecutive Cloud Sails were exploded into pieces in mid-air by the collision with the Beast-Catching Ship, and many people from the seven major families cursed the Blood Moon for madness.

In the end, the Beast-Catching Ship also exploded with a bang and vanished from sight.

"This..."

Wu Yi gazed blankly into the night sky at the disappearing Beast-Catching Ship and said, "The person who saved us is unbelievably strong! Controlling the Spirit Evils, he slaughtered so many Blood Moon cultivators and even commandeered their Beast-Catching Ship, causing the supporting Cloud Sails to burst one after another!"

"Only an extraordinary person would dare take action at such a time!"

Zhao Ling was also amazed.

As she spoke, she heavily stomped on the deceased Qi Yue’s face, crushing the distorted face until the bones were broken.

"Such scum as you, daring to covet my intentions!"

Looking at Qi Yue’s face, which was beyond recognition, she finally relieved her anger and said, "Even if I ended up dying here in Cloud Marsh, I have no regrets now. At least the Ghost Leader made an effort!"

"We misunderstood the Ghost Leader."

Meng Qiulan lamented with shame.

They all took the presence of the Spirit Evils to be Han Zhiyuan’s arrangement, believing that Han Zhiyuan had used the power of the Yin Spirit Temple to come to Cloud Marsh and rescue them.

"It’s a pity the Beast-Catching Ship was destroyed; that person should have used the Beast-Catching Ship to pick us up and take us away from Sky Fortune Fragment Land." Wu Yi said with regret.

"Difficult. With Raging Sun Sect’s Fire Cloud Ship and Star River Alliance’s Golden Coach present, it’s extremely difficult for the Beast-Catching Ship to break through successfully." Meng Qiulan shook her head.

While they were talking, Pang Jian stepped through the high grass and appeared before them.

"That person is dead."

Pang Jian spoke calmly, arriving at the remains of Zhao Muye and found the man’s storage bag.

"I knew he would never escape."

Zhao Ling wasn’t surprised at all, her face showing a smile of having survived a disaster, she said, "Hong Jian, I have good news for you. The Ghost Leader hasn’t abandoned us. We saw the Spirit Evils!"

Meng Qiulan also explained, "Yang Yuansen said the Ghost Leader... comes from the Yin Spirit Temple."

"Yin Spirit Temple..."

Pang Jian was speechless.

The one Luo Hongyan hated the most was Yin Spirit Temple, yet now Zhao Ling and others mistook her for a powerful support from Yin Spirit Temple arranged by the Dark Ghost Leader.

"Ni Chen, hold on, we are on our way!"

"On this mission, we have Xiao Pei from the Raging Sun Sect, Huang Ying from the Star River Alliance, as well as people from the Dong Family, Su Family, and Ouyang Family. We are all coming aboard the Fire Cloud Ship and the Golden Coach!"

"Even if the Dark Ghost Leader himself comes, they will undoubtedly die!"

"..."

The voice of Zhu Yuanxi kept coming through the red Talisman Paper in Pang Jian’s hand.

The Dark Ghosts who were still elated a moment ago were watching the red Talisman Paper in Pang Jian’s hand, the joy on their faces slowly fading away.

The shadow of death once again enveloped them, making them feel so suffocated they couldn’t breathe, unable to see any possibility of survival.

"Xiao Pei, an Innate Realm cultivator from the Raging Sun Sect. Huang Ying, an Innate Realm cultivator from the Star River Alliance. The one speaking should be Zhu Yuanxi, an Innate Realm cultivator from Blood Moon. These three often travel to the Fourth Realm; we Dark Ghosts have their information," Meng Qiulan sighed and looked in the direction of the Beast-Catching Ship’s crash site, "With these three, the powerful reinforcement arranged by the Ghost Leader may not be a match after all!"

Pang Jian’s expression darkened as well.

He hadn’t truly dealt with Great Cultivators of the Innate Realm level, so he wasn’t aware of the depth of their strength.

As Luo Hongyan’s combat power grew day by day with the forging of her fleshly body, if she were to face the Innate Realm Great Cultivators from the Upper Realm, Pang Jian didn’t know how much of a chance she had.

Suddenly, Pang Jian saw the Spirit Evil Fei Zheng, refined by Luo Hongyan, abruptly appear in the night sky.

The Spirit Evil even pointed him in a direction.

"We can’t stay here long; follow me and leave immediately."
