Chapter 535: Chapter 509: Joining Forces to Build the Tower_1

Hongdu Fragment Land, the dense forests of the north.

Dong Tianze had sacrificed the Yin Spirit Blood Halberd, and under the siege of the Gui Sacrificial Sect cultivators, he had used his overwhelming methods to kill three Soul Wandering Realm cultivators in quick succession and successfully broke through the encirclement.

The chilling air around Dong Tianze filled his eyes with a fierce glow as his mind and the Yin Spirit Blood Halberd became one.

"Hiss!"

A muddied blood river, and alongside it, a green ghastly river of souls, flanked the Yin Spirit Blood Halberd on either side, swallowing the blood and souls of three Gui Sacrificial Sect cultivators.

The Yin Spirit Blood Halberd suddenly let out a mournful wail like the screams of lost souls.

Above, Dong Tianze appeared like an evil demon in the world, using his will to suppress the souls of the Gui Sacrificial Sect cultivators that had been devoured.

He was also a Soul Wandering Realm cultivator, yet Dong Tianze exterminated these three with apparent ease.

"What a ruthlessly fierce young man."

In the high-flying ship, Xing Heng, who hadn’t been paying much attention, looked down toward the direction where the Yin Spirit Blood Halberd had disappeared.

He spoke with a somber expression, "After the death of the master of the Yin Spirit Temple, this sect from the Third Realm exists in name only. Yet, this young man has not only cultivated to the mid-stage of the Soul Wandering Realm but also managed to kill Fan He’s three men."

He had some impression of the name Dong Tianze.

In the rankings of the Spirit Condensation Realm, Dong Tianze had once been at the forefront, representing the cultivators from the Third Realm.

Those ranked above him were all from major sects from the First and Second Realms.

Now, Dong Tianze had cultivated to the Soul Wandering Realm and had managed to easily breach the encirclement of three of his, Xing Heng’s, fellow Gui Sacrificial Sect disciples.

And he had actually killed three of his fellow disciples!

What audacity!

A lower realm youngster with no significant background to rely on after the destruction of his sect dared to strike and kill their Gui Sacrificial Sect members; this was utterly outrageous!

"Qian Bo, Yang Ronghao, you two go down."

Xing Heng, with the conduct of the Immortal Realm, signaled to the two behind him, saying, "Remember, leave a living witness."

Two Great Cultivators of the Extinction Realm, a level above Dong Tianze, immediately flew out upon receiving their orders.

This ship, flying the banner of the "Gui Sacrificial Sect," also began to move slowly northward from the Fragment Land, heading to where Dong Tianze had disappeared.

Moments later, the old man with the hooked nose reappeared in the empty valley.

"Coalesce blood into beads!"

He reached out his left hand, gathering the blood mist in the valley, and condensed it into a semi-transparent dark red bead, revealing the escaping Dong Tianze in the forest.

Within the bead, Dong Tianze was navigating through the forest, wielding the Yin Spirit Blood Halberd.

"Indeed, He has marked a worthy saint."

Looking at Dong Tianze within the bead, the old man laughed with satisfaction, "With the cultivation of the Soul Wandering Realm, killing three of the same rank from the Gui Sacrificial Sect with such ease."

"What’s truly precious is that he didn’t hesitate at all, showing no concern for the sect of the Gui Sacrificial Sect," he mused.

"Truly a rare and exceptional talent."

The old man, who had used various schemes to lure Dong Tianze to this place and secretly drawn the powerful Gui Sacrificial Sect here, was pleased no matter how he looked at Dong Tianze.

Looking at two other Extinction Realm Great Cultivators from the Gui Sacrificial Sect appearing inside the bead, his smile deepened, "A whole realm higher, and there are two of you; let’s see how you handle this."

"Once you’re gravely injured, barely able to hold on, you will inevitably start to cultivate the Blood God Skill."

"Once you start practicing it, you’ll realize the marvels of the Blood God Skill and will inevitably become engrossed."

"By then, your identity as the saint of the Blood Spirit Sect will be confirmed."

He had gone through great lengths to force Dong Tianze into cultivating the Blood God Skill so that he would sink deeper and deeper, eventually becoming the saint leading the Blood Spirit Sect.

...

Within the forest.

"Extinction Realm, two of them."

Dong Tianze, who was flying with the Yin Spirit Blood Halberd, didn’t look back, feeling the two powerful presences behind him through the Phoenix Seal between his eyebrows.

He realized that the Gui Sacrificial Sect would not let things go easily.

"I have not practiced the sorceries of the Blood Spirit Sect, nor do I have any connections with it, yet the Gui Sacrificial Sect insists on targeting me," he thought.

Glancing at the clear sky, his gaze lingered briefly in the direction of the Pure Land.

Through the Phoenix Seal between his eyebrows, he could establish a connection with Pang Lin, and he wondered if revealing his identity as a Heavenly Phoenix Guard, with Pang Lin’s influence in the Pure Land, could he suppress the Gui Sacrificial Sect?

If Pang Lin knew about it, then Pang Jian would definitely find out as well.

Pang Jian!

Just thinking of Pang Jian ignited a furious rage in his heart.

Previously, in times of danger, he would instinctively seek help from Pang Lin through the Phoenix Seal, but this time he decided against using it and chose not to communicate with Pang Lin.

"I will solve my own problems."

...

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

A streak of crimson light, followed by two deep shadows, streaked across the sky in succession.

In a clearing in the forest where individual cultivators gathered to trade, a group of them watched the passing lights and began to whisper among themselves.

"The Gui Sacrificial Sect has labeled Dong Tianze a remnant of the Blood Spirit Sect, and they’re not taking their eyes off him."

An informed cultivator exclaimed in admiration, "That Dong Tianze is indeed impressive, after all, he once ranked at the top of the Spirit Condensation Realm. Now, with his cultivation at the mid-stage of the Soul Wandering Realm, he’s said to have first killed three Soul Wandering Realm members of the Gui Sacrificial Sect, and he’s still entangled in a fight with two members from the Gui Sacrificial Sect’s Extinction Realm!"

"It seems like the Gui Sacrificial Sect is trying to capture him alive, but time and again they’ve failed."

Another voiced their surprise, "The leader of the Yin Spirit Temple is dead, and most of the Spirit Condensation Realm elders have fallen in battle. How dare he go after people from the Gui Sacrificial Sect without any support?"

"Even if Han Zhiyuan were alive, could he give him any backing? The ones he killed were people from a major sect in the First Realm!" a third person exclaimed.

"He won’t be able to escape. Targeted by the Gui Sacrificial Sect and without the backing of an equally powerful sect, what can he alone use to fight against the Gui Sacrificial Sect?"

"Yeah, his capture, dead or alive, is just a matter of time."

"..."

The crowd was abuzz with conversation.

In the midst of the crowd, Huang Qi, with shifty eyes, quietly listened while smoking a dry pipe before leaving the dense forest.

Hongdu City.

After entering the city, Huang Qi went straight to "Wind Listening Tower," a place known for selling information, and asked Lin Miaojin, the person in charge, "Does Elder Xu Yu from the Sword Tower also purchase information from you?"

"Our modest Wind Listening Tower doesn’t warrant the attention of Elder Xu Yu. Only the people under the Elder come to us for information," Lin Miaojin replied with a smile. "Huang Qi, why do you ask?"

"Pass on a message for me, to that person under the Elder. Tell them, Dong Tianze, the friend of Pang Jian, is currently being hunted by the Gui Sacrificial Sect in the northern forests of Hongdu Fragment Land." Huang Qi took out two hundred Spirit Jade and placed them in front of Lin Miaojin, saying, "Send the message now."

"Alright!"

...

Cloud Wilderness.

Zhou Qingchen, Qi Qingsong, and others, along with Pang Jian, cut down trees and began constructing a new wooden tower not far from Pang Jian’s cabin.

"Why do you youngsters insist on doing this yourselves? The families allied with our Sword Tower have plenty of skilled craftsmen. All I need to do is give the word, and they would take care of it," Yao Junhong said before asking with a puzzled look, "By the way, who exactly will this new wooden tower belong to?"

Three days earlier, Pang Jian had suddenly decided to build a new wooden tower.

Zhou Qingchen, Qi Qingsong, along with Zhuang Yuyan and Hu joined in on the construction after coming over to chat with him. They chatted away while chopping wood and constructing the tower, busily enjoying themselves.

Li Yuqing would also control the Sky-splitting Sword to cut down some trees and send them over.

Even Wu Sujin from the Pure Land took an active part in the construction of the tower, no longer clashing with Li Yuqing.

A group of the most talented geniuses in the whole Purgatory World, with the highest aptitude for cultivation, were neglecting their proper duties, instead working together to build a wooden tower.

Yao Junhong expressed his incomprehension.

"Shifu, we’d rather you not meddle in the affairs of us younger folks. Go enjoy a cool breeze somewhere else," Qi Qingsong jested as he shooed him away.

"I can’t be bothered with you all," Yao Junhong floated away.

Only when he had disappeared from sight did Qi Qingsong reveal a grin, asking, "Pang Jian, when will our sister... arrive?"

Pang Jian glanced at Wu Sujin.

"In about ten days, the Thunder Cave Heavens would have stabilized. By then, she will come through the Space Teleportation Array and enter directly into the Thunder Cave Heavens for cultivation."

Wu Sujin felt a peculiar emotion stir within her, saying, "Panshi Fragment Land is in the Second Realm, close to the Saint Spirit Continent. It’s not suitable for her to be exposed for long. After she arrives, she will directly enter the Thunder Cave Heavens too, so there’s no need for you to build a new wooden tower specifically for her."

Upon hearing that Pang Lin was coming, Pang Jian suddenly decided on a whim to build a pavilion for her.

Right next to his own cabin.

When Qi Qingsong, Zhuang Yuyan, Zhou Qingchen, and Hu, who came looking for Pang Jian, learned that Pang Jian actually had a sister who would soon arrive, they happily joined the construction.

Wu Sujin watched this group of young people, just like her, being moved emotionally. Seeing Pang Jian already treating the never-before-met Pang Lin as his own sister stirred something tender within her heart.

"I won’t let her hide forever."

Back to Wu Sujin and busy at work, Pang Jian asserted, "For now, she is protected by your Pure Land. In a few years, I will ensure her safety, even if the Old Thunder Dragon from the Dragon Cave dares to come close, I won’t allow him to approach Pang Lin."

Wu Sujin remained silent.

Looking at Pang Jian’s back, she felt the force of his words and suddenly believed that in a few years, Pang Lin’s brother might indeed be able to let her move freely in the Purgatory World.

And not have to be constantly fearful of threats from the Old Dragon of the Dragon Cave.

Two days later.

A five-story wooden tower stood next to Pang Jian’s cabin, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

He thought about going to purchase some tables, chairs, and cabinets later on; Pang Lin could move right in after coming out of the Thunder Cave Heavens.

He himself could be easygoing, choosing any old cultivator’s cabin to cultivate in, but for his sister Pang Lin, he wanted to provide the best conditions possible.

"Buzz Buzz!"

The Sword Command buzzed with an urgent message.

Upon holding it, he learned that in the northern forests of Hongdu Fragment Land, a Great Cultivator from the Gui Sacrificial Sect was chasing Dong Tianze.
