The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 112 - 99: Return_1

Fourth Realm.

Wulan Lake.

Pang Jian, returning from the Mirror Tunnel in the Pool of Bagua City in the Fifth Realm, suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake, as clear as ice crystal.

The first image that struck his eyes was a beautiful apparition so intoxicating it captured the heart.

By the lake.

Dressed in a bright red long dress, Luo Hongyan’s figure was hazy amidst the thin blood mist, her stunning beauty, incomparable in all creation, clearly displayed.

Her flawless, exquisite image instantly filled Pang Jian’s entire field of vision and was deeply etched into his mind the moment he appeared.

Pang Jian stood dumbfounded in place.

Such a soul-stirring beautiful woman was a rarity in his life, and he found it incredibly hard to shift his gaze.

— He even forgot to first assess the situation at hand, for fear of unforeseen dangers due to her beauty.

Luo Hongyan, hovering in the air, quietly watched him, her beautiful eyes gradually showing extreme surprise as she murmured, "Pang Jian..."

Pang Jian snapped back to reality and tentatively asked, "Luo Hongyan?"

A delighted expression emerged on Luo Hongyan’s stunning face.

She nodded slightly, her lips parting into a charming smile, saying, "In the darkness, do you remember me saying that I am much prettier than Ning Yao?"

"Back then, my only regret was that I hadn’t shown you my appearance, so..."

She gracefully extended her limbs, swaying within the hazy blood mist, presenting her slender body and straight, beautiful legs from multiple angles to Pang Jian.

Pang Jian watched her quietly, his eyes full of wonder, as if appreciating a beautiful painting.

After a long moment, he agreed profoundly, saying, "You weren’t exaggerating."

Luo Hongyan’s beauty, compared to Ning Yao of the Ning Family, was not just a notch higher.

It was like heaven and earth apart.

Only after seeing Luo Hongyan’s true face did Pang Jian realize that she hadn’t exaggerated; women like Shangguan Qin and Ning Yao were as different from her as mortals are from fairy beings, a vast chasm apart.

Pang Jian, slightly dazed by Luo Hongyan’s beauty, collected his thoughts before speaking, "You’ve finally deigned to reveal your true form."

"I had no choice. The Dark Alien Power almost caused my soul to dissipate; how could Ning Yao withstand it?"

Luo Hongyan casually mentioned the fact of Ning Yao’s soul’s demise with a light sigh, "I had originally wanted to leave her alive to witness this moment, but alas, she couldn’t hold on."

With Ning Yao’s soul extinguished, her body no longer held any value for her.

In such a situation, she could hardly preserve herself, let alone take possession of Ning Yao and completely occupy the body.

"Oh." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Pang Jian felt not the slightest ripple in his heart; he had assumed Ning Yao to have been dead long ago, so it didn’t matter to him.

What surprised him was that Luo Hongyan, who had been hiding in Ning Yao’s body and interacting with him, turned out to be so breathtakingly beautiful.

Unfortunately, Luo Hongyan didn’t have real flesh and blood.

"Whoosh!"

The massive ice crystal that had been supporting him underfoot suddenly shot toward his chest and disappeared into the bronze door.

Pang Jian, whose face suddenly changed, quickly leapt to Luo Hongyan’s side to avoid falling into the lake.

"The Mirror Tunnel is gone."

Luo Hongyan’s beautiful eyes flickered with an unusual light as she glanced at his chest but said nothing further.

At the same moment, the Extreme Cold Alien Power that had frozen Wulan Lake also quietly returned to the "Mysterious Fog."

The waters of Wulan Lake returned to their original state.

Standing on solid ground, Pang Jian reached into his clothes to touch the bronze plaque.

"Even a Mirror Tunnel has been sealed away..."

New doubts arose in his mind as he felt that the bronze door had undergone another change, but since it had not opened, he remained unsure of the circumstances.

Looking up, he saw the "Mysterious Fog" still enshrouding the sky, like a vast Sky Curtain covering the area.

All around him, the "Mysterious Fog" enveloping Wulan Lake was rapidly dissipating.

He stared blankly at all this, watching as the "Mysterious Fog" above lingered, while the surrounding scenery gradually became clear once more.

Luo Hongyan, too, remained silent and, like him, observed the peculiar changes unfolding before her.

After a while, Pang Jian suddenly asked, "Haven’t you seen Dong Tianze?"

"No, just me here."

Luo Hongyan shook her head and floated in the void with a playful smile, saying, "The Li Jie from the Heaven Treasure Li Family, having already protected Dong Tianze, and able to arbitrarily decide the location of departure, must have sent Dong Tianze to the Third Realm."

"What’s the background of the Heaven Treasure Li Family?"

Pang Jian was taken aback.

"Above us in the First Realm, there’s a Sect known as the Heaven Treasure Sect that excels in making various Strange Treasures and Spiritual Artifacts," Luo Hongyan explained with a smile. "Let’s put it this way, most of the highest quality artifacts in the world come from Heaven Treasure Sect. And, every Sect Master of the Heaven Treasure Sect bears the Li surname, so you can think of this Sect as the Li Family."

"First Realm?!"

Pang Jian exclaimed.

"Yes, I’ve come to realize that this entire incident revolving around Bagua City, no matter the reasons for entry, we were all just accompanying that young lad from the Heaven Treasure Li Family in his tribulation," Luo Hongyan sighed helplessly, "Let’s not talk about this now; the Heaven Treasure Li Family of the First Realm is far too distant for us."

"Oh."

Pang Jian replied casually.

Taking a deep breath, he suddenly discovered that the Lake Heart Island, once filled with pure nature’s spiritual energy, was now also contaminated with Filth Alien Power.

However, the Filth Alien Power within Lake Heart Island was entirely different from what he had felt in the Darkness of the Fifth Realm.

Here, the so-called Filth Alien Power was a blend containing the chill of Mysterious Yin Power, the bloodthirsty strength from wild beasts, and poisons from venomous insects and snakes.
