The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 121 - 107 Hall Master Deliberates_1

Darkness.

The Dark Ghost branch in Cloud Marsh Town.

Pang Jian, in a room lit by an oil lamp, put down a piece of the fragmented Earth Flame Stone and squinted to feel the newly formed "Flame Pool" in his Spiritual Sea.

"It’s a pity that what filled the Spiritual Sea was not the Filth Alien Power from the Fifth Realm; otherwise, the might of the Ground Flame Spell would be enough to blast the strongest in the Marrow Cleaning Realm to death."

He sighed lightly with a bit of regret.

In the City Lord Mansion in Bagua City, the feat of killing Yuan Lengshan with three Evil Power Waterfalls relied on the thick Filth Alien Power in the darkness.

He had already tried before, using the Flame Force in the "Flame Pool" mixed with Spiritual Power for an outburst, but found its power was far inferior.

"Huff!"

Among the sighs, he took out a bottle of second-grade Ice Armor Beast blood from his storage bag and drank it down with a "gurgling" sound.

After entering his stomach, a rich essence of Qi and Blood surged from his intestines almost immediately.

Pang Jian harnessed this energy, which could nourish blood and flesh, and mixed it with Spiritual Power, channeling it through the twelve regular channels to his internal organs.

In the Marrow Cleansing Realm, although Bone Severing Marrow Washing is critical, it belongs to the initial stage, and strengthening the organs represents the middle stage.

With the vigorous essence of blood and flesh, one’s organs obtain a vigorous vitality, and it also increases a cultivator’s lifespan.

"At this step, I should be able to live for a very long time, no longer dying young."

Recalling Sun Bin’s words from the past, Pang Jian muttered to himself with self-mockery.

An hour later, the essence energy of blood and flesh contained in a bottle of second-grade Ice Crystal Beast blood was fully absorbed by Pang Jian.

"Far from enough."

He took out the remaining six bottles of beast blood from his Storage Ring and arranged them, shaking his head.

Among those six bottles of beast blood, only one was from a second-grade Wind Spirit Beast, and the rest were from first-grade ferocious beasts.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of glass hitting a wooden plank from the nearby cabinet.

Startled from his thoughts, Pang Jian opened the cabinet door, reached behind the cloth bundle, and took out a White Jade Porcelain Bottle.

The Crystal-clear Snow Lotus, which looked like crystal jade petals, now had fewer leaves, and the miniature figure of Luo Hongyan was above it.

She gestured to Pang Jian, who then unscrewed the bottle cap, and a rich scent of blood dispersed immediately.

Without leaving the White Jade Porcelain Bottle, she asked from within, "What did Dark Ghost say?"

"I’ve been staying for two days now, and no one has summoned me yet."

Pang Jian replied truthfully.

"Still undecided?"

Luo Hongyan inside the White Jade Porcelain Bottle hesitated for a moment and then with a frown said, "Pour those six bottles of beast blood into this White Jade Porcelain Bottle. Pang Jian, once I start, I can’t stop."

"Hmm."

Without any hesitation, he poured all six bottles of first and second-grade ferocious beast blood into the White Jade Porcelain Bottle.

With the addition of six bottles of beast blood, the White Jade Porcelain Bottle only showed an extra puddle of bloody water at the bottom.

The Crystal-clear Snow Lotus floated above the bloody water, drawing blood from the remaining petals to refine Luo Hongyan’s crystal bones.

"Alas, despite having Spirit Jade and Spirit Stones, even third-grade beast blood is hard to buy in the Lower Realm; this was also my oversight."

"Without the Blood Pool from the Blood Moon, I have to purify the impurities in the beast blood within this bottle, which is really troublesome..."

Luo Hongyan sighed with frustration and said, "Hopefully Dark Ghost will make a decision soon; otherwise, you’ll have to go to the trouble of hunting ferocious beasts for me in Thousand Miles of Cloud Land."

Pang Jian nodded.

"Someone is coming," Luo Hongyan whispered sensing something, "Put the stopper back on and place me back in the original spot."

Pang Jian did as instructed, putting the White Jade Porcelain Bottle back in the cabinet and covering it with a cloth bundle before closing the cabinet door.

"Hong!"

Fan Liang called softly from outside and, hearing Pang Jian’s response, said, "Master Meng requests your presence!"

"I’m coming."

Pang Jian immediately headed outside.

"Hong Jian, let me give you a quick update," Fan Li said as he walked, "There are five people who came, all in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, and two of them are Hall Masters..."

Pang Jian listened attentively.

He now knew that in the organization Dark Ghost, the leader was called the Ghost Leader, followed by nine Hall Masters, and below the Hall Masters were the Stewards.

In Fragment Land, the previous Hall Master was Hong Tai, now it is Meng Qiulan; both are in the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

Fan Liang, Ling Qing, and the deceased Xu Rui, they were all Stewards under the Hall Master, mostly in the Meridians Channeling Realm.

Further down were ordinary members of Dark Ghost, generally only at the Qi Refining Realm.

"Two Hall Masters, one named Yang Yuansen, the other named Zhao Ling..."

Pang Jian quietly noted their names.

Following Fan Liang’s lead, he quickly arrived at a hall where, instead of lamps, gemstones served as a source of light.

Bringing him was Fan Liang, who respectfully saluted the few people inside before stepping out himself.

"Hong Jian, come over here," commanded Meng Qiulan, leaning on a cane inside the hall, beckoning him over, and Pang Jian approached.

He also spotted five strangers in the room, in addition to Meng Qiulan of Cloud Marsh’s bend of Sky Fortune.

With the information Fan Liang had shared on the way, he tried to match the strangers with the names.

"This is Hall Master Yang Yuansen, and this is Hall Master Zhao Ling," Meng Qiulan pointed out the two, revealing their identities without waiting for Pang Jian to distinguish them, and pointed at Pang Jian, "He’s Hong Tai’s nephew, Hong Jian."

"Heh, Hong Tai was really unlucky, taking people to Solitude Mountain Range in Northern Qi, causing Jin Yang to die," Yang Yuansen, a burly man with a clean-shaven head and wearing a loose robe, said with a strange smile, "I heard Jin Yang is a big shot from the Third Realm, someone our Ghost Leader was asked to look after. Now he’s really troubled, not knowing how to explain to that person. Good thing Hong Tai died; otherwise, the Leader would definitely have to punish him!"
