The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 122 - 107 Hall Master Deliberates_2

Pang Jian glanced at him and noticed that this Yang Yuansen was in his prime, with two elders standing behind him.

"Elder Meng, at your age, I didn’t expect you to play so big, even daring to covet the thoughts of the Blood Moon!"

Zhao Ling, with a lithe figure, wore a light purple dress robe. She stood leaning against a pillar in the hall, her legs long and straight.

Looking at Zhao Ling, who appeared to be in her early twenties, she was not only exceptionally beautiful but also radiated a compelling sharpness. Her eyebrows slanted towards her forehead like daggers, giving off an extremely combative aura.

"We’re all in the Marrow Cleansing Realm and we all need high-level beast blood and beast flesh, but you two also know, it’s easier to plead with the Ghost Leader for other trades. Once it involves high-level beast blood and flesh, the Ghost Leader seems to have a hard time, sometimes he simply doesn’t respond to us," Meng Qiulan stated, speaking of personal interests rather than greater causes.

Zhao Ling sighed, "That’s indeed the case. I prepared some Spirit Stones to exchange with the Ghost Leader for high-level beast blood and flesh, but he didn’t even reply to me."

Yang Yuansen snorted, "I don’t know why, but the things from Blood Moon seem very hard for the Ghost Leader to get."

"Yes, so when I suggested raiding the Blood Moon’s Beast-Catching Ship, the Ghost Leader was very interested," Meng Qiulan said.

At that moment,

Zhao Ling glanced at Pang Jian, her eyes sharp as two cold daggers shooting over, her voice cold, "What we are discussing is confidential. Just because he is Hong Tai’s nephew doesn’t give him the privilege to be here and listen to our discussions about important matters!"

"Yeah, what right does this kid have to come in?"

Yang Yuansen also called out discontentedly.

Meng Qiulan spoke calmly, "Just like us, he’s also in the Marrow Cleansing Realm."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ling and Yang Yuansen were taken aback and started to take Pang Jian seriously.

"Such a young Marrow Cleansing Realm, we’ve never had one in Dark Ghost," said Yang Yuansen as he eyed Pang Jian, laughing strangely after looking him over a few times, "Elder Meng, you now also have a Marrow Cleansing subordinate! Ha ha, Hong Tai is just so-so, I didn’t expect him to have a good nephew!"

Suddenly remembering something, he slapped his thigh, "Zhao Ling, with him joining Dark Ghost, he’d be our youngest at the Marrow Cleansing Realm! If I remember correctly, you had just turned twenty when you advanced to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, right?"

Zhao Ling snorted coldly, "What about it?"

"Heh heh, nothing much, nothing at all," Yang Yuansen laughed dryly, added, "Just that in these past few years, you’ve been using your age to pressure us, now it might not be so easy to talk about age anymore."

Seeing an argument brewing between the two, Meng Qiulan interjected, "Let’s discuss the matter at hand!"

"Alright, let’s discuss the matter at hand! Elder Meng, let me be clear, I agreed to join forces with the Ghost Leader for a reason!"

The bald Yang Yuansen yelled, looking directly into Meng Qiulan’s eyes, "Once this is accomplished, aside from the usual distribution of resources, those two female disciples of yours must belong to me! The person called Fei Zheng from Blood Moon, the three of us can handle him. If you won’t agree to this, then find another hall to help you, and I’ll simply withdraw!"

Meng Qiulan frowned.

"Elder Meng, you know me, I’m just amorous, but not the type to commit acts of cruelty. Moreover, we’re both in Dark Ghost and if they followed me, you’d still see them regularly," he said.

Yang Yuansen stood up, hands behind his back, and snorted, "If they were sent to Jiuyuan of Blood Moon, you should know better than I the kind of fate they would meet."

At the mention of the name "Jiuyuan," Meng Qiulan’s brows furrowed even deeper.

Among the other halls of Dark Ghost, none could deploy three from the Marrow Cleansing Realm at once, and with Yang Yuansen’s advanced Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivation, he was among the strongest in the hall leaders.

"Yang, is that all the ambition you have? No wonder you haven’t progressed beyond Marrow Cleansing Realm with your age, your mind is full of women, deserving to stay in the Lower Realm forever!"

Zhao Ling crossed her straight legs, took out a map of Sky Fortune City’s street layout, and said disdainfully without even looking up.

"Zhao Ling, heh heh, if you were willing to be with me, not to mention those sisters, I could give up all the women I have now,"

Yang Yuansen’s lecherous gaze lingered on her long, shapely legs beneath her tight dress robe, then moved to her full chest:

"My talent is average, but you, Zhao Ling, are truly remarkable. If we were to have a child, I’m sure we could secure a place for ourselves in the Upper Realm!"

Without raising her head, Zhao Ling looked at the map in her hands and sneered, "In my opinion, you’re just as useless as Hong Tai. He was driven out by Blood Moon a hundred years ago, while you just managed to maintain your middle-aged appearance after reaching Marrow Cleansing Realm, you’re already over seventy."

"By the time I reach your age, I should have already broken free from the Dark Ghosts and established a foothold in the Third Realm," Pang Jian said.

"Do you, Yang Yuansen, even deserve to have children with me?" Zhao Ling scoffed disdainfully.

Yang Yuansen, his face darkening after being berated, let out two sinister chuckles and looked at Meng Qiulan with a fierce gleam in his eyes, "Elder Meng, have you made your decision?"

"I agree to your terms."

Meng Qiulan clenched her teeth and acceded to Yang Yuansen’s request, then helplessly glanced at Pang Jian and sighed.

Pang Jian remained silent.

Desperately in need of high-level beast blood, he had no interest in the Bai sisters, Bai Wei and Bai Zhi, and naturally didn’t want to bicker over this matter.

The group immediately began discussing the details. Pang Jian didn’t utter a word, simply listening in on the side.

From the conversation, he learned that there were four individuals at the Marrow Cleansing Realm aboard the Beast-Catching Ship during the Blood Moon.

The strongest among them was Fei Zheng, the one who had kidnapped the Bai sisters. This man was just a step away from the Innate Realm.

Besides the Blood Moon, Shangguan Dong, the City Lord of Sky Fortune City, was also at the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

Then there were several others in the Meridians Channeling Realm.

The discussions in the hall grew more fervent.

Yang Yuansen advocated attacking when the Unstable Ferry, the Beast-Catching Ship, departed from Sky Fortune City. He believed that with their strength, they could kill all four in the Marrow Cleansing Realm and the numerous strong members of Blood Moon in the Meridians Channeling Realm.

Zhao Ling thought they should make their move within Sky Fortune City, preferably when the four Marrow Cleansing Realm individuals were scattered.

Once they launched a surprise attack on the mansion where the Unstable Ferry was docked, secured the beast blood and meat, and rescued Bai Wei and Bai Zhi, they could leave immediately without having to fight the Blood Moon to the death.

Sky Fortune City was vast, making it easy to hide and escape afterwards.

But outside the city lay a flat wasteland, wholly unsuitable for hiding.

"What do you think, Hong Jian?" Meng Qiulan asked.

"Inside the city. In the event that the Beast-Catching Ship has dangers we’re unaware of, it’ll be easier to withdraw within Sky Fortune City," Pang Jian answered.

He didn’t believe the Dark Ghosts had truly grasped everything, so he prudently left himself an escape route.

Zhao Ling nodded slightly and looked at Pang Jian with a somewhat improved gaze, saying, "You’re more reliable than that old man Hong Tai. I once worked with Hong Tai, and he almost got me killed!"

Only then did Pang Jian realize why this woman had shown hostility towards him from their first meeting.

"How about we make our move inside the city?" Meng Qiulan then asked Yang Yuansen.

"Whatever."

Yang Yuansen chuckled indifferently and said, "It’s all the same to me whether we act inside or outside the city. Just thinking about going against the Blood Moon makes me quite impatient."

"Alright, let’s plan out the details," Meng Qiulan nodded.
