“Ning Yao!”

“Sister Ning!”

The crowd exclaimed in surprise and wonder.

After entering the Solitude Mountain Range, Su Yuntian and He Rong’s team had not yet encountered any living members of other families, so the appearance of “Ning Yao” was an unexpected joy.

He Rong was particularly delighted.

He knew his nephew He Ziren was infatuated with the Miss Ning of the Ning Family, and the sight of “Ning Yao” suggested that He Ziren must be nearby.

The valiant Luo Hongyan, her satin gown smeared with leaves and debris, approached wearily, her bright eyes scanning the surroundings.

After searching to no avail for the person she was looking for, she asked again with a cold demeanor, “Where is Pang Jian?”

“Who is Pang Jian?”

Su Yuntian asked curiously.

“The youth who came out of Crescent Lake, carrying a bamboo basket on his back and wielding a long spear.”

Luo Hongyan, frowning with impatience, did not want to waste another moment.

In secrecy, she gave more instructions to the grey hawk that had led her here, sending it to search the area.

“Oh, you mean that boy!”

Su Yuntian realized, smiling and pointing in a direction, “He went over there, leaving a while ago.”

“Swoosh!”

The deep grey hawk that had been circling Crescent Lake suddenly took flight towards the heavens, heading in the direction Su Yuntian pointed.

“Sister Ning, why are you alone?”

Su Meng’s round face was filled with a smile as she approached with her questions.

Luo Hongyan looked at her, puzzled, and after a moment said, “Um, Su Meng, it’s been a long time.”

Su Meng replied with a cheerful smile, “It has been a long time, I thought you had almost forgotten me.”

She turned in place and then rose on her tiptoes, stretching herself a little taller, and said, “The last time we met, I was still a child, but look how tall I’ve become now.”

Luo Hongyan was indifferent, offering a polite comment before she tried to leave.

“Ning, where is Ziren?”

He Rong, his brow furrowed, looked around but did not see He Ziren appear, and anxiously said, “Ziren went to the Ning Family because of you. From the information I’ve gotten, he should have been with you from start to finish. Now that you’re here in the mountain range, it’s impossible for Ziren not to have come in!”

Su Yuntian and the others also felt puzzled.

Now that “Ning Yao” appeared alone, urgently looking for Pang Jian, they were baffled by her behavior.

Luo Hongyan, scrutinized by their suspicious gazes, squinted and hung her head, consulting with the true owner of her body for a moment, before she said with a despondent tone, “Ziren, Yuanshan, and the rest of the Ning Family members who came with me, as well as many of the Zhou Family, they all fell to Dark Ghost Hong Tai’s hands.”

“Dark Ghost?!”

Su and He family members were immediately shocked and changed color.

“It happened on the other side of the mountain, at Black Water Pool. Except for me, Zhou Qingchen, and Han Duping, I believe no one else escaped Dark Ghost’s ambush.”

Luo Hongyan sighed deeply, and while using the grey hawk’s “Spirit Evil” to search for Pang Jian’s whereabouts, she feigned a sorrowful expression, “The youth named Pang Jian is a guide I had hired from the outside, also one of the survivors.”

Looking at Su Meng, she asked, “By the way, did you see a giant python fleeing with him from Crescent Lake?”

Su Meng was still in shock from hearing about Dark Ghost’s brutality when she heard the question and honestly answered, “He came ashore to roast a few fish and chatted with us for a while before we parted ways.”

Upon hearing that the “Dark Giant Python” was not with him, Luo Hongyan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief and calmly said, “That’s good. That Black and White King Python is Dark Ghost Hong Tai’s mount, the fact that it didn’t follow means he has shaken it off.”

“That kid has been keeping quite a few things from us!”

Su Yuntian said angrily.

When Pang Jian had chatted with them, he had not mentioned being attacked by Dark Ghost nor any contact with the Ning or Zhou Families, which made Su Yuntian quite displeased.

“There’s nothing but mountains of bones on the other side, and there might even be Dark Ghost’s men active around there, there’s no need to go exploring.”

Luo Hongyan clarified the dangers of the other side and, without waiting for the grey hawk to find Pang Jian’s trail, said, “I need to ask Pang Jian something, so I’ll be taking my leave first.”

“Ning, why don’t we travel together? It’s far too dangerous for you to be on your own!”

Su Yuntian hurriedly said.

He Rong, having lost his nephew to death, had been silent for a long time; only after she showed urgency in departing did he suddenly say, “We should travel together!”

Luo Hongyan, about to leave, looked back at these people and hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing, “Fine.”

…

In the forest where branches and leaves hid the sky.

Pang Jian, having said farewell to the Su and He families, felt a thrilling sense of freedom, racing through the forest, weaving between the gaps in the ancient trees.

Now and then, he leaped from the ground, soaring towards the sky like a sharpened blade, then crashing back down to earth.

Other times, he swung from the branches deftly, flinging himself to the boughs of another old tree, swinging through the jungle like a monkey.

The long spear in his hands was wielded with vigorous might.

With a casual thrust, he could pierce through a tree trunk thick enough to require several people to wrap their arms around.

The corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile, his eyes slightly narrowed like a razor’s edge, glittering with a compelling sharpness.

After the second round of Body Refining with Phoenix Marrow, his entire skeleton had been tempered, and not just his arms and ribcage, but even the legs and toes below his waist, were filled with brutish strength.

With a strong leap, he could clear nearly ten meters in the air among the trees, and when landing heavily, his feet felt neither pain nor numbness.

The sensation of surging strength throughout his body gave rise to an urge within him to find an opponent for a hearty and unrestrained battle.

“It was the two doses of Phoenix Marrow that transformed my body, causing such a metamorphosis. If I’m not mistaken, there’s still one drop of the most wondrous Phoenix Marrow inside the copper medallion that has yet to reveal its magic.”
