"It seems to be the branded eye of the blood moon."
Zhou Qingchen observed the slowly rotating blood-red eyes on the dark banner, and suddenly remembered something.
"Blood Chakra Kung!"
Shangguanqin, who was in an excited state, gave a soft drink and saw a dark red halo suddenly appear from the back of her neck.
The Shangguan family in the fourth realm has a close relationship with the Blood Moon in the upper realm, just like the Zhou family and Hongshan. Everyone knows this.
Within the Shangguan family, those with the most outstanding cultivation talents are often accepted by Xue Yue.
Although Shangguan Qin is not qualified to practice in the Blood Moon in the upper world, her entry-level techniques come from the Blood Moon.
After confirming that what was revealed on the banner was the "Branded Eye", she immediately activated the "Blood Wheel Gong" she practiced hard, trying to gain the favor of the blood pupil with the same sect and origin.
After the "Blood Wheel Gong" is activated, a blood-colored ring slowly emerges, vaguely similar to the halo around the "Branded Eye".
As a core member of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Qin knows that Blood Moon's magical "Eye of Imprint" can scan the surroundings and imprint the scenes that happened before.
Overhauls resulting from the Blood Moon can often obtain key information through the "Eye of Brand" to make correct decisions.
When the "Eye of Brand" moves like this, it means that it is searching for people related to the Blood Moon and wants to convey extremely important information.
All the Blood Moon monks died in front of her. Only Shangguanqin practiced "Blood Wheel Kung Fu". She took it for granted that the "Eye of Brand" would choose her and instill the important information hidden in it into her.
In this way, she can know how those Blood Moon practitioners died.
You can also know whether the beast that gnawed away the flesh and blood of the corpse was a wild beast in the nearby mountains and forests, and you can also see whether the Zhou family and the Ning family who came later got an opportunity here.
It was worth it to sacrifice a few family servants and use their blood to inspire the "Branded Eyes".
Thinking like this, Shangguan Qin started to activate the "Blood Wheel Gong" crazily, waiting for the watering of the "Eye of Brand" message.
However……
She waited and waited, thinking that Shangguan Qin would be regarded as the first and only choice by the "Branded Eye", but until the blood-colored pupils swelled and exploded, she didn't get the information she wanted.
After the blood pupil exploded, blood spattered out, and it seemed like a bloody rain fell above the Wuding ferry.
Shangguan Qin, who had been receiving messages from Kuhou for a long time, had a look of astonishment on her charming face, obviously unable to accept such a result.
Luo Meng, a strong man as strong as an iron tower, has followed Shangguan Qin for many years and knows the wonders of the "Branded Eye".
Seeing the blood pupils exploding, he thought Shangguan Qin had gotten the information he wanted, so he stepped forward and asked: "How is it?"
Ning Yao, Ning Yuanshan, and even Han Duping all looked at Shangguan Qin.
They all agreed that Shangguan Qin, who practiced "Blood Wheel Gong", must have obtained the key information in the "Eye of Brand" and knew what had happened.
"Not me!"
Shangguan Qin suddenly screamed, searching the crowd anxiously, and shouted angrily: "Who is it? Who got the most critical information from the Eye of Brand? Who is it?!"
She yelled like crazy and couldn't figure out why the "Branded Eye" didn't choose her.
Among everyone present, she was the only one who practiced the Blood Moon Technique and took the initiative to perform the "Blood Wheel Gong".
"Pang Jian, what did you see?"
Zhou Qingchen, who was closest to Pang Jian, saw the strange look in his eyes and couldn't help but ask.
"Pang Jian?"
"Pang Jian!"
A series of surprised and puzzled eyes suddenly focused on Pang Jian, wanting to see him thoroughly.
No one thought that this young hunter from the Silent Mountains would actually win the favor of the "Branded Eye" and pour the most critical information into him.
Everyone who didn't believe it at first, only after careful inspection, they discovered that there was blood quietly disappearing in Pang Jian's eyes.
In the blood light, there seemed to be scenes of blurry images.
It’s really him!
No one questioned it anymore. Although they didn't know what was going on, they all understood that the young Orion in front of them had replaced Shangguan Qin and received the gift of the "Eye of Brand".
"First I saw the earth shaking."
Pang Jian drank lightly.
As if he was holding the Heavenly Constitution in his mouth, when he said these words, the earth beneath everyone's feet suddenly shook and roared due to the falling bones of the Heavenly Phoenix, and many cracks appeared!
Everyone looked at Pang Jian in disbelief.
Pang Jian was obviously stunned, and he did not expect that the ground beneath his feet would suddenly vibrate after his words, as if in response to his words.
"What happened next?" Zhou Qingchen's eyes were full of surprise.
He suddenly felt a little lucky, lucky for his sharp eyesight and proactive show of kindness, as well as his previous strong support for Pang Jian.
"later……"
Pang Jian did not give a clear answer, but muttered to sort out the messy pictures in his mind and integrate the memories he had just received.
The earth is still shaking, the roaring in the depths continues, and there seems to be some unknown terror lurking in those deep and deep ravines.
"Let's go! Get out of here quickly!"
When Pang Jian finally saw the next scene, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at the gaps on the ground, as if he saw something terrible that was about to rush out from inside.
"Master Zhou, believe me! Let's go quickly!"
Pang Jian got on his horse, flicked the reins, and drove the maroon war horse towards the mountain forest where the gray ape disappeared.
The war horse leaped high as it passed through a crack in the ground, crossing a ravine that became larger and larger as the ground shook.
Zhou Qingchen's face was uncertain, and he had a battle between heaven and man in his heart. He quickly chose to believe Pang Jian and shouted: "Follow Pang Jian and leave quickly!"
As soon as he moved, the Zhou family's servants no longer dared to hesitate and all galloped to follow him.
"Xiaoyao, where are we?"
Ning Yuanshan, who had taken a step back, hurriedly looked at Ning Yao at this dangerous and uncertain moment.
"Let's go too!"
As Ning Yao made her decision, the two Ning family members and the surviving Zhang Heng also hurriedly rode away.
After the Zhou family and the Ning family left, Shangguan Qin looked at the Wuding ferry and suddenly seemed a little at a loss when he heard the terrible "hissing" sound coming from the ground.
"Miss?" Luo Meng asked eagerly.
"Let's go too!"
The Shangguan family and others who had no mounts also chose the same direction to evacuate like the Zhou family and the Ning family.
…
"Hiss!"
From the cracks in the shaking earth behind him, there were constant shrill screams of ghosts. It seemed as if there were demons crawling out of the ground taking advantage of the earthquake to exterminate the people on the surface.
Pang Jian took the lead and sped away.
Behind him, Zhou Qingchen and Han Duping followed closely, followed by the rest of the Zhou family, as well as Ning Yao, Ning Yuanshan and others.
It didn't last long, and the earthquake and ghost howling behind everyone slowly stopped.
At this time, Pang Jian finally stopped and immediately turned the horse's head.
Everyone also stopped one after another, and each one of them looked behind them with lingering fears and doubts.
They didn't know what happened after they left, but they instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"What exactly did you see through the Eye of Brand?" Ning Yao was the first to ask.
Her bright eyes were filled with anger, her attitude towards Pang Jian suddenly became no longer polite, and her tone was extremely cold.
"I'll talk later. Let's first see if anyone from Shangguan's house can come over alive." Pang Jian said calmly.
Everyone suddenly felt chills in their hearts, realizing that a terrible disaster must have occurred in the land full of cracks.
Zhou Qingchen raised his hand to signal everyone not to be anxious and to wait patiently.
"Howling!"
From the area where they fled, creepy screams gradually came out, which sounded like the practitioners of the Shangguan family were being hunted by some evil creature.
Zhou Qingchen's expression changed slightly, and he took a deep look at Pang Jian, but said nothing more.
"What a risk!"
Everyone was frightened and secretly glad that Zhou Qingchen chose to believe in Pang Jian, so that everyone could escape from that terrifying place in time.
Because of Shangguan Qin's indecisiveness, the Shangguan family must have paid a heavy price. I don't know how many people died there.
They didn't let everyone wait for too long. Not long after, they saw Shangguan Qin, whose bright dress had become tattered and her white and greasy skin was partially exposed, emerging from the forest with a horrified look on her face.
No matter how hard it was to maintain her charming charm, the white back on the back of her neck seemed to be dripping with red blood.
"Romon."
Shangguanqin looked behind him from time to time and shouted softly in anticipation.
It seemed that the man who was as majestic as a tower and loyal to her would appear again soon.
She had always known that the reason why Romon was loyal to her was actually because he had always admired her and hoped to gain her favor one day.
She obviously knew it, but she deliberately avoided it while taking advantage of Romon's feelings for her.
In the end, Romon risked his own life and succeeded in sending her out of the terrifying killing field at the expense of himself.
She survived, and Romon... seemed to never appear again.
The Shangguan family who followed her to the Cenji Mountains and wanted to explore the secret of Tianfeng's remains also died behind.
"Why you? Why did the Eye of Brand choose to infuse the message with you? Not me?!"
Suddenly, she saw Pang Jian riding a maroon war horse, and her mind was filled with cruel images of the death of Luo Meng and those servants.
She immediately became hysterical, bared her teeth and claws and rushed towards Pang Jian, screaming wildly: "You killed Luo Meng! You killed our Shangguan family, you have to pay for their lives!"
She took it for granted that if she got the message from the "Branded Eye", those people would not die.
"Aunt Qin, please calm down!"
Zhou Qingchen flicked the reins and whipped a dark red lightning bolt into the air, making a "crackling" sound and blocking Shangguan Qin who looked like a madman.
"Please understand that it was your hesitation that killed members of your Shangguan family." Ning Yao interjected coldly.
When Zhou Qingchen and Ning Yao came forward, Shangguan Qin, who was in a state of madness, finally realized that she was the only one left. No matter how much trouble she made, she could not be a match for these people in front of her.
Gradually, Shangguan Qin also became quiet, but still looked at Pang Jian with eyes filled with hatred.
"Okay, now let's talk about it, what did you see through the Eye of Brand?"
Ning Yao, who had long been full of doubts, waited until Shangguan Qin stopped saying anything before looking at Pang Jian again.
"From the cracks in the earth, accompanied by the vibration, many spiritual vines flew out, like fresh strange snakes, instantly attacking and killing the practitioners of the Blood Moon and eating their flesh and blood clean. The people of the Blood Moon
, most of them are the same as you, and should be at the Tongmai realm, but they don’t have the slightest ability to resist."
Pang Jian looked at Zhou Qingchen and others, recalling the vision in his mind while recounting the bloody scene.
"They were either killed by wild beasts, or cannibalized by wild beasts, or were cannibalized by vines emerging from the cracks in the ground. It seems that every attack by terrifying vines will be accompanied by vibrations in the ground."
Pang Jian expressed his guess after integrating the pictures.
"But so?"
After listening to Pang Jian's description, Zhou Qingchen took a breath and immediately looked at Shangguan Qin.
He also felt chilly in his heart.
Among them, only he and Han Duping had reached the Tongmai Realm, and the rest were only at the Qi Refining Realm.
As for the Blood Moon visitors who were attacked by the vines, as far as he knew, they were all from the Tongmai Realm, and were led by a leader from the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
Even the strong men in the Marrow Cleansing Realm are dead. If he hadn't chosen to believe Pang Jian, wouldn't he have ended up with the same fate?
"Same as he said."
Shangguan Qin first replied in the affirmative, and couldn't help but shudder, and then asked the confusion in everyone's heart: "I just want to know why the Eye of Brand chose you instead of practicing the Blood Moon Technique.
