Three figures abruptly walked out of the black mist. With nimble steps, they came to the corpse that was riddled with holes.
The three of them did not cover their faces. If He Yiming was present, he would have called out their names.
They were Zhu Guanhao, Fang Cheng, and Hao Xue.
They were outside the black fog. They had clearly separated from He Yiming and Jin Zhan, and they had entered the black fog from three different directions. However, at this moment, they had actually gathered together again.
Zhu Guanhao looked at the corpse on the ground and smiled bitterly. "Brother Hao, you acted too early this time."
Just as He Yiming had expected, they had set the majority of the cultivators as their targets when they came in. However, they had only been in the Crying Ghost Ridge for half a day, yet Hao Xue had attacked so impatiently. This had disrupted their plan.
Hao Xue shook his head and said, "Brother Zhu, I didn't want to act so early, but this person has a deep enmity with me. Since we've met here, either he dies, or I die."
His voice was filled with deep resentment. It was an unforgettable hatred. Apart from washing it with blood, there was no other way to erase it.
Zhu Guanhao and Fang Cheng looked at each other. They were surprised and bewildered.
They had an unusual relationship with Hao Xue, and the Three Great Clans were also very close. This was also the main reason why the three of them could carry out the plan together.
Having said that, it was their first time seeing Hao Xue so agitated after knowing him for so many years.
Hao Xue, who had always been known for his calmness, was actually impulsive.
Hao Xue smiled bitterly when he looked at Zhu Guanhao and Fang Cheng. "Brother Zhu, Brother Fang, my younger brother was killed by this person in the past, so I couldn't hold myself back when I saw him. Please forgive me."
Fang Cheng and Zhu Guanhao finally understood. A hundred years ago, the Hao family's two brothers were very famous. Hao Xue's younger brother was not inferior to his elder brother in terms of talent. However, a few decades ago, the Hao family's second brother suddenly died in a bizarre manner. The Hao Family had never revealed the reason. Only now did they know that the second son of the Hao Family, who was brimming with talent, had actually been killed.
Fang Cheng coughed lightly and said, "Brother Hao, you've already avenged your brother. My condolences."
Hao Xue gently nodded, and the hatred in his eyes slowly dissipated.
A moment later, he said regretfully, "What a pity. I didn't expect this person to be so violent after going crazy. Even we couldn't stop him. It's a pity that I didn't kill him myself. "
Fang Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Someone actually made a similar sound. It's really strange."
The three of them looked at each other, unable to figure out what was going on. If they knew that this was actually an unintentional mistake on 108's part, they would definitely vomit blood from anger.
After a pause, Fang Cheng asked, "Brother Hao, do you know who that person is?"
Hao Xue shook his head without any hesitation. "I've cultivated my Blood Condensation Technique to the highest rank below Venerable One, but I can only see beyond 100 meters in this environment, and I'm greatly restricted. I can only be sure that 2 people were fighting him here just now. "
Fang Cheng's eyes lit up, and he said, "Since the two of them worked together to kill the madman, they're definitely not powerhouses of the Tripod Realm. How about … "
Zhu Guanhao immediately waved his hand and said, "You mustn't. We haven't even been in the Crying Ghost Ridge for a day. It's still explainable that a madman appeared, but if 3 madmen really appeared, I'm afraid that the other people will know something's wrong. If they're alerted because of this, our losses will outweigh our gains. "
Fang Cheng pondered for a brief moment and sighed regretfully.
Zhu Guanhao reached out his hand and gently patted Hao Xue's back. He sighed and said, "Brother Hao, since he's your enemy, let's do an experiment. Let's do it."
Brother Hao responded to him and squatted beside the corpse. He retrieved a glove from his pocket and slowly put it on his right hand, then he pressed the corpse's head.
After a brief moment, he was elated. He exerted a little force and a "pop" was heard as the corpse's head cracked open.
Hao Xue moved at the speed of light and gently wiped the corpse's head. By the time he withdrew his hand, a small red bead was already on his finger.
The bead was not big as it was only the size of a finger's knuckle at most, but it was bright red and emitted a strange light.
Hao Xue and the other 2 people focused on the blood bead. Their eyes were bright, and they looked greedy and excited.
"Brother Hao, did you succeed?" Fang Cheng asked in a deep voice.
Even his voice was filled with excitement and anticipation.
Hao Xue closed his eyes and gently twisted the bead. After some time, he finally looked relieved. "I succeeded — this is a Blood Condensation Bead indeed."
Fang Cheng and Zhu Guanhao exchanged a look of wild joy. To them, this was definitely a heaven-sent piece of good news.
"Great. With the Blood Condensation Bead, the three of us should be able to break through our limits this time," Fang Cheng said in a deep voice. He could not hide the joy on his face.
Zhu Guanhao nodded slightly. Although he did not say anything, his eyes were also filled with unconcealable joy.
Hao Xue took a deep breath. He suddenly opened his sleeve and took out a large black leather bag. With a shake of his hand, the large leather bag opened up and wrapped the corpse on the ground.
Fang Cheng and Zhu Guanhao were not surprised by his actions because the corpse's head had already been split open. Anyone who saw this scene would have doubts, so they had to completely destroy the corpse.
After the three of them were done, they immediately used their Light Body Techniques and followed another path to leave the area.
They deliberately hid their tracks. Even when they were on their way here, they avoided the madman's path. Therefore, they never thought that someone would notice the tracks they left behind.

He Yiming followed closely behind 108 and walked slowly. He was full of confidence in 108. Since he said that he could find the other party, then he would definitely be able to find the other party.
Suddenly, 108 stopped.
He Yiming's eyes suddenly lit up. He whispered, "Brother Bai, you found them?"
108 nodded slightly and said, "You recognize them."
He Yiming was greatly surprised by this sentence. He frowned and asked, "Who are they?"
"They entered here with you, but they separated in the end."
He Yiming's heart trembled. He immediately understood the identities of the three people.
108 suddenly slapped his forehead. The back of his head suddenly flattened, and then an image appeared there. Although the image was not very clear, He Yiming still recognized the identities of the three people in the image at a glance.
"Hao Xue, Fang Cheng, and Zhu Guanhao?" He asked word by word.
Before this, He Yiming would never have guessed that it was the three people. He instantly understood why the three people wanted him and Jin Zhanzheng to travel together.
He reckoned that the three of them wanted to find a witness to prove that they had entered the Crying Ghost Ridge separately. It was just that He Yiming couldn't figure out how they managed to gather together in such an environment.
At this point, he had a new estimation of the strengths of the aristocratic families in the mainland. These big clans, which had been passed down for thousands of years and even had Venerable Ones, were indeed worthy of their reputations as they had endless mysterious techniques.
Having said that, he did not know that Hao Xue and the others invited them to travel together with murderous intentions. If it was not for the fact that there were too many people targeting them, causing the 3 Venerable Ones to be wary of each other, the 3 of them would have cooperated with the Venerable Ones from the Netherworld Sect to ruthlessly kill them.
The 3 people in the image seemed to be discussing something. Following that, Hao Xue gently shook the big leather bag in his hand and shook out a corpse.
The place where they stopped was actually a grassland, where dense mutated weeds that were half a person's height grew.
He Yiming was truly surprised that such a place existed in the Crying Ghost Ridge.
Hao Xue placed the corpse flat on the pile of weeds, then he retrieved a bottle from his body and poured a few drops of liquid inside. After some time, the 3 of them quickly turned around and left.
Although the three of them were very careful, their attention was only focused on their surroundings. They never thought that someone would be able to monitor their every move in such a way from afar.
Having said that, with the weird existence of 108, not to mention the 3 of them, even the 3 Venerable Ones would not be able to notice anything amiss in this environment.
Once the 3 of them were far away, He Yiming hesitated for a while before he arrived in front of the weeds.
His gaze first fell on the weeds, but to his horror, the corpses were gone.
A chill rose from the bottom of He Yiming's heart. He looked around, but he still did not notice anything. All of a sudden, he focused because he saw a pool of blood on the ground.
He was struck with a thought as he recalled the content recorded in an ancient book. According to an ancient record, some influential clans or sects could refine a magical medicinal powder. Once the powder was mixed with blood, it could gradually turn a living being's body into a pool of blood. In fact, it could even melt one's fur and clothes.
The melted blood had a strong nurturing effect on plants, and it could even cause some plants to mutate.
He Yiming looked at the weeds, which almost reached his waist, and seemed to have understood something.
He turned around and asked, "Brother Bai, has the corpse melted?"
108 nodded and answered calmly, "Yes, it's turned into a pool of blood and seeped into the grass."
A fierce luster flashed through He Yiming's eyes. He looked away and looked in the direction where Hao Xue and the 2 others left without saying a word for a long time …
