The towering cliffs on the ground seemed unreachable, but in the eyes of Hao Xue's duo, it was just so-so. Their movements were as fast as lightning, and in just a moment, they had already crossed over the mountains.
Ever since they left Crying Ghost Ridge, even Fang Cheng did not suggest to go back to collect more Blood Condensation Pearls. Instead, he quietly followed behind Hao Xue.
After leaving Crying Ghost Ridge, even Fang Cheng had an unforgettable fear when he recalled his experience in the past 20 days. As long as there was a slight possibility, he did not want to go back in again.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the agreed upon location.
Nonetheless, they were disappointed because they did not find Zhu Guanhao here.
Fang Cheng furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "What's going on? Brother Zhu hasn't come out yet? "
Faintly, both of them had an ominous feeling in their hearts. However, when they thought about how they had come out, there was no reason why Zhu Guanhao, whose martial arts cultivation base was on par with theirs, could not have escaped.
Hao Xue fell silent for a brief moment, then he turned his wrist to take out a small bottle. He opened the bottle cap and poured out a blood-red bead. "Brother Fang, this is yours."
Fang Cheng's face changed. He hesitated for a while before he finally reached out to take the bead carefully. Following that, he retrieved a jade bottle of the same style and put the Blood Condensation Pearl inside.
There were already 2 Blood Condensation Pearls inside the bottle. Together with the one that Hao Xue gave him, he now had 3 Blood Condensation Pearls that he needed to become a Venerable One.
He put the jade bottle away and solemnly said, "Many thanks."
Hao Xue waved his hand and said, "The 3 of us have known each other for more than 200 years. We're not biological brothers, but even if we are, we're not as close as we are." He looked at the jade bottle in his hand and added, "There's another Blood Condensation Pearl here, and it's for Brother Zhu."
Fang Cheng took a deep breath. After obtaining 3 Blood Condensation Pearls and knowing that he would definitely become a Venerable One, his mental state changed drastically.
He raised his eyebrows and expressed loudly, "Brother Hao, once the 3 of us become Venerable Ones, we'll join hands again. When that time comes, we'll travel the world and … "A luster flashed in his eyes as he continued," Once I master the divine technique, I'll surely fight Jin Zhangzheng again and see if he can still be as invincible as before. "
Fang Cheng's voice was filled with resentment. In the past, he had suffered because of Jin Zhangzheng, so he had a deep memory of it.
Hao Xue naturally understood that when Fang Cheng said that he was invincible in the world, he was referring to those below Venerable One.
Once one became a Venerable One, one would change tremendously. Some people were unknown below Venerable Ones, but once they became Venerable Ones, they would soar into the sky. After all, they were, Venerable Ones, and they were, they were Venerable ones,, Venerable ones, and, Venerable Ones.....
Of course, the reason for this change was an eternal mystery. Even the people of the Divine Dao of the past were greatly puzzled by this, and they didn't have a conclusion.
Therefore, even though Fang Cheng could not defeat Jin Zhangzheng when he was below Venerable One, he was confident that he could compete with him after becoming a Venerable One.
Hao Xue had the same expression on his face. He looked in the direction of Crying Ghost Ridge and moved his lips as if he was mumbling something. The fighting spirit that burst out from his eyes shocked even Fang Cheng, who was next to him.
After half an hour, the faces of Ou Yangming and Hao Xue turned ghastly.
Up until this point, Zhu Guanhao still had not shown up. As stupid as they were, they knew something must have happened to him, and he was probably doomed.
They looked at each other and thought of the same person at the same time.
The mysterious powerhouse from the Netherworld Sect that suddenly appeared.
If it was the 1,000-year catastrophe, it would be difficult for them to leave Crying Ghost Ridge alive. If the catastrophe did not happen, Zhu Guanhao's disappearance was related to that person.
Fang Cheng asked with a gloomy face, "Brother Hao, do you think that person is an assassin from the Netherworld Sect?"
Hao Xue nodded and answered, "The Concealment Art, the Camouflage Art, and the Cross Sword. If it's only one of them, it might be fake, but with all three, it can't be fake."
Fang Cheng nodded after some thought, but the worry in his eyes did not diminish at all. "If he's really an assassin from the Netherworld Sect and wants to kill Brother Zhu on purpose, given his strength, there's a high chance that he'll succeed in an environment like Crying Ghost Ridge."
That person had attacked Fang Cheng in Crying Ghost Ridge. If it was not for his family's unique light-body technique, which was unparalleled in the world, which allowed him to turn into an afterimage to dodge at the critical moment, Fang Cheng would have stayed in Crying Ghost Ridge forever.
Hao Xue furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Brother Fang, I've revealed the relationship between our clan and the Netherworld Sect, so he probably won't attack Brother Zhu."
Fang Cheng shook his head and said, "Under normal circumstances, he won't attack Brother Zhu, of course. But don't forget that he already knows the function of a Blood Condensation Pearl, and Brother Zhu has 2 of them. "
Hao Xue's face changed. "That person who died."
Fang Cheng nodded and responded gloomily, "That's right. Together with the dead person, he'll have 3 Blood Condensation Pearls. Faced with this temptation, what won't he dare to do? "
Hao Xue had a ghastly look on his face. Fang Cheng's words made sense. A powerhouse who had cultivated to the Tripod's Feet State and was troubled about how to break through suddenly came to know of such a method that could allow him to become a Venerable One. In that case, he would definitely abandon all his fears. As long as he could achieve his goal, killing a person was nothing.
Hao Xue's face slowly turned green. If that was the case, Zhu Guanhao would have been indirectly killed by him.
Fang Cheng understood how Hao Xue felt. He straightened his back and said, "Hao Xue, I plan to enter Crying Ghost Ridge again."
Hao Xue raised his eyebrows. Without saying a word, he strode forward like a shooting star.
Fang Cheng looked relieved. After cultivating for over 200 years, he had seen through the ways of the world. Nevertheless, regardless of whether one was good or bad, one should more or less make 1 or 2 trustworthy friends in one's life.
Such friends would not only share one's glory with one, but they would also help one without any hesitation when one was in danger.
One should at least have one such friend in one's life.
His body swayed slightly as he performed the peculiar body technique, and he overtook Hao Xue in an instant.
Nevertheless, just as Fang Cheng and Ou Yangming ran several meters away, they were dazzled. A black-clothed man with a black mask and an ordinary figure had unknowingly stood in front of them and blocked their path.
Fang Cheng and Hao Xue tensed up. They looked at each other and said, "Greetings, Venerable One Ding."
The person had covered his face, but the aura that he released on purpose did not change at all. It was Ding Liyin the Venerable One from the Netherworld Sect.
Ding Liyin looked at them and noted, "Since you've left Crying Ghost Ridge, you can't go back in."
Hao Xue's face twitched as he asked, "Why?"
Ding Liyin's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, "Have you forgotten the taboo of the Crying Ghost Ridge?"
Hao Xue and Fang Cheng's faces changed. They were so agitated earlier that they had forgotten about it.
Although the Crying Ghost Ridge was a supreme blessed land for cultivation, there were several taboos that were well known between the major forces of the East and the West.
Venerable Ones and above could not enter. Below that, only powerhouses with the Three Flowers and the Cauldron's Legs could enter. Only after the war between the East and the West broke out and the gray fog in Crying Ghost Ridge turned black could one enter. One could not enter from the peak of Crying Ghost Ridge, and one could only stay in the ridge for a month at most.
Other than that, there was another taboo, which was that one could not frequently enter Crying Ghost Ridge.
Especially at this time, once one left the ridge, one could not enter again, or one might trigger a millennium catastrophe. If that was the case, everyone who was still in Crying Ghost Ridge would die a graveless death.
Hao Xue's face changed as he expressed, "Venerable One Ding, one of our brothers hasn't returned yet, so please make an exception for us."
Ding Liyin shook his head without any hesitation. "If your brother hasn't been invaded by the Yin Qi, he'll surely come out. If you enter now, I'm afraid that you'll trigger a catastrophe instead. By then, not only will you harm him, but you'll also be implicated. "
Hao Xue and Fang Cheng looked at each other. The elder's words were not pleasant, but he was telling the truth.
Ding Liyin sighed and said, "You have strong Yin Qi, so any Venerable One can tell at a glance that you came from inside. Even if I don't stop you now, you won't be able to enter. " He turned around and added, "There are more than 10 Venerable Ones nearby, and they're top-notch powerhouses from various forces. They didn't care when you came out, but if you still want to go in, hehe … Go in lying down. They won't allow you to hurt their juniors."
Fang Cheng and Hao Xue's faces instantly darkened, but they knew Ding Liyin was telling the truth.
After a brief moment, Hao Xue asked, "Sir Venerable One Ding, how many Cross-sword-wielding Assassins from the Netherworld Sect came this time? What's their cultivation bases?"
Ding Liyin was slightly stunned. He did not want to answer, but when he thought about the relationship between Great Ancestor Yellow Spring and the Hao family, he pondered and answered, "A total of 4 people came, and they're all Three Flower powerhouses."
Fang Cheng and Hao Xue exchanged glances. They immediately guessed that the person they met in Crying Ghost Ridge was one of the Cross-sword-wielding Assassins who had just advanced to the Tripod Foot.
They were slightly relieved. If he had just advanced to the Tripod Foot, given Zhu Guanhao's strength, he should be able to deal with him.
Both of them looked at the Crying Ghost Ridge at the same time. Looking at the dense and seemingly endless black fog, both of them silently prayed in their hearts at the same time …
