Chapter 22: The Ghost Wolf Gang

The two of them never dreamed that a tryst would turn out to be so unbearable!

What confused them even more was that after Senior Sister Wang descended, Lu Jin was nowhere to be seen!

He had run away!

“Senior Sister Wang Min! You must avenge me!”

Seeing the woman in red, Yang Dianfeng immediately wailed in pain, gnashing his teeth, causing a look of deep confusion to appear in Wang Min’s beautiful eyes.

“Hm? Junior Brother Yang, what happened to you? How did you get so heavily injured?”

“Senior Sister Wang! It was all that bastard named Lu Jin! He sneak-attacked and even injured Junior Sister Liu Ruyan, causing her to vomit blood endlessly!”

Yang Dianfeng said, looking toward the spot where Lu Jin had just vanished, but seeing no one.

“Where is he?”

Wang Min scanned the surroundings, even spreading out her Spiritual Energy to investigate, but she detected no aura.

“He ran away! Senior Sister Wang Min, my combat power has sharply declined. I’m afraid I can’t stand guard for you!”

Yang Dianfeng looked miserable, seemingly heartbroken over his inability to protect Wang Min.

“To dare injure people from my Scarlet Moon Holy Land… Who exactly is this Lu Jin? Do you know him?” Wang Min asked.

“Senior Sister, he was Liu Ruyan’s fiancé, but their relationship has completely broken down. Now he is our enemy!”

Wang Min looked at Liu Ruyan, and Liu Ruyan immediately said:

“Yes, Senior Sister! I have absolutely no relationship with him now! No, there is deep hatred between us. I wish I could skin him alive and swallow him whole!”

Wang Min looked at their faces and sneered coldly: “Attacked just after advancing your cultivation, you really are impressive.”

“And you!”

Wang Min looked at Yang Dianfeng: “With such cultivation, to be successfully ambushed and even lose your Blood Armor! After we return, Shizun Chiyu will definitely demand an explanation!”

Yang Dianfeng immediately said:

“I beg Senior Sister to take action and avenge me! In the future, I will willingly serve you like a beast of burden in return!”

Hearing Yang Dianfeng say this, Wang Min nodded. “That depends on your performance!”

“However, right now I still need a medicinal ingredient. Once this Senior Sister finds this ingredient, I will go kill that Lu Jin.”

“Before that, you two must search for the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit for me with all your strength!”

“Yes! Senior Sister, rest assured. Since someone said the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit grows in the Immortal Cloud Ravine, I will definitely go all out to help you find it!”

Hearing Yang Dianfeng’s words, Wang Min nodded, then casually tossed a pill in front of him:

“This is a healing pill left to me by Shizun. Now, you lucky brat can have it.”

“As for you.”

Wang Min looked at Liu Ruyan and said:

“Since you are someone Shizun has taken a fancy to, you must have some extraordinary qualities. But looking at things now, you don’t seem like much.”

That single sentence complicated the look in Liu Ruyan’s eyes. She immediately said:

“Senior Sister Wang, being ambushed right after breaking through, was truly unexpected. I dare not ask Senior Sister to kill Lu Jin for my revenge. I only wish to do more for Senior Sister Wang after joining the Scarlet Moon Holy Land, to show my sincerest intentions!”

Hearing this, Wang Min frowned, then sneered:

“Say less of such things in the future. After all, I don’t need your sincerity. But for Shizun’s sake, take this pill to heal your injuries first. Remember, after healing, find the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit for me immediately!”

“Yes! Thank you, Senior Sister Wang!”

Liu Ruyan became excited.

However, Wang Min’s attitude still made her feel very unhappy inside, but she could only endure it for now.

After the three finished speaking, Yang Dianfeng and Liu Ruyan swallowed the pills and began to heal. Wang Min stood guard for them.

Meanwhile, Lu Jin was speeding all the way toward the Immortal Cloud Ravine.

He was like a flying bird. After advancing to the Eighth-Grade Spirit Pearl Realm, his flying speed was even swifter and his range greater. Before long, he arrived at the outskirts of the Immortal Cloud Ravine.

However, he didn’t rush to find the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit. After devouring Yang Dianfeng’s Black Tortoise Blood Armor, he had condensed eight Spirit Pearls in his body. Furthermore, during the devouring process, the devouring force from Liu Ruyan’s cultivation of the Great Plunder Immortal Art had also been counter-devoured by the Coffin of Burying Heaven. So, he found a hidden corner and began to cultivate.

With the advancement of his cultivation, his practice of the Great Evolution Dragon Transformation Art deepened, and he needed to become more proficient with the Myriad Swords Paying Homage Art. Only through continuous comprehension and cultivation could his Sword Dao reach perfection and his combat power become stronger!

After cultivating for an unknown amount of time, he finally opened his eyes. A powerful aura emanated from his body, instantly blasting the surrounding vegetation into powder!

“This cultivation session consumed another three thousand spirit stones… A Third-Grade Golden Core expert advancing to Fourth-Grade probably wouldn’t use this amount.”

Lu Jin smiled calmly, then looked into the distance.

The Immortal Cloud Ravine was shrouded in a layer of mist.

At this time, it was just dawn. The sunlight revealed a rosy glow within the swirling mist, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

But as Lu Jin flew toward it, he faintly heard the sounds of fighting coming from that direction.

“Hm? Is the Immortal Cloud Ravine so lively nowadays?”

He was somewhat puzzled. Three years ago, this place was rarely visited by humans. Three years later, not only did he see Liu Ruyan here, but other cultivators had also arrived, and their numbers seemed not small!

Buzz!

While he was pondering, he suddenly saw a spiritual light curtain shrouding a large area of space in the void ahead. That light curtain was like a barrier, sealing off the Immortal Cloud Ravine.

A wave of Spiritual Energy fluctuation erupted and crashed into the light curtain, instantly causing ripples like a stone falling into a lake.

Watching from a distance, Lu Jin clearly saw a figure being defeated by another person beneath the light curtain, his body shooting backward in a wretched state.

“The Immortal Cloud Ravine has been sealed off? Are they preventing others from entering?”

Lu Jin frowned, said nothing more, and flew toward that patch of mountain forest.

When he arrived at the entrance of the Immortal Cloud Ravine, sure enough, he saw a group of men in black clothes guarding the place sealed by the light curtain ahead. The person Lu Jin had seen earlier was kneeling on the ground, spitting blood, his expression painful, yet gnashing his teeth.

“Ghost Wolf Gang! You dare touch me today? My Listening Tide Pavilion experts will slaughter your gang until not a single piece of armor remains!”

Hearing this, the Ghost Wolf Gang expert smiled calmly, his face full of disdain:

“I’d like to see if your Listening Tide Pavilion experts dare to offend my Ghost Wolf Gang because of you!”

Squelch

As the Ghost Wolf Gang expert’s voice fell, the Spiritual Energy in his hand instantly condensed into a blade, slicing off the Listening Tide Pavilion expert’s head.

Lu Jin wasn’t the only one witnessing this scene.

In the space in front of Lu Jin, experts from other factions also witnessed this killing with their own eyes. Their expressions were complicated, but they remained silent.

After killing the man, the Ghost Wolf Gang expert became even more arrogant:

“Anyone else want to test the methods of my Ghost Wolf Gang? If you don’t have the guts, then obediently hand over two thousand spirit stones!”
