"It's impossible that Lin Youlan leaked it; perhaps it was Lord Specter,"
Zhang Bin muttered in his heart. However, not only was he not displeased, he was actually quite delighted.
He was trying to find a way to reveal his identity.
The goal was singular: to let Princess Hani know.
Then, observe her reaction.
And based on her reaction, determine whether she was under the soul control of a Living Ghost.
If she wasn't, then he could join forces with Hanbing Yun.
Of course, he must first gain Hanbing Yun's forgiveness.
"Zhang Bin, do you know which sect I am from?"
Yun Feiyang, with a familiar air, patted Zhang Bin's shoulder and asked with a smile.
"You're also from the surface world?"
Zhang Bin's heart stirred as he inquired.
"Of course," Yun Feiyang said, "All ten of us are from the surface world. I am from the Kunlun Sect."
"What? You're from the Kunlun Sect?"
Zhang Bin jumped up, looking at Yun Feiyang as if he were a fool, wanting to slap him twice in disbelief that such a fool existed in the world, abandoning the Dragon Canon of Kunlun to beco a Sacrificial Ghost here in Youming?
"Yes, what's so strange about that?" Yun Feiyang said, equally bewildered, "Even though I joined Youming, I am still a Kunlun disciple. Since Youming doesn't care about the disciples' origins, nor do they force a change of sect."
"Nothing, I just find it odd. The Dragon Canon of Kunlun is incredibly amazing, not inferior to the Hundred Tribulations Divine Skill, right? Why join Youming for cultivation?"
Zhang Bin feigned a very puzzled expression.
"You don't know. Although I'm a Kunlun disciple with good talent, I'm not the best. So, my progress in the Dragon Canon is slow, and I haven't even beco a Half-Dragon yet. Thus, I descended the mountain for training. I fell in love with Lotus Princess, and she said I could grow strong quickly in Youming, and reaching the Ascension Realm isn't impossible. So, I ca to the Youming Sect."
"Alas..."
Zhang Bin secretly sighed, as Youming's tactics were highly clever.
Tricking geniuses like Yun Feiyang was no less than child's play.
Yet, he was slightly happy inside because there was a chance Yun Feiyang wasn't a descendant of Living Ghosts.
Of course, this possibility couldn't be completely ruled out.
Perhaps the Living Ghost sent their descendants to other sects to learn external cultivation techniques.
Once mastered, they'd return.
"Whether you're a descendant of a Living Ghost, I will discern very soon."
Zhang Bin's face bore a mysterious smile.
"Zhang Bin, to stand out in Youming and beco incredibly powerful, we need a great opportunity. Let's explore the forbidden zone together and seek Heaven and Earth Treasures?" Yun Feiyang eagerly suggested.
"Alright."
After a mont's thought, Zhang Bin nodded in agreent.
So, they found another companion, a newly arrived disciple nad Wu Pan from Nei Wudang.
Like Yun Feiyang, he had reached the Golden Core Mid-Stage.
Of course, he was also very formidable. After all, he was an extraordinarily rare genius; otherwise, Youming Sect wouldn't have tricked him here.
Youming has four major forbidden zones: Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone, Phoenix Forbidden Zone, Peacock Forbidden Zone, and Heavenly Horse Forbidden Zone, each rich with various Heaven and Earth Treasures suitable for exploration by cultivators of the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Union, and Ascension Realms respectively.
Given their strength, naturally, they could only explore the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone.
"If we could get Mighty Spinach, that would be aweso. We'd beco much stronger."
Wu Pan exclaid excitedly.
Zhang Bin was equally thrilled. He had witnessed the terrifying strength of Ding Tianxia, which surpassed even his own because Ding Tianxia had consud Mighty Spinach.
If he obtained a lot of such treasures, he and the disciples of Taiqing Sect would beco much stronger.
Besides, the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone didn't only have treasures like Mighty Spinach.
There were more treasures and Heavenly Earth Elixirs.
Now he needed to refine a pill to make his breakthrough—the Qingling Pill.
He lacked several types of Spiritual dicine.
Moreover, he was eager to acquire Heaven and Earth Treasures on the sa level as Dragon Qi.
Perhaps, he'd find it in the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone.
Soon, they controlled their swords and arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone.
The entrance was truly terrifying; it was a deep pool from which blood oozed and exuded a strong, bloody sll, looking quite horrifying.
Yun Feiyang apparently had prepared well. He took out a booklet obtained from sowhere, handing it to Zhang Bin, "Make sure to read it carefully and rember all the precautions; otherwise, the likelihood of falling is too great."
Less than one-tenth of the cultivators entering the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone co out alive.
Too many disciples perished within.
So, many are those who wrote these booklets exchanged for Spirit Stones and cultivation resources after erging from the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone.
Yun Feiyang, of course, acquired it by exchanging Spirit Stones.
Zhang Bin and Wu Pan carefully read and diligently morized it.
"Let's go in."
The three swiftly took off their clothes, even going bare.
Because wearing them was useless, they'd soon be incinerated to ashes by the blood pool.
With a splash, they all jumped into the blood pool.
"Ahhh..."
Almost simultaneously, they emitted incredibly sharp cries of agony.
Their faces were painted with expressions of pain.
That was the first hurdle upon entering Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone.
Dragon Blood Refinent.
One had to endure an hour within the Dragon Blood Pool to be transported into the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone.
Otherwise, they lacked even the qualification to enter.
If one reached a higher realm like the Nascent Soul Realm, entry was impossible; the Teleportation Array only transported cultivators of the Golden Core Realm.
Even though Youming Sect had many genius disciples, only a rare few could pass this stage, like a Phoenix's feather.
"There's treasure to be had."
"Hahaha..."
"Gaga..."
Suddenly, over a dozen Youming Sect disciples sward from all directions, laughing excitedly with faces full of anticipation.
Their eyes saw Zhang Bin and his companions as dead n.
They were, of course, waiting for Zhang Bin and his companions to dissolve in the Dragon Blood Pool, then salvage their Space Rings and Magical Treasures, etc.
Even worse, the senior who sold the booklet to Yun Feiyang was among them.
His smile was particularly sinister.
Because he hadn't detailed the pool's horror in the booklet. He hadn't ntioned that many disciples couldn't withstand the tyrannical Dragon Blood Refinent and were directly dissolved.
He exaggerated the treasures in the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone.
Making it sound as if the place was littered with treasures.
The purpose was to lure newcors like Yun Feiyang into the Dragon Blood Pool to dissolve into blood water.
And then collect their treasures.
"Ahhh..."
Zhang Bin and his companions had no ti to pay attention to the seniors at the pool's edge as they continued to emit harrowing cries.
Even Zhang Bin cried, not feigned.
Because the pool was terrifying, like molten iron at thousands of degrees.
Rapidly dissolving their bodies.
