Cave No. 56.
Hearing the lazy voice of the knocker, Pang Jian and Jiang Li's expressions changed slightly.
"This evil star..."
Jiang Li's little face showed worry, and she said anxiously: "My junior sister happens to be not here! One of his arms was broken because of you. He came here specially, maybe to seek revenge on you!"
"Don't worry, this is the first peak of Yuanmang."
Pang Jian quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "The practitioners stationed at the First Peak are strictly prohibited from fighting each other, and no one is allowed to break the rules."
While trying to comfort Jiang Li, he still stood up and opened the stone door, not knowing Qi Qingsong's intentions.
Outside the cave.
Qi Qingsong, dressed in blue, is not much different from the one he wore in Bagua City. The broken arm has also grown back, with a bright smile on his face.
"Hey, you're here too."
Without waiting for Pang Jian's invitation, Qi Qingsong smiled and nodded to Jiang Li in the cave, pushed Pang Jian away who was blocking the door, and walked in on his own.
"Have you two finished talking about things?"
Qi Qingsong sat on the wooden chair as if he was the master, looking at Jiang Li and Pang Jian with a smile.
Jiang Li opened her mouth to speak.
Qi Qingsong spoke again: "Pang Jian and I have something to say. If you don't have anything important, come to him next time."
Jiang Li took a breath, gained courage, and shouted softly: "Qi Qingsong, my cultivation level is low and I am no match for you. But my junior sister Zhao Yuanqi has the best personal relationship with me. If you dare to confront Pang Jian …”
Qi Qingsong laughed dumbly, shook his head, and said: "What are you thinking? This is the first peak of Yuanmang, and I dare not deny Mr. Cao's face. As for me, I haven't seen my good friend for a long time, and I want to be alone. Just catching up on old times."
"friend……"
Pang Jian subconsciously looked at Qi Qingsong's regrown arm.
He thought of the Bagua City. When he was approaching step by step with a gun, this person shouted loudly that he would be his friend.
After leaving Bagua City, Qi Qingsong, who had climbed two realms in a row, changed from an outer disciple of Jianlou to an inner disciple again.
Recently, this person has been very popular in the second and third realms, and has already reached the level of Dongxuan Realm.
Therefore, when he said the word "friend", Pang Jian felt that it was a malicious ridicule.
Thinking that this was the first peak of Yuanmang, Pang Jian pondered for a moment and then said to Jiang Li, "It's okay. I'll talk to him alone."
"Well, then..."
Jiang Li looked back at Qi Qingsong uneasily after taking a few steps.
When she left the cave, she did not forget to say: "I'm just outside. If Pang Jian needs anything, please say hello."
After saying this, she closed the stone door.
Outside the cave.
She saw a man and a woman talking together. From time to time she looked towards Cave No. 56 and exclaimed: "Ah, you guys!"
The woman was the one who had been with Pang Jian at the trading floor.
"It's really Qi Qingsong from Jianlou..."
Han Ting, who had just returned from the trading market, saw a young man in blue entering Pang Jian's cave. She saw Gao Yuan standing on the stone path with a surprised expression. After asking about it, she found out the identity of the visitor.
Just when she was feeling shocked, she saw Jiang Li coming out and nodded in a friendly manner with a smile.
Jiang Li forced a smile, stood with them, and said curiously: "You..."
"Brother Pang's friend."
Gao Yuan quickly expressed his stance.
Han Ting just said "Yeah".
She didn't know how to define it. She felt that the relationship between her and Pang Jian was not yet at the level of "friends", but she didn't deny it.
Upon hearing that the two were friends of Pang Jian, Jiang Li said seriously: "I am really... very lucky to be his friend!"
Inside the cave.
Before Pang Jian could speak, Qi Qingsong frowned and said, "Give me your token to attend the meeting."
"Why?"
Pang Jian said curiously.
"If that thing is here, it will be inconvenient for you and me to talk."
Qi Qingsong nodded on the table and signaled Pang Jian to place the tokens on it.
Pang Jian came over as he was told and threw the token at his finger.
A piece of clear amethyst suddenly appeared from Qi Qingsong's palm. There were bunches of purple electricity intertwined inside the amethyst, turning into a mysterious pattern.
It was this piece of amethyst that he placed on top of Pang Jian's token, like a shield that blocked out something.
"With this order here, whenever the names of Old Monster Cao and Madam Hua are mentioned, as well as some key and sensitive words, Madam Hua can vaguely sense them."
After covering the token with amethyst, Qi Qingsong immediately relaxed a lot.
He lazily pressed his back against the wooden chair, crossed his legs, and said: "Old Monster Cao showed off to me, saying that they built the first peak of Yuanmang into a large array, and the energy and blood of the residents were As long as the vitality suddenly drops sharply or the soul is annihilated here, Madam Hua will be able to detect it immediately!"
"On the first peak, Mrs. Hua has been laying out the plan since she drilled through the rock wall to build a cave."
"As long as something happens to someone on the first peak, Mrs. Hua will know immediately and will immediately send someone to investigate or even take action herself."
Qi Qingsong revealed the mystery
Pang Jian's expression changed: "Token is spying on everyone secretly?"
He suddenly felt shuddering when he thought of what he had done in the cave these days, transporting golden obsidian and sun essence stones to the fifth realm with bronze medals, and getting the ice crystal beast's horn from the fifth realm.
"I can't pry, I can only listen occasionally."
Qi Qingsong smiled and shook his head, explaining: "Mrs. Hua doesn't have that much energy to eavesdrop on the conversations of all the residents at the first peak of Yuanmang. She can only pay attention when someone mentions Old Monster Cao and her name. Come, maybe you’ll be distracted and listen carefully.”
"At one point in time, when many people mentioned her and Old Monster Cao's names at the same time, she couldn't take care of both."
"Don't worry, it's not as mysterious as you think."
Old God Qi Qingsong said.
"oh."
Pang Jian then sat down on the futon, leaning against the hard rock wall, frowning and asked, "How did you know I was here?"
"The horn of the seventh-level ice crystal beast is worth 400,000 spirit stones. This is the largest transaction in the trading field today."
Qi Qingsong smiled calmly and said: "You made such a big noise, it's hard not to attract attention. In the trading pit, Jiang Li even called out your name. I asked about it and I knew it was you.
"Besides, I also guessed that you should be in Yuanmang Broken Land."
Qi Qingsong frowned when he said the last sentence.
"You know I'm in Yuanmang Broken Land?"
Pang Jian shouted in shock.
"call!"
Qi Qingsong suddenly took out the two blue and white porcelain wine jars from the storage bracelet, and threw one to Pang Jian. He tore the seal of the other one himself, took two sips of wine, and then said, "Drink and chat."
"oh."
Pang Jian politely tore open the oil-stained seal and immediately smelled the tangy aroma of wine.
After taking two sips, he felt the mellow body of the wine entering his stomach, and his body warmed up little by little.
Compared with Zhou Qingchen's wine, the wine in Qi Qingsong's wine jar was not spicy enough and was extremely soft and smooth in the mouth.
"You kid, I had no grievances with you back then, but you were only at Tongmai Realm, and yet you dared to stab me with a spear for that stupid big guy Zhou Qingchen." Qi Qingsong sighed with emotion, with a strange look in his eyes. He looked at Pang Jian and said angrily: "And twice!"
Seeing him settling old scores as soon as he came up, Pang Jian remained silent and just lowered his head to drink.
"After the failure, under the pursuit of Mr. Dong, you sent Zhou Qingchen into the mirror tunnel while you stayed."
Qi Qingsong drank while talking, with a hint of wistfulness gradually appearing in his eyes.
Pang Jian glanced at it and felt...his drinking capacity didn't seem to be very good.
This guy seemed to be drinking just to say things he wouldn't normally say in his drunken state.
"Pang Jian, I learned that after you came to Yuanmang and settled at the First Peak, you faced a choice..."
Qi Qingsong took a few more sips of wine, his face was already red, and he frowned and said: "In Bagua City, you forced me to cut off my arm. I once said that I would be your... friend. You know, Of course it’s not sincere.”
Pang Jian nodded slightly.
"so!"
Qi Qingsong snorted coldly and said: "So, with my current cultivation in the Dongxuan Realm, my status in the Sword Tower, and the fact that Old Monster Cao deliberately currying favor with me, I can take revenge for that day!"
"The moment you step into this cave, I can be your enemy. I will ridicule you first, and then ask Old Monster Cao to find any excuse to drive you out of the first peak."
"As long as you leave the First Peak, I can immediately attack you and wash away the humiliation you have done to me in Bagua City."
"Remember, it's still two times! No, three times!"
Qi Qingsong stretched out two fingers first.
After thinking about it, he felt it was not enough, so he added another finger and said angrily: "You made me cut off my arm once! You dared to attack me, Qi Qingsong, twice with the Tongmai Realm cultivation level, which is also an insult to me!"
Pang Jian drank in silence, listening to him pour out his heart.
"The boy from the Tianbao Li family naturally has an extraordinary status, and he has a very good impression of you. However, after I broke through two realms in a row and became a disciple of the inner sect of Jianlou again, his status as a Li family cannot suppress me!"
Qi Qingsong smiled proudly, showing his madness: "I was one of the most talented people in Jianlou back then, but I encountered some setbacks because I was seeking a breakthrough in the unity of heaven and man."
"After I was promoted to Innate in the state of unity between man and nature that I longed for, I strangled my inner demons!"
"I got back everything that belongs to me!"
The more Qi Qingsong talked, the more he drank. The more he drank, the more he drank. He gurgled and drank.
Without using his spiritual power to eliminate the influence of the alcohol, he had a poor drinking tolerance and gradually became drunk.
He boasted a bit about himself, and after going around in a big circle, he finally got back to the topic.
"One is to avenge the humiliation I suffered in Bagua City, and the other is to put aside my grudges and fulfill the promise I made under your force... to become your friend."
"I thought about it for a long time, and finally I chose the latter. I want to be friends with you, Pang Jian."
"I know that you have strange intentions and that you have your own secrets, but I, Qi Qingsong, am not afraid of you. I even believe that I can get rid of you on the first peak of Yuanmang!"
"I will choose the latter and choose to be friends with you, just because of the way you treat that stupid big guy Zhou Qingchen!"
"I also long for a friend who would risk his life to cross the border and face an enemy that is impossible to defeat for me. I also hope to have a friend who would rather stay and die than send me away alive."
"I, Qi Qingsong, have never met a friend in my life who can show him my whole back without worrying about betrayal or who will never worry about him stabbing me in the back!"
