In the bright pearl cave, Qi Qingsong was drunk and drowsy.
He sat lazily on a wooden chair, dangling his legs, and poured out his heart while drinking.
On the futon next to him, Pang Jian leaned against the hard rock wall. He didn't speak, just drank in silence.
Qi Qingsong, who was drunk, seemed to be pouring out all his troubled thoughts over the years.
He began to talk about how prosperous he was in the past and how much Jianlou valued him when he was an inner disciple.
He also talked about some of the disgusting behaviors of his former inner sect brothers after he was reduced from an inner sect disciple to an outer sect disciple.
Pang Jian, who never talks much, plays the role of a listener very well.
He listened patiently to Qi Qingsong's account of his past.
From this, we learned that Qi Qingsong had been depressed for a long time before entering the Bagua City trial.
In those years, he didn't even have anyone to talk to, and it could be said that he had experienced all the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
Pang Jian didn't know how to comfort him, so he just drank in silence and listened to him talking to himself.
Gradually, Qi Qingsong started snoring softly in the cave and fell asleep without warning.
"A genius who once hit rock bottom and now shines again."
Pang Jian looked at him and commented softly.
After a long time.
"Dong dong dong!"
The rapid knocking on the door not only woke up Pang Jian who was in trance, but also woke up Qi Qingsong who was deeply asleep.
"Well, I actually fell asleep."
Qi Qingsong looked a little embarrassed. He casually rubbed the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, wiped the saliva from his mouth, and said with a calm smile: "It seems that I really trust you."
Pang Jian nodded slightly.
"I am Zhao Yuanqi!"
The cold and arrogant girl's soft drink came from outside the door.
Qi Qingsong, who had slept for a while, took a deep breath and said in surprise: "Zhao Yuanqi from Hongshan?"
"call!"
Suddenly, the rich aroma of wine floated out from the pores all over his body.
The alcohol that affected his mental clarity was expelled from his body in a very short time in this way.
When Pang Jian stood up and opened the stone door, Zhao Yuanqi suddenly approached and smelled the pungent smell of wine.
"you two……"
The silver-haired girl carrying the big gourd frowned and said with a cold and delicate face: "How much wine did you drink while hiding in the cave?"
Outside the cave, Jiang Li, who was peering in, also choked on the strong smell of wine.
"I didn't drink much, it's just that I'm not a good drinker and I wanted to drink a few more sips."
Qi Qingsong said calmly.
He waved his sleeves, and the sharp sword intent and the strong wind swept all the smell of alcohol out of the cave.
When the smell of alcohol in the cave had almost dissipated, the silver-haired girl hummed softly before entering the cave.
She quickly closed the stone door.
Once the stone door is closed, ordinary people cannot hear the conversation inside unless they are in a state of concentration like Lei Kun.
——This is also the wonderful thing about the First Peak Cave Mansion.
"This token..."
Her eyes showed a strange color, she looked at the token pressed by the amethyst, and asked: "In order to prevent prying eyes from interested parties?"
Qi Qingsong smiled and nodded.
"you two……"
Zhao Yuanqi, who had something to say, frowned and looked at Qi Qingsong, looking a little hesitant.
Pang Jian took the initiative and said: "Friend."
Qi Qingsong woke up and smiled brightly: "Yes, Pang Jian and I are good friends, we talk about everything!"
He deliberately added the word "good".
"Oh, if that's the case..."
Zhao Yuanqi, who heard that the two of them had a quarrel, seemed a little doubtful, but did not shy away from anything. She said seriously: "Pang Jian, I asked someone to find out. The person you and Senior Sister Jiang talked about was probably given by Old Monster Cao." Captured alive.”
"Old Monster Cao?"
Pang Jian suddenly stood up and said with a sullen face: "We have no grudges against Mr. Cao!"
After thinking about it carefully, he was sure that they had no interaction with the old monster Cao, and he really didn't understand why the controller of Yuanmang Shattered Land would capture Luo Hongyan alive.
"hehe."
Qi Qingsong narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said: "So, you went to help Pang Jian to find out the news."
"What do you have in mind?"
Zhao Yuanqi stood in the center of the cave, looking at him without fear, not feeling uneasy because he was an inner disciple of Jianlou.
"It can only be said to be a coincidence."
Qi Qingsong twitched the corner of his mouth.
He tapped the wooden table with his fingers, gradually suppressed his smile, and said solemnly: "Pang Jian, I came here specifically to tell you this. My news is more accurate and detailed than hers. Because my information comes from Mr. Cao himself!"
Pang Jian put on a posture of listening attentively.
Zhao Yuanqi was slightly surprised, nodded, and admitted: "My information is relatively vague. It's just that someone saw Old Monster Cao and a beautiful woman wearing a veil having a conflict at a huge meteorite outside Yuanmang."
"As for why the two started fighting and what grudge the two have, I really don't know."
Zhao Yuanqi told the truth.
Pang Jian took a breath and said coldly: "We attended his rally and acted according to his rules. Why did he suddenly kill him?"
"Is such that……"
Qi Qingsong told the truth that he had planned to convey.
The gathering held by Mr. Cao did not require him to personally host it in the past few days, so he went out recently.
On his way back, when he passed a meteorite scattered area outside Yuanmang, a strange treasure on his body suddenly appeared.
Strange Cao was surprised, so he used the rare treasure to check it out, and saw that an array capable of locking souls had been engraved on the inside of a meteorite, with many evil spirits gathering inside.
Lingyun Sanren from Sanxian Island was also among them.
Old Monster Cao suddenly became suspicious, so he used the exotic treasure on his body to kill the spirit evil spirits, forcing the master to show himself.
Not long after, he saw a beautiful woman wearing a veil flying out of his Yuan Mang Shattered Land angrily.
A conflict broke out as soon as the two sides met.
As a result, the woman was captured alive by Old Monster Cao.
During the battle, the woman used the secret technique of the blood moon, and she also knew how to condense the spirit evil. This made Old Monster Cao even more surprised. After capturing her, he immediately contacted the elders of the Yinling Temple.
The elder of Yinling Temple immediately confirmed that the woman he captured alive was a remnant of the Blood Spirit Sect that they had suppressed for many years.
At the same time, Jiuyuan also came after hearing the news.
Blood Moon, Yinling Temple, and at the same time begged the old monster Cao for the woman.
Old Monster Cao didn't want to offend either side. After thinking for a moment, he decided to sell the captured woman as a rare treasure for the last day. He also planned to price one million spiritual stones for Blood Moon and Yinling Temple to draw lots. way to obtain.
"Old Monster Cao told me about this and said that the woman's body was recast with crystal snow lotus."
After Qi Qingsong finished speaking, he added: "As soon as I guessed, I knew it was Luo Hongyan from the city lord's palace that day, and I immediately thought that you should be in Yuanmang. By coincidence, you actually took out the horn of the seventh-level ice crystal beast to sell, Jiang Li He also called out your name, so I came here specially."
Zhao Yuanqi nodded: "It is indeed more detailed than my news."
Pang Jian calmed down, forced himself to calm down, and then sat down on the futon.
He finally understood why Luo Hongyan suddenly disappeared without saying a word.
There was no Luo Hongyan specially used to hold Lingsha artifacts, so he placed Lingsha on a meteorite outside Yuanmang for emergencies.
Because that den was suddenly attacked by Monster Cao, she was worried that all the spirit evil spirits would die, so she hurried over to check it out.
As a result, he was suppressed by the sophisticated Cao Laoguai.
Because this matter happened outside Yuanmang Broken Land, and Old Monster Cao deliberately concealed it, very few people knew about it.
"Blood Moon, Yinling Temple, Old Monster Cao..."
Pang Jian whispered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming more serious.
"Pang Jian, the woman named Luo, I heard that she is a remnant of the Blood Spirit Sect. The Blood Spirit Sect didn't have a very good reputation in the past. Old Monster Cao was quite polite to me, but my status is still not good enough for me. He will release the man named Luo."
"Moreover, it also involves Blood Moon and Yinling Temple. I really can't help."
Qi Qingsong, who understood the situation before coming over, expressed his stance with a wry smile.
Then, he took out a blue robe often worn by Jianlou disciples, with a Jianlou logo on it.
He placed this robe on the wooden table and pressed it with a bright silver token with the logo of Jianlou.
"This token can make you an outer disciple of Jianlou. I'm afraid neither you nor I can save her, but I can take you out of Yuanmang safely. As long as you put on this robe and hang a With this silver medal, no matter what relationship you had with her before, I can keep you safe."
Qi Qingsong said sincerely.
Zhao Yuanqi was stunned for a moment and said, "It seems that I don't need to recommend you to Hongshan anymore."
She had thought about it on the way here.
She planned to use her status in Hongshan to introduce Pang Jian to Hongshan so that Pang Jian could avoid this disaster.
Zhou Qingchen and Han Duping had already made it clear to her that Pang Jian was just a hunter from the Silent Mountains in the fourth realm.
Before she met Pang Jian, she promised Zhou Qingchen and Jiang Li that when Pang Jian showed up in the future, she would recommend Pang Jian to Hongshan in her capacity.
This trip happened to coincide with Luo Hongyan's accident. As long as Pang Jian left Luo Hongyan alone, she was confident that she could take Pang Jian away safely.
"You are an outer disciple of my Sword Tower. It is not a big problem to kill Zhu Yuanxi who is in the Blood Moon Innate Realm. However, you must not get involved with Luo Hongyan. The Blood Spirit Sect is really too sensitive."
Qi Qingsong advised.
"Well, the Blood Spirit Sect has a bad reputation. It makes people happy when the sect is destroyed. You should not have anything to do with this sect."
Zhao Yuanqi also nodded slightly.
"You two go out first and leave me alone. I need to think about it myself."
Pang Jian, who was in a heavy heart, could no longer listen to the two people's persuasion after learning the truth about Luo Hongyan's disappearance.
"That's fine."
Qi Qingsong expressed his understanding. He stood up and left the wooden chair and said: "I have been in Yuanmang recently. That silver token can contact me. If you have anything, just tell me. As long as I can help, I will never refuse."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Yuanqi again: "Little girl, please leave him alone."
Zhao Yuanqi took the lead to step out of the cave without saying a word.
Qi Qingsong then left.
After leaving the cave, he gently closed the stone door and said to the people outside: "He is in a bad mood. Don't bother him for the next two days."
