Purgatory

Chapter 168 The Whereabouts of Luo Hongyan
In the brightly pearly cave, Qi Qingsong was sleepy with drunken eyes.

He sat lazily on the wooden chair, dangling his legs, and confided his heart while drinking.

On the futon next to him, Pang Jian leaned against the hard rock wall, didn't speak, just drank in silence.

The drunk Qi Qingsong seemed to want to confide all his troubled thoughts over the years.

He began to talk about how glorious he was before, and how much Jianlou valued him when he was an inner disciple.

He also said that after he became an outer disciple from an inner disciple, some disgusting behaviors of his former inner disciple brothers.

Pang Jian, who has never spoken much, played the role of a listener very well.

He patiently listened to Qi Qingsong's story about his past.

It is also known that Qi Qingsong had a long period of depression before entering the trial of Bagua City.

In those years, he didn't even have a single person to confide in. It can be said that he had tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings.

Pang Jian, who didn't know how to comfort him, just drank silently and listened to him talking to himself.

Gradually, Qi Qingsong actually started to snore softly in the cave, and fell asleep without warning.

"A prodigy who once fell to the bottom of the valley, and now shines again."

Pang Jian looked at him and commented softly.

After a long time.

"Boom boom boom!"

The hasty knock on the door not only awakened Pang Jian who was in samadhi, but also awakened Qi Qingsong who had fallen asleep suddenly.

"Well, I actually fell asleep."

Qi Qingsong looked a little embarrassed, rubbed the corners of his eyes casually 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'm Zhao Yuanqi!"

A cold and proud girl's soft shout came from outside the door.

After falling asleep, Qi Qingsong took a deep breath and asked in surprise, "Zhao Yuanqi from Hongshan?"

"call!"

Suddenly, from the capillaries all over his body, a rich aroma of wine wafted out.

In this way, the liquor that affected his sanity was excreted from his body in a very short time.

When Pang Jian got up and opened the stone door, Zhao Yuanqi got closer and smelled the pungent smell of wine.

"you two……"

The silver-haired girl with the big gourd on her back 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 looking inward with her head poking her head, was also choked by the strong smell of alcohol.

"I didn't drink much, it's just that I don't drink very well, so I want to drink a few more."

Qi Qingsong said calmly.

With a flick of his sleeves, a fierce sword intent swept all the smell of wine out of the cave with a strong wind.

When the smell of wine in the cave was almost gone, the silver-haired girl snorted softly before entering the cave.

She immediately closed the stone door.

Once the stone gate is closed, ordinary people can't hear the conversation inside unless they are in a state of concentration like Lei Kun.

——This is also the wonder of the First Peak Cave Mansion.

"This token..."

Her eyes were strange, she looked at the token pressed by the amethyst, and asked, "In order to prevent the prying eyes of those who are interested?"

Qi Qingsong nodded with a smile.

"you two……"

Zhao Yuanqi, who had something to say, frowned and looked at Qi Qingsong, looking a little hesitant.

Pang Jian took the initiative: "Friend."

After waking up, Qi Qingsong grinned brilliantly: "Yes, Pang Jian and I are good friends, the kind who talk about everything!"

He deliberately added the word "good".

"Oh, since that's the case..."

Zhao Yuanqi, who heard that the two had a feud, seemed a little dubious, but she didn't shy away from anything, and said seriously: "Pang Jian, I've asked someone about it. The one you and Senior Sister Jiang mentioned should be given by Mr. Cao. Captured alive."

"Old Freak Cao?"

Pang Jian suddenly stood up, and said with a sullen face: "We have no grudges with Old Monster Cao!"

After thinking about it carefully, he was sure that they had no intersection with Old Monster Cao, and he really didn't understand why the controller of Yuanmang Broken Land would capture Luo Hongyan alive.

"Ha ha."

Qi Qingsong narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It turns out that you went to help Pang Jian find out the news."

"What's your opinion?"

Zhao Yuanqi stood in the center of the cave, looking at him without fear, without any anxiety because he was a disciple of the inner sect of Jianlou.

"It's just a coincidence."

Qi Qingsong twitched the corner of his mouth.

He knocked on the wooden table with his fingers, gradually suppressed the smile on his lips, and said solemnly: "Pang Jian, I came here specially to tell you about this. My news is more accurate and detailed than hers. Because my news comes from Old Freak Cao himself!"

Pang Jian put on a posture of listening attentively.

Zhao Yuanqi was slightly surprised, nodded, and admitted: "My information is rather vague. It's just that someone saw Mr. Cao and a beautiful woman wearing a veil clashing at a huge meteorite outside Yuanmang."

"As for why the two started fighting, and what enmity they have, I really don't know."

Zhao Yuanqi told the truth.

Pang Jian took a breath, and said coldly, "We all followed his rules when we participated in his gatherings. Why did he suddenly attack the killer?"

"Is such that……"

Qi Qingsong told the truth that he planned to tell.

The gathering held by Old Monster Cao did not require him to host it in person a few days ago, so he went out recently.

On his way back, when a meteorite scattered outside Yuan Mang, a strange treasure on his body suddenly appeared as a warning.

The old monster Cao was surprised, so he touched it with a strange treasure to investigate, and saw that inside a meteorite, an array capable of locking souls was engraved, and many spirits gathered inside.

Lingyun Sanren from Sanxian Island is also among them.

Old Monster Cao suddenly became suspicious, so he used the treasures on his body to kill those spirits, forcing his master to show himself.

Not long after, he saw a beautiful woman wearing a veil flying out of his Yuan Mang angrily.

As soon as the two sides met, a conflict broke out.

As a result, the woman was captured alive by Old Monster Cao.

During the battle, the woman used the secret method of the blood moon, and she also knew how to condense the spirit spirit, which made Old Monster Cao even more surprised. After capturing him, he immediately contacted the elders of the Yinling Temple.

The elder of the Yinling Temple immediately confirmed that the woman he had captured alive was a remnant of the Blood Spirit Sect who had been suppressed by them for many years.

At the same time, Jiu Yuan also heard the news.

Blood Moon, Yinling Temple, and at the same time begged Old Monster Cao for that woman.

Mr. Cao didn't want to offend either side. After thinking for a while, he sold the captured woman as a rare treasure on the last day. He also planned to bid 100 million spirit stones, so that Blood Moon and Yinling Temple could draw lots. way to obtain.

"Old Freak Cao told me about this matter, and also said that the woman's body was recast from Zhanjing 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 mansion that day, and I immediately felt that you should be in Yuanmang. Coincidentally, you actually took out the horn of a seventh-level ice crystal beast for sale. Jiang Li I also called out your name, so I came here on purpose."

Zhao Yuanqi nodded: "It is indeed more detailed than my information."

With a sullen face, Pang Jian forced himself to calm down, and then sat down on the futon again.

He finally understood why Luo Hongyan suddenly disappeared without a word.

There is no Luo Hongyan specially used to hold the artifacts of Lingsha, so Lingsha is placed on a meteorite outside Yuanmang, just in case it is needed.

Because the lair was suddenly attacked by Old Monster Cao, she was worried that all Lingshas would die, so she hurried over to check it out.

As a result, he was suppressed by the high-level old monster Cao.

Since this matter happened outside Yuanmang Broken Land and Mr. 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 became serious.

"Pang Jian, the woman surnamed Luo is said to be a remnant of the Blood Spirit Sect. The Blood Spirit Sect didn't have a good reputation in the past. Old Monster Cao is very polite to me, but my status is still not enough to let me go. He will release 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 opinion with a wry smile.

Afterwards, he took out a blue robe that Sword Tower disciples often wear, with a Sword Tower logo on it.

He put this robe on the wooden table, and pressed it with a silver token with the sword building logo.

"This token can make you an outer disciple of Jianlou. You and I may not be able to save her, but I can take you out of Yuanmang safely. As long as you wear this robe and hang it around your waist 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, and said: "It seems that I don't need to recommend you to Hongshan."

She also thought about it on the way here.

She intends to introduce Pang Jian into Hongshan with her identity in Hongshan, so that Pang Jian can avoid this disaster.

Zhou Qingchen and Han Duping had already made it clear to her that Pang Jian was just a hunter in the Cenji Mountains of 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 didn't care about Luo Hongyan, 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 too sensitive."

Qi Qingsong persuaded.

"Well, the Blood Spirit Sect is notorious, and people are happy when it is destroyed. You should not have any involvement with this Sect."

Zhao Yuanqi also nodded slightly.

"You two go out first, let me be alone, I need to think about it myself."

Pang Jian with a heavy heart, after learning the truth about Luo Hongyan's disappearance, could no longer listen to the persuasion of the two of them.

"Alright."

Qi Qingsong expressed his understanding, he got up and left the wooden chair, and said, "I've been in Yuanmang recently, that silver token can contact me, and you can tell me if you have anything to do. As long as I can help, I will never refuse."

After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Yuanqi again: "Little girl, let him be quiet."

Zhao Yuanqi stepped out of the cave first 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 these two days."
