That man landed on his feet as his sword fell to the ground at the same time.

“Perfected Foundation Establishment.”

The moment he saw the other party, Jiang Lan knew his cultivation realm.

Relatively speaking, it was similar to him.

Jiang Lan hadn’t used any power that surpassed Major Perfection just now.

Therefore, the other party wouldn’t think that he was hiding his cultivation.

However, he didn’t know if the other party was a disciple of Kunlun Mountain.

It wasn’t unusual for there to be other people under Kunlun Mountain.

As long as they didn’t go near Kunlun Mountain, no one would care.

However, if they were a little closer, they would know that Kunlun was not called the Ancestor of All Mountains for nothing.

“Junior Brother, they are my preys,” That man immediately spoke the moment he landed. Then, he introduced himself.

“I am Liao Yan of the Fifth Summit. Who is Junior Brother?”

Jiang Lan didn’t answer this question. Instead, he looked at the Demon Suppressing Pearl and asked,

“This is yours?”

Did he think he would just believe the other party when he said he was from the Fifth Summit?

It wasn’t like they were on Kunlun Mountain or meeting in a normal setting.

Therefore, he did not intend to introduce himself.

“Yes.” As he spoke, Liao Yan reached out his hand.

The Demon Suppression Pearl returned to his hand.

“I hope this junior brother will not steal my credit.”

Jiang Lan looked at this person’s hand and realized that there seemed to be a lot of hair on the back of his hand.

When Jiang Lan took a closer look, the other party immediately withdrew his hand.

“Junior Brother, do you have any other questions?”

“No.” Jiang Lan turned around and left.

Since they were someone else’s preys, he did not intend to interfere.

Furthermore, the other party looked like he was only at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm. However, there was a strange aura coming from this person.

It was not suitable to cause a dispute.

But just as Jiang Lan was about to leave, the rabbit grabbed the corner of his clothes.

“Ignorant fool.” Liao Yan directly sent the rabbit flying with a palm strike.

These words were said to the rabbit, but it felt like they were directed at Jiang Lan to.

However, Jiang Lan didn’t care about this. He only turned back to look at the rabbit and realized that there was a pleading look in its eyes.

It was as if it was begging him to stay, seeking his help and compassion.

Without any unnecessary movements or words, Jiang Lan turned around and left.

Liao Yan looked at Jiang Lan who left, and then at the fur on the back of his hand that was retreating.

Then, his eyes flashed with killing intent.

Jiang Lan, who seemed to have already left into the distance, could still feel the killing intent and knew it was targeted at him.

“I hope you two can hold out until dark.”

Jiang Lan muttered to himself.

Now, he planned to go to the inn to buy wine.

He would sign in at the same time as well.

However, it was really not peaceful at the foot of the mountain.

Thinking about it, even Kunlun Mountain wasn’t orderly, let alone the foot of the mountain.

It was simply unimaginable in the Grand Desolate World.

Before long, Jiang Lan arrived at the old inn.

There were still no customers when he entered.

What surprised Jiang Lan was that the elder was there.

Jiang Lan came to the counter and said softly:

“Senior, one bottle. No, two bottles of good wine.”

He had barely spent any money over the past few decades. As a personal disciple, he could receive some as well.

So he could afford it.

The elder looked at Jiang Lan and immediately recognized this person. He smiled and said,

“The last time we met was thirty years ago. I heard from the little fella that you were the one who reminded him that the wine bottle was about to drop?”

Jiang Lan thought for a moment, then nodded.

“I was being too nosy.”

He didn’t know how the other party felt about this, but he still remembered it after thirty years. It seemed like he cared about it quite a lot.

It was only right for him to apologize.

Although he didn’t know what he did wrong, he thought about it carefully and remembered that the bottle was specially arranged.

Of course, it shouldn’t be a big deal. Otherwise, he would have been found long ago.

After all, even he, who had advanced to the Essence Soul realm, was unable to see through this senior.

He was not much worse than his Master.

“Grandpa, I caught the Ice Cicada you wanted.” At that moment, a child ran in.

It was a youngster.

Jiang Lan recognized him at a glance. He was the youth who looked after the store thirty years ago.

It was also the youngster he informed when the bottle was about to drop.

But Jiang Lan was confused.

After thirty years, why did the other party still look the same as before?

It was as if time had not left any traces on his body.

“Big brother, long time no see.” That youth spoke.

At this moment, he handed a snow-white Ice Cicada to the old man.

Jiang Lan glanced at the ice cicada and realized that it really was one.

Ice Cicadas were bone-chilling.

Yet this youth was grabbing it bare-handed?

“Find this strange?” The elder took the Ice Cicada from the youth’s hand and saw Jiang Lan’s puzzled expression.

“A little.” Jiang Lan nodded.

“Go to the back and wash your hands.” The old man sent the young man away and placed the Ice Cicada in a wine gourd.

“Are you wondering why he hasn’t changed, or are you wondering why he can grab the Ice Cicada with his bare hands?”

“Both. As far as I know, even ordinary Golden Core cultivators can’t catch Ice Cicadas with their bare hands. Only extremely few people who have tempered their bodies or have special physiques can do so.”

Jiang Lan still had a basic understanding of the Ice Cicada.

“Have you heard of Qiong Qi?” The old man closed the wine gourd and continued,

“Good wine needs to wait.”

“Vicious beast Qiong Qi?” Jiang Lan didn’t mind waiting.

He was curious about Qiong Qi.

According to the elder, that child must have a certain relation to Qiong Qi.
