"So what if it is?"
Qiao Suinian did not deny it, but looked directly at Pang Hongxin.
"You killed my man, young friend, aren't you going to give me an explanation?" Pang Hongxin still had that smiling look on his face.
"Explanation? I'll give it to you right now."
Qiao Suinian and Pang Hongxin exchanged a glance, then Qiao Suinian stomped on the ground and charged towards Pang Hongxin with his Tang sword in hand.
Seeing the murderous aura emanating from Qiao Suinian, Pang Hongxin suddenly unfolded his iron fan and slapped it towards Qiao Suinian's Tang sword.
However, Pang Hongxin's attack landed squarely on empty air!
"A fake body? This is an illusion?!"
Pang Hongxin's expression changed for the first time. He suddenly swept his iron fan behind him, thinking that Qiao Suinian would launch a sneak attack from behind.
However, this attack also landed on thin air; Qiao Suinian had not come behind him at all.
"If it's not behind me, then where could it be?"
Pang Hongxin forced himself to calm down, his mind racing as he searched for a solution.
At the same time, his vigilance was at its highest, watching for any movement around him, fearing that Qiao Suinian might suddenly rush out from some direction and ambush him.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no unusual activity.
Pang Hongxin steadied himself, and the scene before him changed again, with Qiao Suinian reappearing in the same spot.
He held a Tang sword and stood still, not moving an inch.
From beginning to end, it was Pang Hongxin himself who was jumping around like a clown.
This is what makes the skill "Nightmare Mirror" so terrifying; it can create illusions in a person's eyes without them even realizing it.
Those who are infected are often completely unaware of how they contracted the virus.
"Young friend, your illusion magic is powerful!"
Pang Hongxin's gaze toward Qiao Suinian now held a hint of seriousness.
"Let's skip the pointless pleasantries and get straight to your purpose."
Qiao Suinian had actually considered killing Pang Hongxin directly, but he was surprised to find that although Pang Hongxin was in a hallucination, he was very vigilant and there was not a single opening on his body.
If he were to launch a forced attack, not only would he fail to kill the enemy in one blow, but he would also be detected by Pang Hongxin.
Pang Hongxin is indeed quite capable to have become the ruler of a human settlement.
"Since you've put it that way, I'll get straight to the point: I'd like to invite you to join my community!"
Pang Hongxin said with a smile.
"As long as you're willing to join my community, you can name your price: beauty, power, gold—whatever you want, I can give you!"
Pang Hongxin had already acknowledged Qiao Suinian's strength. If he could recruit such a person to his side, it would undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger.
"No thanks. I'm used to being a loner and I don't have the habit of being someone's lackey." Qiao Suinian refused without hesitation.
“That’s not quite right, young friend. I don’t want you to be my lackey. If you don’t mind, we can become sworn brothers!” Pang Hongxin said earnestly.
"Thank you for your kindness, but no need." Qiao Suinian turned to leave.
In his previous life, he had never heard of this Pang Hongxin, so there were only two possibilities.
First, a human settlement was destroyed before it could grow and prosper.
Second, Pang Hongxin was murdered, and the settlement changed hands.
Regardless of the possibility, it shows that Pang Hongxin did not survive in this apocalypse, and Qiao Suinian felt there was no need to befriend such a person.
Who would bother to befriend a dead person?
"Young friend! Wait a minute!"
Pang Hongxin called out to Qiao Suinian.
"Young friend, don't be so quick to refuse me. I'm planning to lead a group to Tianyun Temple tomorrow. Why don't you come with me? You can make your decision after we arrive at Tianyun Temple."
"Tianyun Temple?"
Qiao Suinian was stunned for a moment, and then long-buried memories were stirred up.
In the previous life, the name Tianyun Temple was a nightmare for many people!
Initially, there were rumors that a treasure had appeared in Tianyun Temple. Some said it was a B-grade equipment, some said it was a treasure that could awaken a second profession, and some said it was an incomparably powerful skill scroll.
There are many different opinions, and no one can say for sure what exactly happened at Tianyun Temple.
However, what is certain is that after the news spread, countless people flocked to Tianyun Temple, hoping to obtain that treasure.
In his previous life, Qiao Suinian also wanted to go to Tianyun Temple, but he couldn't leave because of the threat from the Torch Ghost Child, so he had no choice but to give up.
He later realized that it was the right thing for him not to go.
Because the area around Tianyun Temple is a complete ghost town!
That day, the abbot of Yun Temple was bewitched by something and degenerated into a heretical monk.
Ghosts and monsters roam the area around Tianyun Temple, and alien races are everywhere.
Nearly 90% of the people who went to Tianyun Temple died there.
Later, the old monk of Tianyun Temple was killed by some mysterious person, and the once demon-infested Tianyun Temple fell into silence and became an ordinary dilapidated temple.
What treasures were originally hidden within Tianyun Temple remains unknown to everyone.
It seems that in his previous life, Pang Hongxin also died at Tianyun Temple.
Thinking of this, Qiao Suinian's gaze toward Pang Hongxin became somewhat strange.
It's a strange feeling to see someone about to die.
Pang Hongxin didn't notice Qiao Suinian's gaze. Instead, he took out a strange and ferocious bronze mask from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Suinian.
"This is an E-grade piece of equipment. Consider it a token of my sincerity, young friend. If you are interested, we can head to Tianyun Temple together tomorrow!"
