Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1314 616: Bloodshed Disaster (Part 2)

Cui Tiq shook his head and said, "My beliefs won't change, and what does this child have to do with it? He's just a stranger I met at De Song Cliff."

Upon hearing the word "stranger," the child got a bit angry and ran off to play with Light Bulb.

Cui Tiq was somewhat worried but didn't want to show it.

Li Banfeng took the opportunity to ask, "I heard you've discovered a new technique that can make those who start wars fall ill. Can you tell me the principle of this technique?"

"This technique is still immature. To be precise, it can't make those who start wars fall ill, but rather those who break contracts. It sounds somewhat like the functions of Contract Paper, and in principle, it's somewhat similar to the Contract Book,

We're accustomed to the concept of illness entering through the mouth. We always think that the origin of disease, even if it doesn't enter through the mouth, must be through touch or respiratory infection,

We never considered other modes of infection, such as visual infection, auditory infection, and even olfactory and gustatory infections might cause diseases. However, the pathogen of such diseases temporarily lacks a reasonable explanation,

If fungi had enough vision, I really wish I could draw a picture and cure your friend just like that, but before completely curing your friend, let's discuss something serious,

Earlier I had proposed three conditions, and one condition hasn't been fulfilled yet. De Song Cliff needs a batch of food supplies."

Li Banfeng naturally wouldn't renege on his promise: "The food has already been dispatched. Regardless of whether my friends are cured, I will stay here to help you distribute the food,

But I want to give you a warning, providing so much aid to Virtue Cultivation may not be a good thing. During difficult times, they would readily eat meat, but after those times pass, they might curse you at any moment. They possess many flexible and changeable characteristics, which might bring you trouble."

Cui Tiq sighed: "It's not you or I who create peace; it's them. They are the masters of De Song Cliff. I know the qualities of Virtue Cultivation differ greatly from their self-proclamation, but we have all gone hungry, and you know that hungry people cannot create true peace."

Li Banfeng nodded: "We had an agreement beforehand, and I will certainly deliver the food. I'm just reminding you that it's best to eliminate problems by addressing their root, especially people like Song Demei; do you really expect her to change..."

Halfway through his words, Li Banfeng suddenly turned around and looked toward the foot of the mountain.

Someone was trying to ascend the mountain, and their strength was not weak.

Cui Tiq's perception was not as sharp as Li Banfeng's, but he trusted Li Banfeng's judgment.

Li Banfeng had just killed Song Demei's third son, and she might be coming up the mountain in her anger to take revenge.

Cui Tiq never underestimated opponents, let alone an adversary like Song Demei, who should not be taken lightly as her strength was likely already at Cloud Top Third Layer.

Cui Tiq instructed the child and three patients to immediately return to the cave, preparing to summon part of the Knife Labor Ghosts to confront the enemy.

As the enemy reached halfway up the mountain, Li Banfeng felt a little more at ease.

There was only one enemy, and he recognized this enemy.

It was a very handsome woman, wearing a light-blue long robe, a small round cap on her head, round black sunglasses on her face, carrying a bucket of counting rods in her hand, with a large abacus on her back.

Arithmetic Cultivator Ah Xia, she was the House Spirit of Xiao Feng, who used to be the lover of Oil Peach.

Last time on Chu Er's New Land, Li Banfeng had seen Ah Xia: "I heard you and Hundred-Eyes Fish both married Pan Dehai, why aren't you living peacefully at home and instead come looking for me here?"

Ah Xia repeatedly shook her head: "Don't talk nonsense like that. We truly wanted to marry Old Pan, but he didn't take us in. To this day, we're just living under someone else's roof and can't even enter his bedroom,

I'm here to see Seventh Master today to discuss an issue. There's a brother under your command named Qin Tianjiu, who had a conflict with Old Pan the day before and has fallen into Old Pan's hands now. Old Pan is asking, will the Seventh Master intervene?"

Li Banfeng was shocked for a long time and asked, "Why has Qin Tianjiu ended up in Pan Dehai's hands?"

"We don't know the reason behind this. Old Pan said that if the Seventh Master doesn't intervene, he will flay Qin Tianjiu alive. If the Seventh Master wants to intervene, then go to Hai Chi Ridge to get him."

How could such a thing happen?

Li Banfeng was at ease letting Little Fatty go to Pants Belt Pit because he had already contacted Feng Daiku beforehand, and Feng Daiku had instructed his men to quickly make arrangements for Qin Xiaopang once he reached Pants Belt Pit.

But why did Little Fatty run off to Hai Chi Ridge?

Is Pan Dehai deceiving me?

Is that old fox still thinking about De Song Cliff?

Li Banfeng said: "Qin Tianjiu is indeed my friend, but I have things to handle right now, and I can't go to Hai Chi Ridge at the moment. Go back and tell Pan Dehai that I will handle this matter later. If he truly hurts my friend, don't blame me for falling out with him."

Gao Shuxia said: "Old Pan already anticipated this. He said if you can't go, he'll come to De Song Cliff to find you."

"Tell me, how does he know I'm at De Song Cliff?"

Ah Xia laughed: "The Seventh Master made such a big commotion at De Song Cliff; how could Old Pan not know?"

Pan Dehai still has people at De Song Cliff, and he's probably still aiming to become the Local Deity there.

Li Banfeng wasn't intimidated: "Alright, let him come. I'll be here waiting for him."

"Ahem~" Cui Tiq coughed twice behind him.

Li Banfeng wasn't afraid of Pan Dehai coming, but Cui Tiq was. If Pan Dehai indeed came, a fight with Song Demei would inevitably ensue. If the two of them started fighting, all of Cui Tiq's previous efforts would be in vain.
