Li Banfeng was still thinking about investigating the grudge between Pan Dehai and Peerless Back, but he didn't expect Pan Dehai to come on his own initiative.

Pan Dehai got up from under the tree, leaning on his cane, and said with a smile: "I came here today to discuss some things with Meng Yuchun. I didn't expect you to be here too. It seems that some rumors I heard before are true."

"What rumors did you hear?"

"Someone said you are Meng Yuchun's lover. Is that true?"

How should Li Banfeng answer? Is it or is it not?

Pan Dehai is a virtue cultivator; it is very easy for him to see through lies in front of him.

Li Banfeng replied: "Someone has indeed said so."

The truth.

Pan Dehai frowned and said: "But I heard that Meng Yuchun doesn't eat long ones; she eats flat ones. Could it be that her eating habits have changed with you?"

Li Banfeng smiled indifferently: "You peeked at someone's bed affairs again, you shameless old thing."

"I didn't look; I heard it."

"You even inquired about someone's bed affairs; you really are a shameless person."

Pan Dehai was not angry, shook his head and said: "Forget it. I'm looking for Meng Yuchun to join forces with her to deal with a villain. Since you are here too, please help out."

"Please? You really think highly of me," Li Banfeng looked at Pan Dehai; this old thing's temperament really hadn't changed at all, "You first state a reason; why should I help you?"

"I just said, the villain we are dealing with is a villain. Punishing evil and promoting good is a great virtue. You are a virtuous person; you can't just sit by and watch, right?"

Li Banfeng smiled: "You say he's a villain, so he's a villain? You first tell me what evil this person has done?"

"Have you heard of Peerless Back?"

"I've heard of him, and I've seen him."

Pan Dehai nodded and said: "I don't need to say much about this person's evil deeds. Since you've seen him, you're definitely going to help with this favor."

"Seen him, so I'm definitely going to help? What kind of rule is this?" Li Banfeng didn't buy this, "You really have to say a few more words about this matter. I know nothing about Peerless Back's evil deeds."

Pan Dehai sighed: "Last year's insect plague, remember?"

"I remember. I risked my life to help you resolve the insect plague. You shouldn't have forgotten this favor, right?"

Pan Dehai nodded and said: "That's why I say you are a virtuous person. You never ask for repayment for your kindness. Do you know the cause of this insect plague?"

"I know, this was done by the Insect Chief." Li Banfeng told the truth directly, saving Pan Dehai from beating around the bush here.

Pan Dehai shook his head: "You only know one thing, not the other. There is a secret matter here that you don't know the inside story of. If I tell you this secret matter, how will you repay me?"

Li Banfeng pointed into the distance and said: "I have a brother there. I'll borrow a bucket of gold from him for you as a repayment. What do you think?"

While the two were talking, Meng Yuchun floated in mid-air and shouted at Pan Dehai: "Who are you?"

Pan Dehai looked up and said: "Is this Miss Meng?"

Meng Yuchun said angrily: "Did you cast a spell to harm my sisters?"

Pan Dehai looked blank and said: "When did the old man do anything to harm people?"

"My sisters are no longer close to me; isn't that your doing?"

Pan Dehai smiled at Li Banfeng: "Look, I didn't peek, and I didn't inquire. He told me this himself."

There is one thing Li Banfeng has always wanted to understand: why did Pan Dehai make such a big commotion when coming to Meng Yuchun's territory? Isn't he worried that Peerless Back will know he came here?

Thinking carefully about Pan Dehai's style of doing things, Li Banfeng understood.

Pan Dehai just wanted Peerless Back to know that he had come to find Meng Yuchun.

He just wanted Peerless Back to know that he and Meng Yuchun had dealings!

Now Meng Yuchun doesn't want to help him, but she has to help him; otherwise, after Pan Dehai leaves, Peerless Back will definitely take action against Meng Yuchun.

This is similar to Pan Dehai's original intention of leading the mosquitoes to the Pants Belt Ridge.

Li Banfeng looked up at Meng Yuchun and said: "This is Mr. Pan, a person of great virtue from the Sea-Eating Ridge. Let's find a place to talk about some serious business."

Meng Yuchun looked Pan Dehai up and down and asked: "This is the Land-Head God of the Sea-Eating Ridge?"

Before Li Banfeng could answer, Pan Dehai bowed first: "I am indeed the old man."

Meng Yuchun was still angry, but she had heard of Pan Dehai's name and knew the strength of the Land-Head Gods of the Proper Land. She followed Li Banfeng's suggestion and took the two to a hidden cave.

Li Banfeng was worried that this cave was not safe either. The safest place should be Meng Yuchun's residence.

But Li Banfeng knew in his heart that Meng Yuchun and Pan Dehai were not familiar with each other, and she couldn't possibly reveal the location of her residence to Pan Dehai.

Before entering the cave, the Silk Earring whispered in his ear: "Master, there seems to be movement."

It is normal to have movement. As soon as Li Banfeng went to Peerless Back's territory, Peerless Back noticed it. Pan Dehai made such a big commotion, and Peerless Back's spies might have already followed.

How can this matter be covered up?

Li Banfeng looked back. There were a few black eagles circling outside the cave. This type of black eagle is very common in the New Land and basically has no spirituality. Apart from that, Li Banfeng didn't see any other living creatures.

After Li Banfeng entered the cave, a crow mixed in with the black eagles.

Pan Dehai sat on a stone and sighed: "I came from far away, and you didn't even prepare a cup of tea."

Meng Yuchun seemed to be affected, and she really felt a bit ashamed in her heart.

Li Banfeng saw a puddle in the cave with some accumulated water: "Mr. Pan, let's use water instead of tea. It's the thought that counts. Why don't you lie down there and drink some first?"

Pan Dehai smiled helplessly; some methods really didn't work on Li Banfeng.

He directly talked about the insect plague: "After the great disaster, I checked the cause of the disaster everywhere. The culprit of this disaster was indeed done by Huang Xiliang."

Li Banfeng asked: "Who is Huang Xiliang?"

"One of the leaders of insect cultivation, that is the Insect Chief you mentioned just now. But relying on him alone, he couldn't have created such fierce mosquitoes."

"How can you tell?"

Pan Dehai shook his head: "The habits of the absolute-extinction mosquitoes have already transcended the nature of mosquitoes. This is not only reflected in their ability to eat grain,

their speed of reproduction, their resistance to poison, and their perception of grain are all far superior to mosquitoes.

This kind of insect, except for looking like a mosquito, has nothing to do with insects in other aspects. The old man has also consulted quite a few ancient books. Among the records about insect plagues, this type of insect has never appeared.

In other words, this kind of insect is not born naturally; it was created by someone using methods."

Li Banfeng said: "Can't the Insect Chief create new species of insects?"

Pan Dehai shook his head: "Insect cultivators are good at driving insects. Huang Xiliang created the Iron Thread River. The iron thread insects can still be controlled by him from thousands of miles away, which shows his strong magic power.

Besides that, insect cultivators are also good at breeding, able to select the strongest insects from a kind of insect for fighting.

But breeding and creating species are two different things. The old man has never heard of any insect cultivator who can create a new species."

Meng Yuchun said: "It's not just insect cultivators, right? It seems no sect can create new species of living creatures."

Pan Dehai nodded: "Miss Meng can say these words, which shows she is a person of great virtue. This matter cannot be done by one sect, nor can it be completed by one person's power.

As far as the old man knows, several cultivators participated in this matter. Huang Xiliang is the culprit, and Peerless Back is also one of the accomplices.

Just because of the crimes they committed in the Sea-Eating Ridge, this dog Peerless Back deserves to die. Moreover, the cause and effect of this matter have not been clarified. They attacked the Sea-Eating Ridge for a reason. Taking this opportunity, perhaps a bigger conspiracy can be discovered.

Of course, the old man doing this is not just for the Sea-Eating Ridge. Having such despicable people as neighbors with Miss Meng, I think Miss Meng must also be restless. We should take action as soon as possible to eliminate future troubles."

Meng Yuchun looked at Li Banfeng. She agreed with Pan Dehai's statement. Eliminating Peerless Back is a good thing for both her and Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng said to Pan Dehai: "Mr. Pan, if you want to kill Peerless Back, you should take action secretly in the dark, catching him off guard. Why did you release the news in advance?

Now Peerless Back has been scared by you, and he is extremely cautious in his actions. It's not so easy to kill him."

Pan Dehai sighed: "The old man also thought about taking action secretly, but on second thought, it felt inappropriate.

Peerless Back can join forces with Huang Xiliang, which shows he still has some ability. If the old man takes action rashly, I'm afraid I won't be able to kill him, but will be plotted against by him instead.

The old man released the news in advance so that virtuous people like you would know Peerless Back's evil deeds, share the same hatred with the old man, and join forces to kill the enemy!"

It really is this move.

This old thing is used to dragging people into the water, and he says it so high-sounding.

Li Banfeng said: "If we don't agree to help, I guess you will also spread the news, saying that Meng Yuchun is going to take action against Peerless Back, replacing us to settle this grudge."

Pan Dehai shook his head: "The old man hasn't planned to do that yet."

Li Banfeng sneered and said: "Mr. Pan, you are polite. You haven't planned anything; you have already done so!"

Pan Dehai's way of doing things is disgusting, but he wasn't wrong about this matter.

Being neighbors with someone like Peerless Back really makes people restless.

Peerless Back snatched the Mountain-Pulling Master's territory. Li Banfeng doesn't know the reason for this, so it's hard to comment.

But just because Li Banfeng entered Peerless Back's territory, he was almost killed by Peerless Back. Li Banfeng can't forget this grudge alone.

"Mr. Pan, Peerless Back really deserves to die, but I don't know if you have any good ideas?"

Pan Dehai nodded and said: "There is a way, but I don't know if I should tell you."

Li Banfeng was startled: "Since you came to discuss revenge, what can't you say?"

Pan Dehai looked at Meng Yuchun and said: "I came to discuss revenge with Miss Meng."

Li Banfeng frowned.

What's the situation?

Looking down on me?

Meng Yuchun naturally wanted to give Li Banfeng face at this time. She sat beside Li Banfeng and held Li Banfeng's arm: "He is my lover. Whatever I can hear, he can hear. Whatever he agrees to, I can agree to."

Pan Dehai sighed: "I didn't say it out, also for his own good. Li Qi, you might not be able to help in this battle. I want to ask, what layer is your cultivation at now?"

So he wanted to ask about my cultivation, and he even used a provocative method before.

Can I tell you that?

Li Banfeng smiled: "My cultivation is definitely not as good as Mr. Pan's. If Mr. Pan is afraid that I will be a burden, I won't fight this battle."

Meng Yuchun held Li Banfeng's arm and said: "If he doesn't fight, I won't fight either."

Pan Dehai nodded and said: "Two virtuous people, insisting on punishing evil and eliminating evil, the old man admires it very much. Since this is the case, the old man will tell the two about the battle strategy.

The old man entered the sect a few years earlier than the two, and my cultivation is slightly higher than the two. I won't let the two do the risky things.

The two only need to go to Peerless Back's territory and pretend to fight with him. The old man will go to the Dragon's Den and Tiger's Lair, go to his residence, dig out his contract, and then join the two to kill this thief."

"Look at Mr. Pan's demeanor," Li Banfeng looked at Meng Yuchun and said, "Mr. Pan said, he won't let us take risks."

Pan Dehai smiled: "The two don't need to be polite. The old man does things with the word 'virtue' first, cherishing the younger generation, which is the old man's wish and also what a virtuous person does."

If the root was nearby, Li Banfeng would immediately take a spoonful of gold juice and pour it on Pan Dehai's face.

"Mr. Pan, you might as well speak more directly. You just want us to be bait for you, lure Peerless Back out, and then you take the opportunity to dig out the contract.

If we can hold on, you will succeed, and if we can't hold on, you can still retreat unscathed. Is that what you mean?"

Pan Dehai shook his head repeatedly: "Li Qi, you misunderstood me. I have no such intention at all!"

"No matter what you mean, we won't be bait," Li Banfeng looked at Pan Dehai, "This bait should be replaced by someone else."

The scene was a bit tense.

The Silk Earring whispered: "Master, there is movement outside, there really is movement."

A crow flew past the cave entrance. Pan Dehai sank his face: "Miss Meng, I came to join forces with you with sincerity, but your lover's words are not very pleasant to hear."

Meng Yuchun wanted to ease the atmosphere and was thinking about how to answer, when she suddenly felt a numbness and itching on her peach.

Li Banfeng was rubbing on her peach with his fingertips. Meng Yuchun was about to get angry, but suddenly felt that Li Banfeng seemed to be writing characters on her peach.

A total of two characters, one on each peach petal, Li Banfeng wrote them three times repeatedly.

Meng Yuchun trembled her fat peach and really recognized these two characters.

She sneered and said to Pan Dehai: "So what if the words are not pleasant to hear? Anyway, I listen to him."

Pan Dehai got up and said: "If that's the case, then we have nothing to talk about. This trip was in vain. Goodbye."

Meng Yuchun also stood up: "You come when you want, and you leave when you want. What kind of place do you think this is?"

Pan Dehai looked at Meng Yuchun and frowned slightly.

In the middle of the night, Peerless Back was checking the sentry posts on the territory. A crow flew close to Peerless Back and whispered: "Master, Pan Dehai went to Meng Yuchun's territory. He knows Meng Yuchun's lover, and the three of them are talking about things together."

Peerless Back replied calmly: "I already know about this."

The crow continued: "Pan Dehai is playing dirty, but that lover didn't agree. They didn't reach an agreement, and Meng Yuchun and Pan Dehai had a dispute and started fighting. Meng Yuchun was injured, and the injury is not light.

Pan Dehai was also injured and was trapped in the boundary line by Meng Yuchun. It's not easy for him to get out now."

Peerless Back said expressionlessly: "Explore again."

After the crow left, Peerless Back looked into the distance and snorted.

After thinking for a moment, a magpie suddenly flew over and whispered in Peerless Back's ear: "That lover has come again."

Peerless Back turned around and walked towards the northwest.

After walking more than ten li, he stopped and shouted to the front: "Why did you come?"

Li Banfeng walked out of the night and said to Peerless Back: "I'm here to give you a big gift."

"What big gift?" Peerless Back stuck out his tongue.

"Pan Dehai is trapped by Meng Yuchun. If you want to take action against him, now is the right time."
