Chapter 189: Arranging a backup plan, an old friend

"Hahahaha..."

The second-generation Pang Hai burst into wild laughter, his pupils radiating a palpable, subdued power.

"The location for the peace talks has been chosen to be Loulan..."

"Are they crazy, or do they think we're stupid?"

[The second-generation Xu Hui picked up the leisurely black cat and held it in his arms to stabilize his state.]

[Calm Analysis: "The ancient city of Loulan is located in the heart of the Western Regions, and according to my elder brother's intelligence, it is within the core area of ​​Yin Qian's power."]

"If we choose this location for peace talks, we will be put in a passive position."

Wei Qi shared the same view.

[His mind is filled with killing, but that doesn't mean he's lost his brain and reason.]

On the contrary, the endless carnage made him increasingly calm and composed, allowing him to analyze the situation and spot loopholes.

[Only Xu Kun, who was being held by the second-generation Xu Hui, slowly wagged his tail.]

[This directly points out the key element.]

"Meow~ Since they're not crazy, and we're not fools, why did they propose setting the peace talks in the ancient city of Loulan? Meow~"

"Why do you think we'd agree? Meow~"

Upon hearing this, Pang Hai, Xu Hui, Wei Qi, and the others all turned their gazes towards you.

[As the person who orchestrated and controlled the current situation in the Western Regions.]

To some extent, the entire battle can be summarized as a game of strategy between you and the Western Regions.

[This involves the massacre of your entire family and your karmic entanglements with the Western Regions.]

【so.】

If the people in the Western Regions would believe they agreed, there's only one reason.

That means you'll nod.

You hold the teacup, your fingertips gently twirling it.

[Elegant posture, cold gaze.]

"It seems they already know something."

You're not surprised by this.

[I am trapped, and the magical artifact used to kill my master has been lost.]

Wei Qi, without any apparent reason, raised an army in Yongzhou and marched into the Western Regions.

Pang Hai and Xu Hui were originally supposed to march south, raise an army, and ignite the flames of war.

They also participated in this war.

Over the years, the people of the Western Regions must have been investigating the reasons behind this all along.

It's not surprising that they could find traces and information about you.

Even if they find it hard to believe, you are just an ordinary mortal with no martial arts skills and mediocre talent.

How could anyone possibly survive the divine swordplay from beyond the heavens?

[A transformation also occurred, orchestrating this grand scheme.]

But when all the impossibilities were ruled out, they had no choice but to accept this fact.

The peace talks were to be held in the ancient city of Loulan.

[Perhaps this was a test they were giving based on this conjecture.]

Your agreement confirms their intentions.

【so……】

You take a sip of tea, a slight smile playing on your lips, and say, "Perhaps this is a good thing."

"Good news?"

Those present were puzzled.

[Deeply venturing into enemy territory to negotiate peace, engaging in strategic maneuvering on enemy soil, and facing unknown risks.]

How could this possibly be a good thing?

You discern the signals the Western Regions are sending you.

They are likely hoping for a meeting to settle all grudges.

However... the massacre of his entire family, a blood feud of life and death.

[Adding to the endless dangers you faced after entering the Western Regions, as you experienced in the last simulation.]

[He was destined to die.]

Why would someone think they could bury the hatchet with a laugh?

You haven't figured things out yet, and you don't want to accept their "kindness."

I just want to find out the truth, and then I'll figure out what to do next.

As for exploring the ancient city of Loulan...

Back then, I dared to go alone; would I still be afraid now?

The second-generation leader, Xu Hui, asked, "Big brother, are you sure you want to go?"

"Go, why not go? Are you afraid of them?"

【"Oh……"】

Wei Qi sneered upon hearing this, his eyes filled with the indifference of death, and said disdainfully, "Afraid? Only they fear me and tremble in fear, unleashing a bloodbath."

"Hahaha..."

The second-generation Pang Hai laughed wildly, his eyes radiating a palpable, menacing power, like invisible, tearing lightning.

"I refuse to believe that with us brothers joining forces, there's nowhere in the world we can't go!"

[A group of people strategized and planned, fearless.]

You smiled and nodded.

[Then, they secretly made contingency plans.]

Being fearless is one thing, being cautious is another.

[You sense several items placed within the spatial device.]

If we truly cannot reach an agreement, we will fight to the death.

"You'll see just how many of the resources left by the late emperor can force you to use."

After deciding to travel to the ancient city of Loulan for peace negotiations, the remaining details—such as the time frame, protocol, and etiquette—were all minor.

[Simply make the arrangements and have someone prepare.]

[You few temporarily set aside your official duties and enjoy a relaxed and pleasant conversation and drinks.]

A long-awaited reunion.

This caused Wei Qi's murderous intent to subside somewhat, and his gaze softened slightly.

[In the vast desert at night, the bright moon hangs high, casting a silvery veil of light.]

A campfire crackled, and sparks flew from the dry firewood.

You, Wei Qi, Pang Hai, Xu Hui, and Xu Kun are drinking around the campfire.

Suddenly, the consciousnesses of the first generation, Pang Hai and Xu Hui, materialized.

He picked up the wine jug and took a large gulp.

Wei Qi looked at the two men with surprise and suspicion; their appearances and demeanors were similar to those of the second-generation leaders, Pang Hai and Xu Hui.

However, the weathered experience in their eyes and the difference in their Daoist aura clearly distinguish the two.

"Who are these two...?"

Wei Qi asked, looking surprised.

The first generation leader, Pang Hai, and the first generation leader, Xu Hui, exchanged glances, their eyes meeting in a complex light.

[The first generation leader, Xu Hui, sighed softly: "An old friend."]

【"Old friend?"】

Wei Qi looked at the second-generation Pang Hai and Xu Hui, then at the first-generation Pang Hai and Xu Hui.

[My doubts deepened.]

[Looking puzzled: "Although I am close friends with Brother Pang and Brother Xu, I have never met either of you before. How can you say we are old acquaintances?"]

Look at the scene before you.

[Immediately understand the reason for the appearance of the first generation leaders, Pang Hai and Xu Hui.]

[In the last simulation, you three brothers joined Wei Qi's army to quell the rebellion.]

Fighting side by side, bound by life and death.

After quelling the rebellion in Yongzhou, preparations were made to march into the Western Regions, and a request was made to the central government for approval.

[In the end, all that came was a recall order.]

You parted ways by a campfire amidst the vast desert sands, drinking heartily.

[And when we meet again...]

They have already clashed with enemies.

[Even in your later years, you met with Wei Qi, plotting in the central court and wielding the swords against powerful clans.]

[And the first generation leaders, Pang Hai and Xu Hui.]

[This is a farewell forever.]

Even if Wei Qi led his army south at that time, Pang Hai and Chen Chao's allied forces would have opposed him.

There were only strategic maneuvers and exchanges of blows; they did not actually meet and fight.

This scene today evoked memories of the first leaders, Pang Hai and Xu Hui.

So you can understand why I showed up.

[Because this simulation was conducted before the testing of the gold-level attribute "Sending Off the Final Journey".]

You've experienced this yourself.

If I were to meet an old friend again, they would not be the same person as before.

[My emotions have nowhere to go.]

This is truly remarkable.
