"I, I have seen it..." Ye Haolong spoke with some stuttering, his thoughts plunged into a bit of chaos.
"You've seen it, then tell us!"
He looked at Li Banfeng, raised the sword in his hand, and said, "Who are you? Why do you persistently entangle?"
Dream Master reminded, "Master, he is the Cloud Dream Repairer, do not confront him in his dream."
Having reached this point, Li Banfeng couldn't back down.
His feet lacked strength, the Traveling Cultivation Technique was restricted, the Portable Residence couldn't enter the dream realm, the Home Cultivation Technique was limited, Li Banfeng touched the weapons and magical treasures on him, it seemed only Dream Master could be brought into the dream realm.
"I'll try to stall, you force him to speak the truth."
After instructing Dream Master, Li Banfeng looked angrily at Ye Haolong, "Cheater, you never witnessed that decisive battle, why lie?"
Ye Haolong's hand trembled slightly, "I saw it, it was seen with my own eyes!"
Dream Master whispered, "I did not hear him lying."
If not lying, is it true?
Li Banfeng said, "Tell me what happened in the battle, what techniques and methods were used, don't tell me a Peddler and people from the Heavens were performing sword tricks in front of you!"
Ye Haolong stammered, "Their techniques, I saw them all!"
"You saw them, then explain!"
"Why, why should I tell you..." Ye Haolong raised the sword in his hand, his whole body trembling.
Dream Master found it odd, why was this person so angry.
Seeing Ye Haolong so enraged, there's surely no avoiding this fierce confrontation, Dream Master quickly prepared a retreat path for Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng too knew that a fight was inevitable, with force in his feet, he was prepared to use Trample Over Thousands of Rivers to catch his opponent off guard.
If he injures his opponent, he will take the chance to continue questioning, if he can't, he'll come up with a new plan.
Ye Haolong stood in place, his body still trembling, seemingly ready for a head-on clash with Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng charged forward, about to unleash a technique, but stumbled on his feet, nearly falling.
Was this Ye Haolong's trick?
Changed the terrain condition, made me trip?
Li Banfeng glanced at the ground, but saw no alteration in the terrain.
The grassy land suddenly seemed loose, frightening Li Banfeng back two steps, Ye Haolong also seemed tense.
Poof!
A hand emerged from the ground.
What is this? Ye Haolong's clone?
Dream Master also didn't know the origin of the hand, merely saw the soil continuously cracking, the arm extending longer, fingers crawling over the ground, pulling the entire body out from the soil.
A man climbed out, his face obscured by hair and beard, making it hard to discern his age.
He wore a gray cloth robe, not too thick or thin, suitable for any season spring, summer, autumn, or winter.
His clothes were covered in dirt, yet with a slap, they were clean as new, nobody knew what material the cloth was made from.
He lifted his head, looked at Li Banfeng, then turned to Ye Haolong.
Ye Haolong pointed the sword at Li Banfeng and said, "Are you an accomplice to those from the Heavens? Are you here to silence me? Do you want to obliterate the roots of Puluo State?"
The man who climbed from the soil stared at Ye Haolong, silent for over a minute, then uttered one word: "Scram!"
Ye Haolong was infuriated by this, put down the sword, shivering with rage, then left.
He just left like that?
This is his dream realm, yet he dared not utter another word?
The man looked at Li Banfeng, after another minute, opened his mouth and asked, "Want to kill?"
What did he mean by that?
Was he implying Li Banfeng wanted to kill Ye Haolong?
In a life-and-death exchange, one can't hold back during a battle.
Wait, this cannot be answered directly.
Li Banfeng recalled the Old Teapot's reminder, not to kill while asleep in Pillow City, or it would incur the wrath of the Local Deity.
Is this man the Local Deity?
Li Banfeng replied, "I didn't intend to kill him."
This statement wasn't false, Li Banfeng indeed did not wish to kill Ye Haolong.
The man glanced at Li Banfeng's feet, "Killing skill!"
He meant Li Banfeng used a killing skill.
This nearly confirms it, this person is the Local Deity.
The Old Teapot once said, the Local Deity of Pillow City was a Lazy Cultivator, just look at his attitude of being too lazy to even utter a word, almost identical to Judge's Pen.
Li Banfeng patiently explained, "This is Ye Haolong's dream realm, I am restricted in every way, Ye Haolong holds all the advantages, one move of Trample Over Thousands of Rivers couldn't possibly kill Ye Haolong."
The man shook his head slightly, "Not necessarily."
Li Banfeng smiled helplessly, "I truly didn't intend to kill him, Cloud Dream Repairer isn't that easy to kill, I just wanted to ask him some things."
"Ask!" The man's intention was that questions could be asked, and he would answer.
Li Banfeng said, "I want to ask whether Ye Haolong ever saw the Peddler."
"Yes!" The man thought about how to describe it, but was too lazy to think, even lazier to speak, until he thought of a good idea.
The space ahead transformed, becoming a small alley, a ten-year-old boy stood at the alley entrance, wearing a robe and a small melon cap, arriving before the Peddler, raising his head, earnestly saying, "I want Medicinal Powder for Martial Cultivator."
"Martial Cultivator?" The Peddler laughed, "Your physique isn't suitable for being a Martial Cultivator."
The boy then said, "Then I'll choose Literature Cultivator."
"Do you enjoy reading?"
The boy shook his head honestly, "Then what do you say I should choose?"
The Peddler squatted down to view the boy, "Since you live in Pillow City, choose Dream Cultivator, sleep three seasons a year, all three good for cultivating."
The boy agreed, the Peddler handed him a packet of medicinal powder, carefully helping him apply it to his belly.
