The ten-day period arrived in the blink of an eye.
Qi Yun arrived at Black Death Peak as promised.
The entire mountain peak was still shrouded in a grim, freezing atmosphere, the very air seeming to carry the tang of rust.
Li Chong was already waiting at the mountain gate. Seeing Qi Yun, he forced a somewhat stiff smile and came forward to greet him.
"Junior Brother Qi, a man of your word, I see. Right on time," Li Chong cupped his hands, his tone formally polite.
"I wouldn't dare miss an appointment we've agreed upon. That would be a sign of bad faith, wouldn't it?" Qi Yun replied calmly, returning the gesture.
Hearing this, Li Chong's face twitched unnaturally.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Li Chong led Qi Yun into Black Death Peak, arriving at a relatively secluded Side Hall.
He took out a Jade Box carved with complex Sealing Runes and solemnly handed it to Qi Yun.
