Chapter 1334: Not Because You’re So Outstanding
"Pfft, pfft...!"
The pressure and gravity were becoming more terrifying, and the subordinates of Black Snake were spitting blood from the strain.
Black Snake was also bent over, struggling against the dreadful pressure and gravity, his bones creaking as if he was about to be crushed.
In contrast, Xiao Jian and the others, not far from Black Snake, were unaffected. This clearly showed that Qin Yi's cultivation control had reached an indescribably exquisite level.
Qin Yi squinted slightly, pressed his palm again and shook violently.
The subordinates of Black Snake couldn't stop hacking up blood. Even Black Snake couldn't help but spew a mouthful of fresh blood.
Yun Mengyao saw this and said, "Fools, if I were you, I'd quickly beg for mercy now—are you waiting to be crushed to bits?"
Black Snake finally came to his senses, his face full of horror, eyes filled with pleading, "Spare us, spare our lives..."
Yun Mengyao looked up at Qin Yi with a slightly cunning expression, "Qin Yi, they've already admitted they were wrong, let's spare them. The key is not to dirty this place, everyone's meal is still unfinished, and guts all over the floor would spoil the appetite."
Jing Wuyan and the others were speechless at the thought of guts, their stomachs churning.
Qin Yi snorted coldly, lifting his hand to remove the pressure and gravity.
"Pfft, pfft...!"
As Qin Yi suddenly withdrew the pressure and gravity, with the change in force, Black Snake and the others again spewed a big mouthful of fresh blood.
Qin Yi descended from mid-air and looked indifferently at Black Snake.
The faces of Black Snake and the others were as pale as paper, their expressions like they were at a funeral, full of fear.
Qin Yi's terrifying nature was beyond their imagination.
Yun Mengyao timely spoke, "To be honest, Qin Yi is willing to work with you because you were the first to find us. Not because you're exceptional. We have plenty of options for collaboration, don't take yourself too seriously. Everyone thought Qin Yi would fail in challenging the Demon Tower, but I'm not afraid to tell you that Qin Yi will definitely win."
Yun Mengyao paused, continuing, "You don't even know to seize the opportunity to get rich, truly foolish. Qin Yi was able to take down a Sword Sect branch and survive their pursuit till now, do you think it's just luck? Not sure what your brains are for."
Black Snake and the others looked terrified, their bodies trembling.
Qin Yi said indifferently, "If I wanted to kill you, it would be easier than squashing some ants. Since you don't want to collaborate, I won't make it difficult for you. Many in Sin City want to work with me. You can leave now."
Black Snake's gaze flickered but did not leave.
Qin Yi frowned, "What, do you want me to see you off?"
"No, Lord Qin, you've misunderstood." Black Snake's expression turned respectful as he bowed deeply to Qin Yi, "Lord Qin, I apologize for my previous arrogance. We failed to recognize a treasure when we saw one, we were blind. You are magnanimous, please don't hold it against us, these frogs in a well."
Qin Yi snorted coldly.
Yun Mengyao mocked, "If he really held a grudge, you wouldn't be alive now. Don't think that Qin Yi has a good temper—he's killed more people than you've ever seen. Sparing you is because he doesn't want to ruin everyone's appetite. Before he changes his mind, I advise you to leave quickly. Otherwise, you won't be able to go even if you want to."
Black Snake and the others' faces shifted slightly. However, Black Snake still stiffened his resolve, looking at Qin Yi respectfully, "Lord Qin, I sincerely apologize for my previous arrogance and ignorance. I was wrong before, please forgive me."
Qin Yi asked plainly, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Black Snake replied with a humble face, "Lord Qin, I think we can cooperate."
Qin Yi was slightly taken aback, then sneered, "But I don't want to cooperate with you now. If I want to find partners, there are many choices. The Blood Killing Tower, the Soul Chasing Mercenary Group, I think they would all be very eager to cooperate with me."
Black Snake's face changed dramatically. Although temporarily the Poison Snake Organization and the Blood Killing Tower, Soul Chasing Mercenary Group were allied, fundamentally, it was driven by interests. The three parties were inherently deadly enemies. If the Poison Snake Organization's leader knew he lost a lot of money due to his stupidity, it might cost him his head.
The Poison Snake Mercenary Group was different from other organizations; as a member, Black Snake knew his life was definitely not as important as this money. It was an astronomical sum, enough to elevate the Poison Snake Organization's power to a new level.
"Lord Qin, I was really wrong, I was blind before, just think of me as a mad dog that barked at you carelessly. You are not ordinary, obviously broad-minded, please don't hold it against me."
Black Snake had lived for over a hundred years, with cultivation reaching the early stage of the Great Ascension. Usually, it was others who bowed to him. Today, bowing to Qin Yi, a young man in his twenties, felt awkward. But the situation was more pressing than people, and he had no choice but to bow his head.
Qin Yi snorted coldly, making no comment.
Yun Mengyao saw this, smiled, and said, "Qin Yi, seeing how sincerely humble he is, just agree to him. At worst, during the profit distribution, we'll take a bigger share. I think the Poison Snake Organization would agree."
Black Snake looked at Yun Mengyao, full of gratitude, and hurriedly said, "Yes, the fairy is right. We can compromise on profits."
Actually, he wasn't in charge of the profits; he just needed to bring Qin Yi before the leader to complete his task. As for the rest, it was up to the leader, and not his business. If negotiations failed, it wouldn't be his responsibility.
Qin Yi pondered for a long time, finally nodding under Black Snake's expectant gaze, "Fine, I'll give your organization one more chance."
Black Snake was overjoyed, repeatedly thanking, "Lord Qin really is magnanimous. On behalf of the Poison Snake Organization, I thank you. I wonder if Lord Qin has time now to come with me, I'll take you to meet our leader."
Qin Yi nodded slightly, "Lead the way."
Black Snake beamed, bowing, "Lord Qin, please."
Qin Yi looked at Xiao Jian and the others, "Let's go, everyone together."
Xiao Jian and the others were dumbfounded, taking them to the Poison Snake Organization, wasn't that pushing them into a pit of fire?
Jing Wuyan, however, had unconditional trust in Qin Yi. He knew Qin Yi must have his reasons for doing so, and said, "Alright, let's go together."
Qin Yi slightly smiled, looking at Black Snake, "We're all going, is that okay?"
Black Snake was elated; these people didn't have as terrifying cultivation as Qin Yi. If Qin Yi tried anything, he could use them to restrain him. He quickly nodded, "Of course, no problem, everyone, please."
Xiao Jian, Mo Xiao, and the others, though stunned, could say nothing once Jing Wuyan agreed. Their duty was to protect Jing Wuyan's safety, so wherever he went, they went.
Qin Yi looked at Black Snake, "Choose a secret route, this must be kept confidential."
Black Snake quickly said, "Rest assured, Lord Qin, I understand."
Qin Yi chuckled coldly in his heart, you understand squat. A fool.
