Chapter 515: Chapter 515: The Gift of the Poison Spider

"Can’t we just be friends?" the woman said with a charming smile. She was an absolute enchantress, and an ordinary man might not be able to withstand a single smile from her. At the same time, the tattoo on her neck revealed her ruthless side.

"I’m not interested in making friends with strangers. Besides, you’re from the Blood Lotus Sect, right?" Yang Qi asked.

"Correct. I am a gold-level assassin of the Blood Lotus Sect!" the woman said with a smile. "You can call me Poisonous Spider! You might not want to be my friend now, but I’m quite interested in you. Time reveals a person’s true character, and I’m sure you’ll eventually be conquered by me."

"By the way, I’ll help you conceal this matter. The deaths of those five have nothing to do with you—they encountered a mysterious expert! That way, you’ll avoid a lot of trouble!"

"Then thank you very much!"

Although he was unsure what Poisonous Spider ultimately wanted, the proposal didn’t sound bad. At the very least, the Blood Lotus Sect wouldn’t be constantly watching him. He was now a Body Tempering Stage expert, but that didn’t mean he was invincible in this world. He still needed to be cautious. If someone wanted to be friends, why not accept? Moreover, the Blood Lotus Sect was rumored to be one of the top three assassin organizations in Dragon Country. He had no idea how strong their assassins were, and it wouldn’t be wise to provoke such formidable foes. He was confident, but that didn’t mean he was foolish. His combat power was definitely not at an invincible level.

"What do you need me to do?" Yang Qi asked, looking at Poisonous Spider.

"Hee hee, Mr. Yang is indeed a smart man. I’ve heard you’re skilled in Alchemy. I hope you will refine a Green Blood Pill for me. Of course, I will provide all the materials. You just need to perform the refinement," Poisonous Spider said with a smile.

"A Green Blood Pill?"

Yang Qi frowned. "The Green Blood Pill is a bit difficult—it’s a Mortal Grade Second Level Elixir. You’ll have to give me some time!"

"Of course!" Poisonous Spider nodded.

In truth, refining the Green Blood Pill was as easy as flipping his hand for Yang Qi. But if he made it look too easy, others might feel their payment wasn’t worth it. Naturally, he had to put on an act.

Suddenly, Poisonous Spider’s expression turned cold as she launched a palm strike toward Yang Qi.

Yang Qi’s expression changed. He was about to dodge when he realized her gaze was fixed on something behind him.

A chill ran down his spine. He hadn’t even noticed someone was there.

BOOM! A figure was sent flying out of the darkness.

"Poisonous Spider, what are you doing?" the man shouted. "Dammit, you hit the wrong person!"

"No mistake. I was aiming for you!" Poisonous Spider sneered, seizing the man by the throat. Her terrifyingly potent venom instantly corroded him, melting him into a puddle of pus.

"Hee hee, consider this a gift!" Poisonous Spider said with a laugh.

"Thanks!" Yang Qi nodded, accepting the favor. Although the man might not have been able to kill him, since his Stone Armor Technique was now constantly active, the assailant likely couldn’t have pierced his body. Still, it had been a dangerous situation. This assassin had managed to hide his presence so perfectly—it was truly terrifying. If not for Poisonous Spider’s intervention, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

"Heh, no need to be so polite!" Poisonous Spider chuckled. "I like straightforward people like you! Well then, I’ll be on my way!"

After saying her piece, Poisonous Spider quietly disappeared.

Yang Qi frowned as he looked at the puddle of pus on the ground. His Realm was still too low; he hadn’t even detected the assassin. However, the Blood Lotus Sect must hold him in high regard to dispatch not only those five brothers but also such a terrifying assassin. If it hadn’t been for Poisonous Spider, he would likely have faced sleepless nights from now on. However, since the Blood Lotus Sect dares to provoke me, they should just wait for me to come knocking.

Yang Qi was cautious and low-key, but that didn’t mean he feared anyone.

At present, he certainly couldn’t contend with the Blood Lotus Sect. But as a Cultivator, his future self would definitely be more terrifying than the entire sect. It had only been about three months, yet he had already become the most powerful existence in Jingnan Prefecture. Give him a year, and he would undoubtedly be able to dominate Jingzhou. Qingxuan, wait for me. I’ll come for you very, very soon! Although he was impatient, some things had to be done properly. He had to be fully prepared.

Yang Qi returned home to find Huang Borren cultivating. He asked, "Do you know about the Blood Lotus Sect?"

"The Blood Lotus Sect!"

Upon hearing these words, Huang Borren’s expression changed drastically. He nodded and said, "If we’re talking about the strongest and most mysterious sect in the world, that would naturally be the Heavenly God Sect. But when it comes to the most troublesome, it would definitely be the three major assassin organizations, and the Blood Lotus Sect is one of them. They have their own sub-branches in every prefecture of Dragon Country.

"The sub-branch in Jingnan Prefecture is supposedly the weakest, but it’s said that its Squad Leader is an Overlord Level powerhouse. They just don’t show themselves; otherwise, the Heavenly Dog Society and the Four Clans and Six Families wouldn’t be able to act so arrogantly here."

"Got it. Continue your cultivation," Yang Qi said with a wave of his hand. He then called out to Iron Heart, "Prepare the car. We’re going to the Thunder City Grand Hotel. I have an appointment there tonight!"

Despite the day’s events, Yang Qi hadn’t forgotten about the evening meeting. He wanted to settle the affairs of Jingnan Prefecture as soon as possible and then seek new opportunities. Only opportunities could make him stronger.

"Understood!"

「Elsewhere, at the Wang Family villa.」

Tang Chuan was suffering from a backlash. Although injured, he didn’t decline the evening’s invitation, as it was the perfect opportunity to learn more about Thunder City. Wang Teng, Yan Duo, and others arrived to take him to the Cloud Sea Hall at the Thunder City Grand Hotel. The car was also filled with carefully selected beauties. Tang Chuan was very satisfied; after the day’s unpleasant events, he was eager to blow off some steam.

「Meanwhile, in the Cloud Sea Hall of the Thunder City Grand Hotel.」 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Lei Qingtian, Ye Feng, Kong Tianjian, Elder Chen Guo, Yao Ran, Lei Tingjun, Lei Yingying, and others had already arrived. This was the first time Yang Qi had personally called for a meeting, so naturally, they dared not be late and had even arrived early.

Lei Qingtian glanced at Lei Yingying and said, "When will your master arrive? Everyone is getting impatient, waiting for him to announce the big news."

Lei Yingying smiled. "Grandfather, don’t worry. The Wolf King just sent a message saying my master is on his way. He should be here soon."

"I wonder what Mr. Yang wants to talk about this time? I’m a bit nervous," Ye Feng remarked.

Ever since he witnessed the battle between Yang Qi and Wu Yonggui, he had been thoroughly shaken and had vowed to follow Yang Qi. However, Yang Qi didn’t seem to trust him very much. To be invited to this meeting now was a true honor, and he felt genuinely flattered.

"Don’t worry. Perhaps it’s just a simple dinner," Elder Chen Guo said with a chuckle. "Mr. Yang has always been approachable and doesn’t stand on ceremony. There’s no need to be nervous!"

Ye Feng gave a bitter smile.

How could he not be nervous? He was the only newcomer here, wasn’t he?
