Chapter 1405: Poison Spirit Appears

“You god bandits actually dare to attack men from the Demon-Killing Pavilion? You are courting your death!”

An explosive howl traveled from far away. Following that, five shadows shot forward as the few god bandits that had escaped were easily killed by them. Many god bandits that were on the verge of death were also finished off by them.

Jiang Yi smiled coldly to himself. Xiao Leng had thought that reinforcements had arrived and was extremely excited.

The five were extremely fast. They easily evaded the yellow sand worms and released their attacks, killing god bandits along the way. Within seconds, all the low-grade god bandits had all been killed as the five quickly neared Jiang Yi and Xiao Leng. As the yellow sand worms did not receive any order to attack the five, they allowed the five to approach easily.

“Ahhh!”

The battle here was almost reaching its end as well. Xiao Leng had coordinated with the yellow sand worms to kill one of the god bandit commanders while the other had been eaten alive by the yellow sand worms. Xiao Leng scanned using his divine senses and was slightly bewildered. “It actually is Young Master Qin Rong?”

“En?”

Jiang Yi had wanted to order the little beast to control the yellow sand worms and stop the five. Upon hearing Xiao Leng’s words, Jiang Yi was slightly taken aback. Xiao Leng actually knew this blue-haired young master? Could Jiang Yi be mistaken? These people were actually really allies? Jiang Yi asked Xiao Leng in a low voice, “Old Xiao, you recognize them?”

Xiao Leng nodded as he sent a voice transmission: “The Qin Clan is one of the top ten great family clans in the Earth Emanations Domain. This Young Master Qin Rong is the first young master of the Qin Clan. His reputation precedes him, and his character is pretty upright. Many great family clans’ young mistresses all adore him. He is one of the most famous five young masters in the Earth Emanations Domain.”

“His character is pretty upright?”

Jiang Yi was even more suspicious. If he was a top-tier martial artist, why would he want to harm Jiang Yi? Jiang Yi and Qin Rong did not have any grievances. Furthermore, as Qin Rong was from a very respectable family, there was no way he would act rashly. After all, Jiang Yi had Mo Lingqiu as his backer. Could this whole thing really be a misunderstanding?

“You know him?”

Qin Rong brought his four men as they stopped tens of thousands of feet away. He looked at Xiao Leng as his eyes revealed a sliver of suspicion. He asked, “You are?”

Xiao Leng courteously cupped his hands and said, “I am Xiao Leng, a member of the Blue Eagle Prefecture Xiao Clan. I had met young master once in Earth Emanations City.”

“Oh!”

Qin Rong nodded as he said casually, “It’s someone from the Xiao Clan? Eh… Xiao Leng? This name is very familiar!”

One of the Demon-Killing Battle Gods next to Qin Rong looked at Jiang Yi, who was still being protected by a shield made of yellow sand worms and said softly, “Young Master, Xiao Leng has been ordered by the Xiao Clan to protect City Lord Jiang. That man should be City Lord Jiang. Lord Mo had mentioned him before previously.”

“Oh? You are Jiang Yi? City Lord Jiang?”

Qin Rong’s divine senses scanned on Jiang Yi as he courteously smiled and said, “I should have connected the dots long ago. There are only so many Hunting Envoys after all. City Lord Jiang, I am Qin Rong. Come to think of it, I and Lord Mo Lingqiu go way back. The last time I had gone to visit Uncle Mo, he had mentioned you.”

One would not strike against someone playing along. Since Qin Rong had mentioned Mo Lingqiu already, Jiang Yi could not maintain his shield of yellow sand worms anymore and asked them to retreat underground. He cupped his hands and said, “Greetings to Young Master Qin!”

“Nice job!”

Qin Rong glanced as the seemingly unlimited amounts of yellow sand worms continued to rush underground as he sighed and said, “I had long heard from Uncle Mo that Jiang Yi, you are a genius. You indeed live up to your reputation today. You actually managed to control the yellow sand worms? Based on this mystical ability, you are destined to be known throughout the Earth Emanations Domain. It is my great fortune to be able to be acquainted with you.”

Xiao Leng glanced over, his eyes filled with surprise. Jiang Yi scratched his nose, embarrassed, and did not wish to continue on this topic. He casually cupped his hands, laughed, and said, “It is but a little trick! Young Master Qin is too kind.”

Qin Rong smiled and nodded. He scanned the surroundings and said, “City Lord Jiang, since you are under Uncle Mo, I will not hide this matter from you. According to our sources, the Poison Spirit is in the vicinity. You guys should be careful. We will make our move first. If you have the time to head to the Qin City next time, you must look for me.”

Jiang Yi politely cupped his hands and replied, “Many thanks for Young Master Qin’s reminder. I will definitely pay you a visit in the future.”

Qin Rong and company cupped their hands towards Xiao Leng as they turned and flew far away. At this moment, a voice transmission suddenly rang out in Jiang Yi’s mind: “A man is approaching swiftly from beneath!”

“There is an assassin!”

Xiao Leng had also sensed this as he moved swiftly and headed towards Jiang Yi. Qin Rong and company had also paused in the distance. One of them investigated for a moment and instantly shouted, “It’s the Poison Spirit! City Lord Jiang, be careful.”

Jiang Yi and Xiao Leng’s soul spirits instinctively shook. Poison Spirit was too formidable. If it really was the Poison Spirit launching a sneak attack, that would mean big trouble.

“Brother Jiang, hurry up and flee! Poison Spirit, die!”

Qin Rong brought his four men as they flew quickly towards Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi had wanted to ask the little beast to control the yellow sand worms to stop the assassin from beneath. However, at this moment, he suddenly realized that something was amiss.

Wasn’t the Poison Spirit known as having the most terrifying assassination arts outside the Phantom Race?

Since that was the case, how was it that the ‘Poison Spirit’ beneath had been so easily detected? If he really was the Poison Spirit, his assassination arts were quite poor, right? Combined with Jiang Yi’s prior suspicion of Qin Rong and his men, he suddenly had a hunch that there was something wrong with the five men!

“Little Ferocious, stop the five of them!”

Jiang Yi said in a low voice. Following that, he looked at Xiao Leng and shouted, “Old Xiao, bring me underground but do not engage the enemy. Go to the deepest parts of the underground at the fastest speed!”

The little beast did not hesitate at all after Jiang Yi gave the order. Immediately, countless yellow sand worms appeared in front of Qin Rong and company. They formed wall after wall of worms. Xiao Leng had initially wanted to rush downwards on his own. However, after hearing Jiang Yi’s cry, he decided to play it safe and dragged Jiang Yi underneath with him. His divine senses scanned downwards as he also started to realize what Jiang Yi was trying to say. The assassin beneath them was only at the God King level; it was not the Poison Spirit after all!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Numerous yellow sand worms shot forward as they formed wall after wall made of golden worms. That scene was rather magnificent. The little beast had sent out all the yellow sand worms under its control, with every five thousand of them forming one worm wall. At least seven to eight walls rose up as they obstructed Qin Rong and company’s way.

These walls were very effective.

The worm walls had hindered four of the men from pressing forward. Only one man was bursting through each worm wall at a terrifying speed; that speed was almost double that of Xiao Leng’s. Furthermore, he had smashed through the worm walls with much ease. He did not even release any attacks but had directly passed through the walls. Those yellow sand worms seemed to not have seen him at all as he passed through easily; not a single yellow sand worm had attacked him.

“This…”

Xiao Leng used his divine senses to scan above ground and his soul spirit shook. He looked as if he had seen a ghost.

The one that had gone past the worm walls was not the four Demon-Killing Battle Gods but was actually Young Master Qin Rong. Xiao Leng’s eyes shifted as realization dawned on him. He shouted out fearfully, “You are not Qin Rong. You are the Poison Spirit! Your limbs are all intact; this is a plot!”

Qin Rong was very famous in the Earth Emanations Domain. However, he was only at the God King Realm. If he had broken through to become a God Thearch, that news would have long spread throughout the continent.

This person’s speed was almost double of Xiao Leng and had broken through the worm walls without emitting any signs of life. He was also flying without a sound or any auras; that was why the yellow sand worms could not lock onto him.

Also, this man had disguised himself as Qin Rong; even Xiao Leng did not see through the disguise. Thinking about who could possibly possess such a powerful mystical ability, Xiao Leng instantly thought of the Poison Spirit who was known to be a master of the arts of assassination.

According to the news from the Demon-Killing Pavilion, the Poison Spirit had broken a limb; he was not supposed to be able to regain his full strength in a short time. At that moment, he looked perfectly fine! This was obviously a plot that was targeting Xiao Leng, or maybe… targeting Jiang Yi.
