Chapter 812: Chapter 812: You’d Better Give Me an Explanation!

"But why don’t we leave?"

Bai Xiang asked, confused.

"First, I want the Nine-section Calamus! We can’t leave!

Second, even if we leave, they’ll find other ways to kill me, so why not turn the tables? I want to see what skills the assassin has tonight."

Yang Qi explained.

"Alright then!"

Bai Xiang nodded, she wasn’t afraid; as long as she was with Yang Qi, she felt very safe.

The night was deep!

Bai Xiang nervously lay under the bed and somehow drifted into a deep sleep.

Yang Qi closed his eyes, but didn’t sleep as well as she did.

Suddenly, rustling sounds came from the room.

Yang Qi frowned.

He didn’t turn on the light, but in the darkness, he could clearly see many black bugs crawling in through the door cracks.

The bugs emitted energy fluctuations.

Clearly, they weren’t ordinary bugs.

Gu Insects?

Could it be the Gu King is here?

Yang Qi suddenly became tense!

The Gu King’s skills were extraordinary, certainly not something simple to handle.

All of a sudden, these bugs flew towards Yang Qi.

Their speed was incredible, almost like hidden weapons.

"Extinguish!"

Yang Qi punched out, firelight flickering.

A swarm of insects was burned to ashes.

Yang Qi paused, realizing these bugs weren’t as frightening as he’d imagined. Could it be that it’s not the Gu King, but someone else who also uses Gu insects?

He was about to go out and check.

Suddenly, the door was kicked open.

A man wearing the guard’s uniform of the City Lord Mansion rushed in.

"What’s happening, Yang Qi?"

The guard shouted loudly, moving closer to Yang Qi.

"Stop!"

Yang Qi suddenly shouted, flicked his finger from a distance, and a flying water droplet shot towards the newcomer.

The newcomer deftly avoided it, then flicked his wrists, countless hidden weapons shot towards Yang Qi.

"You’ve discovered me, so I have no choice but to make a move!"

The newcomer was evidently surprised that he’d been discovered; he didn’t know what had given him away.

But now, clearly, there was no time to think about it.

After all, in his view, Yang Qi should be easy to handle alone, especially with the Gu Demon’s insects helping.

Sure enough, as the hidden weapons shot towards Yang Qi, black flying insects also flew at him.

Attacked from front and behind!

Yang Qi sneered.

This assassin was indeed strong, at the very least a Fifth Rank Overlord-level expert.

Those Gu insects were also quite formidable.

Even a Sixth Rank Overlord might have a headache.

But too bad, they chose the wrong opponent.

They chose Yang Qi!

Cold Ice Chains!

A chilly aura erupted.

Chains suddenly appeared.

The black flying insects suddenly froze, each one trapped in ice.

And the hidden weapons were all knocked away by the Cold Ice Chains.

"Kill!"

The assassin instantly closed in on Yang Qi at this moment.

Truly an expertly trained individual, both in movements and reactions.

Although the realm wasn’t high, his combat prowess was extremely strong.

This could achieve victory with the weak over strong.

Yang Qi almost suffered.

Fortunately, Yang Qi was strong enough, immediately releasing the Stone Armor Technique.

The opponent’s dagger hit the Stone Armor with a ding sound.

The assassin wanted to escape, but it was too late.

Yang Qi’s cold, sharp gold longsword pierced towards the throat.

Yang Qi wasn’t careless.

This assassin, covered in spikes, if not killed in one strike, might harm Bai Xiang.

So this time, he had no intention of leaving him alive.

The conditions didn’t allow it.

Even though the opponent’s realm wasn’t high, his reactions in this confined space were too fast.

Plus, Yang Qi was somewhat careless, nearly getting hurt.

But thankfully the outcome was good.

The assassin was pierced through the throat, dying instantly.

Falling to the ground, blood flowing profusely.

Yang Qi glanced at the sleeping Bai Xiang and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the room, there was a faint fragrance; it was definitely Hallucinogenic Fragrance, Bai Xiang must have been affected by it, but luckily, it only caused unconsciousness without harm.

Yang Qi wasn’t affected as, being a cultivator, he immediately consumed the antidote he refined himself upon discovering the Hallucinogenic Fragrance.

He opened the window at this moment.

Looking at the corpses of the flying insects, he couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

The combat here had lasted so long.

Logically, the City Lord Mansion’s people should’ve noticed, but until now, no one had come, causing him to have some doubts.

He had suspected this was a Hongmen Banquet from the start.

And now, this suspicion deepened.

However, at this moment, Jin Zizhen arrived with his men.

"Yang Divine Doctor, are you okay?"

Jin Zizhen asked with concern.

"I’m fine!"

Yang Qi glanced at Jin Zizhen and said: "The assassin has been killed by me, let’s see who he is."

As he spoke, he walked over and removed the assassin’s hat to reveal the assassin’s face.

"Peng Zhiyong!"

Jin Zizhen exclaimed in surprise.

"City Lord Jin knows this person?"

Yang Qi asked.

"Of course I know, this person is one of the Three Vicious in Sea City, Peng Zhiyong! The Three Vicious of Sea City are rumored to always operate together; if Peng Zhiyong has appeared, the other two are likely here too!"

Jin Zizhen said.

"One of the Three Vicious of Sea City? Who hired him to kill me? But a Fifth Rank Overlord, isn’t this sending him to his death?"

He acknowledged Peng Zhiyong was formidable, almost injuring him, but it was only a Fifth Rank Overlord. If someone knew his true prowess, they wouldn’t hire such a person.

That means those who don’t understand his true combat power hired him?

The Wei Family remnants? Tang Family remnants? Tianhai Association? Black Evil Sect?

Or, did they hire him jointly?

Hmph!

This matter, he would surely investigate thoroughly.

He glanced at Jin Zizhen and said: "City Lord Jin, only the people from your City Lord Mansion should know my location, should you not provide some explanation?"

"Yang Divine Doctor, rest assured, if our City Lord Mansion has a mole, I will certainly investigate and ensure they can’t disrupt the friendship between us."

Jin Zizhen appeared very anxious, as if afraid Yang Qi would get angry.

Yang Qi frowned and said: "City Lord Jin, no need to be so tense. I just don’t want to be assassinated without understanding. I’ll leave this matter to City Lord Jin."

"I’ll change Yang gentleman’s room at once."

Jin Zizhen said.

Yang Qi shook his head and said: "No need, tonight is a troublesome night anyway, I can’t sleep. Let’s leave it as it is, the urgent task is to find the mole and see if there are other assassins."

"Alright!"

Jin Zizhen nodded and left with his people.

In the next moment, the entire City Lord Mansion was in chaos, seemingly searching for someone.

Yang Qi carried the sleeping Bai Xiang to Bai Xiang’s room.

Waiting quietly.

On the other side, Jin Zizhen rushed to his own room.

The Gu Demon, along with the deceased Peng Zhiyong, were there.
