942: Chapter 938: South City 942: Chapter 938: South City Since ancient times, medicine and poison have been inseparable, as medicine, in a sense, is also poison, and poison, in a sense, is also medicine.
Thus, the research lab of Bilis not only studies poisons but also medicines.
Because the martial artists of the Night King Hall often get injured in battles, Bilis’s research aims to provide immediate treatment for these martial artists so they can recover swiftly after being injured.
Of course, if confronted with an enemy, Bilis will unleash the deadly poisons she has concocted to deal with them mercilessly!
Ye Tian hadn’t even stepped into Bilis’s room when he heard Bilis’s voice—
“Qiqi, you’re truly amazing!
There’s no antidote in this world that can counteract alpha hydroxyl!
Yet you resolved it so effortlessly.
The chemical formula you wrote on paper is so miraculous!
It’s already ahead of this world’s technology!”
Bilis exclaimed in amazement, and Ye Tian could hear the immense admiration Bilis had for Tian Qi.
“Bilis, you’re overreacting.
I’ve only learned a few superficial things!”
Tian Qi felt somewhat embarrassed by Bilis’s praise and admitted modestly.
“What superficial?
What you’ve learned is already the essence of the essence!”
Bilis added.
Ye Tian listened attentively at the door, confirming that Bilis was indeed deeply impressed with Tian Qi.
But this was also understandable…
Ye Tian had learned from Ye Zhirong that, although the Black Hole Clan lived in caves, their technology was exceptionally advanced, far surpassing the world’s most advanced research institutions!
Just imagine, creating a ‘Egg of Death’ like the Divine Artifact is not something ordinary technology could achieve…
So, it’s understandable that Tian Qi, as a member of the Black Hole Clan, is highly knowledgeable in pharmacology and toxicology.
Ye Tian pushed open the door to Bilis’s room, and both women turned their heads to look at Ye Tian.
Bilis asked, “Boss, is there anything you need?”
Ye Tian pointed to Tian Qi beside Bilis and smiled, “Bilis, I’m here to see Qiqi.”
Bilis smiled and said, “Qiqi, now you’re a popular figure in the Night King Hall!
Martial artists come one after another to invite you for dinner and to spar with them!
And now even the boss specifically came to see you, you’re truly in high demand!”
“Is that so?”
Tian Qi also smiled, then left the room with Ye Tian.
“Dark Night King, what do you need me for?”
Tian Qi asked curiously, and Ye Tian only spoke when they reached the door to Lin Shao’s holding room: “Qiqi, there’s a guy who seems to have some connection to the Black Hole Clan.
Come see if you recognize this person?”
With that, Ye Tian pushed open the door.
In the room, Lin Shao was tied to a chair, while Ye Xuong glared at him menacingly.
In such a situation, Lin Shao wouldn’t be able to escape the Night King Hall’s headquarters even if he had wings to fly away.
“I don’t know this person.”
Tian Qi glanced at Lin Shao, shook her head, and said.
“Hehehe—if you don’t know him, Qiqi, let’s listen to what this kid has to say!”
Ye Tian chuckled, and then looked at Lin Shao.
“Kid, now tell us the whole story of how you hired Ah Hong as your bodyguard!
If there’s even a hint of concealment, the three of us here will divide you into three pieces and each take a piece to eat!”
Ye Tian merely gave a mild threat, but Lin Shao was already frightened out of his wits, so he naturally spoke without reserve.
“I’ll talk!
I’ll say everything!
Please just spare me!”
Lin Shao nodded and bowed, then revealed the entire story to Ye Tian and the others.
It turned out that Lin Shao was a well-known rich second-generation in Jiangcheng who often got into fights and suffered some losses and injuries in his behavior…
So Lin Shao thought about hiring a powerful bodyguard so that when engaged in fights, a bodyguard would protect him, giving him confidence without fear!
But Lin Shao looked down on those bodyguards from the military, as there had been frequent reports recently of such bodyguards being beaten helpless despite attacking as a group.
Thus, Lin Shao planned to hire a more formidable bodyguard.
After searching online, Lin Shao finally found his target!
An organization capable of hiring invincible bodyguards.
Despite the high price, these bodyguards were unbeatable!
Attracted by the term “invincible,” Lin Shao immediately went to South City to hire a bodyguard, who was Ah Hong!
Just as advertised online, this bodyguard was incredibly strong and would obey Lin Shao’s command, with the only flaw being that he wasn’t fond of speaking…or one could say, this bodyguard didn’t speak at all…
Despite this imperfection, Lin Shao was quite satisfied overall and brought Ah Hong from South City to Jiangcheng.
Lin Shao thought he could now walk unchallenged in Jiangcheng, but he didn’t expect his bodyguard, Ah Hong, to encounter a martial artist like Ye Tian.
Within moments, Ah Hong was turned into a pile of minced meat…
“Great hero, I haven’t lied a single word!
So please, spare my life!”
After narrating the entire story, Lin Shao immediately pleaded for mercy.
Ye Tian’s gaze was as sharp as a blade, knowing full well that Lin Shao wasn’t lying.
He glanced at Ye Xuong and said, “Ye Xuong, this kid might be arrogant, but it seems he hasn’t committed any heinous crimes, so let’s release him for now.
However, if we see him bullying others, oppressing good people, or even beating up policemen in Jiangcheng in the future, then gather a few brothers to tear him to pieces!”
Ye Tian spoke heavily, without a hint of falseness…
Lin Shao hurriedly nodded and bowed, “Great hero!
I wouldn’t dare!
I won’t act recklessly!
Rest assured, just let me go this time, and I’ll certainly behave myself!”
“Get out!”
Ye Xuong was also too lazy to waste words with Lin Shao, so he untied Lin Shao’s ropes, and Lin Shao promptly scurried away…
After Lin Shao left, Ye Tian turned to Tian Qi.
“Qiqi, what this kid mentioned should be the actions of your Black Hole Clan, right?
Just now, I detected the scent of the Rakshasa Queen on the bodyguard he hired, so I assume it must involve the Black Hole Clan’s research on the Rakshasa Queen’s flesh and blood, correct?”
“Yes…”
Tian Qi also nodded.
“However, what I know has already been told to you, so even if you ask me more, I wouldn’t know how to answer…
Though I am one of the Thirteen Guards, I don’t know everything about the Black Hole Clan…”
Tian Qi appeared somewhat embarrassed, but Ye Tian, despite not interacting much with Tian Qi, trusted this female from the Black Hole Clan quite a bit!
Tian Qi, although powerful, was relatively simple in character and didn’t talk much…
“South City is indeed quite far…”
Ye Tian hesitated, thinking that if, according to Lin Shao, those suspicious martial artists all came from South City, he would want to investigate South City himself.
But South City was a border town, and further south of South City was India, which was quite a distance from Jiangcheng…
Having just returned from Tianshan City, Ye Tian didn’t plan to embark on another journey anytime soon.
“In that case, Boss, let me and Ms.
Qiqi make a trip there!”
Seeing Ye Tian’s hesitation, Ye Xuong immediately volunteered.
Ye Tian glanced at Ye Xuong, who, being the second-in-command of the Night King Hall, understood Ye Tian’s temperament well.
Tian Qi also looked at Ye Tian and said, “Indeed, this time, I’ll go with Ye Xuong!”
In fact, Ye Tian had Tian Qi join the interrogation of Lin Shao not only to gather some information from her but also in the hope that Tian Qi could handle some tasks for the Night King Hall.
Now, it seemed that his purpose was achieved!
However, given the current state of the Night King Hall, the entire group couldn’t be deployed to a place as remote as South City, so sending one or two experts to investigate was necessary.
Moreover, Ye Xuong was the second most powerful figure in the Night King Hall, after Ye Tian, and Tian Qi’s strength was no less than that of Ye Xuong.
The two working together could indeed complement each other.
“That would be good!
But you must be careful, and report the results to me immediately!
Most importantly, the journey to South City will undoubtedly be very dangerous, so never push yourselves.
If the situation seems unfavorable, retreat immediately, got it?”
Ye Tian instructed, and Ye Xuong and Tian Qi promptly nodded…
“Especially you, Qiqi, being from the Black Hole Clan, I’m unsure if the Black Hole Clan views you as a traitor, but because of your awkward identity, try not to expose yourself too much in the open!
So this time, you must act discreetly and avoid being caught!”
“I understand…”
Tian Qi replied quietly, touched by Ye Tian’s concern…
Ye Tian added, “Then, Ye Xuong, Qiqi, start your investigation from the website Lin Shao provided!
Remember, take steady actions and never get careless!”
“Yes!” “Yes!”
Ye Xuong and Tian Qi replied in unison.
Ye Tian was quite satisfied with this pairing.
The tasks entrusted to them should be completed perfectly by these two…
After giving his instructions, Ye Tian left the room and practiced briefly in the backyard.
Although he had made some progress in the art of flying and the ‘Wind and Cloud Combined, Maha Infinity’ techniques, the advancement was limited.
So Ye Tian did not rush through his training but took a stroll around the estate…
Although a powerful enemy was approaching, the martial artists did not falter in fear but continued their diligent practice.
Following the expedition to Tianshan, the injuries suffered by the martial artists had completely healed, so they were all striving to enhance their power!
Martial artists capable of cultivating the Xuan Yun Gong cultivation technique had started practicing Xuan Yun Gong…
And those with lesser strength who felt unready to cultivate Xuan Yun Gong didn’t force themselves but continued to solidify their foundational power.
