Chapter 420

Xu Qi remained in that calm state.

"Speak clearly if you have something to say."

Hu Hai was already too lazy to keep questioning.

Xu Qi also knew that if they could not produce a result that satisfied Hu Hai regarding their cooperation,

Hu Hai would likely choose to terminate their cooperation.

If Hu Hai terminated his cooperation with their Yin-Yang School, then all the status he had obtained in the Yin-Yang School would vanish like a moon reflected in water.

"This item is called the Rain of Needles."

"Once opened, it will shoot out ten thousand silver needles as fine as ox hair within the time of a single breath."

"Every single silver needle is coated with deadly poison; once it enters the body, it can cause a person to die from the poison in the shortest possible time."

Xu Qi said slowly.

After hearing Xu Qi's words, Hu Hai's eyes widened slightly.

"You possess such a terrifying weapon, yet you still couldn't resolve Prince Fusu."

He felt even angrier at this moment.

"Prince Fusu has already been poisoned, and I fear he won't live much longer."

"Doesn't the Young Master think this is an opportunity?"

"If Prince Fusu had really died in that assassination, even if Ying Zheng didn't suspect you, he would still have opinions."

"But as long as Prince Fusu didn't die in the assassination, and dies from the poison later, this will have nothing to do with you at all."

"This kind of poison has no cure."

Xu Qi said.

"Are you sure this poison has no cure?"

"Then when exactly will Prince Fusu die?"

Hearing this, the pent-up anger in Hu Hai's heart finally dissipated somewhat.

"Prince Fusu hasn't died yet, likely because an expert is suppressing the poison in his body."

"Looking at it this way, within a few months, Prince Fusu will surely die."

"Even if this poison is suppressed, it will slowly spread over time."

Xu Qi was very certain.

"Very well, then I will believe you one more time."

"I give you three months; if Prince Fusu is not dead in three months, our cooperation will end completely."

A coldness flashed in Hu Hai's eyes.

He was willing to cooperate with these people precisely because he could get what he wanted from their hands.

But he was not limited to only cooperating with these people.

If others could also give him what he wanted, he wouldn't mind cooperating with others.

"I ask the Young Master to rest assured; this time I will definitely satisfy the Young Master."

Xu Qi said.

Contemplation flashed in his eyes.

Looking at Hu Hai's demeanor, it seemed he had already begun to feel distrust toward them.

Xu Qi knew.

This was not a good sign.

After all, Hu Hai was merely a chess piece in their hands to control Great Qin.

If this chess piece developed suspicions toward them, it would undoubtedly make the act of controlling the entire Great Qin more difficult.

It seems the most urgent thing now is to win back Hu Hai's trust.

In the courtyard.

"You are saying that Hu Hai has already developed suspicions toward us?"

Donghuang Taiyi's voice was exceptionally cold, and in this night, it undoubtedly deepened somewhat.

"That is correct, Leader; if we cannot resolve Prince Fusu as soon as possible, I fear Hu Hai will choose to terminate our cooperation."

Xu Qi's brows furrowed.

Thud.

As soon as his words were finished, his entire body was immediately sent flying by a powerful force.

Then he fell heavily to the ground.

"Leader."

A hint of panic appeared in Xu Qi's eyes.

He struggled to crawl up from the ground, then knelt before Donghuang Taiyi.

"Hu Hai is merely a chess piece in our hands."

"He is not yet qualified to refuse to cooperate with us."

"It seems the events of this period have made this little chess piece a bit too ambitious."

"It is time to properly discipline him."

Donghuang Taiyi's cold voice echoed throughout the courtyard.

Subsequently, his entire figure disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Watching Donghuang Taiyi's departure, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

And Hu Hai, who was resting in his sleeping palace, had no idea.

A terrifying figure was rapidly approaching his location.
