Chapter 1229: Qingscorpion's Assassination (Fifth Update)



The night gradually deepened, and the people on the ridge were ready to rest early. Qing Scorpion specially set up a double tent for Shen Qiang and said, "This is a special tent made by the Dragon Group, capable of blocking Divine Sense and True Yuan. Usually, it's not this big when on a mission. It's just right for you and Miss Jiang."

The twin-tailed girl and the mixed-race beauty manager looked at Qing Scorpion with a hint of disdain, giving him a glance that implied he was simply flattering.

Moreover, Shen Qiang clearly noticed something strange.

The twin-tailed girl and the mixed-race beauty took out a tent and set it up as well, and it was almost identical in style and material to the one Qing Scorpion had set up for him.

Furthermore, intentionally or unintentionally, Shen Qiang noticed that not only did Qing Scorpion seem to know these two women, but the other members of the Dragon Group seemed to know them as well.

Yet, from start to finish, they never revealed their identities.

This seems a bit interesting.

Everything was tidied up.

It was not yet nine at night.

Shen Qiang and Jiang Hanyang crawled into the double tent.

The sleeping bag was soft and warm, and the beautiful heroic thief Jiang Hanyang beside him was fragrant and shy.

Looking at her beautiful eyes, Shen Qiang smiled and held her in his arms.

With her face slightly flushed, Jiang Hanyang whispered mischievously in Shen Qiang's ear, "I'm quite sure those two women know Qing Scorpion and the others."

Shen Qiang smiled, "What about the others?"

"The twin-tailed girl is on her period, the mixed-race beauty is defiant towards you, Qing Scorpion is somewhat disappointed, the other Dragon Group members are a bit terrified of the mixed-race beauty and somewhat jealous of you. Besides, I think Qing Scorpion's intentions might not be as simple as kidnapping and blackmailing you; he might be planning to kill you."

"Why? What's the reason?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Hanyang, the beautiful thief, smiled and said, "If he just wanted to kidnap and blackmail you, he wouldn't allow other cultivators to join our team at this time. But he didn't oppose those two women at all, nor did he conduct any interrogations or investigations."

"This suggests he not only knows those two women's backgrounds but also knows their intentions and believes they won't be a hindrance. Therefore, he allows them to join in. If his goal were to kidnap and extort you, their appearance would mean sharing the spoils with two more people."

"If this were the case, even if Qing Scorpion didn't mind, the other team members would unconsciously show exclusion, but they haven't. So now I think the other Dragon Group members and those two women might not know what Qing Scorpion intends to do."

Shen Qiang smiled and, after pondering for a while, said, "Makes sense, Qing Scorpion was once the strongest assassin in the Dragon Group. His current attitude is that he doesn't care about others joining, only whether I trust him. So he probably plans to burn his bridges, kill me, and either go on the run or frame others."

Jiang Hanyang smiled, her eyes cunningly said, "He can't beat you. If you weren't on guard, he might have a slim chance, but now that we've more or less figured out the entire situation, he's definitely the one who will lose."

Shen Qiang chuckled, then said seriously, "I'm determined to capture the demon in this oasis. The oasis is not small, but it's ultimately limited in scope. Those cultivators will surely find it tomorrow. I don't want any worries when dealing with this Great Demon, so tonight, I want Qing Scorpion to make a move."

Jiang Hanyang smiled enticingly and said, "So you watch him and say that anyone who eats your roasted meat is under surveillance for a week?"

Shen Qiang slightly furrowed his brows and said, "Yes, if Qing Scorpion is smart, he should realize that on this ridge, where the barbecue aroma is the strongest, I couldn't grasp everyone's details, but it's different once they leave. He must believe that those spices allow me to monitor him like radar, so tonight is a good time for him to act."

Jiang Hanyang sighed, then smiled and said, "I think you'll succeed, unless Qing Scorpion is a fool who stubbornly thinks he should act while you're subduing the demon. Otherwise, he'll definitely make his move."

Shen Qiang laughed, rolled over to pin Jiang Hanyang beneath him, and smiled, "So now, let's do something naughty to pass the waiting time."

With her face blushing, Jiang Hanyang coyly glanced at Shen Qiang and spat, "You're incorrigible."

Then her slender arm stretched out.

She turned off the light in the tent.

The winter nights were long.

On the ridge, the Gang Wind howled.

Shen Qiang and Jiang Hanyang whispered as if they were already asleep. The twin-tailed girl and mixed-race beauty seemed to be asleep too. Qing Scorpion, who ordered the team members to rest in the tents immediately, was quietly leaning against the cliff edge alone, his eyes shining like knives staring at Shen Qiang's tent.

And below the ridge, in the camp by the lakeside where nearly a hundred cultivators gathered, many cultivators gradually fell asleep as time went by.

After all, everyone was conserving energy for subduing the demon the next day.

Only Qing Scorpion, waiting for the opportunity, felt every moment like a year.

But inside his tent, Shen Qiang seemed sound asleep, silent, unable to be probed by Divine Sense, making Qing Scorpion uncertain about the best time to act. So he eventually decided that if three o'clock in the morning arrived without an opportunity, he must act, even breaking into the tent without hesitation.

Time ticked by, minute by minute.

Quickly, at two forty in the morning, as Qing Scorpion was repeatedly contemplating how to assassinate Shen Qiang, he was pleasantly surprised to hear the tent zipper open. Then he was delighted to see a sleepy Shen Qiang, groggily heading to the side of the ridge, undoing his pants as if to relieve himself.

"Great opportunity! Perfect opportunity!" Seeing this, Qing Scorpion's eyes shone brightly, his entire being merging silently into the mountain rock like a shadow, following closely.

"You're dead, Shen Qiang! You're dead!"

Qing Scorpion shadowing Shen Qiang silently from the mountain rock waited patiently for the moment Shen Qiang relieved himself, for at that time, his defense would undoubtedly be the weakest, the best moment to strike.

But then, just as he eagerly awaited the perfect timing with excitement,

he was stunned to hear Shen Qiang lazily say, "Who are you? Which brother is following me? Come out, I can already smell the spice on you."

Upon hearing these words, Qing Scorpion's heart chilled as he revealed himself.

A small, bright dagger gripping in his hand behind his back, he smiled slightly and, as he approached Shen Qiang, laughed, "I didn't expect your spice to be so miraculous. Don't worry, I'm here to protect you."
