Chapter 2492: Alarming the Snake
It's important to understand that trained assassins are far superior to ordinary people in terms of willpower and endurance. Just like the two assassins Qin Fei tortured before, they endured for a long time before finally begging for mercy.
Unlike this weakling in front of me, who started yelling nonsense right from the beginning, the two are simply incomparable.
"Tell me what you do in this position," Li Yan said.
"My job is just to relay messages; I don't need to do anything else," the Shenwu Sect disciple replied.
If his job is simply to pass on messages, then he certainly wouldn't have access to more core secrets. Therefore, he is definitely not an important member of this organization.
It could even be a dispensable role that can be replaced at any time.
"So you mean you have someone above you?" His answer undoubtedly made Qin Fei and Li Yan's faces turn ugly.
“Yes!” he replied.
"Then how did you and your upline complete the information transmission?" Qin Fei asked.
"We exchanged information in the restaurant across from the pharmacy."
"opposite?"
His words instantly plunged Qin Fei and Li Yan's hearts into despair. They knew that all the people the Li family had sent to investigate over the past few days had been lying in ambush in the restaurant.
But now he says the message was delivered in the restaurant. Isn't that a classic case of "the darkest place is under the lamp"?
More importantly, they usually made arrests in restaurants. If his superior was really in a restaurant, the other party would have noticed long ago.
How can we investigate this further?
“We exchange messages several times a day, at the same time and place. Now that I’m trapped here, he’s probably already noticed.”
This was another heavy blow from the Shenwu Sect disciple, which slammed into Qin Fei and his companion's chests.
"Cao!"
After holding it in for a long time, Qin Fei finally uttered a vulgar curse.
Assassins are inherently cautious, so if the messenger suddenly disappears, it will definitely raise suspicion, meaning that the clues they have finally managed to find will be cut off again.
As the saying goes, all efforts were in vain; everything Qin Fei and his team had done was essentially for nothing.
"I really want to punch you to death right now!"
He only revealed such important news now, and Qin Fei really wanted to tear him to pieces.
But he knew he couldn't kill this person because the other party was of high status and was a member of the Divine Martial Sect. If he killed the person now out of personal anger, it would undoubtedly put even more pressure on Li Yan.
However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided.
To vent his anger, Qin Fei gave the other person a good beating, leaving him bruised and battered, almost bleeding from all seven orifices.
"All our previous efforts have been in vain," Li Yan said, shaking his head.
The matter had been made so clear, and he knew in his heart that it was basically impossible to find out who was behind the trouble. The other party's superior was unlikely to reappear in the restaurant.
The city's population has now exceeded 100,000, and finding one person among these 100,000 people is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
"What should we do?" Li Yan turned his gaze to Qin Fei and asked.
"What else can we do? Just let it be," Qin Fei said, shaking his blood-stained fist.
The trail went cold, and they had likely already alerted the culprit. Under these circumstances, trying to find the person hiding in the shadows was nothing short of a pipe dream, so they had no choice but to give up the idea of continuing the investigation.
"call……."
Thinking that he had spent so much effort but ended up with nothing, Qin Fei couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Frustration and helplessness lingered in his heart; all he wanted to do now was collapse into bed and sleep, ignoring everything else.
But the assassins will definitely continue to try to kill me, which is really a worrying thing.
"Let's go, leave this to someone else."
This member of the Divine Martial Sect played a very marginal role in the Tianya Haijiao organization. I guess he would sell his body and soul for a little benefit, which is simply a disgrace to the Divine Martial Sect.
His job was to constantly transmit messages, much like a relay station.
Now that his transit point has run into problems, it's easy to imagine that nothing will be found out about what happened next.
Their true identities have not yet been revealed to this Shenwu Sect disciple, so even if this person is eventually released, it will have nothing to do with them.
Of course, they couldn't just let the Shenwu Sect member go so easily. Under Li Yan's instructions, the Shenwu Sect disciple was eventually tied up by his protectors and left in front of the gate of their Shenwu Sect headquarters.
A large white cloth was hanging on his body, with several large, blood-red characters written on it.
"A lackey of the Tianya Haijiao organization!"
There are quite a few people living in the city nowadays, and this person was so conspicuous that many people saw the white cloth hanging on his body and quickly spread the news.
That's how it is these days; good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.
Especially shocking revelations like this provide plenty of fodder for conversation during leisure time.
The fact that the Shenwu Sect members have ties with the Tianya Haijiao organization suggests there might be more to the story.
This poor Shenwu Sect disciple did escape from Qin Fei and Li Yan's clutches, but upon returning to his sect's headquarters, he immediately faced an even greater calamity.
The ropes binding him had been removed, but the elders of the sect began interrogating him.
"What explanation do you have for the white cloth hanging on your body?" an elder of the Divine Martial Sect asked.
His tone was extremely unfriendly, and his face was frighteningly gloomy.
This matter will definitely spread throughout the city, and everyone will be talking about their Divine Martial Sect. Therefore, they must find out the truth as soon as possible and save face for their sect.
"This is a deliberate frame-up against me and our sect," the Shenwu Sect disciple, kneeling on the ground with his cultivation sealed, argued.
His performance this time was so convincing that it was impossible to tell that it was fake.
He knew that if he couldn't fool the three elders in front of him, he would most likely face his doom.
While the Divine Martial Sect does protect its own members from outsiders, it also maintains strict rules internally, and anyone who dares to challenge these rules often suffers a terrible fate.
So he has to get through this.
"Framed?"
Upon hearing this, the three elders of the Divine Martial Sect exchanged glances, all agreeing that this possibility did indeed exist.
But their arrogance was soon shattered when a disciple of the Divine Martial Sect rushed in with hurried steps.
"Reporting to the elder, someone just threw a small booklet in from outside," the person reported.
"Bring it here," one of the elders hissed.
The booklet didn't contain much information, but after the elder finished reading it, his face turned ashen.
The reason is simple: it contains the records of Qin Fei and Li Yan's interrogation of this Shenwu Sect disciple.
