The thin wisp of black mist floating in front of Ye Qiu was as fine as a hair. If one did not observe carefully, it would be impossible to notice it.
"Go!"
Ye Qiu softly uttered a word, and immediately, the wisp of black mist circled the room before leaving through the door.
Whoosh—
Ye Qiu quickly rushed out.
Long Wang and Zhao Yun had no idea what was happening. Seeing Ye Qiu dash out, the two of them also ran out behind him.
After going out, they found Ye Qiu pacing back and forth in the corridor as if he were looking for something.
"Ye Qiu, what are you looking for?" Zhao Yun asked.
Ye Qiu did not answer, just kept walking back and forth in the corridor. Finally, he stopped at a room door, his gaze fixed on the door.
He saw that the wisp of black mist had stopped on the door.
"Brother Zhao, get me a cup of water," Ye Qiu said.
Zhao Yun took a bottle of mineral water from the room and handed it to Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu quickly unscrewed the cap and poured the entire bottle of water onto the door.
"Xiao Ye, what are you doing?" Long Wang was also puzzled by Ye Qiu's actions.
"Clues about the murderer will appear soon," Ye Qiu's eyes were fixed on the door.
They waited for half a minute.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but ask, "Ye Qiu, where are the clues about the murderer? I don't see anything..."
"Found it!"
Before Zhao Yun could finish speaking, he heard Ye Qiu say he had found it. He immediately looked at the door and was startled, taking two steps back, exclaiming, "Why is there a snake here?"
A black snake gradually appeared on the door.
This was not a real black snake but a snake-shaped pattern.
The pattern was only as big as a fist, with a curved body, head pointing up, mouth slightly open, and a red tongue flickering, looking very lifelike.
The most peculiar thing was that the black snake's eyes faintly emitted a pale green light.
Ye Qiu stared at the snake's eyes for a while and found that the entire black snake exuded an eerie aura.
"Ye Qiu, did the murderer leave this?" Zhao Yun pointed at the snake-shaped pattern and asked.
"It should be."
"This pattern is very strange. I only looked at it for a moment, and I felt a chill all over my body," Zhao Yun said.
"Long Wang, you have seen a lot. Do you know what this pattern is?"
Ye Qiu turned to look at Long Wang and found that Long Wang's teeth were chattering, his eyes flashing with uncontrollable anger. He pointed at the snake-shaped pattern on the door and growled, "It's him! It's him!"
"Long Wang, what's wrong with you?" Ye Qiu was puzzled and didn't understand why Long Wang was so angry.
Zhao Yun, seeing Long Wang's state, suddenly thought of something and asked, "Long Wang, could this pattern be related to the person who poisoned you..."
"That's right, they are a gang," Long Wang said with a face full of anger.
Ye Qiu realized that Long Wang recognized this pattern and asked again, "Long Wang, what is this pattern?"
Long Wang took a deep breath, controlled his anger, and then said, "This is not an ordinary pattern, but the totem of the Witch God Sect."
"What is the Witch God Sect?" Ye Qiu asked again.
"Are you serious? You don't even know the Witch God Sect?" Zhao Yun looked at Ye Qiu in shock, as if he were looking at an alien species.
Ye Qiu said, "Before today, I hadn't even heard of the Longmen."
"Xiao Ye is not from the martial world, so it's normal that he doesn't know the Witch God Sect," Long Wang continued to explain to Ye Qiu, "The Witch God Sect is a very mysterious organization."
"Oh?" Ye Qiu's eyes showed curiosity.
Long Wang said, "The Witch God Sect originated in Miaojiang. Although it is not as powerful as the Longmen, in my view, they are even more terrifying."
"Why?"
"Because the Longmen follows rules, but the Witch God Sect does not. Anyone who offends them will have a terrible end, and I am one of them."
"You?" Ye Qiu seemed to understand something, looking at Long Wang in shock, and asked, "Could the poison in your body be from them..."
"That's right, it was the Witch God Sect," Long Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Many years ago, I saved a man who was covered in injuries on the side of the road. At that time, I didn't know he was a disciple of the Witch God Sect, so I took him home and had a doctor treat his injuries. After he recovered, he stayed with me for two years."
"At the time, I thought he was staying with me out of gratitude, but later I found out that he was actually there to gather information about me."
"Later, I became the twelfth-ranked expert on the Tiger List, ruling the entire Jiangzhou underworld, feeling very proud."
"But I never expected that this bastard would challenge me."
"At the time, I didn't take it seriously, thinking he just wanted to spar, so I agreed."
"Who knew that during the fight, he fought to the death. Out of necessity, I had to injure him."
"It was then that he poisoned me and fled without a trace."
"Only later, when I thoroughly investigated his background, did I find out that he was a disciple of the Witch God Sect. These years, I have been secretly searching for him and the Witch God Sect, but I haven't found any useful information."
Hearing this, Ye Qiu interrupted Long Wang and said, "That shouldn't be the case. The Witch God Sect is so powerful, how could you not find any useful information?"
"That's the mysterious nature of the Witch God Sect," Long Wang said, "The headquarters of the Witch God Sect is in Miaojiang, but no one knows exactly where."
"The Witch God Sect also has branches in some major cities. Each branch has no more than ten people, and these disciples of the Witch God Sect are all highly skilled. Some are good at assassination, some at tracking, some at poisoning... and it's even said that some can perform witchcraft."
Witchcraft?
Ye Qiu was startled.
Is there really someone in this world who can perform witchcraft?
"In short, none of the disciples of the Witch God Sect are simple. If they didn't do so many evil deeds, they would have become the number one sect in the world without exaggeration."
Long Wang pointed at the snake-shaped pattern on the door and said, "Wherever the totem of the Witch God Sect appears, it means that a disciple of the Witch God Sect has been there."
"Does that mean the person who assassinated Jiu Qian Sui is a disciple of the Witch God Sect?" Zhao Yun asked in surprise.
Long Wang nodded, "It should be. I was wondering who had the nerve to assassinate Jiu Qian Sui. Now, seeing this totem, I understand that it must be the Witch God Sect. They are highly skilled and extremely vicious. There is nothing they dare not do in this world."
"Long Wang, I have a question. Why does the Witch God Sect do so many evil deeds? For money, or for something else?" Ye Qiu asked.
Mentioning this, Long Wang became even angrier.
"They do not seek fame or profit. No one knows why the Witch God Sect does evil deeds. They have no底线, poisoning whenever they want, killing whenever they want, doing whatever they please, they are simply a bunch of lunatics."
Ye Qiu was shocked. These are not lunatics, they are clearly a bunch of madmen!
Then, Long Wang said with a serious face, "Xiao Ye, I advise you to stop investigating this matter. Don't look into it anymore."
