An hour later, the assassin could no longer bear the extreme pain and finally chose to compromise.

He had no choice but to compromise, because if he didn't cooperate with Qin Fei and the other person, he would have to continue to endure this inhuman pain.

He could die, even commit suicide, but the agony of being unable to live or die was unbearable, so he begged for mercy.

Where are you making contact?

Since the other party had backed down, Qin Fei didn't stand on ceremony with them and went straight to the point.

"How...how did you know our contact point?"

Qin Fei's words were like a blow to the head of the assassin, leaving him completely stunned.

These are secrets to outsiders, so how could Qin Fei know them?

"Don't worry about how I found out about this. Just tell me your contact point. If you can, I'll remove the bone needles. If not, then do whatever you want." Qin Fei was too lazy to waste words with them. He knew these assassins were tough as nails. If he didn't teach them a real lesson, they definitely wouldn't cooperate.

If that's the case, why bother wasting my breath talking to them?

Let him make the choice himself.

The assassin was indeed well-mannered; after listening to Qin Fei's account, he decisively chose to shut up.

The consequence of keeping quiet was that he was enduring increasing pain, which caused his whole body to tremble uncontrollably.

"North of the city...the pharmacy in the north of the city!"

The assassin was being tortured to the point of near collapse. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his clothes were soaked with sweat. He had only one thought in his mind: to die as soon as possible.

Because only by dying could he be free from this deep-seated pain.

"I'll spare your life for now, but if I find out you've been lying to us, your fate will be far worse!"

The assassin had already confessed, so Qin Fei saw no need to torture him any longer and removed the bone needles from his body.

After doing all this, Qin Fei and Li Yan immediately exchanged a glance.

“I’ll take care of this,” Li Yan said immediately, understanding the situation.

There aren't many pharmacies in the city, since cultivators can usually handle any physical problems themselves. So, pharmacies mainly sell spiritual herbs and pills.

In fact, Qin Fei could have used his X-ray vision to observe what was going on at the pharmacy in the north of the city, but he didn't.

Since his X-ray vision ability is his strongest trump card and his biggest secret, why shouldn't he use Li Yan, who is readily available as a labor force?

Li Yan was quick to take the initiative and immediately offered to handle the matter, saving Qin Fei the trouble of explaining.

Under Li Yan's orders, people from the Li family quickly began to take action.

Because they don't yet know who the assassin's supplier is, all they can do now is send people over to keep watch and see who is suspicious.

While Li Yan was out dispatching these missions, Qin Fei also took the time to use his X-ray vision to scan the northern part of the city.

With his clairvoyant abilities, he did indeed see a pharmacy in the north of the city.

This pharmacy is quite large, occupying a very large area of ​​land, and it has a large number of customers coming and going.

If the assassin is hiding among them to pass on some information, then finding them will not be an easy task.

Assassins are all highly skilled performers, and Qin Fei's X-ray vision couldn't detect anything for the time being. He didn't see the note, nor did he see any secret rooms or anything like that their pharmacy had built.

"The truly great are those who live in seclusion in the city; it's no easy task to uncover these people behind the scenes."

Qin Fei's cultivation level has reached the mid-stage of the Earth Profound Realm. The next challenge he will face is the late-stage of the Earth Profound Realm, or even the higher Divine Radiance Realm. Therefore, it is impossible for him to use his X-ray vision to monitor the pharmacy at all times.

Since the assassins wouldn't dare come to the Li family's base to kill him anyway, he could simply cultivate first and wait for the Li family's subordinates to send word back.

As the days passed, about three days later, the Li family members who had been keeping watch finally brought back news.

Qin Fei and Li Yan jointly received the representatives who were keeping watch on them.

"Tell me what you know," Li Yan said, gesturing to the member of the Li family.

“This pharmacy has a lot of customers coming and going. We don’t want to alert them and we don’t dare to conduct a large-scale investigation, so we can only record these customers coming and going outside the store.”

"Did you find anything?"

"Have!"

The Li family member nodded, and then said, "Based on our careful observation, several of these customers are acting very suspiciously. They appear at the pharmacy very frequently, and I have reason to suspect that they are doing something shady at the pharmacy."

When Li Yan gave these people his orders, he told them to go and check if there were any suspicious people at the pharmacy. So they didn't know about the assassins, and that was the only answer they could give.

"Do you know them?" Li Yan asked again.

"I barely know them."

“But there’s one I’ve seen!” the Li family member replied.

"You've seen him before?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Fei and Li Yan both turned their gazes in that direction.

"He is from the Divine Martial Sect."

"The Divine Martial Sect?"

Li Yan frowned slightly.

The Zhang, Wang, Li, and Liu families are top-tier forces, but there are other top-tier forces besides them, and the Divine Martial Sect is one of them.

"The Divine Martial Sect is notoriously protective of its own, so their people probably won't be so easy to capture."

Li Yan's expression was not good. After all, it involved a super sect, so he had to be careful.

"Brother Li, I think it would be better to take control of the other suspects first. Perhaps the assassin's supplier is among them."

Even though pharmacies sell miraculous medicines, you don't need to go there often, do you?

Therefore, these people are also highly suspicious.

"We have no choice but to do it your way."

Li Yan seemed unwilling to take action against the Shenwu Sect, so Qin Fei's suggestion suited him perfectly.

Under Li Yan's orders, the Li family members quickly sprang into action in secret. It would be difficult for them to suddenly arrest a large group of people, and it might even cause a huge uproar. However, if they were only asked to arrest a few people, they would definitely be able to complete the task quickly.

The organized and premeditated arrest operation went very smoothly. They subdued the suspects in secret, and the entire process was kept secret from outsiders.

When these people were brought before Li Yan and Qin Fei, each of them looked completely bewildered, clearly not understanding why they had been arrested and brought here.

"Young Master Li, what do you mean by this?" one of the bolder people asked directly.

"You'll understand what I mean soon enough."
