Chapter 263: Silencing the Witness
Although the sniper's remaining aura was rapidly dissipating, Huo Qinghuang was able to grasp that faint aura with his powerful consciousness.
She followed the direction of the energy and rushed towards the edge of the city like a black stream of light.
Although the energy was weak, it was like an invisible thread, pulling her forward.
The city is still bustling at night, with heavy traffic and people coming and going.
But Huo Qinghuang had no intention of appreciating all this. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to catch the sniper who hurt Huo Lingchuan.
As she got closer, the energy became stronger.
Finally, she came to an abandoned warehouse.
The door of the warehouse was closed and there was dead silence all around, except for the occasional sound of wind, which seemed to be the low whimper of this abandoned warehouse.
Huo Qinghuang stood outside the warehouse, his spiritual sense quickly spread out, covering the entire warehouse.
But the next moment, she frowned slightly.
The warehouse was in a mess, obviously having been the scene of a fierce battle.
Huo Qinghuang followed the guidance of the Qi and came to the entrance of the warehouse basement.
The basement was filled with a strong smell of blood. Huo Qinghuang's expression turned cold and he quickened his pace.
When she reached the basement, the sight before her made her face darken.
I saw a dead body lying in the basement, and the ground was stained red with blood.
The corpse looked extremely miserable, with its throat slit and eyes wide open, as if it had died with its eyes open.
Huo Qinghuang squatted down and carefully examined the corpse, and found that it was just an ordinary person without any aura of cultivation.
However, although the deceased did not have anything on his body that could represent his identity, and even his soul had disappeared without a trace, Huo Qinghuang could still tell from that aura that this was the sniper who shot and killed Huo Lingchuan.
Obviously, this person fled here, thinking that he could get help from the person behind the scenes, but he didn't expect to be silenced and died in an unclear manner.
"Hmph, you got a bargain!"
Huo Qinghuang stood up and continued searching in the basement, hoping to find more clues.
Suddenly, a smudge of black on the window caught her attention.
It was a piece of black cloth, and a wisp of black aura was gradually dissipating from it.
Huo Qinghuang walked over, took the cloth strip in her hand, and twisted it lightly with her fingertips. The breath quickly wrapped around her little finger like a black ring.
After touching his fingers, Huo Qinghuang sneered and turned away.
With this breath, she can find the person behind the spell at any time and give him retribution.
But now, the top priority is Huo Lingchuan's injury.
The people behind the scenes have plenty of time to slowly concoct it.
…
When Huo Qinghuang arrived at the hotel again, he found that the hotel was surrounded by reporters in three layers.
Obviously, the news that Huo Lingchuan was shot has spread, and maybe the old man has arrived by now.
Sure enough, when she entered the venue, she found that not only the old man, but also Huo Lingfeng was there.
At this moment, Huo Lingfeng was squatting on the ground, carefully feeling Huo Lingchuan's pulse.
Huo Qinghuang walked forward quickly, scanning everyone present with a cold gaze.
Her eyes were so sharp that the people around her automatically made way for her and did not dare to look her in the eye.
"Qing Huang, you are here."
Huo Yuheng said in a deep voice, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.
Huo Qinghuang nodded and looked at Huo Lingfeng: "How is Fifth Brother doing now?"
Huo Lingfeng stood up slowly, frowning, his face full of worry: "The bullet went through his head. Although he is out of danger for the time being, the situation is still not optimistic. The brain damage is severe, and it is very likely that he will have serious sequelae, and he may even become a vegetable."
Huo Yuheng stood with his hands behind his back, his face terribly gloomy, and he exuded a frightening aura: "Who on earth did this? How dare they go wild on our Huo family's territory!"
Huo Qinghuang had regained his composure at this point, but his tone was still cold: "I have found the sniper, but he was silenced. But I have mastered his aura, and sooner or later I will kill him and avenge my fifth brother."
As she spoke, she looked at Huo Yuheng and said in a deep voice: "But this person is not the mastermind behind the scenes. The real black hand is the Qiu family."
"Qiu family?"
Huo Yuheng's eyes flashed with anger: "The Qiu family first harmed your mother, and now they are harming your fifth brother. That old man Qiu Hongsheng deserves to have his son killed! Their Qiu family should be extinct!"
“…”
A trace of guilt flashed across Huo Qinghuang's eyes.
She seemed to have forgotten to tell the old man that Qiu Mingxuan was cursed to death by her, and even the other members of the Qiu family would not survive for more than a few days.
Thinking of the Seven Arrows Book, she glanced at Huo Lingfeng and whispered, "Follow me."
Huo Lingfeng didn't understand, but still followed her to the corner.
"I was just about to ask you why you didn't let anyone move Lao Wu. He needs to be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment in his condition."
Huo Qinghuang shook her head and explained, "Going to the hospital won't save him. Don't worry about it. I have my own way to save him. Now, there is an important matter that needs my second brother to do."
Hearing Huo Qinghuang say this, Huo Lingfeng felt a little relieved.
He knew that Huo Qinghuang had many mysterious methods and might be able to save Lao Wu.
"Just tell me what it is, and I will do it."
Huo Lingfeng assured with a serious look.
Huo Qinghuang nodded slightly and told him that she had ordered Zhang Ming to use the Seven Arrows Book to curse the Qiu family.
"When you go back, watch over Zhang Ming. When the spell is over for 21 days, have Zhang Ming shoot seven small arrows into the straw man's body one by one. This is easy to say, but there must be no mistakes. Otherwise, Zhang Ming will die without a doubt."
She told Huo Lingfeng the steps one by one, and then said: "This spell is too vicious, and the backlash is extremely severe. Zhang Ming is just a mortal, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive it. You carry the Pei Yuan Pill with you, if you see the situation is not right, give him three pills, and the rest, I'll tell you when I come back."
“…”
Huo Lingfeng was so shocked that he was speechless at this moment.
He could never have imagined that someone in his old house was casting a spell, a forbidden spell at that, the Seven Arrows Book.
Although he had never seen this spell, he had seen it in a certain mythological TV series.
This is a domineering forbidden spell that can even defeat the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming. Now it is placed in the old house of the Huo family. Just thinking about it makes his scalp tingle.
After a while, Huo Lingfeng finally found his voice.
He swallowed and asked with concern, "Did this spell backfire on you?"
"No. Even if there is, it can't do anything to me."
Huo Qinghuang shook her head and didn't want to say more.
"Okay, leave it to me. When do you plan to rescue Lao Wu?"
Huo Lingfeng nodded in response and asked again.
"Now."
After saying that, Huo Qinghuang turned around and walked towards Huo Lingchuan.
