Yu Sihuang arrived just in time to save Luo Qingtong from a black-robed attacker. Luo Qingtong revealed that she had already defeated the Witchcraft Sect members, dispatching them with her own swarm of poisonous insects, seemingly surpassing the sect's own control over them. She explained her actions were due to their involvement with Hu Fei's condition.

"Could it be that Hu Fei’s prolonged coma was orchestrated by the Witchcraft Sect?"

The astonishment in his voice was clearly genuine, and Qingtong’s eyebrows immediately arched.

"You’re unaware? Those poisonous insects are capable of infiltrating a person’s body, lying dormant, and seizing control of their mind, rendering life a veritable hell!"

Employing poisonous insects for direct combat is considered the most rudimentary application!

The true terror of the Poisonous Insect Technique lies in the unpredictability of when one might fall victim to their parasitic influence!

Naturally, this method typically only succeeds when the intended target is completely caught off guard.

Once the opponent is alert, its effectiveness diminishes significantly.

Furthermore, for exceptionally powerful individuals who have surpassed the Saint Realm, even if they were to be parasitized…

Unless the insect is of a superior caliber, such as a Poisonous Insect Mother, it would be detected and expelled almost instantaneously.

In a previous existence during the 24th century, Luo Qingtong had dealings with the Gushen Sect, an organization that manipulated numerous individuals through this very tactic.

Having extensive experience with such matters, Luo Qingtong possessed profound knowledge of poisonous insect techniques.

"I am not privy to that information."

Yu Sihuang gazed intently at Qingtong, his expression serious.

All of this was entirely new to him.

It wasn't just him; even those who were aware of the Witchcraft Sect's existence likely remained ignorant of the alternative applications of their Poisonous Insect Technique.

"The Witchcraft Sect operates in the shadows, and all who have encountered them have only witnessed their deployment of poisonous insects in direct assaults!"

"While formidable, this has led many to believe that their insect manipulation is solely a form of offensive strategy!"

"Therefore, hearing from you that they can also ensconce insects within individuals undetected!"

"They must be engaged in considerable clandestine activities!"

"It’s no wonder the Witchcraft Sect has ascended so rapidly among the factions in the Extreme West Wilderness, achieving a respectable standing!"

In the Extreme West Wilderness, achieving rapid prominence is an exceedingly arduous feat.

The established powers near the apex either boast considerable backing or have been entrenched for eons, meticulously accumulating their strength over countless years.

Given the Witchcraft Sect's swift rise, Yu Sihuang found it difficult to believe they weren't orchestrating something significant behind the scenes.

"Regardless of their underlying schemes, a thorough investigation of their headquarters will undoubtedly provide answers."

Luo Qingtong declared, vanishing into the deeper recesses of the valley.

This particular valley was situated in a remote and secluded area within Barbaric City.

The Witchcraft Sect maintained a low profile, and their hidden sanctuary surely harbored numerous secrets and valuable resources.

Luo Qingtong’s figure seamlessly integrated into the Witchcraft Sect’s domain.

At this precise moment, every member of the Witchcraft Sect, under the directive of the Poisonous Insect Mother, found themselves under a counterattack from their own cultivated insects, resulting in their complete annihilation.

Luo Qingtong traversed the scene of carnage, meticulously scouring the entire sect.

Before long, she discovered the information she sought.

"I never anticipated that Bai Feng would be the progenitor of the Witchcraft Sect." Luo Qingtong remarked, a hint of surprise in her voice.

Her gaze fell upon the classified documents unfurled before her.

They explicitly detailed Bai Feng’s role as the Sect Leader of the Witchcraft Sect, and moreover, that she had founded it!

Every initiate to the Witchcraft Sect was obligated to pledge unwavering allegiance to Bai Feng upon their induction, with no provision for treachery!

"Regrettably, Bai Feng exercised considerable prudence, leaving behind no direct evidence to substantiate her identity!"

"And because this secret lacks surviving witnesses, it cannot be presented as definitive proof; otherwise, Lady Yan's quest for retribution could have been satisfied."

Reflecting on this, Luo Qingtong promptly secured the sensitive documents within her storage ring.
