75: To reduce consumption and increase benefits, is there any trick that cannot be used?

"Hahaha! Mo Family Head, I've come to visit you!"

As soon as Mo Xuancang reached the entrance, he heard a hearty laugh from outside.

He was very familiar with that voice; it was Feng Zhe, the City Lord of Tianfeng City.

Feng Zhe had only brought five or six people with him; Chen De was not accompanying him.

Seeing Feng Zhe again, Mo Xuancang noticed that the tense atmosphere around him had disappeared.

As soon as they met, Feng Zhe's tone was full of apology, and he sighed, "Alas, Mo Family Head, the truth has been investigated. It was indeed that slut who was instigated by someone to sow discord between us."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuancang was inexplicably excited, "Then, does that mean I was indeed wronged?"

Feng Zhe laughed heartily,

"That is natural. In fact, I have always believed you were wronged.

Today's investigation confirmed it.

Upon receiving this news, I naturally had to inform you as soon as possible.

Initially, I could have just sent a few people to notify you, but I was afraid you might overthink it, so I came personally to explain.

However, I am busy with official duties, and these past few days, I've been tied up with all these messy affairs.

Moreover, such an embarrassing matter isn't worth publicizing, is it?

That's why I chose to come at night. Please forgive me, Mo Family Head!"

Mo Xuancang was overwhelmed, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. I still have to thank the City Lord for investigating the truth and clearing my name."

Saying that, Mo Xuancang hesitated for a moment, "May I ask, City Lord, who exactly was trying to frame me?"

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Feng Zhe glanced around, "There are too many eyes and ears here; let's go inside to talk."

Mo Xuancang immediately slapped his thigh, "Ah, right, right! How could I let the City Lord stand at the door talking to me?"

"It was my negligence, City Lord, please forgive me. Please come in with me, City Lord."

Then, Mo Xuancang led Feng Zhe and his group into the Mo Residence and treated them with great care.

As he left, he gave a look to the guards at the door.

The guards immediately understood and closed the Mo Residence's main gate.

Entering the Mo Residence, they arrived at the meeting area.

After arranging for all the servants, including those brought by Feng Zhe, to step out,

Feng Zhe got straight to the point, suddenly whispering to Mo Xuancang, "The one who slandered you is the Lei Family."

"What? How is that possible?"

Hearing this, Mo Xuancang's face turned pale with shock, full of disbelief.

"What's impossible about it? Don't forget, in the battle of Vortex Forest, he lost an arm.

Even though he has since regrown it through some methods, it still significantly impacted his strength."

He, referred to Lei Hong.

Such a thing, with Mo Xuancang's intelligence, he would never understand.

Moreover, this was, of course, false, all made up by Feng Zhe, just to sound a bit more reasonable.

It was all speculation, with no real evidence.

Mo Xuancang was listening intently, and Feng Zhe was secretly pleased.

He didn't even notice himself leaning a few inches closer to Mo Xuancang as Feng Zhe continued to explain in detail,

"Now, Lei Hong's strength is the weakest among the three of us, so he will inevitably suffer losses in future profit distribution.

Therefore, he became audacious, bribing that slut's family and some guards in my residence to frame you."

"What? How dare he!"

Mo Xuancang's face was filled with shock and anger. Fortunately, this matter was investigated.

If it hadn't been investigated, what would he do? What would the Mo Family do?

Immediately, Mo Xuancang wanted to go to the Lei Family to settle scores with Lei Hong.

As for that concubine, she was, after all, Feng Zhe's concubine, and without Feng Zhe's word, he dared not do anything.

Feng Zhe instantly saw what Mo Xuancang was thinking, "Don't rush. I've already sent people to wipe out that concubine's family, flaying them alive and scattering their ashes.

As for the Lei Family, I came here this time to discuss countermeasures with you."

"What countermeasures?" Mo Xuancang listened attentively.

The time was about right. Feng Zhe slowly walked in front of Mo Xuancang, "The countermeasure is..."

Feng Zhe suddenly launched a fierce attack on Mo Xuancang, aiming a heavy blow directly at his vital points.

Mo Xuancang had no idea Feng Zhe would attack him. Wasn't there still the threat of the Silver Scale Rhino King outside?

Under such circumstances, he would still attack him.

Don't look at how he was just discussing with Feng Zhe how to deal with the Lei Family and Lei Hong.

But in reality, Mo Xuancang had never thought of killing Lei Hong.

It wasn't that Mo Xuancang didn't want to kill him, but the Silver Scale Rhino King was still lurking outside, and Feng Zhe wouldn't let Lei Hong die.

So he only wanted to unite with the City Lord's Mansion to sanction him.

But now, Feng Zhe actually attacked him, and what's more, he went for a killing blow right away.

As a result, caught off guard by such a fatal blow, Mo Xuancang was sent flying backward on the spot.

His body crashed through the door, landing in the courtyard outside, spitting blood.

Mo Xuancang was so badly hit by Feng Zhe's palm that he couldn't speak, "You, you... why is this?"

Feng Zhe smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Very confused, aren't you? Want to know why I want to kill you? Want to know why, if I was going to kill you, I talked so much with you?"

"Don't rush, I'll tell you about the second one!"

Mo Xuancang, his mouth full of blood, stared fixedly at Feng Zhe.

"That's simple. It was to relax your guard, to strike suddenly when you were unprepared."

"Saying a few more words means fewer moves, so why not?"

"I'm here to kill you, not to spar with you.

Anything that can reduce effort and increase the chance of success, what dirty trick can't be used?"

"For example, just like now, one move from me, and you are seriously injured and spitting blood.

It's much more comfortable than fighting tirelessly for half a day."

Mo Xuancang slowly shook his head upon hearing this, "I really want to know why you're killing me. Is it because of that concubine?"

Hearing this, Feng Zhe seemed a bit helpless, "You fool, I'll tell you the truth, whether or not that concubine was involved, I was going to get rid of you anyway."

"Why?"

This was what Mo Xuancang cared about most.

Feng Zhe pondered for a moment, "Because today, I received a piece of intelligence."

"What intelligence?" Mo Xuancang urgently wanted to know the answer.

"Intelligence about the Vortex Forest. You should have guessed what it is, right?"

Intelligence about the Vortex Forest. Mo Xuancang silently repeated it several times, and then, he suddenly realized something.

"Could it be..."

Feng Zhe affirmed this,

"That's right, it's exactly as you thought. The Silver Scale Rhino King was severely wounded, ambushed by other demonic beasts, died in battle, and all its resources were plundered, leaving the entire southern region a barren wasteland."

Hearing this, Mo Xuancang slowly closed his eyes, "It seems you've long harbored the intention of killing me.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be so impatient."

Mo Xuancang chose not to resist, because within Tianfeng City, facing Feng Zhe, who possessed the city's protective array, everything was futile.

Feng Zhe didn't use it just to minimize losses, and even without it, he was no match for Feng Zhe.

Looking at the seriously injured Mo Xuancang, Feng Zhe delivered another blow, knocking him aside, where he lay motionless.

Just then...
