176: The Secret of Mulan Mansion

After hearing this.

Lord Wang's expression turned ugly, looking somewhat bewildered.

In truth, Lord Wang didn't know how to explain, as what Li Changfeng said was all true.

But it had already come to this point; if he didn't continue to pretend, he feared... "Speak!" Li Changfeng roared, startling Lord Wang.

"Young Master, actually, I think..." Lord Wang was startled, his face grim.

"I don't need you to think, I need me to think, understand?" Li Changfeng's face was dark, making him seem difficult to deal with.

Lord Wang swallowed hard, cautiously raising his head to look at Li Changfeng.

And just then.

Li Changfeng suddenly roared, "What? Do you think I won't kill you! If you keep babbling, I'll kill you!"

Upon hearing this, Lord Wang was instantly startled, taking a sharp breath.

Immediately, Lord Wang first calmed himself down, then slowly raised his head.

And at this moment.

Lord Wang slowly said, "Young Master, I believe, I believe you will kill me, but even if you kill me, you won't get the answer you want. This isn't something that can be spoken of; you killing me won't make me speak. Why don't you just kill me directly? That way, I'll have a quick end. What do you say?"

Lord Wang was truly a seasoned Jianghu veteran; his eyes were very sharp.

He naturally noticed one thing: this Li Changfeng wanted to extract some information.

After Lord Wang discovered this, he was certain he wouldn't be killed easily.

As long as he didn't reveal crucial information, there was still room for maneuver.

This, too, was very good.

And this was the answer Lord Wang wanted; only this way could he survive.

"Are you really not going to speak?" Li Changfeng had lost his patience.

In truth, Lord Wang had already recognized Li Changfeng, and he certainly wouldn't live.

Li Changfeng was already prepared to act.

"It's not that I won't speak, Young Master, but some things, it's not good for you to know. I'm doing this for your own good, you know?" Lord Wang smiled faintly, his fear now gone.

In fact, Lord Wang knew what he was doing.

As long as Li Changfeng wanted to obtain certain information, he wouldn't easily resort to killing.

At least this way, Lord Wang still had his life.

As long as he could live, Lord Wang would do anything, would be willing to do anything.

"I don't need you to be good to me. I'm telling you, if you don't speak, I'll kill you." A cold glint burst forth in Li Changfeng's eyes.

At this moment, Li Changfeng was truly going to act; he had already made up his mind.

Li Changfeng brandished his Nine Songs Sword; his Sword was very sharp.

Lord Wang saw this scene and took a sharp breath, feeling utterly helpless at that moment.

From the very beginning, Lord Wang had been gambling that Li Changfeng wouldn't kill him for a secret.

However, Lord Wang had gambled wrong. If he didn't speak now, he would be killed. That would be truly dead.

"Wait, Young Master! Please wait!" Lord Wang looked somewhat nervous, quickly shouting out.

Lord Wang's shout nearly startled Li Changfeng.

"What are you shouting about? Answer my question quickly, or I'll take your life!" Li Changfeng twisted his wrist, and his Sword swirled in the air.

Finally, the Nine Songs Sword, with a buzzing sound, cut a half-moon arc in the air.

The Nine Songs Sword was directly pressed against Lord Wang's neck, its cold glint making people gasp.

Cold sweat poured down Lord Wang's forehead, and his hands trembled.

"Young Master, Young Master, what are you doing? I told you, don't get excited, don't get excited! Be careful, this Sword can hurt people." A cold glint flashed in Lord Wang's eyes.

"I'll ask you one last time, who is your backer in Mulan Manor?" Li Changfeng said faintly.

But after hearing this.

Lord Wang's pupils constricted sharply, and he took a sharp breath, utterly helpless.

"Speak or not!" Li Changfeng coldly shouted.

"Young Master, I truly don't know!" Lord Wang exclaimed.

Li Changfeng's face was grim, and a cold glint burst forth in his eyes.

Li Changfeng stared intently at Lord Wang.

At this moment, Lord Wang was utterly helpless; if he had a way, he would have already fled.

"Young Master, you must believe me, I wouldn't lie to you!" Cold sweat poured down Lord Wang's forehead; he was also very afraid.

"I don't believe you. Forget it, I'll just kill you." A cold glint burst forth in Li Changfeng's eyes.

Li Changfeng was doing this on purpose; in fact, he knew very well that this Lord Wang was a wily old fox.

When dealing with such a person, there was no room for even the slightest carelessness.

"Wait, Young Master, I know, I suddenly remembered!" Lord Wang's pupils constricted sharply, and he quickly called out to Li Changfeng.

Lord Wang didn't want to die; he still had a long life ahead, at least not to die now.

After hearing this.

Li Changfeng smiled faintly, revealing a satisfied expression.

"Wouldn't it have been better if you had said so earlier?" Li Changfeng snorted coldly, a cold glint bursting forth in his eyes.

And just then.

Li Changfeng's face was grim as he toyed with the Sword in his hand.

The Sword light flashed past Li Changfeng's eyes, the Sword's edge touching Lord Wang's vital throat.

Lord Wang swallowed hard, trying to calm himself down.

"Actually, Young Master, my backer is a Young Master from Mulan Manor, but I cannot say who it is." After Lord Wang said this person, he immediately regretted it.

This was clearly telling others that his backer was the Young Master of Mulan Manor.

Moreover, the Young Master in front of him seemed very shrewd and not easily fooled; things were getting difficult.

Upon hearing this answer.

Li Changfeng smiled faintly, a cold glint bursting forth in his eyes. Suddenly, he had an idea.

"Alright, I won't ask which Young Master of Mulan Manor it is, and I won't make things difficult for you. Then tell me, why does Mulan Manor insist on occupying Yizhou City? Is Mulan Manor also plotting something in the Northern Region? I'm warning you, don't lie; I can tell." Li Changfeng stared intently at Lord Wang.

At this scene.

Lord Wang swallowed hard, feeling utterly helpless.

Li Changfeng was filled with Evil Qi.

Even if Lord Wang wanted to lie, he wouldn't dare.

"Yes, Young Master, actually, it's very simple. Mulan Manor wants to extend its reach into the Northern Region. As you know, Mulan Manor wants to unify the world by leveraging the Immortal Sect Tournament!" Lord Wang first lowered his head to recall, then slowly said, "And the Northern Region will be a new beginning."

"You're saying that Mulan Manor wants to use the Northern Region as a new beginning? In other words, Mulan Manor is preparing to expand from the Northern Region!" Li Changfeng said in surprise.
