177: kill

Facing the interrogation, Lord Wang first tried to calm himself down.

After a long while.

Only then did Lord Wang slowly raise his head, a cold gleam bursting forth from his eyes.

“Young Master, what you said isn't entirely correct. Mulan Manor's goal isn't just the Northern Territory,” Lord Wang recalled, arriving at a new answer.

Li Changfeng immediately became interested. He paused slightly, “What? Are you suggesting?”

Mulan Manor's goal is to win first place in the Immortal Sect Tournament, and this objective is clearly to unify the world.

But why did Mulan Manor come to this Northern Territory?

And then take Yizhou City and destroy the Gao Family?

Such actions are truly baffling.

“Yes, Young Master. In fact, Mulan Manor had a plan long ago. They targeted the Northern Territory from the very beginning, with a clear goal!” Cold sweat beaded on Lord Wang's forehead.

If Mulan Manor found out that Lord Wang had revealed these things, they would surely take his life.

But if he didn't speak.

Lord Wang would be directly killed by Li Changfeng, which was certainly not a good outcome.

“Mulan Manor taking the entire Continent from the Northern Territory is inevitable. Once Mulan Manor's great army is deployed, it will be an unstoppable sight.” After analyzing this, Li Changfeng was also startled by the situation.

“Yes, Young Master. These are the things Mulan Manor intends to do, and this is all I know. How about you consider letting me go? I need to leave now,” Lord Wang said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this.

Li Changfeng frowned deeply; what he wanted to know was much more than this.

Mulan Manor's future plans?

And Mulan Manor's recent schemes—these were all things he wanted to know.

But Li Changfeng had not yet obtained this information.

If he just let Lord Wang leave like this, Li Changfeng would feel quite unwilling.

“But I still don't know what I want to know,” Li Changfeng said with a gloomy expression, his lips curling into a strange smile.

“Young Master, what else do you want to know?” Lord Wang gasped, trying hard to calm himself.

In truth, Lord Wang felt quite helpless and was growing impatient.

Why did this fellow have so many questions? Who exactly was he?

Initially, he thought he was an assassin from the Gao Family, but now it seemed he might not be at all.

“Do you know about the Immortal Sect Tournament?” Li Changfeng smiled faintly, staring at Lord Wang.

“Immortal Sect Tournament?” Lord Wang was stunned for a moment. After a brief silence, he slowly replied, “Yes, of course I know. It's a major event in the world.”

“Good. Since you know, let me ask you this: What exactly are Mulan Manor's plans for the Immortal Sect Tournament?” Li Changfeng asked softly.

In fact, everything Li Changfeng did was for the sake of the Immortal Sect Tournament.

Divine Sword Sect also needed first place in the Immortal Sect Tournament to solidify its position.

After all, Mulan Manor was fully established. If Divine Sword Sect lacked confidence, they would eventually be manipulated by others.

Li Changfeng disliked the feeling of being manipulated; what he wanted was to manipulate others himself.

“It's actually very simple. Mulan Manor's first plan is to intercept and kill the major Immortal Sect Families on their way to the Immortal Sect Tournament. Jiang Manor is one example, though of course, they cannot do this to some powerful Immortal Sects, such as Divine Sword Sect,” Lord Wang said with a slight smile at this point.

“Naturally, not everyone is worth Mulan Manor's effort. Mulan Manor wouldn't bother with those Second-rate or even Third-rate Immortal Sect Families. This is because such Immortal Sects don't yet have the power to oppose Mulan Manor. As long as Mulan Manor wills it, these people will die,” Lord Wang smirked.

Lord Wang, being the supervisor of Mulan Manor in Yizhou City, was therefore the highest-ranking official of Mulan Manor in Yizhou City.

Lord Wang's words were Mulan Manor's decree; no one dared to disobey.

Of course, the most important point was the Young Master behind Lord Wang—that mysterious Young Master of Mulan Manor.

“Alright, you've certainly said a lot. But I'm still very curious, who exactly is the Young Master you speak of?” Li Changfeng asked tentatively, his lips curving. “I heard that a Young Master died in Yizhou City a few days ago, and I heard he was a Young Master of Mulan Manor.”

After Li Changfeng said this, he paused slightly, turned around, and fixed his bright eyes on Lord Wang.

A sharp glint burst forth from Li Changfeng's eyes; he wanted to find a satisfactory answer from Lord Wang.

But after hearing this.

Lord Wang lowered his head, unsure what he was thinking.

Judging by Lord Wang's appearance, he seemed to be deep in thought.

“Young Master, where did you hear such gossip? No Young Master of Mulan Manor has ever come to Yizhou City. This must be false information,” Lord Wang laughed awkwardly, deliberately feigning composure.

However, Lord Wang's heart was clear as a mirror; he knew exactly what had happened in Yizhou City, but there were some things he could not say.

Seeing Lord Wang's expression, Li Changfeng understood.

“Whether it's true or false, Lord Wang knows better than I do. I just have one question for you, Lord Wang: Was that Young Master your backer?” Li Changfeng pressed again.

A Young Master of Mulan Manor died in Yizhou City, and Li Changfeng was the one involved in that matter.

Li Changfeng needed to clarify whether this Young Master was truly dead.

Even if Lord Wang tried to conceal it, he couldn't hide it from Li Changfeng.

“No,” Lord Wang said coldly, his gaze firm.

“Good, very good. You are not lying.” Li Changfeng nodded lightly. Looking at Lord Wang, he didn't seem to be lying.

The Young Master of Mulan Manor who died in Yizhou City might even be a good thing for Lord Wang.

Otherwise, Lord Wang would not have shown that expression just now.

Li Changfeng smiled faintly, his heart clear as a mirror; now he understood everything.

“Then I will ask you one last question,” Li Changfeng said, his lips curling as he stared intently at Lord Wang.

“Please ask, Young Master.” Lord Wang nodded.

At this moment.

Lord Wang seemed to see a glimmer of hope for survival.

As long as this Young Master learned everything, he would let him go.

Then he could leave!

Lord Wang was overjoyed, unable to suppress his excited heart.

“How many Young Masters does Mulan Manor have?” Li Changfeng asked again. “What are their names, and who are they?”

“Young Master!” Lord Wang gasped, startled.

Immediately after.

Cold sweat poured from Lord Wang's forehead, and his face turned grim.

The Young Masters of Mulan Manor were a secret; this matter could not be carelessly revealed.

However, facing this situation, Lord Wang felt even more helpless.
