254: Mulan Mansion's goal

Situ Jiu stared intently at Physician Chen, afraid that Physician Chen might pull some trick.

After all, when traveling, one must be careful about everything. Situ Jiu had a plan and certainly wouldn't let Physician Chen leave easily.

Physician Chen was a spy arranged by Mulan Manor in Yizhou City. His presence here proved one thing.

Physician Chen could help Mulan Manor obtain more useful information, which would be a great help to Nan Qingyue and Situ Jiu.

Originally, Li Changfeng had intended for Situ Jiu to figure out Mulan Manor's goal.

Now that Situ Jiu had Physician Chen in his hands, figuring out these matters would be much simpler.

"Young Master Situ Jiu, I truly don't know. Think about it, if I knew, would I not tell you?" Physician Chen sighed helplessly.

Just then, Physician Chen paused, lowering his head and pondering for a long time.

Afterward, Physician Chen looked up at Situ Jiu, a thought forming in his mind.

If Physician Chen revealed Mulan Manor's goals and movements, he would surely be hunted down by Mulan Manor. But if he didn't speak, he might be killed on the spot by Situ Jiu.

Either way, this was a hopeless situation for Physician Chen.

"But do you think I will believe you?" Situ Jiu asked with a grim expression.

Immediately, Nan Qingyue stepped forward, clenching her fists, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

Nan Qingyue brandished the Sword in her hand, frowning. Her bright eyes stared fixedly at Physician Chen, who felt utterly helpless at that moment.

"That's right, do you really think we are easy to fool?" Nan Qingyue stepped forward and stood in front of Physician Chen.

At that moment, Nan Qingyue twisted her wrist, and the Sword in her hand was placed directly against Physician Chen's neck.

Physician Chen gasped, feeling extremely helpless.

"Miss, Young Master, please don't be rash! I really have told you everything I know. You mustn't attack; please don't act recklessly." Physician Chen was tense and dared not be careless.

Now, Physician Chen's life was in the hands of Nan Qingyue and Situ Jiu. Acting recklessly now would bring him no benefit whatsoever.

Situ Jiu's face was grim. He brandished the Dagger in his hand without hesitation.

Bang!

Following a dull sound.

Situ Jiu swung the Dagger in his hand, twisting his wrist. The Dagger flashed with a cold light as he fiercely plunged it deep into Physician Chen's calf.

"You are just trouble. You refuse to speak when you should. Why must you look for trouble?" Situ Jiu sneered.

"Ahhh!" Physician Chen screamed miserably, his pupils contracting sharply.

Physician Chen's heart trembled, and he dared not move.

The Dagger was deeply embedded in Physician Chen's calf, and blood immediately flowed from the wound.

This intense stinging pain made Physician Chen even more sober.

At this point, Physician Chen dared not delay. He drew a sharp breath, trying to use this method to calm himself down.

However, the stinging was unbearable for Physician Chen, and he let out several muffled groans.

"Don't do this! I've told you everything I know! Don't! Kill me!" Physician Chen let out a long breath, attempting to relieve the pain in his body this way.

At this moment, Physician Chen was genuinely terrified, afraid that these two people would really kill him.

And right at this moment.

Physician Chen took a sharp breath, first trying to collect himself.

"Good, then tell us clearly: What exactly does Mulan Manor want to do? What is their next target? And why does Zhang Chongfei want the Seven-Colored Powder?" Situ Jiu's face was grim, and he wore a serious expression.

Nan Qingyue's gaze sharpened as she stared fixedly at Physician Chen.

Then, Situ Jiu reached out and tightly grabbed Physician Chen's collar.

"Start talking?" Situ Jiu sneered.

"But, ah, forget it." Physician Chen sighed deeply, feeling utterly helpless. If there was another way, he would take it. "Let me put it this way: I truly don't know Mulan Manor's secrets, but I do know some less important information."

Physician Chen smiled slightly and looked up at Situ Jiu.

A long while later.

Situ Jiu looked up at Physician Chen.

"Fine, then speak more. Tell me everything you know," Situ Jiu said coldly, his face grim.

And right at this moment.

Situ Jiu stared at Physician Chen, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Actually, the situation is this: Mulan Manor has a plan. They are determined to win the Immortal Sect Tournament, especially the Top Spot. They will definitely take first place." Physician Chen said with a grim expression, taking a sharp breath.

Situ Jiu's face darkened upon hearing this.

Nan Qingyue stepped forward, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

Immediately, a cold glint flashed in Nan Qingyue's eyes. She stared at Physician Chen, a thought forming in her mind.

"But what happens next? What is Mulan Manor planning? What are their plans for the future?" Nan Qingyue asked coldly.

"Actually, next, Mulan Manor will definitely ambush and assassinate the Disciples of the major Sects who are coming to the Immortal Sect Tournament midway. This will help Mulan Manor secure the Top Spot in the Immortal Sect Tournament." Physician Chen said with a grim face, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Physician Chen gave a wry smile, feeling utterly helpless.

"Then, Mulan Manor disciples will set up an ambush near the entrance of the Immortal Sect Tournament," Physician Chen said.

"What are they preparing to do there?" Situ Jiu asked, puzzled and curious.

The Immortal Sect Tournament is certainly watched by all the great immortal families. If Mulan Manor were to act at the Tournament itself, chaos would surely erupt.

Mulan Manor would not want to see such a situation.

"It's simple," Nan Qingyue said, lowering her head, a cold light flashing in her eyes. "Mulan Manor disciples are ambushing near the Immortal Sect Tournament. As soon as these people check into Inns or Taverns, they will definitely be noticed. If Mulan Manor's Disciples strike at these people, especially during Midnight, they can definitely do it without anyone knowing."

Hearing this, Situ Jiu gasped, feeling extremely helpless.

It seems Mulan Manor's ambition is truly great.

"That's right." Physician Chen sighed after saying this, feeling even more helpless. "Mulan Manor has already made all the arrangements, so you two shouldn't go either."

"Of course, you don't have to listen. I'm just being kind; otherwise, I can't help you."

"I'm also afraid you might all die on the road."

Physician Chen raised his head, looked at Nan Qingyue and Situ Jiu, and sighed.
