"Xu Mu, I've been waiting for you for quite some time."
Seeing Xu Mu's terrified expression, Lin Feng spoke calmly.
The moment he saw Xu Mu, he understood that Liu Yujiao had been dragged into this because of him.
Xu Mu finally reacted, speaking with difficulty, "You, how can you be here?"
Lin Feng gave him a cold glance before saying, "It's not your place to ask questions now."
"What are you? How dare you be disrespectful to Brother Xu!"
Although the driver brought by Xu Mu had guessed some of Lin Feng's identity, he immediately roared when he saw Lin Feng being disrespectful to Xu Mu.
"I am not a thing."
Lin Feng finished speaking, raised his hand, and an Ice Talisman pierced through the driver's throat.
Killing someone with a raised hand for a single sentence.
Lin Feng was too arrogant and excessive. Anger surged in Xu Mu's heart, but he knew he was no match for Lin Feng at the moment.
He could only suppress this anger. He understood that in Lin Feng's eyes, he was no different from his own subordinates.
A Cai and A Fa simply lowered their heads. They already knew that Lin Feng was a killer who didn't blink an eye. He had never stated a reason for killing anyone.
He simply killed them when he disliked them, as if others were not considered lives in his eyes. He was more suited to being an assassin than them.
"Why did you kidnap Liu Yujiao? Speak up, and I might consider sparing you."
Although Lin Feng's tone was calm, his anger was no less than Xu Mu's.
What was Liu Yujiao's relationship with him?
Simply because he lived in the Liu family's house?
Liu Yujiao was kidnapped because of him?
Lin Feng could not accept this fact. If you have something against me, then come at me directly, and I would respect you as a man.
He never expected Xu Mu's methods to be so despicable.
"Dream on! I'll never tell you even if I die!"
Xu Mu said hatefully.
Lin Feng, upon hearing Xu Mu's words, was not angry but pleased.
Xu Mu didn't say he didn't know; he just said he wouldn't tell.
However, this would not stump Lin Feng. If he wanted Xu Mu to speak, he had a hundred ways to do so.
Without a second persuasion, Lin Feng raised his hand and shot out a Containment Talisman and a Truth-Telling Talisman.
After being hit by these two talismans, Xu Mu immediately became dazed.
"Now, tell me why you kidnapped Liu Yujiao."
Lin Feng's voice remained cold, but Xu Mu nodded unconsciously.
Listening to Xu Mu recount the plan he and the long-haired man had devised, word for word, A Cai and A Fa felt a chill run through their bodies. Lin Feng's methods left even someone like Xu Mu with no ability to resist.
As Lin Feng listened, his expression grew worse. If Liu Yujiao were to be harmed because of his matters, with his personality, he would definitely die helping the Liu family, and it was not impossible for him to get injured.
If the Liu family were to fall, he would indeed only have the option of fleeing overseas.
These two people were formidable!
They used the banner of the Aristocratic Family Alliance to carry out their own affairs.
If it weren't for a twist of fate, he would have been completely outmaneuvered and defeated.
From the perspective of this matter itself, the possibility of success was too great. In other words, as long as Liu Yujiao did not return home, this plan had already succeeded.
Lin Feng thought about Xu Mu and the long-haired man. He decided that he must properly deal with these two guys, otherwise, he wouldn't feel comfortable.
If Lin Feng couldn't draw talismans, he would have certainly played along with their plan and caused so many factions to fall into infighting.
But now, there was no need. Because he had already drawn so many talismans, he didn't need these schemes; he could simply storm their doors.
With that thought, Lin Feng immediately asked, "How do you return after you succeed?"
"After succeeding, I will leave some people behind to continue dealing with Lin Feng, and then I will personally lead my men to the mountain range. There is a mountain that we have hollowed out."
Xu Mu answered very meticulously.
Lin Feng was secretly surprised in his heart, hollowing out a mountain?
Was this something that ordinary people or ordinary forces would do?
Lin Feng had to admit, he was amazed.
No wonder he was arrogant; he indeed had the capital for arrogance.
Lin Feng turned his head and looked at A Cai.
"Do you know where that mountain is?"
A Cai quickly nodded. He knew that if he said he didn't know, he might be the next one to be killed.
The effect of the talismans wore off.
Xu Mu's eyes regained their clarity, but he remained silent. It was clear that although he had been controlled earlier, he was aware of what he had said.
"Take me to the hollowed mountain," Lin Feng said to Xu Mu faintly.
Xu Mu seemed hesitant, but then he immediately said, "Kill me. I will never take you to the hollowed mountain. If you want to go, A Cai can also take you there."
"I don't know how many Aristocratic Family Alliances there are, but I know one thing for sure: in their eyes, you, Xu Mu, are at most just a hired hand, nothing more."
Seeing that Xu Mu's refusal was not very firm, Lin Feng immediately had the idea of subduing Xu Mu.
He didn't want Xu Mu to obey him, but rather to support a puppet.
He wasn't a bloodthirsty person. Whether it was the Aristocratic Family Alliance or the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, he couldn't kill them all.
Xu Mu was somewhat loyal and intelligent. As long as he was stronger than Xu Mu, he didn't need to fear him betraying him.
This was enough for Lin Feng. His ultimate goal wasn't about how the Liu family would fare. He would eventually leave this place.
He expected to skim off some profit from this trip to the alliance.
Don't blame him for being greedy; it was simply that the path of heavenly craftsmanship was too expensive, and there was no other way.
Seeing a flicker of hesitation in Xu Mu's eyes, Lin Feng knew that his words hadn't moved him.
Instead, he was thinking if those forces would remember him for three minutes after he died for them.
Although his tone was tough, faced with a glimmer of hope for survival, he still hesitated.
He recalled his own situation. He and the long-haired man had apprenticed at the same time. Although they had never been bullied due to their master,
To put it bluntly, their master was just a rogue cultivator.
If something were to happen to his master, he would be the first one to be harmed by those forces.
Recalling this incident, where they had formulated the plan together, but it was he who had acted.
Seeing Xu Mu ponder with his head lowered, Lin Feng sneered again and said, "I will not let those forces go. Even if I fail, do you still think I can't escape?
I'm not trying to persuade you; I'm just trying to avoid trouble.
After I kill these forces, I will inevitably need someone to take over. You are just more suitable.
If you are unwilling, I will still kill them, but the person taking over will no longer be you."
"What?"
Xu Mu looked up at Lin Feng in shock. He couldn't believe that Lin Feng would suggest he take over so many forces; that was practically an emperor!
"Fighting the Liu family, even if you win many resources, you won't get a share. By fighting them, you can get some."
Lin Feng said again. He didn't know Xu Mu's personality or character, nor could he find compelling words to persuade Xu Mu. If he still refused after he said this, he wouldn't waste any more time and would simply eliminate him.
