Minutes passed quickly, and the strong man's expression suddenly changed. He felt a force circulating within his body, a force that moved like a living creature along his meridians. Wherever it went, it brought him piercing, bone-chilling pain.
His eyes filled with terror, "What on earth is that thing? Why is it spinning inside me?"
"And it has actually reached my dantian position."
"I can clearly feel its presence, but I can't get rid of it. What is this?"
Mu Feng smiled faintly and said, "You can think of it as a unique Gu worm. This thing will remain in your body, and with a single command from me, it can directly burst your dantian, turning all your strength into dust."
"If you want to become an ordinary person, completely losing your strength, then you can betray me."
"This is equivalent to me putting a shackle on you. If you want to betray me in the future, someone will at least need to offer enough compensation. However, I believe that for a martial artist like you who pursues strength, it's absolutely impossible to cripple yourself."
The strong man's face turned extremely grim. His eyes showed hesitation. After a long pause, only a bitter smile remained, "Forget it. No matter what, you have helped me improve my strength. I know that by following you, I will have more opportunities to enhance my abilities."
"So, even if I sell my life to you in the future, it's fine. After all, I lost to you myself, and I can only blame myself. It's my own fault."
"And I was also tricked by the Yao family."
At this moment, he was gnashing his teeth in hatred for those in the Yao family, his eyes filled with fury.
Mu Feng smiled and said, "I won't ask for your name anymore. From now on, you will be called Xiao Ba."
"I have a few subordinates whose strength is greater than yours. Xiao Qi, who is by my side, is at the same cultivation level as you, but you wouldn't last three moves against him."
"After you meet, you can get acquainted. For now, you can go back to the Yao family. You don't need to do anything, just observe their actions. There are definitely others behind them. You were right, they did trick you into testing my attitude."
"When you return, you can directly tell them that Yao Baichuan was the one who provoked me first, and I dealt with him. I didn't do anything to Yao Baichuan, other than letting him experience the pain in this world."
"He is not insane now, but his mind is not clear from that pain for the time being."
"When you go back, you can directly tell the people of the Yao family that if they want revenge, they can bring other people. You don't want to be involved in this matter anymore."
"In any case, your outward appearance to them should be that of a simpleton."
When Xiao Ba heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, "So, I've actually become a mole."
"But I'm very curious, what kind of powerful figures are behind them? My strength has already reached the Grandmaster realm. Aren't they satisfied with that?"
Mu Feng merely smiled without explanation, because he knew very well that those who attacked him were definitely not good people.
Moreover, it was highly possible that the Yao family would become a tool used by others.
"Go back and do as I said."
Hearing this, Xiao Ba didn't ask anything further. He directly picked up the great saber on the ground, slung it over his back, and revealed a simple, honest smile, "From now on, I'll call you Young Master."
"Young Master, if you need anything, just call me. My phone number is on this business card."
"Besides being a guest elder of the Yao family, I also have some of my own businesses. However, those businesses are rarely exposed to others, and those things are basically my treasures."
"If you need anything, you can call me directly, and I'll have someone deliver it immediately. After all, my life now belongs to you."
"If there's an opportunity, I hope Young Master can give me more medicinal pills to help me break through to stronger realms as soon as possible, so that I can do more for Young Master."
Mu Feng just nodded with a smile, "I didn't kill you because you don't have any malicious intent. It proves you still have your principles, and the blood on your hands does not involve vengeful spirits."
"Now, go back. When the opportunity is right, I will naturally enhance your strength."
He wasn't entirely at ease with Xiao Ba. True friendship is proven by time. He needed to test him further.
If he continued to behave as he was now, he wouldn't mind making Xiao Ba a true subordinate. And once he became his man, he would no longer control him with those drugs.
Xiao Ba soon left. Mu Feng sat in the hall, tapping his fingers on the table.
He desperately wanted to find out who the mastermind behind everything was, but the series of attacks launched against him seemed to strike at his every weakness.
This made him very puzzled. How much did this person understand him to be able to target everyone around him so accurately, and to strike when he was absent?
Perhaps there was someone by his side who was constantly reporting his information to the dark forces behind the scenes.
With this thought, his eyes narrowed slightly. He took out his phone and sent a text message.
Xiao Qi quickly walked in, "Young Master, do you suspect there's a traitor among us?"
Mu Feng smiled faintly, "This matter must be investigated. This traitor might not be someone from our inner circle. Perhaps someone from the company has obtained my whereabouts."
"It would be best to investigate those around Lian Nianxue as well."
Hearing this, Xiao Qi bowed in acknowledgment and quickly hurried out.
As Mu Feng was contemplating matters, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID, the corner of his mouth curled into a slight arc.
As soon as he answered, Du Jiaojiao's collected voice came through.
"Where are you?"
Mu Feng's brow twitched slightly, "I'm at home. Is something wrong?"
"I'm in some trouble. It's in the alley next to the jewelry store. Can you come here?" Hearing the trembling and fear in her voice, Mu Feng's eyes showed a hint of thoughtfulness.
"You're not Jiaojiao. Although your voice sounds the same as Jiaojiao's, this tone is very easy to imitate. Your tone is different from hers." He directly exposed the person on the other end of the line.
And his eyes revealed a cold glint of icy sharpness.
