Old Zhao shook his head like a rattle drum, his voice trembling, "This matter has nothing to do with the family at all."
"The mastermind behind this is Li Changhe."
"I'm not entirely sure why he had a conflict with your family. I only know he wanted to borrow some of our strength, which is why we got entangled."
"And I really didn't participate in that matter back then. In my eyes, your family was just a secular commercial clan, and I didn't even pay you any mind. I just sent some people to help him."
"I agreed that Li Changhe could use my name to find people."
"Li Changhe was merely a tool for our family to accumulate wealth. We never took him seriously, but if you were to act against me, the consequences would be different."
"The experts in our family would definitely not let you go. I am a member of the family, while Li Changhe can at best be considered a dog of our family."
"Not many people even pay attention to him."
Hearing this, Mu Feng's face showed a cold killing intent.
He still had some doubts in his heart.
"Since you don't know anything, I have no use for you. Trying to get useful information from you would be a waste of my time."
"Furthermore, even Old Madam Su could find you. Do you think I'd believe your words?"
Old Zhao's pupils contracted violently. As long as he could live, he would never want to die.
Their eyes were now filled with terror.
"I've already said that this matter has nothing to do with me. The information I can provide you is very limited, but if you kill me, you will definitely bring yourself immense trouble."
"Our family is skilled in using Gu worms. If anything happens to me here, my family will definitely not let you off."
"And you need to think clearly, is it worth offending our family over a trivial matter?"
"As for Old Madam Su, I've known her for a long time. She sought my help wanting to make me a tool for profit. After all, Li Changhe is dead, and Su Nianxue's company is flourishing right now."
"I want to use that old woman to seize Su Nianxue's company and turn it into a tool for making money."
"That was my original intention."
A cold glint flashed in Mu Feng's eyes: "So the true cause of the incident back then was Li Changhe, and you were the one behind him?"
Old Zhao immediately nodded: "That's right!"
"I wasn't too involved in this matter, so there's no need for me to lie to you. You've already avenged your family. Li Changhe is likely already dead."
Mu Feng said with a half-smile, "But I don't believe what you're saying."
Old Zhao was about to break down.
"You are my ancestor!"
"I have no reason to lie to you. Furthermore, our Zhao family has been passed down for thousands of years with no breaks in its lineage."
"There are more than one such noble families. If we truly set our sights on a certain power or have a grudge with someone, we only need to send out one person to torture them endlessly with Gu worms."
"Do you think if we had a grudge with your family, we would let Li Changhe act? I could easily send out someone proficient in Gu worms to make your family wish they were dead."
"Wouldn't it be more satisfying to control your enemies and torture them slowly?"
"We wouldn't need to kill them quickly."
Mu Feng actually believed his words.
Old Zhao's strength would not have been much of a problem for their family back then, and Gu worms were always mysterious and unpredictable.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes: "Regardless, you were still involved in my family's vengeance. If you hadn't lent your strength to Li Changhe back then, my family members wouldn't have ended up in that state."
"We have an irreconcilable hatred between us."
"This matter will not end with you. If the family behind you wants to cause trouble for me, I'll accept it!"
Old Zhao's pupils constricted sharply: "What do you want to do? I've told you everything, and you still insist on attacking me?"
"Don't forget, we are a family with a history of thousands of years, with countless powerful members, and we are extremely skilled in using Gu worms. Do you want your loved ones to suffer along with you?"
Mu Feng's expression turned stern: "They won't get the chance. Anyone who dares to show themselves will never return."
"And I will turn the entire Qinghai into an impenetrable fortress. When they appear, even if I can't find them immediately, I will detect them the moment they make a move."
"I want to see what kind of foundation you have accumulated over thousands of years of history."
With that, he slapped him directly.
Old Zhao was sent flying backward, the pain reaching its extreme.
Heart-wrenching screams continuously emanated from his mouth.
"Mu Feng, you broke your promise! I told you everything, why can't you give me a quick death?"
His angry roar was like a desperate howl.
A cold smile appeared on Mu Feng's face: "Did I ever say I would let you go?"
"I don't recall promising to give you a quick death, do I?"
"The blood feud of my Mu family needs to be washed away with blood. Not a single person involved in that incident will escape."
"Even if you didn't personally take action, you are still tainted by karma."
"Right now, I'm just letting you experience the despair my Mu family members felt back then. As for the consequences, my Mu family is gone. Do you think I would still care about anyone's revenge?"
His voice was cold.
Lying on the ground, Old Zhao was now completely despairing.
His eyes were filled with extreme terror and hopelessness. He knew he was finished.
At this moment, without any hesitation, he took out a pill from his person and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Even if I die, I will never let you torment me like this."
"You wait to be retaliated against! My Zhao family will never let you go."
Furious roars continuously came from Old Zhao's mouth.
However, in the next moment, Mu Feng directly inserted a silver needle into him.
"Even if you want to die, you must have my permission."
"Now, I still need to take you to meet someone. After you meet, I can ascertain the truthfulness of that information."
