The whistling wind roared past his ears. The man in sunglasses exerted all his strength, pushing his speed to the absolute limit. Without hesitation, he bolted, heading directly into the sparsely populated mountainous region.
For a true master, crowded places were not ideal for escape. True masters could lock onto one's presence, making it impossible to hide.
It was better to plunge into the mountains. At least this way, the chance of being discovered would be reduced. He understood this very clearly, which was why he pushed his abilities to the extreme.
However, he soon realized something was amiss. There seemed to be a sound behind him, and as he ran across the grass, he could distinctly hear the rustling noise as it was brushed aside.
While fleeing at top speed, he suddenly turned his head. He saw a figure behind him, hands clasped behind his back, his movements as leisurely as strolling through a garden.
With just one step, it was as if time and distance were instantly bridged, and the figure appeared dozens of meters away. This sight caused his pupils to contract sharply.
His gaze revealed utter shock. For a moment, he even forgot he was running at full speed and ran headfirst into a small tree beside him. The tree, as thick as a bowl, snapped in half. His face was also covered in numerous scratches.
At this moment, he knew he had been targeted by a true master. Escape was likely impossible. After a brief hesitation, his footsteps halted.
"You... who exactly are you?"
"How can you possess such uncanny speed?"
Mu Feng stepped forward and instantly appeared before the man in sunglasses. A smile played on his lips, "My speed can only be described as very slow."
"Because you are too slow, I can only follow at a leisurely pace."
"Initially, I thought you would lead me to the person behind you. I never expected you would only focus on escaping, with no intention of seeking refuge with them."
"But it doesn't matter. As long as I capture you, a source of information, it can lead to more people."
"As for who I am, you are not qualified to know."
The man in sunglasses' pupils contracted even further. A hint of fear flickered in his eyes. He took a few steps back, his voice trembling, "You must be someone from Mu Feng's side, right? You've chased me for so long, you definitely won't let me go easily."
"Tell me, what do I need to do to be let go? Whatever price I can pay, I won't hesitate."
A subtle curve appeared at the corner of Mu Feng's mouth, "As I said, I just want to find a clue from you."
"As long as you can provide me with a clue, I will naturally dig my way to the person behind you."
"If you provide me with useful information, not only can I let you live, but I will also help you undergo a complete transformation. From now on, you will no longer be hunted by the Alliance."
The man in sunglasses could hardly believe it. He exclaimed instinctively, "How did you know I'm from the Alliance?"
The smile on Mu Feng's face became more pronounced, "Your face is practically screaming 'Alliance.' I already know the results of your previous actions."
"And when you few gathered, didn't you notice anything amiss? Why was I the first to detect you, instead of you having an opportunity to act?"
The man in sunglasses instinctively asked, "Did you detect us long ago, or is there someone among us who is your mole?"
"What do you think?" Mu Feng smiled faintly and took a step forward, "Also, let me tell you a secret. I am not Mu Feng's subordinate."
"Then who are you?" The man in sunglasses found it hard to believe, and his heart began to beat faster. He knew that besides Mu Feng's people, no one else would be interested in him.
They were from the Alliance. Once his identity was known, people would likely avoid him immediately.
Everyone knew that the notorious Alliance was not to be trifled with. Once you clashed with them, it was a fight to the death. Especially since the people of the Alliance were extremely protective of their own and would never easily allow someone to bully them.
Yet, the person in front of him not only pursued him relentlessly but even intended to attack him directly. And crucially, this person was not from Mu Feng's side. This gave him much to ponder.
After a moment of hesitation, he asked directly, "Since you know I'm from the Alliance, and you have no connection to Mu Feng, why have you been chasing me?"
"What kind of clue do you want? What is your relationship with the people behind me, and why are you so insistent on them?"
Mu Feng's smile grew more evident, "You don't need to worry about why. Today, I just want to find the people behind you. If you can provide me with useful information and lead me to them, as I said, I will give you a chance to change your identity."
"I can even help you start anew, so you no longer have to show your face in this manner. I will also rescue your nephew, Feng Jiajun."
"I'm only giving you this one chance, and only one minute to consider."
"After this minute is up, you will have no further opportunity to make any conditions with me."
Upon hearing this, the man in sunglasses couldn't help but shudder. Fear appeared in his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to know me so thoroughly, and to know that my nephew was captured by Mu Feng. Since you already have this information, can't you figure out who the people behind me are?"
"You can infiltrate Flying Eagle directly, let alone us. Although the Alliance excels at stealth, it's mostly because we operate on a single-line connection, making it impossible for us to discover our higher-ups."
"Furthermore, even in such situations, we will cut off contact immediately, making it impossible for us to be discovered. Since you can obtain information about us in a timely manner and infiltrate Flying Eagle, you are truly terrifying."
Mu Feng said nothing, watching him silently. His gaze seemed to penetrate everything.
The man in sunglasses felt a slight burning sensation in his chest. After speaking, he took several deep breaths, and a look of determination finally appeared in his eyes.
"I can take you to find the people behind me, but how can you prove that you can help me change my identity? You might not understand how powerful the Alliance is. If I completely flee, they will immediately consider me a traitor."
"How to prove it?" A smile appeared on Mu Feng's face.
