Tang Youyou fixed her phoenix eyes on the man, her gaze sharp. The smile on her lips sent a chill down his spine. He finally realized that this seemingly frail person in front of him was by no means as weak as she appeared.
Seeing the man trembling all over, she slowly bent down, clamping his chin and forcing him to look into her eyes. "I want to know everything about Chi Yunfeng!"
Hearing this, he was instantly stunned. But if he really told her, the old man would surely never let him off. He had witnessed with his own eyes Mu Chi skinning a living disciple alive!
The terror in that person's eyes was something he would never forget for the rest of his life!
However, this person in front of him was even more terrifying than Mu Chi.
He tremblingly propped himself up to a sitting position with both hands. "You... can you really guarantee that I won't be in any danger?"
Tang Youyou understood his concerns. She nodded. "I can guarantee this, but only if what you say is true. If there's even a single lie in what you say, you won't have to live anymore."
As she spoke, the man finally nodded. "I can tell you everything you want to know."
"All you need to tell me are all the things about Chi Yunfeng and the entire Western Region."
The man nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"Chi Yunfeng was originally a lineage favored by Elder Mu Qing. Every time medicinal herbs were transported, most of them would be stored in Chi Yunfeng."
"Under the guise of providing him with a certain guarantee to make useful pills, in fact, it was to provide Mu Chi with the medicinal herbs to make poisons."
"That's why the current Grand Elder can no longer preside over the entire Western Region while the Second Elder can. Because the Grand Elder has been poisoned and has no time to attend to the affairs of the Western Region."
At this point, the boy finally stopped talking. He looked at Tang Youyou, who remained silent for a long time. His heart was in a complete mess.
However, the more silent Tang Youyou was, the more he felt that he was approaching death step by step. Just then, a familiar figure walked over in the distance. That figure was undoubtedly Mu Chi!
Tang Youyou remained calm and composed. She turned to glance at Hua Ling behind her. "Have you finished everything?"
Hua Ling nodded. His hoarse voice was like a broken - stringed zither being plucked. Every word he uttered filled the listener with fear.
Mu Chi said, "Of course it's done. We can go there in a while."
After saying that, he looked at the person sitting motionless on the ground. "Who is this?"
Tang Youyou gave a cold look and slowly uttered the icy words, "A useless person. There's no point in keeping him alive."
Having said that, she was about to turn around and leave when she heard the boy speak again. "No... I still have an important thing to tell you. I know one more thing. As long as you can let me live, I will definitely tell you!"
What Tang Youyou had said just now made him completely understand that Mu Chi was in collusion with her. Since his master had already given his tacit approval, there was no need for him to hide anything.
Perhaps seeing the boy's nervousness, Hua Ling pretended to say, "You can just tell us about this matter. Your master allows it."
With the affirmation from "Mu Chi", the boy had no more concerns and directly said, "Master has always been controlled by Elder Mu Qing. Elder Mu Qing has always been jealous of Elders Mu Lan and Mu Bai. So he wants to use the poisons refined by Master to take over the entire Western Region in one fell swoop."
"At present... at present, it's just because Elder Mu Bai is always accompanied by Elder Mu Lan, so they haven't been able to harm him too much."
At this point, the boy stopped speaking. It seemed that this was all he knew.
Hua Ling subconsciously looked at Tang Youyou. There was not only surprise but also some doubts in his eyes.
Tang Youyou, on the other hand, quickly stabbed three silver needles into the man's chest. The places where the silver needles went in were exactly his vital points!
This person was dead.
"You... didn't you promise to spare him?"
"It's not necessary," Tang Youyou said expressionlessly.
This action of hers made Hua Ling realize how powerful she was. Although she was decisive in killing, it was precisely because of her clean - cut handling that there would be no future troubles.
However, due to his age, he couldn't help but feel a bit soft - hearted.
Seeing Hua Ling's hesitation, Tang Youyou snorted. She waved her sleeve and said, "Womanish kindness."
Being spoken to like this by Tang Youyou, Hua Ling could no longer hold back. His originally touched face now turned bright red.
It was the first time he had been spoken to like this by a girl.
At this moment, Tang Youyou had no time to care about this. She walked towards the main gate of Chi Yunfeng in the distance. Beyond the stone gate was the path down the mountain.
There were quite a few people standing there. There were many carriages beside each person. On the carriages were precious medicinal herbs and four large vats filled with fresh blood and poison.
She had managed to bring them all out.
This time, she wanted to see what kind of person the one who had once shown her the kindness of a "benefactor" really was behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Tang Youyou flipped onto the carriage.
The fast - moving horses were like arrows shot from a bow, raising dust all around.
In just two hours, they arrived at Lanfeng Mountain.
On Lanfeng Mountain, several disciples were standing at the gate. Among them was the one whose pulse Tang Youyou had felt that day. This person recognized Tang Youyou at a glance.
"Miss Tang, why are you here? Didn't that old man do anything to you?"
The boy's words were filled with excitement and worry. But the next moment, a carriage behind Tang Youyou drove over, and a person got off it.
This person was none other than "Mu Chi", who made all the disciples in the Western Region tremble with fear.
When the boy saw this person, he immediately swallowed back the words he was about to say. He couldn't harm Tang Youyou.
The boy walked up to "Mu Chi", bowed slightly and then respectfully bent down. "Elder Mu Chi."
Hua Ling saw that the boy who had come with them not long ago was now trembling. Just as he was about to step forward to support him, Tang Youyou immediately gave him a look.
Seeing this, Hua Ling immediately retracted his outstretched hand. His face darkened, making his already terrifying face even more frightening.
"Tell your master that the old monk wants to see him. If he refuses to see me, don't blame the old monk for being rude!"
These words made the boy's hands tremble instantly. The boy nodded repeatedly and then quickly left in a hurry.
