"If you're smart, you'll let me go! Otherwise, my young master won't let you off!" the middle-aged man said from his chair, his eyes blazing red as he stared at Yang Feilong. "The power of our family is beyond your imagination!"
Slap!
Yang Feilong slapped him.
The middle-aged man spat blood and was sent flying backward.
"Don't you understand your situation yet? Do you think I wouldn't dare to kill you?" Yang Feilong's lips curled into a playful smile.
"Killing me is against the law!" the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain throughout his body.
"Killing is against the law? Heh, you know that, don't you? Weren't you trying to kill me earlier?" Yang Feilong's lips curled into a playful smile. "Besides, the country's management of special individuals is different from ordinary people! Don't think I'm some naive newcomer who knows nothing!"
"Moreover, I have countless ways to kill you, and I don't necessarily have to do it myself!" Yang Feilong sneered.
"You... what do you want to let me go?" the middle-aged man looked at Yang Feilong, a flicker of fear in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"That's more like it! Otherwise, I would have thought you were fearless." Yang Feilong chuckled.
As he spoke, he pulled up a chair, sat down in front of the middle-aged man, and said coldly, "Tell the Wu family brothers behind you to come over!"
"They won't come!" the middle-aged man said, but as soon as he spoke, he saw Yang Feilong's expression turn cold and quickly explained, "It's because they also considered the possibility of my failure. Unless I bring you away, they won't come!"
"They're quite cautious, but that means keeping you is useless, isn't it?" Yang Feilong's lips revealed a playful smile.
"No, I'm still useful. I can find a way to lure them in!" the middle-aged man said repeatedly.
"What way do you have?" Yang Feilong chuckled. "Quite a few people went out earlier, won't they ask questions?"
"En?" Hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned, then he looked at Yang Feilong. "Uh, you knew they might expose you, so why did you let them go?"
"Why? You're asking me why?" Yang Feilong shrugged, mockingly.
How could he explain to the middle-aged man that the people he sent to monitor those who went out were actually to feed false information to the people behind this middle-aged man?
As for whether the members of the Three Blade Society would tell the truth?
Yang Feilong wouldn't dare to give them the courage not to. As for using force? If the Wu brothers dared to do so, Yang Feilong would immediately attack. He believed the Wu brothers wouldn't be that foolish!
Yes, Yang Feilong already knew that the people behind this middle-aged man were the Wu brothers. He had learned this from Hu Dao, the grand leader of the Three Blade Society.
Of course, Hu Dao had only mentioned that Wu Lang was in contact with him. However, Yang Feilong inferred that Wu Hua should also be involved. And while talking to this middle-aged man earlier, he had inadvertently tricked the other party into revealing that it was the Wu brothers. The other party had realized this belatedly.
Yang Feilong had actually made two plans. While they were fishing over there, what he was doing here was similar.
"If I lure them over, will I be able to keep my life?" the middle-aged man gritted his teeth.
"If you don't lure them over, I'll kill you now. If you do lure them over, I'll let you go. After all, you've betrayed them, and they must hate you to the bone! Then you and the Wu family will be considered enemies. Enemies of my enemies are friends, aren't they?"
The middle-aged man fell silent. After a long while, he spoke.
"The Wu family is very powerful. Wu Hua and Wu Lang's father is a cultivator at the Spiritual Martial Realm! If you kill them, their father will never let you go!"
Clearly, he was still unwilling to betray the Wu family!
"You think I'm afraid of the Wu family's revenge?" Yang Feilong sneered.
He was already mortal enemies with the Wu family. They had repeatedly tried to kill him, so how could he let them go? Even if he let them go today, would they give up in the future?
Obviously, that was impossible!
Between them, it was a relationship of endless enmity!
Since that was the case, Yang Feilong was determined to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!
Kill the Wu brothers!
As for their father's revenge, Yang Feilong would accept it. He wasn't someone to be trifled with either.
Spiritual Martial Realm existences were powerful, but was he inferior? According to his master, in the path of Qi cultivation, failure meant not being able to challenge ancient martial cultivators above one's level!
Ancient martial cultivators, from the moment they embarked on the path of cultivation, were communicating with heaven and earth, which was far more profound than the ancient martial path!
Therefore, he did not fear the existence of the Spiritual Martial Realm. Moreover, no one had yet forced him to reveal his true trump cards!
Seeing the fearless expression on Yang Feilong's face, he took a deep breath. He finally understood that the other party's boldness in confronting the Wu family was not as simple as he had imagined. If he could attach himself to such a person, it might be even better than attaching himself to the Wu family.
"Can I pledge my loyalty to you?" the middle-aged man asked Yang Feilong tentatively.
"En?" Yang Feilong glanced at him, his expression one of surprise. He had not expected the other party to make such a request at all.
"Whether it's talent or strategy, you are superior to the Wu brothers. And since I have betrayed the Wu family, without anyone's protection, I will surely die!" the middle-aged man said in a deep voice. "Therefore, I seek your protection. Of course, I still have value. My own strength is not bad, late stage Profound Martial Realm, and I can provide sufficient help to Young Master Yang!"
"If you betray your former master now, won't you betray me in the future?" Yang Feilong asked back, neither agreeing nor refusing.
"A wise bird chooses its tree to nest in!" the middle-aged man said in a deep voice. "Moreover, everyone knows that those who betray their original masters become even more loyal because they know they have no retreat!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Yang Feilong's eyebrows raised. He understood the other party's meaning. Because he had betrayed once, he was already suspected. If he did something like this again, no one would trust him anymore!
And now, to show his loyalty, he would definitely backstab his former master fiercely, the purpose being to gain the recognition of his new master!
"Interesting!" Yang Feilong's lips curved into a smile.
"There's actually another reason." the middle-aged man said seriously. "I have a grudge with the Wu family!"
"A grudge?" Yang Feilong was greatly surprised to hear this.
"To be precise, I have a grudge with Wu Hua and Wu Lang's father. He killed my wife!" the middle-aged man gritted his teeth. "I always wanted to kill him, but I never had the chance! Because his strength is far superior to mine. Once I fail, I will have no chance for revenge. Of course, I considered harming his two sons. I could do that because his two sons trusted me quite a bit! But if either of his sons died, he would definitely kill me!"
Hearing this, Yang Feilong was suddenly enlightened.
Did he believe his words? He believed eighty percent. As for the remaining twenty percent, it depended on how he acted. If his actual actions were consistent with his words, then he would be trustworthy; otherwise, he would not be trustworthy, and he would not hold back any longer!
