In front of death, Xie Feilong shed tears and knelt down, earnestly begging. With his old and weary face, it truly gave a sense of desolation.

    If he meets someone else, it might be because of his pitiful appearance that he softened his heart. But today, he made a wrong move.

    Chen Mo had already died once, and he knew the logic that as long as the enemy was not dead, he would have to die. Naturally, he wouldn't show any leniency; while Ning Xin and Li Yueyue are both members of the Tian Mu sect, having grown up amidst deceit and violence, they had long since extinguished any gentleness in their hearts. Both of them pressed their hands against their swords, their expressions fierce.

    Xie Feilong looked at the expressions of the three people and knew that it was impossible to beg for mercy or act pitiful. He quickly changed his words: "As long as you can spare me my life, I can tell you a secret. This secret is very important, concerning the survival or death of the Heaven Dragon Empire...".

    This secret has been buried by Xie Feilong for many years and has never been confided in outsiders. He wanted to exchange this secret with Chen Mo for a chance to live, but before he could bargain with the other party, he saw Chen Mo coldly approach.

    "I'm not interested in your secret, and it concerns the survival or death of the Tianlong Dynasty. Do you know, I'm not interested in the survival or death of the Tianlong Dynasty either?"

    "No, that's impossible. You're not in contact with the empress, how could you just ignore her? If the Great Masters succeed, the empress will certainly die."

    "Who told you we have connections?"

    "If we don't have any connection, why would the emperor specially make a golden coffin for you after your death? I also heard that you and the emperor have many, many secret relationships that can't be seen in the light of day..."

    Upon hearing this, Ning Xin and Li Yueyue both looked at Chen Mo with suspicious eyes, full of curiosity and especially Li Yueyue.

    During the period when she became the personal maid of Liu Wuxin, she learned that her majesty had unusual feelings for Chen Mo. If this were to involve another woman...a love triangle?

    Li Yueyue's eyes instantly sparkled with a hint of interest, and she listened to the conversation between the two with great enthusiasm.

    "Slander, that's simply slander."

    Chen Mo's mouth twitched. He had a clean relationship with his brother Ao Tian and could not possibly have any secret relations.

    Hearing this, Xie Feilong was struck like by lightning. He never expected that Chen Mo would be unyielding, unmovable by either salt or oil. Having intended to maneuver for a while, he felt as though his heart had turned to ash. As the latter stepped closer, his desire to survive reached its peak.

    "I'm saying, I'm telling you. Please spare me my life. As long as I don't break through the third level, I have only these last few years left. Let me enjoy the last few years peacefully."

    "In fact, the World Subdued Prince didn't die. He hasn't died for three hundred years. Three hundred years ago, when the Emperor was about to order his death, he used some tricks and let a double die for him."

    "The World Subdued Prince has been in hiding, and a few years ago, he was found by the Great Master. The Great Master promised him that he would ascend the throne and replace the Empress."

    "Really, their plan is very detailed. Now that the Emperor hasn't been seen for a long time, it's because he's unable to control himself. He's been trapped. The Great Master wants to kill the Emperor, so he's preparing to find a royal descendant to inherit the throne and then control the entire empire..."

    …

    Chen Mo's gradual approach broke down Xie Feilong's psychological defenses completely, and he poured out everything he had in his heart, all for that last thread of hope.

    "Your secret, I'm very interested."

    Chen Mo suddenly crouched down and stared at Xie Feilong with a smile.

    Hearing this, Xie Feilong, who had been weeping and trembling with fear, stabilized his emotions somewhat. The tears streaming down his face showed a smile of relief after surviving a dangerous situation.

    "Then, am I not allowed to live?"

    "To live..."

    Chen Mo rubbing his chin, turned to look at Ning Xin and Li Yueyue behind him, "Does your sect have any methods to make someone obey without resistance?"

    Ning Xin stepped forward and picked up a spiritual pill from her space ring, "This is the Heart-Sucking Pill, which contains a deadly poison. After taking it, one will experience heart attacks monthly. If no antidote is taken on time, death will occur within a day."

    Chen Mo took the Heart-Sucking Pill and asked, "Dare you take it?"

    Xie Feilong hesitated for a moment. Taking the poison could extend his life by another month, but if he didn't take it, he would surely die today. After a moment of hesitation, he swallowed the Heart-Sucking Pill without a second thought.

    "Now, can I be spared now?"

    "Do you want to live for only a month?"

    "Does that mean..."

    Xie Feilong looked confused at Chen Mo.

    "Go to the Yanshan Sect, find their patriarch, and say it's my younger brother's intention. Of course, you must not reveal my identity on your journey. Otherwise, before a month is up, I will have the patriarch of Yanshan personally kill you. Do you understand?"

    Chen Mo coldly glared at Xie Feilong, who nodded submissively.

    Xie Feilong, having obtained the opportunity to live, wouldn't hesitate. Turning around, he limped towards the direction of the Kuoishan Sect, stumbling and falling along the way. Although he was injured, compared to life, other things seemed less important.

    "Mr. Chen, you're really going to spare his life?"

    Ning Xin raised an eyebrow slightly, asking.

    "This is a deal. He gave me useful information, and sparing him one life is no problem. Moreover, I feel that he probably has other secrets, so let's keep it for now."

    Chen Mo shook his head lightly. As he was about to go and see Pei Jiangnan, he saw that the latter had already rushed up with a knife in hand, and the blade was covered with blood.

    The white-robed scholar and the shopkeeper who had just been fighting with him had now become two corpses.

    "It seems I overthought it. The strength of Chen brothers and others cannot be underestimated."

    Pei Jiangnan sighed in relief and said.

    "Brother Pei, you did well too. I thought you might have fallen for it just now... Never mind that, let's not talk about that. By the way, I heard some useful information just now..."

    Chen Mo thought for a long time before deciding to tell Pei Jiangnan the message he had heard earlier. After listening, Pei Jiangnan's face became serious, "Three hundred years ago, the three kings were already beheaded for treason. And even the prince of the Ning Dynasty couldn't escape that fate. I even saw him being beheaded with my own eyes... I never expected them to swap places like that."

    "Don't you know about Dragon Huahua's plan to inherit the Grand Unification?"

    "I don't even know where the Emperor is now, let alone these things. The Great Master has held power for too long, and I know very little. However, is the change of the throne really that simple? Although most power in the court is in the hands of Miao Tiannan, it's actually Long lao who truly holds real power. As long as Long lao doesn't bow his head, no matter how much Miao Tiannan talks, he can't make Long Huahua succeed to the throne; besides, the Emperor is Long lao's personal apprentice. He can't just watch an outsider inherit the imperial throne. There are too many mysteries here..."

    Pei Jiangnan lowered his head and pondered, but couldn't come up with any answers. He had been sent to the restricted area for too long and didn't have a good understanding of the situation in the court. He basically relied on informants from the court to learn about things, and what he knew was very limited.

    "This issue is put aside for now, let's first..."

    As Chen Mo was speaking, he saw the crispy duo running over, one twisting left and right trying to shake off someone chasing after him, while the other was holding on with hands like an octopus, refusing to let go...
