Master Sen Nuo, the sorcerer, was somewhat perplexed.
"Teacher, old man Feng Jing Long has already made his will. After his death, the Feng Group will belong to Feng Ji Fei. Keeping Feng Ji Teng around is of no use at all. I really didn't expect this good-for-nothing to have any function?"
"Heh heh, Feng Ji Teng has no use now, but what if Feng Ji Fei and his heir both die? After all, Feng Ji Teng is also of Feng family blood. If all other Feng family heirs die, then according to the law, the Feng Group will eventually fall into Feng Ji Teng's hands! Sen Nuo, as a sorcerer, not only must one have powerful magic, but keen insight and a certain amount of wisdom are also indispensable."
"But, Teacher, I see Feng Ji Teng very clearly. He is the kind of person who can share hardships but absolutely cannot share prosperity. Even if he gains control of the Feng family with our help in the future, I'm afraid he won't obediently listen."
"Sen Nuo, are you an idiot? Have you forgotten what we do? We have plenty of means to control a person."
Sen Nuo nodded. "Teacher, then let's use the Puppet Gu. I think if he's controlled by the Puppet Gu, he'll know what to do!"
"Very good, let it be so. This matter is entrusted to you. However, before that, I hope Feng Jing Long and Feng Ji Fei die as soon as possible, and this problem must be resolved before Feng Ji Fei completely controls the Feng Group! Of course, there's also that Chinese doctor who ruined things. Can you handle him? Your teacher needs to focus on obtaining life essence now!"
Currently, the sorcerer Pa Zha Hei was immensely craving Bi Si's life essence. Ling Tian had killed his Gu worm, causing his breakthrough to fail. He needed life essence to repair his damaged soul and break through again.
"Please rest assured, Teacher, they will surely die!"
Leaving Pa Zha Hei, Sen Nuo found Feng Ji Teng, who was currently worried about where to hide. He was well aware of the Feng family's strength and knew that with the Feng family's informants, he would soon be found and captured if he stayed near Jilongpo.
Seeing Sen Nuo again, Feng Ji Teng was somewhat surprised. "Master Sen Nuo, what brings you here?"
"Mr. Feng, Teacher knows you are in a difficult situation. Teacher has given me instructions to protect you and help you regain control of the Feng family!"
"Really? That's great!" This news was like a delicious meat pie falling from the sky for the starving Feng Ji Teng. He didn't even consider if there might be a fishhook hidden within the pie.
"Of course, it's true. Teacher always keeps his word."
"Thank you so much, Master Pa Zha Hei. As long as you help me regain control of the Feng family, I am willing to do anything for Master..."
"Don't say that yet. We sorcerers have a principle when we do things, and that is equivalent exchange. If you want to obtain something, you must pay a price!"
Looking at the smile on Sen Nuo's face, Feng Ji Teng suddenly felt a chill. Feng Ji Teng was not a fool; he sensed ill intentions behind that smile.
"Master Sen Nuo, what does Master Pa Zha Hei want?" Feng Ji Teng asked tremblingly.
"My teacher wants your loyalty, absolute loyalty!"
"That's no problem. I will definitely follow Master's lead! Whatever Master asks me to do, I will do. Please rest assured, I know how powerful you sorcerers are. How could I, a mortal, dare to betray you?"
Feng Ji Teng put on a fawning demeanor. His words were half true and half false. On one hand, he truly dared not offend the powerful sorcerers. On the other hand, he was by no means someone who would obediently listen and be manipulated.
"Very good, I can feel your determination. However, to add an extra layer of insurance, please take this pill!"
"This... Is this necessary..." Seeing the dark pill in Master Sen Nuo's hand, Feng Ji Teng felt his stomach churn uncontrollably. Were things from sorcerers something one could just casually put into their mouths? Moreover, this dark pill looked like the grime scraped from the armpits of a vagrant who hadn't bathed in decades, all rolled together.
"Mr. Feng Ji Teng, I agree with you that you dare not have any ulterior motives towards us sorcerers. However, this is Teacher's order. Teacher said it's better to add an insurance to prevent you from betraying him, rather than killing you after you've had a change of heart and caused losses. And this pill is that insurance!"
"What kind of pill is this? Will there be any problems if I eat it?"
"Don't worry, there will be no problems with your safety after taking this pill. But if you refuse to take it, then,嘿嘿..." The threat in Master Sen Nuo's tone was very clear. He was telling the other party that if he ate this, he might still have a chance to live, but if he didn't, he would surely die.
Feng Ji Teng reached out and took the grape-sized black pill. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth, threw the pill into his mouth, and before he could even chew, it slid down his throat with a gulp.
"Ugh..." The taste of the pill was like a piece of rotten rag, soaked in water, and then left to bake in the sun for a week. Feng Ji Teng gagged for a long time but couldn't spit out the pill. He looked up at Master Sen Nuo pitifully.
"Master, I have taken this pill as you instructed..."
"Very good!" Master Sen Nuo formed a hand seal and chanted incantations. Suddenly, Feng Ji Teng felt a sharp pain in his stomach. This pain then traveled up his spine, eventually reaching his brain. At this moment, it felt as if countless steel needles were piercing his brain simultaneously. Feng Ji Teng rolled on the ground, clutching his head in agony. He had never experienced such pain since birth. This pain made him want to die immediately, but he couldn't. Normally, the human body has a protective mechanism. If humans endure pain beyond their capacity, they would fall unconscious. But now, for Feng Ji Teng, that pain protection mechanism seemed to have disappeared. The pain was constantly spreading in his brain, and the agony kept escalating. If the pain of childbirth was rated ten, the pain Feng Ji Teng was enduring had reached twenty, a level of pain that could directly kill a person.
