Mu Feng's face showed a cold smile. "Your Yao family truly has deep foundations, but so what if it's passed down for over a thousand years?"
"In front of me, you are still as weak as ants. If you were really that powerful, why wouldn't you act yourself? You only resort to petty schemes behind the scenes. I detest this kind of ant-like behavior."
"You lack the strength but possess ambitions that don't match your capabilities."
"Even if you were to be passed down for another ten thousand years, you cockroaches hiding in the sewers would never stand at the peak."
"A family's way of doing things dictates their future prospects. In your situation, at most, your family's lineage will endure, but you'll always be struggling, lingering ants."
If anyone else had said this, the Grand Elder would have spat blood on their face.
However, after Mu Feng spoke, he was speechless.
Mu Feng's strength was too immense, filling him with utter despair. If the master of his family were to directly confront Mu Feng, it was likely that the entire Yao family would be annihilated in no time.
This was not an exaggeration; Mu Feng's strength surpassed his understanding, reaching the pinnacle of Grandmaster. Yet, compared to Mu Feng, he felt as weak as an ant. This feeling had never even occurred when facing his own family master.
Even his family master, who had reached that legendary realm, had never put such intense pressure on him.
The smile on Mu Feng's face became even more pronounced. "I gave you a chance before, but you didn't know how to cherish it."
"Originally, if you had honestly confessed and revealed everyone else in your Yao family, I might have spared your life. After all, you're already so old, letting you linger for a few more days wouldn't matter. But you directly threw away your chance to live."
"Do you think I wouldn't be able to find out if you didn't tell me?"
A killing intent gradually surfaced on Mu Feng's face, his eyes turning as cold as ice. "Your Yao family has been targeting me everywhere. I don't know what conflict exists between us, but I will kill venomous snakes like you."
"Do you think I got the information about your family directly from Qian Mian Ren (Thousand-Faced Person) to capture you?"
"Have you ever considered that behind your Yao family, there is someone who is constantly providing me with information? He also came to see me before, and left unharmed. Can you guess why he was able to leave?"
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's eyes widened abruptly, filled with disbelief and horror.
At this moment, he finally understood what was happening.
So, the traitor was not one of their own Yao family, but their enshrined guest.
"Mu Feng, you had it all arranged?"
"Did he tell you the whereabouts of our Yao family long ago?"
Mu Feng nodded with a smile. "That's right. In addition to that, he also gave me a lot of useful information. If I wanted to cause trouble for your family, I wouldn't need to capture any informants."
"Originally, I didn't plan to uproot you completely. After all, you are a noble family that has been passed down for thousands of years. However, your methods of operation have completely angered me. Now, I can't find that mastermind behind you."
"The person behind this has brought me countless troubles, and I have lost my patience. I don't have time to play with him slowly anymore."
"Therefore, your Yao family is doomed. After I eliminate you, if the other party still makes a move, it will prove that the person controlling everything behind the scenes is not your family. I don't need to guess who the real mastermind is now; I just need to eliminate all those who make a move."
"Know that I will find out who it is!"
When the Grand Elder heard this, deep regret flickered in his eyes. "This matter is not my responsibility, and the one who has been troubling you is not our family."
"I can swear to the heavens that if even a single word I say is false, may lightning strike me down and I die a terrible death."
Mu Feng said with a half-smile, "You seem to be dying a terrible death already. Swearing to the heavens has no effect."
"Moreover, for people like you, oaths are made to be broken."
"For your words, I wouldn't believe even a single punctuation mark."
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Your Yao family is also pushing their luck. You have thoroughly ignited my wrath. Next, I will come for you."
"After I destroy you, I'll see who else dares to make a move against me."
The Grand Elder took several deep breaths, enduring the pain, and said tremblingly, "I told you it wasn't our family. As for who is behind it, I'm not entirely clear, but our family master definitely knows."
"We were used as a tool. They told us that as long as we attacked you, they would give us an unparalleled benefit."
"And from you, we could obtain the medicinal recipes we desired. For a family that has been passed down for over a thousand years, such recipes are invaluable artifacts, capable of anything, and would further solidify our lineage."
Mu Feng's brow twitched. Listening to the old man's words, he had actually made up his mind.
He also guessed that the person behind it was likely not them. As for who this person was, he could probably only find out from the Yao family master.
At least this old man truly didn't know the information, otherwise, he wouldn't appear so helpless and aggrieved now.
Mu Feng said with a half-smile, "But you haven't given me any useful information. You're just speaking empty words here. How can I believe you?"
"Without even the slightest trust, I can only treat your words as idle chatter."
The Grand Elder gritted his teeth. "I can call our family master right now in front of you. Our family master will definitely know what's going on. What he says will surely prove my words to you."
The smile on Mu Feng's face became more pronounced. "Good, you can make that call right now. If your family master's conversation with you shows no anomalies, I might reluctantly give you a chance."
The Grand Elder felt relieved. This matter was indeed not being led by them, and he didn't know who was behind it, as the person who contacted their family master would certainly not come to him.
Although he was the Grand Elder of the family, he was at most an idle enforcer.
At this moment, he shakily took out his mobile phone and dialed the number.
