He gritted his teeth and said, "I can really give you all my wealth, as long as you let me go..."
Mu Feng was clearly getting impatient. He put on a stern face and said, "Are you done talking?"
He flinched. After all, his life was in the hands of another. He could only kneel and lower his head, saying, "I... I won't say anymore. Mr. Mu, I truly just want to save my own life. Please grant me this wish!"
Seeing the man repeatedly kowtow to him, Mu Feng's face showed no trace of emotion.
"So much nonsense. Since you don't want to leave with dignity, the way you die next will be rather miserable!"
Mu Feng's mind was made up to kill him. Like an arrow loosed from a bow, he could not be reined in.
Ouyang Zhi truly deserved his fate. He was the mastermind of this celebratory feast.
If not for Mu Feng's astonishing insight, the Sun family's Longevity Demonic Art formation would likely have succeeded.
Once the formation was complete, the consequences would have been unimaginable. The vital essence of the children present would have been completely drained, which no one could accept.
"Don't kill me, I'm afraid of death, I'm truly afraid of death..."
Ouyang Zhi kept cupping his hands, hoping Mu Feng would spare him.
Alas, death's finality had arrived. Mu Feng waved his hand, and a dagger automatically appeared in his grip.
Ouyang Zhi's tears streamed down his face in his terror at that moment.
"No, please, I beg you, spare me..." His voice was filled with fear. His life no longer seemed to belong to him.
His guess was not wrong in the slightest. Soon, Mu Feng's dagger was pressed directly against his neck.
The dagger pierced the skin and flesh of his neck without warning. Blood flowed down the blade.
"Take it easy, you must take it easy. I'm a top detective, you have no right to kill me!"
Ouyang Zhi was already starting to regret his actions. His mental state had completely collapsed at this point.
"It's time to go. Goodbye!" Mu Feng's expression remained unchanged.
With a swish, Ouyang Zhi's throat was slit, directly severing his carotid artery.
Blood sprayed out from his throat like a fountain, splattering the entire backstage.
He clutched his throat tightly, gritting his teeth and asking, "Why, why!"
"You can only blame yourself. If you had done less evil, you wouldn't have met your end!" Mu Feng didn't even blink.
Soon, Ouyang Zhi's complexion turned incredibly pale. Blood flowed out rapidly, and he was on the verge of entering shock.
Once in shock, he would have no chance of survival.
"Save me, quick, save me! I can tell you a secret, a secret that's worth my life!" He continued to clutch his throat.
However, it was all in vain. More and more blood flowed out, and the ground was already stained red, a gruesome sight.
Mu Feng sneered, "What secret could you possibly have? Of course, if you can tell me a secret that, after my evaluation, is worth your life, I don't mind letting you go!"
"Mr. Mu, I know the Sun family is brewing a terrifying plan. Once this plan is implemented, thousands of people will perish because of it!" Ouyang Zhi roared with all his might.
Mu Feng clearly didn't believe him. He said dismissively, "Is deceiving people fun? This isn't ancient times. If so many people were to die, do you think that's realistic?"
"Please, you must believe me. The Sun family are heretics. They've abducted thousands of people from all over the world to cultivate their demonic arts. In three days, they will activate the demonic arts collectively to enhance their strength!"
From Ouyang Zhi's appearance, he didn't seem to be lying.
Mu Feng's brow furrowed. "This kind of matter should be top secret. How do you know about it?"
"Since I'm cooperating with this person, I naturally had to investigate the Sun family. I have my own methods!"
"It's better that I investigated. Upon investigating, I discovered an earth-shattering secret, which is what I just told you!"
Ouyang Zhi's expression grew increasingly solemn as he spoke, but his vision was already starting to blur. He was clearly nearing shock.
Mu Feng let out a cold snort, took out a silver needle, and pricked Ouyang Zhi. Miraculously, his bleeding stopped.
Once the bleeding was stemmed, his complexion immediately became slightly more ruddy.
He gasped, his heart filled with shock. He never expected a simple silver needle to stop bleeding; it was simply unbelievable.
Ouyang Zhi clearly understood that opposing the young man before him would only lead to death, with no chance of survival.
"Continue speaking. You won't die for now, but if you dare to utter a single lie, you still won't escape death!" Mu Feng said, crossing his arms and looking down at him.
With his strength somewhat restored, Ouyang Zhi gritted his teeth and continued, "Their goal is to absorb the vital essence of all ordinary people. It is said that if they can absorb the essence of a hundred thousand people, they will gain immortality and become true immortals!"
"This is too fanatical, it's simply unimaginable!" Even Mu Feng shivered inwardly.
A hundred thousand people? What kind of concept was that? The Sun family's sins were truly too deep. To gain longer lifespans, they were willing to harm so many lives.
"Exactly, Mr. Mu. You are so kind, you will surely go to save these people, right? Mr. Mu, can you give me a chance to live?"
Ouyang Zhi had spilled everything he knew.
He understood that his life was hanging by a thread. Whether he lived or not depended entirely on whether the young man before him nodded or shook his head.
"I advise you not to play any tricks on me. After all, if it's different from what you say, you will die a terrible death!"
Mu Feng scoffed, but ultimately chose to believe him.
After all, he couldn't ignore the matters of the Sun family. Tens of thousands of lives, that would cause how much karma?
Mu Feng would absolutely not allow these insane villains to succeed. He had to intervene in this matter.
"Mr. Mu, how could I dare to play tricks on you? Just believe me this once. I beg you!"
To save his life, Ouyang Zhi's kowtowing was as exaggerated as it could be.
However, the force with which he kowtowed was significant. In just a few dozen seconds, blood began to gush from his forehead.
Mu Feng nodded slightly. "Since that is the case, I will believe you for now. But if you try any tricks later, I can end your life at any time. So I hope you remember this: I can kill you at any moment!"
Looking at the cold expression, Ouyang Zhi's heart sank completely.
