However, Chen Mo still did not respond.
"Kid, don't be ungrateful. Even if you kill me, you can't kill all of them. Someone will always get out alive. By then, your family, your friends, and you will all die without a burial place."
Seeing that persuasion wouldn't work, He Yang resorted to threats.
"It's useless," Ren Zixin couldn't help but say with a hint of mockery.
He Yang frowned and looked at Ren Zixin in confusion.
Ren Zixin took out her phone, walked up to Chen Mo, and typed a line on it: "Take him with us."
Upon seeing this, Chen Mo nodded.
He Yang, who was being held by Chen Mo, naturally saw the content on the phone.
In an instant, He Yang was a little stunned.
He looked at Ren Zixin in astonishment and asked, "He, he can't hear?"
Ren Zixin smiled and nodded, "That's right, he's deaf and mute."
He Yang was completely dumbfounded. All that he had said earlier was like playing the lute to a cow!
No, even playing the lute to a cow would elicit some reaction, but this deaf-mute person in front of him showed no reaction at all.
He Yang's face turned extremely unpleasant. No wonder Ren Zixin had burst into laughter earlier when he tried to tempt the other party.
It turned out that the other party was laughing at his expense!
Chen Mo glanced around at the people warily watching him.
He tightened his grip, and instantly, the sharp blade cut through the skin of He Yang's neck.
A trickle of blood flowed out.
Feeling the pain on his neck, He Yang finally showed fear and shouted at the surroundings, "Put away your weapons."
Upon hearing this, He Yang's subordinates could only comply.
Their mission was to protect He Yang, and they certainly couldn't let him get hurt in the slightest.
"Go, tie them all up and leave them here to fend for themselves," Qi Yuanshan ordered.
Several men stepped forward, collected the weapons from He Yang's subordinates, and then tied them all to trees.
After finishing this, Chen Mo and the others, escorting He Yang, began to move forward.
"Damn it, let me escort him!" At this moment, Qi Xiaoliang rushed over.
He gestured wildly at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo naturally understood what he meant and immediately put away his dagger.
Qi Xiaoliang held a gun to He Yang's back.
"Bang!"
Qi Xiaoliang immediately fired a shot.
The bullet grazed He Yang's ear as it flew past, and He Yang was instantly terrified to the point of wetting himself.
He was, after all, a third-generation member of a prominent family.
When had he ever experienced such a scare?
Seeing this, Qi Xiaoliang kicked He Yang in the back.
He Yang was kicked to the ground, his face contorted in pain.
"Damn it, weren't you so arrogant just now? Weren't you going to kill me? Where did all that courage go?" Qi Xiaoliang questioned fiercely.
He Yang remained silent and got up from the ground.
"Bang!"
Qi Xiaoliang kicked him in the back again, stepped on his head, and pushed his face into the mud.
"Xiaoliang, that's enough. Hurry up and move," Qi Yuanshan instructed.
Qi Xiaoliang looked displeased. "Dad, why are we still keeping him? We might as well kill him directly."
Qi Yuanshan, however, shook his head. "He can't die yet."
"Why?" Qi Xiaoliang asked, confused.
Qi Yuanshan said, "Didn't you hear what he said earlier? He was specifically guarding this road, which means there should be more of their people ahead."
"More people?!" Qi Xiaoliang was startled.
"The He family has quite the resources. But I'm curious, how did they find this place?"
Afterward, Qi Xiaoliang walked up to He Yang, put his gun to his head, and asked, "He Yang, speak up. Don't force me to shoot."
He Yang sneered, "Heh, I'm not deaf, am I? Do you think I'd tell you anything?"
Qi Xiaoliang's expression darkened, a cold glint flashed in his hand, and a dagger was directly plunged into He Yang's shoulder.
"Ah!"
He Yang's screams echoed through the forest.
Qi Xiaoliang's dagger continued to twist, the pain almost suffocating He Yang.
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
He Yang quickly cried out.
Qi Xiaoliang revealed a playful smile. "As a scion of a prominent family, how could you not know some interrogation techniques?"
"Tell me, how did you get here? And how many people do you have ahead?"
He Yang replied, "The leader is my elder brother, He Hongfei. We came in a hurry this time and didn't bring any experts."
As he said this, a hint of gloom flashed in He Yang's eyes.
Qi Xiaoliang didn't think He Yang was lying. He said, "It seems He Hongfei believed no one would discover them so quickly, so he didn't bring any experts."
Qi Yuanshan nodded; he thought the same.
Ren Zixin couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a way to enter the secret realm?"
He Yang said, "According to the people from the Ouyang family, this secret realm is located inside a cave in Camel Peak. The restriction at the entrance cannot be opened, but we can use explosives to blast an opening in the adjacent rock face."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Ren Zixin said in disbelief, "Aren't you afraid of shattering whatever is inside? You're destroying the secret realm! Destroying the inheritance within!"
He Yang scoffed, "Things left by a Grandmaster are not so easily broken. And even if there are some antiques inside, which of our prominent families lacks such things? Those families in Jiangbei are all fools, searching for jade pendants there, it's simply a joke. If we had known earlier, we would have already moved everything out!"
The crowd fell into thought.
In fact, they all knew that He Yang was not wrong. Things left by a Grandmaster would not be fragile.
The reason they hadn't thought of this was mainly due to their respect for the Grandmaster.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a faint explosion sound could be heard from the forest.
Although the sound was not loud and the distance was considerable, they could all hear it clearly.
