With that, he turned and waved his hand, signaling the others to follow him. His movements were swift and decisive, and in the blink of an eye, a group of people vanished into the doorway, heading towards the dense forest.
Afterward, Lin Feng's expression grew stern as he gestured for the members of the Fenghuohui to step forward quickly. As they approached cautiously, Lin Feng's piercing gaze fixed on them. He spoke each word with precision: "Listen carefully. If anyone dares to betray us or leak even a hint of information, there will be no escape!"
His voice was cold and chilling, as if it could penetrate their very souls.
Once he finished speaking, Lin Feng exchanged a glance with his subordinate, who understood immediately. They stepped forward and forced black pills into the mouths of the thugs, prying their jaws open to administer the poison.
Coughing violently, the thugs struggled but dared not resist in the slightest. Observing their pitiful state, Lin Feng let out a cold smile and continued, "This is a special poison known as the Heartbreak Powder. In three days, its effects will take hold. You will suffer from internal bleeding and die in excruciating agony—your death will be truly horrific!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the thugs turned pale, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. They fell to their knees with a thud, banging their heads on the ground in desperation. "Please spare us, my lord! We would never dare! Truly, we wouldn’t!"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, a barely perceptible smirk appearing on his lips as he replied, "As long as you obey my orders and return here on time in three days, I will provide you with the antidote."
"Yes, yes! Please rest assured, my lord! We will definitely comply!" The thugs nodded vigorously in agreement.
Then Lin Feng selected two of his most capable and astute subordinates and whispered instructions to them. The two blended into the group of thugs seamlessly.
Finally, under Lin Feng's sharp gaze, the group moved like startled birds as they hurried deeper into Daliang Mountain.
Two nights later, silence enveloped the surroundings as moonlight spilled onto the ground like water. Lin Feng sat alone in his room, contemplating recent events.
Suddenly, a faint sound from outside broke the tranquility. He perked up his ears and listened intently as the noise grew closer.
After a moment, Lin Feng confirmed that it was the sound of footsteps returning. He quietly approached the door and carefully opened it to look outside.
Before him stood two figures—the very individuals he had sent out two days prior to investigate the internal affairs of Fenghuohui. As they saw Lin Feng, they hurried forward with serious expressions on their faces.
Lin Feng welcomed them into the house, closed the door, and gestured for them to sit down and share their story slowly.
One of them took a deep breath and began to report in detail about their investigation. It turned out that the Fire Association had been around for many years, maintaining a low profile and not attracting much attention. However, recently they had changed their approach, actively recruiting people to help with mining and ironworking, while also expanding their operations.
What was even more shocking was that there was a hidden secret mine in the area, and the ores extracted were being transported to an unknown location. Lin Feng listened quietly, his brow furrowing deeper with each revelation.
He pondered to himself: It seems that the Fire Association has some ulterior motives!
