255: Mulan Mansion's Plan

Mulan Manor was determined to win the top spot at the Immortal Sect Tournament. This time, no matter who tried to stop them, Mulan Manor would not let them off easily.

In that regard, Physician Chen was actually being kind.

If Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue, along with Li Changfeng, were to really attend the Immortal Sect Tournament...

...they might just die on the road, as the people from Mulan Manor would definitely show no mercy and kill them.

This was actually something Physician Chen did not want to see; after all, he did not want to kill innocent people either.

"However, even if what you say is true, I do not believe in such bad omens." Situ Jiu's face was grim, and a cold glint erupted in his eyes.

"That's right, we trust Mr. Li. As long as Mr. Li is with us, we will definitely secure the top spot at the Immortal Sect Tournament. Even if our opponent is Mulan Manor, we will certainly succeed." Nan Qingyue's face was grim, and she wore a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Physician Chen's eyes lit up, and he turned back to look at Nan Qingyue.

"So you are also Disciples of an Immortal Sect? And you are also going to participate in the Immortal Sect Tournament!" Physician Chen speculated. "No wonder you are so interested in matters concerning Mulan Manor."

Situ Jiu's face remained grim. "I advise you to speak less, otherwise, you won't even know how you died."

"That's right, we are indeed Disciples of an Immortal Sect, and we are going to participate in the Immortal Sect Tournament. However, we do not know what methods Mulan Manor will use to deal with those attending the tournament."

"We want to learn about Mulan Manor's methods through you!" Situ Jiu did not mince words and stated his purpose directly.

In fact, these were exactly the thoughts of Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue; since they were aiming for the top spot at the Immortal Sect Tournament, this journey would surely be fraught with danger.

Nan Qingyue also wanted to understand Mulan Manor's methods so that she could help her master win the top spot at the Immortal Sect Tournament.

"Young Lady, Young Master, you two should take Mr. Li and leave quickly! Leave this place! Only then can you survive." Physician Chen was being kind.

"What do you mean by that!" Situ Jiu's face was grim; he was unwilling to give up and clenched his fists tightly.

Just at this moment, Situ Jiu stepped forward, toying with the Dagger in his hand.

In the air, the Dagger flashed with a cold glint that made one gasp; the Dagger was terrifying and not to be underestimated.

"Actually, it is quite simple. Mulan Manor intends to use Yizhou as a stronghold to bring the entire Northern Territory under its control. Since there are no powerful Immortal Sect families here anyway, if Mulan Manor wants this place, it is just a matter of saying the word." Physician Chen recounted, touching upon this point. "Furthermore, Mulan Manor is not just targeting the Northern Territory, but also the Southern Region. I believe it won't be long before the entire Zhongliao becomes Mulan Manor's territory."

"Today's Mulan Manor already possesses the strength to contend with the Immortal Country. Although the Immortal Country is still nominally supreme, isn't it Mulan Manor that truly holds the real power?"

"I believe you two understand this better than I do."

Physician Chen smiled slightly as he spoke these words.

Just then, Physician Chen stretched his limbs, looking quite helpless. "If you have a way, you could eliminate Mulan Manor's influence in the Northern Territory. But if you do not, you had better leave quickly."

"But what if I say no?" Nan Qingyue's face was grim, and the anger in her heart was instantly ignited.

"Then you will have to leave it to fate. If you cannot eliminate Mulan Manor's influence in the Northern Territory and yet do not want to leave Yizhou, then whether you live or die will depend on whether the King of Hell decides to collect your lives." Physician Chen smiled slightly as he said this.

In truth, these were all thoughts Physician Chen had harbored. Long ago, Physician Chen had already considered leaving Mulan Manor, but over the years, he had seen many who betrayed Mulan Manor, and their fates were never good.

It was precisely because he had seen the fates of these people that Physician Chen had dismissed the idea time and time again.

However, in the face of Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue, Physician Chen had already embarked on a path of betraying Mulan Manor; even if he were to return to Mulan Manor, his betrayal would surely be discovered.

Mulan Manor could no longer tolerate Physician Chen, and for the remaining path, Physician Chen could only rely on himself.

It was precisely because of this that Physician Chen had no more reservations.

"What you have told us is truly very useful." Situ Jiu curled his lips into a smile; he now understood Mulan Manor's general strategy.

With this, Situ Jiu had a clear goal to disrupt Mulan Manor's plan.

Since Mulan Manor wanted to unify the Zhongliao region, then let a powerful Immortal Sect appear in Zhongliao first.

As long as there was an Immortal Sect to hold the fort, even Mulan Manor would not dare to act recklessly. Situ Jiu already had a plan.

"No need to thank me. I am going to die soon anyway, so telling you these things is just telling you." Physician Chen's expression was ugly, his brows furrowed, and he looked quite dejected.

Physician Chen understood in his heart that he was destined to be killed, and in that regard, there was nothing to be done.

As for Physician Chen, he also wanted to live a good life.

However, Physician Chen had already revealed Mulan Manor's secrets; even if Situ Jiu were to let him go, Mulan Manor would definitely not spare him.

Perhaps in the future, Physician Chen would only be able to live a life of hiding.

"I don't think you need to be so dejected, do you? You aren't dead yet, and besides, I won't kill you." Situ Jiu smiled slightly, reached out, and gently patted Physician Chen on the shoulder.

In fact, Situ Jiu had no intention of killing Physician Chen at all; he just wanted to know what he needed to know.

Furthermore, for Situ Jiu, killing a Physician Chen posed no threat to him at all.

"Even if you don't kill me, I cannot survive. Even if I live, it will just be a miserable, cowering existence." Physician Chen sighed deeply, his eyes filled with dejection.

Physician Chen had no other choice; he was originally a parasite of Mulan Manor, and without Mulan Manor, he was nothing.

Physician Chen didn't even dare to imagine how he would survive if he left Mulan Manor; at that point, simply staying alive would likely be a huge problem.

"Why?" Nan Qingyue asked, her face full of curiosity, her brows furrowed.

"I have revealed Mulan Manor's secrets. Once you choose to act and disrupt Mulan Manor's plan, the people from Mulan Manor will definitely realize that someone has betrayed them. Eventually, they will surely trace it back to me, and from then on, I will be hunted by Mulan Manor forever, with no peace for the rest of my days."
