98: Do you want revenge?
Night, heavy rain poured down.
The Old Eunuch was originally happy.
Now, however, he was crying like a little girl, fleeing to Yanggu Prefecture at top speed.
He dared not linger for even a moment.
What he had initially thought would be a simple operation, a small Xiao Family, easily handled.
Now, it had turned into "separate actions."
Forget the rewards promised by the Seventh Prince.
If things went wrong, he might even lose his head, used by the Seventh Prince as an example.
"No!"
The Old Eunuch, his wounds bandaged, suddenly stood up.
"I must save myself!"
However, just at this moment, a dark figure quietly appeared behind him.
"Who?"
The Old Eunuch spun around abruptly, only to see a mysterious person in a black robe with a bronze mask standing behind him.
It was as if he had been waiting for him there all along.
Another expert!
The eunuch trembled all over.
Could it be that Xiao Qingyuan wasn't satisfied with humiliating him and now wanted to send someone to kill him?
However, the black-clad man's first words were a bombshell: "Do you want revenge?"
At these words, the Old Eunuch's heart felt a little calmer.
But he still didn't relax his guard.
He had come to realize that this place, Yanggu Prefecture—was sinister!
These were all a bunch of lunatics!
They had no reverence.
Especially in private, the Old Eunuch, without an imperial decree to back him, immediately changed his demeanor.
"Fellow Daoist, coming late at night, you're not intentionally trying to scare this rootless person, are you? Who is Your Excellency? Shouldn't you state your name?
As for revenge or not, this servant, everything I have is given by my master.
If my master wants revenge, as a servant, I must seek revenge even if I don't want to.
If my master doesn't want revenge, as a servant, I cannot seek revenge even if I want to."
"Hehe, interesting! Clearly his own grudge, yet he insists on saying it's his master's!"
After the mockery, the black-clad man suddenly removed his mask, revealing a stiff, eerie old face underneath.
The Old Eunuch's heart jumped; this person's aura was so evil?
Immediately after, his eyes widened in horror.
"I know, you're that Mo... Mo..."
"Mo Dengxian!"
"It's you!"
The Old Eunuch cried out in alarm, stumbling backward repeatedly.
"It's me!"
"What are you doing here?"
"Clearly, to seek revenge!"
"Re-re-re... revenge? What revenge?"
"To avenge my son, Wendao!"
The Old Eunuch breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, so it's the revenge for a murdered son."
Then it's fine!
He thought he was seeking revenge on him!
His eyes darted around; this was not an Opportunity to atone for his mistakes, so he said with a smile: "This servant said, everything this servant has is given by my Benefactor. If you want to trouble the Xiao Clan, you must..."
"Enough!" Mo Wendao interrupted impatiently: "Everything you have is given by your master!
It seems you are very loyal to your master.
I can let your master give you more!
You don't need to think about getting anything from me.
I am just a lonely soul wandering this world; all that's left is this last breath of obsession."
With that, a Treasure Seeking Rat appeared in his hand.
The Old Eunuch first showed disdain at his words, but then, seeing the Treasure Seeking Rat, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"A small place like this actually has such a good item?"
"Beast Taming?"
"And a Beast Taming of a Treasure Seeking Rat, which is not prone to backlash!"
"Good!"
A greedy glint flashed in the Old Eunuch's eyes.
When he was young, he was a powerless little eunuch; without a Foundation, he started too late.
If he had a Beast Taming Legacy, plus a Treasure Seeking Rat, it would definitely allow his cultivation to advance rapidly.
So, his eyes rolled, and he immediately became assertive: "How arrogant!
What right do you have to speak for the Benefactor?
A mere Treasure Seeking Rat is not enough.
However, if you are willing to give this little thing to this Old Ancestor as a pet, this servant might be able to put in a good word for you."
"Hahahahaha..."
Mo Wendao laughed at his words, his laughter growing louder and louder.
He wasn't angry; instead, he was pleased.
He knew too well how much trouble such greedy servants could cause.
This was the result he wanted.
This was the person he was looking for.
His son, Mo Wendao, was all his hope, but he died.
He didn't know who the murderer was.
But it didn't matter.
He, Mo Dengxian, was going to stir up a huge wave of disaster here, making everyone accompany his Dao to their graves!
Since he didn't know who the killer was, then everyone would die!
"Here!"
Mo Dengxian didn't even look, directly tossing the squeaking Treasure Seeking Rat over.
The Old Eunuch was stunned at the sight, then overjoyed.
However, the next second, his expression began to turn ugly again.
He only heard Mo Wendao say indifferently: "This is my Natal Beast, help me, and I will release the blood pact, then it will be yours. Otherwise, I can take it with me to death at any time!"
However, Mo Dengxian's next sentence made the eunuch's eyes gleam with excitement, even ecstasy.
"I have a second sincerity, and that is the Qingxuan Xiao Family. Do you know why Xiao Qingyuan would rather refuse the Seventh Prince's recruitment than move the Xiao Clan Immortal Family out of Qingxuan?
Because... right here, there is a huge underground mineral vein, whose value is no less than a third-tier Spirit Stone mine.
Even larger, immeasurably large."
At this point, Mo Wendao pointed to the Treasure Seeking Rat in the eunuch's hand.
"This is something the Treasure Seeking Rat found; there's absolutely no mistake.
Bringing back this news is enough for your master to give you more!
Hahahaha..."
At this point, Mo Wendao suddenly laughed: "Or, you can also choose to go for the direct, hard approach, personally send people to destroy the Xiao Clan Immortal Family, capture people for interrogation—I'm fine with either!
It's just whether they truly know about this is hard to say.
After all, when I saw it, there were no signs of it being mined."
"Is that true?"
A sharp glint flashed in the Old Eunuch's eyes; with this, he wouldn't have to worry about being purged by the Seventh Prince.
An unexpected pleasant surprise!
No!
It was a blessing in disguise!
Thinking of this, his gaze towards Mo Dengxian changed.
He was genuinely honest!
Too honest!
So his old face immediately broke into a wide smile: "Enough, Fellow Daoist's sincerity is sufficient.
In that case, things will be much easier!
I will have people revoke your warrant and clear your name.
I can also help introduce you to the Benefactor.
And I can give you Medicinal Pills, treasures, what do you want?
Spirit Stones, Opportunity, Magical Artifacts, beauties?"
The Old Eunuch laughed heartily, waving his hand, and a string of promises, as if costing nothing, spilled out.
Mo Dengxian sneered inwardly, then shook his head abruptly at the words.
"You're wrong!"
The Old Eunuch was stunned at his words.
"I'm wrong? I'm wrong again? What do you want, you can say it, this servant will grant it all!"
"You're wrong, you're all wrong, Eunuch, the one I'm looking for has never been the Seventh Prince, but you!"
"Me?"
The Old Eunuch's expression stiffened.
He subconsciously tightened his buttocks.
Damn!
He still underestimated the mental state of the locals.
Are they really that perverted?
"That's right, it's you!"
Mo Dengxian's lips moved slightly.
Rumble—!
Just then, lightning flashed.
It illuminated Mo Dengxian's face, revealing extreme cruelty and venom.
His crazed appearance was extremely terrifying.
However, merely seeing Mo Dengxian's lip movements, cold sweat already broke out on the Old Eunuch's forehead.
Terrified, he retreated repeatedly.
His orchid finger trembled wildly as he said:
"heart-staining grass? You want to create a beast tide?"
Mo Dengxian's smile grew even wider, his tone full of sinister malice: "That's right, what I want is a beast tide!
Only Central Capital has heart-staining grass; to others, this is a forbidden item.
But to eunuchs, this item is a common thing that counters the stench, using poison against poison.
For you, Eunuch, it shouldn't be difficult, right?
I want this, and... a lot of it!"
