Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

On his way back to the Shangguan residence, Shangguan Mufeng sensed that someone was following him. At this moment, Shangguan Mufeng must have felt quite puzzled.

Fortunately, he was the successor of the Penglai Sect before, so his strength was relatively strong at this time. Although Shangguan Mufeng could not beat Qin Yu, apart from Qin Yu and Mo Yun, probably no one could beat him.

He had already entered this alley, and as soon as he entered, he focused his gaze on what was behind him. With his eyes closed, he suddenly felt a sharp sword blade. He bent down and drew a sword from his waist.

After he drew the sword, he immediately slashed behind him, sending the man sprawling to the ground. In an instant, swords flashed and shadows danced, while Shangguan Mufeng coldly stared at the people in front of him.

"I'd really like to know who put you in this place. If you don't tell me now, don't blame me for being impolite. After all, my patience has its limits."

They must have exchanged glances at each other at that moment, and then the other side launched another attack.

They all thought they could defeat Shangguan Mufeng, but in the end they were just being used as practice targets. They must have been furious at this point, so they went around to the back, but in the end they still couldn't find a way to defeat him.

"It looks like we can't beat this guy today."

They must have all been thinking about this solution all along.

He stood there, watching this group of people with a half-smile.

"Actually, at this moment I really want to know what you all want to do next. I'm willing to play along no matter what you do to me. I also really want to know just how powerful you all are."

As they listened to what this person was saying, they all felt that this person was just as terrifying as the secretary.

They had been retreating towards the back, and eventually they had all retreated to this corner, while Shangguan Mufeng was advancing step by step towards them.

Shangguan Mufeng was particularly eager to know how they planned to attack him next. In any case, he felt that he could have some fun with this group of people here.

"Looking at you all like this now, I don't know why, but I really find it a bit funny. Weren't you all quite imposing at the beginning? How come you've become so weak now? It's really laughable to me."

After saying this, the man rushed over and used the hilt of his sword to knock them to the ground. They were bruised and battered, and as they lay there, they felt waves of cold.

"I'll ask you one last time, who sent you? Don't test my patience here, or you'll regret coming here."

Upon hearing those words, they must have immediately knelt down, begging Shangguan Mufeng to spare them.

"Please, let us go! We were all forced into this situation. We were all being manipulated..."

Unexpectedly, the person next to him touched him directly, and the person immediately shut his mouth.

"Do you think that if you follow one person's lead, that person will let you off the hook? You'd be better off not saying anything here, to avoid what might happen later..."

Shangguan Mufeng also realized at this time that they were absolutely forced into this situation, and that's when he directly offered this condition.

"If you had told me this right now, I might have let you off the hook."

In the end, their eyes shone brightly, and they immediately told Shangguan Mufeng that their families had been arrested and they were being threatened.

It was at this moment that Shangguan Mufeng directly told the person in front of him, "Actually, there is something I want to tell you all. I can help you save your family members, but I have one condition: you all must do things for me."

They must have told Shangguan Mufeng at that moment that there was absolutely no problem with it.

"Alright, since that's the case, we all agree with you, Lord Shangguan. We all hope that you can do it and help us save our family members."

Afterwards, they all followed Shangguan Mufeng back, and then they wanted to ask Shangguan Mufeng what his plans were for the next steps.

Shangguan Mufeng immediately sent several people to accompany them back.

These few were hiding in secret, and Shangguan Mufeng then instructed them to report on this matter.

They must have already reported the matter to everyone, but unexpectedly, the official in front of them kicked them at this moment. This official was a third-rank official in the imperial court.

“You’re utterly useless. I sent you to take care of this one person, and you’ve already gotten beaten up like this. If you can’t take care of this one person, you can forget about ever reuniting with your families.”

He was definitely threatening these people below, and they immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly.

"Please, let our family member go."

At that moment, they told the person in front of them, "We will definitely be able to take care of this person. We hope you won't hurt our family members. Don't worry, we will definitely be able to resolve this within the stipulated time."

The person hiding in the shadows must have felt at that moment that this official was worse than an animal, actually threatening him with someone's family, which truly disgusted them.
