"Trash!"
Accompanied by a loud bang, Mu Yi was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. He slammed heavily into the wall in the distance, blood spurting out uncontrollably.
Mu Yi, who had been beaten to the point of vomiting blood, gritted his teeth and supported himself with both hands on the ground.
He stood up shakily, not daring to reveal the slightest hint of anger in his eyes. He stood in place with his hands clasped.
"How on earth did you do things?"
"You caused such a big commotion, yet you didn't catch her?"
In front of him stood an old man with white sideburns. His eyes were as red as fire, filled with killing intent.
If anyone else saw this, they would be afraid.
Based on the old man's gaze, no one would be surprised even if he killed Mu Yi.
Mu Yi still lowered his head and said nothing.
At this time, another middle-aged man walked out of the mansion with a flattering smile on his face and softly comforted him.
"Lord Huo, please calm down."
"Mu Yi has always done things satisfactorily. Something must have gone wrong this time."
"How could I not know?!" Lord Huo frowned.
"No, Lord Huo knows everything. Of course we all know this. Mu Yi has followed you for so long. Why don't you give him a chance to explain and let him redeem himself later? "The middle-aged man said.
Lord Huo's gaze did not soften.
He did not attack again.
Taking advantage of this time, the middle-aged man hurriedly gave Mu Yi a look, indicating that he could speak.
"Lord Huo, Village Chief …"
Mu Yi suppressed the surging blood in his chest, cupped his fists and answered respectfully.
"This subordinate's failure this time is all my fault!"
"Who else could it be?" Lord Huo frowned. "This time you went to the Qing family, you mobilized thousands of people. Such a big battle, but a little girl actually escaped. "
"This subordinate doesn't want to explain his fault."
Mu Yi's eyes darkened, and he still cupped his fists.
"But this time, I've really succeeded, including the two fire users that you've mentioned, Milord."
"Two people?" Lord Huo frowned.
"That's right." Nu nodded. "A man and a woman have been captured by this subordinate. This subordinate was prepared to come back and present them to you, but who would have thought that the man who was on the verge of death would suddenly attack this subordinate and many other subordinates. This subordinate was no match for him. "
"How did he do it? Tell me in detail."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yi recounted the situation in full detail.
Lord Huo narrowed his eyes and carefully pondered Mu Yi's words.
After a long time …
Lord Huo nodded at Mu.
"I won't blame you this time."
"Thank you for your magnanimity." Mu cupped his fists.
"But you must remember this failure. I don't want to fail. I hope this will be the last time."
"Yes!"
"Go, capture Qingyu as soon as possible. Also, I want those two fire users as well."
"Understood."
"Go. Also, bring a few more people for me."
Mu Yi and the Village Chief respectfully left the room. Not long after they left, Mu Yi cupped his hands towards the Village Chief.
"Village Chief, thank you for speaking up for me."
"If it weren't for you, I might have lost my life."
"Since when did the two of us become so distant?" The village chief smiled at him. "Don't forget, you were originally following me. Even though you are now working for Master Fire, I still cherish our old friendship. "
"Village Chief …" Mu Yi's eyes were filled with gratitude.
The Village Chief gestured for Mu Yi not to say anything else. He glanced at the room behind him and hurriedly pulled Mu Yi away.
"Master Fire has been asking for people more and more frequently."
"Yes." Mu Yi nodded. "In the past, he only needed one every ten days. Now, he needs two or three a day. Occasionally, there are those who can last longer, but they are few and far between. "
Ever since Mu Yi and the rest came into contact with Master Fire …
Therefore, Lord Fire needed humans to be his hosts.
In the beginning, he only needed one person for half a month.
Then, the number of people he needed increased.
"Looks like I have to capture Qingyu for Master Fire as soon as possible. Only then can I alleviate Master Fire's situation." Mu Yi frowned.
"Mu Yi, do you really intend to be the subordinate of this non-human fellow?" The Village Chief suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "No matter what, he is not human, but we are. He is tormenting us humans. Are you really willing to continue working for him? "
"Village Chief?"
Mu Yi's expression was somewhat displeased.
The middle-aged man smiled and patted his shoulder twice.
"Just pretend I didn't say anything."
"You wouldn't tell Master Fire what I just said, would you?"
"I wouldn't," Mu Yi shook his head. "But I hope you won't say such things in the future. It's not like you don't know Master Fire's abilities."
"I understand, I understand," the Village Chief nodded.
"If there's nothing else, then I'll be taking my leave," Mu Yi cupped his hands towards the Village Chief.
At that moment, the Village Chief called out to him.
"How are you going to deal with the Qing Family?"
"I feel like we should bring forward the purge plan as soon as possible," Mu Yi frowned. Mu Yi frowned. "It was my fault this time, but when the purge plan begins, I will not fail a second time."
Mu Yi clenched his fists.
His eyes were filled with resentment.
If it wasn't for Ye Zichen's sudden attack, he would have received Master Fire's favor instead of a scolding.
All of this had something to do with Ye Zichen.
On the day of the purge plan, he would definitely capture Ye Zichen and Bai Se and hand them over to Master Fire.
And Qingyu …
This time, he wouldn't be threatened by a little girl who was still wet behind her ears.
"See, that's how simple your thinking is," said the Village Chief suddenly.
"What do you mean?"
"You're going to capture that youth to avenge yourself, aren't you?"
"Naturally."
"But he's not in our village," said the Village Chief. "He has a territory outside. Even if the purge plan starts, we'll only be doing it for the village. We can't just run all the way to his territory."
Mu Yi nodded inwardly.
The Village Chief was right. Ye Zichen had a territory, and more importantly, he had Han Qing as his subordinate.
It would be very troublesome to deal with.
"Then what should I do?"
Mu Yi wasn't good at thinking.
He was good at doing things obediently. Whatever the higher-ups told him to do, he would just do it.
"We can use the villagers," smiled the Village Chief.
"Villagers?"
"Didn't the Qing Family get exterminated? If we don't deal with it properly, it'll be very troublesome for us," squinted the Village Chief. "But if we use them well, it'll definitely be great news for you."
"Village Chief, please explain," said Mu Yi.
"Since you've followed me for so many years, I'll give you a few words: divert the trouble," patted the Village Chief on the shoulder. "Go back and think about it."
