The scene was dead silent.
Everyone was petrified.
The two most formidable figures were instantly subdued upon their appearance.
And then there was Jin Wuji, famously known as the top young master of Peng City, who hadn’t even made a move before being frightened into falling from the sky, his body shattered upon impact.
Yun Mengyao stared at the Great Elder of the Golden Winged Roc clan, Jin Mingyang. She had seen this old man before and knew his identity. She slowly opened her mouth and said:
"Tell me, why did you kill my parents, and who was the one who did it? If you confess, I will give you a swift death. Otherwise, not a single member of the Golden Winged Roc clan will live."
"Y-Yun Miss, I swear that your parents were not killed by our Golden Winged Roc clan. I swear to the heavens, if I utter one false word, may I die a terrible death, struck by thunder."
Jin Mingyang was trembling in his stance, hastily protesting his innocence.
Yun Mengyao’s eyes were sharp, and she sneered, "I guessed you would say that; the culprit would never easily admit they are the culprit. Actually, even if you don’t say it, I know who it is. Amongst the Golden Winged Roc clan, only Jin Qianqiu could accomplish this."
"Now that Jin Qianqiu is dead, as long as you admit it, I can spare your life."
Jin Mingyang trembled and said, "Miss Yun, even if the clan leader is dead, your parents were indeed not killed by our Golden Winged Roc clan."
"We did oppress the Feather Clan in secret, but merely to prevent the Feather Clan’s power from overtaking our Golden Winged Roc clan."
"We truly never intended to kill your parents. Besides, with your father’s cultivation level, even if our clan leader acted, he might not have succeeded."
Yun Mengyao was completely unconvinced, sneering coldly, "If it was a frontal battle, Jin Qianqiu indeed wouldn’t have been able to kill my parents. However, with the Divine Woman’s Tears, he could easily achieve it."
"My elder brother Yun Lin personally witnessed Jin Wuji giving a Divine Woman’s Tears plant to my mother, knowing she liked to cultivate flowers, and thus exploiting this."
"You beasts, my mother was gentle and kind, never making enemies with anyone, yet you dared to cruelly kill an innocent, kind person. I wish I could chop you into pieces."
"Even if you do not speak the truth, I do not care; I will eradicate your Golden Winged Roc clan root and branch, leaving no one alive."
The people of the Golden Winged Roc clan were nearly scared to death, each one looking pale as paper.
Jin Mingyang shouted desperately, "Miss Yun, why impose a false charge upon us? You have experts aiding you; we admit we are no match. If you wish to destroy our Golden Winged Roc clan and the Liang Family, making Feather Clan the dominantly powerful, why find excuses to slander us?"
"If our clan truly intended to kill your parents, as the Great Elder, it’s impossible I wouldn’t know. However, I swear on my life, your parents were absolutely not killed by us."
Yun Mengyao sneered repeatedly, having long anticipated that the Golden Winged Roc clan wouldn’t confess.
"What he says is true."
Beside them, Lang Ya suddenly spoke coolly, while munching on some dried fish.
Qin Yi and others focused their gaze on him.
Yin Qianqian asked curiously, "Lang Ya, who are you saying is speaking the truth?"
"Him." Lang Ya pointed at Jin Mingyang.
This guy seems stupid, can his words be trusted?... Qin Yi asked curiously, "How do you know?"
"I possess a divine skill known as Qi Observation Technique, which can capture the speaker’s aura and determine the truth of their words."
"When speaking just now, he started with panic, gradually shifted to grievance, and finally anger because you didn’t believe him—he is desperate, turning into rage, which doesn’t align with a liar’s aura."
After Lang Ya finished speaking, he threw a piece of dried fish into his mouth, enjoying it.
Qin Yi’s eyes shone brightly, surprised that Lang Ya had such a skill, practically a human lie detector.
This Qi Observation Technique is quite interesting; when there is time, let Lang Ya teach him... He won’t deceive or mislead others, Qin Yi thought.
At this time, Qin Yi noticed a change in Jin Mingyang’s gaze, showing a different expression toward Lang Ya, more so with gratitude.
It seems he didn’t expect Lang Ya to speak up for him.
Yun Mengyao was a bit confused; she was certain the culprit was the Golden Winged Roc clan, but Lang Ya’s words caused her thoughts to waver.
When one is helpless, they subconsciously seek assistance from the person they trust the most.
Qin Yi received Yun Mengyao’s plea for help, pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, resolving this matter isn’t difficult. Jin Wuji is not dead yet; ask him whether he gave the Divine Woman’s Tears to your mother, and everything will be clear. I guess, given his current state, he will tell the truth."
Yun Mengyao was somewhat disoriented and followed Qin Yi’s lead.
Qin Yi waved his hand, "Everyone come down; if we can’t clarify this matter, none of you think of leaving alive."
These people were simply eager to get down; had it not been for Qin Yi’s pressure, they would have descended to the ground already. They were frightened stiff by Qin Yi and Lang Ya’s methods, almost falling from the air multiple times.
...
Upon reaching the ground, Qin Yi checked Jin Wuji’s condition.
He couldn’t survive.
His body was shattered, internal organs displaced, even an immortal couldn’t save him.
Qin Yi transmitted some qi to awaken Jin Wuji.
Jin Wuji awoke, quickly realizing his state, knowing he couldn’t survive, his eyes rolled up immediately.
"Don’t pass out, there is a chance you could be saved if you tell the truth, I guarantee you will survive."
The desire to live overcame Jin Wuji’s dizziness, his eyes filled with hope, "S-save me."
"I will save you but you must first answer my question."
Qin Yi was deceiving Jin Wuji; he couldn’t save him, and had to quickly ask before he died: "Tell me, did you ever give a Divine Woman’s Tears to Yaoyao’s mother?"
"Think carefully before answering, or you’ll be gone."
Jin Wuji’s eyes were confused, striving to recall, he slowly uttered, "What is Divine Woman’s Tears?"
Qin Yi and others were dumbfounded.
Could it be that the culprit was truly not someone from the Golden Winged Roc clan.
Unwilling to accept, Qin Yi, suspecting this kid was deceiving him, frowned and said, "You better be honest, Divine Woman’s Tears is a plant resembling tear-shaped droplets; someone saw you giving it to Yaoyao’s mother."
Jin Wuji seriously thought and spoke laboriously, "I-I haven’t..."
Qin Yi and the others waited a moment, finding no further statement. They looked down to see Jin Wuji dead, having passed away.
Damn, at least finish the sentence before dying.
Nonetheless, Jin Wuji’s last words claimed he hadn’t—in whatever context it may imply—be it unfamiliarity with Divine Woman’s Tears, or not sending it to Yun Mengyao’s mother, the outcome remains the same... They indeed might have mistaken the culprit.
If the culprit isn’t from the Golden Winged Roc clan, then who might it be?
Qin Yi’s gaze moved to the Liang Family members. Yun Mengyao initially suspected the Liang Family; however, Yun Lin’s words led them to conclude it was the Golden Winged Roc clan. Now it seems, perhaps a mistake was made.
