Chapter 42 - Falsities Abound (2/2)

Each person revealed a desolate expression. The truth pill was placed before them, and they couldn't help but swallow it. For the ones who were implicit in the plot, they didn't say anything else. Either because they were hoping to still get resources, to capture the skyship back or simply didn't want to court death.

Ying Femian looked towards his brother, his eyes filled with fierce intent. ”Your daughter was likely the one most complicit in this endeavor. Your response, brother?” He asked, but anyone who heard him knew he wanted to torture this brother of his as he believed he was also involved.

Ying Sumian's father's expression changed, but he was decisive. ”The Clan's resources are our first and foremost priority. Torture her for more information. If she doesn't confess, kill her. If she does, cripple her.” With that, Ying Sumian's expression dropped. She felt horrible.

However, she was indeed knowledgeable about the event, but she didn't know Ying Yimian was going to steal anything but the skyship. After they left, she would then offer herself to be the replacement apology to He Shijing as his wife, rising in her status, despite her mediocre talent. This was her intentions, but Ying Yimian screwed her. A simple thieving of the skyship would've led to very little issues but a search, but how could the Ying Clan find her? Now, she was in this situation because of Ying Yimian's machinations.

That bitch.

She was carried off by a few men. Her end, no matter what it would be, wouldn't be good.

”Clan Lord!” A young man walked in, his brow filled with sweat from his earlier rush. He captured the attention of all the elders. ”Ying Yimian's emergency crystal has been shattered!” He urgently conveyed. When they heard this, their eyes widened in surprise.

It seems that Ying Yimian did have a way to convey her situation to the clan. Everyone's expression changed, asking where, and when they received the information, all of the elders used their maximum cultivation base and took to the skies.

Nearly half a day later, they arrived next at a grassy plain. There was a barrier erected, keeping the local disaster beasts away. In that barrier Ying Zhihao's corpse and Ying Yimian's crippled form. She looked truly helpless, like a mortal, and when one saw her they couldn't help but want to help. If one looked at Ying Zhihao's corpse, he had scratches all over his face, likely caused by Ying Yimian.

As the elders approached, they dispersed the barrier set up. Ying Yimian looked like she saw the miracle. However, none of the elders had good expressions on their faces, but she didn't seem to mind, as if ignorant of the entire matter. A few of the elders who were in on a part of the plot couldn't help but be worried. Some was even considering killing her before she could speak, but doing so in front of Ying Fenmian was still the same as courting death.

They could only hope nothing incriminating would pop up.

They were thankful after hearing what she had to say.

So it seems that Ying Zhihao used her desire to pilot the skyship as a lure. After hearing that Han Zaiji had the method, Ying Zhihao convinced him to come and pilot his skyship since he owned it according to the Clan Lord. He planned everything and they encountered no obstructions. She thought there was something wrong with Ying Zhihao's actions, but she nonetheless trusted him. After they had landed, he immediately attacked and crippled her with the intention of ravaging her and ending her life.

However, Han Zaiji used a trump card and killed Ying Zhihao. He threw both of them away, not caring about her life and death, looted their possessions and took off towards a certain direction.

After explaining what 'her' side of the story was, she also told them she didn't know the clan was robbed. The elders who knew didn't say anything, for obvious reasons. Ying Fenmian felt what she said had some truth, but it still meant the clan had internal corruption. However, now that a majority of the wealth in the clan was taken by some unknown, they couldn't really have an internal conflict because of this at the moment.

After learning the direction Yan Zaizen went, they searched but found nothing. With the skyship hidden, the territory being far too vast, and him being able to shift directions after taking one, they were once again at an impasse.

They made a depressing discovery.

Their shit was gone, and it wasn't coming back.
