The simplicity with which Yang explained things belied the depth of knowledge, insight, and accumulated experience required to reach a level where one could handle matters as effortlessly as he did.
Before Yang had finished speaking, he had almost entirely uncovered the secrets of these two individuals.
Yang did not continue; instead, he glanced at Yu Ziqing, giving him a aningful look.
Yu Ziqing's thoughts raced, realizing it was his turn to intervene.
Yang ntioned South Qian repeatedly; he wasn't a fool, he understood that they wanted to implicate the people of South Qian.
Of all the people from South Qian he knew, only Song Chengyue was notorious enough to be nad.
"I'll ask just once, giving you a chance, are you people under Song Chengyue?"
"Yes." The guy with a hole in his chest was already on the edge of breaking down, and without thinking, he nodded in agreent at once.
"So, you're Old Dog Song's people."
The mont he finished speaking, Yu Ziqing struck the man's forehead with a palm, killing him instantly.
The other person next to him was nearly dumbfounded.
Shocked by Yu Ziqing's decisiveness, he wondered if there was no point in asking more questions before killing.
Yu Ziqing turned to the other person, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Are you one of Song Chengyue's people?"
"I... I..." The remaining person was suddenly unsure whether he should admit it.
"Yes or no, give a straightforward answer, I'll count to three, and if you don't speak, you might as well die; it seems you all don't want to say anything anyway."
"One..."
"Two..."
"I'll say it, I'm also under Lord Song." The remaining person responded in terror, gritting his teeth.
Unexpectedly, Yu Ziqing smiled, squatted in front of him, and patted his shoulder, looking kind.
"So, you really are Old Song's person. I thought you were trying to implicate Old Song.
Though Old Song doesn't have the greatest reputation, what relationship do we have? He definitely wouldn't screw .
Don't worry, I'll send a ssage to Old Song shortly, and have you sent back.
Once you return, pass a ssage for : this ti, I'm not too pleased, his scheming against others accidentally involved ."
The person's face was filled with despair.
Initially, he confessed to being under Song Chengyue with a resolve just to die quickly and avoid tornt.
Who would have thought such a twist would co?
Listen to how casually he referred to Old Song, only a truly familiar person would dare to call Song Chengyue, that mad dog, like that.
If he fell into Song Chengyue's hands, it would truly be a fate worse than death.
With tactics more devilish than a Devil's, that guy could easily tornt him for a hundred years without killing him or driving him mad.
He lay sprawled on the ground in utter despair, resigning himself to his fate.
"Master, whatever you wish to ask, just ask, I will surely tell you everything I know."
"What would I ask? People like you would usually have the Silence Spell cast on you, wouldn't you?"
"No, with my position, I'm just peripheral, knowing very little, not worthy of having soone important cast a Silence Spell on ."
"Oh, then tell how you got here."
"I always received tasks that directed to act, and completing them would earn substantial resources. I traded for a Cultivation Technique; soone contacted earlier, claiming there was a big thing in the making, and if successful, I'd receive resources, giving a chance to hit the eighth tier.
I'd always been at the East Sea. A few days ago, soone brought through an Abyssal Rift to this place."
"Where is that Abyssal Rift?" Yu Ziqing imdiately asked.
So it seed this guy ca later, yet there had always been people around that lake.
If this guy entered the Abyss through the Abyssal Rift in the lake, it seed impossible for no one to have noticed him.
"I don't know exactly where it is, probably not far from Yinkong Island. From there, it took just half a day. When I reopened my eyes, I was already seeing the Abyssal Rift."
Yu Ziqing narrowed his eyes.
Others' expressions subtly shifted too.
Well, who would have thought there was another Abyssal Rift leading into these mountain ranges?
Moreover, those guys, after things went awry on this side, imdiately started standing guard near the Yin Family's base on Yinkong Island, waiting for them to return.
Logically speaking, the Yin Family people would naturally be safer returning to their base; it's their fortified ground honed over generations.
Unfortunately, those people didn't anticipate Yu Ziqing didn't plan to treat the Yin Family people imdiately.
Keeping them poisoned first might be wise. Until ensuring everyone's trustworthiness, Yu Ziqing couldn't trust anyone.
If soone among them was a snitch, it would be all too easy to cause havoc once they got back.
For instance, should the Yin Family people want to seal off a minor Abyssal Rift, it wouldn't be difficult.
Severing their escape route, combined with the strange nature of these mountain ranges, ant retreat wasn't easy for them.
And the people here knew too well; knowing of another Abyssal Rift gave them a ans of escape.
"Go on."
"After arriving here, it didn't seem right. This wasn't like the usual assignnts.
Soone rely instructed to watch from afar, ensure we weren't discovered, and confirm the ones following jumped into that dark pit is all.
I don't know much more than that."
"Think clearly, whether it's truly not much or whether you don't know at all." Yu Ziqing wore a slight smile, appearing quite sincere.
