Chapter 292: Colluding on the Testimony

As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Zhanxin was instantly flushed with rage.

"Bullshit! Those are just your excuses; you never intended to let me go from the very beginning!"

"You're actually quite clever," Ye Lin said with a grin.

"If you dare to kill me, the Xie family won't let you off!" Xie Zhanxin could only bring up his background, attempting to grasp this final straw of hope.

"Whether I kill you or not, the Xie family won't let me off."

As the words fell, Ye Lin thrust his spear out, piercing directly through Xie Zhanxin's heart meridian and shattering all his vitality.

Xie Zhanxin's eyes widened as he slowly collapsed to the ground, his gaze filled with unwillingness and regret. Perhaps he had not expected that capturing a Forbidden Curse Mage would cost him his own life.

With Xie Zhanxin dead, the other four members of the Xie family certainly could not escape Ye Lin's pursuit. In just a moment, the other four all perished under Ye Lin's Imperial Gold Spear.

In an instant, a red beam of light shot up into the sky from Ye Lin's body, drawing significant attention.

He did not use a clone to bug the system to make the light pillar disappear, because it would be futile; his level could certainly not be hidden. In the Mountain-Sea Secret Realm, besides Zhuge Yi and the others, only he could have killed Xie Zhanxin.

Coupled with the grudge between himself and the Xie family, even if that old geezer Xie Hong were senile, he could still guess that Xie Zhanxin was killed by him. If there were no red light pillar on his body, it would instead expose the fact that he could eliminate the red light pillar.

In any case, with the video as evidence, the deaths of the people from the Supreme Academy and the five men including the burly man could all be blamed on Xie Zhanxin; he was ridding the world of a scourge!

As long as he could occupy the moral high ground, even the Xie family would not be able to take action against him in front of the Son of Heaven!

"Zhuge Yi's side should help me provide cover; now all that's left is the Jiang family. I need to find Jiang Wenya and align our stories."

Ye Lin felt that the Jiang family should not have gone far yet, so he hurriedly chased in the direction they had left.

"Forbidden Curse — Dance of the Instant!"

Ye Lin transformed into a streak of light and sped away. About half an hour later, he successfully caught up to the Jiang family's Dark-Winged Night Owl.

At this moment, Jiang Wenya also noticed the approaching red beam of light. She looked back, and upon seeing that the person wrapped in red light was Ye Lin, her face was filled with shock.

"Ye Lin?! You actually broke out of the encirclement of the Zhuge family and the Xie family, and you killed people? How did you do it?"

Jiang Wenya's eyes were filled with disbelief; those were the elites of the Zhuge family and the Xie family, yet Ye Lin was actually able to fight his way out?

"Miss Jiang, let's step aside to talk." Ye Lin gestured for Jiang Wenya to come to the side.

"If you have something to say, say it here."

Jiang Wenya looked at Ye Lin with vigilance; clearly, his previous act of plotting against her still rankled her.

"That won't do. How can one whisper in front of others?" Ye Lin shook his head.

"If you won't say it, then forget it. I don't really want to hear it either." Jiang Wenya refused to budge.

"Sigh, Miss Jiang, I really don't want to fight you." Ye Lin sighed helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenya was so angry she laughed.

"Ye Lin, you don't really think my Jiang family is a soft persimmon, do you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, head after head of magical beasts began to glare at Ye Lin, every pair of eyes filled with violence and bloodthirst.

"The Jiang family is certainly not a soft persimmon..." Ye Lin scratched his head shyly, "... ut you aren't exactly hard, either."

The smile on Jiang Wenya's face slowly faded.

"Is that so? Then come and try!"

Roar!

The magical beasts let out an angry roar and charged toward Ye Lin in a dense swarm.

"Hey, are you treating me like you treated Xie Zhanxin?"

"Forbidden Curse — Spatial Transition!"

With a ripple in space like water, Ye Lin disappeared from where he stood.

"Careful, it's a Space-type Forbidden Curse!"

The Jiang family members were startled and hurriedly maneuvered the Dark-Winged Night Owl to dodge. The next second, Ye Lin appeared exactly where they had just been.

The Imperial Gold Spear swung out violently. Although it didn't hit, the aftermath from the extreme power attribute still nearly flipped the Dark-Winged Night Owl over!

Taking advantage of the time the Dark-Winged Night Owl was stabilizing itself, Ye Lin quickly arrived above its head and stomped down with force!

The Dark-Winged Night Owl let out a mournful cry as if struck by a giant hammer and plummeted from the sky like a kite with a broken string.

The Jiang family members were also sent into a daze. By the time they reacted, the tip of the Imperial Gold Spear was already pressed against Jiang Wenya's fair, slender neck.

The Jiang family members were all stunned, looking at Ye Lin as if he were a monster.

In less than a minute, he had successfully captured Jiang Wenya alive. Even among the young elites of the Five Great Families, it would be hard to achieve this level, right?

"How about it, Miss Jiang? Can we talk properly now?"

Ye Lin wore a smile. As he spoke, the Imperial Gold Spear pushed forward slightly, the sharp tip instantly piercing Jiang Wenya's skin and drawing a bead of bright red blood.

Jiang Wenya's expression was grim, but she could only nod. The red beam of light on Ye Lin's body proved that this guy really would kill!

Afterward, Jiang Wenya went to the side with him, and Ye Lin got straight to the point.

"I killed Xie Zhanxin."

"What?!" Jiang Wenya was shocked. She knew Ye Lin had killed people, but she hadn't expected that the person he killed was Xie Zhanxin!

That was a true direct descendant of the Xie family, and a rare genius among them at that! By killing Xie Zhanxin, the Xie family would certainly not let the matter rest!

When that time came, what Ye Lin would face would be the thunderous wrath of the Xie family!

"Don't get excited yet. Let me show you something."

Ye Lin showed Jiang Wenya the recording from Feng Tianyu's phone. Jiang Wenya's expression shifted constantly; she had mastered the intangible cultural heritage skill of "face-changing" on the spot.

"The truth about me killing Xie Zhanxin is just like this. No matter who asks you, it's like this, understand?" Ye Lin smiled very kindly.

"You want me to help you hide the truth? Impossible! This will completely offend the Xie family!" Jiang Wenya refused flatly.

The Five Great Families were not on good terms on the surface, but that was only on the surface. They would never do anything that truly damaged each other's foundations.

Killing Xie Zhanxin was undoubtedly shaking the foundation of the Xie family. If he didn't die, he would at least be a Third Realm powerhouse in the future.

"Oh? Is that so? Then you want to offend the Son of Heaven?" Ye Lin looked at Jiang Wenya with a half-smile. "You say, if the Son of Heaven knew that it was you who took me to the Mountain-Sea Immortal Demon Cave, and even let me steal a Taotie stone carving for you, what would the Son of Heaven do?"

"You!"

Jiang Wenya clenched her fists, staring fixedly at Ye Lin.

"What? Want to kill me? You can try!" Ye Lin spread his hands.

After a heave of her chest, Jiang Wenya calmed down again, then stared coldly at Ye Lin.

"I will help you, but this is the only time. Don't come looking for me again in the future!"

Hearing Jiang Wenya's words, a playful smile appeared on Ye Lin's face.

"A thief is a thief; I'll be living off this secret of yours for a lifetime."
