Chapter 459: Good, Fairly Honest_1

For some unknown reason, the skies above the Imperial Capital were already shrouded in dark clouds.

Yin Tian lifted his head and glanced at the night sky, where even the moon seemed somewhat obscured.

His eyes were deep, and without speaking, he simply stepped forward and walked on.

Crack!

A clap of thunder awakened many from their dreams.

Many of the Zhou Family awoke in confusion, only to suddenly hear a sharp noise.

Boom!

The crimson gate shattered into pieces, and Yin Tian, alone, stepped forward and entered the Zhou Family’s domain.

"Who goes there!"

Several Zhou Family guards upon hearing the noise rushed out.

Yin Tian’s face was expressionless as he hurled silver needles from his hand.

Whiz, whiz, whiz...

In the howling wind, the sound of the silver needles flying was almost negligible.

But one after another, the guards fell to the ground in agony, unable to move.

Soon, other members of the Zhou Family emerged.

The sky was dark, and they could only see a shadow approaching.

"Who are you!"

"Breaking into our Zhou Family at night, what is your purpose!"

"Speak! Are you mute or what?"

The Zhou Family members shouted one after another, anger evident on their faces.

"Yin Tian."

Yin Tian simply stated his own name.

The moment they heard the name Yin Tian, everyone in the Zhou Family fell silent.

Crack!

Suddenly, another thunderclap sounded out.

This one was so abrupt that several Zhou family members shuddered and fell directly to the ground!

"Yin Tian... what... what brings you to our Zhou Family?"

One person, summoning his courage, chastised Yin Tian.

Yin Tian’s gaze coldly swept over them, and then he spoke indifferently, "What brings me here? Shouldn’t you all be clearer on that subject than I am?"

At these words, several people in the crowd’s eyes flickered, and their bodies subtly recoiled.

"Zhou Family, I’ve given you far too many chances," Yin Tian slowly began, his voice so chilling that it silenced all who heard it.

From the crowd, an elder stepped forward.

It was none other than the Patriarch of the Zhou Family!

His gaze towards Yin Tian was complex.

If it had been before, he would never have let such a provocation from Yin Tian stand.

But the key lay in the events of the day; even Immortal Master Qingfeng, who had rushed from the Tian Yi Sect to the Imperial Capital to deal with Yin Tian, was defeated by Yin Tian and left crippled.

Even a being of that stature had been crippled by Yin Tian. Despite the Zhou Family’s unsurpassed ability in geomancy within the Imperial Capital, they dared not continue to provoke Yin Tian.

Seeing the Patriarch of the Zhou Family step forward, Yin Tian slightly raised his head and squinted at the elder, "Is the person in charge coming out? Since that’s the case, it’ll be easier to handle."

The Patriarch of the Zhou Family dared not meet Yin Tian’s gaze. He hung his head, the shadow of his former pride gone.

"Yin Tian, at this moment, it is our Zhou Family who is in the wrong. Tell me, how do you wish to settle this matter? Whatever compensation you want, our Zhou Family will not hesitate!"

"Compensation?"

Yin Tian let out a cold laugh, "That fire burned down an entire villa, and nearly resulted in the death of me and my fiancées inside it. And now you think you can resolve everything with just the word ’compensation’?"

The Patriarch of the Zhou Family fell silent.

He knew that Yin Tian took this matter very seriously, otherwise he wouldn’t have come knocking on the same night.

After a long pause, the Patriarch of the Zhou Family finally spoke with a raspy voice, "Then you tell me... what should be done..."

"One must pay for one’s actions; a blood debt must be repaid in blood!"

Yin Tian’s voice was firm and resolute, "I, Yin Tian, am not a wanton killer, but for today’s matter, none of those involved shall escape!"

The Patriarch of the Zhou Family suddenly looked up, disbelieving what he heard from Yin Tian, "Is there no room for negotiation?"

"What if I kill all the members of the Zhou Family, leaving only you alive, and then you try to negotiate with me?"

Yin Tian responded with a sneer.

The Patriarch of the Zhou Family took a deep breath.

His once straight back was now completely bent, "Fine, I agree..."

"From now on, our Zhou Family will never appear before you again, and you, please do not trouble the Zhou Family any further..."

"I have never actively sought trouble with anyone. If your Zhou Family hadn’t taken my fiancée, how could it have escalated to this point?"

"Hmm... I understand."

The Patriarch of the Zhou Family said with difficulty, "Zhou Pingchuan, Zhou Wanlin, Zhou Haiguang..."

He recited a string of over a dozen names, and with each name uttered, someone in the crowd’s color changed dramatically, as if their spine had been pulled out.

Finally, the Patriarch of the Zhou Family finished reciting all the names.

Yin Tian stepped forward and stood before those named.

All of them looked at Yin Tian in terrified trepidation, their faces ashen.

"Is there anyone else?"

Yin Tian asked blandly, his eyes fixed intently on the people before him.

He could tell from their reactions whether they had spoken or not.

Soon, Yin Tian nodded in satisfaction.

"Good, you’re at least honest."

Before the words had fully left his mouth, Yin Tian had already begun striking.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

In the depth of the night, the sound of breaking bones was truly hair-raising.
