Chapter 490 Xuanyuan Amazed_1

"What... what do you want to know..."

The man’s voice trembled as he spoke, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.

"This place is a branch of the Xuanyuan Hall."

"Mm..."

"You only take orders from the Xuanyuan Family?"

"Mm..."

"Today, during the day, you received orders from the Xuanyuan Family to go to the South District to abduct some girls, but the mission failed."

Yin Tian stood with his hands behind his back and slowly spoke, "You killed Sir Li Tiannan, couldn’t find those girls, and then decided to leave, didn’t you?"

The man looked at Yin Tian in terror, but didn’t dare to speak.

"As a dead soldier, you really aren’t up to standard."

Yin Tian sneered at the man before him, "Either say nothing at all or spill everything. Did you think that by telling me only half, I wouldn’t know anything?"

This man had been deliberately left alive by Yin Tian.

During the fierce battle, he clearly noticed that many men fearlessly charged at him, but there were also some whose faces showed fear.

The latter were obviously new to the Xuanyuan Family’s ranks of dead soldiers and had not yet been completely brainwashed, which was why they acted that way.

For this reason, Yin Tian had spared this man, hoping to pry more useful information out of him.

The man wore a look of resistance, and a pale yellow liquid was seeping from between his legs.

Feeling the intimidating aura emanating from Yin Tian, the man trembled uncontrollably and didn’t even dare to make eye contact with Yin Tian.

"Spill what you know, or you won’t be able to say anything ever again."

Yin Tian’s voice was indifferent.

The man hesitated.

Looking at the heaps of corpses around him and smelling the nauseating stench of blood, the man finally couldn’t hold out any longer.

"If I tell you everything, can you let me go..."

"Did you participate in the mission during the day?"

Hearing Yin Tian’s question, the man shook his head like a rattle-drum.

Yin Tian nodded slightly.

The man was not lying.

"I can spare your life."

Yin Tian stated indifferently.

Upon receiving Yin Tian’s promise, the man hesitated for a moment and finally began to speak, "What you said before is correct... all this was orchestrated by the Xuanyuan Family..."

"What was your mission?"

"To abduct those women, to use as leverage against you..."

"Heh..."

Yin Tian let out a cold laugh, "Xuanyuan Family... you really are sparing no effort!"

The man looked at Yin Tian in terror, "I’ve told you everything I should... please, spare me..."

"I said that as long as you answer honestly, I won’t kill you..."

Yin Tian spoke calmly, then suddenly, there was a flash of cold light in his hand.

Hiss hiss!

Two faint sounds were heard.

The man’s hands were suddenly covered in blood, and he lay on the ground, clutching his hands and howling in pain.

"Your hands won’t be doing any evil anymore."

Yin Tian spoke without expression and then looked with disgust at the lined-up houses.

The people from this place had done too many disgraceful deeds for the Xuanyuan Family!

But today, this place would be reduced to nothing!

Yin Tian walked over to a nearby bonfire, picked up a burning torch that had been used to boil water, and tossed it onto the thatched roof of a small hut.

The houses were particularly shabby, topped with straw.

As soon as the flames touched them, the roof immediately caught fire.

And since these houses were all connected, the flames quickly spread along.

Yin Tian wasn’t worried about causing a forest fire, as the area around the platform had been cleared of vegetation, so even flames twice as fierce wouldn’t be able to ignite the surrounding trees.

Yin Tian simply stood to one side, quietly watching.

Over three hours later, the fire gradually died down.

And these houses were completely consumed by the flames.

Yin Tian’s eyes, which had been narrowed the whole time, finally slowly opened, "Sir Li, rest assured, I will make sure the Xuanyuan Family pays the price they owe!"

...

Imperial Capital.

Inner City.

Xuanyuan Family.

Xuanyuan Wangting’s face was ashen as he paced back and forth in the study.

Thud thud thud!

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

Xuanyuan Wangting said with a grave voice.

With a creak, the door opened, and Xuanyuan Jianxue walked in from outside.

Xuanyuan Jianxue, looking confused at Xuanyuan Wangting, asked softly, "Dad, what’s wrong? You seem very restless."

"There’s no news from Xuanyuan Hall."

Xuanyuan Wangting’s expression was serious as he spoke slowly, "Xuanyuan Hall has always been in direct contact with me; they call every three hours to confirm their safety. For over a decade, it’s been like clockwork, but today, they’re nearly an hour late from Xuanyuan Hall!"

"I can’t get through to them on the phone either, I don’t know what’s happened."

"Should we send someone over to check it out?"

Xuanyuan Jianxue was also aware of Xuanyuan Hall’s importance to the Xuanyuan Family and furrowed his brows, "Maybe something has delayed them?"

"It’s unlikely."

Xuanyuan Wangting shook his head, "I don’t trust anyone else with this, you take some men and have a look."

Xuanyuan Jianxue nodded decisively without hesitation.

"Alright, I’ll go right now."
